They have plenty of seating inside. This is one of the few places in the area that has a green grape drink. My favorite is the Iced Muscat Grape Green Tea, which comes with crystal pearls and a milk foam. The drink is a slushee and the foam tastes like cheese foam. I typically sip it first to finish the foam and then use the straw to get to the pearls. They also have fried chicken, ramen, bento boxes, and egg waffles. The fried chicken reminded me of Korean fried chicken and was flavorful and crispy. The egg waffle was crispy on the outside, chewy inside, and they have a lot of flavors.

It was nice to see that it was open with many chairs, tables AND numerous outlets. They even have whiteboards for studying. Unfortunately since it's just the family that works here it's only open 12-7 everyday. On whatever free days I have I'll definitely go here. If I didn't do reviews I definitely would have gate kept it but i'm just so nice ‍ The Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie just hits the spot and fills the craving so easily. That's my favorite drink there! I'm so excited to try their other items as well. When I went I didn't see any food, but hopefully I'll be able to try some on my next visit too!

We left without any british chocolate much to my husband's dismay, but next time we shop there I will arrive with a list prepared for items needed for asian dishes I'd like to make, and we can grab a chocolate bar then!

Overall, this location of Brecotea has standard drinks-- I especially enjoy the fruit tea and milk cap selection. Regardless, I have to take off a star for the boba quality the last time I went.

It was sweet and creamy and the cake topping was smooth and sweet and foamy. They boba were squishy and chewy and you could actually TASTE the brown sugar flavor in them which I loved, bc I'm *picky* about boba. Nothing worse than a flavorless ball of nothing. After dreaming about this drink literally all week, l returned on Sunday afternoon with my partner. I got the same exact drink but it was nasty this time. (A different person was working, which is likely why, but It was still disappointing.) I only finished it bc I paid for it, but it just was not good. The boba were HARD and when you bit into them, you could see the lack of moisture in the middle. My partner got the pineapple passion fruit tea and liked it, aside from the boba being too hard. They have a gorgeous selection of baked goods, so I also tried the french cheesecake. It was...different. Less rich and way less sweet than your average cheesecake. You can really taste the cheese aspect. Not for me. This place is like a 20 minute drive for me, so I doubt I'll ever go out of my way to come here again.
