While traveling past Gilroy I was craving a coffee from a small coffee shop - NOT Starbucks…read more I took a detour and I was happily surprised. I ordered a small dirty chai and the cutest almond croissant - didn't look like a typical one. The young lady at the counter shared that the owner does all her baking and had recently started changing her almond croissant recipe and she recommended it to me. I am a sucker for an almond croissant!! Chai = 10/10 Almond croissant = 11/10 I WILL return just for the Almond Croissant!!!! Stop by this cute coffee shop whenever you're in Gilroy, you won't regret it.

The staff was incredibly friendly and kind, and the service was very speedy, I was in and out in about 5 minutes. I ordered a caramel macchiato and a danish, and both were so good. I'll definitely be returning again! The inside had a rustic feel and also featured a cute little area with small gifts for purchase. I ended up buying two stickers while I was there. They also offer seating both inside and outside, and parking was easy to find, which made the visit even better.

We each ordered a drink and a meal - chicken lettuce wraps (the same meal for each of us). The meal took over an hour to arrive which gave us 10 minutes to eat We were the only 2 people in the restaurant The staff made excuses saying there was only one cook and that the dish was difficult to make The best they offered was to give us our meal to go. Won't be going back. Again VERY disappointing

I'm a huge fan of boba pearls, so I ALWAYS order double boba with my drink. I have no problem paying the extra charge for it. Unfortunately, I've had two separate experiences where they couldn't make my order because they didn't have enough boba available for double boba. Both times, I ended up leaving empty handed because that's the whole reason I came. As a customer, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a boba shop to have enough boba on hand, especially for customers who are willing to pay extra. This seems like a preventable inventory and supply planning issue. If I were managing the store, I'd want to make sure we never ran out of our main product. After today's experience, I've decided I won't be returning. It's disappointing because this used to be my go to spot, but this has happened one too many times.

We got: Pho with different meats and a separate bowl of meatball. The broth was good, a little on the oily side but good. Spring roll: I got it without noodles. I appreciated that the pork was lean and not fatty. It was a good roll, however the peanut sauce tasted like straight thick peanut butter, it needed to be thinner, sweeter and have more of that umami taste. Grilled chicken rice plate: I enjoyed this dish, the chicken was flavorful and the salad and rice paired well together. The young boy and man who I'm assuming is family are very nice. They are welcoming and pleasant. I'm glad this place is closer to us. We live in Morgan Hill and I do not approve of any of the pho places there for their lack of flavor. I will definitely be coming back here.

I live a few minutes' drive from Tea Leaf, but didn't even know it existed until about a year ago…read morewhen I met friends for tea and board games there one morning. I was immediately struck by how light, airy, calm and friendly it was. The staff have never been anything other than pleasant and helpful, the decor is cosy but sunny, and the food and drinks are fantastic. I go there maybe once a week now, usually when I need a change of scenery while I'm writing or researching. The menu has so many great options on and I've never had anything there that wasn't delicious...but my personal favourite is the mint lemon tea, 50% sweet and made with Assam black tea. It's refreshing in the California heat and so much healthier than reaching for another can of soft drink. They also serve boba teas, milk teas and everything else you'd expect from a good Vietnamese tea shop. As for the food, they serve banh mi, spring rolls, rice bowls and so on. They also have my great weakness: banh mi fries. Crispy, freshly cooked fries topped with banh mi picked cucumber and carrot, coriander, chilli peppers and spicy sriracha, optionally with your choice of protein - pork belly, in my case - and despite TRYING not to order it every single time...I order it, every single time. So delicious, and (like all their offerings) in a very generous portion that would be great to share with a friend. I've tried some of the other options such as their shrimp spring rolls, and nothing has ever been anything short of fresh, good value and very tasty. I'm so glad there are places like this in my local community. A slightly hidden gem.

Really good and refreshing boba, relatively quick service and the music is always very relaxing.read more

I guess this review is really about starbucks coffee in general versus this particular location. I drink mostly black teas but I go through cravings for Mocha's and usually make them at home with coffee from Trader Joes. Whenever I drink a mocha from Starbucks it makes me sick. I don't know if it is the stuff they use to make it chocolaty since I would imagine it is highly processed or just the coffee itself. There are several other places that I can go to but once I again I've learned my lesson trying Starbucks. read more

If I could do 0 I would. Not all of the employees are rude but there needs to be better management or something. I ordered a sandwich and bit into it and it was frozen still in the middle. Twice. I had them remake it and it was like that again. Then most people were waiting up to an hour for their drinks. It was just a bad experience and wouldn't come to this one again. read more

They have frozen yogurt, milk teas, ice cream, and seating inside and outside. I was here on a warm Tuesday afternoon around 5:30pm. I found Yogofino using the Yelp App as a search engine. The name caught my attention because it's very close to "Yogofina," a local fro-yo chain in the SF Eastbay. I don't think it's the same chain. Yogofino Yogurt has alot to offer, including a fair price for fro-yo! August 2025- Price Per Ounce: 79 cents. I've been to several Yogurtlands recently, and their prices are all in the 85-89 cent/oz range. Easy Breezy Yogurt is $1+/ oz now. So what about the frozen yogurt here? Well, they have seven (7) Electro Freeze machines that have no center twist (or swirl) valve. The area around the machines was very clean. The young lady working there was busy cleaning the whole time I was there. I tried: Mango, Pineapple, and Chocolate with some jelly toppings. They have large selection of wet, dry, and liquid toppings. Service was nice and friendly. The pineapple fro-yo had a good flavor. Not much icy bite, or chalkiness. The mango had a milk flavor. I especially liked the chocolate. It was super creamy, almost like a mild soft serve. No chalky after taste or icy bite. It was 85*F, so my fro-yo didn't stay frozen very long. But it did have a very refreshing chill. I would return if I'm in the area again. Free parking in shopping center lot. Near the Cardenas Market and Mountain Mikes Pizza.
