This was such a great experience. I loved how it was not crowded and made it feel like a nice family dinner. my son is a huge Godzilla fan so he was very excited. I recommend making a reservation I think this helps with avoiding a wait. There was Godzilla history everywhere making it fun to read and learn new things. It is not noisy at all. The staff is friendly and they are ready to answer any questions. We ordered ramen and it was good nothing too fancy. We had to get the Godzilla mug and the neon green drink was good. read more

Wow, went to Boba Bear to check out the Godzilla pop-up event and was blown away. The Big G's foot smashes through the ceiling upon entry, and the movies are on loop on the TV with destruction raging on the twin projection windows... all while classic Godzilla tunes plays on. Seeing all the posters on the wall for Toho's reign is my dream room. We opted for the Churro, which is beamed from Godzilla's belly right into your soul, as well as drinks in the ceramic Godzilla and Mothra mugs. For $25/$30, absolutely worth picking those up, especially as Godzilla's mug can emit 'smoke' via a separate dry ice compartment in his head. We skipped the sandwich, as it just looked like a Jersey Mike's sub but dyed green, and we weren't up for making our own ramen. Definitely keeping an eye on future events in the space! read more

Came here for the Godzilla pop up event. The decorations were the best part of this experience. However, everything else was mid at best. The service was ehh, our server wasn't very attentive and we had to wait a while to get our food. The worst part of this whole experience was the food. They charged $15 for a cafeteria looking sandwich with some incredibly dry potato chips. The sandwich didn't even have the black bun as advertised. The ramen was $9, and you had to make it yourself once they brought it to you. $9 to make yourself a bowl a ramen that you could make at home for a few bucks is insane. It felt like a scam, but I'm going to add a star for the decorations and theming only. read more

This place specializes in beverages and has a light bites menu. But I came here recently (early 4/2026) specifically for Godzilla immersive pop-up. The service here was great. They walked me through the experience and let me know what was available and about different things you can order, do, and look at. The ambiance? If you are a fan of Godzilla and kaijus, I think you would be pleased. It feels like a lot of thought and time went into the decorations and layout. I liked how the windows made it look like there was a nuclear wasteland outside. You book a reservation online and pay a $10 reservation fee. That fee goes towards your check though so it's not like it's an extra amount. I got there on the later side and I wasn't super hungry so I just wanted to get one of the drinks and a churro to snack on. The churro was a fun Godzilla breath attack theme and the drink came with a mug that you could keep. I chose the Godzilla one which was really cool because they had a whole dog and pony show with dry ice. I looked around and took some pictures and I bought a few things for my nephew because he's a big fan. I've been to the Demon Slayer pop up at their other location and really enjoyed that as well. These are fun to go to and participate in. read more

Swung by the Godzilla pop up & loved it! You reserve it on OpenTable with a $20 deposit. This then gets credited towards your order, but it's to help maintain an accurate reservation count & reduce cancellations. Ordered a couple teas & the churro to get the Godzilla mug. It's my favorite little mug - he's so cute! read more

