Val&#x27;s Workshop &amp; Coffee Lounge

3.5/5 For Flagstaff,…read morethis bubble tea is alright. If you get a drink from here it will be a sweet day indeed! At first I was a little confused because I didn't see an actual bubble tea store, but it turns out the bubble tea shop has the same owner as the restaurant and grocery store. There are menus at the counter of the grocery store's check out counter where you can place your order. Sadly, one of my choices (The lemon black tea) was not available so I went with the mango tea instead and got a passion fruit tea with yogurt popping boba. The cashier said the passion fruit was her favorite flavor- alright! They make the bubble tea next door at the Chinese restaurant kitchen/drink area. It didn't take too long for my drinks to be made and they had those nicely heat sealed lids. The passion fruit drink was a little too sweet for me so I'll see if I can ask for it less sweet next time. Service was very friendly and nice. Since options are limited in Flagstaff for bubble tea and I want to support local boba business (And fuel my bubble tea addiction) I'll try more next time I'm here!

I can't remember the exact name of my drink - something like Orange Dream - but it was delicious as well. You can actually taste the tea, and it doesn't taste artificial at all. Super good. There's plenty of seating inside, which makes it a great place to hang out. The only downside is parking - finding a spot in Flagstaff can be tricky, and most of the parking in the area is paid. That said, it wasn't too busy when we went around 8am. Definitely recommend!

I knew I was in trouble at Steep Leaf Lounge the moment I asked for coffee and the room got quiet…read more Coffee? No (well they do have one option) Latte? Also no (they do have tea lattes) Hot chocolate? Technically yes... but even that comes with Earl Grey tea inside. These folks are deeply, passionately committed to one thing: dried leaves steeped in hot water. And honestly, they do it well. If you're a tea lover, this place is your Disneyland. The selection is impressive, the vibe is relaxed, and the people behind the counter clearly care about what they're doing. There's a real enthusiasm here for the craft of tea, and that kind of passion is always fun to see. That said, my one issue was a pretty important one on a cold Flagstaff day... My tea showed up lukewarm. Now normally I'm a pretty forgiving person... but when it's 40 degrees outside and tea is the entire business model, this feels like a pretty big detail. When tea is the whole menu, temperature isn't a detail... it's the headliner. I like the concept. I respect the passion. It's just a bit limiting for my taste, and the execution missed slightly on the most important note. Three stars. A cool idea... that just needed to be a little hotter.

You order yourself at a kiosk. First day we ordered pop n bo with signature milk tea, another signature milk tea and a Shizuka matcha with coconut milk. The milk teas had a strong tea flavor, which we prefer. The matcha was a little too sweet if you want to be able to taste the matcha. I like a lot of ice in my tea, so I asked for more. They had to put into a new cup and reseal, but the worker gladly did it for me. We sat and enjoyed the popcorn chicken fresh. There are several tables, but most people seemed to take it to go. The next day we got the same orders but reduced the sugar in the matcha and added an order of fried tofu, which was also delicious.

Of course, we got the popcorn chicken again. We skipped the drinks this time and just went straight for our favorite. And let me tell you, the popcorn chicken here is HUGE. Each piece is like the size of a chicken wing. It's crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and honestly, it's super filling. I was already full just from eating the popcorn chicken. This location is also bigger than the one in Sedona, so it feels more open and comfortable. And parking is way easier since they have their own spots right outside, which is always a plus. If you liked the Sedona location, you're definitely going to like this one too.
