This place used to Iowta but with the new take over as Dragon Boba nothing much has changed other than added menu items :) went in to do some studying and something sweet to drink. Mango Slush is always a good choice! But my real favorite is the Ultra Violet Drink!

After a long day of exploring the Dallas area we really needed a bit of sugar to top everything off. Luckily we found this cafe, in a little complex of Korean businesses. I decided to get the striped crepe creme cake, which was a beautiful work of art. Reminding me of fruity pebbles, it tasted divine. Please dont miss out on this gem, visit at once!

Really cool atmosphere to enjoy some of the best specialty desserts I have ever had. The food is what surprised me the most, Italian/Korean fusion, with many other options to choose from. Just take a look at all the photos! SO GOOD, MUST TRY!

Best Boba in Carrollton 🧋 I’ve been to many spots out here and by far the best place, very tasteful. It’s a nice calm vibe inside. Don’t sleep on them!

My first visit here. Excellent coffee and the Mochi donuts were amazing! I had the Cookie Butter and my friend had the Lemon Poppyseed. Can’t wait to go back and try the food. It looked so good.

Wow. The food was amazing. Beyond what I was expecting in flavor. It was a good portion size and absolutely delicious. I got the kimchi carbonara and my friend got the mentaiko pasta. Very pleased with our meal and service.

Very cute Cafe! Love the airy and bright atmosphere. You have the option of ordering your food at a kiosk or with the cashier. We ordered the different entrees which were a pretty good portion size. Everything tasted great. Service was about 4 stars though because everything came out at different times instead of together. We would definitely come back again to try more desserts!

I visited for the first time this weekend and I am counting down the days until I can get back! The shop may be a bit daunting to maneuver because there are so many sections to it, but ask any employee and they will be happy to help you. I had a melon milk tea that was simply divine. Their mochi donut glaze may look a bit broken, but its insanely delicious; they have one of the best mochi donuts in the area!

Wow this place is amazing! Can’t believe it took me so long to discover this place. I’ve been missing out a lot! It’s my first time here. We ordered shirmp scampi pasta and bulgogi sandwich. It’s was so delicious! My 7 years old daughter loves it too! The pasta and the restaurant remind me of my hometown in Asia. We definitely will come back again!

Crepe cakes were unique! If u are looking for ube and pandon this is the place! Their boba tea was ok not better than tiger sugar but they make great coffee. They have a coffee bar inside the cafe.. i heard egg sandwich was pretty good but never tried tho.

This is supposedly boba yoghurt. Except there is no yoghurt in it. I asked the staff and was told that it was yoghurt Flavor, and not actually yoghurt. I said i was disappointed, but nobody cared, so one star for you!

One of the best places I have been! The food is excellent! We ordered the kimchi pasta and burger steak and they were all very delicious. Reminds me of pasta that you could taste in Korea.The service was also one of the best I have experienced. The owner is very polite.Very cute place and calming with lots of charms. Chairs are so comfortable for studying as well. I would highly recommend this to all of my friends and family

Everything I tried to order they kept saying they don’t have. Finally ordered banana milk tea just tasted like super sweet milk. My bf ordered brown sugar boba and it was just a strong coffee taste. Not a great first visit.

Service has been great! This place is always adding the next food trends to their menu & they sure do make them well! My all time favorite dish is their kimchi carbonara. The dalgona coffee is also very good and I really like the crunchy toffee bits. There hasn’t been anything I haven’t enjoyed from this place yet. They have plenty of seating inside & they have hand sanitizers at every table.

Review №21

OMG this is a discovery of the 2021! Excellent coffee , latte! I tried spanish coffee, crame brule e latte ( a bit too sweet), regular late, ultraviolet lemonade, and some lemonade. Love it! My favorite is a garlic bread, this will melt in your mounth like butter. Number two is japaneese cheesecake suflet ( make sure you get it there, not to go), bulgogi sanwich is amazing. Littery everything you try there is so good. Its not crowded, a bit far from frisco center but the quality of food and coffe makes me come back there every few days.

Review №22

The place and the service themselves are cool and pretty nice.The food we were able to get was odd. The drinks we ordered had different tastes than we thought, either too sweet or too bitter. The mochi donuts were good but did not mix well with each other. The rainbow crepe cake was nothing to get excited about, nor was the Basque cheesecake. The stars demotion was due mainly to the food.Nice place to gather though.

Review №23

Its an amazing place with amazing food with a great atmosphere. You’d feel you left USA. A solid collection of coffees, desserts, wide variety of teas, and food. Love it and will be my regular spot for lunch date with my mom’s group. I took down one star for myself not liking their americano being almost close to room temperature and it was on the acidic side which made me a bit sad because I’ve had a high hope on their coffee but I’ll come back and give them another try soon. ——update——- I just went back and I’m in love with their coffee! I just love this quaint cafe!