NOTE: Final Fantasy VII's Seventh Heaven Experience event has been extended till Jan. 25th, 2026, so there's still time to go check it out! Man, what a way to end the year. I wanted to leave a place/location venue that would merit my best review to end the year and it ended up being so! Boba Bear in Koreatown usually hosts month-long events for whichever pop culture phenomenon is big at the moment. This time around, it was Final Fantasy VII's time to shine. Honestly, they went all out. I took so many photos, I had to select just a few, and even still, to fit the 10 pic limits, I had to combine several sets of 4 pics into one collage-like pic. I still don't think my pictures or short videos will do this event justice. 1997's RPG's masterpiece for the PSX was faithfully remastered for modern consoles just back in 2020, and this event brings the iconic Tifa's Seventh Heaven bar into Boba Bear. There are cutouts of almost all of the main characters (and a villain too, haha), except for Vincent, the 2nd floor has a small section with some free games, a la Gold Saucer, the menu is very interesting, and they event turned Sephiroth's iconic Masamune sword into an US$8.oo churro! (a bit steep, but it was worth it, it was delicious). They also sell plushies (buy the Chocobo one, they don't have a markup, it's the same price as if you were to buy them in Square-Enix dot com), Polygon Figures boxes (I got Barret in a Vol. 1 one), fridge magnets, pins, one kitchen apron shaped like a Soldier armor, knitted dolls, etc. etc. I went on Monday, Dec. 29th at 11:30am, after previously having made a reservation (the US$10.oo from the reservation are counted towards the total of your bill when you go pay at the end). There was just one woman being a cashier/server, etc. when I went, and her service was above and beyond, she was handling everything and she had a great disposition and friendly attitude 10/10 for that. It must not be easy to work a shift all by herself but she pulled it off. If you're into Final Fantasy, and consider VII to be in your top 3 entries (what is any Final Fantasy game released after XII, anyways? lol), this is definitely a must-see event. As for food options, there were instant ramen varieties with the toppings, at a bit of a markup, but also, not bad at all. All in all, a great event well worth the drive. 10/10. read more

My group went here after dinner as it was the last day of the FF7 collab and we had a few Final Fantasy fans in the group. The collab decoration was great! TV screens in the interior with scenes from the game, cardboard cutouts of characters signed by the voice actors, and a themed menu. They also had top hits from the game playing, though quiet enough that we could still converse without issue. They have reservations available, but my party of five was seated no problem when we arrived at 7:30pm. Service was fun and friendly and the servers were great. There's a QR code for the menu on the tables for ordering. There were two menus. One for the FF7 collab and their regular menu. We ordered from their regular menu and everything was disappointing. We got two bear cakes which were very cute to look at, but were fairly flavorless and lacking in texture. Their jam fillings were also just alright, like someone put a teaspoon dollop of Smucker's in the middle of them. I got an almond milk tea, which also looked cute as it came in a bear shaped cup. However, the tea itself was gritty like the almond powder wasn't mixed in well, only vaguely milky and couldn't taste the tea itself. The boba pearls were so-so. The theme was great and the staff were nice. From the few items we sampled from their regular menu, I'm glad my party ate dinner elsewhere. We all still enjoyed the atmosphere. read more

Soooo ok. I will give them a 4 for their service. The two people who were working were super busy and were very friendly. The pop up was cool, but a little underwhelming. More of a pop up store. Not very many dishes that were themed. The Churro was great and tea tastes good..... but, the collectors mug did not hold that much liquid. They offer a free refill which is great, but it's not that much to begin with. read more

Final fantasy 7 x Boba Bear collaboration is a must go experience to any FF7 fans. This collab brings the magic of Tifa Lockhart's Bad "7th Heaven." Good luck finding parking because this place is next to Persian restaurant and Korean Grill. Inside is tribute with props and merch of FF7. Reservation is not required but recommended (Jan 26 is the last day btw). Menu are premade drinks with different color materia. Got all 4. there are speciality drinks and each comes with either FF7 Ever Crisis of Sephiroth tumbler. Got to have my man Sephiroth. Also order the masumune churro and chocobo booster cookie. They also have self serve ramen (you choose soup base and upto three toppings) Drinks come in a cute ball with cube lights, indicating the color drink. Cura materia (kiwi and passionfruit lemonade) is the best while the blizzarda materia (blue Thai tea) is bland and not even sweet. Masumune churro is must have for any Sephiroth fan. Package is like his sword with ores-coated churro is the blade and it's so good. Chocobo cookie is nice notch and must try Upstairs is Gold Saucer (tab must be paid before entering). Music is from the actual gold saucer. There is a church, selfies to take and actual entertainment. They have actual Booble Bobble from the 90's and it's free (Sadly one player), they have dart game but no darts to throw but the best one is the Masumune catching game (free btw) Overall, highly recommend on giving this place a try read more

