Saw this place on Google maps, walked to it from a prior engagement, and it's so cute. All well upkept, clean, great vibe, and the owners were so friendly. Food tasted great and the boba had so many options.

The cheese steak was the BEST I have ever had!! This shop is so adorable and clean and both owners are so kind!! Thank you for the great experience!

I've only been twice, but the boba and the food are amazing.Wasn't jazzed about being addressed with "can I help you with something?" Sounds like I'm being profiled in a clothing store. I decided at that moment that I wouldn't be tipping. This greeting wasn't from the co-owner, btw; she's awesome.Besides that little bit of oddness, I'd go back.

Trying to be honest without being a jerk.We came here because we wanted milk tea with boba and this place is highly rated.It was, without a doubt, the worst milk tea and boba either of us have had. The boba was old, stale, and hard. It stuck in your teeth and was not soft and chewy. The consistency was like that of a tootsie roll.The taro flavored tea I ordered didn’t have enough taro flavoring and tasted bland. It was barely even purple.This place may have other items that warrant a high rating, but the milk tea does not.

My sister and I stepped in there for lunch, we had the Rubens and were surprisingly impressed, next to the schnitzel Bank I have never had a Reuben as good, the price was extremely reasonable and the staff and owners went above and beyond to make us comfortable, I will definitely be back , not a whole lot of restaurants impress me in the last 5 years, this one definitely gets rave reviews

Stopped in to use an atm but came out with a burger in my hand. They serve crazy good fries, and their burgers blew my mind. Great service and friendly atmosphere. Eastown Cafe opened very recently and already has outstanding food. I definitely recommend trying them out.

Excellent customer service, the group of us like everything we got a lot - only issue was chicken tenders were a little dry but they were still good!Great selection of Boba!Definitely come check it out, good music and a clean welcoming place. Will be back!Vegetarian options: Salads, a killer grilled cheese, ect!Kid-friendliness: Kids meals!

Honestly super disappointed. We've been waiting to try this place for a few weeks now and it did not impress. Food was ice cold. Way too much pepper on everything. Just overpriced sub par food. Also didnt have any fries because they 'forgot to do inventory'. Very disappointing.

These fries are the best. The workers are very nice and helpful. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Quality food. Quality ingredients. I have been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. The food always delivers and always exceeds my expectations. I can not think of a better place to recommend when you just need some late night comfort food.

They were very friendly, welcoming, and definitely worth checking out! The Coffee Lover and Strawberry Frenzy milkshakes we're delicious! We will definitely be back to try the rest of the treats they offer. It took us a minute to find their new location but is in between Great clips and Golden Wok on East Beltline.

In my opinion this is a terrible idea. They had a very bad business model and never are open. Apparently they moved locations but they still have this one. I just wish they would clear out so a proper business could go there and bring some more life to the neighborhood. Instead of just another empty building ran to the ground by complete dimwits

Hot dogs are nothing special... suggest you choose Yesterdog a few steps away. Out of beef items on multiple occasions. Such a bummer! Had great potential. Very disappointing.

I went to a spur of the moment To try it out, I had seen a friend of mine post about it on Facebook. I have nothing but great things to say about it, very friendly and very speedy service.
