“Met Vivienne and her team today. One of my favorite things about businesses is witnessing an owner who doesn’t just lead the business, they step into the work, serve alongside their team, and set the example. Friendly, helpful, conversational, quality drinks & super cute products!! Aesthetically pleasing 😌 ✨Card Only ✨ Most businesses take cards because it’s what most customers use. Every card transaction is recorded, making bookkeeping, taxes, and inventory tracking easier. Faster checkout. Tap-to-pay and chip cards speed up transactions and reduce long lines. - Card payments aren’t free 🤯 businesses pay a processing fee on every transaction. General Example: You pay: $100 ➡️ Processing fee: $3🟰Business receives: $97 - Cash saves on card fees, but it also means more counting, more chances for mistakes, and more work for business owners. ✨Behind the Price Tag✨ When businesses mark up their prices because they’re paying for a lot more than just the product. These days, it’s simply more expensive to run a business. Rent, payroll, insurance, utilities, shipping, inventory, and supplies all cost more than they did a few years ago. On top of that, many businesses are dealing with higher supplier prices, tariffs on imported goods, and increased operating costs. Even though inflation has slowed, prices haven’t gone back down. A markup isn’t just about making more money, it’s what allows any business to pay its bills, keep employees working, replace inventory, and stay open for the community. Understanding good businesses, you’ll learn to respect their decisions.”

“The best bubble tea in town. More authentic- and not overly sweet. The whole place is adorable and aesthetically pleasing. Wish there was a sit down area. But it’s fun to look at all the blind boxes and toys while sipping on the drink.”

“Awesome store with toys and collectibles. Great place if you’re looking for a unique gift. Don't forget to check the Dessert menu. The staff were very friendly, and I couldn’t decide which Milk Tea to choose. They offered a sample and I ended up ordering the Hokkaido Milk Tea super delicious!”

“Fun little shops with collectibles and boba. The items in the shop are a bit over what you would find in other stores. The boba is served in a reusable cup. If you bring the cup with you next time, you can recieve a discount. They are card only!”