We went on 3/29/2026 night at 18:30 but the did not deduct the reservation fee on a final bills :(. We ordered $55 foods and drinks and paid $40 for reservations online. I called them twice in order to get my refunds back on 3/30/2026. The decorations are nice if you are a Godzilla fan, don't forget to walk upstairs to take pictures ! read more

Boba Bear - Churros ! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I came by for the Godzilla pop up and let me tell you - this event is not worth it whatsoever. We showed up and walked in only to be told to go wait outside for the waitress to come get us. The waitress - who was incredibly sweet and hard working btw - was the only person managing all the tables. And this happened to every party showing up - being told to go back outside, most of the time the doors left open letting in the annoying bright light. You order one of three drinks for $25 in the godzilla ceramic mug, and we did not realize until we got home one of our mugs was all chipped and damaged. We ordered the boba which didn't even come with boba even though the picture showed it does, and the kiwi drink. The kiwi was much better but still underwhelming for such an event like this. We weren't told about any extra things like refills, the claw machine, etc, and I only realized it the next day when I saw videos online. So I feel like my time was a complete waste just sitting there drinking because nobody informed us of the extra activities. The food options were just said too - a bowl of "do it yourself" ramen and a school cafeteria looking sandwich. The decor wasn't much either, the posters were cool but the godzilla foot from the ceiling just looked stupid without any special effects actually making it look like it broke through the roof. read more

Thanks to Instagram and overly positive reviews, we were pretty much catfished into visiting the Godzilla Pop-Up. My nephew is a HUGE Godzilla fan and was really excited to go, so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the food was a letdown from the DIY ramen to the mediocre sandwich. The only real upside is that the RSVP fee is credited toward your meal. Overall, the food quality reminded me of theme park food at Magic Mountain or Knott's: very bland. I did enjoy the churro, though. There is a second floor filled mostly with Godzilla movie posters and a claw machine. The ambiance was just okay, with plenty of hardcore Godzilla fans, but the decor could have been much more creative and immersive. Lastly, while the staff was extremely slow despite serving a limited menu of sandwiches, churros, and ramen, they were genuinely kind and sweet. It made it hard to be upset they clearly tried their best to get to everyone, but the operation was poorly coordinated. With more imagination put into the food and decor, this experience could have been much bette That said, we still enjoyed bonding as a family and catching up while waiting for our food and drinks, which ended up being the highlight of the visit. Overall, I'm giving this experience two stars, mainly because the staff was genuinely sweet, very apologetic, and clearly doing their best in an already busy and poorly coordinated environ read more

Instagram pop up that doesn't deliver on the hype. We said no thanks to the menu items offered.. one is like a black ham sandwich. people had been apparently waiting a long time for food.

The decor was fantastic if you're a Godzilla fan. The drinks were good, but unfortunately, after waiting and waiting for our food, I decided to walk up front to cancel it. To my surprise, I was told that my food had been ready but never taken to our table. It was disappointing because I had been looking forward to this experience with my partner and son, and we had driven for over an hour just to get here. Also, service was extremely poor. I will definitely not be returning. read more

Boba Bear - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We came here for the FFVII pop up and the decor of the place was very cute. They had digital pictures for the windows and character cut outs with a lot of cute merch. However, be warned that there's a long wait even with a reservation, we had to wait 30 minutes to get seated. I think weekdays should be much better. The food was ok, self service ramen is what you'd expect and they include toppings which is nice, but the drinks left a lot to be desired. We really loved both souvenir cups and we ordered a materia drink and the mango drink but I would advise just getting the cups without the drink, they are all really sweet. If you are a huge FFVII fan I would recommend this but just be prepared for the meh food. read more

