    The first thing I thought when I went inside this boba tea shop is how spotless it is! Lol. They have a polished interior with plenty of tables and chairs for small or big parties. They have some games that I guess people can use if they wanted to hang out at this spot. They have a good number of options for drinks - both bottled and fresh-made drinks- along with pastries, snacks, sweets and entree foods that include rice bowls and ramens. When I dropped by, I only wanted a fruit tea, so I ordered what the craving needed! I ordered a pineapple fruit tea. It was delicious, and I enjoyed the slice of pineapple after I was finished with the tea. I ordered my drink from the kiosk, so I didn't really have much interaction with their staff. I didn't wait too long for my order, but they also didn't have that many people in there at the time. Still overall, I was very satisfied with my experience.

    It was very clean and quiet when we went. Since it was so hot out, we both opted for the fruit teas. I got mine with mango popping boba and my sister got a different topping. The mango boba went very well with the passionfruit tea. The cups they use are pretty thick and feel sturdy. Our drinks came out shortly after we ordered and the people working were friendly and helpful in finding a good pairing for tea and topping.

    Love this location! The interior is bright and welcoming. Love the addition of the games for guests to play. Perfect place to study, or meet with friends. The drinks are phenomenal-highly recommend the grape tea. The Korean corn dogs were a hit with the kids as well. Impeccable customer service as well! We will most certainly be back!

    Cute spot with many choices of Boba tea drinks.  You can customize the sugar level and ice % which it's nice.

    Great ambiance! Loving the whale motif and great selection of teas! I know the kids will be congregating here for study sesh and refreshments! Convenient location and seating is plentiful for now...

    Very cute spot to grab some boba tea with your friends! They have a selection of board games to play while you dine in. Love that they have kiosks to quickly put in yourorder, but also you have the option to order at the register if you prefer. The staff are friendly and professional, and the cafe is clean! They also have crepe cakes, korean corn dogs, mochi donuts, and French macarons! I'll be coming back next time with my daughter to try out their other desserts :)

The service was amazing, we were told about the menu, the history of the table we were sat at, even how they clean it with water and vinegar to keep healthy. The thrifting that took place to make all the pieces look nice in the space. Now to the food, I had the tomato toast as my entree, it was simply the best, freshest thing I've ever tasted. I couldn't believe my mouth. The tomatoes tasted so fresh and the sourdough bread was amazing. We were told all the food is locally sourced down to the bread from across the street. The kids macaroni and the kids Ao Burger was very flavorful. Boyfriend had the Ao burger and he stated it was delicious. I would highly recommend! I believe the server we had was Jazmine, she was very nice and was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, the vibes and was on top of drinks and made our first experience there a great one! Thank you!

On the weekend I'd recommend getting a reservation, although their bar area is first come first serve if you're feeling more spontaneous. The veggie - forward dishes are delicious and the strawberry gazpacho was unique and tasty! Also highly recommend getting a biscuit (or the biscuit board)
