OZERO by Cofftea: Final Verdict

Hi boba friends!

Apologies, but this was the only image of Cofftea's boba that I have. Looong story. This is Cofftea's lychee snowie. Since we're on a mission to try as many other boba places as possible, I feel that I won't be returning to Cofftea anytime soon for pictures. But if you need more visuals, Yelp will fulfill your needs :)

We decided to do a report card on general things we, and hopefully you, look for when at a boba shop. If there is an element missing that you'd like us to take note of in the future, feel free to leave a comment. The scale is a standard 1-10, where 1 caused disappointment and 10... well, we'd quit blogging and go there for the rest of our lives.

OZERO BY COFFTEA (ALHAMBRA)

Drink Taste: 8.5
Boba: 9.0
Cost-to-Size: 8
Available Drink Options: 7.0
Available Food Options: 7.0
Customer Service: 7.0 
Ambience: 8.0
Recommended: Yes and yes.

Summary of Scores: The boba is chewy and delicately sweet. You get a 20-something ounce drink for $3-5. From the menu, there are decent options, but I would not go here to just eat. Their brick toast and popcorn chicken are ok. I think I'm harsh on customer service because of all their rules... and that they're enforced more by some employees than others. They really make us work for a free drink, when it should be more of a thank you for visiting us over the other 100s of boba places. That's my opinion though. Cofftea is a good study spot in the daytime, more of a social spot during evenings. It's quite small, so seating is limited and tight. The location is easily accessible and findable, with its own private lot. And have no fear... there's free wi-fi.

Overall Experience: 8.75/10