Boba Bear - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here around 6pm for the FF7 pop-up and stayed for a while -- overall a really fun experience, but definitely not without flaws. The vibe is great, especially if you're a Final Fantasy fan: cute themed decor, solid photo-op areas upstairs, and it genuinely feels like an event rather than just a themed menu. I ordered the Masamune churro, which was honestly great and one of the highlights. My friends got the ramen, and my partner ordered a ginger cocktail (and snagged me the Sphere glass, which was a nice touch). Food and drinks themselves were enjoyable, so no complaints there. Note: if you want the box that comes with the Sphere glass that comes with a limited edition FF7 Ever Crisis collab certificate, it's an extra $5. That said... service was rough. Staff seemed pretty overwhelmed and uncoordinated -- things moved slowly in a way that felt more like incompetence than just being busy. It definitely tested patience, especially during peak hours. One small but very real downside: the bathroom situation. If you're running an event with crowds, running out of toilet paper and sanitary seat covers is kind of unacceptable. Overall, fun concept, cute execution, and worth going once for fans -- but service efficiency and basic upkeep need improvement. I'd still recommend it for the experience, just go in with realistic expectations. read more

Stepping into the Final Fantasy pop-up in Koreatown felt like being transported directly into the game's universe. The immersion started immediately with a digital window that acted as a portal, showing characters wandering through the world as if they were just outside the shop. My friend and I arrived, me in my handmade cosplay, which made posing with the character cutouts & exploring the numerous photo ops even more exciting. While the space was a bit more intimate than I expected, they packed it with detail--from a massive merchandise section to an upstairs gaming loft featuring a stunning lit-up display and digital screens made to look like windows that synchronized a breathtaking fake fireworks show. The attention to detail extended to the menu, where I tried a striking spherical glass drink filled with glowing ice cubes that tasted like a refreshing blend of kiwi and strawberry. For those looking to linger, they offered Korean liquor, snacks, & a cozy instant noodle station with hot water ready to go. Even with its teeny size, it's an absolute must-visit destination for any true Final Fantasy fan looking to see the world come to life! Kupo!!! read more

I had never been to Boba Bear before, but came for their immersive Godzilla experience since I'm a huge fan. I ordered a specialty tea that tasted a lot like Jolly Ranchers, and it came in a fantastic Mothra mug I could take home. I also ordered the cool-looking sandwich, but apparently they're out of the black bun, so it was kinda just a sandwich. There was nothing vegetarian on the menu (including the ramen broth), so I asked them to make the sandwich without the turkey, and the very sweet server said she'd ask them to double the cheese, which was great. The sandwich was tasty, not terribly expensive, and the manager gave me a keychain to apologize for lack of vegetarian options, which was awesome of them to do. The space was COMPLETELY Godzilla'd out, and the upstairs area had a cool photo op spot and a couple games, which made it all feel like it was attached to a theme park in a way. Overall, I'd say if you're a Godzilla fan, or have kids and want to stop in, this is a fun experience, but I don't need to go again. read more

This establishment is the pinnacle of incompetence. If I could give negative stars, I would. We had a 7:45 reservation and were not seated until almost 8:30. That only happened after we spoke up. Not a single employee acknowledged us the entire time. No updates, no apology, nothing. Just terrible service from the start. The "immersive experience" is a joke. It feels cheap, lazy, and thrown together just to charge people. There is nothing immersive about it. And the food is even worse. Instant ramen quality with a self-serve water station. You are paying restaurant prices for something you could make at home for a few dollars. This place is completely disorganized, poorly managed, and all hype with zero substance. Save your time and money and go anywhere else. read more

