Cafe Spot

Great prices for tea and large portions of food. Currently doing a soft opening, so they are not running at maximum efficiency. Friendly staff, although their English seems to be limited. The popcorn chicken was generously portioned and not overly breaded. The mango pomelo sago was delicious, but they used agar boba instead of sago. The chicken steak came with not one, but two large pieces of meat. They were out of steak (beef), but I’m sure they’ll improve since it’s only a soft opening. Would definitely come again!

Our favorite dish is the sizzling Taiwanese steak. Juicy, flavorful, and big! Comes with rice or spaghetti and some veggies.

Came here for their soft opening special on the drinks since they are priced cheaper than other places. The employees were really nice and took my order quickly. I got the Jasmine Green Milk Tea (2.99) with less ice and half sugar. The drinks were ready in about 5 minutes or so and they put it in a drink holder and bag for me. The milk tea was not too sweet and had the perfect amount of tea taste. They have some food on their menu and lots of tables for dine in. It is a pretty casual, similar to the old Tea Station. I didn't get a good look at the other drinks on the menu but I will try coming back again for their drink specials!

I am a fan of their Red Wine Braised Short Rib since they had a store in Alhambra. When they reopen the store at Temple City, I was very happy to see my favorite is back among other dishes. Recently, however, I noticed that they were making changes to my favorite dish: less ingredients, less side veggie, less flavor. I understand that restaurants do make changes to keep their costs down but compromising flavor of food by reducing ingredients doesn’t seem like good idea.

For the (current) price of around $3 a tea, you really can’t go wrong here if you need a boba fix. The interior is spacious (former Tea Station) with lots of places to sit. A good place to hang out. There are a couple of arcade machines, but I would highly recommend management install card readers or a change machine. I doubt anyone carries quarters anymore. Until they raise their prices, I will be returning here often!
