Jiaren Cafe: Coffee, Boba & Events

Cozy place for hangout. When I went there there were lots of people for some pottery class, that was conducted at the venue. Loved the colorful coffee offerings but they seem a tad overpriced.

Asked me to work a 3 hour "testing" shift for store credit as payment. Reports of other employees being paid far below minimum wage. For the sake of the workers, I'd avoid this place. Sounds like it has some shady management. Edit: You never mentioned a specific hourly rate for the gift card in your message to me. Additionally, it doesn't matter how much the gift card is for, it's still a payment of store credit in exchange for work. I can't see how there's any miscommunication here, it seems as though you simply asked me to do effectively unpaid labor as the "payment" you're offering is not cash or easily convertable into cash. I can't see how you being unable to afford paying for a testing shift is a valid excuse, as why are you doing a testing shift then when there are other viable options for testing a candidate that do not include unpaid labor.

This was my first time getting a drink here and I got the Red Velvet Charcoal Milk Tea. It came out so pretty (I forgot to take a picture )! I would most definitely recommend it especially if you like your milk teas rich and flavorful. I will be coming back to try out their other drinks in the future!

Ordered a Gibraltar and the coffee was lukewarm and only half a cup!! At least make the coffee hot if you are not giving a full cup like other places. There are better places and give this one a skip. Edit: Equal parts espresso and equal parts steamed milk does not warran half a cup. Equal parts common sense and equal parts sincerity would be nice to offer on the menu next time. Thx!

Good drinks and very friendly staff. Yoga studio is nice.

Such lovely vibes here - its my absolute favorite place to come and work. The throwback chill playlist is a vibe. This place really has a community feel - from the community board to the local arts and crafts being sold, its great. It's so heartwarming to see regulars come in with their dog and catch up with the staff. And the art classes! Can't forget those! The Lavender London fog is bomb as well. So perfectly balanced. Jayden is doing such a great job. Huge props to her and hear team - I know its not easy!
