I believe having a store uniform is important because it makes employees stand up to their positions and titles which should be friendly and welcoming.

Please stop by and try these drinks friends as they are super refreshing!

Boba Lab was one of the vendors at a work event and the customer service was amazing. The drinks…read morehonestly weren't my favorite, they were a bit too sweet for my taste, and the boba itself was more bland compared to other honey boba I've had before. That said, the owners were some of the kindest people I've met, and that genuinely made the experience so much better. Good customer service and warm, welcoming people really do make a difference. You can tell they care about their customers. Even though the boba wasn't exactly my preference, I still left with a positive impression because of how nice they were.

I had the passion fruit tea 25% sweet which was technically advertised as made with real passion fruit puree but it was just a premade syrup from Teazone. I received the drink and was disappointed that it tasted like water with some passion fruit resemblance. I had expected a stronger tea flavor since I did less sweet, but it tasted like sweetened water. I ended up discarding the drink. We also had gotten a classic black milk tea, which also tasted watered down, and finally we got the ube coconut smoothie, which for some reason was grey and white. We got that one at 75% sweet, but it was way too sweet and left a weird residue in my mouth. Very disappointed and would not come back again.

My Bento Box included two rice balls of my choice, and I selected the edamame & Japanese pickles as my two sides! Spicy Salmon Omusubi | Delicious, filling, includes chili seasoning, & lightly spicy!

Tuna Mayo Omusubi | Delicious, filling, includes albacore tuna, sliced cucumbers, chili seasoning & red onions! I opted for the spicy mayo, though you have another choice of wasabi sauce!

Everything's made fresh to order but the waiting time was relatively decent. They did serve plenty of choices including for vegetarian options. We got their Spicy Salmon and Sunny Blue Curry. The first one was bit more tomato-ey flavor to my palate than spicy. The rice was perfectly cooked and moist coated in crunchy nori wrap. The salmon was pretty generous as well. I would recommend the latter more though as the curry flavor was so bold and delectable, well elevating the tender chicken.

I've always been a fan of Urth Caffe but I also always leave wishing it were just a little less…read moreexpensive and a little less crowded! Parking in Santa Monica is rarely easy, so I considered it a small victory when I actually found free street parking in the neighborhood during my most recent visit. My go-to order is usually the D'Lox Toast or the D'Lox Sandwich, but this time I opted for the D'Lox on a bagel. It was absolutely delicious as always, though seeing the $20.65 price tag for a bagel sandwich is always a bit of a shock each and every time. And, of course, I couldn't resist pairing it with a Wazuka Matcha. Another $8.50 later, I had one of my favorite matcha drinks in hand. All said and done, breakfast for one came to $32.28, which is pretty steep especially for a place where you order at the counter and find your own table. That said, the quality is consistently excellent. The ingredients are fresh, everything tastes great, and I always enjoy my meal and overall experience at Urth Caffe. If the prices were a bit more reasonable (and the crowds a little smaller), this would easily be a five star spot for me. Until then, it's still a place I'll happily return to whenever my friends want to go.

We stopped by Amai Coffee and really liked it!…read more Food: I ordered the cream cheese croissant, hojicha latte, and a regular latte. Everything was really good! The cream cheese croissant was my favorite, it was warm, flaky, and had a good amount of cream cheese. The hojicha latte was really good too and had a nice flavor. The regular latte was also good and tasted fresh. The staff was really nice and friendly, and we didn't have to wait long for our drinks and food. The cafe was also clean and had a cute, cozy vibe. It's a nice little spot to grab coffee and relax. Overall, I really enjoyed it and keep coming back!

The drinks are consistently good, which I really appreciate. That said, the hours have been a little iffy lately. There have been several instances where I've shown up around 7:15-7:20 AM only to find the chairs still up on the tables and the lights off, so I'm assuming someone didn't show up on time. The most recent instance was this Wednesday (9/2/26), when I arrived around 7:20 AM and the shop was still closed. It was a bummer, especially since this isn't the first time it's happened. I tried my luck again yesterday (9/3) and today (9/4) around the same time, and luckily the shop was open. Shoutout to the girls who were working yesterday and this morning for showing up on time and making some fire drinks! . I hope the opening hours become more reliable, especially for the early workers.
