I tried their (smoothie) sky shake and it was probably the best bubble tea flavor I’ve ever had. I was curious about the flavor since blue isn’t a common color for drinks and they described it as “blue matcha with coconut.” I personally don’t enjoy the flavor of coconut but this didn’t have a coconut flavor to it. It was subtly sweet and creamy. The tapioca pearls were not as dense as I would have liked them to be but that may just be my preference. The price was about $10 for a cup so it was a bit steep but it could be due to the location. Overall, I would suggest giving the sky shake a shot!

Tea was fine but they charged me a $1 extra when I asked for no ice in my drink. Charge not marked at all on the menu. Place also has a very strong smell inside...

The matcha smoothie with the tapioca pearls had good matcha flavor and color and was well-blended (no large ice chunks). I wish the straw had a slightly bigger diameter (or the bubbles slightly smaller) because quite a few got easily stuck in the straw. The $9.63 price was a bit of a sticker shock.

After six weeks in DC, this has been my favorite place to stop by and get a treat (too often honestly). The boba is perfect for me, the teas are flavorful, and the bao buns are delicious. Highly recommend :)

They have a pretty nice range of flavors and options to choose from. I enjoyed the pumpkin milk tea a lot. Their mung bean bun was also really good! They have a counter to sit and eat at to if you want to stop for a minute. The inside is very pretty and the atmosphere is pleasant. The service was quick and the worker at the counter was very helpful!! Will definitely be coming back on future trips.

The best authentic banh mi in the DMV! The proportions of the cha and pate sandwich are perfectly balanced and the portion is unbeatable for the price. Also their veggie bao is so flavorful and a wonderful use of mung bean and shiitake! I enjoyed my lunch at their tiny counter with some Viet iced coffee and New Jeans playing in the background, admiring the cute mural on the wall with some friends.

Really delicious banh mi sandwiches, which are made to order, so it's not exactly an instant fast food experience. There is a small bar counter with a few stools if you want to dine in, otherwise this is a carry out situation.
My wife and I discovered this bubble tea shop earlier this year while walking around Columbia Heights and we both loved it and look forward to returning.

Quickly stopped by this shop for some boba - and I could not be more pleased! I got a peach tea with boba, and thought it was delicious (with the boba being perfectly sweet and chewy). The person working was extremely sweet and helpful. I also thought the ambiance was cute and clean (photos attached).Would absolutely return for some more boba!!

Went back a second time today and had yet another great experience. I placed my order online ahead of time on theand it was ready when I got there. I ordered the bbq pork banh mi and it was tasty, definitely a good value for the price! Had the passion fruit green tea which was also delicious. This is my new go-to place for bubble tea and bhan mi! Going to try the pork buns next time. ?

Stopped in for a banh mi after one of my Viet-American friends recommended it as the best banh mi in DC proper.I got the #1 combination banh mi and can confirm that it was the best in DC! The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and most importantly, it comes with the pate! I loved it so much and my regret is not getting two (one for now, one for later). Service was super nice too!

Have a great selection of teas, steamed buns, and bahn mi. I’ve had the Taro and Oolong bubble tea and both were great. Looking forward to coming back.
