    Came here with my daughters for the Hello Kitty meet and greet event. Boba was great with an easy ordering kiosk service. Customer service was great as well. One of my daughters didn't like her initial choice and they were able to accommodate by making another drink of choice. Busy crowd at the time we went but they were still attentive to the customers needs. Great ambiance and family friendly too.

    First time visiting this location. Limited free parking in back. Along a strip of shops, a little questionable area but cute interior. There's so many choices for teas & toppings. Blended, iced, or extra large. Order at the kiosks next to the claw machines or at the front register. Little cozy sections to enjoy some tea with a friend. I ordered the same tea I've tried at other locations. This one seemed not as up to par flavor wise. Tasted like a different drink but still got the job done of quenching a thirst.

    First time at this location and the drinks are AMAZING ! You can really taste the quality and care in every sip. The flavors are well-balanced, and everything tastes super fresh. Not too sweet like other boba places that I have been to. The staff were so friendly, welcoming, and patient, which made the whole experience even better. But what I loved the most is the setup and decoration. Beautifully designed with such a lovely vibe -- perfect for hanging out or snapping cute photos Definitely one of my new favorite spots. Highly recommend checking it out if you love boba!

    Raw Xiuema

    Raw Xiu Mai Came in on monday 23rd around 8pm or so. Ordered a Hokkaido Milk Tea with boba. Milk tea was average and I could still taste the tea and would give it alone a 7.8/10 but the boba was old and was not chewy, it has that mush from sitting in the boba pot for too long. Ordered a bao bun and reheated it to eat and it was fine However when I heated up the xiu mai, the pork inside was still raw and I started dissecting the other pieces to see if it was raw as I had to spit the entire piece of xiu mai out and I'm not sure how you guys reheat this or make it back there but this should have never been raw. Xiu mai cooked should not be THIS pink. Will not be returning with this poor food prep, I could have seriously gotten food poisoning or an upset stomach.

    Updated Review: Since my original review, the owner responded on Yelp, kindly offering to remake the drinks, which we really appreciated. Update 1 - May 15, 2025: We returned to redeem the remake offer. The same girl who had made our drinks previously was working and kindly apologized. She remade the drink perfectly, just like the first time. Despite needing to return, I left happy! (: Update 2 - July 25-26, 2025: I tried their BOGO matcha promo and ordered the Matcha Cloud (coconut juice with matcha foam) and a $1 Jasmine Green Milk Tea. Both were amazing. The Matcha Cloud was sweet and refreshing, with creamy matcha foam that wasn't too overpowering. The Jasmine Milk Tea (0% sugar, no ice) was floral and strong, exactly my taste, especially with no added sweetener. Encouraged by this, I went back the next day (July 26), but my friend and I received incorrectly made Matcha Clouds, darker in color, not creamy at all, and completely different in taste. I politely asked for a remake, and the staff were very understanding and kind. They remade the drinks, which were much better the second time. Overall: I really enjoy the drinks at R&B Tea. Especially the CocoTwist, Matcha Cloud, Jasmine Green Milk Tea, and their Peach Yakult. However, consistency has been a recurring issue across a couple of visits. The team has always been kind and responsive, which I truly appreciate, but I hope quality control improves so customers don't have to worry about whether or not their drink will taste the same each time. Looking forward to coming back again! (:

    Best boba I've had in a long time and with such a welcoming atmosphere i will certainly come again!

    My son loves to come here for the boba. The set up is very cute. Parking is in the back and easy to access.

    I recently visited this milk tea shop and had such a great experience! The drinks were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced -- not overly sweet, which I really appreciate. You can really taste the quality of the tea, and the boba was soft and chewy just the way it should be.

    Came in for some late night coffee beverages and customer service was amazing ! They are so sweet & their drinks are delicious. We tried their sweetheart brew & love latte valentines special and both were so good ! They also have cute little board games to play while u sip & the ambience & decorations are adorable. Definitely will be back & recommend this place :)

    First time being here. Love this place. George was very helpful, friendly, and so kind. Very accommodating to all my questions. I was craving for something chocolaty with coffee ... He recommended the coffee stormy or the love latte (which is not on the menu, usually during valentines). So I got both since I was curious. To my surprise they were both delicious! So happy George recommended these two. Exactly what I needed for work. This will be my new fave boba place. Came during happy hour, so buy 1 get 1 1/2 off. Sweet deal. Thank you George! Best of luck with your upcoming program.

    It's a cute little place to grab a tea. They have a few seats and a great selection of drinks and snacks.

    My friend and I decided to take advantage of their happy hour (Monday through Wednesday 11 AM - 1 PM) where you can take advantage of their BOGO 50% deal. The interior is very clean, chairs are comfortable, and it's a great place to study. I loved all the natural lighting. They even provide free printing for customers! The wifi was a bit unstable at first, but was overall okay for the rest of our time there. The pack entrance is very cute and when you come in you can either order from a kiosk or with one of the employees. Ordering through the kiosk was super convenient, and you receive a text once your order has been confirmed and prepared. - Dragon fruit mango green tea, 30% ice, no added sugar, with aloe vera: I'm more of a milk tea gal but decided to try something different especially because of how pretty the drink looked. This was REALLY refreshing, and with no added sugar, it had the perfect amount of natural sweetness. The aloe vera topping paired nicely. I would definitely order this again! - Devil's booster, 50% ice, no added sugar, with lychee jelly: Even with no added sugar, this tea was naturally sweet because of all the fruit. I think it must be some kind of citrus green tea, but it was really refreshing. We waited for our drinks for a bit, but they had just opened so were probably just prepping and they apologized for the wait. They were really friendly and I overhead the staff patiently explaining what boba was to several customers who were trying boba for the first time. Prices are pretty standard. Will definitely be back!

