We stopped by Caffé Central at Valley Fair Mall for a light lunch, and it was a lovely experience! The café has a bright and clean atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing break during shopping. We tried the Smoked Salmon & Cucumber toast and the Turkey Pesto crepe, both of which were beautifully prepared. The smoked salmon was fresh and generously portioned, layered over creamy cheese and crisp cucumber, then topped with red onions and capers. It was not only delicious but also visually stunning! The turkey pesto crepe was equally satisfying — soft and warm with plenty of filling inside, including fresh tomatoes, basil pesto, turkey, and cheese. The flavors were well-balanced, and the texture of the crepe was just right. Each dish came with a side of quinoa salad, which was surprisingly flavorful. It had a nice crunch and a refreshing mix of vegetables and herbs — a great healthy touch that complemented the main dishes well. Service was quick and friendly, and everything tasted fresh. Whether you’re looking for a healthy, quick lunch or just a good coffee spot in the mall, this place is worth a visit!

Barley, Chickpeas and Kale Salad was delicious! The kale was the right texture, no big fibrous, inedible stems. Tossed lightly with olive oil and perfectly seasoned.

This coffee stall is an underrated gem in food court of Valley Fair. The coffee is expertly made by friendly staff and is an excellent place to be to recharge with a caffeinated beverage in the morning. It's my new favorite morning stop at Valley Fair. Edit: The first time I came here, it was right as the shop opened, and I had the opportunity to talk to Mr. Mann for a brief but meaningful amount of time. After not having been here 7 months, I returned for another cup of coffee, and when I said hi to Mr. Mann, he remembered who I was and what I do. It's incredibly meaningful to visit a place where the staff is not only passionate about what they do, but cares about the people they serve. Thank you, Mr. Mann. You are truly cut above the rest.

They're at the food court of Valley Fair mall. The cakes are delicious & authentic like the Tiramisu. But the iced coffee was disappointing! Get the Mocha Frappe but it's a medium/grande size of Starbucks for $6.62. The pesto/gourmet/pasta salad is too small for $13.32!

Plenty of boba options. Much better options compared R&B tea just opposite to this for us. We tried Mango Paradise with Lychee popping boba and it just hit the right taste. Just note that it’s little expensive, at around $8.

Haven’t tried any food here but drink coffee from this place whenever at the Valley Fair mall. Nothing special, but for sure the best coffee at the mall. So if you want to have some coffee that is better than Starbucks while you shopping that would be the best place !

This place is located in the food court of the Westfield Valley Fair. The Asian lady with a glasses was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my freshly made detox juice. But it was almost $9 for a small sized cup. Not sure if it was worth the value. The avocado toast was not bad. Expect a little wait time because most items are freshly made. (The pastries in the display window look good but drenched in sugar, so did not try them)

I came here for boba with my friend and I can’t say I was impressed. The service was fast, but I would have rather waited longer if it meant a better drink. It tasted like it had been refrigerated. Disappointed. However, it is edible

Located at the Valley Fair Food Court. The milk tea tastes average. They don't give options for ice. If you want light ice, make sure to let them know. Otherwise, they will serve you a glass of ice with a side of milk tea. The lady who helped us seemed out of sorts...maybe because we got there close to closing?

If you ask for no ice they will not fill your boba drink all the way to the top per their company policy if you ask for no ice. Not a fan, especially at the price point I paid.

If you have kids don’t bother coming here. This place has gone way downhill since they changed ownership. I asked for milk and they said they can give me a horizon milk for $3.25. I needed two for my kids so I asked for a larger cup of milk from the bar and he told me that’s only for coffee. I’m happy to take my money somewhere else where they actually want my business. I won’t be coming back despite the convenient location. Go to Crepes bistro down Lafayette, better service, better coffee and they have employees that actually take care of their customers.

On March 10 around 3:30 PM the girl at the cash register and the girl making the coffee were rude. When I was waiting for my coffee the girl at the cash register touching the money when helping customers and she went to helped get my coffee by putting the cover on my coffee but she didn't washed her hands or sanitized so I told her not to touch it and she got mad and slammed the cover so I told the other girl and she also had an attitude problem. Why would anyone not sanitized their hands after tching the money specially dealing with customers food. Very unsanitary. I will never go back there. They will make people sick.

Tried the original Taiwanese bubble tea. The flavor wasn’t anything close to right. Did they mix in the green tea by mistake? Leaving this review as a reminder for myself to never visit again.

Overpriced $7.5 for an untasty boba, and they don't even fill up the cup if you choose no ice option! Even if you try to ask them to fill it up.
