I was running an errand in the area and saw that O2 Valley had just taken shop at the location of an old pho restaurant. I've never been to an O2 Valley Cafe before, but after a quick search, I found out that it's a very popular Taiwanese Bento and Boba cafe with locations in Cupertino, Palo Alto, and San Mateo. Upon walking in, I was greeted by the friendly staff who helped me place my order using the tablet. There was a bento box meal that I was interested in, but the combo came with a pork topping on the rice. Since I don't eat pork, I asked if it could be removed. The female employee who helped me was super nice and let me know that a side dish that came with the combo also contained a little pork. She then recommended a couple vegetarian options I could replace it with. She suggested the fried mushrooms, and when the meal arrived, it was so tasty! I also ordered the Taiwanese braised dish (similar to Japanese Oden or Korean Odeng, but more of a stir fry), spicy chicken bites, iced Jasmine milk tea with boba, and iced earl grey milk tea. Everything was delicious, prepared quickly, and brought to our table. Overall, I would come here again. This cafe/restaurant is so cozy, clean, spacious with cute decor, and they have both tables and comfy booths. Staff is friendly and responsive and they have a large menu consisting of a great selection of Taiwanese Bento Boxes (many vegetarian options), Snacks (yes they have popcorn chicken too), katsu and regular curry dishes, and milk tea and smoothies. So, there's pretty much something for everyone. There is free iced water, and utensils and napkins are fully stocked at each table and easily accessible. Also, I couldn't help but notice that most of the drinks start at about $5 or so! Lastly, I would be remiss to not mention the great music. Not sure if it's their usual playlist, but I appreciated the 80's-like vibe, and the music wasn't obnoxiously loud like the majority of other boba places. I know this is important to some folks, so just had to mention it! Overall, would come here again. Great place to have lunch, dinner, or catch a quick snack and boba with family, friends, or SO. : ) read more
