    Thai tea with boba, taro with boba, strawberry with boba
    Renae C.

    Went to the "soft opening" of this cute little spot, and it was wonderful! Tried the delicious "Turbacado" club panini, gigantic portion, fresh crisp ingredients, and the homemade sauce, sriracha ranch- chefs kiss! We also tried 3 different boba teas, Thai tea, taro, and strawberry all with boba and they were perfection. The boba was so fresh Last but not least - The owners are so welcoming, and it feels like a special place you want to be a regular in. We visited before they were open, the invited us in to look around and chat about the place, and we're counting down the days until they opened...we were not disappointed, all around amazing! Come support this local business...so much deliciousness packed into this spot...with boba tea, gelato, paninis and more!

    If you like checking out the newest spots in town, get over here and try Bobalou! They have some deliciousness hidden in their amazing spot! The Thai Tea was awesome...I would have loved to have grabbed a second one had I known how good it was. The Panini was AMAZING. My favorite sandwich I've had in a very long time. They had a sausage on a stick with a waffle coating...it was definitely great...side note - ask them to make the waffle crispy! Trust me, it's fire this way. You can tip me for this advice. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They were excited to help me figure out what I wanted, and they were definitely proud of their work after I told them how amazing everything tasted. They are in a small shop off of a main road, so parking may be a challenge, but you will absolutely want to come try them out sooner than later. 5 visit.

    The brown sugar milk tea is amazing and the staff is so friendly. I highly recommend visiting Bobalou.

    Our first time here ! We felt super welcomed and staff were ecstatically friendly. My husband tried almost all of the gelatos but I personally fell in love with the "Torta de Lemon". Boba tea was great as well super refreshing and tasty. We appreciate the hospitality and would definitely recommend this small business :) ! Thankyou so much ! We shall be back

    Blt - love it with the loco or the guanjillo or even the red pepper mayo! Pictured is the guanjillo sauce

    Amazing sandwiches here! The husband and wife that own the shop are so welcoming, kind, patient, and friendly. I personally love the turbacado and blt here, but they also have soups, yummy gelato, and boba drinks (of which there's a happy hour for during the weekdays, 2-5!) Please support this pleasant and truly nostalgic and awesome small business

    We stopped and had a treat at BobaLou last night. Rhonda and Lou, the owners, are super sweet. They offer a variety of fruit drinks, milk teas, slushies, paninis, bubble waffles, and gelato. Go see them. 1054 W Magnolia

    Me and my family came in looking for boba tea and left with an experience! The gelato was soooo dang good! I recommend this place to anyone looking for great treats and even better eats with their paninis and club sandwiches! This is the gem of magnolia street for sure!

    Limoncello gelato

    The BEST customer service. We walked into Bobalou to look at their menu and we were approached by the sweetest owner. She guided us through the entire menu with such a passion for her business. She allowed us to try every gelato, while explaining each one in detail. We highly recommend and will be back!!

    I saw a positive review on Facebook about the Cuban sandwich and my fiancé had to come try it! He absolutely loved it! It was a large sandwich and he compared it to the Cuban sandwich he had in Florida and he said it was so good and he wants us to add Bobalou to our rotation of restaurants we frequent! I saw on the website that there were also homemade soups and I couldn't decide between the potato soup and the cilantro chicken soup and I'm so glad I got both cups because they were awesome!! Can't say enough good things about our experience! Rhonda and Lou are the owners and both greeted us warmly and made us feel immediately like family when we first came in! Rhonda checked on us several times and also gave us samples of the gelato which was also amazing! I had the tiramisu and my fiancé had the pistachio and we absolutely hurt ourselves enjoying this meal to the fullest! 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

    Stopped by for a quick drink and was greeted with a friendly smile! The kindest service by the owners and they were helpful in helping us what to pick. They made us a delicious drink and were friendly! It was also super clean and spacious. Will definitely be back!

Allowing for lots of seating,…read moreand a wide open concept with all the windows throughout the establishment allowing great sunlight I truly feel I could be productive here and you are welcomed to sit and stay. You're able to get in through the front, or back doors. Parking can be difficult, to the back making it hard to enjoy the space, however not to the fault of the shop themselves since it is in the city. Now, onto the coffee I was able to get the seasonal blueberry crisp latte with their sweetened signature , moon milk. This had a strong blueberry flavor, but not artificial it was nice and natural, and it was perfectly sweet for me. I also want to note one thing I really enjoyed about this syrup, or the flavoring was that it was sieved or concentrated, sometimes when you're making a syrup at home, you get bits of blueberry throughout it and while I don't mind those this made for a nice smooth, drink with no chunks coming up in my straw. The nice thing about the moon milk is you can get it in levels for instance 'half moon' which would be about 50% sweet. The staff was attentive, and got my order out quickly. I was there less than 10 minutes from start to finish.

We had the chorizo burritos with their spicy red sauce, which are definitely a kids' favorite, and the eggs and potatoes with their green sauce, which are my husband's favorite, and ofcourse, their famous pink tacos The new location is beautiful and decorated so nicely with their signature pink theme. Everything feels welcoming and clean, and the restroom is always spotless. The staff is also super friendly and helpful. Definitely a place we enjoy coming back to for a delicious breakfast!

    ¡Qué rico! (So good!)…read more We discovered Cafecito on a casual drive through the Southside recently. My wife commented that the place looked "cute," while I immediately pulled up the menu. We're big fans of Mexican food, and what we saw looked promising. We were not disappointed. My wife ordered the soft pink tacos, naturally colored with beet juice, while I went with a big brisket burrito. The meat was seasoned perfectly, and the meal came with rice and two homemade salsas that started a little party in our mouths. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, and she told us that if we come back for breakfast, we should definitely try the chilaquiles. They also serve authentic Mexican dishes such as nopales, tortas, and menudo, all made by a mother-and-daughter team. And you have options for your beverages, too. They serve agua frescas and specialty coffees, along with margaritas, spritzes, and Mexican beer for those who prefer their refreshment with a little adult supervision. And for the manly men out there, don't let the rosy walls and flower decorations scare you away. Real men eat pink tacos. Besides, once that brisket burrito hits the table, you'll be too busy noshing to care what color the walls are. We'll definitely be back, especially for those chilaquiles. ¡Qué rico, indeed!

I was able to taste the umami of all the ingredients in this holy grail. From the Jasmine tea syrup, matcha, and Yuzu citrus cream. It was such a symphony of flavors bursting in my mouth. This is definitely the perfect summer matcha drink.10/5. The ambience is pretty mellow and the interior is small, but it had a great amount of personality with their art and different displays. There are a few spots for 6-10 people or so to sit or stand around in the seating areas and spaces available inside.I had a positive experience and my drink was AMAZING. I'll definitely have to stop by soon and if you have yet to stop by, I highly recommend you do.
