    Brown Sugar Milk Tea
    Samantha B.

    First time coming here and was not disappointed! They have croffles (croissant waffles), tea, coffee, milk tea, and a few food options. It was evening time so I opted for just a brown sugar milk tea, which was delicious. My friends ordered a croffle, which she enjoyed, as well as french fries with spicy mayo and shrimp tempura. Those were delicious for the price, nothing too fancy but a nice snack while enjoying an iced drink and time with friends. They service is very good, they were kind and attentive. They also clear the tables for you, so no need to place your plates anywhere. They have a handful of tables and some board games available as well. It's quiet and a nice spot to hangout.

    Vova Cafe has been on my list ever since I spotted they had croffles--haven't had one since my trip to Bali last year, so I was excited to finally try it. It's definitely a hidden gem tucked away in a strip mall, the kind of place you'd easily miss if you weren't looking for it. Ordering is done through a kiosk, which was quick and easy. The mister went for the brown sugar croffle with boba, and I chose the pistachio. While we waited (about 10 minutes), I loved that they had board games available it's such a cute touch and makes the wait feel shorter. The decor is super unique too it almost feels like you're stepping into a 3D sketch, really creative and fun. And the croffles? So worth it. Every bite hit the spot and satisfied both of our cravings. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

    I stopped by this place while waiting for my kid during math class around corner, and I'm so glad I did! I tried the strawberry croffle, and it was SO good! The croffle was warm, crispy on the outside, and soft inside. The combination of a croissant and waffle is honestly perfect, and the strawberry made it even better. I also tried the Galaxy Ade and brown sugar boba, and both were delicious! The drinks were refreshing and paired really well with the croffle. Such a cute place to stop by while waiting, and I definitely recommend giving it a try. I'll be back!

    There's an undeniable prevalence of boba competition in the southwest part of the city -- seems like there's a shop on every major corner, so my tea ratings are a little more picky and selective. Working on this side of town, one of my new hobbies consists of trying out boba places on my lunch break. Gives me something to look forward to. Vova Cafe features a unique 2D concept for its ambiance. Fun and novel. Service is efficient, interactions kept to a minimum on both visits. They offer teas and desserts, most notable their "croiffle" which is a cross between a croissant and a waffle. On my first visit, I got their STRAWBERRY MATCHA milk tea, which I did NOT like. The strawberry portion was like a basic syrup lined around the cup. It just seemed to overpower, not complement. To me, the matcha portion tasted overly sweetened and inauthentic. Not my jam. The second visit I skipped their drinks and decided to try their croiffle. I went with the PISTACHIO CROIFFLE, which was good and presented nicely. I didn't really get the croissant vibe, more waffle in nature. I was the only one in the cafe at the time, so I got it pretty fast. Only wish it came out warmer than it did. I probably wouldn't go back for the drinks as there's too much competition out there like I mentioned, but their croiffles are worth trying. Great portion and variety.

    This place is under New management. I brought my family while eating next door and glad there is a great drink and dessert place nearby by. We ordered The croffles and slushes and they were all delicious first Time trying croffles. The place was newly painted vs the prior business. Right direction under new management. Cute and clean interior Will be back.

    Unique black and white designed sketched cafe that offers classic boba drinks! I would say that the drinks are on the sweeter side, so I don't find myself here a lot. The servers are kind. We got the strawberry matcha, and there wasn't that strong of a matcha taste, and the strawberry syrup was quite sweet and overpowering.

    I found my milk tea and croiffle spot. They make the best tasting and cooked right croiffle. And I love their matcha with the coconut milk. Service is fast. The only thing I don't like is outside the door there's a young man begging for money so he can buy a drink from here. And also young people like to hang out here and they can be loud and some of them have no manners Like demanding water from the staff without saying please.

    Looking for a great boba place to try out? Then look no further! Vova cafe is place! Staff is very friendly and your drinks are made very fast! I really liked how cute and hospitable it felt inside. They have different opinions for you to select from and if you don't want a drink but want something sweet then you have to try their croiffles!

