Cuckoo's Cafe

One of their best drinks they have if you live to drink Sprites. Be careful of the lemon seeds when you’re drinking fast. Other than that, the drink was amazing and the food was too. Tried their chicken nuggets and fries. My family and friends agreed that this is the best bubble tea spot. Can’t wait for my fifth visit. Each visit was amazing experience!

This place is fantastic! The music they play is relaxing, and the food is amazing. The spices really punch, and the food is expertly made. The drinks are great, and the flavor combos are great. Everyone behind the counter is nice and exact. And I had no surcharges or hidden fees on the receipt.

Stopped by tonight to try their tempura because it’s very hard to find a shop that sells them and they were amazing ! Tastes just like how i would get in Taiwan !! Jane was super sweet and it was so nice meeting her ! I can’t wait to come back and try more food !! The lychee yogurt drink is a must try !

This place is so freaking cute! My friend and I came from NC and were really craving bubble tea, so we decided to stop here. They have so many good food and drink options. I had the lemon green tea and the sesame balls, and both were delicious! The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars was because my friend is celiac and nothing was marked on their menu for people with allergies. That wasn’t a problem at all, but when we asked if any of their drinks were gluten free they didn’t have an answer and went to call someone. But we never actually got an answer so she wasn't comfortable getting anything. My experience was great, I just with they had their allergens listed.

Adorable cafe with cute themeing! They have themed merchandise you can buy, plenty of drinks options, and snacks & meal options. The noble tea was the perfect sweetness with boba & lycee to compliment the subtle floral flavor. Staff is so nice & welcoming!

With so many choices for bubble tea places on Buford highway, this is one of the good ones. They offer flavorful bubble tea as well as food. The tea took a minute to come out but it was still worth the wait. We got the Oolong milk tea with coffee jelly and grass jelly which tasted fresh and great tea aromas. And the honey dew milk tea which was refreshing. You can modify your sweetness and ice level (although they do charge extra for no ice). Compared to other places I’d say they are a bit pricier but it’s one to throw in the rotation for tea choices.

Let me tell you how much I dislike oolong milk tea and then this place made me fall in love with it!! More like craving for it now. Love the 2 ladies that work here. You can tell they love working here. I will have to come back and try their food and give an update. UPDATE : food was great My favorites ❤️❤️❤️ 1. Fries with spicy mayo 2. Tofu puffs 3. Condensed milk donuts

inks and quality of food are great. But beware that even if the menu doesn’t specify that something is spicy, you should clarify that you do not want it to be spicy when you order. I ordered the zesty bites (chicken with spicy Mayo & garlic). The menu did not state that these had a spicy seasoning on them and the girl taking my order didn’t ask if I wanted original, mild or spicy (like they ask for some of the other chicken dishes or fries). The zesty bites were so hot that neither me nor my friend could eat them. We showed the employee that there was an orange/red spicy seasoning, but she told us it was just the Mayo. But my friend had ordered original chicken bites and was dipping them in spicy Mayo and it was not nearly as hot as the zesty bites. It was frustrating that we were showing and telling them that the chicken was spicy and they basically told us no. We had to throw the zesty bites away which felt like a waste of money. Pictures show that there was an orange/red seasoning on the chicken in addition to the spicy Mayo and garlic.

My go to place to get work done in the evening. The staff are so kind and friendly, and the vibe is familial, but not loud where you can't focus on work. I love the spicy chicken sandwich and the nuggets - I could branch out, as they have so many different options. I always get an iced black coffee with soy milk (and you can adjust sweetness by percentage- I get 50%, half sweet). Plenty of outlets and seating, games to play if you want. Any concerns about payment have always been handled with ease, to reference previous reviews. Consistent, reliable service - I'm so glad I found this spot near me! You have to check it out.

Cozy seating and quite the array of options for bubble tea and snacks! Came to order the Taiwanese chicken today and ordered it spicy and it came out so delicious and hot. Service is quite quick as well no matter what you order but I can't say how it'd be if it was super busy.

