Mingos Cookies & Bubble Tea

I’ve been bringing my daughter here regularly—about every other week—for quite some time, as it’s always been one of our favorite spots. However, we’ve recently taken a break from visiting, I was disappointed to see the experience has changed.
Our drinks lacked the flavor and quality we were used to. The milk teas had powder or something in them, and my smoothie/slushie was watery rather than rich and blended. The cookies, which we used to love, didn’t seem as well-prepared, and the presentation overall felt rushed and a bit sloppy.
The staff also didn’t feel as warm or welcoming as before. There used to be a wonderful team member—short with red hair—who always made us feel seen and cared for. She was incredibly kind to my daughter and me, and our orders were always perfect when she was around. We haven’t seen her lately, and her presence is truly missed.

That said, we still enjoy the atmosphere and charm of the place and genuinely hope to see things return to the quality and service we once looked forward to.

The cookies are so good and so big. I enjoyed the first bite I took. The service was good and I will be back again. I recommend this place for any dessert carving.

Cookies so-so. Bubble tea great. They don’t keep all the flavor options in stock. Nice staff. Go for a between-meal or after-meal refreshment. Just a cute little visit.

The people here are so sweet and nice. My favorite is the Rose Bubble Tea (Boba)

The staff was so sweet and the place is so cute.. super hot with no ac..: the boba was warm without ice. The cookie was not the best.

The place is so nice and the decorations are amazing! I tried one of their lemonades with boba and was so happy with my decision! It was just amazing! And the color is super cute as well.

Cute restaurant with a nice atmosphere.

We always receive great service at Mingos, but last night stands out! (3/4/25) Took our daughter out for her birthday celebration, and the individual working last night went above and beyond to provide my daughter with special care. It was so sweet to see her day be boosted in such a way. Thank you for the great and loving service! We will continue to refer your business!

My favorite spot for boba 🧋 and my husband likes their cookies! Briefly they had gluten free cookies and I wish they would bring that back. They were always sold out and then suddenly stopped serving them at all. Very sad for those of us with food allergies.

The best cookies!! We tried the boba too. Also delicious! They have good quality tapioca, I hate when other places tapioca tastes like gel/gritty. Theirs has great flavor and texture. The cookies are warm and soft and literally the best flavor, surprisingly not too sweet even though they look like they would be. And HUGE!! They put crumbl to shame fr. Definitely if you’re in irmo/lexington try these guys out! The girls at the counter we’re nice and also patient with us asking questions 🌸

Amazing employees! My daughter spilled her drink everywhere and it made a huge mess. She was so embarrassed and on the verge of tears, both employees without hesitation came over and reassured my daughter that it was no big deal and happens all the time. They remade her drink and cheered her right up. Kira and Scarlett, you both will go far in life with your kindness and positive attitudes. This world needs more compassion, thank you girls for showing us that today.

Amazing cookies! The bubble tea is fresh and the best in town!!!

My all-time favorite flavor of boba tea is cotton candy, and this is the only nearby location that sells it! It’s perfectly sweet, and the mango boba is SUPERB! I will definitely be back to order another!

Forgot to take pics of their place BUT it was very pretty. There are many flower and flamingo decor which just makes the place so cute. The lady who took our order was really nice, she was very respectful in telling us the tapioca wasn't ready, so we came back later in 20 minutes. She was really nice, the place looked really nice, the drinks were amazing. We got a raspberry fruit tea with tapioca, pineapple fruit tea with kiwi popping pearls, and a chai milk tea with no boba. Definitely recommend!

The service here is always so slow. Tonight I had to stand there for nearly 10 minutes before I was even acknowledged. I also overheard them talking trash about me and admitting they saw me walk in. If tea and cookies weren't so delicious I'd stop going all together.
