The greatest cafe in history
Super cute and atmospheric tea shop! If you love nerd and fantasy stuff, please check it out! The pot stickers and bao buns were super yummy too. They have games and books as well! Def will be back.

I’ve had a lot of Thai tea and a lot of boba in my life - this place is top tier. So delicious and rich. We got the Taiwan Red tea with boba and it was perfecttt.

I love my drinks in the morning but I don’t love the idea of going to Starbucks, so I’ve been looking for a replacement for quite some time. I tried this place yesterday and was blown away. My food and drink were incredibly satisfying. Plus I love how it’s not crazy packed and it’s reasonably priced.

Best bubble tea in Madison by a large margin. If you loved Jade Mountain like I did, this is the perfect replacement as the offerings are almost exactly the same.
A must go for any bubble tea enthusiasts

I have been here twice now and both of the employees were very pleasant and patient with me. The atmosphere of the cafe is quaint and accommodating. It’s seems like the employees really care about their customers. The milk tea tastes great too. I’ll have to try some of their food next time.
Parking: Limited street parking and small parking lot nearby. Probably best to take a bicycle or walk if possible

Food - had black sugar milk tea. Absolutely amazing, wasn't a real wait while it was busy
Service - quick understand and helpful.
Atmosphere - loud, but a great vibe highly recommend for a date addon or something to fill time!
Parking: Parking time is 30 minutes. This why it's a stop and go place in my opinion

This is my favorite place for tea. Bar none.
The staff are sweet, the teas are amazing (hot oolong is my favorite, it smells like plum trees), and I’m grateful for it being such a cozy space for games and good company. I’ve actually made at least 3 new friends here!
An old friend of mine loves the large glasses, commenting to me that it looks a little like a fantasy tavern that way. So in that spirit:
Start your adventure here, assemble a good party, & come back here after you’ve all saved the day.

Wow, everything here was so good. Staff were super helpful in navigating the menu, and everything we ordered was delicious. We got veggie potstickers, veggie bao, an iced roselle-strawberry tea with boba, and an iced coffee. Even the plain iced coffee was some of the best we've had! Tons of vegan options. Highly recommend and will be returning!

They brew each cup of tea and then ice it so it takes a while but it's worth it. If you order for-here, they serve it in an iced mug. There is plenty of comfortable seating, Wi-Fi, and board games.

We order frequently and it's one of our favorite places for bubble tea. Please consider updating the website when your operating hours or closures are different from normal.

This place is amazing! Some of the best boba I’ve had in a while. I got strawberry red tea with mango jellies, and there weren’t too few mango jellies and the tea was delicious, tasted like red tea (of course) with linings of strawberry, if that makes sense. The jellies were delicious and despite being rectangle shaped, didn’t cause any issues with the straw. A week after I came back to try their mango green tea, and I usually don’t order a lot of mango flavored things (normally because artificial flavoring for mango tastes like melon), and it tastes just like mango! I probably shouldn’t be as excited as I am right now but artificial mango broke my trust in mango flavored snacks and drinks. For those of you complaining about long wait and the place being filled with “kids”, that’s because East High School is a good 13 minute walk away. I would say 12:00 - 1:00pm is the busiest it gets on weekdays, since I’m assuming that’s when their lunch is? The kids are surprisingly not as disturbing as you would think, though. I spent about $6 per drink so the prices aren’t bad! Can’t wait to come again ❤️

The service is lovely, and the atmosphere is really peaceful and nice to be in. But the bubble tea isn’t great at all… it’s more milk than tea, the tea is very weak. Definitely not like how many of the Asian stores do their bubble tea. At least they have reasonably priced coffee, might just come here for that next time.

The coolest bubble tea shop in this area! The vibes/furniture are more traditional tea shop but there are multiple outlets at most seats and the menu is very creative with combination of traditional teas and interesting flavors. For-here drinks are served in glass mugs which is very eco-friendly. There's a sizeable collection of books and board games and lots of natural lighting. There's also a small food menu and the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable.
