Visited this spot with my family after dinner near by. There's a good amount of variety on the menu. However, I ordered a winter melon milk tea with honey boba, and my drink came with a lot of tea leaves mixed in. There were tea leaves on the bottom of my drink, mixed in with the roughly-made honey boba itself, as well as leaves that I could see floating around in the milk tea. Not a pleasant drink experience. But the two workers there were nice.

Lychee milk tea 20oz or 16oz with boba, fast friendly service. Lots of menu options. Next to Dave's nashville hot chicken and a fantastic cookie store also near a great detroit pizza slice location within 1/2 a block.

I'm giving this place a 1 star because of the type of service I got. This was my first time here and decided to get a taro flavored blended drink with boba. The girl was super rude and annoyed for asking questions. She made me feel like its abnormal for asking questions. Won't ever come back because as a first time customer, I should never have to feel unwelcomed or given the "ugly stare" for asking questions about the menu. To top it off, the drink I ordered was not good.

Had a lovely Mocha Brittle waffle. Comes with a very generous serving of Ice cream!

Waited 10 minutes for one drink which is okay if I got fresh boba but I didn't. I got the lavender milk tea with boba and the drink is tasty but they gave me old soggy boba :/ disappointed by the laziness of employees to make fresh boba.

Kind staff and mango lemonade is bomb. I’m the most loyal customer ?

Rude and unfriendly customer service and the bobas were not well made. They are dry and crumbly on the inside. Disappointing.

I ordered a taro blended, it wasn't fully blended. Ice chucks were still visible, not usually how a taro blended is supposed to be. The taro itself did not taste like taro. The workers talked to us d*** as if we don't work at a different boba shop. The only thing good was the 10% discount because of the Dave's Hot Chicken place from next door. If you ever get Dave's Hot Chicken don't even bother to look at the shop next to it, you're better off getting the milkshakes at Dave's because you know it's gonna be good.

Finally a boba spot that has a peanut butter flavor (which my husband enjoyed very much)! The waffle + boba milk tea combo is also worth trying :)

Price is expensive for them to be using powder, but still good

Im writing this review as i’m cancelling my order now the cashier saying their machine broke so i cant get a refund receipt.if you’re mexican DONT come here, they won’t make your order AT ALL & will skip you and give everyone else order.I waited an hour and a half for an waffle ice cream cone.the two white girls played the race card on me.if i could give this place negative stars i would and shut it down and fire them as well.

Best BOBA in SD! Been here multiple times and always good. If you get the tiger one just know it's super SWEET. Right on garnet, perfect location & and quick!

I really love this place. I'm not a huge fan of normal boba, so the option for the strawberry popping pearls is what makes this place so great. I usually get the coffee or milk tea with the popping pearls and it is delicious every time.

As one of the few boba tea places in PB, thankfully they are open during COVID and maintain social distance practices. They had a few combo deals on their menu and new items which were great to see. I went on a Thursday around 6pm and there was a line, but unfortunately there was only one worker/team member in to service customers. What we got: I love their branding font & their intentions with "Bonding Over Boba" which is exactly why my girlfriend and I decided to get boba to begin with. Got the Mocha Brittle Waffle, with mocha ice cream, brownie, whipped cream & the waffle. Service: The businesses next door both have lines of people waiting for food, so when I went there were about 10 people in line for Bubble Up (getting dessert to go with their food!). The worker provided good service (got all the orders correct and little wait time, contactless payment) but I hope it is safe enough to have another person working/managing operations for busier nights. $$: Pricing is ehh. For PB it's reasonable, but Boba Bar & Desserts on Convoy is comparable to this place. Parking: You'll have to walk, but plenty of street parking down the block on Garnet, starting down by Rhythm's.

Bubble waffle and boba in PB? I'm here for it!This is def a great place to go to for dessert after lunch/dinner. Their menu is a decent size ranging from sweet waffles to boba drinks! I got the oreo ooh-la-la and rainbow bubble waffles for the kiddos, which was pretty good. The size of the dessert can be shared with 2 people. I would def want to try out their other ones next time I'm there. What I loved more than the food itself was the cup that held everything together. Sometimes it can be a little messy when the ice cream melts and start dripping down from the bottom sleeve. But these cups held up super well and there was no mess what so ever! Def will be back!
