A must try! 11/10 would recommend. If you're a tea person, this place is for you! I've tried many things on their menu, and to this day have never been disappointed. Staff is always friendly and their service is up to par. read more

Great service and great boba tea drinks! I ordered two drinks from here, the total was $12. The quality of the tea was great and they served a good amount of boba in each drink. I recommend! read more

I bought roasted oolong milk tea with tiramisu foam. Maybe it's the wrong combo, but it's disgusting. The foam is not foamy, and the drink is not sweet. I did ask for 75% sweetness but this is not even sweet. It's one of their signature drinks, but I am not impressed. Maybe I will give another drink here a chance and see if it's just my wrong choice. Will update should I return. read more

So delicious with authentic flavor. Definitely going back ! And the service is pretty quick and easy read more

So, I finally decided to try this place out and I think I hyped myself up a little too much. Upon my arrival to this café I looked at the menu which is on the TV and they have the top 12 drinks on there so I decided to give one a try. I chose to give the strawberry Matcha latte a try. Honestly, when I got it, it was aesthetically pleasing with the matcha at the top milk in the middle and strawberries at the bottom. I was really excited to try it but once I did, it tasted like milk with strawberry chunks only. There was no strong flavor of Matcha, or really any flavor of strawberry, and mostly tasted like milk. I honestly was so disappointed because I was so excited to try this place.. maybe it was an off day. I may or may not give it another try. read more

This place has gone downhill since the last time I've been in there. The café looks pretty grimy. The walls look gross, the chairs are filthy. After paying and looking at my receipt, there's also a 4% service charge. I was not told about that prior to purchase. That plus my tip.. I paid over $25 for THREE drinks? read more

Great customer service but the drinks we have taste like pure whole milk . I specifically said no boba in my child's drink because he's picky and there's boba inside . read more

If you're near or on the heart of La Quinta & are craving something refreshing to drink, I HIGHLY recommend this place! Their drinks (Georgia Peaches, Hibiscus Green Tea & the Rose Garden all with Boba) are amazing! Also their Nutella & Banana & Ham & Cheese Taiyakis are worth getting (my own personal preference). The location is clean, quiet and with friendly staff on board. One thing that intrigued me was that the owner as she was making the drinks, had us sample them before they were sealed. The products they have (drink carriers, straws, cups etc. are visibly better quality and sturdier than other places I've been too. Hands down, I will return to try their rest of their menu. Give yourself a chance & try it out. You won't be disappointed. read more

These guys are great! Yummy food and drinks and always friendly service. They are open late which is also a plus!

Katherine is always there when I come and she is always so sweet. She manages a long line well and makes the best Lava Brown Sugar. Thanks, Katherine! read more

Cute little place with all kinds of different drinks and great shops right next-door too.

I was craving for a good bubble tea and hoping to find one nearby, so I search on Yelp. This place has good review and it's super close to our resort. So I ordered the Jasmine tea with boba.... As I was waiting for my tea, I asked what Takiyaki croissant is - it is basically using croissant and stuffed with either sweet or savory and bake in a mold that looks like a fish! After she told me what it is, I wanted to try. On the menu, they sell 3 Takiyaki croissants for $10, so that's what I ordered and with 3 different flavors. It taste good, but the red bean one could've been cooked a bit longer. The middle of it was still half way done! The other two were cooked well and tasted so good. I tried one bite of the red bean filling from the edge (away from the center of it). I so wish it was cooked just a bit longer. So that is the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. Overall the service was great, and she even made sure that I'm happy with my tea after I had a few sips. Highly recommended for the locals. read more

I popped in on a whim, and oh boy, what a great whim. I had the grapefruit paradise with aloe. The grapefruit was freshing, the green tea flavor came through, and I always like aloe. I actually forgot to adjust the sugar (I like 50% sweet) but even then, the drink was perfectly balanced - my belly is so happy right now, and I'll probably be back tomorrow. read more

Great value and super delicious flavors of taiyakis!! Highly recommend! I got the taro smoothie!

That 4 gals working on 4/21 are not very good at keeping track of orders during a rush. Two were doing nothing, the rest were busy laughing and giggling about whether or not they should say have a good night or afternoon. I waited over 15 minutes for one drink and it was the weirdest taro milk tea I've ever had. read more

I bought the green milk tea and it was the worst I've tried yet. Maybe there other stuff is good but don't get the green milk tea it's awful

Amazing food and drinks, they have a big selection of drinks that are just so good. The workers are also really nice, and it's a really cool place to hangout with some friends and play some games. read more

Customer service great! Taste wise not that great got a honeydew & a Thai tea with boba the thai was okay just okay the boba wasn't that good! The honeydew was horrible nasty after taste. read more

Love this place and I'm so glad there's more milk tea places. My family always craves their taiyaki whether it's the sweer variety or savory. My personal favorite is the cheese one. Their drinks aren't overly sweet. The staff is hardworking and welcoming. I know Happy Tea just opened up but they accelerated up my list into my top three already. read more

I got the Rose Garden tea, it was super refreshing. It wasn't overly sweet which I love. I'm excited to try some of their other teas and the taiyaki. read more

Finally glad this place opened. My family and I got their blueberry matcha, strawberry mojito, jasmine milk tea, lychee slush, strawberry milk drink and churros croissants taiyaki. All of the drinks and pastries were delicious. Can't wait to come back and try their other drinks and taiyaki. read more

