Do you sell just the tapioca boba balls

No they cannot just sell the tapioca boba balls. But you can easily purchase them through a vendor.

If you want a peaceful no fuss breakfast/brunch spot for one or two, Meson is the place for you. The customer service was great and the food was even better. Per the cashier's suggestion, I ordered breakfast sandwich. The variety of textures, from the ridiculously crispy hash brown to the crunch of the pickled onions, was the star of this dish. Lastly, I appreciated the modern/minimalistic presentation.Next time, I hope to try one of the breakfast bowls.

Service a tad slow but the bubble tea was still worth it. Earl Grey lavender and mango bubble tea recommend.

My favorite Boba house. Love their taro tea with barley and Boba. Delicious! They have a great variety of milk teas and other drinks. They also offer great snacks. Decent size parking lot but it gets very busy at night. Highly recommend them. They also serve drinks in exclusive cups.

Ordered from them via DoorDash. Our sea salt oolong tea didn't come with the sea salt so we got way over charged for a basic oolong milk tea. Fried flour buns with condensed milk didn't have any condensed milk on it. We had a boba drink and they gave us regular straws. Overall just incredibly sloppy. How busy could you possibly be at 9-10pm that you messed up half of the whole order?

Well priced and fast. I don't think the menu is as extensive as many similar places but it still had the bare necessities.Just so you know: they only take cash.

I've been meaning to review and I cannot let how good the drinks are and how kind this employee is to go unnoticed. Must give credit where it's due!! And this is the place! I'm a regular here, as I love Volcano Tea House and the variety of drinks they offer here are great. Their drinks are delish, between the drinks, and one young lady in particular it's like a ray of sunshine, brightens my day ever time I get my Volcano Tea!!! I after so many hellos and pleasant exchanges got her name, Zali!!! Thank you Zali for being you; for always being so helpful when I'm undecided, so pleasant, and great service all the way around every time I comei! It's easy to not know what to get considering all their yummy choices. The drinks are delish and the place is nice! Staff is nice, especially Zali! as a business owner I have a huge appreciation for good service and product! A must try if you're in the area!

If you drink coffee without milk, that's the place to go. They have about 10 types of coffee here. It might be a bit weird when getting coffee here for the first time. But it's really worth it. Not much pastries here. Great for me. Not sure about any other parking except the one in the street.

Great place for breakfast and lunch. One of my very favorite dishes is the Tuna Melt typically served with a side salad. You can also sub fries... even better you can make them garlic fries. So delicious!!! I do wish they had a few more kid specific dishes/menu. We would dine here more frequently if they had a kids menu.

The tea also came in a beautiful tea cup! I don't have pictures of the things themselves but I'll post the paintings I made while eating. I really like this place as there aren't many like it, so don't be afraid to come out with some friends and try it out!

tea for u is the type of place i go to w/ my friends! i absolutely adore this place. back when all this coronavirus stuff wasn't going on, my friends and i would always go to this place to hang out and get boba drinks. i also rlly like the aesthetic of the shop. the walls are nicely decorated and the design of the place indeeds attract the people to go inside and buy something. not only that, the boba is rlly amazing and chewy. there is plenty of options to choose from but my favorite drink is the peach green tea w/ boba. it's rlly good tea for u is the go-to hang out place my friends! also, it is also a good place to do your homework and etc since it's quiet there. for the service, i don't know how good the service is since they don't usually greet people or that i know of. overall, this boba shop is awesome!

Worst ever tea shop in my life. Ordered winter melon and matcha tea here, winter melon tea was made of cheap syrup, and matcha tea had no real matcha at all. Tea quality is very low and I will never go back again!

Wow what a great little spot in the up-and-coming east Hollywood District!! Acia bowl was fresh and delicious! And the sweet couple who run the place are trying extra hard to create a hot little coffee spot -- now open at 7am! Love this little neighborhood gem!

When there is a line waiting, you know this place has good drinks. We wait long line and have enough time to decide. The price is so good and affordable. Even tho decided what I was going to get but then I asked for recommendation again. They did recommend me and gave me good reviews. So I decided to try the House Milk Tea. In my opinion, it’s authentic original milk tea. Like it’s been a long time since I try it again. They have variety of drink options and toppings as well. Upgrade to large cup is 50 cent. The large cup is so cute and have good design. Shoutout for this place!

Black Cow Cafe provided us with an amazing experience from the moment we were seated to finishing our food! Our server recommended some new items from the menu and we went for it. I got breakfast omelette with a latte. The food was so yum! I asked to make it extra spicy and they delivered. They added several types of fresh peppers and spicy seasoning. Overall great experience.

I love boba teas here. Their flavors are good and the double-flavor cup is a brilliant idea.One of the employees (white young guy) was NOT wearing a mask while making the drinks. He was talking all over our drinks that were non-sealed!!! This is unacceptable!Please keep the safety rule for your customers & employees

Average, but decent and drinkable boba. Not bad, decent flavors, nothing most would complain about, and you can finish the cup eventually.... But it's not a Tea Station amazing kind of tea flavor where you just down the drink as fast as your stomach can handle because it was so good, with delicious tea flavor. Nope, here, it's a decent drink...then you forget about it. Cash only sucks. Absolutely no reason when Square is universal among smaller businesses - doesn't make any sense. Most tables were hogged by laptop users, so nothing but the bench along the wall to sit at. Odd postings on the wall like the bank account info - totally random and no idea why it's there.

So, not sure how I heard about this place but I have been itching to try it. Myself, my daughter, sister and my niece came here this afternoon for brunch and the food was great. Everyone enjoyed their food. The only issue I would say I had was the fact that the lamp bears outside were not turned on. It was cold, no where to sit inside so we had to sit outside. It wasn't miserable but the lamps needed to be on. I love the different varieties of food they offer. We will definitely be returning.

Every bite was delicious. We went vegetarian all the way. Had the lentil soup, crushed lentils done right with a lime garnish. Different but the best I've had. Potato and Peas Samosa's were great, don't pass on these. Sag Paneer, Veggie Korma well done and great altogether. Garlic Naan. Yes. Yes. Yes.

This place is several steps above mostly Starbucks-grade options nearby. Great coffee and great baked goods!Iced latte - tastyChocolate scone - perfect ratio of chocolate to pastry. Less bready than a traditional scone, more crumbly. Ask for it heated up.They also have some canned/bottled drinks like kombucha.
