The black tea tapiochi doesn't really have any flavor but the brown sugar tapiochi has the distinct roasted taste, which adds more character to the popcorn milk tea. So I got the popcorn milk tea and I feel like that's the only thing I only want from them now. It's a strong toasty tea blend with rich creamy buttery popcorn flavor, tastes just like a cereal milk or almost like a corn milk! A small but cozy hangout spot with some minimal aesthetic decors, it was half packed with teens and adults around 8pm on a Sunday but plenty parking outside. Service was fast and nice. Only complain I have is that this small cup of drink does not really worth $9 to me. They do have some other interesting teas but the price is just little shocking to me.

The tapiochi in the drink was good, but the drink itself tasted just like a nutty milk. There wasn't much of a strong flavor of tea at all. I thought they were supposed to be famous for their tea. The drink was average at best, but definitely not worth the nine dollars. The vibe inside was pretty cool and the service was normal. There is a small free parking lot so you don't have to worry about paying for parking.

I love how they have so many options, depending on what you're feeling that day. Will need to be back to try the extensive matcha options as well. Service is always friendly and fast. Plenty of seating if you want to get a few hours of productive work or studying done. Plenty of food options to fuel your study session. I love their everything bagel with scallion cream cheese! The scallion cream cheese is everything. It's perfect for a quick, savory lunch. Their chocolate walnut cookie is amazing as well. Overall, I love Outpost Coffee for the variety of options for both your afternoon pick-me-up or lunch while you grind, hang out, or just enjoy your afternoon!

Been wanting to try this local coffee shop for a while and visited on a weekend. It wasn't as busy…read morebut the shop was definitely filled with people staying to enjoy their coffee. It was nice with plenty of seats still available. There were two entrances and was easy to find. The baristas were friendly as my fiancé ordered for us. I got their yuzu espresso tonic coffee. I am always looking for the sweetness as espresso and tonic are definitely a bitter combination and I think it was on the sweet side, but it was a good sweet. It seemed house made. We also got the croffle and it was delicious. Definitely would come again to try out their other drinks.

I love their cold brew here. It has depth and doesn't have a generic profile. The service here is good too. The staff here are very attentive and helpful. As for the ambiance of the place, it's like a mini gallery with minimalist decor and huge signature art pieces. It's a good place to get coffee and work. Don't let the small entrance deceive you. It's very spacious. The pricing here is very reasonable. It's also easy to find parking out. It's everything you want from a coffee shop. Although we didn't get to try the pastries, we're sure it's delicious.

I had stopped by because I wanted to get a croffle for myself. Of course, trying their coffee was also on my to do list. We stopped by on a Sunday morning, and quickly got to place our order. My fiancé ordered their tonic and of course, I ordered their Banana Cream Latte. I also scored their last plain croffle of the day and also got their everything seasoning croffle. It didn't take long for us to get our coffee or our pastry. Their plain croffle was good, but I wished we had the option to have it warmed up. Their everything seasoned croffle was decent if you want a savory pastry. My banana cream latte was strong, but wasn't strong in banana flavoring. I mixed my cream too towards the bottom, and still found barely taste it. The baristas here are also very aesthetic and silly. They had a great time making coffee and taking orders. The art here is stunning. There's also plenty of study space with cushioning available. It's a lovely concept. I think I'll have to come back to try a different drink.

I now go to Tacitas pretty regularly and my go to drink is the iced Azteca, which is perfectly spiced and delicious every time. Some of my family's favorite drinks are the Amorcita (iced or hot) and the Sol de Chai. I also love trying their seasonal drinks when those rotate in and if you guys read this, please introduce a seasonal drink flight so I can try everything at once thx :) The shop itself is super cute and cozy and literally every single person on their staff is super friendly. They do a lot of cool community events which I think is amazing and I love their sustainability efforts too. Would absolutely recommend stopping by if you're in the area and want to try something new!

I came here specifically because for the Biscoff latte. I was surprised that they only offered it…read morehot, but it was good nonetheless. They smeared Biscoff spread on the cup and used just enough syrup so that I could taste the cookie butter but not to the point where it was overly sweet. In fact, I would argue that it wasn't that sweet at all and the espresso was a lot stronger. There were a few cookie crumbs at the bottom too so I'm not sure if they incorporated it in the syrup or if it just sank to the bottom by the time I got my drink. I also tried the hot horchata latte but it seemed more like a regular latte sprinkled with cinnamon powder because there didn't seem to be any syrup. I loved the vibes on the rainy Monday I visited and a lot of people were in there working or studying, since there were outlets against the wall. The workers were nice and approachable, and the drinks came out quickly.