We attended the Godzilla pop-up event 4/19/26 and it was the most disappointing, distasteful, bootleg knockoff Temu experience ever!!!! First, we arrive 30mins earlier than our reservation to be met with many groups of people awaiting the very well-expected Godzilla experience to find that no one actually knew what they were supposed to do to check in for their reservation. My fiancé spoke with one party who had a 7:45p reservation but had still been waiting at the time of our arrival. While they didn't get called in until close to 8:30p we had not been called in and seated until around 9:15ish for our 8:30p reservation. On top of that, we get in to see a couple knockoff Godzilla figures, a Godzilla movie playing and some music and a few tables. You see a few merchandise items and that's about it. Very low budget. Very underwhelming. We then proceeded to scan the QR code to find a few things on the items, no biggie because we knew there weren't a lot of options but ohh boy, what we did discover was very disappointing and quite insulting. First off, we waited another 15-20mins to be approached at our table to get our order taken to order the cool Godzilla mugs which came with a dry-ice show (def a point there), 4 ramens, and 2 churros (which was by far the best thing there). The ramen is brought to the table to then be told that we must fix it ourselves--but that's not the kicker...THE RAMEN IS BULDAAK!!!! Wow!!! $9 for something we could've just had at home. And they didn't even have the decency to disguise it or anything!!! 2nd, the bathroom was disgusting. The upstairs "model" was terrible and low budget!!!! Just everything was terrible!!! And what makes it even worst is that it is more than obvious that the owner/manager blatantly set this team up to fail miserably. They clearly bit off more than they could chew!!!! Me and my family will NEVER support anything that this company does again because they clearly do not care about their business model or their team because per the reviews, it is clear that this has been a recurring issue and there has been absolutely nothing done to rectify the situation. Ohh, an we discovered that they were double-booking the time slots too. How greedy can one be!? Thank you for coming to my TED TALK read more

We went because my partner loves final fantasy and they have a collab so we went to check it out. Their decor was fun and they have games upstairs.

Boba Bear - Matcha milk tea and banana milk tea - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Slightly upset my phone died because I couldn't take pics of my drinks, but honestly they were too cute not to mention. I got a Too Good To Go bag and received two drinks in the bear cups, which I've been reusing ever since. Since they were a surprise, I called to ask what I got once I was in my car and the staff was super helpful and nice about it. They turned out to be the passion fruit green tea and the house milk tea. Service was quick and smooth once I checked in, no issues there. The passion fruit green tea was really refreshing with what tasted like a hint of lychee, which I loved. But the house milk tea easily stole the show. It had this creamy, slightly nutty flavor that was so good I'd come back just for that. Next time I'm definitely adding boba. I ordered from outside and was messing around with the kiosk, but I noticed there's an indoor seating area that looked really cute and fun. read more

I was informed the this location was converted to Seventh Heaven from FFVII. It's a cute little set up. The first floor was the bar and the second floor was converted to the Golden Saucer. I ordered the Thai tea that was blue and served in a circle bowl in the shape of the materia and tried out their churro. The drink was ok. What made it fun was the light up ice cubes. The churro was also just ok. The service was pretty good. We went early on a weekday and the place was empty for that time which is great. I've heard stories of long waits during peak time. It s small cozy boba place with lots of photo ops if you are a fan of the game. read more

Review is based on their collaboration with Arcane. We came twice since the first time around they didn't have the shimmer vials. Parking both times was atrocious since they do valet parking and we didn't want to pay, so we tried to find residential parking which was basically impossible. Setup was very nice, but drinks were overpriced at around $20 for each flask. Drinks without flask were around $9 served in bear bottles or the ceramic mug if you didn't want it in the vial. We got both the peach apricot tea and watermelon green tea. The watermelon green tea was better in my opinion but both tastes like what you would expect out of these types of experiences. The lights on the shimmer vials stop working after awhile and there's no way to really replace them since they're hot glued to the bottom of the bottle. read more

Happy to give this a 1 star review. And, it's not for the beverages because I never got one. But it's for the customer service. I walk in cause the location is confusing AF. Hostess: Please wait outside Me: I just wanna order a milk tea Hostess: outside at the kiosk. I ordered a milk tea at the kiosk next to the bathroom. I wait 10 minutes for a milk tea. I ask a worker "hi did my order 944 go thru"? Worker, "yes" Several minutes later, Worker: I just saw your order, we ran out of milk tea Me: all good can I just get my money back? Worker: there's nothing I can do you ordered at the kiosk? Me: is there someone that can help me? Worker: no see you ordered at the kiosk Me: I don't want anything here I just want my money back and I wanna dip Worker frustrated with " bad vibes" ( they have a sign that says Good vibes only, no bad vibes. I guess that doesn't pertain to the staff), starts punching away at her tablet. A few minutes goes by; Worker: you have your refund it will show up in a few days. Walks away. Sheesh if I hadn't pushed for it I wouldve had to get some shit I didn't even want read more