My daughter couldn't wait to start working at Happy Tea Cafe! It is her first job and she absolutely loves the atmosphere, the owners, her coworkers and the DRINKS!! It is a brand new store with original recipes so obviously they have to work out the kinks, and to do so, they rely on feedbacks from their customers. Since they opened on 02/19 we have tried several different drinks, including the Strawberry Hurricane, Mango Tea with Mango Bits, Matcha Latte, Thai Milk Tea and my absolute favorite, the Tropical Fruit Tea. Their drink selection is extensive and everything we've tried so far we really liked! They also have Taiyaki, which are stuffed, hot, flaky croissants made to order. Yummy!! Especially the Nutella Taiyaki! We definitely recommend this store and not just because my daughter works there. Go and try their drinks... you'll be hooked! read more

Best Milk Tea / Boba Cafe in the valley. Also has the best tasting Taro! Owner is extremely nice and their service is great.

(2/5) I am giving this place a 5/5 because they are a brand new operation and I don't want to taint their reputation so early on! I would give this place a 2/5 if they weren't so new. I walked in and it was oddly very hot and humid inside the building. The staff members were very competent and friendly. The menu was easy to read and there is a plethora of options to choose from. I ordered a mango tea with mango bits and add-in boba. After I ordered, the tea was made relatively quickly which I was happy about! I received it with a plastic lid on top of the regular punch through wrap lid as their machine wasn't working correctly. No big deal but would be nice to have the regular lid. When I started drinking the tea I was only getting the tea and the crushed ice. I was not even able to drink any of the boba because it was all amalgamated together and none of the pieces were separated. This was pretty frustrating as I had only really come for the boba - let's be honest. I also could not get any of the mango bits out either because they were cut oddly and were too big to fit up the straw. So basically I'm just drinking crushed ice and watered down tea until I'm left with all the toppings stuck under a wad of crushed ice. To say the least, I was very disappointed. I won't be returning for a while as I assume they are working out the kinks of having a new business. I am very excited about the potential of this store as it's in a great spot and everyone loves boba! read more

This place is awesome! Was my first time trying Taiyaki, and it was delicious! The milk teas are also super nice, and the prices there seem pretty fair. Would highly recommend! read more

I love this new store! Their drinks are delicious, my favorite is the Strawberry Hurricane!! The Taiyaki pastry is excellent. I love how this store is so different from the every day coffee shop. The young crew is very polite and helpful. The prices are affordable. I highly recommend them. read more

I first met the owners/operators at the Palm Desert Food & Wine festival last year. I was so excited to hear their shop was walking distance from my home! Great tea, great people, great vibes. I'm so glad you guys are here! read more

I used to not like milk tea but their blueberry matcha tea is so delicious. Highly recommend!

My first time here, I wanted somewhere close to Bermuda dunes. Parking was very tight. Lucky if you get a spot. I'm new to boba , this would be my first time. Two employees there greeted me, I told one of them what I was looking for. They told me #3 lava. It was BOMB...A little sweet at the beginning, then delicious. It was fairly priced $5.00 .I'll be back. Maybe my new boba place. read more

We tried the modern Taiyaki which was awesome. Glad they opened in our neighborhood. We'll go back today to get some drinks!

Decided to try this new place and I am so glad I did! The first thing you notice as you walk in are all the amazing house plants; it's so trendy and aesthetically pleasing! I ordered the taro milk tea with brown sugar/honey Boba. It was perfect! When they handed me my drink they said make sure you like it and let us know if we need to make any adjustments for you, which I thought was the nicest and most professional thing any restaurant has said to me!! That's amazing customer service. The only thing I would complain about was that it was a bit warm inside, like they didn't have the AC on or maybe it wasn't working. Regardless I can't wait to go back!! read more

great ambience, relaxing type vibe. boba drinks are really good And flexible about the adjusting my drinks to my liking. Melissa has been taking care of our order lately. she's patient, friendly, and seems to try her best in taking care of our orders. we love to see her when we come. sadly, there was a customer who was rude and mistreating her basically telling her to hurry up. accusing her of bad customer service when in fact it wasn't at all. she was trying her best to cater to all the customers efficiently and in a timely manner while being the only working employee at the time. read more

For some reason their boba milk tea doesn't include milk. It's some sort of non-dairy thin liquid and is loaded with Stevia or Truvia or some sort of fake sugar. However, the Thai milk, tea and the taro milk tea really have milk in them. Go figure. Anyway, recommended if you want to get anything other than a milk-based drink. read more

Very delicious taro milk tea and the croissant taiyaki was surprisingly good had the ham and cheese and red bean and they were both very good!! Reasonable prices and looks like a good hangout spot. Can see myself coming again and bringing friends this time!! read more

The ambiance was so relaxing and inviting at the same time. The customer service was amazing everyone was welcoming and polite. The drinks are amazing too! Went in not knowing what to chose and the drinks ended up being super delicious! Definitely going back when in town again Thank you! (Sorry couldn't get pics ) read more

AMAZINGGG! boba was delicious, such a good texture, the customer service is pretty on point, the Taiyaki was one of the best parts, however the wait was pretty long but that's a GOOD thing, shows the demand is high bc they were PACKED & since these were well made it was worth it. Maybe somehow increase staff? ik it's hard with such a small space read more

I threw my drink away! Drinks are below mediocre! Try the boba place in Rancho! Atmosphere is unclean and dingy feeling. Instead of the owners being arrogant they should be grateful for each customer and treat them as such! Especially with mediocre, bland teas! Please don't waste your money at this establishment read more