Love lots of things about this place - open late - super cute inside - game options - unique menu You order at the counter and then sit and wait for your food to be called. It was very tasty. Beware the spicy nuggets are quite spicy (employee warned us too.) we want to come back and try a whole variety of items for an afternoon lunch sometime as many items look great.

Last Wednesday, I visited Cuckoos Cafe and had a lovely experience. The place is really beautiful, and the staff is great. Each table has a charging point, making it perfect for working. The ambiance is very pretty. It used to be a tea house that I frequented before the pandemic, and I loved the seating arrangement back then. They've kept the same arrangement, which is fantastic. I tried the fried chicken sandwich, and it was delicious--juicy and crispy. Later, I had some donuts, which were decent as well.

This is such a cute little cafe to get a nice drink and have a chat with a friend. We sat in a little booth that you can curtain off. There were lots of people studying around us, so it seems conducive to that if you need a quiet place to go. The owner (or manager) came up to me and asked if I was warm enough (it was a chilly day), and I thought that was so kind and considerate! My taro bubble tea was delightful and HUGE. I got it at half the sugar level, which was still plenty sweet. I'd definitely return if I was in the area!

The service here is great and the food and drinks are overall good as well. This is my go to place when it comes to working or studying. It gets pretty packed quick, so try to get there early if you want to secure a spot. Hopefully they expand! The games and activities they have are limited, but still have a good amount. The music and overall vibe of the place is very welcoming and relaxing.

I love this place overall. They have plenty of drink options, snacks, games, and decent amount of space and outlets. Service is always friendly and welcoming. I love getting the spicy chicken nuggets here, they're not heavily battered and well seasoned both in flavor and overall coverage. I've had the fried oysters which are battered differently like a light crisp texture. I also enjoy the different sauce options. The winter melon black tea and Thai tea is what you expect in a good way. I need to come back and try more drinks.

I've passed by Cuckoo's Cafe so many times and finally decided to check it out! So happy I did because they have Taiwanese Chicken Cutlets which are my absolute favorite. I got the Spicy one and it was seasoned to perfection. As a spice lover with high tolerance, this was just the right amount of spice and I loved every bite. A chicken thigh is fried to perfection, while staying both juicy and crispy. Definitely recommend trying this! A bit steep at $9 but unlike any other.

Signs that says "No Amex and $8 min on credit card"... You know it's own by Chinese LOL The fish tofu was overwhelmingly salted. Might kill you if you have high blood pressure. The Strawberry Yogurt green tea based drink was refreshing and helped with the salty snack. P.S there's alot of cute chick decors, which you can buy.

My first time here and would be coming back! I was craving bubble tea late at night. This is one of the places that stay open late on Sundays. All other shops close at 9 pm but this opened until 11 pm on Sunday. I arrived and there were quite a few people studying or working. The vibe is definitely more on a quieter side, or at least at the time I came here. I ordered the mango milk tea and mild chicken nuggets. My order number was called not even 5 mins after ordering. I picked up my drink but didn't see my food so I sat back down. Now there's some sort of disconnect, or maybe I just didn't hear them call my number again because I waited for 20 minutes for my food but hasn't come out yet. Decided to check with the counter on an update on my food but it was just sitting at the bar. They could have yelled the number out again, or brought us our order instead. I was the only customer at the time waiting for food/drink order so I feel like the wisest thing to do was just bring me my food? Other than that, I liked the nuggets - it was nice and spicy and crispy. The milk tea was a little too sweet for my liking but was nevertheless delicious and refreshing.

