😠 If I could I would give zero stars. Smoothies are very bland. On top of that we ordered a banana smoothie with tapioca. They have us brown sugar tapioca then tried to tell me it was the same thing. They redid the smoothie but I was telling them you never asked us if we wanted the brown sugar tapioca... People often mention smoothie, prices,

    Big difference between photo and taste, crepe burned from the bottom, fruits are not fresh and the smoothie is just an artificial color that tastes disgusting, what a waste of time and money, I wanted to try a good crepe and I was very disappointed. I don’t recommend this place.

They have us brown sugar tapioca then tried to tell me it was the same thing. They redid the smoothie but I was telling them you never asked us if we wanted the brown sugar tapioca. And then I saw how for the smoothie they used less than half a banana so no wonder the smoothie was so bland. All 4 of our smoothies were so bland. Not worth spending your money on this dump. My 11 year old can make a better smoothie. Not gonna blame the workers they're probably just following what they're told to do, skimp out on ingredients.

    Definitely not what I was expecting for the price I paid. 2 slices of lunch meat ham and a single slice of cheese. I wasn't wanting something that goes on a homemade cheap sandwich.

    I don't like writing reviews but I had to review this. This place is the bomb! The crepes were so beautiful I almost didn't want to eat them. They were sooo tasty too. Absolutely heavenly.

    Stopped at this place maybe 2-3 times in the past year and not bad overall. My nearly 8-year-old son loves taro bubble tea and in this mall, this place is his choice. Had the same thing once before myself and the taste is decent if not a bit pricy for what you get. Wife had the crepes once and claimed it was ok but expensive and she hasn't been back for it since. Service is always good but amidst the nationwide inflation, prices are a bit steep and the overall taste is nothing to write home about.

    Nothing against the girl at the register, she's just working with what she has but the smooties / boba was a MAJOR let down. They use powdered sweeteners along with fruit syrup for their drinks. it's just cold sugar water by the time it's blended. It's wayyy too sweet. What a waste of time and $7.68. 😮‍💨

    Not only was the man making our order extremely helpful in helping us decide what to get, he did a great job, it was all delicious!! We got a strawberry smoothie with Boba beads, a mango smoothie with Boba beads, a berry bliss crepe, and a Banana crepe, highly satisfied customers, thank you!!

    came here april 17 about 30 minutes before closing and the girls working were so nice and friendly:) loved the crepes and boba that i got i will definitely be returning it was so good !!!

    The offerings on the menu and in the case look amazing, my kids want to order from here every time we are at the mall. Unfortunately, this place is almost never open and has no posted hours that I can find anywhere. Our dozen attempts have all been thwarted. The closest we have come to success was when it was all lit up with the monitors on at 2ish in the afternoon on a Saturday, but had a sign saying they were on break,... checked back an hour later and they were still not back.

    I got the passion fruit green tea with passion fruit popping pearls, and it was delicious. There is many options for the base drink and then for the popping pearls/tapioca! (My drink was very good, this photo does it no justice)

    Employees make up prices as they go. We were charged between 20 cents to 2 dollars over the price on each ordered item, this includes different prices on items that are supposed to cost the same. When I asked about it, the employee lied to my face saying that the prices on the menu are old.

    Milk Tea boba tasted really water down, like there was no milk just powder and water.

  • 5/5 Zoe P. 8 months ago on Google
    Absolutely wonderful experience, its a bit slow as its only one fella, but if you’re not in a rush you’ll get an amazing treat!

    The crepe was terrible! They used rotten banana which tasted sour. Did not have strawberries, were frugal on berries. Terrible! Never coming back.

  • 1/5 salvador g. 4 months ago on Google
    Similar to another review! Was charged 20 dollars for 2 drinks where other places are 15 for 2 drinks. When asked why the price was different from what was being charged the employee said those were old prices. Doesn’t make sense if those are old prices they should update it!

    Price was ridiculous got 2 bubble teas and what I paid didn’t match what was on his wall he said that was old price that the price had gone up I felt bad rejecting the order so I still got them but never again will I go there
