    Their tropical paradise toast was sooo good. Strawberry ice cream and vanilla with strawberries and mango were the perfect combination! I like the variety options this shop offers as well. They have snacks, soups, and crepes. I definitely will come back to try more of their options. As for the rose milk tea, the flavor was slightly there but the boba had the perfect sweetness. I also went during a small rush and I appreciate how fast the girl worker worked quickly and efficiently

    milk tea and Thai Milk Tea
    Jenny T.

    My coworker and I came here for a quick snack around lunch time. The owner was working the register and was super nice. My coworker is a regular, and he knew exactly what she wanted when she walked in. I ordered the Thai tea and fried tofu. Both were pretty good. The fried tofu was fried soft tofu which I wasn't entirely expecting, but still good! I'll definitely be back in the future.

    Next to the Santa Clara University. Parking is a bit hard. Popcorn chicken is great, clean washroom. Overall it is a place for boba and snacks.

    Solid spot for boba that runs "chinese sweet" and helpful staff, with the bonus that they tend to be open far later than most boba shops are. With the bonus of reasonable parking that gives you options at the quieter hours. Plus their interior decor is a cute riff on all dat bubble tea! Got helpful flavor recs and sweetness levels. Note they run less sweet than other shops and suggestion was on point for a more chinese level of sweet. Flavor of my green tea was spot on and boba texture was good! Nice and chewy without being too soft.

    Monday Night Experience: Barista is great! They made my drink exquisitely. Popcorn Chicken and Brown Sugar Pear Latte are fireeee. Clean place, loads of indoor seating. Good decor and cool vibes. Little Noisy but good music.

    Curly fries
    Sydney J.

    I tried CAFFE:iN since they were within a few minutes walking of a restaurant I was already getting takeout from. I tried the curly fries which were fine, they put pepper on it. I haven't often seen curly fries specifically offered as a snack, usually boba shops only sell regular straight-cut fries or sweet potato fries. The popcorn chicken has basil in it. I used their bathroom and it was clean. I saw they have faces on the lids of the drinks, which is rather fun.

    If you want to wait 40 minutes for your drink AFTER half of your order comes out, definitely come here. Such BS that they made other customer's drinks that came in AFTER us before making our drinks. They had no excuse - couldn't get our order right and just said a lot of orders came in. BUT, they should take care of the orders as they came in. But NO...they made drinks for customers that came in 30 minutes after us. Don't come here unless you don't mind waiting for no reason as well as not even getting an apology or even an offer to refund us. HORRIBLE service!

    Creme Brulee Toast
    Denise L.

    Satisfy your late night cravings here! They have food, snacks, boba, and dessert all in one place. My favorite items are the popcorn chicken, matcha ice cream milk tea, and the creme brulee toast. First I have to inform you that the large size for teas is REALLY tall. Check out my photo to see what I mean. You may need to exercise some caution when transporting it. But hey, the more tea the better! The larger toasts are epic looking but seem to be more hardened than the creme brulee toast. We were not able to eat a pretty sizeable portion of the toast. But at least they were generous with the ice cream. Sometimes I wish I could eat off plates here since the food is so attractive, but I totally understand this cuts down on having to wash dishes. Parking is limited but I've always been able to find a spot. However this may be because it is usually later at night, when most other boba places are closed. TIP: Creme brulee toast is divine. DATE TIP: Cute spot to share some treats and conveniently take them to go if you're in a hurry.

    Food and drinks were amazing We accidentally added boba to the brown sugar milk tea and they just super sized the drink! Now that's awesome service. Appreciate the honesty.

    Mango tea
    Alyssa M.

    This is a cute little spot that serves amazing snacks and food options. The drinks are delicious. I've been here a few times before posting the review. I also had their chance of trying their sweet toast and popcorn. Chicken definitely recommend this place as far as the service goes I can't complain not too many people inside and not very friendly but a great place to go grab a snack and enjoy some nice music and cute photos on the wall. Definitely will be back.

