I selected $1 tip but it kept auto adjusting and ended up tipping 15% on the actual checkout page despite me adjusting multiple times. Not a huge deal but wouldn't make me inclined to order online on NovaTab. I got the Vietnamese White Coffee and it was pretty good. It was quite sweet but meant to drink slowly as the ice melts I assume. My husband got the Saigon Coffee and not even joking, he finished it in 2 sips. There wasn't even a chance to let the ice melt and to sip slowly as there was barely any liquid. I ordered it with light ice yet you can see it's filled with ice and there's even a gap so the drink isn't filled all the way. Overall, this spot has so much potential but not a good first experience. Given there's a lot of great local coffee shops, I won't be returning. Seems like other people have had similar experiences regarding the ice and not filled drinks so hopefully they take the feedback into consideration given their drink costs aren't cheap.

They no longer allow customers to use the bathroom or the wifi, and the ratio of boba in my drink was way too little. Normally I could overlook a one time boba ratio issue but all of these issues together make it seem like they're being deliberately stingy. Guess it's time to find a new favorite place. Edit: They've replied saying the bathroom is temporarily out of order but there was a very permanent looking plaque that said the bathroom was for employees only + when I asked the staff if I could use the bathroom they did not say it was out of order - they said it was employee only and that it was a recent change.

We loved how it was open late, had drink and dessert options, and had plenty of space for people to hang out. The place was brightly lit, had plenty of seating, and the vibe definitely encouraged socializing as the place had music and large groups talking. There was a variety of seating options and what I'm assuming was little coat racks for guests to bring to the side of their table to place bags or coats. There was even a little bookcase with different board games, both family-friendly and not, ready for use. The bathroom was tucked away and had air freshener as well (no explanation needed). After ordering, workers will bring your food and drinks to your table with a table marker. Everything was beautifully presented. We ordered hot chocolate which wasn't on the menu, but it was very hot and delicious, and worth it for $5 for a large. Staff was friendly and quick, especially when they noticed we hadn't received our drinks with our desserts, and in giving us to-go containers. The cheesecake was soooo good! They even had a little menu board displaying staff favorites. I got a slice of the oreo cheesecake and a slice of the biscoff cheesecake, which I ate about half of each before taking home. In my opinion it was definitely worth the price, which was about $10 or so each. Flavorful, well presented, and filling! Would love to come back if I'm in the area! Do be careful, as parking could get a bit tight here if busy!

They didn't interrupt or make it feel awkward, which I really appreciated. Just genuinely kind and considerate people. The ambiance was quiet and nice. Simple experience, but done right. I'd definitely come back.

It's super cozy but still feels modern, definitely somewhere you can hang out for a while. I do want to note, on some tables, you cannot have a lap top all day on the weekends and after 4PM on weekdays (probably prevents people from staying for hours on end on busier days). I got the iced Qamaria latte (extra sweet) and my cousin got an iced caramel macchiato, and both were really good! Mine was smooth and very fragrant (cardamom notes mostly), which I appreciated, and the macchiato had a nice balance too. Both 5/5 We also tried the rose milk cake. It had a really light rose flavor and wasn't overly sweet, which made it easy to finish (we almost wanted another one). They had other flavors too like Pistachio, Saffron, Biscoff, etc. and some other pastries. Overall everything just hits, drinks, desserts, atmosphere. Would definitely come back again!

The workers (I didn't catch their names but it was a young woman and man) were so incredibly sweet with customizations and explaining different drinks since they have an extensive menu. Their drinks run a bit sweet even though I usually get 100% sweet at all the other boba shops so if you're similar, I recommend at least reducing to 80%. They're currently running a BOGO 50% M-W for the first 50 customers. I'm not sure how long it'll last, but it's definitely a great deal and I'll try to visit as often as I can. There are a few more boba shops opening on this strip, but Tea Top is a great location that you should try if you haven't.

Final Thoughts: 2.00/5.00…read more After dinner, my friend and I went to get boba at the shop a few doors down. Perhaps we should have chosen somewhere else. My friend said that his coworkers will go here sometimes and they seem to like it. To each their own. I have personally had better, but I'll try anything once. Overall, will be a 2 star for me today. Drinks: Matcha Latte: 1.5/5 Very interesting how this place has fairly high marks and reviews. Maybe because their other drinks are better? I chose this drink today because I've very much gotten into matcha. This drink was not for me though. First look gave me that sense too. Lovely layering, but it was when it was mixed did I really see it. My one note is the amount of milk that is added to this drink. When it comes to matcha drinks, I find that less is more with the base. This drink just had so much milk and ice at the bottom and it completely dilutes the matcha. Had this matcha been in a little less milk, it may have been better. This also dulls out the color of it and makes the drink itself unappealing when it's mixed. This drink is super grainy at the bottom and I tried to mix it more, but that really didn't help. Sweetness was alright. Again, flavor of it was just the milk, so I can't say too much of the matcha since it drowned out. Grapefruit Green Tea with Crushed Ice: 3.0/5 This was my friend's drink and I tried it for my review purposes. This was the better option of the two. The grapefruit and tea drink itself was very refreshing. Sweetness was good. Something about the crushed ice made it better. I honestly don't think this drink would be the same with the regular cubed large ice. The crushed ice was also mixed in with the grapefruit pulp at the top too. I like that addition of the grapefruit because of it's natural flavor and that texture from it. Grapefruit can be slightly bitter, but I actually like it that subtle bitterness with the sweetness and tartness in it. The green tea is a good option to have with think drink because it's very light and doesn't overpower the remainder of the drink. Sweetness was good for me. Definitely more of a passing drink than the drink option that I chose today. Menu: Good enough variety Again, looks to be your standard boba shop menu. There are a fair amount of items on their menu for you to choose from though. Perhaps their fruit teas would have been the better option for me here. I thought my friend's drink was really refreshing and appropriate for the weather at the time. --------- Quality: So-so The matcha really doesn't look like my ceremonial grade matcha powder. Slightly oxidized and dulled out green color. This might be because it looked completely diluted, but maybe not. What gets me was how grainy it was too. Now, looking at my friend's drink, I liked the grapefruit pulp and the use of the natural fruit inside the drink. So, will depend on what you get and your preferences. Price: Average Truly your average Bay Area prices for these drinks and what they are. The price will range from $5 to $8, so really within that standard boba drink price here. Service: Friendly They greeted us when we walked into the shop and they were also really quick to make the drink. I noticed the person making the drink come to the front too to see what we would order and he started making it right after we paid for the drinks. Loving the quick service. There wasn't many groups ahead of us, so he was able to do this. I'm sure they try their best to keep up and make it quickly to order though, which I appreciate. Ambiance: Standard boba shop The interior is giving your very standard boba shop and smell. There are a few tables on the side and the counter on the other side. I think this would be a nice studying stop or charting spot because it seems very peaceful. Location/Parking: Long Plaza; Optimal Parking Spaces This area is on Cedar Blvd. The plaza itself is quite long and made up of sections of buildings. All of it seems to be connected though, so there are parking spaces. Doesn't seem like it was super super saturated of an area during the time, so my friend and I were able to park close by. I really don't see parking being too much of an issue though.
