    “We had a great meal here—the food was definitely the highlight. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared. That said, we did have to wait a bit to be seated, and the restaurant was really busy, so the service felt a bit slow and scattered at times. It’s understandable given how packed they were, but it did impact the overall experience slightly. Still, if you're not in a rush and want a tasty meal, it's worth a visit.”

    “As someone who’s been to a lot of boba cafes, prices are really really good!! $2-3 for a drink. Milk tea is maybe an eensy bit bland but it’s nowhere near the worst I’ve had and it’s totally okay. Usually fast but sometimes they have little people working and a lot of business and it can take 30 minutes for one drink, just try to anticipate the rush before you go. Never had the crepes but I hear they’re good.”

    “Cute coffee shop close to campus. They use mass produced syrups which I don’t love in my lattes. That’s the only reason I’m giving them 4 vs 5 stars. I’m spoiled by yummy homemade syrups from coffee shops. My blueberry latte was good. They have alternative milks and it was reasonably priced.”
