We get boba all over the place. Mainly in Berkeley, where there are a plethora of boba shops. We…read moredecided to get boba on the way back from a hike at Briones, and this one looked good. They offer a wide selection of drinks, from classics like brown sugar milk boba, to fruity flavors. It's true that if you ask for light ice, you still get a whole bunch of ice. The regular sweetness is pretty sweet, so you probably want to choose a less sweet option (there are 3 lower sugar choices). Staff are there to produce the product, not to be friendly, it seems. One big surprise: they offer a few things to eat, among which is a very good bubble waffle. I've tried many of these throughout the Bay area, and none have been any good, often bad texture or taste. I've specifically gone to highly recommended bubble waffle specialty vendors in HK, which are definitely good, and those are my reference. The one from here is quite good, and I would return here just to get that, with boba drinks as a bonus.

The employees were busy and let me know I could place my order on the kiosk. They have a beautiful selfie wall, and really cute decor. The menu looks great, I will gladly come by and order a drink here again. The food smelled great, it was a little loud, and the handheld gaming systems on the tables were nkt charged.

Working with Bekah was a total delight from start to finish. She was great about collaborating on the design and her attention to detail is flawless. I appreciated her accommodations for our daughter's food allergies (egg, cashew, and pistachio). She kept us updated about the time frame and I appreciated that she delivered to our house. We got nothing but rave reviews from our guests. I will definitely hire Bekah again!

I was just treated horribly at this restaurant this morning. I had a dermatology appointment nearby…read moreso I stopped here for some breakfast. The older Asian woman with the puffy surgery face took my order. Every time I ordered something that cost extra she said "thats's extra" after the third time she said "that's extra" I politely stopped her and smiled and I said "I know. You don't have to keep saying that." She paused and didn't say it again. She took my order. I asked for green tea. Then i realized I wanted it to go instead so I asked for a Styrofoam to go cup. The older woman with the dirty apron who cleans tables said okay. As she brought me the cup she dropped the lid on the floor in front of me. Picked it up and handed to me with a smile on her face. I know, I should of left but..... I ordered a breakfast scramble with breakfast sausage, 1 egg and 2 egg whites with avocado and a side of sour cream. I also ordered fresh squeezed orange juice and a side of fruit. And 1/2 Belgian waffle. What I received instead of a breakfast was horribly scrambled eggs with unmelted cheese old avocado and no breakfast sausage. When I told Ms. puff about the mistake she realized she made the mistake when taking my order. The hash browns looked good so I opted for a side of breakfast sausage instead. I tried to eat the food I order, but there was absolutely no flavor. None. I don't even use pepper. I tried it today tho lol. Nothing helped them eggs. And to make matters worse the breakfast sausage that was brought to me was dangerously undercooked. I was so mad I was seething with anger. Only thing removed from the bill was the breakfast sausage even though I spilled my orange juice by accident.
