Literally no clue what was going on and staff were rude when we just asked for money back after waiting in the shop for another 10 minutes and being told they were working on it. If you're in a rush skip this place. Shame too because the menu looked nice for fast casual.

Cute boba tea shop with cute squirrel branding! The drinks are decent, but they aren't the most…read moreoptions and a lot of the ones they have are more fruity and less focused on the tea part of boba tea. Cute interior space, but most people when I was here were coming to pick up and/or take to go. Packaging was a bit lackluster and basically just clear cups with a paper sticker on them that dissolved in your hand as your cup became covered in condensation. But you can pay extra for their cuter designed reusable bottles, which ehhhh. I got one of their "Fijian" drinks with lychee jellies, which is like a full proper fruit drink since none of their milk tea options really excited me, and an Oreo smoothie for my boyfriend. We both liked ours and there's not a ton of other options in the area, so this'll do!

It was nice that they had some combinations of employees as a starting point or you could build your own. We split a bowl which was perfect for us. Also loved that she let us sample some of the bases before just jumping in. They also were able to accommodate our gluten free dietary needs and loved that it was dairy free- I have the sensitivity to that. It's a small little place, but what's nice is you can order your bowl and take it outside and enjoy the sunshine!

How have I not written a review for Scratch yet?! While they do have locations in Waterloo and Des…read moreMoines now, Cedar Falls is where they got their start. I must admit, for awhile there I got "Scratched out," and just wasn't interested in anything they offered. But lately, I just keep going back! They've branched out a little from the standard cupcakes, and I'm loving it. The other day, I had a cherry cobbler cupcake. It's best my all-time favorite so far. I love the cheesecake ones, the fudge ones, and anything in between. Props to Scratch for stepping out of their comfort zone because it is paying off! If you are in the area, or at one of their other locations, I would definitely recommend stopping in for a treat. Heck, get a dozen and share them with family and friends!

However it being my first time ever being in a scooters the cashier was very pushy like I was being a troublesome guest in the store. I simply had never been to a scoffers and had no idea what to order. I asked her about what sugar free options you had and she quickly rambled off that and said " well what do you usually drink" I told her and she just looked at me like then what do you want. I settled on an ice coffee there was no one behind me at the time so I was confused to her hurry and no one in the drive up at the time. I got my son a cake ball I think is what they are called personally I would put them on a stick or something because my kids eats with his hands and there was a big mess everywhere... again the coffee was great and want to try it again but just not feel like I was a issue for not knowing what I wanted. The employees where nice I just don't think they are use to people not knowing what they want or this one employee didn't know how to handle it.
