On a sunny day like today, I was glad there was plenty of shaded areas to sit while watching my kid play inside the gated park. I had a vanilla latte with oat milk and almond croissant. Both were really good. The baristas were really nice too. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a new place to take your kids for a playdate or just to grab some coffee!

Good foundations, but not for me…read more Let's start from the beginning. Parking was confusing, didn't realize it was in a church and there wasn't really obvious signage from the parking lot that you're in the right spot. I had to look at the other review pictures to be like okay, I am here. Interior is cute and modern, but lacking that lived in feel I prefer for coffee shops. Service was quick. The coffee itself seems to lean towards biblical (lol?) food items. Think olive oil, dates, tahini, honey. I got the Tahini Einspanner because how fun, I can get some tastes of tahini and date but the whip and syrup didn't mix well into the drink despite me aggressively trying so it just lasted like a $7 plain latte. I almost had to bite the whip because it was so thick. Seems like they're using quality ingredients so the intention is there, the executions needs some refinement.

Came here on a Monday afternoon to get my Taro Boba fix on. The store was quite and my service was…read morefast. I love the fact that I could customize the sweet factor of my drink that's always a plus! The taro was delish and refreshing with just the right amount of boba. Lots of space and visual stimulus as well as games and things to keep you occupied and entertained. I can see this being a great after school hang out for the young crowd. Lots of delish snacks and treats. Fries, Mozarella sticks and such. The counter display of legos and minis was my favorite part.

I say that because there…read morewas some background music happening that was loud enough to hear but didn't interrupt anyone having a conversation. Also I mentioned it in my pictures they have these cute trinkets and displays along the counter that are just fabulous. It definitely brings a sense of childlike whimsy that made me have a big old smile. For the service, I was greeted warmly when I approached the cash register and I had a few questions regarding some of the teas. The individual behind the register answered them very thoroughly and gave me a recommendation which I took. I got a Okinawa milk tea and then adjusted the sugar and added some boba to it. In addition there was these little trinkets that we're near the cash register that I decided to buy. It was a mystery pack situation and I am a big fan of doing those cuz I like a nice little surprise. The tea I got was well done. And I say that because I'm an individual that really likes to taste my tea when I get boba style drinks. So this definitely had the taste of the tea that I wanted and the sweetness level which was 30% was just right to enhance the flavors. I stayed there for about an hour just hanging out there were a few other individuals that came in and took orders to go and maybe two other tables that were seated while I was there. It does look like a lot of mobile orders come through and the local high school kids were going through there quite a bit. So if you're in the area give it a try and maybe even get a little mystery prize while you're there.

I've been to Tea Again twice and each time has been pleasant…read more Pros" lots of parking!!! Always a HUGE plus. cute, clean and asthetic decor inside - such warm and calm vibes there's a kiosk to order your drinks. From my experience, although I ordered from a kiosk... the workers still took the time to chat with me and my husband as we walked in, while we waited, and after they were finished with our drinks. Staff is friendly here even while they are busy perfecting our drinks drinks aren't too sweet which i love! I've tried their strawberry matcha and its one of the best I've had. Not too sweet and not too bitter! I also tried their jazzy limeade! Its a unique and refreshing tea perfect for the summer. If you get this drink.. be aware it may seem bitter to people because of its unique flavoring profiles. Get it 75% sweetness and once your ice melts a bit .. the drink is super tasty, unique and refreshing!! they also serve sweet taiyako with unique filling flavors! Idk how they do it but it always comes out super crispy. I've tried these at other dessert spots and always get really soggy or soft taiyakis so I was so shocked how crispy and fresh these were. They do make it on the spot in front of you so maybe that's why?! Or their batter is just high quality. Whatever it is.. im not complaining! This has been my new go to boba spots in Elk Grove! I highly recommend if you're looking for a place to hangout/catch up with friends, get some work done, or just need a yummy treat.

My friend and I stopped by Tea Again and both ordered strawberry matchas since that's usually our…read morego-to drink and something we're always excited to try at new places. Unfortunately, this one just didn't quite hit the mark for either of us. The matcha flavor was very mild and almost tasted watered down. We both found ourselves wishing for more of that earthy matcha flavor to come through. The strawberry portion also wasn't what we were expecting. I tend to prefer drinks made with fresh or macerated strawberries, and this tasted more like a strawberry jam or puree. If that's your thing, you may enjoy it, but for me it just wasn't my jam. Literally. My friend and I also shared a chicken sandwich. It was okay, but nothing really stood out about it. I found myself wondering what type of chicken was used because the texture wasn't what I expected. It almost reminded me of either canned chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken, but I wasn't entirely sure. The café itself was pleasant enough, and there wasn't anything specifically wrong with the experience. We just both walked away feeling a little underwhelmed overall. Helpful tip: If you're a big matcha fan and prefer a stronger matcha flavor, you may want to ask if they can make it with an extra scoop. Unfortunately, neither the drinks nor the food really wowed us, and with so many great tea and matcha spots around Elk Grove, I'm not sure this would be one we'd rush back to.

