I was on a desperate search for boba. With the limited options I had when I searched on Yelp, this…read moreplace caught my eye. OHHHHH MYY WOWWWW! This place blew me away. You know, I've had all sorts of boba growing up, from instant powder to naturally brewed. So my standards change and adapt as I go. Being in NM for the weekend, I didn't really have high standards. But I was instantly shut down and am falling to my knees with how delicious their drinks are. I came with a couple of friends so we all got different things. Consequently, we got to sample everyone's and not a single drink was disappointing. Matcha is really over-represented compared to its hojicha partner. So of course, when I saw hojicha on the menu, I instantly ordered it. WOW!! It was already pre-sweetened but it was just right when milk and ice were added. Did I mention it's a family owned business? By a sweet Asian family at that. I love the AAPI representation and sharing our love for boba to the community. If I ever return to ABQ, I will be making sure to stop by here no matter how busy my itinerary gets. Thank you Tea Lab.

Whoever does their art is incredible! And every drink is so bomb, highly rec the secret menu online. Also, if you're going to order something, I prefer the blended drinks. Staff is overall pretty chill when I come in; they're not overly nice would definitely not rude. There's other stores in the city, but I do think going to this one is the best because I can always find parking.

This whole experience at this location was horrible. You have to order on the screen even though…read morethe people working weren't busy. After we order and pay for our 6 drinks on the screen she tells us they don't have boba or Thai tea. Then she proceeds to only make 5 of 6 of our drinks. After confusion on the order, she continues to gaslight us into thinking that we only ordered 5 drinks. We were forced to re-order and pay for the last drink. I found my online receipt and showed her I paid for 6 drinks. She still proceeded to fight us for a refund. Would not go back or recommend to anyone. The slushy taro wasn't even that good.

They are very student friendly, so they are super accommodating with pick up for students. Lots of seating inside for small or big groups. The pho here is yummy as well as the drinks! Their wintermelon is good, as well as their kumquat(might be seasonal!!). The owner is super into coffee and has an amazing cafe sua da(Vietnamese iced coffee) drink that they are super passionate about. I highly recommend if you are into coffee. If you're in the area give them a try and support this family owned restaurant!!!

However, I wasn't a big fan of it overall. It didn't have enough flavor, and something about the mix of ingredients wasn't my favorite. Even with ice cream, it seemed a little watery or something. I got a homemade caramel apple which was cute and tasty, but quite expensive for not being very big.

If you are in Albuquerque and craving a solid banh mi, CODA Bakery is a great spot to check out. I…read moreordered the classic banh mi dac biet, and it absolutely delivered. The cold cuts were flavorful, the bread was fresh, and the meat to bread ratio was just right since I like more meat than bread. This is an excellent option for a quick lunch, but I would recommend staying to eat if you can. The decor is simple, the space is clean, and there are a few tables available. It does get busy during the lunch rush, but the line moves quickly and is well worth the wait. While the banh mi definitely steals the show, there are plenty of other options on the menu. Their banh cuon, thin rice noodles filled with ground pork and wood ear mushrooms, was good, though still second to the sandwiches. They also offer pate chau, a flaky puff pastry filled with pork pate, including a New Mexico style version with chicken and green chile. They have a variety of Vietnamese desserts like che, which I did not get a chance to try this time. My coworker loved their traditional Vietnamese hot coffee. I do not drink coffee, but I did enjoy one of their smoothies, which was refreshing and delicious. Overall, CODA Bakery is a go to spot for authentic Vietnamese flavors and one of the best places in Albuquerque for banh mi.
