| - When you're looking for boba during the late hours of the night, you should check this place out! My cousin and I went here on a whim, and after hearing so much about it we mustered enough courage to actually go together.
Café Teaze, according to the business info, is supposed to be "like a Hooters, but for boba tea." I mean... it's sort of like that (?) except their outfits were more revealing than your average Hooters girl. No complaints though, because the boba was fantastic!
Everyone was super friendly; the waitress that initially greeted us and took our order was extremely nice. She actually sat down next to me and explained to us their happy hour (6-8 PM, I believe) and their secret menu items. She made suggestions from the secret menu and we decided to get the lavender and cantaloupe milk teas with boba.
I've never really had prolonged small talk where the waitress sits down with you before, but my cousin and I both agreed that it was kinda refreshing that they go out of their way to be super personable -- we actually enjoyed the conversations we had with her! And with such finesse too, I might add! She and the other "boba babe" periodically checked in on us to see if we were doing okay or needed anything else. Service was top-notch here!
As for the drinks, the cantaloupe milk tea was exactly to my liking. Not too many boba places offer cantaloupe as a flavor, so I just had to get it. It was very sweet, and the boba was soft (but not gooey/mushy); it's THE perfect drink to satisfy your late-night sweet tooth. It's basically a turnt up version of a honeydew milk tea. I prefer either taro or melon-flavored milk teas, so if you're the same way cantaloupe is the way to go (although the check-in offer won't work on secret menu items).
We also got their Taiwanese popcorn chicken as a snack, which was really flavorful (I can't really describe the seasoning, but it was pretty good!). These delectable little bite-sized pieces of chicken went will with our boba drinks. They're also super light, so don't be afraid to dig in! We were actually kinda surprised at how bomb they were.
The bottom line: it really is one of the better places to go to at night in Chinatown for boba. If you don't get offended easily and just want to have fun, then you should give this place a try! I don't think you'll be disappointed.