The drinks are pretty good; I normally order the oolong milk tea. The tapioca is usually a good chewy texture but there are times when it is hard. As for food I have tried the bento boxes and chicken nuggets. The bento boxes are okay, I wouldn't go o it if my way to order one if not already here. The garlic soy chicken nuggets however are so addictive!! I have ordered the spicy nuggets once which were so spicy I could only eat two so be warned. When there are big groups it can get loud and gets hard to focus and study if you don't have noise canceling earbuds/headphones. There are some big tables and small tables here with power outlets, so definitely an option for studying here. It's super cute inside and they are normally playing K-pop! The staff here is also pretty nice and welcoming.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon. It was my first time, so I was unsure what to order. They staff was very helpful and gave suggestions. I ended up getting a brown sugar milk tea, which was my first one; it was delicious. I also ordered the zesty bites chicken nuggets... I give them a 10/10. Flavorful, hot, perfect seasoning. I sat in to eat both, and they have nice seating, so you can chill comfortably. There is plenty of parking in the area. I am excited to go back to try some other items. Recommended!

I appreciate the owner's prompt response and willingness to rectify my issue. However, my response is that I should NOT have to go out of my way to ask you to not include tip (which is tacked onto the after tax amount btw). Then when prompted to pay, it asks you to tip AGAIN. As a business, you are already putting customers in an uncomfortable situation by doing this, regardless of whether or not it states this "on the menu" in small letters. What am I tipping for? Something I already paid for, which is my drink? Is this a full-service restaurant? Sorry, but I simply do not agree with this business practice.

Good food & drink with cute little seating nooks that would be perfect for sitting and studying. We got the fruitarian and taro teas, the pork sandwich, zesty chicken nuggets with garlic and spicy mayo (recommend!!) and the popcorn shrimp. Everything was a hit except for the shrimp, which tasted cheap with a lackluster batter.

Great bubble tea and priced competitively for the area! The brown sugar bubble tea is yummy! Also, the pork sandwich was deep fried perfect and the slaw definitely elevated it! Spent $16 after tax. Cute and cozy interior nice for meeting a friend or intimate business meeting. Only gripe was the two young ladies at the front that takes the order we're not friendly. No greeting or hello and when they weren't laughing at people ordering they were on their phones.

Hands down, my favorite boba place during my Georgia trip and I went to a different boba shop every day! I got my usual Passion Fruit tea and a snack, the Osaka Chicken Nuggets. The designs on the cups were so cute! It has chickens on it. The Osaka Chicken Nuggets were savory and crispy. The sauce was nice and rich and definitely nailed the takoyaki element. The Passion Fruit tea tasted better than the other ones that I usually get. They do not put that much ice in their drinks either. This local joint was great! Hopefully, I can stop by sometime in the future if I'm ever in the area.

Cute shop for bubble tea and snack food. Would recommend trying their chicken (taiwanese-style fried chicken) and fried tofu, which come as bite-sized pieces, crispy, and well seasoned. Portions are enough for 2 people to share as a snack. The drinks are pretty standard for bubble tea around here. Range of options with milk teas and fruity teas, with ability to adjust for sweetness and ice level. *Credit card has an $8 minimum, just one drink or snack will likely not meet that minimum.* Also has a good cafe ambience for working/studying. There are plenty of tables and accessible outlets, along with a few small booths (with semi-sheer curtains for some privacy).

Cuckoos is a great Taiwanese boba/snack chain in the area. This location has a lot of seating and is popular with students. The ambiance is very cozy, study vibes. The service was pretty quick after we ordered, and food came shortly after. Purely food based review: Spicy Sausage Bento Box - Great option if you loved eating Chinese sausages growing up and it comes with some Taiwanese chicken nuggets too. Tastes pretty authentic. Hawaiian Chicken Nuggets - They serve a bunch of different flavors of their Taiwanese chicken and this one intrigued us. We wouldn't really recommend it though as it's just a slightly sweet sauce and eventually gets mushy. Mango Milk Tea - I love places that do this drink, tastes very creamy, very yummy, highly recommend getting with 75% sugar. Strawberry Green Tea - Great for those that don't want a milk tea and want something refreshing on a hotter day!

