The tea itself is consistently fresh, and you can really taste the quality in their milk teas. The brown sugar boba is especially good -- perfectly chewy with just the right amount of sweetness. The menu has a nice variety of flavors, from classic taro and matcha to fruit-based teas, so there's something for everyone. I also appreciate that you can customize sweetness and ice levels to get it just how you like it. The shop has a cute, cozy vibe that makes it a great place to hang out or catch up with friends. Service has always been friendly and fairly quick, even when it's busy. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that wait times can get a little long during peak hours, and seating can be limited. Still, it's absolutely worth the stop if you're craving quality boba in the area. I'll definitely keep coming back!

Unfortunately, my visit (weekday around 9:30 am) was a letdown. I was the only one in line, yet I stood there for several minutes without being acknowledged. The staff seemed more focused on their tasks (cutting a kiwi and making coffee) than on greeting or even informing me they'd be with me shortly. I had to walk out without making a purchase. I'll give this place another try, hoping my next experience will be better, as I truly want to enjoy it.

They still made up for it run the tase. The only other note is that it was a bit hard to find as the shop said COFFEE SHOP and not Haggerty's on it, only in small letters.

The sundubu jjigae (which is silken tofu soup) is exactly what I used to get when I was a kid growing up in LA. The side dishes (banchan) were kind of mid, but kimchi, fish cakes, and broccoli are exactly that: kimchi, fish cakes, and broccoli. Potato pancake was heavy on the mozz, but yummy and filling. We also visited for Poutine Week GR and they participate every year with a lot of fun different variations of a Korean-style meat with tater tots. Good spot for Korean food, but also a good spot for just a coffee and to study.
