I love me some boba tea and when our family learned of An Ran Ju on our recent Big Bear visit, we…read morehad to pop in. The place may be unassuming, but we were met with the friendliest service (thanks Katie!) and a plethora of delicious tea choices! This place is not like your standard Americanized boba tea shop. They offer REAL teas, made from steeping and not relying on heavy artificial flavor powders. With that said, your drink, especially milk teas, will taste lighter than an Americanized boba tea. Honey is used primarily to sweeten the drinks as well. I absolutely appreciate this practice because I love tasting the actual tea flavor. I ordered the Pumpkin Harvest milk tea and it was DIVINE! My hubby ordered the Passion Fruit green tea and it was so good too! If you're wanting something sweet and more Americanized, we were told the smoothie drinks are made with flavor powders. Also, highly recommend their hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream. Delicious!

The selection of flavors was impressive, making it hard to choose. However, I decided on the Limoncello Sorbetto, and it turned out to be the perfect choice!

If you're in Big Bear and craving something fresh & sweet, definitely stop by A Ran Ju Gelato & Teahouse for a delightful treat!

We recently visited saucy mamas midweek and the food was good but our order came out wrong and then…read moreI kind of felt gypped on the garlic bread. But I'll start with what's good, pizza taste great. The vibe inside and out is great and service is good as well. Restaurant was clean and was appealing to all the senses. The bad we ordered a single topping 1/2 n 1/2 and when it came out they missed the 1/2 topping on one side. They took it back and just threw the missing topping and brought it back out. Obviously it didn't taste the same as if it was baked from the get go and was a little cold by the time they brought it back out. Now the garlic bread, just don't buy it. We ordered a two piece and I assumed it would be a half a French bread loaf. What came out was so disappointing that you could only laugh. I kid you not it looked like half a hot dog bun. Yup one side of a hot dog bun with garlic butter and a ketchup cup with sauce to dip it in. I do believe, I'd give them a second chance if I'm being honest but my first visit is the only mulligan they'll get. Next time I will not accept a pizza made incorrectly or order the garlic bread.

Quick stop before our drive back home to San Diego…read more Was fully expecting just a cafe but they have a full food menu, chill hip hop music playing, long tables with plenty of seating, kiosks. It was honestly a chill vibe on a Sunday morning. Most negative reviews are about specific experiences or communication with the staff but overall I'd say this is a really cool spot to come by for a casual breakfast or just coffee, if you're just ordering something quick and simple. They've got games like foosball, mini connect four and jenga if you're trying to hang out longer. Can't say much about how it is when this place is busy but our experience was great for a Sunday morning. Only got the viet coffee and a lemon loaf but the menu also had breakfast burritos, beef bulgogi bbq, and even pho! Wow. If we had more time I would have ordered more to eat. Loaf and viet coffee were good! They use La Viet beans for the coffee. Photos of that pho bowl impressed me. I'll definitely consider coming back :-)

We ordered a cake and cupcakes for our mother's 80th surprise birthday celebration weekend in Big…read moreBear via Los Angeles, and while the desserts were absolutely delicious, the experience itself was a bit of a roller coaster. A few days before the event, I called to order an 8-inch cake and was originally told I could order one and when I called back to put the order in I was told they couldn't make one because they had already baked several 6-inch and 7-inch cakes and needed to sell those first. They suggested purchasing a 7-inch cake along with cupcakes to ensure there was enough for everyone, which seemed reasonable, so we went ahead with their recommendation. We requested pastel decorations and birthday writing for the occasion, paid in advance, and arranged for pickup around 3:00 p.m. on the day of our 4:00 p.m. party. Unfortunately, when my sister arrived around 3:30 p.m., the cake still wasn't ready, causing a significant delay. She eventually received the cake and cupcakes and rushed back to our cabin, arriving late to the surprise party. Shortly after she got back, the bakery called me and informed us that they had accidentally given her the wrong cake and asked us to return it. The cake she received was beautiful, decorated with flowers and a lavender drip design, but it was the wrong flavor and a smaller size than what we had ordered. We were then told that our actual cake was still at the bakery, but it was completely plain white, with none of the pastel decorations or writing we had requested. At that point, the party had already started, and instead of greeting family and friends who had traveled from Los Angeles for this special occasion, we were dealing with a very stressful cake situation. To their credit, the bakery was kind and tried to make things right. They allowed us to keep the cake we had received and delivered additional cupcakes to compensate for the smaller size. Most importantly, every single dessert was delicious. The cake was moist, the cupcakes were fantastic, and everyone enjoyed them. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the lack of communication and apparent miscommunication among staff, which created a lot of unnecessary stress during a milestone celebration. The baked goods themselves were excellent, but I hope they can improve their organization and order management because the quality of their products truly deserves it.
