Sadly the boba tea just tasted like sweetened milk. Hardly any tea flavor at all. Basically paid $6 for a small cup of milk with sugar. :(

i've been here twice and both times my drink was pretty lackluster. the tapioca here is just a bit strange... the service the past time i went was a bit odd too. the employees weren't explicitly unpleasant, but i sat in the cafe for a little while as i was drinking my order, and it felt like i was somehow intruding. maybe i've just come on off days. the seating area is very nice, albeit a bit small. i could see it being a good place to study if you're a student. one thing i DO really love is the drink lids with the little bear/cat ears!

The tea are always so good but please season your boba better, esp today a little more syrup goes a long way !

Food: I ordered a taro milk tea and banana pudding. The milk tea was not very tasty; however, the banana pudding was delicious.Service: The service was substandard. When we asked for additional utensils after receiving the order, the employee seemed annoyed. A “no problem :)” would have made all the difference.

This place is literally the king. Best tea I have had in a while. I got banana pudding, hot rose milk tea, and mango tango. Everything was delicious and perfectly sweet.

This boba place was probably the worst place I’ve ever had boba from. No flavor whatsoever and completely just watered down tea. I spent 15 dollars on a medium sized boba and I find that absolutely ridiculous.

My taro milk tea did not have much of a flavor besides creamy milk with a hint of coconut taro. I ordered less sugar which was 50%... but it didn't really have much of a sweetness. Usually at boba tea places I order 30% sweetness and it's the perfect sugar level.

The tea tastes like nothing. It's mostly milk. Boba King, premium bubble tea, ok. Sure. The service is also ... awkward. The one staff is clearly trying to flirt with the other and the person is trying to ignore it. Uncomfortable. There's better out there.

Lovely boba shop!!! The service was quick and easy. The store is super super adorable! And the drinks were good! The boba was a bit hard for me though.

After a long day of walking and touring the city, we stopped here for nice and cool refreshments. I opted for the Mango Tango and added boba, and it absolutely hit the spot for me.Mango Tango is a special drink inspired by cocktails. It is a mix of mango and grapefruit that is pleasing to the mouth. Mango tango is very refreshing, and the natural sweetness of mango and the bittersweet taste of grapefruit is a perfect match!This was my first time trying the Mango Tango, and I will recommend the drink. It was simply fantastic!Super fast service, friendly service behind the counter, great ambiance, and highly recommend Boba King!

One of my favorite boba places! Has vegan options - oat milk and almond milk. Love the cute bear ear lids. There is limited seating downstairs. Upstairs, there is a bathroom and more seating.

I entered the shop and stood in line for about three minutes with no one in line except me. They finally took my order and they said “I’ll make right now” as she said that she left the cup on the table and left to go do something else. After about another three minutes they started making it and I cannot explain how SLOW they walk and move. They have conversations in between making the drink which makes them stop or go even slower. I finally got my order and walked outside, I took a big sip and looked at the cup to see NO boba. I walked back in and asked if I had to ask for boba which I clearly did. They said yes and I said “So where is the boba?” They said they DONT HAVE ANY. For a place called BOBA King I would assume they would have boba. That is the only reason I went there in the first place, to get boba. This happened twice and for some reason my drink was more expensive WITHOUT the boba. Last time I went I spent 6.07 with the boba same size and everything. This time I spent 6.24 without the boba just the tea. I am really disappointed because I asked for a refund and they said no.
