Iced Vietnamese coffee
Rovingaile P.

The server was nice, but the iced Vietnamese coffee that I got didn't taste like traditional Vietnamese coffee. Something about the beans or roast used was quite different. I appreciate being able to adjust the sweetness though!

I really really wanted to like this place but unfortunately I only have sad things to say about their boba drinks. Their taro milk tea was clearly made from artificial mixes; taro flavors were not authentic at all. Their boba was not only undercooked so it was hard in the middle, but also flavorless (no sweetness or even the tapioca taste). My sip of my friend's classic milk tea gave me a similar experience. Watered down milk tea that neither had milk nor tea flavors unfortunately :( I do appreciate how they have alternative milk options but other than that, it was just not a good experience. Gave it an extra star because they have a cute decor and Asian snacks, plus the servers were nice and I wanted to support API restaurants. Might try their snacks later on, but definitely not their boba :/

Very cute little cafe. I got the Vietnamese coffee with boba. Was not overly sweet which was perfect! The service was pretty quick. The bbq pork bahn mi was amazing!!!!!! I will be back.

Super cute! We went on a Saturday morning around Noon. It was around the corner from our hotel. The iced coffee with strawberry milk and the peanut butter banana smoothie with almond milk were so good! It did take about 15 minutes to get our breakfast sandwiches. It was fairly busy, maybe 10 people inside and 2 working. Other than the wait, the sandwiches we got were really good! Bacon egg and cheese on a baguette and chicken egg and cheese on a croissant. They also had an assortment of food, snacks and clothing. Staff was very kind. 4 doors down from Bae Bae's kitchen.

Adorable little shop. Seriously, I'd come in just to stare at the decor. They have these whimsical umbrella ceiling displays that are so charming. They also have a wall with shelves of Asian snacks including chips, ramen, and candy. I didn't try their actual beverages so I can't really attest to that but their veggie banh mi sandwich kinda sucked tbh so that's why I knocked off a point. It was not authentic at all, doesn't even look anything like a banh mi. I'll still come back to grab a coffee next time though.

Super cute cafe downtown! Loved the decor and funky furniture. Checking out at the cashier kiosk was super easy and quick. I ordered a mango bubble tea with boba (~$5). Next stop: Bae Bae's Kitchen!!

Came in today to try the boba and was not disappointed! More of a to-go place as there isn't very much seating, but that's okay. Ambiance is fun, decorations are interesting, service was fast.

Taro milk tea with tapioca
Fabiola R.

If you want to enjoy some delicious bubble tea for an affordable price in a relaxed and well decorated space, this is the place for you! Located in the downtown area of Pittsburgh, this cafe has a wide variety of hot and cold teas. I highly recommend the taro milk tea with tapioca!

Decor is unique vibe

The ambiance is peaceful amidst a bustling city. There is seating at front of restaurant that has an open window to the street where you can people watch. It was close to our hotel so was our go to spot while we were in town for a volleyball tournament. Food is made to order so it's fresh, not warming under a light before you get it. Menu is viewed by scanning a QR code. They also have cute Asian food finds as well as a great ramen assortment. Reasonably priced.

Already patrons of their main location several times over finally decided to check out this more brunchy/small bites spot. Have tried the taro, Thai tea, and smoothies. Would say the taro would be one of the best. The Thai tea tends to be milked down. The smoothies are your standard good. Highly recommend trying the scallion pancakes. We had the Vietnamese lemongrass chicken and the pork belly. Great portion of meat & veggie filling, and fantastic for on-the-go. Great balance of savory and sweet paired with flaky flatbread. Good quick spot to go to for cafe/lighter fare.

Thai coffee with boba
Natalie H.

Following the standard set by Bae Bae's restaurant, this cafe is adorably decorated and offers a great dining experience. The drinks are unique and it's amazing to have a boba spot downtown! Menu is pretty expensive, but comparable to the other specialty coffee and boba shops. Online ordering is very easy. I do wish that they were open earlier in the day. It's nice to have this spot for lunch or an afternoon coffee break, but I would love to be able to stop by before work in the mornings.

