Fun cafe that serves unique tea drinks. A full meal or pastries are other options and they're all good!

Still one of the best milk tea & bakery in the area. My husband tried strawberry tornado this time and he loves it. They are running promotion now with every 2 drinks you would get a free bread which they all are display on the counter. Always a special treat for us whenever we order tea & bakery from here. read more

Koala is on my regular rotation when I don't feel like cooking. I haven't ever had a bad meal. Cost is reasonable for the food served. The Boba drinks always taste great, the boba is perfect and plentiful. The chicken is served hot and fresh as are the fries - don't miss out on the Szechuan seasoning! I've eaten several of their dinners with rice and always thought the serving sizes were good as well as the flavor. My personal favorite is the purple rice burrito with chicken, eel, and shrimp. It's tasty and filling and satisfies my cravings every time. Go here! Support local! read more

Selection was quite limited, against the menu offerings. The New York cheesecake was good, the crepe cake was ok.

One of my favorite bakeries in the area! The crepe cakes are a must try here. Service is friendly and efficient. The vibes are low key and casual. read more

Koala Bakery & Cafe - Mango crepe cake - Bubble Tea Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

I was there just about an hour ago. I ordered the fruit cup and the osmanthus oolong milk tea. The drink is the only reason this review has more than one star. The fruit cup is rotten. The strawberries are leaking liquid and the cream is separating. This is also not the first time, I ordered a mango one last time and the mangoes were molding. I gave them the benefit of the doubt as a small business once but twice cannot be a coincidence. I also called in a few minutes ago, and since I was not willing to drive an hour back to the shop, the girl who answered just said "Sorry to hear that" in the most insincere and condescending tone that just said that she was waiting for me to get off the line. read more

This was fun place. My daughter and I stopped for a sweet treat after our lunch out. We shared a slice of the cookies and cream crepe cake which was delicious!

Koala Bakery & Cafe - Ube cheesecake Sun Moon Lake milk tea with Crystal Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

Such a cute and inviting place! I stopped in as I was visiting out of town for the bar exam, and Koala Cafe had excellent reviews. The boba did NOT disappoint. I had the Koala Brown Sugar Milk Tea with boba, and the milk to tea ratio was perfect. Not too sweet, either. The boba was delicious! So soft and chewy. Not tacky at all and I could tell it was good quality boba. The cafe also serves food! Like real food - not just pastries I wish I had stopped in before I had dinner next door, because the calamari and sushi rolls looked so delicious. Along with the boba, I also got a Sakura pastry and matcha green tea crepe cake. The cake was good but a little heavy on the cream. Still delicious though! The staff were so sweet and gave me suggestions on what types of milk tea would suit my tastes. Loved that they were so patient while I made a choice! Will definitely return next time I'm in town! read more

Service was amazing. The place was clean and very nice inside we got bunch there delicious pastries. We'll be going back again.

Excellent Experience at Koala Bakery & Cafe We were passing through the area and decided to stop at Koala Bakery & Cafe--and we're so glad we did. The staff was incredibly warm, welcoming, and friendly, making us feel right at home. The food was outstanding--hot, fresh, and full of flavor. We ordered appetizers, entrees, and dessert, and everything tasted authentic and absolutely delicious. We also tried their Boba tea, which was perfectly made and a great addition to the meal. If we're ever in the area again, we will definitely make a point to come back. Highly recommended! read more

The vibe is always cheerful and I love the tea. Especially peach oolong milk. Popcorn chicken is always good.

Yummy fast food and good boba! A cute place to grab food between classes or on a lunch break.

Finally tried the food here - instantly regretted we took so long to do so!!! Their food is AMAZING. It tasted so fresh, like it was homemade. Their portions were very generous as well, especially with the shrimp - usually with shrimp dishes you get like 3 or 4... I literally kept finding more and more shrimp, it was fantastic. The shrimp stirfry was a bit spicy but not hot enough to stop me. It was delicious. The black pepper chicken was just as awesome! We also tried their Szechuan fries. Afraid they'd be too spicy, they really weren't! They were very good as well. We ordered them expecting the meal portions to be a lot smaller, but alas. We had so much food. Definitely will be back read more