First time trying cuckoos cafe in Doraville and I had a pleasant experience! They have a variety of items on their menu but I just ordered my usual boba tea flavor (oolong milk tea, no boba, 75% sugar, w/ Oreo). My boba tea tasted great although I was only able to really taste the whole milk that they use and less of the oolong tea flavor lol. This didn't bother me so much though. The tea was prepared quickly so I didn't have to wait a long time. I overall did enjoy my tea and my experience:

Charming tea spot with hearty "snacks". Great for kids...there are adorable little bird stuffies as a decor theme in addition to relaxing music and a very chill vibe. Various forms of chicken nuggets abound on the menu. Love the booths. It offers a nice selection of tea-based (and some coffee) drinks. I recommend the chicken sandwich...spicy!

Wanted to grab a quick boba drink while i was in the same complex for dinner in Buford Hwy. The service unfortunately wasn't great. The people working there were busy talking and not attending the customers. Had to wait 10mins to get the attention to place an order. Ordered their 'speciality' drinks which are a bit pricey but a disappoitnment as they didnt do justice for the price. The fruit tea's itself come with lemon slices with Seeds which is an unpleasant experience when you bite into them with boba. The decor and seating is the only positive for my experience.

This boba place is so cute and the service was so good. Not to mention the donuts and food here were delicious!

I've had the cuckoo's cafe on Steve Reynolds so knowing that there was a new location on Buford definitely prompted a visit from me. Since I was getting a haircut right across the street. It was a simplistic order. I ordered a Taiwanese popcorn chicken, along with pork egg sandwich. And damn, Cuckoo's Cafe just throws it down always and it doesn't matter about location. The only thing I would say is that this location is a bit spicier than the location in Duluth. The pork egg sandwich is fried pork and then they top it off with onions and also a sweet sort of mayo along with an egg. It's pretty delicious. If you're only getting ONE dish, I would have to say hands down the Taiwanese popcorn chicken would be my recommendation. I hope this place stays and gets a ton of business because it just makes availability for me even better. The food was banging and always a winner when it comes to get a popcorn chicken. If you're ever want just a snack, this would a 100% definite recommendation from me because it would be my first thought of my go-to.

Pretty empty on a weekday afternoon. I came for boba and food; the black pearls were way too soft but the black milk tea was good. The chicken sandwich, which I got spicy was phenomenal. Crispy, and the spicy mayo was great.

I was sad that Teahouse Formosa was replaced until I tried Cuckoo's Cafe. I'm in love with their Taiwanese Sausage Bento and Fried Chicken Nuggets! The food is fairly priced with good portions. The Taiwanese sausage bento comes with two sausages (sliced in half) with some fried chicken nuggets (or fried chicken cutlet). It also comes with a side of veggies, an egg, and some minced pork. The chicken nuggets are authentic and come in a big bag that usually requires sharing. Since discovering this place, we have been ordering from here every 2-3 weeks!

Tea and service not up to par but very cute looking cafe. Tea was very milky with little flavor, the fried chicken was a 10! The service was not customer friendly, rushed and non-accommodating. But looks cute and just many good to study.

I love cuckoos cafe. the staff are always really nice and the drinks are always rlly good.my favorite thing to get are the Taiwanese nuggets and a strawberry matcha latte!!!!!

Super cute little boba spot with a variety of seating for groups to hangout. There's booths, tables, and even couch areas for lounging. I got a matcha milk tea with regular boba and cheese foam on top. It was a pretty good drink and a solid choice if you're looking to try something other than some of the bigger chains that exist in the Buford highway area. There were also a lot of snacks that I'd love to try next time when I'm not full from dinner. My one issue was the smell inside. Might have been due to what they were using to sanitize, but it smelled somewhat of bleach and it was hard to ignore the smell inside and enjoy my drink. It was also kind of stuffy inside, and bathrooms had run out of hand soap. Staff was friendly and efficient. In terms of parking, there is a pretty large parking lot and it wasn't super packed. It's also on a strip near a ton of restaurants so definitely convenient to stop by!

