Cute little place to have a quick seat or take away some boba, tea, or snacks. They weren't very…read morebusy when I walked in (around 3:30 on a Sunday) but picked up a bit after. I ordered a strawberry lychee tea with strawberry popping boba (0% sugar) and a vegan bánh mi. The tea was a little floral for the first sip and does include the seeds of the strawberry -- this is a double-edged sword: you know it's fresh, real fruit, but you get little bits in your teeth! By the end of my drink, though, I was in love. It's sweet and fruity and overall very refreshing. The sandwich is a new favorite! It comes with a sriracha packet so you can choose your heat level. It's absolutely packed so don't plan on eating cleanly, but enjoy all the flavors! They meld so well and it's very filling. I paid less than $20 for this meal. I'm on a budget but I would say it was worth the money. I was full, satisfied, and happy with my choice, and I'd say it's comparatively very affordable for the area.

We brought our friends and family to enjoy. But the last time we came, I was really let down. None of the games were turned on and I have toddlers who got very frustrated until I came to figure it out. If you ever have been to a real arcade you will be left down by the cheap knockoffs that are here. Plus the Pac-Man game had a broken joystick. Best parts: they have two great Lactose flavors and they will sell you cones without ice cream in them. It's a nice place to grab and go, but don't waste time sitting inside.

I'll start off the review by saying I'm not the target demographic for this establishment. It seems…read morelargely targeted towards kids, which is fine. I was excited about Sticks and Cones because I had worked at a bubble tea + frozen yogurt for years when I was in high school and college. I was quickly disappointed when I got there. I decided to order a bubble tea / boba, not sure what they actually call it on the menu. (Fun fact: east coasters call it bubble tea, and west coasters call it boba!) I ordered the drink with boba, which is denotes the standard tapioca pearls at all other boba establishments I've been to, but there seemed to be confusion when I didn't specifically specify tapioca pearls, so make sure to be specific. The tapioca pearls were very undercooked. The pearls also didn't seem to be in a sweetener, so they were very plain. What really upset me was when my husband ordered the Thai tea. The person behind the counter did not know how to make it, and when they asked how to make it, the response was, "this doesn't use tea, this uses only powder and water." The powder wasn't very high quality, because when mixed with water, it created this creamy and lack of Thai tea taste. I think this is why that at the place I worked at, we also brewed actual Thai tea from tea leaves to mix with the powder. It also took 15 minutes to make for some reason. It seems that boba is becoming very trendy. It's sad that we are losing out on the authenticity of boba drinks. For the frozen yogurt, I appreciated that there were vegan options. However, what was off-putting was that no one would come around to clean the machines, so you're looking at a melted pile of froyo on the grates of the machines. The counters of the store were in general, not wiped down, even though there were at least a few people behind the counter, some of which weren't actively doing anything. The ice cream is from Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream, which I love. Sadly, they're a bit frugal with the serving size, or it was mostly that the ice cream was in too large of a container maybe? So it appeared like it was a smaller size. As for the arcade games, it's nice that they're not actually coin-operated, but then the downside is that you get kids monopolizing their time on a machine. For a new store, it was pretty sticky because nothing is being wiped down in between. You can bring your sweet treats to the games.
