The owner did not want to charge me for my daughter because he wants to encourage parents to play with their kids and bring them.

It is such a unique family business and knowing business owners with family values like him Exist was a precious experience.

I came here specifically to try alfajores as I had never had them, I was not disappointed. I picked…read moreup a to go tres leches for 2-4 people, a larger size coconut alfajor and their regular alfajores (6 smaller ones). Tres leches - had some chocolate drizzled on it, which was new to me but the cake was good. Bordering on too sweet but the flavor was fantastic. Coconut alfajor - subtle coconut flavor more moist and chewy than I thought I would be. I liked it a lot. Regular alfajor - this was awesome. Again, I expected it to be the dry, crispy wedding cookie type cookie but as with the coconut, the soft texture gave way to a slightly moist, chewy cookie. My favorite desserts are tiramisu and baklava. That list just expanded by one - alfajores. It was the middle of the afternoon so there was no crowd, the place was clean and I'm assuming the owner was warm and friendly and answered my questions about alfajores. 100% will return.

Milk Tea Lab is now under new ownership at this location, and having been visiting this spot quite…read moreoften throughout that time I've become more than familiar with the quality and expectations of this place. This was my first time visiting them again since the ownership change so it's been a minute. What I see here now is just depressing, not just because the place was empty, but it's now devoid of anything that felt like a spot someone would want to hangout at. No music, when I got in there was one person waiting for their food and nobody was even at the front counter for minutes before somebody finally came out from the back. Ordering is just through the kiosk now, which isn't a bad thing. The part that was really rough was the reason why I even came here; the boba. I got a regular milk tea which now they only have a single size. I miss the extra large size they used to have, but oh well. The next issue comes with how much the boba actually costs. They may have gotten rid of the extra large cup sizes, but they're still charging the almost the same amount for it in a much smaller cup. What a deal, right? And we get to the actual drink. When the person making the drink after receiving your order finishes within a minute of making it, it's never a good sign. Why is that? Well, they had premade jug of milk tea ready to pour out for your tasting pleasure. When you have a premade jug of milk tea, it's never a good sign. While I've had them at other places that have done this before, and it's ranged from bad to mediocre, the one here at Milk Tea Lab, now, was in a word, rancid. It was incredibly gross with absolutely no redeeming qualities to it. I generally try not to be so harsh, but this was really not it and I couldn't even finish the boba because of how bad the milk tea was. It's sad to see how big of a dropoff this spot has become compared to what it used to be. This isn't like when they first opened where there were only 2-3 boba spots right next to them. Now there's at least a handful of options within a few minutes away, and dozens of spots within a mile or two, and this is what they're pushing out? It's a shame but this Milk Tea Lab which was their starter store is no longer a place I would ever go back to for boba. It's time is now past with this new ownership.

Came in here on a Saturday, so it was super busy. Ordered a Taro milk tea with red bean and Boba…read more Before I ordered, I made sure that the lady behind the desk had oat, almond, or dairy free milk options. She must've misheard me when I said, oat milk, cause she started using whole milk after I ordered. I told her I have dairy sensitivities. And she said that is the only milk that she had. But this was after I paid for the drink... i've never had a problem at other locations with no other dairy options. ...there was also barely any Boba and half the drink was red bean. Very disappointed. I must've been fourth in line after a family, and three other customers were served before me. If you have dairy sensitivity, DO NOT come here. I do not recommend it. Probably not coming back here again.

There are a variety of sandwiches, salads, pastries and sodas you can get from the fridge but I really like the handmade beverages here. My favorite things to get that you can't get anywhere else on campus are the variety of hot chocolates! There's European (rich, thick chocolat chaud), American (classic), Indian (chai), Asian (orange zest), Latin American (chili), and my favorite Alpine Swiss (white chocolate almond)! Perfect wake-me-up for class time. For something lighter or for a hotter day, the lemonade-tea and fruit lemonades are also very good! Sure, there's better places in the area but for SCU, this is the best place for drinks!

Having become aware of this place while searching for more interesting coffee spots, I decided to come absorb the atmosphere while enjoying a caffeinated beverage and treat. Upon entering the unassuming store front, the hanging vines, roses and other flowers greeted me. At the register I was greeted and ordered a hot rose latte and warbat to enjoy before moving on to other adventures. The latte was quite good. I could taste the rose but it wasn't overly floral or perfumed, which rose can be. The warbat was packed with pistachios, and was honeyed but without being overly sweet or sticky owing to whatever fat was used in prepping the pastry. The music was lovely, the people watching was relaxing, and I will not only be taking assume treats home, I plan to return again and hopefully often!