Popular Cuckoo's Cafe of Duluth has opened a second location on Buford Highway in Doraville in the former Tea House Formosa space (http://bit.ly/38Gqrmt). It's in the "Korean Town" two-story strip with Be Banh Mi and Yen Jing, behind Matcha Cafe Maiko. The original Cuckoo's Cafe in Gwinnett opened in September 2020 and this Doraville location quickly followed suit with their official grand opening on February 27, 2021. They were in soft-open mode before then. This is a locally-owned Taiwanese tea and snack cafe. That's what Tea House Formosa was too, but Cuckoo's has a completely different style and menu. I'm really only making this comparison because Cuckoo's happened to take over the old Formosa space. Tea House Formosa tried to "elevate" the bubble tea experience to a certain degree (e.g. nicer, more restaurant-like decor and furniture, tea served in teapots, teacups, and glasses, etc.). Cuckoo's brings it back to the basics and, as I wrote in my review for the Duluth location (https://bit.ly/3mgChvi), it's cut more in the mold of Quickly and Sweet Hut. The interior largely resembles Tea House Formosa. The layout is the same and I think they might be using the same furniture too, though they have made some changes. Examples include the entryway which now features a photogenic Cuckoo's Cafe branded seating area and a couple modern-looking booths near the order counter (which I think are new). All in all, the space looks nice, clean, and comfortable. It's a great meetup spot. Note they do not have any outside or patio seating. The menu consists of over 25 flavored teas and milk teas ($4.50 or $4.99 each), six fruit "tea cocktails" ($5.50 each), slushies and yogurt drinks ($4.99 each), real fruit smoothies ($6.50 each), and hot drinks, like honey citron tea and honey jujube tea ($3.99 each). There are over a dozen topping choices (e.g. chia seeds, egg pudding, assorted jellies, popping passion fruit) and those cost either $0.50 or $0.75 extra per topping. In addition, Cuckoo's offers $6.50 Frappuccinos, $4.99 spritzes, and specialty drinks like dalgona coffee (the whipped "400x" creamy coffee, $4.99). On the food side, it's a lot of fried snacks and street-food-type items, most priced in the $3.99 to $6.99 range. Things like Taiwanese Chicken Nuggets (their most popular item), Taiwanese Sausage, Fish Cakes, and Takoyaki. They serve bento boxes too, most $10.99 each, with meats such as chicken and pork cutlets and minced pork. At this location, for drinks, I tried Cuckoo's Matcha Milk Tea ($4.99) with cheese foam (+$0.75) and red bean (also extra, not on the menu) as well as their Mango Tango ($5.50) fruit tea cocktail made with mango jam, lemon, and grapefruit. I had the Matcha Milk Tea at less sweet (75% of default sweetness) because I prefer less sweet drinks. I got the Mango Tango at default sweetness (100%) at manager Coco's recommendation. In general, I like cheese foam drinks. The other manager, Tammy, told me that they had recently changed their cheese foam recipe. I tasted the foam first before mixing it into the drink, like I normally do, and it was good. Definitely different from the cheese foam at other tea shops. What made Cuckoo's cheese foam unique was it wasn't nearly as salty as the other places. Its flavor was more subtle and balanced. As for mouthfeel, it was right up there in terms of richness and creaminess. Good stuff. I'm not sure they put enough red bean in my drink, but what was there was on par with other red bean I've had at places like Kung Fu Tea and Sharetea. The Mango Tango had lots of real bits of fresh fruit in it. I got some in every sip. Overall, the drink was good quality and I enjoyed it. The only fruit that couldn't be sucked through the straw was the lemon. Those were sliced. I like how you're able to suck the fruit through the straw. I can appreciate the other fruit teas that have bigger pieces of fruit inside. Those drinks certainly look nicer, but they're not as easy or practical when actually consuming the fruit. I liked both the Mango Tango and Matcha Milk Tea and would get them again. On the food side, I tried the Taiwanese Pork Chop Sandwich ($5.99) since I hadn't tried this one yet from Cuckoo's. It's similar to Cuckoo's Chicken Sandwich. The pork version is made with a deep-fried pork chop (pan-fried is also an option) topped with a fried egg and homemade pickled vegetable slaw on a toasted sesame bun. I also tried the Fried Tofu with garlic soy sauce and the same homemade pickled slaw. Not to be confused with the Tofu Puffs, this one wasn't on the menu yet when I tried it. The sandwich was satisfying, the pork quite tasty. The slaw in both items was just as delicious as the Duluth location. The bottom bun of the sandwich got soggy, however, so I think they should figure out a solution for that. The Fried Tofu was yummy. Hot, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and savory. Thank you to Tammy, Coco, and their helper for the outstanding service.

