This is the third time I’ve come to this location and the doors are locked during normal business hours

It's good but they're never open during the hours they have posted.

I stopped going here because the boba was always so hard and went today again after a long time hoping it would be better but no… 🥴

The aesthetic is the best part about this place. the XL bowl is 90% rice. For 20 dollars, I expect far more. Im disappointed. At least the staff is nice.

This is the second time I have experienced the boba being extremely tough and hard!! I came here a lot when it first opened, but it seems the quality has severely decreased. Will not be returning to spend $12 for 2 drinks just for the boba to be inedible.

Support Local and boba is awesome!!

This location always has a relaxed and calm atmosphere. There are many places to sit and board games for recreation on a nearby bookshelf. During seasonal times there are specialty drinks, there is an image below of their holiday drinks. In conclusion, there are many great options here. However, I personally prefer the Red Bull infusions.

Dietary restrictions: Staff is able to alter any food or drink upon request.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space and board games for kids to play.

If you are into drinks, I'm sure you'll love this which is called Boba. Basically, you can get any fruit or milk tea and put boba or tapioca, keep in mind there are two types of boba, one that pops in your mouth (boba) and one you can chew (tapioca) , they're both really good though.Neat little place I go to every so often, great for beginners who have never tried boba tea before!You can even get a custom boba if you'd like, I got myself a blueberry milk tea and it is personally my go to when it comes to boba.

I came in to the helena location for the first time and was greeted by a teenager who seemed super nice at first. I ordered what I always order at the other locations- cinnamon milk tea with oatmilk (remove all dairy) and she got frustrated and red in the face saying that there was dairy in it. I know that. I wanted her to swap it out for oatmilk. She then went on to say that drink did not come with milk and that it was just tea and cinnamon? So I said please put oatmilk it it. She was very condescending in her attitude saying “ok.” We still gave her a tip when we closed out. And when she brought the drinks out she said “you know there is cream in that right?” And I said that I never have a problem when I order this elsewhere and they always reassure that there is no dairy. She seemed like she might be new or something because she kept switching up what she was saying. In the end I couldnt even drink it because she literally just gave me oatmilk and boba. I wanted to get my money back but she threw the receipt away before we could even ask to have it. Do not think I will be coming back to this location.

Came when no one was here and was in and out within 3 mins. The person taking our order was super friendly and helpful. The service here was amazing and they were quick. The price was also great, this is the best place to get boba in town. This is a much nicer Thirstea than the one in Birmingham since it’s much bigger and has a more open space. It seems to be cleaner too, will be coming back in the future.