We recently stopped by Cafe La Vies and ended up having such a fun experience…read more I ordered the banana matcha, which was absolutely delicious. The banana flavor paired surprisingly well with the matcha and made for a really refreshing drink. It was one of those drinks that I immediately knew I'd order again. But honestly, the highlight wasn't even the drink itself. It was the adorable little elephant vessel it came with. They put dry ice inside and then pour water into it, making it look like the elephant is blowing smoke out of its trunk. My daughter was completely mesmerized. Watching her reaction was worth the visit all by itself. What I loved most was that it wasn't just a gimmick. The drink was actually good, and the elephant made such a cute keepsake afterward. It felt like getting both a treat and a souvenir. The café itself had a fun atmosphere, and it was one of those places that felt a little different from your typical coffee or tea stop. Helpful tip: If it's your first visit, order one of the drinks served in the elephant. The presentation alone is worth it, especially if you're visiting with kids. Between the banana matcha and my daughter's excitement over the smoking elephant, this ended up being one of those unexpectedly memorable stops we'll be talking about for a while.

I was excited…read morebecause I've been seeing it advertised all over IG and then all the signs and what not in the store. I walk up to the counter and asked for the Mango Sticky Rice and the guy who helped me, idk what his name is had an attitude and was like we're out of it. I'm thinking to myself, sooo if you KNOW you're of something that's popular and on the menu, maybe you should put a sign somewhere stating that it's currently NOT AVAILABLE. Then I had to call back home to let my siblings know that the initial drink they wanted was not available, so they can choose something else and again the guy taking the order wad annoyed. My siblings decided upon the Mangonada with brown sugar boba and the iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha. Unfortunately, brown sugar boba was not available was all out for the day according to the cashier.. but no sign stating that they were sold out. I had to call my siblings again to let them know and ask if they wanted crystal boba as a replacement. To keep the order going while I was calling them, I asked for a mochi waffle and the guy threw his hands up annoyed and was like do you not want the boba for drink? I told the cashier I'll have the crystal boba instead of the brown sugar since it's currently unavailable, and the guy goes with an attitude... soo do you want the crystal boba? I said yess...yes I do. The Iced Dubai Chocolate Matcha was alrightt. It is definitely not all that it is hyped up to be. The drink IMO was just a basic iced matcha with chocolate drizzle on the side of the cup and the pistachio foam that barely tasted like pistachio.

Went here for some silly drinks with my partner and some pastries on a Saturday afternoon. It's a…read moremedium sized establishment with minimal seating. It's somewhat hidden since the door is literally behind a pillar. It's a bright and welcoming cafe with a colorful menu, merch, and pastures. They only serve pastries over the weekend I believe since they collab with bakers. I got their crème brûlée which was a nice dark roast flavor for a good caffeine boost. I got their pandan salt bread and had so much pandan filling it that complimented the salt content. Great experience! Would come again to try more drinks.

I was craving a banana coffee, so I decided to check out this spot. Even though it wasn't on the…read moremenu, they were kind enough to make one for me. The coffee itself was very strong, which made the banana flavor hard to notice. It was topped with a cookie crumble that tasted good, but it made the drink difficult to sip without a straw. If you take your time finishing your drink, the crumble can get a bit soggy by the end. Overall, the coffee was good, but I'm not sure it was worth the nearly $9 price tag They also sell salt bread here. I didn't try any this visit, but I'd be interested in giving it a shot next time. The space has limited seating, so it could be difficult to find a spot to wait during busy times without getting in the way. On the plus side, my drink was prepared quickly.

I finally got a chance to try the second Tea Percent Elk Grove location. I'm a regular customer of…read morethe first location on EG Florin Rd and Midtown location. This location has snacks, desserts, and tables to dine in. Very different than other locations. We got our usual drinks. Mango Passion Fruit Tea and Mango Yogurt. Both very good - just like the other locations. I've ordered these drinks so many time that I have my preferences down! LOL. They have been very consistent with their drinks. Popcorn Chicken is a MUST order. Each pieces are cut to the perfect bite size. The chicken is tender with very savory seasoning and fried to perfection. I don't recommend the lobster balls. It's imitation lobster fish ball (the ones at hot pot) lightly battered and fried. I was too stubborn to listen to my son to skip it. Quick service. Nice space to work and hang out with friends. It was pretty busy on Sunday afternoon.

A solid stop if you're in the area and looking for a colorful boba fix.

If you're able to get a comfy seat or table, it's a great study spot as well. Never had a problem with service and drinks come out pretty quick.

When I asked, "Is this the medium?" the barista stumbled over his words and said they were "new medium cups." You can see other reviews less than a month ago, and the cups were more substantial...
