    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!

    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.

    labubu giveaway!!

    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!

    Dragonfruit Passionfruit lemonade

    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

    Always nice service! my go to spot for a local Signature Milk Tea with Boba. nice deco, large menu, and drinks come out fast.

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.

If one order is taking longer than expected, the employees will often come outside and start handing out the orders behind it that are ready. It keeps the line moving, and I really appreciate how efficient they are. Pro tip: Order ahead in the app! Once you arrive, they simply check you in, and your order is ready to go. It saves a lot of time, especially during peak hours. I usually order the Double Rainbro Green Tea, but on my last visit I decided to try the Dulce de Leche Latte, and now I'm hooked! It's the perfect balance of sweet and coffee. My husband always goes for the Golden Eagle Cold Brew, and for our son, we get the kids-size Strawberry Smoothie, which is the perfect portion for him.

    We have wanted to come here for a long time since moving to Palm Desert, a couple of years ago…read more My Son, the Navy Veteran really enjoys coming in for coffee and pastry before heading over to CSU where he works. We arrived at 8 AM on Thursday and sat near the front of the restaurant. There were three other tables occupied at the time. I really enjoyed the Bees' Knees latte. My husband enjoyed his latte and my son had iced coffee. Beverages are served in unique and very pretty porcelain teacups. We ordered the Bananas Foster waffle with sausage patties, the half order of prosciutto avocado toast with eggs on the side, and my son had the chilaquiles. This is the kind of place where you can savor an old time atmosphere with many things to see as you enjoy conversation. This is not a fast food restaurant. The staff are warm and friendly. The half order of prosciutto avocado toast was really delicious. The bread was lovely and dense and could have been toasted a little bit lighter for ease in cutting through the vegetables. (This was easily the perfect size for a meal, and the whole order is equally beautiful and generous.) My husband is still swooning over his lovely waffle and sausage patties. He gave his dish a solid 4 stars and talked about it all the way home. My son had chosen the red chilaquiles which had just the right spice level. The place filled up steadily until we left about an hour and a half later. We have a patio outside, which is receiving a new sunshade and lights. Mona the owner explained to us that on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. They will be serving dinner. She was warmly greeted by people who are obviously regulars to the café. We look forward to coming back soon because it was very difficult to make a decision on the menu and everything looks so good.