We were incredibly excited to hear that the long awaited Bae Baes Cafe is finally open! We promptly rushed over in the freezing cold a little before lunch go beat the potential crowd that would be showing up. Upon arrival, it's hard not to spend more than a few minutes looking around at the unique interior that pulls themes from Alice and Wonderland. The setup is very interesting - there's a single tablet that you place your order your order on with all the customizations available, pay, and then wait for your food/drinks. Great for the especially introverted like me! I opted for a chicken bahn mi and a Thai iced tea with boba, ordered to go. After 5-10 minutes, our food was handed to us and we were on our way. The Thai ice tea was amazing, $4 for a large cup of Thai iced tea in downtown?! Yes please! The boba were perfect as well and a tiny bit smaller in size than most other boba shops, but they definitely loaded up the drinks with boba! The Chicken Bahn Mi was great as well! The sauces inside were delicious, plentiful pickled veggies, and very fresh ingredients! Would love if the bread was slightly crispier on the outside but overall incredibly delicious. So great having a bahn mi place downtown! Suggestions: - Would love to see an online version of the Cafe menu available along with any daily specials (I'm sure this is in the works) - When ordering to-go Bahn Mi's, it would be nice if the entire sandwich was wrapped up in the foil rather than leaving one end open. We had to carry our sandwiches upright and that end was noticeably colder than the rest of the sandwich that was wrapped up! - Maybe some more general descriptions of some items would make ordering a little easier. For example one of the milk options I saw for drinks was "Bae's Blend" but was unsure what that actually was, and no one was near the ordering tablet for me to ask. - Online ordering would be a huge plus as well! Absolutely can't wait to come back time and time again!!

Another "places you might like" suggestion that totally hit the mark…read more The interior of the space is extremely bright and looks and feels clean. There is a large menu on the wall, but they also have print menus as well. You can select from re-designed bowls or create your own. They also have a variety of bubble tea options. Basically the flavor combinations are endless! I ended up ordering strawberry milk tea with blueberry boba for my kids and they said that it was one of the best bobas that they've had. I ordered the spicy tuna poke bowl. They asked if I wanted it as is or if I needed any customizations which I thought was a nice touch. I kept it as is and really loved it. It was a perfect combination of flavors and every bite was enjoyable. As much as I'd love to try the other flavors or even create my own, why mess with perfection. I'll definitely order it again.

Decided to try their Crème Brûlée Milk Tea with Tapioca Boba since I haven't had one in about 2 years and I'm glad I did! The ones I've had in the past did not actually get torched on top, but this made the drink. It had that gourmand/burnt smell and it was just scrumptious. I also want to give a round of applause for their tapioca boba! So many places I've went to have either had it undercooked where it's still semi-hard inside or overcooked to the point where you get a sack of balls all stuck together at the bottom of your drink that don't go up the straw, & nobody wants to suck that hard. These were perfectly chewy! I got the Peach Green Tea w/ Blueberry Boba for somebody else and they also highly enjoyed it! Service was quick, I think it probably took 2 minutes to get both drinks out to me & off i went

When I came to Pitt, it became routine that I grabbed a bubble tea once a week before class or as a treat on the weekends. I am always sure to stop in and grab my favorite drink if I am in the area. Not only are the workers super friendly, but the drinks are delicious and consistently good. I love the bright interior of the shop and that there is inside seating, so you can enjoy your drink inside (especially during the colder months in PA). My go-to order is a black iced tea lemonade with strawberry flavor and lychee popping boba, but there are so many flavor options that you can really mix it up based on your personal preference. Its location on Forbes Ave makes it fairly easy to get to, especially if you are a student living on Pitt's campus. Do yourself a favor and grab a bubble tea if you are ever in the area!

The inside is small with not a ton of seating so keep that in mind for big groups. There's a table for 8, four chairs next to the window with a narrow table, and a long bench to sit at. We ordered our boba and pearls were really soft and chewy. My friend's mango slushie was really refreshing and I liked my taro boba.

Menu offerings were so vast, it took me a while to read through everything because it all sounded so good! They have a couple of rotating specials and different grades of matcha depending on caffeine levels and a weekly rotation of their soft serve. In addition to matcha lattes, they have shaved ice, soft serve floats, espresso + matcha combos, refreshers, and combos I never thought of but wanted to try. I love a yuzu drink so I tried their yuzu cool, a yuzu blended ice drink topped with their grade 1 matcha. It was amazing. The matcha quality was fantastic and you could really taste the difference. My friend tried one of spring menu offerings, a peach based latte and loved it. There's very limited seating inside so be aware. Street parking outside. I can't wait to return!!
