He offered Chai Latte, not usually my favorite, but i tried it. Wow, it was fantastic! I know he is picky about the quality of his coffee and tea, but this is like nothing I've tasted before. I'm a fan of Chai now.

They have a good variety of drinks and snacks here, and everything is reasonably priced. You know what I love, though? The guy who works here, he totally gets that there's a very good chance if you're there on a weekday morning, you're headed to work. He's polite enough, but certainly gets you your order right quick.

I first tried this spot during a Cars & Coffee meetup, but all I ordered was a hot oat chai, and it…read morewas delicious. So on my way home from boxing one day, I remembered this place had donuts. Don't judge. I had just finished boxing, so clearly I deserved not only my hot oat chai but also donuts. It's called balance, right?! I grabbed a regular glazed, chocolate glazed, two plain old fashioned, and a dozen donut holes. To my delight, the donuts were delicious! I'm particular about my plain old fashioned and plain buttermilk donuts since they are my absolute favs. Unfortunately, they didn't have buttermilk that day, but the old fashioned absolutely delivered. I love when the edges and all those little nooks are crunchy while the inside stays soft and cake-like, and these fulfilled that criteria perfectly. My husband thoroughly enjoyed both the regular and chocolate glazed, enough that we decided to come back a couple weeks later. This time, somehow an apple fritter jumped into the bag. No idea how that happened. LOL The hubby was extremely happy with that addition, so clearly the apple fritter made the right decision. Great donuts and great coffee/hot chai, but what gives Cafe Tapioca that little something extra are the ladies working here. They're welcoming, friendly, and easy to have a conversation with. It gives the place that warm mom-and-pop feel that I really appreciate. Love supporting these types of spots. And apparently I now have somewhere to conveniently undo whatever I just accomplished at boxing.

I really enjoy their Egg Bahn-Mi. It's my favorite. I can't get enough of it. I love the sweetness…read moreof the pickled vegetables and the creaminess of the egg combined with the mayo. Every bite is hearty and it's truly a "healthy" packed portion sandwich - they do not skimp on ingredients, it's well worth the price and you will be satisfied after you consume it! I've also recently had their Vietnamese coffee which is well worth the sweetness, caffeine and calories. I have also had smoothies and a vanilla latte from time to time. Customer service is always exceptional (even when it's busy!) and the funnest part is they sell LOTTO tickets at the counter or by the machine. It's clean, there's a good variety of drinks, donuts and sandwiches to order for brekkie to lunch or anytime- it's Great spot. I highly recommend this spot.

Their billboards are covered in local businesses and there's plenty of seating in this spacious shop. It was a cold day so I think the patio area was closed.

Any local would be lucky to live near here.

And I appreciated all the various seating areas throughout the inside and outdoors in the patio. I thought I was coming in for a coffee, but once I saw that they Affogato, I had to order it. I had the espresso poured over there Tara's coffee, ice cream, and it was incredibly scrumptious. How cute it was that the Barista's did a self portrait of themselves and posted it. And I want to know where they got their light fixtures as they were stunning. As it was a warm day, we chose to sit out in their garden patio under a tree, which was quite lovely.

Milk Tea Lab is now under new ownership at this location, and having been visiting this spot quite…read moreoften throughout that time I've become more than familiar with the quality and expectations of this place. This was my first time visiting them again since the ownership change so it's been a minute. What I see here now is just depressing, not just because the place was empty, but it's now devoid of anything that felt like a spot someone would want to hangout at. No music, when I got in there was one person waiting for their food and nobody was even at the front counter for minutes before somebody finally came out from the back. Ordering is just through the kiosk now, which isn't a bad thing. The part that was really rough was the reason why I even came here; the boba. I got a regular milk tea which now they only have a single size. I miss the extra large size they used to have, but oh well. The next issue comes with how much the boba actually costs. They may have gotten rid of the extra large cup sizes, but they're still charging the almost the same amount for it in a much smaller cup. What a deal, right? And we get to the actual drink. When the person making the drink after receiving your order finishes within a minute of making it, it's never a good sign. Why is that? Well, they had premade jug of milk tea ready to pour out for your tasting pleasure. When you have a premade jug of milk tea, it's never a good sign. While I've had them at other places that have done this before, and it's ranged from bad to mediocre, the one here at Milk Tea Lab, now, was in a word, rancid. It was incredibly gross with absolutely no redeeming qualities to it. I generally try not to be so harsh, but this was really not it and I couldn't even finish the boba because of how bad the milk tea was. It's sad to see how big of a dropoff this spot has become compared to what it used to be. This isn't like when they first opened where there were only 2-3 boba spots right next to them. Now there's at least a handful of options within a few minutes away, and dozens of spots within a mile or two, and this is what they're pushing out? It's a shame but this Milk Tea Lab which was their starter store is no longer a place I would ever go back to for boba. It's time is now past with this new ownership.
