    Matcha latte
    Kathy X.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yummy food. Great coffee. Was visiting from out of town. Noticed the good reviews. Glad I tried…read moretheir breakfast sandwich on croissant. Just want to mention they have Christian music and items for sale. If that bothers you?!

    This coffee shop was recommended by my son who visits us once a year. He raves about their pastries…read moreeverytime he visits. And he goes to J.J. every single day. We tried it today. I ordered a 16 oz. Chai latte with almond spinach and mushroom quiche. My husband ordered a cold brew with cherry syrup, cream and a quiche as well. When we got our drinks my latte tastes watered down. I could not taste the coffee but only the diluted Chai flavor. My husband's coffee was delivered by the barista and she was asking if he needed cream. My husband said there is no cream on this coffee to which she said that is why I am asking do you need cream? I told her softly, that I'm sorry but he is hard of hearing, and she whispered im not going to argue here. It is surprising and disappointing that she behaved the way she did, when the coffee was ordered with cream in the first place. The only good thing is Guillermo ( Bill) who was very gracious and kind enough to offer to replace our coffees. I asked for a extra shot and it husband asked for just a regular coffee. The quiche was good. Noise level is moderate. They have a sitting area outside. Did not get to taste the pastries because I just want to be out of there. Customer service: the cashier was respectful but the barista was not. The coffee seems diluted. Poor customer service. And to think that my husband is a veteran, and the lady was rude. Guillermo is the only star here.

    This Dutch Bros Coffee location is on the corner of Fred Warning & Jefferson St, La Quinta…read more As I drove up & order through their drive thru , i noticed you need to either order through their walk up window or driver thru. They have seating outside, but there no seating inside at this location. When I was in line, Christopher is the one that took my order, I told him this is my first time here. He asked me if I had any questions & he answered them all beautifully! The great thing about Dutch Bros coffee is that you can actually build your own coffee, also they have : Seasonal drinks Protein coffees Blended coffees Coffee Classics shakes smoothies sparkling sodas Iced Teas Hot cocoa Chai lattes Energy Drinks They also have Hot Takes: Chorizo wraps Maple waffles Sausage Egg & Cheese sliders Bacon Egg & Cheese sliders Chocolate chip Muffin Tops Coffee Crumb Cakes Blueberry Muffins Banana Bread Slices Cake pops The great thing is they have an app so you can order ahead on their app & they have rewards program which I absolutely love! Even though I ordered outside, I felt this Dutch Bros Coffee place was very friendly, warm and welcoming. I ordered a Golden Eagle: Oat milk with Vanilla & Caramel with Caramel drizzle Large & 2 Chocolate Chip Muffin tops. After I paid I went to the window, Amber was there and gave me my drink and Chocolate Chip muffins tops she was so sweet! Their price points are spot on & everything was delicious! I also notice it was really busy when I drove up, Christopher was on it zig zagging to different cars to get their order while in the mist of this heat! He was on it! Christopher "Bubba" was so very polite, sweet, kind, caring, thoughtful, very genuine, super down to earth! Christopher has this very positive upbeat energy about himself that really radiates! Christopher is Rarest of all Diamonds! His shine will never fade! Please treasure him greatly!! I would especially love to Thank Christopher "Bubba" For Fabulous & Fantastic & Memorable Visit! I would like to the Terrific worker Amber and the rest of the great staff here! I like to Thank Dutch Bros Coffee for a wonderful visit! I'll definitely come back again!! I'll tell all my Family & Friends to come here! Please be kind & courteous to these hard workers!

    My first time trying Dutch Bro., it went pretty well…read more My Vanilla Latte was good, not extraordinary but the flavor was good. It was served way- way too hot for me, but I enjoyed it when it was drinkable. If you have a sweet tooth, I recommend their blueberry muffin. It's a good size portion, it's soft and airy, good flavor with a good amount of blueberries. Baristas here were friendly and quick!! I will most likely come back:)

    I had been wanting to try Yes Please for a long time and finally got around to it and I'm glad I…read moredid. Since the first time we have visited this place a few times and have even invited our family over to try it out. There is indoor and outdoor seating. You order inside and they give you this number where you take to your table and they will bring the food out to you. There is also napkins, and water inside for you to grab for yourself. As for the food, I am someone that loves trying different things in hopes I find something I really like, so far I have really enjoyed their cheese danish and butter croissant. I have yet to find my favorite dish from here as I was not a big fan of the chicken and waffles as the oil or sauce from the chicken spread under my waffles & sort of had this weird after taste that I didn't enjoy much. The breakfast burrito was huge and just okay I think if I would customize it a bit I would love it more and the chicken pesto sandwich so far has been something that I enjoyed a bit. Just personal experience as I've seen so many other really love those items. When I find my favorite meals I will come back and update. I do like to note that my boyfriend on the other hand has stayed loyal to their BLT + egg sandwich since our first visit and recommends me to try it so maybe that will be next on my list when I visit again. Their matcha is also okay, the notes are leaning vegetal and I just prefer a more nutty savory matcha. The strawberry syrup they add is pretty good. Wouldn't get it again though.
