Inside is a nice size and they have seating to gather and visit. They have some unique signature coffee drinks but I went with a standard latte. I liked that they had 2% milk (so many places only have whole or non fat milk). Barista was super friendly/outgoing. You could tell she enjoyed her job. The coffee was probably 3 stars. It wasn't hot enough for me and Starbucks espresso is better. But with the great service I gave them 4 stars.

And the Dubai chocolate croffle was crispy, buttery, and pure dessert decadence. The vibes were clean and cozy, the staff were super friendly, and I already have my eye on their smoothies for next time. Mauritius Tea, you officially won me over!

This is a mid-sized boba tea shop that also sells waffles and mochi donuts! Their drink menu is…read morehuge-- with awesome customization options that include having no ice in your drink (a $.75 charge), and they sell a 24 oz size. The mochi donut flavors that I saw were : funnel cake, churro, taro, cookie butter, and coconut fudge. You can order using the self service kiosk and use Apple pay, which I prefer to do. Menu prices are about the same on DoorDash, which is great considering there are sometimes huge markups to balance out their fees. (Cost): $4.85 + tip (Location): It is in a very busy shopping area near Trader Joe's and Safeway. There is plenty of parking, but the area gets extremely packed, I prefer to park a bit away and then walk there. The area is very nice-- I would describe it has middle class to upper middle class. I love how beautifully decorated this shop is. Seating consists of a medium size couch, two benches, some seating by the widow l, and a table with 3 chairs. (Service): Excellent! Despite being busy working on items, the employee greeted me as I entered and was very polite when he gave me my order. What I didn't like was how rude one of the delivery drivers was. He greeted them and they simply shove their phones in his face without saying anything after yelling for him to come from the back. I hope drivers like that learn some manners or are removed from the shop. (Food): 16 oz Thai Tea Creme Brulee (5/5)-- according to the self checkout machine this drink is quite popular and I can see why! It was the perfect amount of sweetness, and the boba wasn't too soft or firm. I only wish I had gotten the bigger size.

Like the bright white lights because all photos that you take are clear and turn out nice. I like that it was all pink. I also like that there is a lot of parking spots as it is located by other shops, restaurants, etc. drinks were yummy and boba tasted just fine. Nothing that had me in awe as much as the decorations here. Service was okay. They were nice, but when asked questions about orders, they would just shrug. Not really knowledgeable on the menu, but maybe because we came late at the night before closing time, so staff was sleepy and ready to clock out. Kiosk is right next to the cashed desk, which I thought was inconvenient because if there were multiple people in line, it would be hard to differentiate with who was in which line

I don't make it to this coffee shop too terribly often... usually we are also looking for baked goods to nosh on while going to coffee shops but here it's straight up coffee... and that is okay! Since my original review seating has increased some which is nice. My last two recent visits here I was able to stay and hang out a bit. The folks that run the register as well as the ones that make the drinks are super nice and friendly which definitely gives one the feeling that they value your visit!

We picked from the summer menu, my husband got an Aloha Frappe, it was delicious, I got a Sunrise Spritzer (I think that's what it was called) it was like an energy refresher. I enjoyed it, it gave me a good morning boost!

Was asked, "do you want an extra shot? It's free shot Friday" and gladly accepted. Express was not bitter not rich and smooth either.

The drinks were solid I went with the Sakura strawberry matcha, which had a nice balance of floral and sweet without being overpowering. My wife got an Americano with coconut juice, which was unique and surprisingly refreshing. Service was great right from the start friendly, welcoming, and quick. You can tell they're putting effort into the customer experience even while still new. The space is what really stands out. It's clean, modern, and interactive they've got a photo machine where you can take pictures and pin them on the wall, plus chalk provided so you can write or leave messages on their blackboard-style walls. It gives the place a fun, community vibe that makes you want to hang out a bit longer. They also offer desserts, chips, and even have a drive-thru, which is a nice bonus for convenience. Restrooms were clean, which is always a plus.

Relatively new cafe spot in Tacoma! Their first day of soft opening was September 12. Not sure when…read moretheir grand opening will be yet since there is still a soft opening banner outside. There is a parking lot for the cafe. It's a a small parking lot and the cafe itself is small, too. There is some seating available and outlets! A cute, cozy place to study. I ordered an iced strawberry matcha with oat milk. My sister ordered the iced ube matcha with oat milk and a honey cake. The matcha was impressively very green. I didn't ask if it was ceremonial matcha. However, given how green the drink stayed after we mixed it, makes me assume it is ceremonial. Loved the strawberry matcha! Very sweet and strong! Service was great! The girl working was nice and made sure to confirm if I wanted an ice drink, the type of milk, and informed me that the oat milk was an extra charge. Will definitely be coming back to try more drinks soon!
