I’ve ordered twice here, a few months apart while in the area. I usually go to Eden Center. It was made as ordered on the app. Service was quick and the space was clean and cool.

Delicious milk teas! Served quick and cold. Refreshing milk teas worth a try.

Great options for boba tea. They also serve waffles that taste heavenly.

The hardworking employees here are ultimately the saving grace of this absolute mediocrity of an establishment.

One of the worst highlights of this store is from the current manager, Stacey, who will spread rumors and untruthful crap behind employee's backs. She is also quite stingy in serving sizes and generally contributes to the declining atmosphere of the store. If you walk in with happy employees, good chance Stacey isn't there to scrutinize their every single move, giving them the freedom to treat you right.

While working under Stacey's management, there was no passion in serving the customers and the production of the beverages. Smoothies were blended hastily, resulting in an icy and chunky joke of an 8$ drink. Similarly, toppings frequently found themselves sparsely distributed into customers drinks AND poki bowls. Stacey would get very frustrated should we deviate even from the slightest amount more than the portion that she wanted us to give to customers.

Food from poki DC are often fried in week old seed oils and oftentimes side dishes are sourced from mass-produced frozen food. The boba is really sweet and uses high fructose corn syrup in nearly all aspects of the drink — Consider it diabetes in a cup.

Drinks are disgusting here, all powdery and sweetness levels are always off. Never coming here again and please be aware.

One of the better bubble tea options in this area.

The iced lychee sparkling drink was sweet, and the ice got melted immediately as boba was too hot 🫠

Drink was super sweet and powdery. The staff don't know how to make drinks. It was also very hot in the store and the aura was off..

This place is hit or miss depending on who’s working. If you have any alternative instructions (alt milk, less ice/sugar, add ingredients), then you’re in trouble even if you order through the kiosk which prints all your preferences.

Drinks are good when instructions are followed. But I no longer take the risk.
