It is a place with few staff but very efficient. Not to mention that the products, the teas are very good and very delicious, and it is worth mentioning that they have a great variety of flavors and styles. They have special products that are their specialty. Highly recommended for a social event or for a romantic date.

Pretty solid drinks. Taro teas were good, panda milk tea was really good, and the coconut smoothie was really really good!

Some of the best Boba Teas I've ever had, especially for the price. Some choices can be super sweet but I actually don't mind ?

We got it for delivery, but even though we picked it up, it was still fresh. The taro tea was good, but I think they use the powder version, and it wasn't mixed completely. My woman likes the Panda milk tea, plus it came in an awesome cup. My coconut smoothie was definitely good. It was a pretty warm day, so the drinks were definitely refreshing.

Hip spot for meeting friends out with adjoining sit down restaurant. Mango bubble waffle with vanilla ice cream and chocolate dipped sticks was the reason for the stop and was everything I hoped it would be! The Japanese fries with spices, seeds, and sauce were savory. The shrimp rolls were not what appeared to be jumbo shrimp and were, well, shrimpy, and surrounded by a lot of breading. It would be better with jumbo shrimp ratio. Companion ordered a boba "tea" and coconut shrimp, both enjoyable.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access, concrete floors, no stairs.
Very kind and courteous staff. Drinks are made the same way every time, which isn't always the case with boba places. Interior isn't really the best for hanging out at, could use a face lift compared to all of the other boba shops within a couple of miles off here, but it's not bad. What it lacks in decor, it makes up for in consistency of drinks and quality of service.Panda milk tea is the go-to here for me.

I and my boyfriend had a great time. We came here for the matcha eggette sundae and it did not disappoint. It had a great balance between sweet and unsweet. You may have to wait for around 10 minutes for a sundae if they are busy though!The service was well attentive. The inside is darker than the pictures, but I enjoyed it overall.

They do not have Bingsu ("snowy ice") like it shows on the menu on the yelp pics. I did not get anything here but came here for the Bingsu. I hope they update their menu on yelp.

I am a NEW fan of Boba Tea and Royal Tea!!! Mainly Tu. She was amazing. Answered ALL of my many many inquiries with a smile and made my whole day. She is very knowledgeable and was able to break it down for me. I had been avoiding Boba for a while as it was an unknown. Now I know I have many options of toppings and flavors to choose from thanks to Royal Tea. In additional to all of the great customer service, clean and comforting atmosphere, and intelligent Baristas on staff, I am a huge fan of how your drink comes sealed and the straws are appropriately sized for being able to enjoy toppings throughout your drink!! Plus this location is a FiveStars Loyalty Program Member... So I am also earning points while enjoying delicious drink combinations! Loads of cool flavor combinations , plus reasonable prices! Again, from beginning to end, Tu and Royal Tea have helped me be open to experiencing all the flavors! My family and I will be back! Soon!!!Dietary restrictions: So, this place has soo many varieties of drinks. I cannot imagine that they could not accommodate even the most restricted of diets. Then again, any more restrictions on your diet and I would recommend eating at home, seriously ..
