When I first walked into this store, I had no idea what bubble tea flavor to buy, but luckily, this cheerful looking, rosy-cheek Bald Asian Man popped out of nowhere from behind the counter and offered help. I took his suggestions and bought a Mango Smoothie + bubbles + jelly + eggnog + extra mango for a cheap price. It tasted way better than Jamba Juice!

Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly on this cafe: The good: The drinks are excellent, they have many flavors, and you can add various extras to your drink. The bad: Sometimes there is a bit of a wait, and the seating area is odd. If you want to read in this cafe, you probably will be doing it using artificial (lamp) light as the natural light comes in where the computers are located. The ugly: The service problem really strikes me as being associated with the 30-something year old man behind the counter. He seems to be eternally cranky (but in a cool, hipster kindda way) and/ or bored. It is clear he wants you to place your order and get the heck out of his line of vision when you're done. I have seen this guy in there often enough that I almost wonder whether he is the owner, in which case his behavior is absolutely unexcusable. I don't have high standards in terms of what a cafe staff member should be like, but this guy's bad behavior is so bad, it stays with you. Overall: the Fat Straw is a place I will likely go to again DESPITE the bad service, although it would be nice if the business made some small changes to make customers enjoy the experience BECAUSE of the service.

This is a nice little cafe, conveniently located on Hawthorne, but far enough away from the craziness below 39th. The drinks are good, and they serve coffee as well. The bagels are homemade, and the servers are very friendly. I wish they had air conditioning, because it can get muggy in the summer, but otherwise, it's a perfect spot for a bubble tea or coffee.