Review №26

Tasty drinks and pastries, but higher prices than other places. We got two fruit teas and two mochi donuts and it came out at $18 before tip. They were out of boba. I had the guava fruit tea with lychee jelly. Tea was pretty small and flavor as expected. I had a matcha donut and liked the frosting flavor and texture. It was an OK experience, but wouldnt be my in my regular rotation of boba or mochi joints.

Cute atmosphere and great desserts! Awesome service. My friend and I came for desserts only, but will def make another trip for the food. The only thing I wasnt fond of was the iced americano.. I love a good nutty flavored coffee to go with my sweets, but it was definitely on the acidic side.

Review №31

Went here for dinner after hearing a friend speak about it. Super cute place with a very nice vibe. The service was awesome. The food was really good! We got the spicy chicken sandwich, which is not for the faint of heart and the spicy fried chicken which was very delicious! The fried chicken has a super nice crisp to it. I would definitely recommend this place.

Review №32

I am obsessed with this place, starting from the simple and minimalist aesthetic of the cafe to the drinks, food, and even dessert. The food is absolutely amazing and unique.Drinks: Get the Sweet Cream Latte. I recommend sipping it from the cup so you can get the foam AND the espresso in a single sip. Or you can mix it all together; I tried both ways and both were delicious in their own way. A bit pricey for only one size ($5-6), but its worth it.Food: So far, Ive tried the kimchi carbonara, creamy shrimp pasta, truffle fries, bulgogi quesadilla, and ddeokbokki. Though, I always find myself going back to the kimchi carbonara. My absolute favorite!!! Its not too creamy (so its ok for the lactose intolerant ppl like me) and its not too spicy either! It also has shrimp and bits of bacon, making it super savory. Also, portions are huge so its a good idea to family style so you can try everything!Desserts: I have not tried the ice cream or pastries, but I did get to try a new dessert they just pushed out last week -- korean souffle pancakes! I tried the dirty tiger (I think its what its called) flavor topped with whip cream and boba. It is basically the brown sugar/tiger boba drink but souffle pancake style! It was so good, my friends and I were fighting for the last piece. I hope they keep it on the menu! (mostly bc I want to try the other flavors!)Cons: Can get pretty loud, food takes a really long time (its worth the wait, but youll get HANGRY), always packed.. thats about it! 4 stars instead of 5 for the wait :(

The cream cheese Korean garlic bread is A LOT sweeter than you think. Would not recommend if you’re wanting savory. It’s as sweet as their donuts. The yogurt tea is nice and light, mochi donut is pretty good fresh.

I come here at least once a week and everything about this place is pleasant. Very chill atmosphere. Great place to come and just hang with some friends or work on some homework. All the drinks are amazing. I have yet to try something I don’t like. My favorite boba tea in the area now. The menu also has very good food and snacks!!! The staff is also very nice and sweet! I just wish there was one closer to me :( but the drive from garland is worth it!

Desserts and Drinks are good. As for the food, they have lost their touch. Ordered the bulgogi bowl and the shrimp scampi & absolutely no flavor. If it werent for the new employee at the counter I would’ve asked for my money back.Absolutely flavorless & bland. Dont eat here unless you like to be disappointed.

Went in on a Saturday and they had an event (bday or graduation) booked for noon that literally took up the entire restaurant. All the staff was running around like crazy bumping into customers never once did anyone say excuse me. Half the menu was not available. They didn’t even have Boba. You would think on the busiest day of the week they would be prepared for customers, especially when you drive 30 minutes to get there.

Review №53

Our family came here to try boba for the first time. And just our luck, they ran out of boba. So our drinks had to be altered some. The strawberry donut was very good. Our drinks would have definitely been better with boba I would assume. Good atmosphere and decoration inside. Although we didnt have the experience we were expecting, we are willing to give it another try.

Review №62

The atmosphefe was fine and all the staffs were very kind. But all the pastas that we ordered was too salty or bland. Especially the green tea crepe cake that we ordered for dessert, sorry to say that but It was the worst crepe cakes weve ever had. The price doesnt correspond to the quality of food. This place needs to improve the taste of food.

Review №66

Pandan and ube crepe cakes were delicious as well as the truffle fries. The concerns lie within the foh staff. Theyre young and clueless and left us waiting on our togo orders when it was left on the counter. We arrived around opening and the floors were still soaked from mopping, I had to place a wet floor sign out for them so they dont catch the wrong one slipping and sue them.

