I was a frequent customer during it's previous iteration as Yo&I and as Bubble Cups up until 2 or 3 years ago. Tonight was my first time back in years as I found out through a recent post in Yelp that it was closing. I stopped visiting due to personal reasons but I had to make a visit to try to catch the owner and tell her that the shop will be missed and that I was sorry to see them go. For the last hurrah, I made a large order for the following: Raspberry fruit tea x2 Hokkaido Milk Tea And my all time favorite - the Classic House Special The Raspberry and Guava fruit teas are currently buy one, get one free and all other drinks are buy one, get one half off. For my final parting words, if you are in the area or don't mind coming over this way, please visit them one last time before they close for good on Sunday, Dec 28. They have some amazing promos going as a final gift to customers and you will be supporting a local family that have been running this place. Thank you Bubble Cups for the years of great drinks to make my day a little more brighter. I hope to see you again soon someday!

I ended up going with a mocha boba, but for me it was a tad too sweet! The cafe itself was very cute.. they had a cubby with some board games & such to choose from! It's a perfect little spot if you just wanted to hang out for a little as you're enjoying your boba or the ice cream that they also offer!

Edit: I have never had a smoothie without adding greens, you don't taste them. That isn't the reason for the taste being off. I didn't realize until I left, we ordered to go. I would expect a chocolate smoothie to taste somewhat sweet especially with dates being added but it wasn't. It was really awful but regardless $19 for anything that size is absolutely insane. The owner has a reputation for not being kind and by his responses on other reviews I'm not surprised he tried to blame shift. Do better!

Our Avocado Toast is a unique favorite.

I like coffee and like anyone who has allergies if you ask them if there's a certain ingredients in like their white chocolate, which I was so excited to find out it does not have coconut oil. Yay for those ladies who love their drink drinks, but are allergic. I've actually met lots of people who have that issue. The service is great if you don't know exactly what you want they ask you what you're in the mood for and they break it down and they give you a couple of suggestions. I think the only thing that I have an issue with is due to the fact that it's on Bell you can smell the sewer when the window is open. And I don't think I would go there if I was pregnant because I'd possibly puke before I get through it but I know it's not their fault because of where they're located.

The service was quick. The line was long. I have tried many Black Rock drinks. It's likely that I would get the mango smoothie or the strawberry smoothie or the green apple smoothie again. I might get the iced matcha with strawberry cold foam again. I would get the pumpkin chai flavor again. I would like to try the pumpkin chai against their basic chai at the same time to compare. I also had their chai with vanilla and lavender cold foam in the past, but having had it not the same day, it's hard to really compare. The Oreo Chiller is a blended mocha with oreos. I couldn't taste the Oreo as the coffee flavor was strong. Good for those who like a strong coffee flavor.

I went this morning, around 9am. Every time I got to any Nékter location, there is a lack of…read morecustomer service skills. Especially this location. I walk in to an empty store and go to the pick up counter. I make eye contact with a girl in the back and smile but she just stares at me cold. I see her talk to another girl and she just stares at me too and they keep talking. A third girl appears and does the same until she walks out after 3 minutes. I also saw my order and two others just sitting on the counter, not in the fridge where they usually keep pick-up orders to keep cool. She looks at me and walks AWAY from me to the counter and continues to work on other orders and says, "Hii!?!" Loudly and rudely, while not even looking at me. Not a welcome, not a how are you, not a how can I help you. I said I'm here to pick up my order and she grabs it and just thunks it, rudely on the table with no bag. I ask for a bag nicely and she puts it on the counter and walks off to continue what she was doing. No thank you or have a good day. She barely acknowledged me and all of the girls were just blatantly staring at me through the window. Nobody looks or sounds friendly and I'm treated like a nuisance. Never coming back to this location and don't want to go to Nekter again. I usually don't write reviews but after so many bad experiences with them, I think it's time. $13.50 after a tip is overpriced for a bowl and attitude on the side anyways. Good riddance. P.s. I work in customer service right now so it's even more clear to me about how little effort they put into treating their guests kindly ):
