    Mango Black Tea with mango popping boba
    Natalie P.

    5.2 Patio is a great spot for boba runs. I live nearby so after I'm done with soccer, errands, school, etc. I stop by here. The place is small and cute, offering a claw machine, a shelf with fun snacks, and some tables. Their boba is yum! I consistently order the Mango Black Tea with boba and mango popping boba and it always hits. Besides from their boba, their shaved ice, popcorn chicken, and fries are delicious! I recommend coming here if you are close.

    The place is very quiet and calm which is my most favorite thing about this place. The drinks and foods are amazing too. My most favorite foos in this place is the crispy chicken snack. The prices are also very fair. Customer service is top notch with them being patient and recommending me foods/drinks all the time.

    I came here today for a boba, after being curious about this place for quite some time. I saw people coming in and out so I figure it might be good? I ordered a regular size milk tea and my only regret was not getting a large. The tea tasted great with the perfect amount of sweetness and the boba was nice and soft! I'm a bit of a boba snob, so when I say this place is good... I mean it! :)

    Came across this place. A nice hidden gem in La Cresenta, it's in the same plaza as the Vons. I got their matcha green tea snow with boba, crispy chicken medium spice level, and their fried calamari. The flavor on the matcha snow was full matcha flavor and creamy with soft, yet sweet chewy boba. I love the batter they use for their fried munchies. A tempura batter, not too greasy, yet light with a hint of salt. Most places I've gone too they use too much batter and it's overly salty. Plus most places only has fries. I'll definitely be coming back here when I get a chance.

    Was looking for a refreshing drink after a hot day walking around Descanso Gardens. I found 5.2 Patio through Yelp and was excited to give it a try. Their menu was incredible! I love all of the different drink and "add-in" options. They have snow, tea, smoothies, coffee, slushes and more! My favorite thing about this place was that they are able to take down the sweetness of any drink by the percentage of your choosing. I love boba, but so often it's overly sweet. I was so happy that I got to enjoy my favorite Taro flavor while cutting down on the sugar. I gave it 4 stars because we did end up waiting a while for our beverages. They only had one employee working, and our drinks ended up sitting behind the counter out of reach while the person was ringing up other customers. They do have a kitchen that prepares hot food, so the one employee was making the drinks, running orders to the kitchen and ringing people up. Wouldn't recommend going here if you are in any sort of rush. If I am in the area anytime soon, I would stop by here again to try another one of their drinks :)

    Crispy Chicken Snack FOR SIX DOLLARS ?!?!?! there's like 2 bites in there .....

    This is the first time I've ever been disappointed in 5.2 and I have been coming here for years (since I was in middle school). I haven't been back often since I was away at college but the quality and portion sizes have taken a hit since I was last here. Let's start with the good - the boba is still good and the variety of flavors is still one of the reasons I keep coming back. Another reason was for the popcorn chicken but now I'm starting to rethink that part. Now being sold for almost $6 (FOR THE SNACK) the popcorn chicken price has increased AND the size dramatically decreased. You used to get a small brown bag with enough to match the price but now it's this small cup that has maybe 4 or 5 bites. Hate the new packaging too because it condensates when you close the lid so now the chicken is just soggy (unless you order right then and there). Also, I called to pick up an order IN 20 minutes. Which in my head means, make the order closer to pick up time so the customer receives it fresh. Not make it as soon as the customer hangs up and let it sit on the counter until they come in 20 minutes. Which is exactly what happened. All in all, I'm just upset about the quality, price, and quantity of the popcorn chicken. IMO it used to be the best priced thing on the menu, worth the walk or the drive, but now I might have to ever forget my favorite hometown snack because of this experience. Anyway, taro snow and matcha snow never miss order that if you don't know what to get!

    Taro snow and matcha snow. I got the prettiest ones on the menu!

    Delicious boba with tons of choices and a totally friendly staff. When you order 25% sweet it's the perfect blend of flavor and taste. They apologized for not having mini pearls but the regular pearls were fine and didn't clog the straw. They even let you know the local favorites to help you choose. I'm not an expert but this is good boba!

    Not bad. There aren't many boba options around this area, and this place makes it decent, compared to what's available nearby. They have a ton of artificial flavored powdered drinks but they also have a few smoothie drinks made from real fruit, which is my default option in this situation. The squid balls are good. Can't go wrong. Service was super fast. I'd stop by again if in the area. Oh, forgot to mention. They have free WiFi. That's always the best.

    Mango green tea with boba

    The crispy chicken is consistently delicious and the meal portion comes with a lot of food. I wish it came with some sweet & sour sauce, but luckily it travels well so we typically get take out and eat the crispy chicken with our own sauce at home - highly recommend! The tea is pretty good (fruit teas especially) but the boba is just ok - typically a pretty good texture, although this is more inconsistent, but I wish it had a bit more flavor.

Unfortunately, the experience has been consistently disappointing. Walking into a coffee shop should feel welcoming. Instead, most visits feel cold and uncomfortable. There is rarely a hello, welcome, smile, or thank you from the staff. The overall attitude often feels bothered or uninterested, almost like customers are an inconvenience rather than appreciated guests. The coffee itself is decent at times, inconsistent at others, but customer service is what keeps people coming back. I truly hope the owner and management take this feedback seriously and focus on creating a more welcoming environment. A simple greeting, smile, and positive attitude go a long way. There are many coffee shops people can choose from, and feeling appreciated matters just as much as the product itself. I wanted to support this business, but after many visits and the same experience over and over again, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Personally, there was a little too much arugula for my taste, but it was still really good overall. The absolute star of the meal was the spicy chicken sandwich. One of the owners even came up and told us he eats it every day, and after trying it, I completely understand why. The bread was toasted perfectly, the chicken was tender, juicy, and flavorful, and the melted cheese brought everything together. It reminded me of an amazing buffalo chicken sandwich. Easily the best thing we ordered, and honestly, I'd eat that sandwich every day if I could. We also finished with the bird milk cake, which was really tasty and a great dessert to end the meal!

Good luck with your business!

They have some nice seating and tables on the side of their building down that same residential street and they also have umbrellas for shade which is nice. Walked in and what a beautiful cafe! You immediately notice all the musical instruments which makes me think they have live music some times. Ordered at the counter and asked what their "RAF Latte" was and the guy mentioned it was for the customers who wanted them to be more on the sweeter side and less strong so I went for their Horchata latte. Took a few minutes to get my drink but as soon as I saw it, it looked absolutely delish! And it was. Super creamy, still on the sweeter side but the creaminess is what I loved most about it. Still strong enough for my liking so I would definitely come back and get it again! IG: @ammysalamii
