    Mango Swirl
    Josie S.

    We came here for an early Mother's Day post dinner dessert and got Boba for the entire huge family! The boba was pretty delicious. When you walk in you order via a pos. I would have like for some customer service welcome or greeting or someone to ask questions regarding any of the drinks but there was no one in the front. Regardless ... still ordered and it was delicious.

    No regret getting Vietnamese Coffee in this place. Taste is quite legit while the Blended Mango was tasted quite sweet to me, I would recommend to adjust the sweetness for whoever not fan of sweet drink. Decor is minimalist and refreshing. Order is through self-service kiosk however the staff is more than happy to assist if there's any questions. Recommended!!

    Ordered the strawberry matcha and earl grey milk tea. We loved that it was not overly sweet and the tea was fragrant though not too strong. Also the service was great. Also very clean location and everything was customer-friendly. Will highly recommend if ever in the area

    I came here during the week pretty soon after they opened and there was just one person ahead of me. It's a small space with the few tables and chairs, clean and bright. Ordering at the kiosk was straight forward and you can have your receipt texted or emailed to you. I got the Tiger milk tea with oat milk and brown sugar boba. It was delicious. Boba texture and brown sugar flavor were spot on too. Price was 6.49 after tax, which isn't bad and I appreciate that there was no extra charge for oat milk. I would definitely come back!

    8/6/25 Cute little boba shop with delicious drinks & friendly service! (And I covered all the basics with my intro hahaha). It was too hot to go home just yet & Hubby wanted some slushy boba drink. This place is the closest & open until 10 pm-- BONUS! It's the only business open in the little strip mall. There was a kiosk to order & it was very easy to navigate, I ordered & paid in about 3 minutes coz I knew what I wanted (plus a customer was breathing down my neck behind me so I had to hurry). Your receipt is texted to your phone once you enter your digits. In about 5 minutes, my drinks were ready- pretty specific, less sweet n less ice, got it! Perfect! What a sweet treat! Hubby says it's close to the flavor & consistency as Lollicup, his preference. Will likely return.

    Delicious smoothie

    The facility and their kitchen super clean delicious shakes. Definitely recommend to my family and friends. Best spot in town. Come check it out.

    I was in the area looking at some new homes. I yelped to see if there were any boba places to pick up a refreshing drink. Boba kafe popped up and seemed promising. The place is a cute spot, clean, and tables to study. I chatted with the owner and decided to do a pineapple Green tea with boba. The owner was nice and followed up after to see if I liked my drink. The drink was decent and boba was normal tasting. If I lived in the area I would probably stop by for a study session and some boba. The aesthetic of the store is inviting and so is the owner.

    I don't usually come to the Montclair area, but I stopped by to grab some boba for my mom and me. I originally wanted the taro drink, but they were out, so I went with two strawberry pineapple drinks instead. At first sip, I couldn't quite figure out what it tasted like--then it hit me... a Big Stick popsicle! One of my childhood favorites. I really enjoyed it! The shop is a cute little space, and the staff was friendly, which made the visit even better. Glad I stopped by and would come back again if I'm in the area!

    Clean bathroom

    We came into an empty place. Nothing really up on the walls jsut a clean place that smells like boba!!! Our introduction was excellent. We ordered on this screen which was so easy to make the drink we love! Boba was a little soft but overall enjoyed the passion fruit black tea boba! We did zero sweet and boba and lychee so it was still pretty sweet, but good stuff

    Really good. I've been here twice, first time I got the Oreo smoothie, which was delicious and second time I got the Taro Ube smoothie, it's really good as well. To be honest it tastes like fruity pebbles to me. Anyway, very friendly service both times. I like it here, will be back to try the Thai creme smoothie

    Taro Ube Swirl

    The drink was delicious! I ordered the Ube Taro Swirl and it was really sweet and cold. I also ordered a churro mochi donut which was also good, maybe a bit too mucb cinnamon sugar but great otherwise. The environment was clean and simple they have Jenga that you can play with while you wait. And ordering was super easy, definitely recommend this place!

    The Boba Kafe -- absolutely delicious! The drinks are super fresh, the place is clean and cute, and the staff is super friendly. Perfect spot to grab your favorite boba drink! So glad I live close by and for sure I will be coming back again.

    Strawberry pineapple slush
    Alexis C.

