For the drinks I give it 4 stars, so if that is what you are going for I do recommend stopping in. Our order did take about 10minutes, which may or may not have been due to the egg waffles. The staff didn't seem busy, but were all very nice and gave good recommendations.Their drinks are VERY sweet. I ordered a Brown Sugar Milk Tea with 50% sugar and it was equivalent to most places 100% sugar.The tapioca pearls(amber bubbles on their menu) are chewy and sweet. What I really appreciated was that you can taste the tea itself, which has a good, strong flavor.The reason for a 3 star review is due to their Egg Waffles. Generally these should have a crispy exterior and fluffy inside, lightly sweet. These however tasted undercooked.They are given to you inside bags that cause them to rapidly build up condensation, making them mushy. When we got them they were sort of balled up at the bottom of the bags. They felt wet with absolutely no crisp to them. If they were served in cones they'd hold up, but as they are now I give them 0 out of 5.

I was browsing on Uber Eats for bubble tea and found this place! Best bubble tea that I have ever had! Fresh, tasty and real fruit pieces in the drinks. Planning on visiting in person soon.

In all honesty I'm not a bubble tea person in general and maybe that's why I didn't like their brown sugar with black tea and Oreo special. The black tea did not sit well with the Oreo taste.Quantity was good. Because of the long lines our order took a while.

Reasonable price, delicious flavored oolong milk tea. I'd be here so much if I lived in the area.

Best non-bubble tea at a bubble tea place! You have to order one of the mojito options. They are sour, sweet and absolutely delicious! The lychee green milk tea also tasted great but was not surprising. I kept seeing someone in my apartment miles away getting delivery from the store and had to see what the hype was to pay the delivery fee for drinks and now I definitely understand: It’s like ordering a special dessert treat. They also have little macarons and a rather cute design/aesthetic to the shop. The drinks are a bit pricey and there are no relatively cheaper options, but that’s not much different from other bubble tea places and coffee shops. Replace that Starbucks latte one day with a delicious bubble tea mojito, you won’t regret it!

Been here many times and each time left disappointed. Despite getting 0% or 30% sugar the drinks were overwhelmingly sweet, it tasted like getting 100% sugar. The drinks also had an artificial taste to it.

Great bubble tea location with so many options and flavors! Probably the best rose milk tea that I’ve had. Keep in mind though how to input the straw into the cup though as I was a little bit thrown off.

I came here this past weekend to get a drink with a friend. I got the Lychee Mojito and she got bubba tea. First, this place offers many many many many drink options. You can come here 20 times and still haven't tried all the drinks on the menu. Second, their cups are very innovative and different. Not your typical drink cups! Finally, the staff are very friendly and they work very hard to fulfill multiple orders at the same time. My only criticism is most of their drinks come in one size (large) so you can't choose a smaller size, and their drink prices are on average $5, so you won't get a cheap drink here. If they offer small sizes at $2 or $3 that may attract even more people, and the children since children won't finish a large-size drink.

SO LONG AS YOU SHAKE YOUR DRINK FIRST it is the most delicious bubble tea in the whole city hands-down.The first time I ordered from here, I thought it was completely disgusting because I didn't shake it and my first sip was just a mouthful of bland cream. I was so confused as to why my friends were raving about this nasty place and I didn't go back for months, but when I did, someone explained that you're meant to shake the drink thoroughly before you drink it. What a world of difference that makes!

Drink our good but today I had the worst experience with the cashier ever. My order came to like $33.17. I gave her $40.25. She threw my quarter in the jaw and gave me $6.83 back. Try to tell her that I have you the change because I don't want a whole punch of coins. Then she ignored what I said and gave me $6 back and ask me if I want the coin change?? What the heck????
