    We had boba here on a weekend afternoon and this place is actually a very spacious and clean place to study and do work. We ordered our drinks which were quite tasty and made well, not too sweet. However the drinks were a little on the pricier side but still worth it to us given the nice ambiance.

    Fruity drinks, good sweetness. Had to wait a while but service is very friendly. Might have to ask for sauce for popcorn chicken next time.

    Just wanted to provide an update that the drinks and food are still amazing! Basically go here almost weekly for a nice cold beverage. The owners are super friendly

    They just opened last week. Saw they had Labubu jello and knew I needed to stop by. Inside is very clean, super spacious. They even have a karaoke stage/area. This place would be great on a weekend night. Bring a couple friends, sing your heart out. Whilst eating and drinking boba. Staff was nice. Nothing out of the usual. Very helpful and sweet. Hue banh mi: I've never seen this on any menu in Fresno. It's stir fried pork belly? Or stewed pork belly. Supppppperrrrr flavorful. But the skin on the pork belly was chewy. Not going to lie this banh was so good. They even included Vietnamese coriander. My favorite herb. No one ever does that. Pate was good. The pickled daikon and carrots were sweet and tangy, bigger chunks so you get a nice fresh crunch in your banh mi. If it weren't for the chewiness of the pork belly I'd give this a perfect score. (4.5/5) Popcorn chicken: they don't have an appetizer version of this. You have to get this as a meal. With garlic noodles or fries. I was expecting the popcorn chicken to be battered, like other boba spots. But this was lightly battered. It was good. Very well seasoned. The garlic noodles were also good. Very garlicky (4.5/5) Tiramisu boba: the drink was delicious. sweet, creamy. The boba was also good in flavor like brown sugar flavored but it was on the harder side. I do wish it was softer and chewy. It would've been perfect. (3/5) Overall I'd definitely come back. They're still in there grand opening phase they do have some things to work out. But that banh mi is a winner. It's something so different from what we usually have. But they need to get rid of the skin on it and it'll be perfect.

    Cute little boba cafè. Food and service was great. Love the ambiance. Prices are kinda up there, but they put a lot of love into their store.

    Great hang out place! I love the banh mi here! I love the baguette they use for their banh mi! The owners are super nice and welcoming. AND they have bulgogi fries

    Royal tea, normal ice, 50% sugar, boba, lychee jelly

    The atmosphere is clean and fresh. I was supprised by how spacious the shop was and by how much seating there was. I ordered the royal tea with boba and lychee jelly at 50% sweetness. Even at 50% it was very sweet, but tasty nonetheless. The woman who made my drink was very kind. I would definitely come back to try more drinks.

    No, thank you!!

    I highly recommend Highlands because it's a really nice place to relax and their drinks are really good! I got the banana whipped matcha latte and it was so good even though I got it right before closing. The workers were really nice and kind so that's a plus for me. I do regret getting the tart, though.

    They are very welcoming right when you come in, the interior is great and the boba and food was fantastic! Its so rare to find a boba place that get the tapioca bobas perfect along with the drink being so flavor as I got the highland signature boba. The pork belly banh mi was hitting all the right notes as i was enjoying my time eating it all. Would love to come back, they are so delightful and friendly!

    New restaurant/boba shop that serves Vietnamese food, boba, che, and variety of sweets! The sweet lady at the counter was very welcoming and accommodating with the order. It's such an adorable set up with plenty of seating and an abundance of natural lighting. They also play soothing Vietnamese music, and I'm happy to report the food and che were very flavorful. I look forward to coming back!

    Tai tea, Purple blended smoothie, Tiramisu Mousse Espresso

    Service was amazing, drinks served fast, everything tastes so good. Lovely polite staff workers. The inside is so pretty and aesthetic. Lots of seating and there's a karaoke stage!

Bimmers,Euros, JDM, muscle cars, and sport bikes were out in full force and it took up the entire parking lot and then some. Inside, the interior was respectfully done. Comfortable seating in both chair and booth setup. There was only 1 restroom, so washing my hands wasn't a possibility. (Good ole wet wipe to the rescue.) We picked up the Strawberry Lemonade and Brown Sugar Oat Milk Shaken Espresso. They were both delicious. Will definitely come back for an iced Dubai Pistachio Latte soon. Thanks again for having us and hosting the PISTONS & PASTRIES event. We hope we can partner again for another one!

