I do add lychee jelly! It adds a bit more sweetness. The workers are always friendly and happy to help. I usually order in the kiosk for easier ordering.

Compared to the name of the spot, the interior felt like it belonged to a night time sushi spot. I'm not sure if they are allowed to repaint the interior, but changing the black/dark blue walls to something more bright would open up the space a little more-- it is a small place, but felt even smaller with the design choice. The menu was organized, but it seems like they were out of a few items in the morning as they didn't have mini pearls--only regular. And for some reason, you couldn't change the sweetness level on the drink...or maybe it just related to the drink I chose? Not sure, it was my first time there. The worker was nice & patient. Although for not having many people in the shop, I hope they could take the time to perfect their boba. It was VERY clumpy and not good-- texturally and taste wise. It didn't have that rich brown sugar taste and it was very gooey and chewy (not in a good way). They did give a good amount of boba, but I feel most people would toss it out because of the bad quality. Which would be a waste of money. To drink, I chose the Hokkaido Milk Tea with Pearls. I wanted to do 50 or 75% sweet but I guess since this is a caramel noted milk tea, it isn't possible. I think the tea was ok. I would order something else next time. My friend had the Okinawa Milk Tea with Pearls, I'm unsure if they asked for a certain sweetness level or not. They said the tea was good, but the pearls weren't good. Something to note, I charged the drinks on my card and rather than saying Sayaka Tea, it said Sharetea...interesting. I wonder if they rebranded themselves or ?? Each drinks were around ~$7-8 ish! I'll give them another try, I hope the boba will be better the next time around and I'll be allowed to change the sweetness. If not, I'll be heading a little further down the street as this tea spot may not be for me!

Came back to 3CAT for a second visit and it did not disappoint!…read more This time I got the Avomango Sweet Dew, which is another one of their most popular drinks, and my husband got the Mango Mochi that I tried on my first visit. We both loved our drinks! The Avomango Sweet Dew was so creamy and refreshing, with the perfect combination of avocado and mango. It's such a unique flavor combination, but somehow works really well together. My husband loved the Mango Mochi just as much as I did on my first visit--the fresh mango flavor and chewy mochi make it such a fun drink. I really appreciate how creative the drinks are at 3CAT. Everything feels more unique and dessert-like than your typical boba shop, and you can really taste the fresh fruit. After two visits, I'm definitely a fan and already want to come back to try more of their drinks!

No fibers. I also like the coconut milk base which adds to a really smooth drink. 10/10! I Totally recommend this drink, even though I heard 3Cat is known for their tea drinks. Many small tables and mostly booth seating. The booth seating has some comfy pads and you can grab some stackable chairs to sit. The seating area could be more clean. I think it's better in smaller groups for the seating area (2-3 people). Most people ordered for takeout, but it's nice to sit and enjoy the playlist.

I was really disappointed when I got my drink because there was absolutely no tea flavor, just a big cup of sweet milk (see photo). I ended up ordering another drink because I didn't come here to drink a glass of milk, but the woman at the counter wouldn't let me swap the drink out at no charge. She wasn't rude, but she also wasn't particularly empathetic or apologetic about the situation. I had to pay for an entirely new drink, which also wasn't made at the 25% sugar level I had originally requested. I ended up throwing the milk drink away. :( That said, the new drink brown sugar Pearl milk tea was much closer to what I wanted, and the boba pearls had a great texture and came in a good portion. I just wish the first drink had been explained better and that there had been some willingness to replace it, since I definitely wasn't expecting to receive an entire cup of milk instead of a milk tea. The ambiance of the place is cute.

The person who runs the spot was lat so I had to wait awhile before ordering, which was okay. I ordered the traditional black milk tea with no boba and the popcorn chicken. They have a great combo special which is one boba drink and a bite off the "Bites" menu for $9.99 plus tax. It's a great deal. The black milk tea was good. It was smooth and rich but the black tea flavor needed more of that black tea flavor. It was mild yet tasty of course. The popcorn chicken was very good. The deep fried chicken morsels had a nice well seasoned crisp light breading and the all white meat chicken inside was very tender. They served the popcorn chicken with a side of sweet & sour sauce, and hot mustard & ketchup. The popcorn chicken was definitely a repeat.

I had barely had a chance to have lunch so was really happy to randomly see a coffee shop to grab a cold coffee on a hot day to bring with me to my hair appointment. Parking was easy and I walked into the coffee shop. There was no wait at all at that time. I browsed the menu and decided on an iced Simple Special which was basically an iced mint latte. I ordered it with nonfat milk I waited for only a couple of minutes for my drink to be made. During that time I saw that they were playing records and had several records for sale. That was really cool. If I lived in the area I would definitely hang out and listen to records while sipping on coffee. The reason for only 4 stars.... my charge was abut $8 which felt a bit stiff for only the 16 oz drink. It made me wary of what a 20 oz would cost. All in all, I had a good experience at The Simple Coffee House. My drink had good flavor without being overly sweet. I liked the records and the vibe at the coffeehouse.
