Rao's Bakery and Cafe on Dowlen is a midsized restaurant with ample parking in front. There is an…read moreinviting old fashioned atmosphere, pay for orders at counter then given a table number, friendly staff bring meals to tables, large display of baked goods and home gifts for purchase. I enjoyed 1/2 cup of Tomato Soup- one of their soups of the day, and a 1/2 Pesto, Turkey, bacon, and Swiss cheese on wheat sandwich. Both were a delicious combination. Arrived at lunch, they'd already ran out of their muffato. I thought it unusual since they are a bakery. There are multiple locations available. Service is slower for large groups. Recommend calling ahead first for groups of 10+. Met Beck Riviera, Folded Book Artist. He purchases used books for $1 and crafts artwork for the page edges. The papers strewn on the table represent his carefully crafted blueprints. He shared mastering this craft took lots of trial and error. Zoom in on his business card on the table for his contact info.

It had the perfect amount of sweetness and I could taste the brown sugar cinnamon flavoring. I also tried their triple chocolate cookie which was pretty big to share with another person and that was good as well. The cookie has a good chew to it with the chocolate chips and overall was a solid cookie. The shop is super cute and there is quite a bit of seating both inside and outside. Great addition to Groves, and would stop by again!

Had a chance to check out Beaumont's new bubble tea spot, Kung Fu Tea (which is a popular national…read morechain)!Upon first entering the store, I was greeted by the front staff and was pleasantly surprised with the interior space. There was plenty of room and everything felt clean and organized! I decided to go with the classic Black Milk Tea with boba and everything tasted perfect to my tasting! Beaumont's local boba choices tend to either have no flavor or uncooked boba but the great thing is that KFT tends to be consistent. I'm glad they were able to bring this to Beaumont instead of driving all the way to mid-county, and I can see this being a popular spot for outings with friends! Plus they have board games in the back that you can play with. The nice thing also is that there is plenty of parking and have other stores nearby that you can stop by and visit. Next time you are craving a drink, be sure to stop by as they have options for everyone! Also download the app if you want to get points for free drinks and/or toppings

The bubble tea scene in Beaumont has been slightly lacking for the past few years, so I was…read moreincredibly excited to hear that a Kung Fu Tea location was opening up! Kung Fu Tea has always been a reliable boba chain for me regardless of whatever city I'm in, so I'm happy to say that this Beaumont location is just as good as it is in Houston and in Austin! Regarding location, this newly opened shop can be found along Dowlen Road in one of the suites near Kroger and Starbucks. Because it is within a shopping complex/strip, there is always an ample amount of parking space no matter what time of day. Once you're inside, you can immediately feel how spacious and clean the shop is. The ambiance is pleasant and relaxed, the interior decor is modern yet practical and comfortable, and there's a good amount of natural light if you ever want to use the space to study--there's also free WiFi! Speaking of space, I find that this location would be a great place for any student organizations who may want to host a social event because the shop is roomy and has a decent amount of seating. In terms of service, I ended up ordering four different drinks: Kung Fu Milk Tea, Mango Snow, Taro Slush, and a Matcha Red Bean Slush. The workers were both helpful and friendly in taking our drink orders and knew how to make the drinks quickly and efficiently. The drinks themselves tasted great and the tapioca pearls (boba) were perfectly cooked and had the right amount of sweetness. Overall, the quality of the drinks and service were impeccable and I highly recommend this place for your boba cravings. P.S. Make an account with the Kung Fu Tea app so you can scan and get rewards!
