A special thank you to Olivea, Monica, and Noska, who made my visit even better. They were incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They made me a pistachio frappé exactly the way I wanted it, and it was honestly one of the best I've ever had--rich, creamy, perfectly balanced, and absolutely delicious. It's rare to find a café with both amazing drinks and exceptional customer service, but Shaghf Café definitely delivers on both. If you're looking for a place with a great atmosphere, delicious beverages, and staff who genuinely care about making your experience memorable, I highly recommend stopping by. I'll definitely be coming back!

Rude staff and a very disappointing experience…read more My friend ordered a Lotus frappe, and unfortunately, it was not good at all. It tasted more like crushed cookies than an actual frappe, and she was literally chewing on pieces of ice. Since we've ordered the Lotus frappe here before and it was perfectly fine, we figured this was simply an issue with how the drink was made this time. I politely asked if the drink could be remade as a caramel frappe instead, since we knew that one was good. Instead, we were told, "We can't do that, you would have to pay." I'm sorry, but why would we pay again for a drink that was made poorly the first time? We weren't asking for a free drink just because we changed our minds. We were asking for the original drink to be corrected because it was genuinely not drinkable. What really made the situation worse was being told, "We're not a chain like Starbucks to just remake drinks... this will go to waste." Respectfully, if the concern is that the drink will "go to waste," perhaps the better solution would be to make sure the drink is prepared correctly in the first place. I understand that businesses don't want to waste product, but making a customer pay for another drink after receiving one that was poorly made doesn't exactly feel like great customer service either. I'm not expecting the "customer is always right" treatment, and I'm certainly not trying to be difficult. But when a customer genuinely cannot enjoy what they were served, the reasonable thing would be to offer a solution rather than essentially tell them, "Sorry, pay again." We've had good experiences here before, which is why this was especially disappointing. Hopefully this was just an off day, because the way this was handled left a much worse taste than the frappe did.

We have heard so much hype about this place and wanted to see what it was all about. 730AM Sunday morning, there was no line. We went through the drive through and saw there was no wait, we decided to just stop and go inside to check it out. The outside drive-thru looks very similar to the inside. Or maybe it's the other way around. There was no counter, but instead a little window that you walk up to an order. Very different. The menu looked to be simple, but it's not. In reality, it is a little confusing. There are so many add-ons that you can select from. My family all got coffee drinks...they all LOVED their drinks. I settled for a basic Strawberry Smoothie that was good. Not sure that it lives up to all the hype, but it was clean, the staff were friendly and the drinks were tasty. We will definitely try it again and maybe next time I will be more adventurous with my drink choice.

The lighting is warm with a few plants here and there. The menu font is a bit small, I think they could benefit on having it slightly bigger or lowered a little. I've always been a fan of their chocolate orange mocha, but this time around it really missed the mark for me. Usually it would remind me of the Trader Joe's chocolate orange. We got the Iced 24 or 20 oz, I believe. I asked for the biggest they had. The chocolate tasted very light (reminiscent of a milk chocolate) and thin. I was able to taste the orange notes. The espresso was definitely lost in the drink. I wish the balance had been better, I do like the price of this drink though-- I thought it was quite fair! The girls working were kind and soft spoken. They got the drinks out in a timely manner as well. I'll come back, maybe to try a different flavor since there's multiple on the menu!

Just be sure to order it a few days in advance to give them time to make it, the process is a glass three-tier slow drip system. Best tasting cold brew! Add a little vanilla cold foam to the top to give it a a dash of sweetness.

It was very good. My friend tried the Strawberry Mango Matcha Latte w Lychee jelly and Mango Boba. She enjoyed it very much. Service is friendly and quick! They have a few tables inside and the area behind the counter appeared well kept and clean! I always strive to patronize local places instead of chains!! I strongly recommend Boba lovers to stop by and give Boba Tea Spot a try.

The business is in immaculate condition and very clean, could use some more boba type vibe (lounge spot and or some board games) something to liven the place up at give it that boba shop feel. The service was amazing and the guy who helped me was awesome !! Very helpful and nice! Now let's get to the boba.... Matcha "smoothie"- came with an open lid so I wasn't able to shake up the warm boba at the bottom, shortly after getting home from the Boba Tea Spot I noticed the slush in my drink was completely separated from the flavoring they used which has never happen to me. (Shown in picture) wasn't able to enjoy it any longer. Half the drink was wasted. The tapioca boba was also a little off tasting, almost like a plastic taste. We also ordered the Taro milk tea and that was absolutely delicious aside from the boba taste. It wasn't too sweet so it hit just right! This is a small but yet pretty new spot so I'm hoping this review isn't taken personally but just as a true customers experience! As I stated in the very first sentence, I really want to like this place so I will definitely be coming back to give them another chance in hopes this new place works out its kinks and I can give them 5 stars!! See you soon Boba Tea Spot!!!!
