Great new shop serving coffee, boba tea, milk shakes, ice cream, and pastries, and so much more. They have unique flavors for a curious foodie. Cute shop and the owner is very nice and helpful.

Absolutely love this new spot! at the first glance, I was amazed by the beautiful pink flower decor - it creates such a cozy and elegant vibe. The drinks are top notch! I tried their Vietnamese coffee and it was so rich and flavorful, definitely will order it again next time. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, though they are soft opening but I can see they’re trying their best, making my whole experience even better. Highly recommend

R&R Cafe and Gifts is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a beautifully curated floral aesthetic that adds such a cozy and inviting touch. The menu offers plenty of options, and I love that you can customize your own desserts and drinks to suit your taste. I had the fully loaded berry cheesecake, which was the perfect balance—“not too sweet” yet still a delightful treat for a Saturday morning. The staff was incredibly patient and friendly, making the experience even better. Since they are currently in their preopening phase, I’m excited to see how they evolve. Highly recommend stopping by for a sweet escape!

We stopped in today to grab a smoothie after our workout, and I’m so glad we did! As we pulled up, we recognized the building from a previous business, but curiosity got the best of us—and we decided to check it out. So glad we did! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Valerie, who was so sweet The service was genuinely perfect—warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. I ordered the Superberry Smoothie with oat milk , added avocado , and skipped the blueberries. It was so good—super refreshing and exactly what I needed after our workout. My husband went with the Mango Mellow Smoothie with coconut milk . He downed it so fast I took a sip, and wow—the natural coconut milk added the perfect hint of sweetness. So tropical and delicious! We’ll definitely be back, especially for more smoothies—and I can’t wait to try the boba one day! While chatting with Valerie, I mentioned how much I loved the atmosphere. The space is incredibly inviting—the seating is comfortable and perfect for relaxing with a smoothie without feeling rushed. There’s also an adorable photo op spot with a flower wall —I can totally picture myself getting dolled up in a cute dress just to take photos there! Valerie mentioned this was just a soft opening, and the official grand opening will be on July 4th —with Labubu making an appearance! It’s so exciting to see small businesses like this one opening their doors, creating a sense of community, and showing they truly care about their customers. I’m genuinely excited to watch this adorable small business grow and thrive

Trendy boba shop with lots to offer. I was able to try the grilled pork banh mi, fresh rolls and Vietnamese coffee. All were great - definitely craving again as I’m writing this. They’re setting up claw machines soon and also bringing in the Labubus! Check this place out if you’re in the mood for boba, coffee, ice cream, sweets, Vietnamese food, or a just a good time.
