When I arrived, there were only a 4 TGTG customers ahead of me, yet I had to wait over 20 minutes for my order. The staff looked very busy walking around, and I had no idea what was taking so long.
When I finally got my drink, I specifically told them it was to-go, but they didn’t seal the cup at all. Instead, they just placed it in a huge bag with no cup holder. As a result, the drink spilled all over my car. The bag got soaked, the bottom broke, and the milk tea made a complete mess.
The price is $7+ for a small cup, considering the quality and size of other brands around, I would say don’t come at all!

It’s really a hit or miss when it comes to this place. When the right person is there the drinks are good, but on other days like today, you get served a glass of iced milk instead of what you actually ordered.

Says they close at 8pm, we went at 7pm and it was closed. No sign or anything just everything locked up.

Yummy Boba. And I like that you can adjust the sugar level. I got the coffee milk tea + traditional boba at 50% sugar. It was just the right amount of sweet. Both my kids got their drinks at 75% and it was also a good level of sweetness. We had the Frankenstein and the Pineapple Hawaii Ice Tea.

So Positives : The Boba Teas Are Amazing & The Customer Service Never Misses! It's Always Clean Inside As Well.
Negative: THE WEEKEND HOURS ARE HIT OR MISS...ITS ALWAYS OPENING LATE ON THE WEEKENDS...OR OPEN AND NO BOBA READY...
I WOULD SUGGEST UPDATING THE HOURS ONLINE IF THOSE ARE NOT THE CORRECT WEEKEND HOURS.
I Give 3.5 Stars Because Of The Inconsistency Of The Weekend Hours...

I would like to give a shoutout to this place. The staff who was working the 10/18/24 evening shift was the most amazing and considerate person i came across. They put customer service and request as the top priority. Now about the food the cookies and baked goods were nice and the drinks had amazing flavor.
Parking: There is plenty of street parking in front of the store. It can get busy during the evening or long weekends.
Rose milk tea boba was delicious, very rose-y, which I love. Asked for 25 % sweetness and it seemed a little *too* sweet but I think it was because I had not stirred it up.

I ate here not only the food is expensive but after I woke up I got a tip charged to my card that I didn't approve I don't like restaurants that do this bullshit if I didn't tip it means I don't want to spend anymore money cause I spend enough

This place is mid, in addition the service takes way too long. The barista spends more time chatting with her friends visiting the shop then focusing on making customers' drinks. Straight cash grab. I was excited to try it however ended up disappointed.

If I could rate it -3.138474 stars I would. The pineapple Hawaii ice tea tasted like top notch Home Depot floor cleaner. Did they forget the sugar and what even is Hawaii ice? Also got a large Cake milk tea and it didn’t look safe to drink. I also think they forgot the oat milk they charge 85 cents for. No way we just picked the worst flavors. I think they forgot the syrups. The tea must’ve been brewing all day because it tastes worse than DC’s toilet water.
I’ve included a photo of the cake milk tea. Please don’t get nauseous.
This makes me appreciate Fairfax and Tea Do and TeaDM.
My critiques: 1) Their milk teas are pretty average upon first try and you can tell and see that powder is used for the “tea” portion of the milk tea, in which I’ve had actual tea used in my milk tea at another shop and it’s way tastier and makes a difference. It tastes watered down and you have to add sweet toppings to make it taste decent, in which all toppings are extra and seem to run up the price in a way that doesn’t seem worth it. A one free topping incentive might make things better. 2) Went one day about 15 minutes after opening and was told that I’d have to wait 45 minutes for the boba pearls to be made after I waited for opening time and then walked all the way there. On another day, I went during the posted hours and they were closed. Seems like you have to gamble your luck with them being ready and consistent if you decide to go.
You’ll go here after your first time if you know no better product, like I did. Hope they make changes and become better, since they’re in a great spot of the city.

The closing cashier prepared her friend's order before mine, even though I arrived and ordered beforehand. Additionally, the boba is mediocre and expensive. Go to Gong Cha instead, a 5 minute walk away.

Adorable Boba place with friendly staff. Stayed nearby for a week long conference and came back multiple times. Each Boba drink was great both tea and coffee and loved the dirty milk drinks in the hot weather. The croissants and sandwiches were also great. Definately will be back when I'm back in DC.

This place is okay, the tea is tasty (I've been here once before), but they have the worst iced "slush" tea I've ever had. I usually expect a blended ice, slushie-type texture. The person turned on the blender for one second, there were still full ice cubes and a giant chunk of ice on top. If you visit, maybe stick with the regular iced or hot teas.
