    It's so nice to finally have a boba tea shop on this side of West Seattle! I've been visiting this location often and it's been slowwwwly improving since its grand opening a month and half ago. This location tends to "run out" of boba or other toppings, or doesn't have the drink items advertised in the store (ex: roasted Okinawa tea - the drink and the bottle were not available with no ETA on getting it in) so you're never sure what you'll end up with. The employees I've interacted with do not seem to know some of the drink ingredients well. I asked about the crystal boba ingredients - since some shops soak in sweetener - and they couldn't answer me. I asked about the dairy ingredient they subbed (without asking me first) for a drink I was picking up for a friend and they could not answer. Here's hoping for better training because this is the only spot here to get our boba fix.

    One of the things I appreciate about this place is they get the order right every time. Roasted milk tea: No sugar, medium ice, with boba. I also like how I'm not waiting an eternity for a single order. Maybe I've been lucky but i'm not waiting too long whenever I'm here and it's usually quiet inside. I highly recommend pairing your drink with their mochi donuts, they've got a good selection. I ended up getting a couple of visually appealing dochis; one with fruity pebbles toppings and one with chunks of chocolate. I'll be hitting this place up the next time I'm looking for some decent boba.

    I had even tried boba or any of these tea places. Ever. But then I saw this one near my nail salon and realized being the hot and iced tea fanatic I am, it needed to be tried. I still don't want to try boba but I was pretty taken by their black tea with lemon and the ability to adjust the sugar level, do it hot or iced, and add fun things like puff cream. The C1 black tea with lemon is really so good and a classic way to go. I may eventually try some of the other options but this is my go to and recommend with low or no sugar and add a topping if you're feeling a treat. Friendly and fast service, clean shop, and good addition to Westwood Village.

    I was super excited for this because it added some ~excitement~ to Westwood Village but each time I have gone, and others I know have gone, it's been pretty dissapointing. I have got a few times but kept giving them chances before I left a review. -first time, it was during their soft opening. We went in because we saw the BOGO deal and by the time we ordered, we realized it was only specific drinks. Weird promo to get people in but okay lol. -second time, my boyfriend and I got 3 drinks and waited about 20 minutes. It wasn't super busy and there was just ready made drinks to be handed out so there were a few parties just standing there waiting. They finally call out my number so I go up to them but told them I am missing one more drink. They look around and realize it is in the machine that puts the plastic seal so the worker grabbed it.. and put it on the counter with all the other drinks to be handed out.. instead of handing it to me while I'm standing right there since he knows that's what I'm waiting for. I couldn't even grab anyone's attention so we ended up waiting 5 more minutes for my drink before soemone handed it out. -third time, I got a bubble waffle and it was raw and dough-y in the middle. It also took an extra 5 minutes after it was done until they actually handed it out. Some pros: they have a lot of parking, the inside is very cute and their mango matcha smoothie is yummy. Each time I come here, I'm given reason to not come back but I keep giving them more chances. I hope this is just them trying to figure out everything since they did just recently open.

    It's great to see a bubble tea shop collaborating with a mochi-donut shop! Now you can taste 2 pleasures in one place: mochi donut and bubble waffles! Happy lemon has always been a favorite, but it's unfortunate to report that this shop is smaller than other locations. And due to this fact, their menu is also smaller. I can only recommend this location if you're a fan of the more basic flavors bubble tea has to offer.

    I may eventually try some of the other options but this is my go to and recommend with low or no sugar and add a topping if you're feeling a treat.

Love that the tables were not short on the hot sauce. Service was great with the right amount of warmth and sass. I had the pimento BLT for brunch and man that sucker was so good! I got mine with the fried thigh and shoestring fries and it was so good. Fries were nice and crispy and not greasy! Also shared a side of catfish and so much flavor and not greasy at all! How do yall do that?! lol When you leave a spot like this, typically you feel weighed down by the fried foods but this place left us so satisfied without that weighed down feeling. Can't wait to come back for a dinner date night. Thanks Fat's!

It was packed inside but we were seated fairly quickly. All the staff we encounter were really nice. I had originally wanted to stop by for a Bloody Mary but also ended up ordering a mini mess haul.

This place remained busy the whole time we were here. Which I take as a good sign. The Bloody Mary I ordered was so yummy. Definitely need the salt that morning haha.

We were pleasantly surprised when we were seated with a smile and friendly service even though they closed in half an hour. I didn't feel rushed, but also didn't want anyone to need to stay late on our behalf. I ordered the Nashville Hot chicken. Temperature wise it was very hot. Spice was pretty mild in my opinion. Waffle was okay. Seemed like everything had been premade and frozen maybe. My daughter had the kids strawberry and whipped cream waffle and it was decent. The service was excellent and the food was okay. I'd probably only go back if I was 5 minutes away and the kid's wanted waffles.