Cuckoo's Cafe is another must-visit small business for some great tasting milk teas, a variety of other types of drinks, and many snacks and food items to fill your belly! This place has been open for less than 2 months, and it looks like everything has settled into an organized and capably run restaurant. R and I came here for a couple of milk teas in the afternoon earlier this week. Parking was easy to find, and I'm sure that parking spaces are always available. The theming for Cuckoo's Cafe is very cutesy, with the use of what looks like a baby chicken incorporated into its logos. The employees wear face masks. All the customers that I saw come into the restaurant also wore face masks. Indoor dining is available and allowed. Although we didn't stay to enjoy our drinks, the seats looked very comfortable. The employees were very quick and efficient. The whole restaurant looked clean and well maintained. I ordered a coconut milk tea, light on the ice, 50% sugar, and regular boba. R ordered a black milk tea with light ice, and regular boba. Our drinks were ready within 5 minutes, and were made exactly how we ordered them, and were very refreshing on a warm afternoon. The boba here are thick and chewy. The plastic cups used for tea are well made, almost like souvenir cups. I'd like to come back and try some of the snacks here, especially the Taiwanese chicken nuggets and see how they compare to the chicken nuggets at Quickly, which I think are pretty darn good.

Awesome place for great tea and snacks. Cuckoo's cafe sits where Tea House Formosa used to be. I had super high expectations since I loved Tea House Formosa and I'm happy that Cuckoo's was able to reach them. Parking is really easy to find and the place still has the old decor and seating which is a little rustic and very cute with the addition of chicken stuffed animals, stickers, and even a cute chicken light on the wall. We ordered an oolong milk tea with boba and a winter melon milk tea with boba, both at 75% sweetness, and a side of their chicken nuggets. I absolutely loved the winter melon milk tea. Their drinks are on the sweeter side, so I thought it was a good choice to bring down the sweetness to 75%. (I have a sweet tooth so if you don't like your milk teas super sweet I recommend dropping it down to 50% even). The boba was alright, nothing special, but the tea was so good, I can't wait to come back and try it again! The chicken nuggets reminded me of my grandparent's chicken nuggets so it was a really nice taste of home. They were perfectly seasoned and the bag was filled to the brim. I can't remember specifically how much the pricing was, but I think the teas were about $4.50 and the chicken was about $5. Pretty standard compared to other places so that didn't really stand out to me. Overall, I can't wait to come back again and try more of their menu!

This is a cute spot on Buford hwy! They have plenty of parking and a lot of seating. The ambiance is nice but it is a bit warm inside. I got the brown sugar milk tea and it was on par with some of my favorite places. You get a good amount for the price too. Definitely try this place out!

Stopped by for takeout after hearing about this new cafe on buhi. Apparently there's another location in duluth. Got the minced pork bento, pork chop bento, chicken cutlet sandwich, and combo appetizer Togo. I think the flavors were good and prices were affordable enough. Although I do wish there was more minced pork in the bento. The cashier was very nice and the decor is left mostly the same from the old tea house Formosa that used to be here but with a cuter flare. They also have a variety of fruit and milk teas as well. Hope everyone check it out somewhere and support buhi small businesses!

