“This is one of my favorite dessert spots! All of their drinks and chè are amazing, and the pandan waffle is a dream. I like the red bean combo, taro lover, Bambu combo, Fruit addict. So many great options to choose from. I've ordered the pandan waffle at other locations, but they never compared to this location. Theirs is always big, crispy and chewy!Việt owned and operated! I miss Nhu, but everyone is kind and great.“
“Delicious açaí bowl and the best chai I’ve had since I was on a trip to India. Great customer service and safety standards during these times. Will definitely be back and excited to try more off the menu. (And sharing the news of this place with friends already because I hope they stay in our community for a very long time! Love having delicious and healthy options like this!)“
“Stepping into this family-run tea business felt like entering a haven of warmth. From the moment I crossed the threshold, I was enveloped in the comforting embrace of hospitality and tradition. The atmosphere was infused with a sense of heritage, as if each cup of tea held within it generations of knowledge and craftsmanship passed down through the family. The selection was diverse and carefully curated, showcasing a blend of classic favorites and unique flavors that tantalized the senses. But what truly set this business apart was the personal touch of the family members themselves, who greeted customers with genuine warmth and shared their wealth of tea wisdom with enthusiasm. Whether it was a recommendation tailored to my taste preferences or a story behind a particular blend, every interaction felt like a glimpse into the rich tapestry of tea culture. In a world dominated by mass-produced beverages, this family-run tea business stood as a beacon of authenticity and connection, inviting tea lovers to embark on a journey of discovery and delight with every sip. It was that good, I came back but this time, I was convinced to try a different flavor.“
“This place is fun! It's a really good spot for a catch-up time with your friends, or if you're like my roommate and I, just a place to go to "get out of the house." The last time we were there, we noticed that there were board games in the front and got really excited. So we pulled one out and started playing. It created such a good vibe all around. The drinks are really good, and the service was extremely friendly. Because of the board games, my roommate and I will probably be back to hang out there since we live so close.“
“Tropical Berry is an absolute gem! Not only do they serve unparalleled açaí bowls with the freshest organic açaí imported directly from Brazil, and their coxinha is irresistibly delicious! What truly sets this place apart, however, is their outstanding customer service. Every visit feels personal and warm, like I'm being welcomed into a friend's home. A must-visit for anyone craving an authentic and delectable Brazilian treat!“
“Finally! We sampled Lasa Sandwiches and Pearls—a Filipino culinary experience. Opting for a rice-free option, I tried the Longganisa with eggs and bread, beef lumpia, and Taho milk tea. Meanwhile, Luke opted for the adobo sandwich. I personally preferred the adobo over the Longganisa. It's a unique and worthwhile experience, especially if you haven't tried it before!“
“Main reason I go here is for the waffles and the occasional drinks. Service is pretty fast on weekdays but can get really crowded towards the weekend. Going to this place during a weekend rush is kind of annoying, especially when other people are really loud and ordering A LOT of items.Workers here are pretty cool. If there is a problem with your order or drink, ask any of them about it and they will correct it fast.“
“I go to The SIX for their HIIT classes and Slow Flow Yoga classes - and they are great! Nice rotation of instructors, upbeat classes, and amazing post-work smoothies (you gotta try The Biggie). I've been a loyal member for the past 1.5 years, and love it. Note that if you are not looking for hot HIIT/intense work out yoga classes, this may not be the studio for you.“
“Came because a different cafe was unfortunately closed but also because the pictures were so enticing. Which we're SO GLAD we came because the drinks my husband & I ordered were delicious, addictive, with friendly & quick service from the staff. We definitely look forward to coming back to try other drinks from the menu.“
“I am White Zombie addict. I have tried a couple drinks here, but I come back for the White Zombie. I had a Blueberry Cream Cheese muffin this morning and it is divine. The staff here is always cheery and nice whether it is a hot summer day or a dark and rainy morning. Great neighborhood coffee stand.“
“The poke here is delicious! The brown rice is cooked perfectly, the tuna is very tender and fresh, and the traditional sauce is ?? The portion sizes are also great for the price, and the gentleman at the front was very kind. Also, the tarot boba tea is ?. It’s hard to find good tarot tea too, so I will definitely be coming back ?✨ I also really like the style of the cafe, but I do wish it felt a little more cozy/less empty? ❤️ But don’t let that deter you from enjoying the food ☺️“
