I very much like this place. The owner and staff are kind and friendly. I do recommend the food, but they no longer serve Vegetarian/Vegan options for food, it seems! Im not sure why this hasnt been updated on their menus here. :( I was really bummed when they told me there wasn't anything vegetarian.
Came in here once for Boba a while back and it was great. Came in here recently this weekend and was in for a frappe and the man working offered me his own spin on the drink I ordered, something cooking in the lab so to speak, and after trying it I will be back. Service is good, the guy working solo was definitely doing his job because the drinks were really good especially my PB&J frappe, 5 big booms out of 5, will be coming back.
Toasted marshmallow soft serve.
Had their chocotherapy ice cream with toasted marshmallows and chocolate straws all on sweet cream. Have to say some times less is more. The ice cream and sweet cream were awesome but everything else was just talking away from them.
Ordered the Ube milk tea and a pork belly bao. Didn't realize they were bao tacos and not buns but didn't mind the flavor. The milk tea however was awful I'm sorry to say. Tasted nothing like ube, the syrup itself was very artificial and flowery, the tea bitter. Owner or kitchen manager should definitely change the recipe and revist some local filipino shops because I'm not sure how you can get something so different.
Such a fantastic spot! I frequently get little sweet treats from here and every time it’s amazing! My favorite is their Oreo mint frappe but i’ve never had a bad drink here. The service is quick and friendly. Its within walking distance for me but if you are driving parking is a little hard

My Thai boba Tea was orange, tasted like syrup. My sisters strawberry smoothie was definitely from syrup. Not good. Will not be going back. Not worth it. Find some place better if ur looking for boba

Service was amazing & it’s a cute spot. Parking does kind of suck but that most places in the area. I think this place would stand out if they had better tea to use with their milk teas. The boba itself was the right texture & the drink tasted good. I just couldn’t really taste any tea. It just tasted like mango milk.

We recently visited Little Nap Cafe and had a very disappointing experience. We ordered two boba teas and some baos, requesting our drinks to be half sweet. Unfortunately, both bobas were extremely sweet and had a strange, bitter taste—almost like they were expired or fermented.
It was concerning that there seemed to be only one person running the entire place, from taking orders to making the food. The baos were prepared in a microwave, which was a letdown. Although they didn’t look terrible, the fact that they were microwaved didn’t inspire confidence in their quality. Given the overall experience, the price felt steep for what we received.
On a brighter note, we had pizza across the street afterward, which was fantastic. Sadly, Little Nap Cafe did not meet our expectations, and I wouldn’t recommend it.

Wow very tasty boba tea. The tea is so fresh and it tastes like tea! Clean and calm environment. Nice service. Definitely recommend.

I get boba almost every day and like to try as many shops as possible. This one was pretty bad. First off, $7.53 for a small milk tea with boba exceeds anywhere else I've been. Then the boba were mushy (too old or overcooked) and one-third of them were all clumped together so I couldn't eat them (not that I really wanted to). Then they have counter seating, but the chairs are not counter-height so you find your chin at counter level. And what happened to all the Asian desserts and snacks they used to have? Never going back here. Sorry.

Honestly the boba was so bad - really hard and rubbery and some were mushy.
the Milk tea was so overwhelmingly sweet and for 7 dollars for a 16 oz it was not the vibe. The lady at the register was really nice tho
Biggest waste of $8. I should have known better because no one is ever in the store. Boba was hard and tea tasted like pure sugar. The boba wouldn't even come up the straw. Threw it out after 2 sips.
Completely empty and still took 20+ minutes to have my order taken. Drinks have been good here in the past but this cashier sucked.
