The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, they explained the different flavors, suggested combinations, and even made sure to accommodate dietary needs like vegan and gluten-free options.“

“We went for the first time today and will frequently be back! The staff were so friendly and helpful and we got to try samples of everything we wanted to try. The prices were so reasonable and everything we got was delicious. Also tried a sample of the jelati cakes and we will definitely be back to pick up one of those in future!!!“

I personally think they are a bit pricey...buuuut, the quality and variety you get, make it worth every dollar. The staff members are also quite friendly and helpful. All and all, a truly memorable experience.“

“I absolutely love this place! I got the mango boba tea, and it was beautiful and tasted more than amazing. The boba was super fresh and chewy, and the mango tea had a great flavor without being too sweet. There were two staff working and were amazingly fast and friendly. I'll definitely be back! Thank you Everest Boba!!“

“the cookies are warm and taste ok but not worth the price. the place doesn't seem warm and inviting and the cashier wasn't really helpful. I will not be traveling all the way from whiteville NC again just to visit the store“