This hidden gem is one of my favorite boba tea places. The shop is located in a shopping center that offers plenty of parking. It is spacious and clean inside with plenty of space for sitting with friends or even alone to get some work done. They also offer a huge selection of drink options. My favorite is the peach green tea and I add lychee. I have had the milk teas before but always find my way back to the green tea. It is refreshing and the packaging is adorable. The staff has always been friendly and fast. I would recommend giving them a try!

This location is where the former Tea House Formosa was. The tables are still the same, but the register set up is now at the counter. They have lots of drink options as well as food options. I ordered an Oolong Milk Tea, the Cuckoo's Chicken Sandwich, and their Taiwanese Chicken Nuggets both in mild. Just a note** they have a minimum of $8 for card payments. The oolong milk tea is just okay. Comparing it to other boba shops in the area, it's not as flavorful of a tea taste. I do like the packaging on the cups, you could possibly reuse it for something else lol. The Cuckoo's Chicken Sandwich I got in mild was good. The sauce tasted like gochujang, a Korean chili paste. The Taiwanese Chicken Nuggets reminds me of Quickly's Chicken Nuggets, which are the bomb! I feel like Cuckoo's portions are much bigger or the same amount. They taste identical that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference! I would love to come back and try their different snack options as well. This place could be a good study spot as well.

Stop reading this review and go get a mango milk tea. Alright, got your MMT? Good. Have a nice day. Oh wait, no no - go back. Get yourself a pork chop sandwich. Sorry about that. OH wait I forgot the Taiwanese Chicken Nuggets! And the Taiyaki for dessert! Sorry about that yea, now you should be good. So I love this place. I stopped by randomly and now I make sure to pass by for at least a mango milk tea every time I'm in the area - it's the best I've ever had. Honestly it's the best milk tea I've ever had period. The staff here is nice, the online system is perfect for ordering (though smoothies ordered will not be made until you walk in the door just to keep them from melting - they make them CRAZY quick though), all in all - "You're coocoo if you don't go to Cuckoo's" ....yea that was bad, sorry about that. But seriously, go here, they're amazing.

This is a new cafe that replaced Tea House Formosa. They're currently having a soft opening with 10% off drinks. We got the Fruitarian and Snap Dragon tea cocktails with lychee jelly. The cashier recommended no less than 75% sweet, which is what we went with but was still on the sweet side imo. The spicy chicken sandwich and spicy chicken cutlet were decent. I really liked the corn nuggets- they were pretty unique! Overall, still would give it a 4/5 and would plan to come back to try some other food and drinks!

Absolutely love this place. Their tea drinks are amazing and you have to try their spicy French fries!

The location in Duluth was our go-to place for Taiwanese popcorn chicken. So I was happy that this location opened up on BuHi. Now we have 2 places in areas we frequent. I do recommend eating the chicken at the location instead of taking it to go. The steam will lessen the experience unless you have an air fryer to crisp them back up.

Great ambiance. However, customer service is lacking. $8 minimum cost so you must order a drink + some side dish to be able to order without cash. As to customer service, they fail to accommodate to the customer. I ordered an espresso drink to which I found too sweet. I asked for a replacement without sugar, and they responded I needed to order a new one instead. Another thing, be prepared to wash down any snacks you order as they are overtly salty. I feel like my blood pressure is rising from both their over salting and lack of customer service. Update: the manager confronted me about my post immediately after I submitted it. She failed to resolve anything and instead proceeded to lecture me about what I did wrong. Honestly, I felt disrespected she failed to make any amends or resolution. I didn't need an explanation for their lack of service. I will be cautious of providing feedback while in the space.

