Jewel Box Cafe

I came into the cafe at around 6:55pm on 7/9 and stood at the counter waiting to be helped for a few minutes. Then an employee greeted me and told me that they were closed at 7 and wouldn’t serve me. I pointed out that it was exactly 7 and I had been waiting at the counter for a few minutes. She asked me what I wanted to order. I told her I’d like a Taro Milk Tea blended. She mentioned they were out of the tapioca balls and I said that’s fine and that I’d like it with the mango poppers. She then switched to telling me they were completely out of the tea, which was sitting out in plain sight on the counter. I didn’t have the energy to call her out on her lie but I’m very disappointed in this business. Please make sure this young lady doesn’t lie to customers or waste their time simply out of her sheer laziness.

Soft, delicious crepes, good mochas, employees that are always busy but care about doing their best, never empty but definitely enough seating in the mornings. I recommend coming early on sunny days & enjoying the outdoor seating with the morning sun! The game tables (where this food picture is taken) are also lovely and somewhat separated from the majority of indoor seating to facilitate noise control. I hope to try their breakfast crepes on my next visit, and always appreciate delivery! Jewel box cafe is great! It's popular for a reason ;) Features: - Dietary restriction options (alt./plant based milks, meat free breakfast crepes, gluten free crepe options) - Indoor and outdoor seating - Game tables - Outlets - 2 hours guest wifi with purchase - 1 customer bathroom - Employees that mask up & keep safe distance - Sweet and savory options for crepes, all of which are good - bubble tea (hit or miss) - Large portions (better than other crepe places I've been to in the area) - Contactless payment - Napkins at *every* table (thank you for this!) - Warm wood aesthetic & warm lighting (good for comfortable studying) - Fireplace - Accessible entry - Great location with Thornton place parking - Long hours!! Thank you Jewel Box!

The crepes and coffee were both wonderful, and the servers were really nice. I got a dirty chai and would drink one every day if I lived closer to Jewel Box. It was a little bit chilly inside, but sitting further away from the door helped. Just know if you’re going when it’s cold outside it might be cold inside the cafe, and extra layers could be helpful.

Really tasty tea in the boba - I got the spring green milk tea and it was the perfect thing for a warm day. My only complaint was that the boba was very hard, like it hadn't been cooked through all the way. I'll definitely be coming back for more, especially considering how cool the inside of the cafe was!
