In a very unassuming strip mall, this cafe is a gem. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is mellow with tables, couches, and even massage chairs available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Board games and chess sets are available, giving the place a slow-paced vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a latte, which was delicious and piping hot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was easy to just sit, sip, and enjoy my moment away from the rest of the world.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

It's a really relaxing way to take a lunch break. I really enjoy the service from the wonderful women at the counter running around helping everyone herself. The cheesecake was perfect and smoothie was very customizable. Amazing lounge area btw. read more

So I don't understand why people put a menu and then tell you that menu is not right. Even menu on counter, which they say you must order off of, say the same as on the wall. I am sure it is just a miss understating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place looks nice very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Actually a large place for lots of people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I'm sure there is free WiFi as I see people sitting in the back on their laptops.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quiet place to sit and relax.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They do have wifi and the password made me laugh.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Lala Bean & Green Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I come here when I want to feel frustrated lol All jokes aside, this place is very inconsistent. First experience, I asked what was the difference between the Okinawa and the Hokkaido. There were no descriptions of the drinks - no ingredients listed. The girl proceeds to give me a history lesson of Okinawa and Hokkaido. I thank her, but then ask again what is the difference in the drinks and she doesn't understand me. Another girl comes over and says one is sweeter than the other. I chose the less sweet one. Next time I go back, I order the same beverage. Now I taste coconut. This girl tells me there is coconut milk in the drink. Well, I can't drink coconut milk and almost panic... My husband orders his drink and every time we go - he orders the same drink and it is made a different way each time. One girl says it has brown sugar, the other guy says its caramel...we both don't know if it's brown sugar or caramel - it depends on who is working. So...there is a big language barrier, the service is spotty, and the menu does not list the ingredients in the drinks lol [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a huge space and offer Karaoke and game night - I have not been to either[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. The drinks are good, but be warned you may not received the same drink when you return. Also, be careful if you have an allergy because they may serve you something you're allergic to. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a great cafe![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came in on a whim and the owner was so sweet and friendly. I had the iced americano and an açaí bowl which were both delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was looking for a cozy cafe to do some work and relax and this is absolutely the place for both.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely be back soon! read more

I'm obsessed with Lala Bean & Green Cafe. It's pretty much everything I look for at a cafe. Good selection of drinks and something savory and sweet to eat. It's also clean, with lots of parking and space to sit that I never have to worry about not having space to sit and chill. Great family feel staff! It's also open early in the morning everyday and stays open til evening time! I also think the place is so affordable! You can get a combo drink and a sandwich, bagel, sweet for just $8. What more? They have a frequent customer card that gives you perks every 5 drinks. I have no idea how this place stays open with so many nice things for it's customers..I only wish it stays open so I can continue to stop by here to relax for a long time! read more

Apparently this place has been here for a couple of years now but I never really noticed it. So glad I took the chance to stop in! The selection of coffee/tea was great. They had regular coffees, a variety of boba options, and also milk teas and even thai tea! I will definitely have to go back to try the thai tea but it was a super chilly morning so that was not in the cards on this visit. I tried the macha coffee on a whim and it was even better than I expected. I will have to go back and try the food options also. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a great space with some tables and a back room that would make a good space to work quietly, play some board games or work in a group.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were also super friendly. One caveat is that this is not going to be your super quick coffee stop. Things are certainly made with care and take a bit of time. That said, definitely stop in and check it out!! read more

I came here to work on my application for med school. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the atmosphere. There weren't a lot of people so it was nice and quiet to get my work done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got a drink and it was less than 5 dollars and was pretty good. I was there for a while and the sweet lady up front brought a water to me without me even asking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Free WiFi and was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will be coming back! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A hidden away peaceful cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is so nice with a great $8 option of any drink and dessert or muffin. It's really a deal you can't beat. I got a Thai tea and a tiramisu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Had a peaceful time inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Very sweet and fun place to stop in and have a beverage or a snack. The inside is pretty large with lots of convenient tables. There are even electric massage chairs you can pay to use. I had a boba and a muffin and my friend had a boba and acai bowl and we had a nice time visiting in a quiet and private table secluded in the back, it was great. The table we sat at even had electric outlets to power devices, I thought that was a nice touch. The staff was very friendly and kind. read more

Great spot for bubble tea! The facility is actually really large, so a great gathering spot. Ample seating, massage chairs available for a cost, games, and even the ability to rent a karaoke area! I got a matcha smoothie with coffee jelly and it was delicious. I went with a colleague and she got a coffee based drink. She mentioned hers tasted a bit like alternative sugar vs a normal flavored drink. I'd love to stop back again for a WFH morning! read more