This is probably my 3rd-4th time being here now and I finally tried the food! Delicious just 5 stars!! I thought it was pretty cool they're open late at 11pm on a weekday so if you've already eaten dinner a while back and want some place to chill last minute for some time I highly recommend this place. We had their popcorn chicken (I had it mildly spicy), spring rolls, and fries. The seasoning on the chicken and fries is just so delicious. It kind of reminds me of the taste of Chinese bbq. Spring rolls were hot and fresh I could taste the fresh garlic, ginger, vermicelli, veggies. This is definitely a place that will always be one of my go to's

Came here for boba, but because of the $8 card minimum I ended up getting the chicken nuggets. Thank goodness I got the nuggets because I would've been super unsatisfied if I just had the boba. The pearls themself are decent, but the drink content is 5/10 at best. I got the brown sugar milk tea, and it's probably the weakest BSMT I've ever had. The chicken nuggets were fire though. Hecka value too. ~$7 after tax for a stuffed bag with fresh 5 spice chicken. You could split it with someone and still eat your fill. Moral of the story is chicken nuggets save the day

I stopped into Cuckoo's Cafe after eating at Arepa Grill because I wanted something sweet to top off my meal. I wasn't disappointed! Cuckoo's has a wide selection of tea-based drinks but I was surprised to learn they also have snacks and food dishes. Inside the cafe is quiet and spacious. With great caffeinated beverages, tucked away booths (and plenty of outlets!), and food...I could see myself spending hours studying or working here! Of course, that wasn't my mission for this particular visit but I could see myself coming back. For my drink, I got a passion fruit tea with lychee jellies -- 50% sugar and ice. Even at half sweetness, it was still VERY sweet...I can't imagine what 100% sugar is like. Definitely go lower on sugar than you think you want! There also aren't different choices for cup size, as everything is served in one tall cup. It's a good size for sharing if you're not super thirsty. Lastly, if you're just getting a single drink for yourself, bring cash. There was an $8 card minimum when I visited. Not a problem, but just a heads up to others who may not know!

1 star: Oolong Milk Tea was mostly milk (see pic) so you're basically drinking milk. Milk tea is "just ok" here. They do not accept cards if your order is less than $8. They don't take AMEX. The restroom has an odor that comes through the seating area. 2 stars: Food snack options are great! Great place to hang out and also a good option to work/study in... most places are either/or but this one brings both crowds. Good and cozy vibes. Good for families, couples, and the solo crowds. The seating areas are mostly clean.

This was a great bubble tea stop! Unfortunately it was hard to get a tea with less than half sugar, (I try to get as little sugar as possible since the bubbles are plenty sweet for me), but their flavors were good and the bobas were the perfect texture. I also got their crispy tofu spicy which had a great kick to them!

We came in for lunch on a weekend and were able to quickly order. The spicy chicken sandwich was prepared to order, and even when we had the sandwich after driving home for 15 minutes it was still hot and crispy. The winter melon tea was very sweet but not intolerably sweet. Loved the option to be able to sub milk for soy milk.

They didn't let me switch my drink after being way too milky. It was my first time. Other than that the food was worth it.

Got the peach green tea which was soo refreshing and sweet! I also got the lychee jelly (one free topping) but there didn't seem to be a lot at all. Atmosphere is very cute (comfy couches) and service was quick and friendly.

TLDR: The best hot, fresh, and crispy Taiwanese chicken nuggets but mediocre boba A new boba and snack joint on Buford!! For food, I got the Taiwanese chicken nuggets which were so amazing! They're piping hot as they're made to order and the flavor is delish. Also ordered the brown sugar boba milk tea and the oolong milk tea with red bean and boba. The tea was decent but for some reason the boba texture was off - they were partially chewy but the inside didn't feel like it was cooked all the way through.

Great place, great vibes, Great drinks. I got the jujibe tea and it tasted like sweet tea. Great juice. There is a nice and cozy environment that's nice for studying, getting work, or chilling with friends. They also sell boba, snacks, and food if you get hungry. If you come alone they also have these three private rooms with curtains so you can be alone with some privacy. They also have bathrooms if you need to take a lil potty break. Lots of space for sitting and relaxing. They play kpop so that can be a plus for minus depending on your preferences. The one thing that is quite annoying to me is that they play different songs compared to the music video they play on a projector so your mind may be a bit confused.
