    Lychee Slush with boba and lychee jelly
    Cindy K.

    Such a cute little spot. Every time I come here, the drinks are delicious. The service is great and very friendly. There's usually one to two people working every time I've gone in. And they recently renovated it a little bit, so the decoration inside is really cute. Plenty of seating and air-conditioned. Tried getting creative with my photo! Boba butterfly

    Matcha latte

    They were doing a BOGO deal on DoorDash, and I ordered a BOGO matcha, and BOGO taiyakis. The matcha has decent flavor but it's not mixed in well. There were chunks of matcha in my drinks. The Ube and mochi banana taiyaki were good and piping hot, but to be honest you can't really tell which one is Ube or which one is banana and mochi.

    Nice local tea shop that provides comfort in the aggressive heat. The Pinch Me Peachy and Kiwi Blast both had green tea with 25% sweetness. I enjoyed the basil seeds and aloe vera in the Kiwi Blast. The service was friendly and efficient.

    I went in almost right when they had open so they were getting everything situated but once they saw I was inside they were super welcoming and asked me if I had any questions. It was my first time going but the menu was pretty easy to understand. I ended up getting the strawberry green tea and it was so good and refreshing!

    Tiger milk and taro milk both with boba.

    Cute little spot to get a yummy cold drink. The young lady who took our order was very friendly and efficient. She had our drinks ready at no time. Great little spot.

    Nutella with banana

    Grapefruit paradise: it was average at best . It used to be very good but nowadays they just mix tea with syrup . It taste very average for the price Food : it was way overpriced. The taro bao is $4 each, basically frozen bao from 99 ranch but they reheat it for you . I don't think they even bother to put it in the steamer . Is very dry since they just use the microwave. The other dessert was ok. Everything is frozen here, I don't think they even bother to mix the the batter with water.

    Churro Taiyaki inside

    Happy Tea Cafe is serving up some refreshing teas/bobas and fun desserts. I was super excited to see fresh Taiyakis being served in this area as there isn't still a huge variety of Asian cuisines in these parts. Happy Tea is located in a busy shopping center off 111 highway. I will say parking can be a little hard to grab and tight but if you are willing to park a little down outside of this section of the shopping center, there was plenty of parking just not right in front. This is a good location though as they get a lot of food traffic. The staff here are very nice and friendly. They definitely get busy but we're super friendly and helpful despite getting slammed with orders. Nice people work here and despite how busy they were they were truly doing their best to crank out orders. I also appreciate that they use a number system for calling out your orders! Super effective and kept it from being awkward with random people trying to grab your stuff that are waiting. I love that they keep it simple and stick to calling out order numbers, please don't change this! The drinks and food were definitely 5 stars! My butterfly tea lemonade was super refreshing and visually pretty. You can add one free "add in" but I opted for none this time. Wanted a simple drink. The drink selection here is fire! They have a great assortment and I was happy with my drink and would get it again. They also have a small variety of hot appetizers here like Baos, egg rolls, and tempura. I didn't try this as I was eagerly eyeing their Taiyaki. Wow they also had a good assortment of flavors and to get three for $12 is truly a steal. Thankfully I was mindful that I really shouldn't have more than one and opted for the churro flavor. They are so good though it's tempting to not order a bunch because this was one of the best taiyakis I've had in a while. The sugar coating definitely made it taste like a churro and the inside was buttery and fresh. One of my favorite desserts and this spot does it right. I'll 100% be back and bringing some friends. Only upgrade id give is the restaurant is a little stark and with some cute painting of the walls or even a little bit of artwork / decals this spot could come a long way. While the girls were inviting the atmosphere was a little "meh". Normally I'd dock a star but I really really loved the food, drinks, and service that I think they are still deserving of 5. However, it definitely needs a little extra love and fun vibes inside to make this spot memorable and more inviting from the outside. I know it can be costly but hopefully would be a good investment as you'd get a younger crowd coming in, taking pictures, and being free advertising so I'd like to think it would be a good investment. That's my only upgrade for a spot that's already pretty awesome. Cant wait to come back and try more drinks and snacks soon.

    Saw an ad on insta, the corn dog looked good. I was very excited as I've had Korean corn dogs in the past and really enjoyed them. Come to find out this was a disappointing Korean corn dog. The taiyaki fish I ordered was a 4/10, I expected a waffle taiyaki from the image on their display and received a croissant looking taiyaki, the Nutella and banana part was good, but the croissant was throwing it off, and very dry. I had also gotten a drink and asked for lite ice and did not receive what I requested. My overall experience was quite disappointing due to the images being advertised and receiving something completely different.The drink was one of the best I've ever had, I really did enjoy it, but I wouldn't order any of their food again.

    I love this location!! They have yummy Taiyaki and they are super sweet! They currently have an ongoing labubu giveaway which I thought was the cutest!! Really great service!

