Super great boba, quick service and good vibes inside.

Hot day, wife and I wanted something cold, stopped in for boba! I had the Halo-Halo snow bubble and wife had Thai Tea milk. Flavors were very good. Great place!

Their boba drinks are really good. Tried the strawberry yogurt one. It was yummy.

I have been there in the past, so I am rating based on both experiences. The staff is friendly and for the most part nice. The first time they were super busy and it took forever for my order to be ready, way more than half an hour forever. The second time they weren't and it took 10 minutes tops to give me my 7 drinks. Which is ironic because the first time the drinks were great! The second time they were wrong, as in I have no idea what flavor they were because you could hardly taste them, they were all watered down and gross. I ordered 2 ice peach green teas that stayed in the refrigerator for days because they were so bitter it was impossible to drink them. I was asked if I wanted my receipt. I said no because I had such a good experience in the past. I called to complain but have nothing to prove my purchase with, so no luck getting a refund! If you come here don't forget your receipt!Otherwise the place is clean, the atmosphere is nice and the staff is friendly!

Nice prices compared to $7 bobas these days, always consistent with orders and friendly staff

Best mango nada drink, best customer service, love this TE location! I would highly recommend family & friends here

Stress happens. The food is good.

I ordered online at doordash this morning and the sauces are missing even the boba in my milk tea is missing.

This place is SO DIRTY AND ?. I can’t believe I’m sitting waiting for my drink and see how dirty it is… making my boba drink in a filthy kitchen that I’m at risk of getting sick. CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS. ALL THE GIRLS THERE WORK SO SLOW.. I waited over 30 minutes for my order.. they were backed up and 7 other people were also waiting for their drinks. You call yourself a business??

I am giving one star for this restaurant because the open hours on the Google map is incorrect. They do not open until 1 a.m. Business MUST fix the open hours so customers don’t go waste gas and time.
