Bubble tea, tea houses, Asian bakeries and dessert shops in this group are usually walk-in, counter-order businesses with a menu board overhead listing sweetness and ice levels you can adjust when ordering. Standard bubble tea customization includes sugar level (0-100%), ice level, and a choice of toppings like boba pearls, pudding or jelly, usually at a small extra charge. Asian bakeries sell items individually with tongs and a tray, cafeteria-style, rather than pre-boxed, and pastries are typically less sweet than Western bakery items. Lines build up quickly after school and in the evening, especially near colleges. Most of these businesses accept cards and mobile pay and skew younger in clientele and atmosphere.
Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 8 am–6 pm.

I was really excited to try this place but was let down within the first minute. No one acknowledged us when we walked in for at least 5 min. There was someone in line in front of us who was done ordering but just sharing old college stories with the barista. Once they finally acknowledged us, they didn’t apologize for the wait or even speak other than asking what we wanted to order. While sitting and waiting for my drink, I noticed a complete difference in the way they spoke to the other customers. Constantly apologizing for the wait etc. I won’t be returning.

If you’re looking for a nature-connection place full of peace and calm, this is for you!! What amazing place!! They don’t have a lot of topping options for iced drinks but it doesn’t really matter. The space is full of nature, the matcha taste amazing, the people is so nice, the pastries 🥐 so good! I’ll be back!!

Outdoorsy cafe serving delicious lattes and teas. While they serve a mean latte, the environment is the biggest appeal here: the landscaping feels like you're sitting in a garden and there's ample seating, while still not feeling crowded. Despite the gloomy day, I had a delightful iced brown sugar latte and enjoyed the fresh air. The cafe is accessible from the Bolin Creek Trail for those looking for a treat on their hot girl walk, or there's also ample parking. Because most of the seating is outdoors, make sure your laptop is fully charged if you're planning to work -- I didn't really notice an accessible spot to charge a device.

Overall 10/10 recommend. I came here for the ambiance and it did not disappoint. Parking is tight especially if it is a nice day and they are busy. My husband had a croissant and wanted to order 3 more to take home it was so good. I myself had a blueberry Danish which I also enjoyed, I did like the croissant more but it is all about personal preferences at this degree of deliciousness. We sat outside, no issue finding a table as there were quiet a few areas to choose from. We did take a little walk down the path to the main trail. It was a very exciting experience we look forward to coming back.
