Amazing boba tea. They have a variety of flavors. It’s tastes so good. The store is so clean and well maintained. Great time to spend quality time with your partner or friends. Kiosk available to place quick orders. Their service is quick. Parking could be an issue since it’s located in a busy road.

I ordered the rose tea, which was great, with jelly boba and peach jelly. I loved the texture and flavor of the peach jelly but unfortunately my overall experience was diminished by the off-putting, flavorless jelly boba. This is my mistake in part, for ordering something I wasn't familiar with, but I definitely would have preferred regular boba! I will definitely be back, next time sticking with the standard boba!

The boba are good. Great vegan options.Unfortunately the hot drinks are never hot.Fun place to hang out.Would not recommend the matcha.Only fresh taro in New Haven; the brown sugar ginger tea and fresh fruit teas are also delicious!

The drinks are hit and miss sometimes but majority of the time I am happy with my drink. I got a brown sugar oat milk black tea with boba. The boba was freshly made which made my drink 100% times better. They have 2 kiosks for you to order drinks so it's quiet convenient. It's quiet spacious inside to to accommodate a large group

The fruit teas are great! The classic milk tea I find rather lacking in flavour however. Service also great.Importantly, a lot of options here can be made vegan by replacing the cows milk with non-dairy milk which is wonderful!Dietary restrictions: Vegans are well-supplied.

This is the best boba place! I misunderstood her when i was ordering my drink and didn't add boba to it but i wanted it. she told me that it's okay and took my drink back to add boba and it was really good very earthy and spicy! (i got the ginger brown sugar) my partner got the crème brûlée and loved it (it was amazing). pleassseeeee come

My favorite boba place -- especially when I'm craving brown sugar or Oreo (which I always am)! I came pretty close to closing time so they ran out of brown sugar boba, unfortunately, but I'm always content with the Oreo. My order is an Oreo milk tea, 30% sugar, and jelly boba. It's always delicious, but this time it seemed a bit sweeter than usual. Other than that inconsistency, no complaints!

There is general parking at the end of the street if no one street is available. Nice area, lots of good spots to eat before you stop and grab a boba for the way home :)

Been wanting to go here for a long time, the matcha and taro tea was good as was the classic brown sugar tea with boba. ?

I love their signature milk tea and I like that it's not overly sweet

Tiny but cute place with good variety of teas. I got the grapefruit tea half sweetened and it was absolutely perfect for me. Pretty busy and being close to Yale I can see why. It's walking distance. Overall, pretty good.

Pretty tea shop! The regular brown sugar bubble tea is good, others just looked pretty the blue drinks are coconut based and the slushy were a bit too sweet for me.