The decor was Arabic/middle eastern with pops of color. There were many seating areas including outdoors. The service was decent. The girl working wasn't overly friendly but wasn't rude either - but she was using her phone between helping us. I ordered the Qamaria latte which was lovely and not too sweet. My daughter enjoyed the strawberry smoothie and said it was one of the better ones she has had. My husband liked his brown sugar latte. We didn't have much time to spend as we were grabbing things to go before heading out of town. I think it would be nice to order and enjoy while there but that means we'll have to stop in again on our next visit to Fresno. If you're looking for something different from other (ahem, mainstream) coffee shops then you'll have to try this place! Also, all the desserts were fabulous. I'm usually not a big mango fan but that mango cheesecake was 10/10. Also being Mexican I love a good tres leches and the lotus was so good.

You could probably park your bicycle on many of the parking meters that are nearby. It feels relatively safe to leave a bike here I would suggest use the usual two different locks to lock your bike. Located next to a gelato shop that has the best gelato in town. Also around the corner is a great local clothing store that has higher end items as well as local designer made pieces. The service here was great and I ordered a café con Leche. He let me ask a dumb question and I didn't feel stupid. Didn't know what was in one of those and I didn't want it too sweet they made it perfect with less sweetener. It's perfect cold drink with cinnamon and coffee. I would definitely order this one again.

The parking is ample as there is a lot right next to the building where Ty's located and an even bigger parking lot across the street. It's right at the heart of downtown which (in my opinion) adds a very nice scenic touch. The service was great! I was a bit distracted on my phone while ordering so my biggest apologies if I didn't look engaged. The guys taking my order was patient and very nice though. I ended up ordering a cold brew and a cherry danish. Wow, the danish was very good, I'd go there again for when I am craving a coffee and danish. My one thing is the fact that the cold brew was pretty sour, which I know is dependent on the form in which the cold brew is made. As a person that loves cold brew I like tasting the bites but it was over-powered by the acidity which I just asked for a side of milk to neutralize it. My friends ordered a lavender latte which I got to try and it tasted amazing, great balance of lavender, not too perfume-y great floral taste. I am definitely coming here again:)

Alyssa is knowledgeable about espresso, how to achieve a proper pull, listening to her educate a fellow employee in a very kind, warm and educating manner, while providing a thorough explanation of how to and why to do things in a certain manner. Her explanation helped myself understand from a distance about espresso and the do's and don't s to achieve the perfect product. I always ask servers for their recommendations. Alyssa gave us two of her recommendations and gave us complete clarity regarding the smoked vanilla shot with paprika. Knowing my open pallet and the fact that I am very open to earthy and knew things that was a definite must try. When Alyssa served us our flight she sat down and provided a very thorough explanation of where all the beans, flowers and bread are sourced and explained it is basically a taste of Fresno. The flavors chosen for the flight. Banana: very much like banana taffy flavor. Very good and sweet banana flavoring that was muted delightfully when adding the espresso. The lavender: I'm a huge fan of lavender and it was bright, floral and milky, everything was searching for with good lavender flavoring! It was delicious both before and after the addition of the espresso. The almond citrus: it was very almond forward which was bright, and floral also with a slightly sweet finish and almost tasted like eating a scrumptious pastry. The smoke vanilla was served strikingly with a smoked cinnamon stick on top. It was bright, warm, earthy, and slightly spicy on the back end. This drink was my favorite and it the milk helped smooth the notes out completely balancing it. The flight was stunning to look at and taste. Service was SUPERB and educational with local sourcing information. Would I return: ABSOLUTELY!!!

We walked up to the order counter where they have a menu explaining all their drinks. The owner helped us with which drinks were on the sweeter side and which were not. My friend and I opted for a banana brulee and a chai. We also ordered one of their bagels with in-house made cream cheese with orange zest. The chai was absolutely amazing, best in town in my opinion. The banana latte was a little on the sweet side for my taste, but the owner graciously added another shot of espresso to my drink to even it out. There are so many interesting flavors on the menu that I will definitely be back to try another one. The bagel was good, but I think I might go with the more savory one if I ordered food again, or maybe try the pan dulce next time. And there most definitely will be a next time!