Decided to stop in at this cafe because I was in need of some caffeine. They have smoothies, coffee drinks, boba drinks, and lots of food items! The first thing I noticed though when walking in was the bright, comforting atmosphere. There is so much space for meetings or study groups, events like Karaoke on weekends, and a relaxing area with massage tables. I ordered a honeydew smoothie. It was creamy and only had 4 ingredients: honeydew, apples, ice, and almond milk! So healthy and delicious!! The hostess was so friendly, showing me around and talking with excitement over the things they have in the works like partnerships with local artists, BBQ nights, and much more. They gave me a free sample of a smoothie and a free hotdog sample. It was so warm and welcoming. read more

Lala Cafe is a boba and coffee shop located on Montgomery and San Pedro. The inside is a large space - plenty of room for larger groups and a pleasant area overall for casual hangouts. The boba was quite good and available in a variety of sweetness levels. My taro milk tea was perfect at 25% sweetness. My wife ordered a latte which was made well. They have a variety of non-dairy options such as almond and oat milk. They have a few baked goods and sandwiches available but we did not try them. The service was overall good, although they did get one of our drink orders wrong. I would definitely return and get some more tea from this store! read more

Happy and surprised with the interior of the café, which is spacious and there's room between the tables so that you can have your own space while enjoying your coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's also a back area that is separated off so you could study and not have to deal with noise.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a large selection of coffees and tea, and you know fru-fru drinks. I'm a straight up coffee with a shot of espresso guy and I'm happy with the coffee that they gave me. They also have a nice selection of desserts. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of room to enjoy your drink with friends or do a little work on your laptop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Friendly, quick service. Great prices. Lots of choices. They do offer a limited sandwich menu and a selection of desserts. read more

Nice big space(like there is a baby grand piano that does not feel like its even encroaching) , tasty boba with the option of no added sugar. has the a fore mentioned baby grand piano and massage chairs.. Sandwiches were good, nothing ground breaking, But all in all tasty protein fix. They also have pastries, and ice cream. and you can rent time in a massage lazy boy. They alos have 2 couch corners, and many granite topped tables that have unfortunate leg construction, but still ok to sit at and read for a while. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute little coffee shop would come back again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the vanilla latte and it was very good!

This place isn't a real coffee shop and the açaí bowl wasn't good either. Maybe the tea is good but do not recommend coffee from here.

Came here to have a boba tea and I highly recommend this business, the owners are super friendly and lovely. Good seating for people doing homework and bringing a group of friends! read more

Went here for the first time on a weekday morning. Absolutely lovely location with so much thought put into the details. Perfect for sitting with my friend. The americano was fantastic, as was the cheesecake. Very kind staff. There's lots and lots of seating, so we didn't feel rushed. This seems perfect for so many reasons. Good place to be with friends, play foosball or play one of the board games set out; or find a quiet corner to read or work. Will most definitely return. read more

Place is super cute and has so much potential. Then I ordered. Tried to ask questions, but employees spoke little English. Ordered two hot cocoas, one with Oat milk. Was awful! Think milk spoiled? Regular one was bitter, like cocoa powder added to milk. Should have wondered when place was empty! read more

A great place to escape for a bit.A large, clean space with room for a bunch of friends or if you need alone time. The staff is super friendly, a plus considering the surly workers out there. I am looking forward to trying a massage chair. read more

Boba is delicious, great seating options. Workers are friendly. This is a great place to study since it has wifi!

The coffee is good, but I don't think I will return. I was excited about this place when I first discovered it, but that didn't last for long. For one thing, I never know how much I will be charged for a cup of coffee with cream there. It has been as low as $2, and as high as $4.50. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it, just purely random. Secondly, the staff is VERY aggressive when it comes to upselling things. You can tell them you're not hungry. You can tell them you just ate. Will that stop them from making yet another attempt at upselling you on something? Absolutely not, and this made me both angry and uncomfortable last time I was in. Another thing I want to touch on is their massage chairs. They're very nice chairs, and the rates are reasonable. However, I have found that I can't relax and enjoy a massage there. Why? Because the owner stares at me the whole time I am in the chair which makes me feel uncomfortable and gives me creepy vibes. So, if you're seeking a massage chair, I recommend the malls. Even with hoards of people walking by, you're far more likely to feel at ease. read more
