I had some friends in town from San Antonio and they needed to charge their Tesla. We ended up at…read moreArizona Mills mall for a bit while we were waiting on their car to charge. Tea & Crepes is located inside the mall, and funny enough, they have two locations. One is in the food court itself and the other is close to the food court (and is a bit smaller). We checked out the latter for some bubble tea. Ambiance (N/A): Since it's essentially a stand in a mall, this is a grab-and-go type of place. Service (4/5): Service doesn't come into play much when ordering boba. You order at the counter, pay, and then your beverage will be ready soon. Like most bubble tea spots, you can choose your ice level and sweetness level. Given the sweetness level I selected, it would have changed the flavor profile of my tea significantly so the cashier informed me of this. This was helpful to make sure I made the best decision. Food (N/A): They do have crepes as the name indicates but I only ended up ordering a drink on this visit. Drinks (4/5): Pretty good selection of bubble tea, consist with other bubble tea businesses. I tend to gravitate to fruity teas and that's what I went through. A peach green tea, to be exact. They were out of crystal boba, and one or two other mix-ins, which was a bit of a bummer, but I made the most of it. I ended up going with mango popping boba which was just as solid as the crystal boba I originally wanted. If you're looking for a refreshing beverage while you shop at the mall, Tea & Crepes is a solid choice.

My kiddo is a chocolate fan, so he went with a small size chocolate with sprinkles and I went with their popular Blue Coconut dipped in Dark Chocolate Sea Salt. When she brought out our ice cream, I thought "oh, how simple" but the moment you take a bite of that ice cream, the flavor is far from simple. It's like that McDonald's ice cream soft serve style creaminess texture and flavor, but slightly richer. The coconut flavor with the sea salt dark chocolate crunch for me was exactly what I needed on that hot desert morning. Seating was plentiful inside and the customer service was definitely on point.

Stainless steel tables, basic menus etc. I was greeted by a very sweet and nice server... but she didn't introduce herself... she just wiggled her fingers at me in some sort of a wave then proceeded to lean down and look at the screen of my phone and compliment the picture on it..... ok?! Thanks girl. This is weird. Don't look at my phone. I'm a server, I've been in the service industry for 22 years. There's a line between 'friendly' and ' we're friends' and our server leaned towards the latter. She was also dressed in a mid drift shirt which her belly and belly button ring were exposed and at the table I caught her twiddling her long dangling belly button ring in nervousness multiple times. That's super gross We both order our food and the real confusing thing about this place is, in the middle of the restaurant there seems to be a self serve 'bar' kind of thing filled with jelly and hot sauces etc.. My friend needed a jelly and a butter for her toast so I just walked up and grabbed it. Within seconds some girl approached me and asked me what I was doing. I apologized and told her I assumed this was self serve because it LOOKS self serve. She told me it wasn't, I told her what I needed and I sat down. Confusing layout. I had ordered a matcha drink and it was good. I finished it. The server came by and asked if I liked it because she had made it herself and I said yes! And she goes 'wait? You don't like it? What's wrong with it? And then proceeded to explained how she changes the way she makes it so the matcha doesn't sink to the bottom. I drank it.,, it was good. I don't need a play by play. This is unprofessional as an interaction. I was uncomfortable. Ok girl. I just told you it was good. We're fine. Thank you. The food was FINE. You can tell the omelettes were made in some sort of mold and not on a grill by a person by hand, so seeing as empty as the restaurant was I was confused why it took so long to get 2 basic omelettes. My order was missing my hash browns but whatever. The food was good. I could have made this at home. In all honesty the service and the professionalism of the staff needs to be reevaluated. Touching a belly button ring next to my head while I'm ordering food is actually insane. I wouldn't return... but only because of the odd service. The basic food was good I guess.
