They are relatively new and serve coffee and items from mellobun bakery, which is what got my attention. I don't drink coffee, do this is just for the bakery side and the dining area. Inside is aesthetically pleasing and has a lot of cool art. They have decent seating. The coffee flavored are pretty interesting as well. I got a cookie to try and it was not bad. They ran out of other bakery items since I got here after the lunch rush, so other items must be good. Customer service was friendly as well. Quick service and the workers were hard at working making everyone's drink orders.

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.

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.

I love all the drinks! It's strong and not water down! They add more tea/coffee ingredients instead of water and milk. Perfect balance and combination with all the snacks. Super flavor and have Vietnamese influence in all their snacks and drinks. My favorite is the taro crispy rice cake, it's sooo good and something you can't find in other cafes/restaurants. All the drinks are definitely worth it and if you need adjustments with the sweetness they have options as well. For ambiance, have plenty of seating inside and some cute tables and chairs outside. It's a good place to hang out. The service is amazing, everyone's nice, friendly and super helpful if you need a breakdown of their menu. I am definitely coming back here. This is one of my favorite cafe spots in sactown

This review has been a long time coming. I've been frequenting this shop for years now and I've…read moresince put my whole family and some friends on it as well and everyone loves it! The all-around favorites are the mango pomelo and the Mango Tango (make sure to get it with jasmine tea and they also have a yogurt option if you like some extra tartness)! I think when mangoes are in season they also add fresh mango to the drinks which is a huge plus. I am also a huge milk tea fanatic and personally like my tea very strong without any hint of it being watery. My favorites are the Da Hong Pao and Osmanthus Oolong for extra floral freshness, both at 80% sweetness which is the perfect level imo for even a sweet tooth like me! Their boba is always cooked to the perfect chewiness and my only complaint is that I wish their milk teas had the option of coming in a larger size! The staff is always very cheerful and friendly, something that hasn't changed at all since they opened, which I really appreciate. The space itself is also very bright and spacious with plenty of seating and they also have lots of great snacks which makes it a good spot for hanging out. They also do lots of fun decorations and special events for holidays!

All the sandwiches were good but the bacon sandwich left a huge impact due to the fluffy eggs. The aioli they put on the sandwiches is amazing. One complaint is that they put so much arugula and some of them are uncooked so it's quite hard to chew and I ended up choking on some of them. Be prepared to wait for your sandwiches though. There's plenty of seatings inside and outside + lots of parking spaces. The cafe is super cute and they even have couches!

They are owned and run by Journey Church, which is why they are in a Church building and it gives lowkey church lobby vibes. The Coffee here is excellent, I personally love the one and one, which is an espresso shot and a cortado for around $4. Service is kind, informative, and helpful. My one critique is parking is pretty confusing. It's a little challenging to actually find the shop, but it's nothing you can't solve in 45 seconds if you're determined to get your caffeine fix.

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.

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 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.
