I had to come back after our Yelp event for another visit. I wanted another tea. I was out and about early on a weekday morning. I ended up outside of the Ankeny location before they opened. I was trying to locate what I had enjoyed at the previous visit, but I couldn't remember, so I just went inside. The young woman behind the counter was attentive and happy to help me pick out a good drink. I remembered that it was a fruit tea with the fruit bursts. The place was bright and clean, just like my last visit. It was nice to see that the choices were the same and looked just as good as before. I asked her what her favorite was, and we were able to get a good drink together. I really like the little flavor bursts that you can add to the drink. She had the drink up shortly after that. (Yelp has a check-in coupon) It didn't take long for me to have it gone. It was really good and with the great customer service I know I will be back again.

Tasty milk with strawberries and rose. The croissant waffle with strawberries and cream was delicious!

I literally find excuses to go to Ankeny just so I can stop here. I crave the matcha milk tea from here on the daily. Customer service is almost always very friendly. Highly recommend!

Not going to lie... I live around the corner from the Windsor Heights Ocha location so I am probably not going to be a frequent visitor at the new shop. But it's nice to know the option is there when I'm out and about in Ankeny... I frequent Uptown Food and Beverage and The Attice as well as Sportsman's Warehouse... So I am in the area now and then. A Hokkaido at 50% with coffee jelly is my go to! I've gotten to know Aom over the years. You couldn't ask for a better owner than her and her husband Nick. I will continue to support both Ocha locations as well as Eat Thai (in Clive) as much as I can.

We were here Sunday before we joined my friend's family for dinner next door at Mojitos. My friend had a strawberry crouffle and a mango smoothie, and I had an almond milk tea and the shaved ice dessert that is pink with rainbow popping boba. It was quite a bit bigger than I expected, so it took me quite a while to finish. Once it melted, it tasted like the Frankenberry cereal milk, after one eats the cereal. The place is quiet and cosy, with comfortable seating. Friendly staff. Prices about average for boba shops. The smell in the place was wonderful, just as soon as I opened the door. My friend's daughter plans to stop by the next time she wants boba tea. Lot parking. MarcyDiner'sTantrumScale 5/5- NoScreamingKids.

I am so glad this location came to Ankeny. I have a sweet tooth and I love trying their desserts. This time I had the croffle with strawberries. It was so delicious. I also had the fresh strawberry milk. It's so refreshing and I love the strawberries! I've had the iced matcha tea here in the past. That is also a great choice here. Next time I want to try the matcha ice cream.

Tonight was our first visit and we will be back. Fabulous super flavorful bubble teas. The Croffles were so fun. The Bananutella was so wonderful. Stop in and give this spot a shot.
Huge fan of Ocha, they open there first location in Windsor Heights near my job and I was hooked. So glad they came to Ankeny. They have a great mix of flavors of classic tea, flavor fruit teas, milk teas, smoothies, and slush. It's great they have options for vegan, gluten-free, caffeine-free free, and non-veg. Now they have Croffle which am super excited about. I got the strawberry on the cloud and watermelon green tea with mango popings.

This is a wonderful place to get boba. The barista was fantastic and friendly. My wife and I both loved our drinks. The best boba we've tried in the area. Definitely intend to go back. My wife got the lavender milk tea with boba. I got the taro milk tea with boba, and they were awesome enough to add matcha to mine, which is my favorite way to have boba. I recommend this place. Totally worth it.

Was not impressed by the "coffle"

The one negative is that it’s expensive. The upside is that this is legit bubble tea. My standard black milk tea with brown sugar boba was around $9. I say that as a person who has lived in Taiwan and vacationed in Taichung City, the city where bubble tea was originally created. Some bubble teas have old boba and nasty fake drink mixes. Not this place. Well done black pearl/brown sugar boba and the choice of sweetness that I like.
