Was such a good substitute for coffee in the evening
The line can get to be a lot but sometimes you get lucky. If you do happen to pass by when the store isn't so busy it is worth your while to stop by for some tea. The staff gives out samples and is overall very helpful in finding you the flavor you want, which is particularly useful if you're new to the world of specialty teas like this
I got the original milk tea, and it was what you’d expect. What stood out were the soft and fresh tapioca pearls, making the drink more enjoyable. Alternative milk options are limited. The shop has an aesthetic interior and the boba packaging is really cute.
Had Taro Bubble Milk Tea and Cassia black tea with organic milk. Loved the taro drink! The cassia tea was not bad but wouldn't want to order it again. Ordering was easy, with giant tablet or with the staff. The place was constant with flow of people, but the staff was definitely well trained. The place is clean with cute decor and decent amount of seats and tables. A bit on the pricy side considering the size is not that big. For the price they charge for the milk tea, other places would be twice the size. Love the environmentally friendly carrier though! Very unique. I'll probably try the green tea stuff next time.
My favorite bubble tea shop! ❤️ The tapioca is just the right amount of chewiness and the tea flavor in the milk teas is strong--it's not just all milk and sugar. They have 3 sweetness options (no sugar, light, regular I believe) and a few ice level options. As someone who likes a sweet (but not insanely sweet) milk tea, the light sugar option is perfect. I usually get milk tea with black tea or green tea.
The queue can be quite long so that's something to be aware of, but it's one of those things that's worth trying at least once! They also often give free samples of one of their teas, which is a nice touch:)
We arrived around 45 minutes before closing, and it was pretty busy. We ordered the Fruit Tea and the Osmanthus Oolong Tea with Mango and liked both. Our drinks came out in under 10 minutes. The interior is small, but we were able to find a spot as people left. I liked how they offered free samples. One thing to note is that the parking is very tight.
Best boba place in the world! I really don’t know why it has a 4.2 rating, because I can never find boba as good as this. The only problem is that once they moved to the mall, the line got really long. I would say that you should be prepared to wait 20min for your tea. Despite that, I still highly recommend this place!
Tea is very well brewed. Maybe one of the best among all boba shops. Highly recommend green tea with honey.
Taste horrible and overpriced
as a taiwanese person who frequently drinks tea this place is overhyped! super watered down tea
Restaurantji Recommends
Decent drink but horrible service, idk what wrong with the tall guy with the glasses on. Just be lil polite to your customers.
Cassia Black tea - nope
Osthmanthus oolong tea - nice. With honey and mango would be nice
Dragon tea - good
Fresh milk+brown sugar - nice
Max sweetness for all is 75%. Strange. Shouldn't they just make that 100% and adjust the other percentages accordingly since each shop has their own sweetness system? I'm not a boba tea mafia don though, so what do I know? Maybe they do have a universal system.
Bobas are soft, but there's a LITTLE portion in the middle of each one that is not, so maybe they just need to boil the bobas a bit longer.
Cute string carry out designs around the cups.
Service is quick.
Solid takeout spot. Seating is not very much either, so it's designed to churn out as much people as quickly as possible.
Amazing milk tea and service. Would come again! I recommend the Taro Series and Cassida black tea.
They had great milk tea. I dont know how they make it better than others, but its now one of my top 3. Also really liked their taro as it had actual taro bits.
Was my favorite place till they moved to the mall in Bellevue. Now it is even more crowded than before, service is slow, a bit confusing, orders take too long (been 2 times to new location at different times). Quality of drinks is a bit hit and miss but I believe it is due to sheer volume of orders they are processing rather than change is recipes or products used