I love coming here because the employees are always very kind and helpful. I don't think have had a single bad experience here. I've been at least 30 times. Drink is always good, food is always good. I've got the shrimp, sweet potato fries, many of the different desserts and breads. Everything that I've tried seems like it's fresh, and it's very enjoyable. Sometimes I wish the tables could be cleaned more frequently or the trash emptied more frequently because these are things I notice as a customer (however I understand you are very busy). Besides that, I'd definitely give this place a good rating!! The vibes are great too...cute decorations, lighting, etc. read more

One of the rare places that have cheese foam as an option, and they actually lay on a thick layer! Reminiscent of the cheese foam boba that I had in Taiwan, the matcha cheese foam drink was awesome! A true matcha drink (more bitter than sweet), it was served as a slush type and had little ice particles that were fun to chew on. The Koala fruit tea is also a really great pick if you're more into juice! The other thing I love is that they serve a durian fruit crepe with real durian chunks. Yummmm! read more

Stopped in when we were in the Lansing area for their baked goodies! They have a whole case of refrigerated slices of cakes and other desserts. Koala makes everything in house: *Chocolate Crepe Cake: Okay this can damn well compete with Lady M (especially where I can't get Lady M conveniently in Michigan). The cake itself was light, not too sweet. Just don't inhale any cocoa powder like I did, ha! *Macau Egg Tart - This is most similar to a Portugese Egg Tart. The outer puff pastry was layers of perfection and the custard-y goodness inside was almost flan-like! It held perfectly. *Tiger Skin Cream Roll - Growing up, I ate a fair amount of these fluffy swiss rolls so I couldn't help it. No complaints - soft, fluffy and OF COURSE - not too sweet! They had other flavors available of the cream roll as well. They also have milk teas and entrees (like purple rice burritos! intriguing). But, definitely at least stop in for the baked goodies! read more

The food, the drink, the service. The food, desserts to be exact, are delicious. The oreo mochi is crave worthy and the mango and earl grey crepe cake is off the chain. I also had a custard filled cupcake. These are delicious. The drinks- I had a passion green tea with no boba on one occasion and a pink rose milk tea with brown sugar boba on another. Both were perfectly sweetened and not overly iced so you get your monies worth and flavor is not watered down. The service... So much to be desired! On my first occasion I figured that maybe they had been busy as to why there was a lack of energy even though we were trying to be friendly. We were greeted by a nice man and given stone cold service by a young woman working the counter. We shrugged it off as the food and drink was delicious and figured we could still go back. The next time I walked in there was no acknowledgement up until we were barely told our order ready. Barely told meaning we had sat near the counter to wait and our bag was push slightly our way after we looked over realizing it must have been ours. I was so disappointed from the bare bones treatment. Getting the drinks takes forever and the only people I saw being acknowledged were those who could speak their native tongue. Pretty sad since it's the most important time to come together and support one another. I will be taking my business elsewhere. I was so excited to try this place since I haven't been in the area in some time. I told my best friends and they too also had poor service and experiences. I can't continue to spread the word and have them and myself be treated as a nuisance. My time and money can be spent elsewhere. Perhaps a cafe that is warm and inviting. read more

Mouth watering - so good ! Packaging is so cute too :) will be back soon !! Try the mochi !

My favorite place to eat when in town! I love the shrimp tempura and Japanese fried rice! Desserts are delicious too!

I thought this was a dessert-only place. Wow, was I wrong! They have an extensive pan-Pacific menu that looks amazing! The Oreo Crepe Cake we had was excellent, and now we're excited to go back and try their full menu! read more

Another bubble tea shop... but this place was unique.... stopped by after lunch and I went with their milk tea... I couldn't do 50% sweet, only at 75% sweet and I realized later why that's the case. The sweetness comes from the bubbles, instead of the milk like other joints - something new, unique. I also got their egg tart and it was good, not as good as ones in the motherland, but good. Their bubble teas were bit pricey, but worth a visit. read more

Their snacks are pretty delicious and have a homey taste as if your mother prepared it. + If you are apprehensive due to the mixed reviews, give the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken a go. + Their Portuguese egg tarts were okay; It satisfied the egg tart craving considering there isn't an Asian bakery in the area. + The Rose Milk Tea was surprisingly good (it didn't taste like soap). - Personally, I thought the Brown Sugar Pearl with Milk was way too sweet, but it is probably one of the most ordered items from their menu. - The only downfall of this place could be their crepe cakes; It's essentially just cream. Ambiance-wise, their music is loud and the chairs are, or were, white fabric. Every stain is visible and lots of black hair static-ed to the chair. read more
