I was in the area for a doctor's appointment and needed a quick coffee fix. When a spot popped up…read moreon Yelp with some great photos, I figured I'd give it a try. Parking ended up being a bit of a walk, which had me second-guessing the decision at first--but I'm glad I stuck with it. The moment I walked in, the space felt thoughtfully designed. The flow of the café is one of the best I've experienced--open, comfortable, and easy to navigate. As soon as the door opened, the barista greeted me right away. The counter is positioned close enough that you don't feel awkward hovering like in some cafés where the bar feels miles away. It immediately felt welcoming. I visited on a weekend during a slower period, but since the café sits right next to a college, I can imagine the line spilling out the door during peak hours. At quieter times though, the layout works well--there's enough space for a couple people to wait without crowding the entrance. I ordered a cortado and an almond croissant. The croissant came warmed, and the texture was spot on: fluffy, layered, and not overly greasy. The almond filling had a really nice balance--nutty with just enough sweetness and a hint of salt to round it out. I was told the pastries are made in-house, and it definitely shows. It tasted like something made with care. The cortado itself was solid--pretty classic, nothing overly fancy. One thoughtful touch I appreciated was that it came with sparkling water, which was great for cleansing the palate. The space itself is fairly spacious and works well if you want a quiet moment to sip your coffee. That said, most of the seating is high stools, so it doesn't really feel like the type of place to settle in and study for hours. Overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, service, and quality of the food. The one thing that caught me off guard was the price of the croissant at $6.50. It tasted great and I understand prices in this area tend to run higher, especially for house-made pastries--but it's a bit outside what I'd usually spend. So while I definitely think it's good, it might not become a regular stop for me simply due to location and budget. Still, a great find and a pleasant surprise during a routine coffee run.

The service is very friendly and opening while being quick enough that you don't feel like your waiting for over 10 minutes for one drink (be mindful tho, it does get very busy from time to time). The store has a few claw machine that make it feel like you have to stand in a corner while you wait for your order and it's a fun activity for keeping any children calm while they wait for there own food or drinks, and speaking of the food, there chicken is very nicely cooked keeping moist while also crunchier then any other chicken I've had before. there selections for drinks is almost 100% customizable so you can really make the perfect boba drink for yourself and those around you. I would highly recommend checking out this store if your ever in the area, you will not regret it.

Great limited variety of drinks and desserts, not too overwhelming. I look forward to trying more items next time, crepes, and shaved ice. They have soft serve ice cream- earl Grey and royal tea, though machine is not in function until the summer (per person working there). The drinks are not too sweet, Asian style, just right for me. ** soy milk- just like childhood, would we even better if they had Chinese donuts to eat with it. ** M1 royal milk tea with black sugar boba- neat presentation. Tea, not sweet + boba, slightly sweeter than usual = great balance. Service- nice, straight forward. No line, got drinks within minutes. They have a loyalty card- 10th visit you get 20% off. Ambiance- clean style area, casual location to chill. Value - Fair. Example- crepe cakes are $7.99/thick slice and mango sago $6.50, milk tea with boba $4.99 are fair market prices. Location- next to dim sum factory, across from old location of Kid's museum. Plenty of parking. Recommend- most absolutely if you're in Factoria marketplace, and in the area!

A Molly Tea in walking distance is a wee bit dangerous!…read more We recently landed in the area and were stoked to find that Molly Tea was part of the neighborhood! It's always a solid choice- strong teas and great drinks all done super well. My go-to is usually their Premium Jasmine Milk Tea. The tea flavor is fragrant, floral, and always shines through! This location is pretty big with some seating if you wanted to lounge around. However, as with all Molly Teas, it can get busyyyy.

I've heard so much praise about Molly Tea, and now that the hype has finally died down, I came in…read moreto try some! For my first visit, I got the snowy jasmine. I absolutely loved the tea flavor, It's strong, floral, and fragrant, something you don't often see. The whipped cream was light, airy, and had a subtle jasmine flavor that really elevated the drink as a whole. I was worried it would be overrated and overpriced, but you can definitely taste the quality difference in the ingredients they use. The drinks alone are honestly a 5/5 for me. One thing that did rub me the wrong way was the service. Despite coming in on a fairly quiet day, there were a few staff members who (in my opinion) acted a bit disrespectful towards other customers. When you come into the store, there's a big order sign at the front of the booth, so most would assume to order from there. On the other side of the store though are two kiosks which make ordering simpler, so I guess they weren't using the actual order booth. I noticed that a line of customers had formed at the order booth but none of the staff were really interacting with them or telling them to use the kiosk instead. They were all kinda just chatting with one another and only alerted them about the kiosk once a customer asked for their attention. Not the most efficient process or positive interaction in my opinion. Despite all that though, the tea is definitely good enough for me to come back.

My colleagues and I came here for a drink and were pleased that for my friend's birthday, they allowed him to get free toppings for his order. I ordered a mango smoothie with the cheese foam and loved it! The fresh mango pieces were refreshing and the cheese foam has that salty goodness to contrast with the sweet fruit. I'm always pleased with whatever drink I get at Don't Yell At Me. In addition to drinks, they also sell Japanese sandwiches and some merchandise. I'm a fan.
