Hotspot Cafe - La Porte

Hotspot Café is a fantastic spot in the city of Laporte. The atmosphere is always inviting, and the staff, especially Haley, is a big reason why I keep coming back, particularly on weekends. The owner is also very respectful and dedicated to her business! Service is typically quite good, especially when it comes to the frappés made by Haley—she always gets them just right. The food is decent; after all, it's a café where the focus is on coffee and bubble tea. The food pairs well with the drinks, although it can be a bit pricey, so it's definitely a place for a special treat. The desserts are absolutely delightful, and I highly recommend trying them. Hotspot Café also hosts events that are great for kids. Overall, I really believe this place is worth visiting, especially for the lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.

My daughter and I visited for the first time today, and we had a wonderful experience. Our lattes were delightful, and the blueberry pastry filled with cream cheese was simply incredible. Before we left, we wanted to sample another flavor. My daughter was particularly thrilled to learn they offer DoorDash and began thinking of other flavors she wanted to try. The atmosphere felt like a home away from home, especially with all the other items on display. It truly had the warmest welcoming vibe! If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend it—it's a must-visit!

My first experience at this restaurant was quick and enjoyable. I had one of the best frappes I've ever tasted, and the prices are very reasonable compared to other places.

The first thing once you go in is you can tell straight away this is not a chain. It's a more personal able experience with homey vibes. We definitely enjoyed their service. We ordered a toasted marshmallow latte and a mocha latte. They were both at perfect drinking temp, not scalding hot but just hot enough to enjoy on our drive back home.

Would recommend to a friend. Actual rating would be 4.5 stars so I rounded up. I don 't normally write reviews for places so I apologize if the formatting is weird or the wording is strange/repetitive. First of all, the boba tea was really great. I got Chai Tea with Strawberry Popping boba and both the boba and tea tasted amazing. Atmosphere was a bit off-putting at first but it 's nice vibes overall. The paintings on the left wall add to the vibe as well. I 'm not sure about the other food items, but they definitely looked appetizing! There only appeared to be one person working the shop at the desk, but it was also about 1 hour-ish/30 min before it closed so I 'm unsure if that 's typical or not. Service didn 't take a long time. They don 't serve typical bubble tea for sure. As other reviews mention, they do some sort of blending thing for the tea, probably with ice. I also noticed it sort of seemed to separate if I let it sit...? It tasted fine even with the odd look, though. They also don 't seem have regular tapioca pearls from what I could gather from the website and in-cafe list. Speaking of the website, it 's either out of date or poorly formatted for mobile. I couldn 't find a menu aside from pictures on the Menu tab, which kind of led to me standing there in the Cafe, awkwardly looking at the screen and menu on the wall before the woman at the desk noted that they had the boba flavors at the desk. Furthermore, I couldn 't find much about the boba on the website, but it was clear they had it based on pictures and other Google reviews. These two reason are why if Google let me, I would have rated it 4.5 stars. This isn 't meant to be a negative review, though. I would absolutely stop by again! :