Review №68

Beyond amazing staff and service. The decor and atmosphere lend to an incredibly relaxing stay at this little Cafe. Its honestly a hidden treasure in this area, and part of me is glad they didnt open up in the H-Mart district since this place would ALWAYS be packed.Food is ordered from the digital screen you see on your left when you walk in, and its relatively easy to see what is what. Didnt wait long at all for it to all come out either, though they could use another waiter or two.Bakery looks very well maintained and stocked. I didnt try anything from there since I was already pretty full, but its something I look forward to.Did I mention the staff is really good? Yeah, theyre super friendly. Imagine someone being mean to these kinds of people? Its impossible. I cant wait to see what this place will blossom into in the hopefully near future.*Try the Earl Grey Panna Cotta. If you love tea, youll love this.*

I had been wanting to try this place for a very long time but I also had moved out of state. So upon visiting Texas again, I decided I would try and check it out.. I was excited to see for once that they were not packed like I remembered back when I lived near by. Unfortunately when I walked in, not a single person helped me. No one even said HI or anything. I literally just stood at the register for about 10 minutes before I decided to just leave. There was one employee sweeping and another one who had walked in the door right past me without saying anything.

Hidden gem! We enjoy coming here for the delicious lattes and creative food. The Red Velvet Latte and Créme Brûlée latte (seasonal) are amazing, as are the Bulgogi fries. The Dragon Boba Tea is divine (which is probably why it’s a best seller). Everyone is friendly and helpful too. Must come visit!

Kimchi Pasta and the strawberry crepe cakes are good. I had the UBE ice cream and it was NOT worth it. Most of the ice creams aren’t worth it. The Americano Coffee is nice and strong. Lots of BTS and plush dolls inside. It feels like a Korean drama cafe. A few tables have outlets. Most of the time they are being used by ppl.

This review is for overall experience when dining in at the restaurant. First, the wait for the food. It was 40 minutes. To be fair, we were warned about the long wait from other reviewers, saying that the food was prepared fresh. However, 40 minutes is kind of long for a spaghetti and a sandwich. The food is tasty. But the spaghetti is a little overcooked for my taste.

Review №89

I had enjoyed their desserts. So I ordered Dalgona Coffee and a Hazelnut Latte.... if I was going to pay 11 dollars for 2 cups of coffee and they all taste like nothing (they were busy and it seemed like they completely forgot the flavorings? even so there was any espresso flavor into it...like it was not extracted properly) I might as well just resort back to instant Maxim. I was in a hurry so after taking a horrible first sip in the car I called the store to let them know the coffee was flavorless, and they simply said to let me manager know. Not returning again with this kind of service.

Review №91

We went here because my boyfriend just HAD to try their matcha green tea crepe cake. Its a cute place with a great menu of lots of coffee options. (FYI, their coffee selections arent available on the main menu - you have to look at the menu on the left-side counter when you walk in). I really enjoyed my milk tea, and my boyfriend gives two thumbs up to their spanish latte and crepe cake.Im disappointed we didnt get to try any food though. There was a line of 8-9 people when we arrived, so when we arrived at the counter the cashier informed us it would be about an hour wait before we could expect our food. He said there were 9 orders ahead of us. It seems a little incredible to me that 9 orders would put them so far behind! Hopefully they will streamline their service and well get to try it next time.

Review №92

I visit this place today and was very disappointed with the food and the drinks they were serving. Felt like they were over priced and also none of them really tasted good. I had kimchi pasta for lunch but I was very bloated until midnight..I felt like they were using very cheap pasta. I honestly dont feel like its worth 15.00 for a plate...also the tiger boboa tea was the worst I ever had!. It had very little syrup and a cup full.of milk.. no milk tea.. I am very surprised with reviews they were getting. I dont think this place will last long time with poor food quality. Highly disappointed.

Review №95

The Boba tea was alright. The coffee however was burnt and bitter, like diner coffee. I dont think Id come here just for the drinks.The food is good if a little pricy, but the portions are pretty good to, so its a quantity over quality.The truffle fries are quite good, and the kimchi fried rice was really good. Plus the cakes and macaroons are really good, ill definitely come back for the puffy cheese cake.I think it be a good place to go on a date, rather than a regular spot for lunch.

Review №96

I just had one of the best customer service experiences ever with them today! About 2 months ago, my boyfriend and I had picked up an order of Kimchi carbonara and cajun pasta, however when we got home, we realized that the kimchi carbonara was missing the shrimp. I called and spoke to the manager Jay, and he had told me back then that I could go back in for a refund or a free meal of choice.Fast forward to today, I happened to be in their neighborhood and remembered that I had never returned for my refund or free meal. So I called and asked to speak to Jay. Once he got on the phone, I mentioned my name and he instantly recalled my issue and encouraged me to come in. I was mind blown!! I didn’t have to remind him nor argue with anyone, and I still can’t get over how he remembered all the details 2 months later. He told me that he had written it down, but needless to say, I was very impressed with his wonderful service and his commitment to see his customers pleased. I would definitely be going back!
