    I would never have known it wasn't ice cream. So delicious!! I highly recommend them.

    Banana cream pie

    This is our second time we ate at Vampire Penguin. The first time we had banana cream pie and it was to die for! This time we had Mexican watermelon with some accommodations and they were so willing to accommodate us. The Mexican watermelon brought us Italian ice vibes. You wouldn't regret it! It's good enough to share it but I highly recommend to not! Too good to share!

    I've come back to this place multiple times, but the overall experience has been consistently…read moredisappointing. Most of the drinks are not very good, especially for how overpriced everything is. I have recommended this place to others, and they have said the same thing. Many of them chose not to return. The biggest issue is the service. It is consistently unprofessional. There have been times where I was the only person waiting, and it still took a long time just to order because the worker stayed in the back and only came out when he felt like it. On multiple visits, the worker has also sighed heavily, taken a deep breath, and rolled his eyes while I was ordering, even when the order was simple. Other people I know have experienced the same thing. It creates an uncomfortable environment and makes customers feel like an inconvenience just for ordering. The wait times are excessive. It can take up to 30 minutes just to place an order and close to an hour to receive a drink. Having only one person running the shop is clearly not working. At this point, the pricing, service, and wait times do not match the experience being provided. After multiple visits, nothing has improved, and there is no reason to continue coming back.

    Looks cooler than it is…read more Parking is abundant and easy to find! It's part of a shopping plaza, I went late in the evening so it may be different during the day. Staff was only one person, they weren't friendly; they weren't mean they may have been tired, but the friendliness was not there. When I asked for my drink I could see the disappointment in his face perhaps do it being tedious to make? I don't know. The drink I got was the Mangonada! A fun drink but it was all too good. If you enjoyed the Chimoy trend you may enjoy this! It was not for me, the balance between spicy, savory, and sweet was off. The restaurant was average! Great to pickup a quick treat but the design is basic. Plenty of seating, but not somewhere I'd stay for long. All in all, I'd come back to try more drinks they look cool for sure, but the customer service needs work and the design of the restaurant is up to the creativity of the owners.

    This was a neighborhood gem for the past 10 years and it greatly saddens me that they are closing…read morefor good. I was a frequent customer during it's previous iteration as Yo&I and as Bubble Cups up until 2 or 3 years ago. Tonight was my first time back in years as I found out through a recent post in Yelp that it was closing. I stopped visiting due to personal reasons but I had to make a visit to try to catch the owner and tell her that the shop will be missed and that I was sorry to see them go. For the last hurrah, I made a large order for the following: Raspberry fruit tea x2 Hokkaido Milk Tea And my all time favorite - the Classic House Special The Raspberry and Guava fruit teas are currently buy one, get one free and all other drinks are buy one, get one half off. For my final parting words, if you are in the area or don't mind coming over this way, please visit them one last time before they close for good on Sunday, Dec 28. They have some amazing promos going as a final gift to customers and you will be supporting a local family that have been running this place. Thank you Bubble Cups for the years of great drinks to make my day a little more brighter. I hope to see you again soon someday!

I ended up going with a mocha boba, but for me it was a tad too sweet! The cafe itself was very cute.. they had a cubby with some board games & such to choose from! It's a perfect little spot if you just wanted to hang out for a little as you're enjoying your boba or the ice cream that they also offer!

    We're from out of town and have visited this spot four times now because it's one of the few…read moredessert places open late, but this will be our last visit. The biggest issue is expectations. The menu shows a wide variety of items, but many either aren't sold anymore or aren't available later in the evening. More than once we've come specifically for something, waited in line, and only found out at the register that it's not being served, sometimes an hour or two before closing. There's no clear notice about a limited late‑night menu or which items are actually available, so customers end up wasting time and leaving frustrated. On top of that, the teens working the counter often come across as condescending when they deliver that news. It doesn't feel like they've been trained on basic customer communication, and there's rarely an apology or effort to offer alternatives, which makes the whole experience feel dismissive rather than welcoming. Even the small extras feel neglected, all the games in the seating area look crispy and worn, and some of the card games even appear moldy, which doesn't give a good impression about cleanliness or upkeep. This could be an easy fix, update the menus to remove items you no longer sell, clearly mark a late‑night menu with specific hours, refresh or clean the games, and train the front‑of‑house staff on how to communicate those limits respectfully. The concept and late hours are great, but after four tries, the lack of clear communication, poor upkeep, and the attitude at the counter mean we won't be back. It feels like the Am/Pm of Boba.