“Absolutely YES!!! This place is delicious and the owner is so nice!! I was visiting the area for work with a colleague and we tried this place after dinner. I had the coconut and walnut ice cream with fruit and sweet cream on top. It was amazing!! I wish I could go back and get more. My colleague had the coconut and pineapple ice cream and he also loved it. Highly recommend!“
“Love this boba shop. The staff are sweet and accommodating- I like their drinks because I know I cannot make them at home so it’s worth it. I always get fruity drinks and I love the Hawaiian or Mango and Passionfruit green tea with kiwi and aijiyu jelly! Always fresh aswell which is amazing!!!“
“I just got a coffee from here and ordered the Toffee Mocha per recommendation from the barrista. The drink is awesome, which makes sense given the people behind the drink. What a great way to start the say. Great coffee made by great people! I recommend pre-reading their menu or asking for a recommendation from their signature coffee list.“
“My boyfriend and I just moved here and wanted to find our new açaí bowl / smoothie spot and emerald smoothie was the place to try. Walking in the lady working was super nice and patient with us looking at their large menu. We ordered a açaí bowl and smoothie and they were both very delicious!! Definitely recommend and will be coming back“
“I ordered the chia pudding berry parfait with peanut butter granola.-The server was friendly and helpful with suggestions.I received my food pretty quickly!I loved the combination of granola and chia pudding. However the granola tasted like puffed rice and not toasted oats. All in all, it was tasty!“
“La Copa has the best coffee in the area. Their staff understands the science and art of pulling espresso shots and their machine is calibrated properly so your drink is well made. They have a nice variety of food options made on premises and everything is delicious. Our favorites are the breakfast burritos (huge and yummy), the coffee cakes (flavors rotate), GF banana bread w/ chips, the danishes, the marzuka bars, the cookies, and the turkey pesto panini. The owners and staff are hard-working and kind. They care about their locals and the newbies. Do yourself a favor and stop in. You deserve it!“
“Stumbled onto this amazing place tonight. Fruit and chocolate syrup and whipped cream. What's not to love. This place has its own special vibe. Telemundo playing on the TV, Foosball table, arcade cabinet, tacos, and bright colors everywhere. This desert restaurant is located inside the Mexican food restaurant. Order to go or sit at one of the small tables.“
“This place is my go-to for fresh fruit smoothies. It's a grab-and-go type of shop, easily accessible with ample, free parking outside and a bus stop steps away. I've probably never been inside more than five consecutive minutes, nor seen a line more than two people long.The operator, Zach, is friendly, fast, and pressure-free-patient as you choose a regular or large size from the display of 40 recipes. He's also a certified nutritionist (a plaque on the wall says so).You might think from the intense flavors that the smoothies here are loaded with added sugars, but--surprise--that sweetness is completely natural! (I've tried replicating the quality myself, and can vouch for the wonders of banana and citrus.)As a quick source for a healthy indulgence whether I'm too busy for a full meal, feeling under the weather, or wrapping up a workout, Emerald City Smoothie holds a special spot on Aurora Ave and in my heart.“
“Excellent coffee: we got the Mexican spice latte and the regular latte. They were both delicious: great consistency and mix of spices. If you are in the area looking for good coffee, this is definitely a space you should frequent. You will enjoy it!“
“Colton and Clarissa were super helpful, they made sure that I was taken care of and happy even though I had misunderstood their cup sizing with an online order. You have a great team working at this location! I appreciate you both for all your efforts!“
“I go to this specific Ben and Jerry’s location very often as I am never dissatisfied with what I get and it never fails to be extremely good. The workers are always very nice and most of the flavors are fully stocked and fresh most of the time. (I suggest “the tonight dough”, “phish food”, or “marshmallow sky” as those are my personal favorites.).“
“Willy’s is great! Seating is right above the tennis courts and there’s a ping pong table upstairs. The food is good and there are pitchers of beer, smoothies, draft kombucha, and more great options available on the menu. I was glad to stumble upon this cafe before going to the park across the street!“
“I don't know what took me so long to discover this place! I love that it's self serve. The frozen yogurt is so good. I love a good plain froyo and this place does it right. The topping bar has a wide range to select from. The fruit was fresh too. Can't wait to go back!“
