| - I have been going to this location for a few years now, with both great, mediocre, and disappointing experiences. I'll try to round up everything that I could think of.
Setting: The location is in the Albertson's parking lot off of Rainbow/Warm Springs. The space is small with colored tables and plastic colorful chairs. The windows and walls are covered in real photos of the food choices they offer. There is also a book shelf with plenty of magazines- many old and some current. It is a cute shop with a local touch for a chain store.
Drink: I thought and still think that it is one of the few boba cafes located in the Southwest area. They offer the variety of boba flavors in a snow ice and slush form. I believe they use powder, not real fruit though. They have smoothies, but I have not tried them yet. They have a 2 for $5 special for regular size slushes with boba which is a deal I've taken advantage of often.
Food: Reason why I return to this place consistently is for their waffles and crepes.They do desert crepes from nutella, fruits, honey, and nuts to savory crepes with ham, turkey, or cheese. You can also make your own crepe for $7.50 choosing 5 of 8 ingredients (if I remember correctly). Among other specialty crepes are their Honey BBQ Crepe, Chicken Parmesan, Chicken Alfredo, and Korean BBQ Crepe. Waffles are a similar deal with the plenty of preset topping combinations or you can also build your own waffle and add frozen yogurt on top (which I highly recommend) for a $1 more.
They also offer frozen yogurt with deals like 2 small cups with 1 topping each for $5. However, selection is not extensive like Yogurtland and it is not self serve. (The person behind the counter does it for you. )Flavors are Acai-Pomegranate, Mango, Taro, and Original. They also offer shaved ice deserts with preset combinations and options of syrups and toppings.
OVERALL:
*Pros: I've had times in the past where I've craved a waffle or a crepe. I've had times where I went here more than 3x a week. This place is fantastic for a quick dessert craving or to catch up with a friend. The women were always super nice to my boyfriend and me during our visits. Because of the variety, this is my go-to dessert place. I usually order the specialty crepes and my boyfriend loves the Korean BBQ Crepes. I also like the Strawberry Banana waffles with frozen yogurt in the middle. The Froyo and Boba specials are great during summer when I don't want to go Chinatown or Town Square.
*Cons: I noticed they raised the price twice in the past two years around 0.50-1.00 which made me sad. I guess in contrast, they made a crepe combo deal with a boba for $8.75-9.50 but it's still more than what I used to pay for a quick dessert. I mentioned earlier that I've had mediocre experiences like my waffles being a bit overdone that it was hard/crunchy instead of crispy. When I went here last Sunday, my sister and I ordered crepes and they didn't include the ladle spoon of sauce which they usually pour over the crepes which disappointed me because I love the extra sauce. They didn't have the grated Parmesan cheese available, like before, either.
It is a Frozen Yogurt chain so I expected more out of their frozen yogurt flavors..
Quality of your food? It is not consistent...but when they do it well, they do it well. I like to give benefit of the doubt.
I'd give a 3.5/5 if I could. I wouldn't go out of way to the SW area to try it, but I would recommend it for a person close by who wanted a sweet tooth fix or wanted a "coffee date" type of place.
