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.

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.

Ordered a lavender milk tea with boba and a mango passion fruit lemonade here. The milk tea was okay. The tea flavor was nice but the after taste was a bit bitter and left my mouth dry. The boba texture wasn't great either. It was mushy and felt like it had been sitting out for too long. The lemonade was really tasty though. Incredibly refreshing!Food: 6/10Price: 8/10Service: 7/10 The server started taking the person behind us order while she was finishing ringing us up. Kinda felt odd since we were the only two people inside, so the rush didn't feel necessary.

Don't come here for boba drinks, unless you bring your own flavoring to add to the drink.We heard about a special they had of buy 1 get 1 free drinks, so we got the matcha milk tea and hojicha milk tea. Came out to be $5 for 2 large drinks + boba. Great deal, except the drinks tasted sooo watered down and lacked flavor. The boba was soft but also flavorless. We had to take the drinks home and fix them with of our own matcha powder and hojicha powder. This made them much tastier.Even with the half off price, we didn't feel the drinks were worth it. We'd rather pay full price elsewhere.Other than that, the decor is cute and staff were nice. I believe the cafe is more known for their soft serve ice creams, which we haven't tried.

Great prices, flavorful teas on ice with Boba, lychee jelly, etc. There are food items as well, but I haven't tried them, yet. I usually order a quick Passion fruit green tea, rose milk tea, or lavender milk tea. They are all delicious! Very good customer service - the one in the photo is my favorite; she is sweet, kind, friendly, fast, makes my drinks like I request, and always greets me and other customers with a smile and good personality. ?

$5.99 for a milk tea, $0.75 for boba topping, $1 extra for a large cup. I asked for no ice and the server told me that would be $1 extra so I said I will take less ice. My cup of boba milk tea was $8.44 with tax, and more than HALF the cup was ice. This is how much ice left AFTER I finished the milk tea. I was appalled. I am from the SF Bay Area, and I'm used to paying $7-8 for a cup of milk tea, but this was ridiculous. Never going back here for a milk tea unless I feel like throwing away my money. We also got 2 pc bao's which were tasty, but also pretty pricey. The baos I can live with, but the milk tea was just too ridiculous. Can you imagine if I didn't ask for LESS ice? Would it just be a cup of ice for me?
