It turns out they charged my card 5 times ($110) even though they did not actually process the order, and i have to wait to see if I will get a refund. I can't tell if it's because I was trying to redeem rewards or what but why say "please try again" in your message if it's just going to take more money and still not work? There also is no way to contact the company, just the reps working in the store. I am still hungry, $110 poorer, and extremely annoyed.

I want to try a cappuccino next time. Or Turkish coffee. Baklava was FRESH like I watched them finish the tray and set it in the display case. I got the very first slice. DELICIOUS. Of course you need the house baklava. Worth the trip on the 81!! Cute surroundings

There is a robust menu of coffee and tea options, and the cases show off baklava, baked goods, and beautiful desserts. There is plenty of seating as well. I ordered the cinnamon honey latte, and it was great. I would have preferred 2% milk to whole, but they only offer whole milk and milk alternatives (almond, oat, and soy). After doing an hour or so of work, I spied a nearby customer enjoying the lentil soup, a fave of mine. It looked like it was served with a couple nicely toasted slices of bread, which put me over the edge. I ordered it. It came with a large lemon wedge and... a cold ciabatta roll (the kind you usually see used for a toasted caprese sandwich). Sadly, it wasn't very appetizing, so went to waste, The soup was great, though! The place was busy during the 2 hours I spent there, and I hope it continues!

I got a small drink and it came out to be 7 something I thought it would be $5.50. That's one thing that I caught as well. Make this place your go to for your boba cravings!!

Has a surprisingly varied menu. There's empanadas at lunch if wanting hot stuff. Because it was breakfast we got some of the smoothies and bowls. It's about $7 for a smoothie which isn't that bad for around here. The one I got was the Kale Colada Smoothie. It's green. This is made with bananas, coconut, kale, pineapple, and spinach. It's about $9 for bowls. We got a couple of these. Best one was the Sunny Bowl. This is made with acerola, apple juice, apples, bananas, and mangos. This is topped with apples, bananas, coconut flakes, granola, honey which I left off, and mangos. Good but it just wasn't enough. It's small portions for the prices.

The ladies at the counter were nice and had our drinks our pretty quick. Would love to come back! One thing I'll add is that it's street parking. We had no trouble with that.

The place is self-service, and there are only about four seating spots inside, so it feels more like a quick in-and-out lunch place than a sit-down restaurant.

It's the kind of place that feels welcoming whether you're meeting friends for a relaxed dinner or just stopping in because you're craving something flavorful and different. The menu is what really makes this place stand out. There's a creative mix of Vietnamese-inspired dishes and modern fusion options, and everything tastes intentional. The ingredients are fresh, the herbs are vibrant, and the flavors are layered without feeling heavy. I appreciated how balanced everything was -- nothing overly greasy or overwhelming, just clean, bright flavors that keep you going back for another bite. Even the presentation shows care, which adds to the overall experience. The drink selection is just as impressive. Whether you're in the mood for something refreshing and fruity or a more classic option, they've clearly put thought into crafting beverages that complement the food. It's not just an afterthought -- it's part of the experience. Service was another highlight. The staff were genuinely friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and quick to offer recommendations when I asked. They checked in often enough to make sure everything was perfect but never hovered or rushed us. That balance is rare and really appreciated. Overall, BAMBU delivers more than just a meal -- it delivers a full experience. Great atmosphere, flavorful food, solid drinks, and attentive service. I'll absolutely be back, and I'll be bringing friends next time.
