    This used to be a Starbucks. It is niw a Coffee Bean and it looks totally different. Compared to other Coffee Beans it looks much cuter!

    CHAGEE Modern Teahouse is a modern Chinese tea concept that focuses on tea-forward drinks rather…read morethan the typical overly sweet bubble tea experience. We walked into a polished, contemporary space with a premium feel, the kind of place that feels closer to a specialty tea café than a traditional boba shop. The branding, presentation, and overall atmosphere are a big part of the appeal, creating a space that feels designed for both grabbing a drink and hanging out. The interior is clean and intentional, with a design that elevates the experience beyond a typical tea stop. The biggest strength of CHAGEE is the tea quality. The drinks tend to highlight the actual tea flavor, which makes them stand out from many milk tea shops that rely heavily on sugar or toppings. The jasmine-based drinks are a good example, with a fragrant floral profile that comes through clearly without being perfumed. The menu has a nice balance between classic milk teas and more unique tea creations. The drinks are generally less sweet and more focused on the tea itself, so it works well for anyone who wants something different from standard boba. The downside is that the drinks can feel a little expensive compared to other tea shops, especially since most of the appeal comes from the quality of the tea rather than large portions or lots of toppings. The portions are reasonable, but the cost reflects the premium positioning of the brand. The main issue with CHAGEE is consistency and wait times. Some locations can get extremely crowded, and the popularity sometimes creates long lines that make the experience less convenient. The ordering process is usually organized, but the wait can be difficult to justify when the final drink is more of a solid tea experience rather than something completely unique. Service is generally friendly, and the staff seem well trained despite the busy environment. They handle the flow efficiently, but the volume can test the operation's capacity. CHAGEE feels like a premium tea shop aimed at people who appreciate the flavor of tea itself. It is not necessarily the place to go if you want a dessert-like boba drink loaded with toppings, but it is a good option for jasmine tea, oolong, and more refined milk tea flavors. The atmosphere and presentation add to the experience, though the long waits and higher prices may determine whether it becomes a regular stop or just a place to try once. For what it does, it executes the concept well, offering a drink that feels more like a tea experience than a sugary treat.

    I wanted to give Chagee a try because of all the hype, but overall, I found it just okay…read more One of my biggest frustrations was that some drinks don't allow you to customize the ice level or sweetness, which is something I generally expect from a tea or boba shop. Being able to adjust a drink to your personal preference is a big part of the experience for me. The store itself is beautiful and clearly designed with social media in mind. It's stylish, modern, and definitely very Instagram-friendly. However, it felt like the focus was more on the branding and aesthetics than on the tea itself. The drinks were decent, but nothing particularly memorable. If you're looking for a trendy spot to take photos or see what the buzz is about, it might be worth a visit. But if you're a serious tea drinker or looking for what I'd consider a true boba tea shop experience, I probably wouldn't recommend it as my first choice.

I went back and forth for which one I thought was the best, but it's neck and neck with Hokey Pokey Butter Pecan and Strawberries and Cream. If you like sweet, I'd go with the Butter Pecan and if you lean more towards less sweet, I would go with Strawberries and Cream. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with any flavors. Service was excellent! Recommend all summer long!

First, shout out to the staff who were so friendly, and patient! When we had a moment of indecisiveness strike just as we were 1 out of 4 orders down. Not only that but granted the shop is small but it was sweet they delivered some to us personally. The ambiance is sunny in there: bright, airy, vinyls playing. And the soft serve ice cream itself was so good. Plenty of options you can't go wrong with original Hokey Pokey and the butter pecan (which also had a whipped topping that wasn't too heavy at all) which were my favorites. That texture! That crunch! Also love that they sell pints to-go. (I wonder how those hold up, because experiencing this fresh was really out of this world.) Open an hour later than mall close as well.

    Cafe Knotted is such a fun little dessert spot tucked into the Century City outdoor mall. This was…read moremy second visit in the last year, and it definitely won't be my last. Their desserts are unique, beautiful, and incredibly delicious. The best way I can describe them is somewhere between a croissant and a filled donut, with layers of flaky pastry and rich, flavorful fillings. They offer a variety of flavors, and I've tried almost all of them at this point. Every single one has been excellent. The strawberry flavor is my personal favorite (and the one pictured in my photo), but honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. They're sweet, satisfying, and almost too pretty to eat. The service has been friendly on both of my visits, and the overall experience has been consistently great. If you're spending time at Century City and have a sweet tooth, Café Knotted is definitely worth a stop. It's a charming little spot with creative desserts that are as delicious as they are beautiful.

The donuts are good. I just wouldn't go out of my way for them, but if you like pastries with a bread-like texture, you'll like Cafe Knotted. I recently tried their chestnut toffee latte--way too sweet and not nutty enough for my preference. I'd probably ask to adjust the sweetness level next time, which isn't advertised on their menu.

I actually decided to visit after seeing a review from one of my Yelp friends mentioning that ordering this drink gets you a free lip gloss and sheet mask from Olive Young. I asked the cashier about it, and she confirmed it was true, so I decided to give it a try! The latte was delicious and not too sweet, which I liked. The only downside was that I couldn't get it decaf since it's matcha, and they didn't offer non-fat milk either. However, the cashier was friendly. She asked what kind of milk I preferred and brought up the Olive Young promo, asking if I was going to wait in line. When I told them I wasn't sure yet, she gave me a good tip: she said if I didn't want to wait, I could just show the green Olive Young card to the security guard to get the goodie bag. I was thankful for the advice! Interestingly enough, when I actually went to Olive Young, the security guard just told me to ask about the front desk. Despite that little mix-up, the cashier was very sweet and the matcha latte was good so I'm satisfied overall. I just really wish they had a decaf option! cf) One other disappointing thing was that the Asian woman who had been very unfriendly during my previous visit was still working there making coffee. She was the same employee who, without even asking me, sprinkled cinnamon powder all over my coffee at that time.
