That's one of the reasons I love Smoking Tiger Bread Factory. Even when it's crowded, there always seem to be enough study spots to find a place to settle in and get work done. The drinks are always fresh and delicious, and the matcha is absolutely chef's kiss! The atmosphere is welcoming, the space is great for studying, and it's become one of my go-to spots when I need a productive study session with a great drink in hand. Highly recommend!

We were looking for afternoon coffee and came across this cafe…read more The menu looked amazing and we could not decide what we wanted to order. So we decided to go with Calamansi cooler and the Ube milk tea with oatmilk for the drink. They were delicious. We also ordered the Leche flan ube cheesecake and it was teally good. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. The decor is pretty. Pretty good space and seating. I think the price is fair as well. We will need to try other drinks and baked goods next time. Actually have to try their coffee or maybe the Milo milk tea. Very impressed with this cafe.

The place is small but cozy and they have a giant couch in the middle for lounging. The price is high compare to other places, with the exception of their daily special tea. Their tea is actually cheap. I love love the jasmine calamonsi tea, so refreshing for $3. The halo halo was overwhelmed with ice cream, need more of other ingredients. The monster oreo shake was delicious but it is not worth it for that price. The ube flan cupcake was just ube cupcake and flan stack on top. It kinds of lacking the cohesiveness. Overall, I would come back just for that tea.

I really appreciated how nice and helpful the workers were. The girl who helped us offered recommendations and let us sample a handful of flavors. Ultimately we decided to get a flight which included 4 flavors of kid sized scoops for $15. They had a "Brewed and Bold" offering as part of their seasonal menu so we decided to get the Black Sesame Cookies and Cream, Thai Tea Buttercrunch, Matchaberry Brownie, and their Hojicha Chip. The ice cream flavors were subtle but so delicious and refreshing. I can't wait to come back and try more of their flavors. Parking can be a bit tough depending on the time of day as it's in a busy plaza shared with other eateries, but thankfully we were able to snag a spot within a few minutes.

I've been holding off on writing this review for a while because I really wanted to give them a…read morechance to improve, but after my recent visit, it's clear things are only getting worse. The ice cream here is honestly horrible. It is aggressively, tooth-achingly sweet--to the point where it feels like you're eating straight corn syrup. If you're looking for actual flavor, look elsewhere; this stuff just tastes like "diabetes in a cup." To make matters worse, the consistency is a mess. It melts way too fast, turning into a sugary soup before you can even get through half of it. I also made the mistake of buying a tub to take home once, only to realize the expiration date was incredibly soon. For the price they charge, you'd expect high-quality ingredients and a decent shelf life, but it just feels cheap and poorly made. Save your money and your health. I won't be coming back. PS. It's a blessing in disguise that they're currently closed because a car ran into their front store.

A simple and early heads-up would have been appreciated instead of a loud "WE ARE CLOSED" at 10:05 PM and passive-aggressive behavior from staff. Like honey, just use your words, 10-15 minutes BEFOREHAND could have saved you a lot of time from clinking and clanking while clean-up. All this energy for what babe? There were still multiple customers inside, and one even sarcastically yelled back "SORRY" in response to how the situation was handled. My friend and I were already cleaning up and heading out. The poor attitude wasn't limited to closing time. Even asking a simple question about a milk tea seemed to be an inconvenience. Customer service felt unfriendly and unwelcoming throughout the visit. I haven't been back in years, and after this experience, I will not be returning to this location. Service: 0/5 TL;DR: Rude closing experience, poor communication from staff, and unfriendly service throughout. Won't be returning.

That deep ceremonial green that looks like it has its life together. Taste hits earthy, a little nutty, with just enough sweetness to remind you it's not chewing on grass for fun!!! No, sir!!! Best part is you get to play matcha DJ, pick your strength and sweetness level. I went bold with strong matcha and just 30% sweetness because I like my caffeine to mean it!!! If you're trying to level up your matcha game, this spot's definitely doing it right!! Check em out!!!

They also have espresso drinks, yuzu, banana topping, hojicha, and non caffeinated drinks. They used to have the best shaved ice too but I didn't see it on the menu this time.

Their drink menu was loaded with delicious and thoughtfully curated options. While I'll never be bored of boba, I have been a little bored of seeing the same 10 drinks at each shop. 7 Miles breaks this mold. Their drinks are quirky and delicious, always offering something new to challenge your cravings. I snagged the watermelon and coconut drink and added a cheese topper and boba. I absolutely love cheese toppers and have no self restraint when I see this option on the menu. The drink was SO tasty. The watermelon coconut mix was awesome too, especially for someone who doesn't love high sweetness levels.

I was down the street at Curry Lounge for dinner and my friend wanted me to have the ultimate cultural experience. He told me to order Meeta Paan. I was under the impression I was having dessert. This was not that. I'm Mexican, this was wild! I took one bite, tried to swallow it and puked. I tried so hard to hold it down. This flavor profile was nuts! I did enjoy everything about What-A-Paan, the man helping me at the counter was watching his soap opera & assembling the Paan, he was very happy and kind, complimented my dimples--he said saffron was the best flavor, I trusted whatever he was doing. I ordered 3 pieces to take home and share with my family So basically we still have 3 pieces left. I know this is very traditional and has medicinal properties--although this was not something I'd likely try again I am very thankful for the experience. Hope you enjoy the photos and video!