    Watermelon stormy

    Got the watermelon stormy with cheese on accident but James came through and remade it without cheese, its really good! Thank you!

    Do you offer gluten free options?

    I believe all of their drinks are gluten-free, including the boba.

    Will you guys be getting winter melon flavored teas/drinks like the ones they have at some of the other R&B locations?

    Hi Jordan. We plan on offering winter melon tea in the next 1-2 months.

    I had a pleasant experience at Back to the Grind coffee shop as I was looking to get off the road…read moreto take a work meeting (traffic put me way behind my anticipated road schedule). I didn't want to enter any cafe very small/ with petite tables or judgement if I sat down for 1.5 hr to work on my computer. I bought a sausage croissant which was just ok, but still a nice quick breakfast item. I was able to sit in a comfy chair with an outlet source & table to conference in my meeting. I was left unbothered & comfortable the whole time, which I greatly appreciated. There are several lounge chairs, tables & areas to space out to work, read, lounge, etc! I would certainly return another day to try out their coffee menu and those earl grey lavender scones (wish I saw those first!!) The barista was kind & the atmosphere very pleasant!

    SERVICE here is VERY BAD!…read more The service at Back to the Grind was genuinely one of the most unprofessional customer service experiences I've had. While I was in the middle of placing my order, an older gentleman wearing glasses abruptly walked away from me mid-conversation to speak with someone he knew. No acknowledgment, no "I'll be right back," nothing. I was left standing there confused and waiting while they casually chatted amongst themselves. At the same time, my husband approached another employee -- a young woman with very long black hair and a pink bandana (see pic)-- simply to ask for the WiFi password. Without even looking at him, she told him he needed to "buy something first." When he explained that I was already ordering, she repeated herself in a dismissive tone and continued making sandwiches without making eye contact once. What stood out most wasn't just the lack of hospitality, but the overall attitude from multiple staff members. The environment felt cold, dismissive, and inconvenienced by customers being there at all. Ironically, the café advertises community classes like yoga and live meditation classes on the window, yet basic customer service and professionalism seem completely absent. The food itself was fine, which is why this review is specifically about the service experience. Even after how poorly we were treated, I still left a tip because I refuse to match that level of disrespect. Management seriously needs to address the customer service culture here. One rude interaction can happen anywhere -- but multiple employees displaying the same behavior reflects a larger issue.

How are people supposed to know how much things cost? If here is enough room to have the name of the product on it, it's not hard to put the number of dollars it costs right there next to it. I hateeeee when coffee shops do this! The coffee was an iced pistachio latte for $8.50, and various food items that we had no idea the totals until charged for the bill, I don't remember the exact number but I was kind of shocked at the total price of everything which I think was high $30s-40s? The interior was super cute with their red chairs and their story concept on the walls. The seats were comfortable and it was pretty crowded in the coffee shop with students and people working on their laptops. The food wasn't that good. For the prices we paid I kind of expected more, especially from that chicken roll item. The chicken was very dry and the flavors were lacking. It tasted like something you can get frozen from the stores that you just microwave or air fry.I enjoyed the cheesecake, but I didn't really like the pistachio milk cake, it tasted Joe they just mixed their milk solution with pistachio pudding powder (based off of the to bright/unnatural green color of it) and didn't flavor it with any real pistachio nuts. I enjoyed the coffee as well however I feel that the prices of everything was expensive especially when we didn't even know the prices of 3/4 of the things we purchased. I understand that we can ask how much each thing cost but how annoying would it be to ask about every single one. It would be very annoying and such a hassle for the cashier too. On the plus side parking is easy bc it shares it in a pretty big plaza. Another upside is that it's close to a ton of good food options in that area as well. ---- Overall: I wouldn't be back, expensive, don't know the price of their food bc none of it is listed out, and the food is hit or miss, interior decor is very cute tho

I must say I was hesitant to go here for a few reasons (none of them great, to be honest). First, the name--I didn't get the connection between "arcade" and "coffee" (then again what does that matter). Second, the location: it's in an odd building that doesn't scream typical coffee shop, with restricted and unusual parking. After overcoming these nonsensical, self-created mental barriers, we walked inside and saw that this is a sophisticated operation with wonderful products, employees, and a truly unique experience. When we entered, we saw a very nice menu with pictures showcasing the drinks and highlighting what makes each one special. The barista was super casual and friendly. She asked over the counter if we had any questions and told us to let her know when we were ready. Her welcoming approach was perfect for first-time visitors. We ordered the Mango Sticky Rice matcha and the Cherry Glaze matcha. Both were delicious, and it was clear that quality is a major focus here. The matchas weren't overloaded with syrup like some places; instead, they tasted naturally infused--subtle, balanced, and perfect. For snacks, we tried the salmon bagel and the blueberry scone. Both were excellent. The bagel was fresh and packed with flavor, again showcasing quality ingredients. The scone was one of the best I've had from a coffee shop--it tasted like it came straight from a bakery. The blueberries were large and bursting with flavor, and the texture was ideal: not too hard, not too soft. It was just right. (They should name it "Goldilocks"!) In addition to coffee, matcha, and chai tea, they also offer craft sodas and other choices for any mood. We decided to enjoy our drinks and snacks inside. As we sat, we noticed they have their own bean-roasting machine (totally unique!). I've never seen one in person, but for coffee lovers who enjoy fresh roasts, this means they bring in green coffee beans, roast them on-site, and produce the freshest, highest-quality product possible. (You could say "they have the beans" -- a little Curb Your Enthusiasm reference for fans of the show.) Aside from having "the beans," they also had a projector showing the World Cup. There are plenty of seating options: tables with chairs, standing desks, sofas, and benches. We will definitely be returning to this little slice of heaven on Earth.
