This place is my regular go to for Boba teas. The recipe is so good that the teas are always just right in taste: not too sweet and not too bitter, just perfect. There is a small food offering as well, but the Boba teas are their speciality. The venue itself is a bit odd because it has a corner that looks like someone’s living room with a TV and armchairs and lots of child toys and it’s cordoned off so you can’t reach it and that’s why you can’t really use the restroom in here if you ever need to, but it doesn’t affect the quality of their drinks of course. The staff is always friendly and they offer a loyalty card as well so you can get one drink free after ordering 10.

Really JUST REALLY fantastic Boba!! The flavors are delicious yet not too sweet and the toppings selection is perfect . The food however is not their strong suit as it seemed a bit lazy but overly not bad flavor.

Awful!! I had the Thai ice tea Boba. They put a quarter inch amount of Boba in a tall plastic glass.. Then they put in.powered tea, and water. then they added a white powder with sugar. . Next they sealed and put it on a machine that was extremely similar to one's that shakes paint cans. It tasted very bland and watery. It was upsetting really. No condensed milk. Barely any tapioca balls. Horrible. ADDING TO MY REVIEW TODAY 11 5 2021. HERE IS WHAT THE OWNER ANSWERED ME: Hello Patricia, sorry you didn't like your Thai Iced Tea. Our shop is 30% less sweet than other shops and our Thai Tea is about half as sweet as our restaurant next door. Thai tea actually does not contain condensed milk, at our restaurant we use half and half and it's about as sweet as syrup. At our tea shop we use a non-dairy creamer, it does not contain sugar. We could have easily fixed this for you by adding more sugar if you would have simply let us know. There are super sweet shops that give you tons of boba and extremely sweet drinks. Our shop is more for the tea aficionados that prefer their drinks less sweet. But we can easily make drinks more sweet. But help us and other businesses out next time by letting us know you had a problem before you write a 1 star review, it could have been easily fixed. HERE IS MY ANSWER: 1) I told the young woman at the counter that I did not like it and why. Then I said exactly this, "Can you fix this for me?" SHE SAID NO! because there was a formula for the machine and it was IMPOSSIBLE!!!! So, I left it almost untouched on the counter and I left. She did not care at all. 2) It is an insult to label me as someone who is not a " Tea Aficionado" because I did not like your machine formulated and made tea. Your comment epitomizes your problem. It's not me, it's the customer! Saying that your tea would please a tea aficionado is like saying that a steak aficionado would be just as content with a meal from "Steak n Shake," as they would be from "Ruth's Chris Steak House". Please!! 3. You do not read carefully. I did not say it was not sweet enough, did I? I said it was bland. Actually it was very sweet, but thin and watery. What I should have mentioned is that it did not not have the richness of flavor that is usual in Thai iced tea. 4. You wrote this oxymoron: "we use half and half"... and "At our tea shop we use a non-dairy creamer" Huh? Half and half IS a dairy product (which is not sweet btw). Duh!! . And you are delusional, if you believe your fast food Boba and other foods a "Tea Shop". 5. The recipe that you claim is "authentic". Delusional again if not just lying. Look up any AUTHENTIC Southeast Asia recipe that is used in the US!! I did and they say ,. "Similar to hot Thai tea, real Thai iced tea is a mix of black tea, spices, sugar, SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK AND EVAPORATED MILK . You, the owner, are very confused. Why not post that your tea's are healthier than the average tea. Maybe people who are extra careful about their health would choose your place over others? Who knows? But, I am 67, am thin and eat good things in moderation. Picture 1-Me- normal person Picture 2. Notice how few Tapioca pearls there are compared to the average. Picture 3 Notice the counter etc and see that it is not a tea house. Picture 4 Notice the dead bee in the bottom of the drink posted by another customer. Picture 5 What a good Boba looks like. Notice the many pearls and the rich color.

Moses was so kind to my family and I and helped us by suggesting some drinks! The boba was really good!

Very good boba. Excellent service and great prices. And KK 23 did an excellent job.
