This review is for the experience I had yesterday during my quick trip to the mall…read more This little, new coffee place was in the old business spot where Teavana used to be for years at the Independence Center. Though it's been a good handful of years since then I still miss Teavana dearly. Giraffe Coffee was a fun experience and Angel, the lovely person working the shop was such a delight. Very sweet and engaging. ^__^ She prepared my small frozen blended coffee, which I had with almond milk & hazelnut syrup. Honestly, the coffee was WAY too sweet for my personal preference, but of course I still had a nice time there. The boost of energy was why I did it! It certainly provided that and a mild tummy ache afterward lol.. Next time I'll have to try one of their teas! My only reason for swinging by the mall as soon as I got off work was to do some product exchanges at another business there, which was successful. Never hurts trying someth'n new and all! Again, next time I'm trying one of their teas. It's still really weird for me knowing Teavana isn't there anymore, and honestly I don't think I'll ever be "used" to it. But I'll forever associate that business spot with them as time passes.

They should update their hours - we drove an awfully far way to get there so it was a bummer to see 3 staff members walking out closing doors saying no more customers. I'm not sure if we will ever find reason to go back there since we were out of place visiting a family member in the area. Seems like a really cute shop - probably a great local spot and unfortunately just a weird fluke experience. The employees were really friendly about it but it was just a bummer. If they want NEW business I think updating hours online would be beneficial.

I'm from out of state and the city I live in is abundant with Teahouse's since we have a huge Asian…read morepopulation. I visited here because they were on of the few Tea houses in the city. On top of that, not many tea houses are open late and this one was. It was kind of in a hard to find location... Even though it's on the street front, the sign isn't very big and it wasn't lit well. I parked in front, but then I realized you're not supposed to. There's actually parking in the back, but the area didn't look super safe, so I just parked really quick and went in for a drink to go. The place was cute and very small. I guess they really love cats because they have cats on the wall, cat stickers, cat logo, cat trinkets for sale. The lady who was there was super helpful and friendly, and she helped me go through the menu, but I stuck to my traditional milk tea with cheese foam. I don't know if people in this little town understand how delicious cheese foam is with milk tea... But if you haven't tried it, please do. The order took a little longer than normal, despite how was the only customer there, but I wasn't in a hurry The drink came in a really cute reasonable cup that I ended up keeping to reuse. I will say that compared to other keys in my local city where I can get very good quality tea. This would be a three on that scale one to five. However, for this smaller town that doesn't have a lot of options, I am giving it a 4. The tea flavor isn't quite as strong as I like it, but perhaps this is more of a Caucasian /American area, they may be catering to the local preference and taste. Overall, the place was cute and clean and the service was really friendly. I would come back and try again again, but maybe a different drink that's a little bit stronger than flavor.

I noticed the staff seemed as if they were still fine tuning but I feel that is sometimes to be expected in the first few weeks of a new open. The food was great actually.

I enjoyed all of them as they were highly flavorful and had great texture. I'm always patient while restaurants work out kinks and you should be too!
