I specifically asked for 30% sugar, but she dumped in what looked like 4 full spoonfuls. It was way too sweet and completely missed the mark. What’s the point of offering sugar levels if they don’t follow them?

This place is great to grab a quick bubble tea. Always super happy with my order. The employees are super nice and very helpful! When my hands were full they ran out with a bag to make sure I could carry everything ☺️

The milk tea used to be good. Tastes bad now I can't stomach it. Not waiting my money here again. Inside, they even took away the stools to sit on while you wait.

Cute little tea spot! I did wait a bit, but that's only because they needed to make fresh boba for my order. They even double-checked with me to make sure the short wait was ok before finalizing the order. Kudos to them because I've had a surprise wait of 20+ minutes after placing an order.

I’m new to bubble tea and asked for guidance. They looked at me like I had two heads. Then I had to order on a kiosk and when I had a question about what something was a man acted like they didn’t hear me and after asking again in a polite way, the man didn’t expound on the answer at all. The customer service was def lacking. So I got my tea which was pretty good. I don’t think this place is for beginners. Can’t someone just give a man some help? Sheesh.

Place is decent but 1 star because they added tip to an order where I specifically did not tip. Days later my total went up $3 on my card, which is stealing. Will never come here again.