    Being pregnant is not easy at all when it comes to eating and nausea so i decided a slushie. This was my first time here and I tried the Strawberry pineapple slush and it is as delicious as it looks! The staff is super friendly with their cutesy pink apron on! Its a small little shop but its very homely and refreshing! 10/10 recommend !

It's not awful, but it tastes frugal. I arrived at Almond Haus Cafe (Claremont) on Sunday (around 12:20PM). Parking is easy. The lot is very big. My immediate impression of the location's interior is "abandoned warehouse." There's cardboard boxes lying about; the lights are dim & gloomy; and the furniture & walls looked old and poorly maintained. There were no customers, other than myself. Staff zipped out from the back when I'd entered. There's no self-service kiosks, so customers order at the counter. Staff is friendly and welcoming. After receiving my drink, Staff vanished into the back for the entire time. The drink took one minute and six seconds. Fast!! As mentioned, the Brown Sugar Milk Tea ($5.50) with Boba (additional 79 cents) is not awful. It's big, cheap, and thirst-quenching. Although the boba lacked any perkiness, I did appreciate its very small sweetness. Concerning the ambiance, it felt sad. Chairs had mysterious black stains, dust & webs gripped the windows' corners, yellow & aged plants lazed about, and lights stayed dimly lit like a haunted house. However, there's utility. Almond Haus Cafe (Claremont) has six electrical outlets. There's also customer internet with password; details on the plastic countertop. And there's a restroom for customers. In addition, the floors and tables are fairly clean. Overall, Almond Haus Cafe (Claremont) feels like a forgotten relic of time. At the very minimum, it's an adequate establishment. If you're searching for affordability and a place to study/work, there's potential. 3.3 out of 5

The entrance is a little hard to spot as it's not like a typical store front, it's more of a hut, with straw walls that you need to identify to go in. The outdoors section is covered by an awning and the indoor tea-sipping area has deep set couch-like chairs. Several events are hosted here like poetry readings, and it's lovely to see the community that shows up here. The selection of tea is very fun to shop through--there are different sections like medicinal to mood-based teas (I've uploaded a few that I found quirky and delightful). You can buy a packet of the tea leaves, or find the flavor you want and then tell the counter who'll brew up a cup for you (hot or cold). My gripe here (and why I removed a star) is that they don't explain what the notes/composition of the tea are, and when I asked the server, he said he didn't know either (which felt odd given how expansive this tea shop is). I recommend parking anywhere in the Claremont village and then walking over, as it's a little hidden and few spaces in the lot adjacent to it.

This was one of the most organized events I've been to. To start, the manager arrived around 8:30am to hand out tickets and ensure that there were no line cutters - even though the store didn't open until 12pm. That's super early considering most events don't hand out tickets until 1 hour or less before the start time. Around 11am, the manager came around and gave us drinks if we won a game. Options were tic tac toe, guess the Sunright drink, or boba trivia. I played and got the white peach oolong milk tea in a can, which was really generous. Shortly after, staff came around to take our orders outside the store so that they could begin prepping and shorten the wait time once we went in to pay. I ordered the special anniversary Upland lemon creamsicle drink and got the fragrant oolong milk tea with sunny jelly as my free drink for being the first 150. I also got to spin the wheel for purchasing the lemon creamsicle and got a white mug. The store is big with ample seating to enjoy your drinks and hang out. Nothing would matter if the drinks aren't good, but Sunright delivers consistent quality, and the lemon creamsicle drink was icy and refreshing on a hot day. It really did taste like a creamsicle. Overall, staff were really efficient and nice, and drinks are always good quality with good variety on the menu.

I have brought my friends who have never tried before and they also liked it! Sunright is one of my favorite spots and I am sad to see some close down, but happy to be able to still visit this one when I'm passing through. The drinks are always generous and filled to the top (even when you say less ice!) When I ask for less sweet, it's just what hits the spot. If you like smoothies, highly recommend the strawberry frostie (they use real strawberries and it is amazing). I also like the mango frostie - it tastes like a dessert and it includes jelly that is jasmine tea flavored! My previous favorite was the panda milk tea as they have 2 different types of boba and is so creamy and delicious. I like to try their new drinks and then end up with new favorites at the time depending on my mood. My brother in law loves the oreo milk tea with boba. The coffee oolong is also essential if you are a fan of coffee. It's a perfect mix for coffee or tea lovers. 100% highly recommend for everyone to try their drinks - their boba is always the perfect texture even if I have it next day. Their mochi waffles are also very addicting but best eaten fresh and right away while they are warm!