    Boba is delicious, servers are friendly! The atmosphere is nice! I personally recommend the butterfly lychee lemonade as it has a really good flavor. The place is very clean. If I could rate it higher I would

    Smells divine. The staff is friendly and made great recommendations. I was surprised at how quiet…read moreit was when I entered, but sure enough, as more people came in, it felt alive. Plenty of parking in the private lot. We ordered a regular sized Strawberry Matcha latte with strawberry boba and a regular sized Tropical Fruit tea. 10/10 for both drinks. Would come again.

    We were so glad to see this location is open late! We had a late night craving for some sweet milk…read moretea and headed over. There was only one person working that we saw and she was visibly cleaning in the back when we came in so it took a bit to get someone out to help us but that is totally understandable. We had time to check out their menu which has lots to offer. My husband got the Hokkaido Milk Tea with custard and I highly recommend that milk tea. The flavor was deep and rich with just enough sweetness. I wanted the Matcha Banana Brulee (because I always check out the menu on the way) but when we arrived they had signs that they were out of banana syrup, so I tried the Lavender Earl Grey instead. The color looked very different from the photos on mine, but my first drink was absolute heaven. The lavender cream was yummy. Unfortunately, after a few sips, I was left with bitter earl grey so we grabbed some sweetener and tossed it in so I could finish my drink. I would love to try that Matcha Banana Brulee Latte next time though. The prices here are more than reasonable. You'll be surprised how much bang you get for your buck. We will definitely be back soon.

    SHORT ANSWER: Yes, if you're into this sweetness of a drink. I have only been to two of these tea,…read moreboba shops and they are similar. Most reviews are 5 stars... ! Weird Hours 11am opening. My Starbucks opens at 4am. LOCATION: Great location, large retail center just off the 111 in La Quinta. FACILITY: Very nice, open, clean, and bright inside, seems like a lot of fun the moment you walk in. MENU: This is not totally my thing, so don't know how to explain it but everything looks so sweet and sugary. FOOD PREP: Excellent, looks like artworks in a cub. FOOD QUALITY: Excellent, but waaaaay too sweet for me. I found out later you can ask for 50% or 25% sweetness... the looks of the drinks themselves are very artful. WAITSTAFF: The girl working was fantastic, so nice and offered some advice for our 4 drink order. OVERALL VALUE: Wow a bit expensive but for the size and the work put into each drink I guess it may be kind of a meal for some people. We spent like $40 for 4 drinks some with boba, I could only enjoy half of mine too large and too sweet. TIP: If you're into this and million are around the world, enjoy. If you're not accustomed to this drink, ask for 25% sweetness and stick to coffee with the coffee boba and you'll be fine.

EDIT-Also had a Bobo Milk Latte tonight with Strawberry Popping Boba with strained ice and no added sugar, which was great for a dessert after having a Korean-BBQ next door. No dirt-tasting matcha this time, which's totally normal ...

    Yummy teas. For the milk teas, they don't have any non-dairy options... I asked and they said they…read moreonly have milk. Sad face. I like their refreshing jasmine green tea 75% sweet. I tried 50% sweet, but this is a full undiluted Jasmine so I need a little extra sweetness to take the bitterness away. Great news that it's not watered down. Hubby and I like the original mochi dog crunchy and chewy with a nice yummy hotdog & half hotdog/half mozzarella inside. Not excited that it's $.75 for a sweet chili sauce... I might bring my own next time...LOL I do like that they now have the instant Ramen option... Haven't used it yet because I can make that at home but it's nice to know I can make it out if needed... When you have a yummy chewy crispy mochinut hotdog, what else do you need?!? They have a great product, but my issues that make it a four star versus a five star are that they are not open on Monday and Tuesday and that's usually when I want to go...boohoo :-( Also, They charge I think $.60 if you use your credit card but they do have options like Cash, Zelle and Venmo that don't charge for paying those ways. All the various little upcharges are slightly bothersome... But the positive side to that is I can choose to not add those things and save some money while still enjoying the basic Mochinut experience... as long as it's not Monday or Tuesday.... I'm assuming that Monday and Tuesday were not busy enough for them and they had to do their best to utilize their staff on the other days and it seems that they chose to be open on the weekends over Monday and Tuesday, which is probably a good business decision... So I'd rather them stick around because they make good decisions for their business, even though they're kinda not available when I want. It's better to have them survive in this hard California business climate. There is nothing like Mochinut, so we can all compromise a bit. So there you go if I didn't have any issues with open days & upcharges, they'd have a five star based on product & service.

It is not my…read moreonly stomping grounds for gas, but I probably spend an average of 1200.00 a year at this station. After today, I will spend no more at this place Save you the tedious details, but after going back and forth into the gas station because the pump was not working, the gals made it sound like it was "my problem." I am 55 years old and have been filling up my own tank for some time, I don't think this was my problem with my ability to fill up gas. The customer service was so rude. As my husband and I are both business owners in this desert and have employees, I was shocked at what was coming out of her mouth. I asked for them to cancel my credit authorization to get my gas at another station, which I did. When I check my receipt, it does not show my transaction canceled and will have to wait and see if it appears on my Amex statement. Save yourself the time and get gas somewhere else. Chevron has always served well along with Circle K in LaQuinta

Will definitely not be coming here anymore.