    WHY WE WENT HERE: - sweet treats THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located off the corner of The Alameda and Camino Dr - street parking - outdoor seating on the Camino Dr side THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - order through a kiosk - quaint inside, definitely cafe vibes THE MENU: - most popular - new & most popular - ice flavored tea - iced milk tea - snacks & food - smoothies - jelly ice - signature honey toasts - crepes - hand brewed hot teas - signature caffe - items WHAT WE ORDERED: - oolong milk tea - creme brulee toast THE TASTE: - oolong milk tea - refreshing and not too sweet - creme brulee toast - comforting CUSTOMER SERVICE: - minimal since it was just to retrieve the items ordered at the counter when they were ready

    Mixed Mix Fruit Crepe
    Adi G.

    Fun spot to hang out with friends after work! I ordered the mix fruit crepe which was very tasty, although the crepe was a bit hard to cut, especially with the plastic knife. Popcorn chicken was delicious-with a slight spicy kick. We ordered some boba and teas which were all pretty good. The spot itself was small and cute, right by Santa Clara University. It was a fun place to hang out. All of their dessert options looked intriguing so it was hard to choose- I would go back again and try other dishes!

    This review is of a delivery order placed on Father's Day. We ordered right at 11am when they…read moreopened and received our order just before noon. I got a fried chicken plate with a side of mac and cheese and collard greens. My husband got the mango habenero wings and fries. The kids shared brisket and mac and cheese. The chicken was crispy, well seasoned and hot, the brisket soft and smoky, the mac and cheese was possibly the best mac and cheese I've ever had in my life (I'm not a huge meat eater in general so this was my favorite)???? The collard greens were flavorful and a hint of spice. We have little kids so we find ordering delivery easier but I noticed on their website they do Soul Sundays with live music from 1:30-3:30...and I really want to try to make that work one day.

    Our Go-To place for a late night meal…read more We got the Rabokgi, the Spicy Tofu Soup, the Boneless chicken, and the Egg Fried Rice. The portions are pretty big for each dish, so just a warning because we thought they'd be smaller and ordered way too much! The fried chicken was really crispy and delicious, we finished it so quickly. I'm not usually a big fan of fried rice but this was slightly sweet while still being mostly salty so it was great! Would definitely get it again. We were craving a bit of Tteokbokki but the serving was huge! Rabokgi is just ramen in the middle of the tteokbokki, and it was pretty tasty. It was just too much food for us. The spicy tofu soup was good, it hit the spot. We wish the waiters would've warned us of this, as there was so much food left over because everything was bigger than expected. The place's decorations are very cute. People have idol photo cards hung up which is funny and cute.

Definitely a place I'd come back to again if you're craving Korean food!

But how was the food? Fortunately, it was good! The breading on the fish was a little unconventional compared to a lot of fish and chip places - almost like a corn meal, find breading versus the batter bready type. But I liked it. What I really liked was the fish seemed fresh - light and flaky. It seemed like it was freshly breaded and fried, not frozen. It's just that I've been to some places that service fish where the fish inside is soggy, seems freezer burned, and is just a bear to eat. But this was a pleasure to eat. Flavor was pretty typical, but texture and freshness was excellent. And you could pick two sauces (tartar sauce and hot sauce for me!) which is great because I used both. And the sides I picked were the chips/fries and coleslaw and both were very good too. Lots of fries as you can see. Service was businesslike and efficient and they brought the meal to my table versus just calling my name to get it. I like the small touches and they seem like they care about the customer experience, even if it's a more casual place. Just the hand sanitizer on the table was a thoughtful touch which I appreciated. So very much enjoyed it and happy to recommend it.

I also like how they give you an option of two sauces, I liked the tartar and chili garlic oil the best, bang bang was a runner up. Only reason I have 4 stars is I prefer my fish to have a crispier thicker batter, the batter looks spiced but has a very mild flavor, and the Cajun fries were not very seasoned. I prefer a heavily seasoned crispy thick batter which is definitely personal preference.