    Cookie & Cream croffle

    Really liked this place! I got the cookies and cream croffle and it was pretty good. Jayze made it and did a great job, she was really nice too. I also really liked the aesthetic of the cafe, it's cute and has a nice vibe. I thought it was cool that they have games you can play while you're there too. Definitely a nice spot to hang out!

    Matcha strawberry and jasmine green tea!

    VOVA? A unique name for a unique place! First time here and it was definitely a cute experience. We walked in and it felt like we were in a cartoon! They definitely made an effort to make it look as though you are part of an animation and we loved it! The best part? You can chill and hangout and play games! They had mini games like UNO, Connect 4, cards, and much more on the tables so you can enjoy your drink while having fun too! Oh and did I mention the drinks? If you love boba, you'll enjoy a variety of their selection of drinks and you can customize them too! from sweetness level to iced for smoothie. They'll accommodate you as best they can! We ordered the strawberry matcha milk tea with 50% sweet and it was just the right amount of sweetness! We also ordered the jasmine green tea 75% sweet which was also delicious! Also they have desserts! We didn't get a chance to try them as we were full but definitely next time we will! Their desserts consists of croffles and macaroons! Definitely will be back!

    Ambiance of this cafe is so cute! Although the drink quality isn't really good tbh. I've had way better drinks from other places. I got the Royal milk tea, and the flavor of the drink is just like milk with a hint of tea. It's probably because the don't use real tea and just a powder (I assume) The boba was good though! Its consistency and flavor was good. Service was also nice and fast

    This is such a cute boba cafe off of Warm Springs and Durango and I love their 2D theme. My family and I came one night 1 hr before closing. The staff was already tidying up but was friendly as they assisted us. I got Hokkaido milk tea and the boba was still fresh.

Even their employees must not have a break room, so they sit in a roped off area at a little table with their back to the customers for added privacy. It's really not private though. I heard my name called and I scooped up my cup of green delight. Oh I do adore warm boba. The cool creamy honeydew sweetness enveloped the chewy anise pearls and it was a decadent treat I absolutely savored. I didn't feel rushed and I lingered just a bit while I enjoyed my honeydew boba. Welcome - that's how I felt. What a truly nice feeling.

It's very smooth and creamy with a complex flavor profile that's slightly nutty. I absolutely love taro flavored drinks and desserts so I was really excited to try this milk tea out. It tasted like a very sweet cereal milk that had tiny white bits floating around that were texturally off-putting. I think moving forward I'll just stick with the Oolong milk tea because it's just that good!

Mango sago drink 50% sweetness (best if you don't like it too sweet), taro cream tofu pudding shaved ice, osmanthus tofu pudding, and crème burlee coconut jelly whole (so much more worth it unless you want to keep the jar). Everything pair really well together. We all loved our orders and I never had popping barley boba before and barley is my favorite desserts. I'll be back here with or without friends.

It has the feel of a family run business, with a mix of random decor that gives the place a casual and homey atmosphere. Service (4/5): You order at the counter and pick up your food when it's ready. However, the server, or possibly the owner, brought our desserts to the table for us. Food (4/5): We got the almond pudding and the Signature Grass Jelly Combo. Both were good, and the ingredients tasted fresh. I did notice that the milk ice in the grass jelly combo melted pretty quickly. It could have been because it was a hot day outside, but I would definitely recommend eating it sooner rather than spending too much time chatting between bites. One thing I do have to point out is the restroom. It seemed quite dirty and could definitely use some attention. There's a common saying that you can get an idea of how clean a restaurant's kitchen is by looking at the restroom. In this case, it did make me a little concerned. I hope they can improve the cleanliness. Overall: A great spot for a casual afternoon shaved ice dessert. The desserts were fresh and enjoyable, and with some improvements to the restroom cleanliness, I think this place could be even better.

They should probably increase the tea proportion by 2-3 the amount they're using now. I ended brewing my own tea at home to add to it. In regards the boba, it was warm, which gave me the impression they made it fresh. But upon biting into it, the outside is chewy while the center was still a little hard. I can't speak for their smoothie and other drinks, which might be better. I think they have room for improvement and have potential which is why I'm giving them a 3 star.
