A flaw of mine is that I usually do not know how to rationalize and spread out the joys in life. When I go out, I go all out. The string of reviews did not happen in a series of days, but all in one.
I had some time to kill after getting my haircut and before I had to pick up my sister. Vetoing the gym for a day of relaxation, little did I know I would fall so far off the bandwagon. I started by ordering a large Grapefruit Green Tea with Aloe Vera ($5.00) thinking it would be a 24oz serving, but it came out in a mug that puts Hofbrauhaus to shame. The tea is bold and not bitter at all. The grapefruit flavor is light and not too sweet. The aloe vera were large chunks and came in a generous portion. Then the next step was where I went horribly wrong. I ordered a Rose Yogurt ($3.75). Little did I know it was another drink. I thought it was going to be frozen yogurt since the bottom of the page were lined with pictures of this creamy treat. When the employees asked me if I wanted to wait for it, I was a little thrown off, but it should have been a clue. The Rose Yogurt reminded me of those little bottles of yogurt drink I use to get from the Asian supermarkets. It was ok. I would totally stick to the teas.
The best part, my folly was not that bad since they are running a special. Until December 7th, tomorrow, they are doing half off drinks if you check in on Facebook and like them. So both of my drinks came out to be five dollars and some change.
The staff is nice, but there is a language barrier. I don't speak Chinese, but the barista kept talking to me in Chinese. The waitress roughly translated, so I got the gist of it. As previously stated, this is a great place for late night boba action since they are open until 2am.
