It's basically a two-for-one win for them. The tea shop itself is inviting and the staff at both locations are genuinely friendly and personable. Every visit feels welcoming, not rushed. The girls loved their drinks (the flavors are spot-on and not overly sweet), and they've already asked to go back several times. In fact, they've been back a couple times just this month! If you're looking for a tasty drink, warm service, and the bonus of amazing noodles right next door, this spot is definitely worth a stop.

They have less options than some other boba places, but i was able to find something i would drink . I got the chocolate slushie. I wanted oreo but this was the closest option. It was creamy and satisfying. I do wish it was a bigger size drink option. They don't sell any type of food or appetizers. Its a cute little shop with plenty of seating and games to play at each table. It was clean inside with a chill vibe. The owner was very sweet and easy to talk to. There was no one there when i went. So it was pretty quite inside... I will return to try other things on the menu. Check them out!!!!

I went for the classic milk tea with boba -- creamy, balanced, and refreshing without being cloyingly sweet. What stood out here is the setup: the clean, organized counter and the option to order through the self-service kiosk makes the whole process seamless. Even on a busy afternoon, the line moved quickly and my drink was ready in minutes. The staff kept things moving while still being friendly, and the space itself feels bright and uncluttered, a nice break from some of the more chaotic tea shops around. At just over $10, it's pricier than your corner boba spot, but Gong Cha delivers on consistency and quality -- plus I lucked out with a surprise freebie today (always a mood booster). Whether you're a seasoned boba fan or just need a dependable milk tea fix, this location hits the mark. Solid drinks, efficient service, and no stress. That's worth five stars.

The door has a bell, so they should have known a customer walked in, but no one greeted me or acknowledged me. They seemed to be looking at their phones or watching something. I called out a few times at the pick-up area, but no one responded until I walked to the front and faced them directly. This showed a lack of professionalism and customer service. I hope the store takes this seriously and improves the staff's work attitude.

I ordered the Tiramisu Phin Coffee which was so good and hit the spot. I was unfortunately disappointed at the Bulgogi Egg Melt Croissant as it did not have as much meat as I would have expected. It was still pretty tasty but wished it had a good ratio between egg and bulgogi. Service was great; I was their first customer and the person helping me recommended me the drink so I was happy with their suggestion. The place is smaller than their other branches but still has the aesthetic that I know Joyu to have.

The self ordering kiosk is nice if you aren't feeling the need to socially interact, but you can also order at the counter. We usually come later in the day and I think the owner is behind the counter. Nice guy and friendly. The cream puffs are really my personal favorites. Not trying to sound like the stereotypical Asian, but it is because I find them less sweet. They are soft and the filling inside is my favorite. Have not had a chance to try the Asian corndogs, but maybe on the next visit.

Upon walking in, I was greeted by the team, and you are able to order in person, or by kiosk. I did the kiosk and it was pretty easy to place my order. I got my donut pretty much instantly after placing my order, and my drink very soon afterward. They send you a text notification that your items are ready too (although my tea notification was received an hour I got it lol). Otherwise a nice place that I'd like to visit again.

Just want to shoutout their frozen yogurt cakes! I really…read morewanted to support a local business for my birthday this year, but I wanted to get a cake under $30, especially because I only celebrated with my family. After some online searching, I found out Yo Mama has cakes! I've enjoyed ice cream cakes in the past, and I've enjoyed Yo Mama's frozen yogurt in the past, so I decided to give it a try! At the time of writing (3/2024), their frozen yogurt cakes are $25, and it came out to $27.88 with tax. You can pick two flavors to be layers on the cake. The flavor options they had available were taro, cake batter, vanilla, chocolate, coconut, mango, pineapple, and strawberry. They also told me I could pick either brownie pieces or pound cake for the middle of the cake and pirouline crumbs, sprinkles, Oreo crumbs, and mochi for the top of the cake. I opted for a mango and taro cake (I love both of those flavors), and told them they can choose what they think is best for the rest of the cake. Looking back, I kinda wish I requested for taro for the top layer because I love the color purple, but it's all good! It was absolutely delicious, and my family very much enjoyed it as well! Already thinking about getting a cake here again :)

The cares was clear of debris. The set up is pretty cool with a lot of wall decor and a comfy couch. Several fro yo flavors to choose from that's self serve. I decided on cake batter.

Then top it off with a syrup Checkout is weighed and that determines your price. Three cups can $20+ including tax. They do not have a tipping option which was refreshing to not have that awkward moment at checkout. They also offer Boba tea. When leaving I wanted to thank the woman, but she was no where to be found. Only one staff was working, but she did great and even saw her cleaning. 4.5, rounding down.

Ever since all of the Kung Fu Tea locations in the 757 area closed, I've been searching for a replacement, and this is the only place I've found that serves taro milk green tea. It tastes just like the one I used to get from Kung Fu Tea, which made me so happy! As the name suggests, it's more of a order-and-go shop. They have two self-order kiosks if you want to order yourself, or you can order directly at the register. The staff has always been friendly whenever I've visited. The shop itself is small, but that's expected for a order-and-go concept. They do have a few benches where you can sit while you wait for your order, which is a nice touch. If you're looking for great bubble tea especially if you're a fan of taro milk green tea I definitely recommend giving Tapioca Go a try!
