This is a nice place to get some unique drinks! We ordered: a coffee drink, fruity JCB, lavender oat matcha (seasonal), a chocolate cookie and a matcha strawberry cookie. JCB stands for Jasmine Cold Brew.
I had the fruity JCB and you could taste the jasmine which is nice because sometimes with fruit teas, the base tea flavor gets lost. So it tasted like jasmine tea plus some fruit flavors. I believe it was strawberry and mango, but I may remember incorrectly. It was refreshing.
My sister had the lavender oat matcha, and you could really taste the lavender and matcha. So if you like both of those, you'll like this drink.
The baristas were very friendly and informative. They offered to warm the cookies for us, and I recommend it! They came out soft and warm. The chocolate one is a chocolate lover's dream. It has chocolate all throughout; it's not just chocolate chips. The matcha strawberry was also soft. The strawberry flavor was stronger than the matcha.
It was definitely worthwhile to stop here and get some drinks!
The store is very hipster, so I can see why a lot of youngsters like to come here. I ordered their strawberry hibiscus with 50% sweetness. I normally do 25%, but it said it wasn't recommended. At 50% sweetness, it was perfect for me because the drink was a bit tart from the strawberries! Highly recommend it if you're looking for something less sweet, but not in the mood for milk tea.
I had Thai iced boba tea. It was okay. The bobas were very chewy than I expected and sticking to my teeth. It has a great ambience and they also seem to sell plants and paintings. My rating is mostly for the ambience rather than for the tea.
I'm so glad I found TeaLyfe! The Vietchata is now my absolute favorite way to drink coffee, and I highly recommend adding coffee jelly. Their housemade jelly is soft and chewy, and has a great coffee taste. I also love getting the Strawberry Lychee and add lychee jelly. They put a LOT of jelly and it goes perfectly with the diced strawberry that comes with the drink.
Every time I've visited the staff have been very nice and courteous. The decor is cute, parking is easy, and it's just a great atmosphere.
This place is definitely pretty charming! I really enjoy coming here.
Hidden inside of Vietnam Town, with outdoor/indoor seatings, cute simple plants Displays, relaxing and welcoming atmosphere, are some of the main reasons why this place caught my attention in the first place.
Upon entering this place, I immediately noticed the simple menu, the Cleanliness, and definitely the friendliness of the workers here.
The lady and one of the guy who works here immediately greeted me right away and ready to take my order with pleasant smiles. I Absolutely like that!🥰 Really like the perfect amount of sweetness in my Jasmine with Crystal Boba and my Strawberry Macha Milk tea. I can actually tasted the tea unlike some other places!😁
I am totally happy with my experiences here so far. They have other drinks and snacks that I am going to try the next time I'm back.