For the pastries, it looked like a lot of the ones I was hoping from browsing online were not available. I ended up getting the biscoff cheesecake. It was on the sweeter side but it was very good. For the drink, I ended up getting the banana latte. Been on a streak of getting that lately so wanted to compare with other stores. I didn't get a lot of banana in the taste. At least it had an espresso shot for the caffeine fix and did not taste like the artificial banana. Nothing special there and stand out. For the interior, they had a few seating they primarily accommodated a few groups of four and two. I was able to grab a bench seat that had an outlet. However, there wasn't enough space for my laptop and the items I ordered. WiFi was available but it had a 90 minute limit. The store had a moderate noise level and stayed busy throughout the time that I was there. The service on the order was quick and they do bring it out to you. The store also has their own house espresso which was a medium dark roast. American Express is accepted as a payment option here. Overall, it was a decent work spot. If I come back, I'd prefer to try another drink and hope other pastries are available. Would recommend the biscoff cheesecake for those that want something sweet and the house coffee beans for those that like medium roasts.

I ordered the half sweet matcha with oat milk, and it was delicious. The portion size was generous, and despite how busy they were, my drink came out surprisingly fast. I loved that you can order from a touchscreen kiosk and easily customize your drink with all the available add ins. The menu is huge, but the digital ordering system makes it easy to browse and see all your options. The location itself is small with minimal seating, but it has a cute atmosphere and a great vibe. Overall, a solid spot for tea and matcha lovers, and I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu.

Convenient and Customizable -- A Solid Go-To My all-time…read morefavorite boba spot was Sunright Tea Studio, but unfortunately it's closed down, so I've been on the lookout for a replacement -- and this place has become my current go-to. What I love most here is the ordering experience. There are multiple large touchscreens where you can fully customize your drink -- sugar level, ice level, add-ons, substitutions, you name it. I almost always go for zero sugar, and the fact that I can do that easily is a huge plus for me. It's the kind of flexibility that modern boba shops should all offer. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable, which is refreshing compared to some other spots in the area. Is it the most amazing boba I've ever had? Honestly, no -- but the ability to build your drink exactly the way you want it more than makes up for it. There's also a large display screen showing order status, so you always know when your drink is ready. It's a small touch, but it makes the whole experience feel smooth and stress-free. I'll be real though -- I probably drink more coffee from the Starbucks across the street than boba from here. At the end of the day, coffee feels like the healthier daily habit. But when I'm in the mood for something different, this place is where I'll be.

Ordered the double matcha einspanner ($8) and yuzu sparkling ($6.25). When inquiring about "No Ice"…read morefor the double matcha, the person at the cashier said the drink would only be filled halfway, so went with "Less Ice" as half-filled for the small cup size would be a couple sips at best. For "Less Ice", the cup isn't filled all the way for both drinks. Nice setup inside and they provide free water and free wifi for customers. Drinks were decent, and "Less Sweet" is still pretty sweet. It was disappointing to learn the drinks are less filled when "No Ice" is selected, especially for an $8 cup of matcha. Other low reviews share similar sentiments and wouldn't come again.

Some of the most popular and hyped-up shops have weak tea flavors, yet their wait times and sales are through the roof. Maybe it's placebo, maybe it's the hype...and today, I was invited to try ChaHalo's new Lychee Series, and these are my honest thoughts. (Also the shop is in a busy parking lot with lots of restaurants, stores, and grocery. The shop has very cushy chairs!) I tried all of the lychee drinks at 100% sweetness and tasted them immediately, as the ice started to settle, and again after the ice completely melted and am impressed that the flavors held up through each stage. I'd get them again except for the smoothie. Lychee Oolong Milk Tea: This was my favorite. It's milky with a pleasant sweetness, but neither the milk nor sweetness overpowers the oolong tea or lychee - the flavors were harmonious. The lychee adds just a tiny bit of tartness, while the oolong is fragrant without being too strong and they create a buttery flavor. Lychee Smoothie: This one was my least favorite, but mostly because I'm just not a huge smoothie person unless there's some creaminess to it. The smoothie also melts a little too quickly for my preference. There was a generous amount of house made lychee jelly, and I really liked it. The jelly didn't taste watered down at all. Every sip was smooth and pleasant, and the jelly added both a nice texture and an extra layer of lychee flavor. Lychee Jasmine Lemon Tea: This had a really nice sweetness, and again, the flavors worked well together. The jasmine tea was prominent, while the lemon was mild and added a pleasant fragrance without making the drink too sour. It also wasn't bitter, very light and refreshing. I want to point out: I actually hate the flavor of canned lychee. I love fresh lychee fruit, but canned lychee has a very distinct flavor that I personally don't enjoy. Canned lychee is used at probably almost every boba shop, so it's something to be mindful of when ordering lychee drinks. You should expect that distinct canned-lychee flavor rather than fresh lychee but depends on how the shop uses it. (same with longan) I think ChaHalo used it well. The lychee flavor was noticeable without completely taking over the tea, and the drinks continued to taste good even as the ice melted.
