    Cafe monster has a creative menu with unique and popular trendy drinks. The inside has plenty of lounging area with a TV that was playing sports at the time I went. I met the owner Tam and he was very informative with what drinks are the best sellers and any questions we had. I tried the horchata matcha with 50% sugar. My other friends got the Thai tea brûlée. The matcha horchata was topped off with a horchata foam that worked pleasantly well with the matcha. It wasn't overly sweet and I'm glad I adjusted it to 50%. My friends had no complaints and enjoyed the Thai tea brûlée. Will definitely be back to try other drinks.

    The Vietnamese coffee was very good. We had alot tried two flavor of fries. The Cajun was definitely the best. But they had no dipping sauce or ketchup which would have been a nice touch. But we would definitely come back for the nice and friendly service and big space for hang hanging with friends. I counted their monster mascot as an animal for my "30 before 30" challenge to go to 30 animal themed tea shops before I turn 30!

    This place used to be Ding Tea and now it's Cafe Monster. I decided to stop by and glad I did. Overall, the ambiance is well lit and has a modern feel to it. There is plenty of space and tables for the customers. I ordered the Pink Monster refresher and it didn't disappoint. I love the flavors of Pitaya, mango and coconut milk, what a tropical taste in the mouth and a "pink drink" that's done right! The golden boba still has the same chewy consistency it had under the previous name. I need to go back and try more of the drinks for sure.

    Left winter melon milk tea , right oat milk blueberry matcha.  Not good.

    The quality of drinks here are lacking. My wife and I tried the oat milk blueberry matcha and the winter melon milk tea, respectively. Neither of us enjoyed our drinks very much. They tasted artificial and bland. Considering the many other options available in the area, we won't be returning.

    Good service and great place to study or sit down. The base milk teas are alright but their specialtys are a much better experience. Only thing I can say is your employees and whoever they invite to the store should have better manners especially when theyre blocking the door and fixing their cars in the parking lot.

    drinks always hit no matter what, having a rewards number with them always helps out with discounts also

    My girlfriend and I are suckers for deals and a BOGO on flavored teas brought us to Cafe Monster where we enjoyed a Pineapple Tea and a Pink Monster Refresher. A little sweet for my liking but overall refreshing. The staff were welcoming and friendly, looking forward to trying their milk/coffee teas next time!!!

    Einspanner Latte

    Cute and cozy spot. Ben was very helpful with helping me pick my drink. I got the new Einspanner latte. Enjoyed how it had a good amount of sweetness and coffee taste. Will definitely be returning to try it with boba.

I like how some of their drinks already come with toppings, like the avocado and mango pomelo smoothies that come with agar. Service is decent. We used the self-service tablet, so only communication was them saying hi and giving us our drinks. There's also no chairs or tables inside, but they do have some shared outside seating with the other nearby restaurants.

I ordered the jasmine milk tea with half and half of regular and mini boba and my boyfriend ordered a matcha latte. We both enjoyed the tastes of our drink. My boyfriend really enjoyed the matcha drink and said it's one of the better matcha she's tried. My drink was very Jasmine forward with the hints of milk. IMO the regular boba was a little bit chewier for my last. I kind of like my boba softer. Overall, definitely a boba place I would go to again.

So be sure to call ahead to see if they have the drink you want. My mom is a huge fan of the TGY Family Milk Tea, and we were glad they kept their standards up, as she really enjoyed her drink. * TGY Family Milk Tea: 10/10 - great toppings and milk tea flavor * Passion Fruit Green Tea: 9/10 - sweet and tart * Jasmine Green Tea: 5/10 - bland and tasteless * Boba (Topping): 8/10 - soft and chewy but a bit small * Cheese Creama (Topping): 2/10 - no flavor considering it's a $1.25 add-on Compared to their other locations, this one is a bit smaller, and there isn't much seating. You have to use the mobile kiosks to order, and we waited about 10 minutes for our drinks. They accidentally forgot the Cheese Creama for one of our drinks, and it took them about 8 minutes just to add it, which we thought was very weird. Nevertheless, the workers were still able to fix it, and we didn't really have any major problems during our visit. The shop is located in a plaza with a supermarket, so parking should be relatively easy. The majority of the menu items are great, and we'll definitely be back to try some other items!

Sad to to say, this location is probably the worst one I have been to. Actually, my experience here was one was pretty bad compared to most boba shops. Why may you ask? Let me tell you a little story, You may skip to the end if you don't like reading. So this happened last weekend. Just had a wonderful Easter lunch and was spending time with family who I haven't seen in a couple months. Was having a good afternoon and wanted to treat everyone to nice boba treat. Lucky for me, they were running a promotion of a BOGO if you did a coloring page. I had spent the previous night coloring a masterpiece! Recalling back all the coloring skills I had back in elementary school as well as my collage art classes. Fighting through hand cramps and stress from using only a basic 12 color pencil kit to make my multicolor work of art, needless to say, I was looking forward to presenting my work to get a well deserved delicious drink bonus. Already had my eye on their Dubai chocolate frosty drink. Sunday was going great, feelings running high, until my GF and I walked into this place. Got up to the register/kiosk to order. The kiosk had nothing about the BOGO so we had to get the attention of the lone worker to help.. If help was the right word... We rang the bell and waited for a bit before the worker came. Long story short, he said he was not trained for it and had to text his manager. He just left and continued to make drinks since there was a lot of people waiting around for theirs and I could see the online orders printing out, adding to his work load. So we waited, 5 mins, 7 mins, 10 mins. nothing. No acknowledgement. No communication. meanwhile a small line had formed behind us, and I was feeling the social anxiety. I got the workers attentions and asked if there was any progress? He said the manager hasn't responded. I asked if he could call her instead of texting. He said he was too busy and left us there... W.....T......H.... At this point, we stepped to the side to allow people to use the Kiosk since we apparently weren't helped. We waited like chumps for another 10-15 minutes, no acknowledgement, and at this point I got Hangry.. So I made a joke with my GF that I could probably order a pizza and get it before this guy helps us. Hahaha.. funny joke right? EEEEHHHG! wrong... since that's exactly what happened! I ordered domino's pizza. We kept asking for help but the workers basically didn't do anything. When my app said my pizza was ready, that's when I knew we just wasted our time. 45 ish minutes for nothing. On our way out, my girl friend was nice enough to let people know who had the coloring pages in their hand that the worker doesn't know how to apply the discount, and that we waited for almost an hour. We considered going to the Fullerton location but at this point my Hangryness was at peak. I'm over it. So we left frustrated, angry and disappointed. I had to let my family know that there was no Boba for anybody. Much disappointment since everyone was looking forward to a nice tasty, frosty drink. Made me feel like a big L. Why would management run a promotion and not train workers for it? Why was there only 1 worker on a busy Easter Sunday? Talk about bad planning and training. Ironic thing is that they had the advertising for the promo right next to the Kiosk! SMH. They should have called this place "SunWrong DMV". Nothing going right, no help and long lines. They almost ruined my day, but at least the pizza didn't let us down. -- So in conclusion, be wary if you come here especially if there is a promotion, order online and expect a wait during the weekends.
