There were no customers, we just watched her wash a ton of dishes for 10 minutes before starting on our drinks. I got the avocado smoothie, which came with a sweetness level request. 100% was recommended, so I picked that. I watched her literally just put milk, avocado, and ice into a blender. No sweetener such as condensed milk like I expected. As expected, there was absolutely no sweetness in the drink, just milky avocado slush. My husband got a house milk tea with boba, and it was extremely flavorless. Tasted really sweet, but you couldn't really taste the tea at all. Honey boba wasn't bad, not the worst we've tried. Overall, considering there are tons of other boba shops in Berkeley, we definitely will not be back.

Summer has definitely shown up during the last few days of July with a heatwave upon us with the…read moresun coming out. The weather heats up there is nothing more essential to refresh by grabbing a beverage on ice. There are many places to grab something to clinch your thirst. Nothing is better on a sunny day as grabbing a bubble tea. There is a place which professionally provides all kinds of flavors of drinks from Taiwan and it's called Taiwan Professional Tea. On another Summer stroll in Telegraph I landed at Taiwan Professional Tea. Inside there is some seating and the party people order on a kiosk. They have lots of drinks not too sweet and some are sour like lemonade like some on my social media feed. They also have matcha for Don Juan de la Matcha . I got the Mango Passion Smoothie . It was not too sweet and it had lots of flavor and hit the spot . A good place to grab a drink rain or shine because the drinks are Type A ( Taipei). Last day of the month and it's "gone" now every social media feed for the end of July photo dump is what is going "on" but this place has tasty tea drinks which has a second name professional and first name "Taiwan" and they also have matcha for the "Don Juan" This place is the place during a heatwave is the answer and that is "unquestionable"they have drinks with fruits and not a "vegetable"when it comes to matcha leave it to the "professional" because Don Juan de la Matcha is nothing "correctable"

Also, the coffee flavor could be stronger, as you can probably tell from the photo, the color is lighter than I would have liked. Additionally, oat milk was an extra $1 but most egregious was the additional $1 in taxes and fees, making my $6 drink turn into $8. You order on a kiosk, and inside there are a few stools but not the best for sitting or studying. I would be willing to come back to try other drinks but beware of the sweetness levels.

The service was pleasant, and the coffee shop had plenty of indoor seating. Located on Telegraph Avenue, Romeo's is close to the UC Berkeley campus and gets lots of student foot traffic. I ordered the Sip of Seduction smoothie. It was delicious and refreshing! I would definitely order it again. The flavors were well balanced, and it was exactly what I needed. The sandwiches looked good, too! I wouldn't mind trying them next time.

Honestly this was going to be my new coffee shop when Pete's closed on Telegraph. Yesterday I was…read moredrinking my coffee, I had my dog with me, a 12 lb 14 year old poodle, when a male barista comes up to me, taps my shoulder, and asks me "do you want to see something cool?" Honestly I thought he was going to show me a picture of his dog or something because he was holding his phone and I said yeah- this man proceeds to lean over and go into his photos app and show me pictures of me and my dog from behind that he did not ask me if he could take. I was wearing a sports bra and sweats with a messy ponytail. Immediately he asked me if he could put a photo on Instagram for Romeo's coffee shop... and honestly I was very put on the spot and confused and I just said sure. Look if I'm spending $10 on a latte. After yoga before I go meet with my clients to work for hours. I just want to be able to relax. I don't want to have to be vigilant for men taking my photo without my permission, especially not the staff of the coffee shop I'm paying $10 every day for a f****** latte. Anyways... I wasn't going to leave a review but I just called the shop. The owner recognized my voice I asked if I could talk to her. I tried to explain to her what was happening yesterday and why it was uncomfortable for me and this woman proceeded to interrupt me several times- at one point she told me that I was the problem because my dog was on the chair and I gave him some whipped cream which let's be honest lady if that's how you feel talk to your customers about how you would like them to conduct themselves with their pets in your coffee shop. Don't just start taking their photo for Instagram or yell at them when they are uncomfortable with it. Smh. She literally interrupted me about this several times before I even told her what happened, and when I kept trying to continue to tell her what I called her about she told me that she couldn't really hear me- I literally had to step outside of my house and say will you please give me one minute to explain to you what happened and why I have an issue with it. I ended up hanging up on her because she just wanted to argue with me. Honestly I gave this place a chance. There's a lot of bad reviews. There's a weird vibe from the staff that makes it really hard to relax there and honestly what the hell is up with all the oversexualized innuendo. I really wish you luck and wish you the best as a small business otherwise I wouldn't have called to try to talk to you instead of leaving a review. This is something that I would never in a million years do to a paying client of mine, it's one thing to have someone that is paying you for your services offer to model for your Instagram or something it's another thing to just take someone's photo without their permission from behind on any old vulnerable day when they could be going through anything and then f****** argue with them about it. Super disrespectful and kind of gross of you guys.

The owner after finishing up the previous order waited until the ticket printed out and then she was gone to the kitchen. I decided to order the sweet potato fries with plum seasoning, the minced pork rice bowl and the taro smoothie. The sweet potato fries were okay. They were sweet on sweet with the plum seasoning. I like my fries crispy so I may be biased when these sweet potato fries came out a bit limp but I brought them home to air fry and I'm thoroughly enjoying them now. The minced pork rice bowl is a deal! It doesn't look like much food but it's packed into the container. The rice is under the minced pork and the vegetables so it's soaking up the juices making the rice even softer and more delicious! It also comes with a perfectly fried vegetable egg roll which was a nice complement to the meal. The taro smoothie brought back the happy feelings of the taro milk tea from Hay Tea. Where you can actually see the real taro in the drink. I'll definitely be back from another one of these too. 25% sugar was perfect for me. When waiting for my order, my coworker asked for me to pick up a crispy cutlet bento for her. Since my smoothie had just come out and I was waiting, the owner offered to stick it in the fridge for me until my coworker's food was ready. She also told me that they'd only been open for a month now. You can tell this lady is super hardworking and aims to please! I'll definitely be back again to try other items like the sweet soy glazed cutlet or the fried tofu cubes. Everything looks good!