Service was quick, decor for the Godzilla event was amazing but drinks and food weren't anything unique.

it's okay if you're craving boba well past 9pm cause everything else in ktown is closed. i will say that the boba is disgustingly sweet, which makes sense because it's a smoker boba place, you know? but DAMN, i smoke too, and even my taste buds aren't all that messed up. the service is amazing, seems chill, and isn't really busy inside everytime i go. i do revommend getting your boba 50% sweetness or less because the 50% tastes exactly like how 100% sweetness boba tastes like at other places. also, so sad they replaced the bears with plastic now!! istg back in like 2022 and before, the glass cups were free, but they charge now. i'm fr like cheap asl, and i used to collect the lil glass cups from here read more

Was craving boba after a lakers game and saw this place had very reviews. They do not lie or disappoint. Much to our surprise we unintentionally walked into a Hope in the city pre concert party (BTS J HOPE PRE PARTY BEFORE HIS TOUR) I mean it was their own event but it was exciting to be in a club like environment at a boba spot that also sells alcohol, hookah and vape pens. This is something. I've never experienced before. I love the service because they have a window for you to order or a self service system. Bonus? I love the bear cups our teas came in. It's what brought us in! Can't wait to go back. read more

Before our trip to Los Angeles, I saw that Boba Bear was having a collab with Arcane until February 28th. My boyfriend and I have been watching Arcane, so this was perfect timing! We ordered the Arcane Shimmer Vial Peach Apricot Tea and Watermelon Green Tea. The drinks were okay. The souvenir vial you get with the shimmer drink is hefty though! It lights up and is glass. I liked the plastic bear container that we also received with the other drink. It was cute. read more

1 star for the cool FF themed event. 1 star for the nice wait staff. The drinks looked cool but tasted absolutely awful. Basically, just sugar water with a little flavor. Instant diabetes for every drink. Minus more stars for the rude Asian guy that kicked people out while we were waiting for our table. We weren't told that we couldn't come inside while we waited for 30 minutes. I went in to get a closer look at the merch to decide what I wanted to buy. Telling us that it was crowded and politely asking us to wait outside is totally fine- but he was super rude and even though I immediately began walking towards the exit, he bumped into me and tried to scoot past me to run to the door. I have a fractured knee and was walking at a decent pace 5 feet away to the door, it was uncalled for to rush and bump me. Additionally, after we got back outside, he slammed the doors shut loudly to the point where others waiting outside verbally said that he had frightened them. Whoever that guy was needs to chill the f out and treat people with some common decency. Even the nice servers don't make up the sourness left by that interaction. We won't be back and suggest everyone skip Boba Bear. read more

Probably have only been here once or twice years ago since it's not very local but definitely had to check out the Arcane popup collab they were doing! Parking is pretty bad, small lot and there was a line of cars when we got there. Decided to park at a structure down the street which was basically $30 since we had dinner out here as well. LA parking is awful. So we walked a few blocks to get here! Made reservations a whole month in advance due to popularity. They have merchandise such as posters from the show, awesome decoration, cute themed mugs and vials. It was a great experience and they were playing music from the show! They had a tv playing season 1 of the show as well. I loved their "Rio's Elixir" which was a Taro Milk Tea and added boba to mine (they have great, nice, and chewy boba pearls). I wanted a vial but they were unfortunately sold out. You can bring your receipt in to get the same price next time but I ended up just ordering through their site to ship to my house since shipping was super cheap. Little did I know, they didn't even BOX my shipment. They slapped a label on the vial bottle box and the box got damaged (see photo). Luckily the bottle itself was undamaged but not happy for collector's sake. Staff were great, there's a punching bag machine in the back to fit the theme of Vi's character. Overall had an awesome experience and the drinks were delicious! Highly recommend the Pow Pow cocktail! Would love to come back in the future and hoping they do more collabs like this. Makes it more worth visiting for the drive and crazy expensive parking. IG: @ammysalamii read more

