Ordered my food from Sun Sun Ramen that's next door to this place then came here to try their smoothie. As I was standing in line, the person in front of me was a friend of the worker and were literally talking stories...she could see a line forming. There were 3 or 4 people behind me but kept talking which I thought was inconsiderate to keep everyone waiting. After I gave her my order for a Honeydew Melon smoothie that comes with boba, went back to Sun Sun to pick up my food and it was ready so it's telling me that my drink order took a while. Went back to pick up my smoothie and it was also ready. The color of my smoothie looked different from all the other places I've ordered from. After taking my first sip, I realized that they use real fruit. I was disappointed because it hardly had any taste and it tasted watery. They may need to use more fruit and less ice. Overall, the worker that was talking to her friend was sweet but realized she didn't offer the drink stamp card (saw it in one of my pics), they made my drink in a timely manner but it was nothing special where I would want it again.

The tea here hasn't let me down once! Staff are super nice, and they have a large variety of snacks too.

The Service from glasses man was sarcastic and snarky - not sure if intentional but he was very rude. Boba is okay tho

The asian girl working the counter needs to work on her customer service skills FR. If there were other boba options nearby I wouldn't even waste my time here. Drinks are mid.

Drinks are good and there's a lot of snack options. But took over 20 minutes for our drinks. Not good enough for the wait.

Ordered an oolong tea with boba, I had requested it be less sweet so the guy asked if 25% would be ok and I said that'll be perfect! Got my drink 3 min later and I take a sip and I kid you not it was like 100% sugar! Um I won't be returning thanks.What the heck.Boba was cooked perfectly. So there's that.

Blah! It was a watered-down version of a smoothie. No taste. I kept drinking it hoping to taste the mango taste in it. It was a bright yellow smoothie with zero taste. That explains why no one was in there.

I have been here a number of times and sometimes forget to check in because I am so excited to get my drink. Shaka Shaka Tea Express is great place for smoothies, bubble tea or other drinks and snacks. Try the Macaroons as well, they are legit. I like Shaka Shaka Tea Express because they use real fruit. I have never experienced a long wait for my drink and or rude service. The drinks always come pretty quickly within five minutes or so, and the service has always been great. The store is stocked with all kinds of interesting snakes from various Asian countries. They are located in the Salt Lake Shopping Center and its close to where I live so it's really convenient to drop in and pick up a smoothie drink or a snack. My regular order is the Pineapple and Mango smoothie and its tasty and refreshing, especially with this warm weather lately. Last night I tried the Coconut Taro Don't forget to get a stamp card, I keep forgetting and now have two or three. I will definitely be back for more smoothies. Next on the list to try will be the new flavor, Pineapple, Orange and Guava.

Can't beat real fruit smoothies (no powder). They have seasonal specials so make sure to check the blackboard behind the register to see what's in season. A little pricey for a boba drink, but worth it since it's fresh fruit! They also have a bunch of Asian and local snacks on the shelves, and macaroons in the cold case-- can't speak to the macaroons but the drinks are why we come here weekly! TIP: ask for a stamp card, $4 off on your 10th drink.

The stuff itself is ok but it is extremely unsanitary first off they have a fish tank in the front thats so dirty you can't even see the poor fish in there yes they still have fish in there. Service is slow and the guy making the drinks continually wipes his nose and goes back to making the drinks there also a girl that helps with food prep in the back that was sneaking things into her mouth while working
