5 Stars - Korean Fried Chicken, Boba, and a Surprise Lesson About Crystal Pearls…read more This was my second visit, and I was so excited to dig in that I completely forgot to take photos before eating. By the time I remembered, I had already finished most of the chicken and drank over half of my matcha milk tea! On my first visit, I tried the taro milk tea and loved it. This time, I ordered a matcha milk tea with bubbles at 30% sugar, along with a pineapple mojito (non-alcoholic) with crystal pearls. The matcha was smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet. The 30% sugar level was perfect for letting the matcha flavor shine. The pineapple mojito was refreshing, light, and sparkling. It was also my first experience trying crystal pearls. My initial reaction was that I didn't like them because they're smaller and firmer than traditional boba pearls. They almost reminded me of boba that wasn't cooked quite long enough. But the more I drank, the more I appreciated them. In a cold, sparkling drink, they actually work really well. The pearls add a little surprise after each sip and give you something to chew, making the drink last longer and feel more interactive. Now for the star of the show: the Korean fried chicken. As someone who is mostly pescatarian, I've been wanting to try Korean fried chicken for a while, and this was a great introduction. I ordered the 10-piece wings with sauces on the side, choosing Soy Garlic and Secret Spicy. The wings were huge, meaty, and incredibly crispy. The Soy Garlic had that perfect balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors. The Secret Spicy wasn't particularly spicy to me. I'd probably rename it Secret Sweet because that's the flavor profile that stood out most. What really impressed me was how well the chicken reheated. A quick trip through the air fryer made it even crispier than when I first brought it home. That's a rare quality in takeout fried chicken. If you're looking for a place that offers both excellent drinks and seriously satisfying Korean fried chicken, this spot is worth a visit. Whether you're a boba enthusiast, a fried chicken lover, or someone like me who enjoys trying new flavors and textures, you'll likely find something that keeps you coming back. I know I'll be back to work my way through more of the menu.

There's not a whole lot of seating, but the restaurant is also on the smaller side. Everything is packaged to be able to take to go though!

Yes it was busy but they kept the line moving. It's a really nice size inside, but you do have to find parking on the streets. I have visited a few times and they have been consistent with the drinks and service. The bathrooms were clean the two different times I've used them. I have three sisters so we have tried all sorts of their drinks and they are so good!! The Hawaiian short ribs were so good, everything on the Hawaiian menu is good. Had some make your own bowls in the past from a different location and the options are endless! Will be back, 10/10

I probably wouldn't have ordered anything if I knew this was going to be the case. But because the kiosks are right as you walk in, you don't know this until after. I ordered the strawberry coconut latte with coffee jelly. Drink was amazing. Honestly disappointed when they called for me to get my drink, no one made eye contact or said thank you. I feel like to make people feel good about coming in, maybe a little interaction would make it a better experience. I honestly don't think I'll be back in and this was my first time in probably over a year possibly more. I recall it being more welcoming and friendlier.

GOOD VIBES CAFE INDY is located on the 2nd FLOOR!…read more The coffee was absolutely delightful--rich, aromatic, and perfectly brewed. Each sip had a smooth balance of bold flavor and warmth that made it truly satisfying. Those home made croffles complemented the coffee wonderfully. Every piece was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The presentation was appealing, and you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. Overall, it was a great experience. Whether you're looking for a relaxing cup of coffee or a delicious meal, this place is definitely worth visiting.

I find…read moremyself making excuses to run errands on Washington Street just so I have an excuse to stop at Good Vibes! I know Good Vibes Cafe is known for their boba tea and "croffles," so of course I had to try one of each on my first visit! I love all the punny names of the boba drinks, mine was called "Pinky Swear," and another cute one is "Peach, Don't Kill My Vibe!" The Pinky Swear has a strawberry tea base with peach popping boba, and it's exactly what I order when I get boba at Harmony or Kung Fu Tea, so I knew I was going to like it! The "croffle" (a croissant in the waffle iron) is out-of-this-world delicious! It was the perfect balance of flaky and fluffy, and the Biscoff drizzle and fresh whipped cream made it even better. Now this is definitely not something that you can eat every day, but is a great occasional indulgence. On my most recent visit, I mixed it up and tried a coffee drink this time! I got the Biscoff latte, and it was literally perfect. The cup was lined with Biscoff cookie butter, and the rich espresso balanced out the sweetness and made it impossible to stop drinking. The only thing that would make this latte better would be if it came in a bigger size! One of my favorite things about Good Vibes is the half and half cup, where you can pick a drink for each side of the cup! It's a great way to enjoy everything Good Vibes had to offer without being forced to make a decision between two equally delicious drinks, plus it costs the same as a large drink! What's not to love? I definitely recommend Good Vibes Cafe, and don't be surprised if you see me there when you stop by!

There is also a station where you can play vintage games, like a small arcade game station. This place is super cute and has a variety of frozen yogurt selections and they change everyday. There are other options like boba tea, rolled ice cream, shakes, etc. but honestly I come for the frozen yogurt. They have probably more than 40 toppings so there is something for everyone. You can ask for small cups to try flavors if you want. When you're ready to fill your cup, you can select small or large. I tend to go big or go home. Frozen yogurt is by weight so fill up accordingly. I tend to mix a bunch of flavors that I like. I have been going here since it opened years ago. It's one of my favorite places for a sweet treat. They also have two different large tablet-like game tables that has maybe 100ish games that we love. Trouble is a classic! I hope this place is around forever and I recommend to everyone I know.

You did not greet me. You did not smile at me. You are a screen. But sure, let me consider my tip percentage. The drink itself was decent but not memorable. Would I go back? Probably not on purpose. That said, the vibe inside was surprisingly different from what I expected, in a good way, so points for that. Kids seem to absolutely love this place, which tells you something.

Five minutes later, I was pulling up to Tiger Sugar, hydration hero, reporting for duty! When I arrived, I scored a parking spot right in front, already winning! Only one person stood between me and my thirst, but let's be real: I'm so indecisive, I probably gave them time to finish their order and contemplate the meaning of life. I circled that menu like a vulture with commitment issues, but thankfully, the super-friendly lady behind the counter came to my rescue and steered me toward the passion fruit black tea. One sip, and it was a full-blown dance party in my mouth. I'm talking conga lines, disco balls, the works! This drink checked every box, though it was a bit on the sweet side, so next time I'll dial it down a notch. Not that I'm adventurous, I'm absolutely ordering the same thing on my next visit. Change is scary, okay? Go check them out. It's worth the drive to the Greenwood area.
