Tealicious Drinks

Firstly, this place has better drinks than Cafe101 across the street!!!! I have been here a couple of times and they have decent prices for drinks, the one pictured is a strawberry & banana smoothie and came out to be $4.54 with taxes (it’s a large & with tapioca). The person who was working here today seems to be the owner, and she was friendly to everyone coming in. I particularly liked that the drinks were made instantly once ordered-no waiting around for anyone to get started. I will mention that the previous times that I’ve been here, their (student) workers kind of slack off. I have had their bahn-mi here before and they are decent- toasted bread with chicken pickled carrots, cucumber slices, jalapeños, & sriracha. I would say that if you’re on campus and want your boba & bahn-mi fix, come here. Not that many people come and stay to eat/drink, so I always find tables/seats to chill at.

So, here was my experience. I got here after admission advising because it was right around the corner and the deli next door was too expensive for me. First off, the atmosphere is eh. It's an okay place to hang out, I guess. They have dominos and other games. Nothing special. They do have a window bar to sit at. The TV is blasting some Vietnamese channel I think fairly loud. So I check the prices and I'm amazed to find that a peach tea is only 2.79. Turns out - that's a lie. They changed a whole dollar extra after we had ordered. Same with their bahn mi (Vietnamese sandwhich). There was no sign anywhere saying that their prices have changed. The service was pretty slow due to there being only one cashier who was also the cook? But she was kind. As for what they sell - the bahn mi was absolutely disgusting, I cannot finish it. I'm not sure what oil or nasty meat ruined it but I do not recommend their chicken bahn mi. Their peach tea, however, was a very redeeming factor. It's very good, although a bit on the sweet side. Conclusion: I do not recommend coming here, but if you do come here, expect false prices, slow service, and try the peach tea while avoiding the bahn mi at all costs.

Not worth it. I gave this place a second chance after having artificial passion fruit black tea. It was so sweet even when I mentioned no sugar. This time around I ordered Vietnamese coffee and instead got water down coffee, not even sweet like the original Vietnamese coffee in Chinatown and only 5 bobas. Go if you want nasty drinks.

I have been coming here for the Vegetarian banh mi for the past three years and it keeps getting better each time. Some past issues with the sandwiches are that the bread might be a little stale or the sauce inside is runny and messy. Other than that, the cook does a great job of making the faux meat flavorful, look like pork, and taste like a similar texture. The protein is seitan or some similar soy product. I would suggest to the manager to try to get a fluffier bread and to try substituting the protein with deep fried tofu with a dash of soy sauce like they make it at Simply Pho. The manager is friendly but her staff tend to be a little oblivious at times. Food and service is pretty fast. Drinks are OK.

I ordered a sandwich from here (never tried it before) and I was asked if I wanted it spicy or not. I said not spicy. Turns out spicy to them means with/without jalapeños so my sandwich was still incredibly spicy. I cannot handle spicy food so I brought it back. The manager was so rude to me and said to the employee "she doesn't know what she wants. Give her her money". I can't believe the manager was that rude!

The prices are average. They sell teas for around 2.70 but expect an extra dollar for the added tapioca. I bought the slush and it was okay. I don't think they use real fruit and the tapioca is hard and disgusting. I also bought the combination bahn mí and it wasn't that good. The atmosphere is mediocre with some games and a tv. Overall I don't recommend people to come here.

The prices and drink are great but the staff is not the best. Most of the time I come here, the ones who attend me more than often have a mug on their faces or they just don't look like they want to be there. Also they always seem to run out of tapioca an hour early or even two hours early. I'm not sure but I think that either shows that they don't have any in the shop or they're lazy and they don't want to prepare some

Terrible. If I could give this a zero star rating, I would. First time I came in I asked for a simple latte and I got a SCORCHING cup of black sugar. Seriously, it took a good 30 minutes to cool down to even taste and then it literally tasted like sugar and water. However, I decided to give them a second chance because I get it, coffee is not their strong suit. So I ordered a tea. Welp.. the same thing happened, but this time I felt like I had to say something. Well, when I did they all looked at me like I was crazy... I’m sorry people, but plain old green tea is not supposed to taste like sugar water.... never will come here again.
