Wonton soup
jon s.

Food was delicious, tasty and big serving. Service is always great, nice and clean environment. Taro with egg pudding and mango smoothie taste great just on the sweet side.

Thai tea boba
Emy Q.

The drink and spring rolls came out pretty quick. Vibe is pleasant. The cafe is spacious with nice tables for students to study. The spring roll also has very thick cuts of cucumber, so it's extra crunchy. I had the Thai tea boba was delish and overall had a nice time at this cafe.

bbq pork vermicelli
Jeff P.

visited again ordered the bbq pork vermicelli, pad thai, and the summer bbq pork spring rolls the bbq pork vermicelli also included 3 shrimp egg rolls, packed with protein and worth the dish with fish sauce/chili sauce provided with lots of veggies pad thai was my favorite fresh, flavorful, tasty, and packed with protein combination summer bbq pork spring rolls were delicious, large wrapped spring rolls, packed with protein and ordered extra peanut dipping sauce this spring roll alone will make you full

Tealeaf Café in Reno is a fun little spot with really tasty drinks. The inside is a bit strange and quirky, but the drinks make up for it. I'd definitely recommend asking for less than half sweet, otherwise it can be too much. Solid 4 stars! Quick service as well!

My first time eating here. My first thought was pricey...but I'm in the mood for Pad Thai NOW so I ordered Veggie Pad Thai with extra egg and extra bean sprouts. I also ordered it extra sweet and it's still not sweet enough for me. Next time I'll order it made with hoisin sauce to ensure maximum sweetness. As for my thought that it is expensive...turns out, not really. The portion is huge. My bill was under $18 and two people could share this if they are not huge eaters or not starving. For me it will be 4 meals and that makes it less expensive than most frozen meals. It's very delicious. I asked for extra hoisin sauce in a cup to go! All meals come packed to go however they have a few tables so I'm eating a bit fresh before I leave. I like this system. I usually take food home. If you don't need a full meal there are yummy snacks available. Check the full menu! If you find this review useful please VOTE!

Shrimp
Angela P.

Had two BBQ pork banh mi and fried shrimp for lunch. While the sandwich was STUFFED with BBQ pork, I was disappointed that there was no liver pate on neither of our sandwiches. It also did not have the pickled diakon. I will stick to my normal banh mi spot (La Mint). The shrimp appetizer was good though.

Combination Pad Thai
Kirby D.

Our first-time visiting Tealeaf Cafe. This is a Bobba Drink place that serves food. Not an issue, just setting an expectation. The restaurant is clean, airy and inviting. I ordered the Combination Pad Thai. I thought the noodles were cooked well and had a wonderful flavor. Serviced with a plentiful amount of chicken, beef, pork and shrimp, there was no shortage of proteins. My wife ordered the BBQ Pork with Vermicelli. The BBQ pork was overcooked so meat was dry. The vermicelli and vegetables were redeemable, but overall her dish was just short of un-eatable. Really disappointing.

boba tea
Julie L.

I love the format of this casual cafe. When I run errands in the mall area, I typically get hangry and want a delicious snack that is not fast food, but I don't want to commit to a sit-down experience. Tealeaf is casual, clean, friendly, and you can order Al la carte. I usually grab some fresh rolls with peanut sauce. Today, my daughter and I split Shrimp Firecracker rolls and Pad Thai. The firecracker rolls were crunchy and hot, wrapped in crisp romaine lettuce to dip in sweet chile sauce. Pad Thai fresh and Smokey, not too sweet with crunchy bean sprouts and cilantro. The kid wanted boba and we both agreed it wasn't our favorite, but we'll try again before they lose a star. My matcha boba milk tea with zero sweetener added tasted sweet to me..also the boba was too mushy. The kid said her fruit tea was 'gritty'. Boba or not, Tealeaf Cafe is my favorite spot for a heathy, tasty, quality snack spot for a hard days shopping trip.

BBQ Pork vermicelli with extra shrimp
Paige L.

Reviewing this place again. Just ordered BBQ pork vermicelli with extra shrimp and it's HUGE! I also got a Vietnamese coffee with oat milk and Boba. I always enjoy this place and the food and boba drinks are always fantastic. I ordered this over the phone today and the guy didn't tell me it was extra for the extra shrimp (I figured it would be but he didn't tell me how much) as well as extra for oat milk. Also, they give you "egg rolls" with the vermicelli that have shrimp in them! So, next time I will not order extra shrimp with this vermicelli. Overall, still happy with my purchases.

Chicken chow mein
Jennifer K.

The service was great which sucks because the food wasn't. The man up front was very nice! We ordered the chow mein and it was not good. It tastes as there was no sauce and the noddles were a bit tough. There were bean sprouts then noodles. Also the chow mein did not match the picture on the restaurant whatsoever. The boba was pretty good though.

Vietnamese sandwich and horchata with boba.
Teuila G.

The last visit was for a pick up order to-go for dinner. I came in and ordered their homeade wonton soup special, egg fried rice, a Vietnamese sandwich with beef and a cookie dough poppable waffle ice cream and an horchata. Everything was so good and the egg fried rice was something else! It's my new favorite! I'll be in sooner or later for that frice alone. I'm so glad I heard about this place. Great service and I love how clean everything is in there.

Tofu pad Thai
Sarah J.

Wow really good pad Thai! I got mine with tofu. Kinda was hoping for the puffy fried tofu, but the regular fried tofu was good! Flavorful and delicious! Hidden gem for me for sure

I had to have their steak and eggs. My kids ordered pancakes and eggs, my sister ordered their stuffed french toast. Everything was cooked perfectly and the smell of pancakes were amazing that I caved and had more than two bites; every bite was heavenly. I can't wait to come back with the rest of our family. This was the best breakfast I've had in awhile. Thank you Miguel for your service and the rest of the staff for from getting us served so quickly after we were seated.

So strong that a headache kicked in immediately and only drank 1/4 of the cup. Also got a matcha cloud which consist of coconut water and a creamy matcha foam. First sip, sweet and creamy. Barely tasted the matcha. For pastries we got the chocolate croissant, pain suisse and a Kouign Amann. The Kouign amann was different, it was in a shape of a bar and had multiple flaky layers. Tasted like a palmier cookie. Everything was delicious. The lines can be long and we were told if you just want drinks, walk next door to Perenn Grocery and they can make the drinks quickly to avoid the lines. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.

Immediately loved the vibe; colorful, mural filled space with many seating options, a lunch counter and an outdoor patio area. Super chill, friendly staff serving an eclectic clientele. I'd give it five stars if they were a bit more on point with the Cuban end of things. My wife and I are Anglos, but we're both Miami natives, so we're kind of purists when it comes to our Cuban stuff. This was definitely more "Latin inspired." We were looking forward to traditional pastelitos, but found they had more Mexican sweets and a guava and cheese brioche, which was delicious, but not authentic. Our Cuban sandwich had no pork and the wrong bread (and came with tortilla chips?), but the sandwich itself was quite tasty. And our cafe cubano was a nice coffee, but a bit thin and had only the amount of sugar a sane person would add, which is about a third of what would be in the real deal. So if you want authentic Cuban, this isn't really it. But if you're looking for good coffee and food served by cool people in a warm, funky environment, this place rocks.

In almost every other instance, I would probably visit a different Hub location or another coffee shop.
