Menu didn't say. Anyway it was bland, though it has a sauce. A pinch of salt would have benefited the side. Didn't enjoy. Had a taster of the red. Perfect size for me. Innocuous red.

Big Eddie Hazy IPA and mustard and pickle dog! Their house beans are a MUST order!

We ordered: +a slice of banana bread - this was wet and soggy, so not sure how this is even available for sale +a slice of carrot cake - this was extremely dense and decadent, and good for any carrot cake lover +an oatmeal cookie - large and had a nice crisp/chewy texture +a chive scone - super dried out and had absolutely no flavor +a hibiscus drink - super weird beverage; not sure if it was mixed with something, but it was not enjoyable +and, a milk tea - this milk tea was not prepared well; contained some pearls I was curious about their sandwiches and their pizzas, but the latter is only sold as a whole, and not by the slice. All in all, we felt that the items were misses; not worth waiting it out unless you are spending a few days in the area or are a local. Note that there's usually a line, moving along at a slow and steady pace, and they allow only 1 party in at a time. There is no seating inside, as this is strictly carry-out only. Street parking can be found in the area. +oatmeal cookie +evening hours only

We kept it simple, a couple of salads with a cup of chili on the side. Sometimes simple is exactly right. The salads were fresh, crisp, and actually satisfying, not the sad afterthought kind. And the chili? Genuinely delicious. Rich, comforting, and good enough that I took the rest to go so I could upgrade the next morning's hotel breakfast. No regrets there. The space is casual and lively, nothing fancy, but it has a welcoming energy that makes you want to stay a bit. It was busy when we arrived, always a good sign, and the service matched the vibe. Friendly, easygoing, and attentive without hovering. All in, a really nice stop. Fresh food, warm service, and exactly the kind of place you're glad you found after a long stretch on the road.

I ordered the Phoenix King and my partner order the Black Dragon. both were similar teas, but the Black dragon was roasted. the subtle taste differences were magnificent. the lychee jelly I added to mine was sweeter and fresher tasting, more delicious than that of the national chain I mentioned above. the boba came out a perfect consistency and wasn't too hard/dry like some other places we've been to! highly recommend if you're looking for a new boba tea spot!! edit: I've seen some people here take issue with the price point of $6.50. I'm used to paying this price for boba tea outside of 29Palms so this price point didn't phase me. Take what you will with that! It felt worth the price given it was in many ways fresher and better than other places that sell it for $6.50+ !

We were greeted at the front with a very warm and friendly welcome by Janet who also was our server.

Her customer service made our experience there amazing and we would definitely return because of her. I've worked restaurant for many years in management and I can say she checked off many qualities of a great worker. Food was great, we finished every bite.