If I could give this place negative stars, I would. We had a 7:45 reservation for the "Godzilla immersive experience" and weren't seated until 8:30--only after someone in our group threatened to leave. I started writing this review at 8:42 because, at that point, not a single employee had acknowledged our existence. It's now 8:50 and that still hasn't changed. Calling this an "immersive experience that places guests inside the chaos" is accidentally accurate--the chaos is the complete lack of organization, service, or basic hospitality. The "experience" itself? A glorified timeline of movies slapped on the wall and what looks like a cardboard city model you'd expect from a middle school project. And the food? Don't bother. The ramen is buldaak noodles (yes, the ramen that costs less than $5 in store) that you have to pour water over yourself using the one water station in a corner. Honestly, it would have been more immersive to stay home, watch Godzilla on my own TV, and eat a cup of noodles on my couch--at least there, I'd get better service. Save your time, your money, and your patience. This place is all gimmick, no substance, and not even remotely worth the effort. *edit to add 8:55 we left. The only good part of this experience was the ONLY server working the whole restaurant. Girl. If you're seeing this get out of that sinking ship. You deserve so much better than a manager that abandons their team. And to the manager, shame on you you spineless worm, your team is barely surviving and you are nowhere to be found. read more

Most Random boba spot. This is definitely an adult hang out spot. The dining area is closed off and used as a hookah lounge. Have to go down the hallway to place an order and it's hot and humid in the hall way. We finally got our drinks and it's nothing to rave about. The boba is not soft and chewy, the boba cups are super cute. Most likely will not be returning to this place. Can't say much about the service, it's a self serve kiosk, the lady put the drinks on the counter and call our name. By the time we reached to the counter, she's gone. read more

I, personally and IMHO, did not find their drinks very flavorful. Unless you call extra sweet a flavor. There is a note on their menu that says "we make our drinks less sweet", so I left mine as ordered. Just a plain milk tea. I had to ask for it to be remade. They remade the drink for me and were very nice about it and It was less sweet. But not enough tea flavor. My hubby said that his almond milk tea was a bit chalky. I love that it came in a cute bear container but the price was $6.75 and I added a tip. Sorry but I don't think I would come back. Plus side is that if you bring back the bear you get a little discount. I think it is 60¢ off? They had an event going on so it looked nice but it seemed pricey for what it was according to my son. read more

I arrived around 9pm and didn't have a reservation. I asked since they were still taking reservations online that I could just walk in. They said no they were closing but then people with reservations came in and ordered. I asked them again, "couldn't I just book the 930 online?" They seemed less enthused to help as the family of four came in ordering food. They were so unhelpful. I get its closing time, but why don't you close out the reservations then? So people who actually want to be there and buy food, instead of being contained by a reservation system which is flawed because I could have just booked the reservation in person. read more

I came here for the arcane event. I made a reservation on their open table for a weekday night. I hate validated parking so I opted to find space on the street nearby to avoid paying the $3. The day I went, they sold out of the shimmer vials but I had the option to come back anytime to purchase them if they have them in stock by showing my receipt. It is limited to 1 per reserved person. The same goes for their last drop ceramic mug. I ended up getting their themed drink that was essentially a strawberry banana smoothie for $7, served in the last drop mug. The drink was your average smoothie, nothing special. The entire point of coming was for the arcane theme anyways, which was great. They had really nice arcane themed posters and decor. Sadly someone broke Jinx's minigun so we could not get photos while holding it. I did play with the punching machine a bit which was a fun time killer while waiting for drinks. Overall, I had fun. League of Legend was part of my childhood and being able to come to a themed pop up like this was a nice nostalgia trip. I also ended up getting a mug and the quality is really nice. read more
