    This is a cute little boba shop that has wonderful boba! The popping boba is delicious, and you can mix and match different flavors. There are even specialty mixes to try if you're feeling adventurous. The service was good and the ambiance was clean and engaging, where people can play games and hang out casually.

    the interior of a donut shop

    Had the itch to try out a new boba place, and this happened to be across the street from where I was eating. My impression upon walking in the building was "oh this is nice!" The inside has a coffee shop like vibe with comfortable seating along the edges, and lots of decorations on walls. It was also phenomenally clean. I ordered the number one. The drink itself was super good. I've never had crème brûlée in a drink before. However, I found myself thinking " I wish there wasn't boba in it". The boba places I usually frequent make fresh boba throughout the day. Compared to that, this boba was subpar. It was far too chewy and there was too much of it in the drink, taking away from the delicious flavor.

    Amazing! The young man behind the counter was fantastic. We didn't know what to get because this is the first time we've been here and he took his time to explain the different drinks.. the ones we chose chose the number two and my husband got the orange drink. They were fantastic, and we also ordered the waffle, which was really good.

    Boba guru is such a good spot to get boba in Utah. Service is always on top and the workers are so nice. My go to is the peach green tea but this time I ordered the fresh strawberry milk and it was amazing I will order again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place is clean and it is so cute inside the decorations match the vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Newish spot that has opened up in West Valley! What I like about this place is that the menu isn't too overwhelming and they really hone onto few flavors and selections that are winners. It's a very clean and open space with ample parking in the plaza. I got the Smatcha and my brother got the Grape Kiwi. Both were aesthetically pleasing and tasted great! I like their take on using crystal boba jellies which is a nice change up from regular boba. Also, got their seasonal Mochi Grinch Waffle! Simple, but hits the spot. It stands by itself, but got the strawberry sauce that added extra sweetness and tartness. Really enjoyed this boba shop and excited to go back!

    Great boba. Honestly the boba is super sweet and they don't have a ton of popping boba flavors and the service staff didn't seem happy to be there. Overall is a clean place. I would go back to try custom options because the special options are super sugary

    Sea cream coffee

    Boba gurú is the latest relaunch of the former ding tea west valley. I'm not certain what caused the switch, but I was told that the owners stayed the same. That's great news, as Ding Tea west valley has always been the best location. There have been a few small design changes, but otherwise, the staff is nice, the vibe is the same, and most importantly the drinks were great. I had the sea cream coffee with boba and loved the flavor. 1

    Brulee Thai Tea
    Moana N.

    The Crème Brulee Thai Boba Monster Latte is fantastic! It's rich and creamy. Essence of a Thai Latte, just thicker. The sea foam is delicious, and the boba adds texture. Staff were extremely helpful in explaining the different menu options and combinations that they offer. This shops hip music and vibrant colors gave it a playful ambiance. Two thumbs up.

    Cute seal style on the boba cups.

    Rating (maximum points = 5) Value for money: 4.5 Cleanliness: 5 Food Quality: 4.5 Customer Service: 5 Look and Feel (Ambiance): 5 Thank you, Come Again?: 4.5 Boba Guru is a boba tea shop located in the far west side of West Valley City. Their menu offers a wide variety of classic and unique boba tea flavors. If you're a fan of kawaii/cute squishy plushies, BG offers a shelf full of "OMG! I want them all" stuffed animals. From my understanding the staff rotates the plushie varieties and so once they are sold out they may not be available again. For this visit, the shop offered "piggies in costume while drinking boba tea" collection. Brûlée Thai Tea: The cup is lined with a creamy creme brûlée style smear. This is tasty but I'm not a fan of the the separated chunks when you take a sip. The Thai tea flavor is on point but I would recommend trying to re-work the recipe for the creme brûlée smear. My guess this is a cream cheese base that wasn't mixed very well. The tapioca pearls themselves are chewy and have nice bite. Signature Fruit Tea: I like container for this drink. The large square shaped beverage uniquely shows all the layers of fruit and tea in a cup. The tea is well brewed and the fruit is refreshing. Overall, I would return to this shop if I was in the area but I most likely wouldn't go out of my way to this location if I had a huge boba tea craving. Would you go? Let me know. Follow me for all the Salt City sips and trips.

It's hot as hell cuz it's late August early September and those orange slices and Gatorade ain't cuttin it man I need some cold like ice cold. So I got a churro. I ain't ever seen one of these let alone had or tasted one but the homie said it was bomb so I said what the heck. I got one and it was bomb! I ain't gonna go into the specifics of what I was feeling cuz I copped two more, one for me and one for me later. But yeah that's what this place did to me. Transported me back in time. I love it! They got Nutella, strawberry, guava and some other flavors also with some ice cream if you're feeling dangerous. And I feel safe being dangerous here. If that makes sense Nice and warm also with the service too cuz if you'd like they can walk em up to your car window. Oh yeah and cuz it's a food truck but also like a drive thru slash car hop. It's dope. We've been going on Sunday's cuz we gotta keep it holy for the memory Peace!

    I wanted to try Dirty Dough because of the infamous Utah Cookie Wars (aka, Crumbl being a big old…read morebully to competitors) so I was excited to see this new location open. I stopped in to get a cookie, and I didn't love my experience. The store is bright and cheerful, but the two employees working the day I visited seemed confused and annoyed. They had zero customers, so it wasn't because it was particularly hectic. Eventually someone came over to help us, and I told them it was our first time ever at Dirty Dough. This got them really excited, and they hyped up how much I was going to love this cookie I was about to order. Looking online at the flavors of the week, I opted for the Cookies and Creme. She said "excellent choice," and went to take an already-baked cookie off of a tray (like a donut shop). I'm not sure if their cookies are supposed to be served warm, but mine wasn't, which was a bummer (especially considering that a single cookie is over $4). I was handed a bright blue box that reminded me of Tiffany's, but the jewel inside was a cookie not a diamond (which, let's be honest, is probably better)! Excited to try the cookie, I opened the box when I got in the car...and I was shocked at the mess that was inside. First, the cookie was really ugly. Like not appealing or pretty AT ALL. At first I thought they had give me the wrong cookie because it wasn't even close to looking like the one on their website. Instead of being fat and decorated beautifully, my cookie was a thin, ugly mess. It was broken and didn't even fit in the box. It looked like a child had decorated it. I guess to their credit, Dirty Dough embraces the ugliness of their cookies, but this cookie was super unphotogenic and falling apart -- I would be embarrassed to take these to a party or to the office or to serve to anybody else. Did it taste good? It was okay. The overall flavor was very sweet and the cookie tasted like it had some artificial flavorings in it. It didn't have that fresh butter and sugar flavor, but more of a fake sweetness that was off-putting. Look, this was a cookie and it tasted good, but it wasn't my favorite. I do think Dirty Dough needs to train their employees better, and at least TRY to make the cookies look at least mildly similar to the photos on the website. That would do a lot to avoid disappointment.

    The woman at the register was so friendly and helpful. It was my first time here. I asked her a…read morecouple of questions and she let me know which was her favorite. I opted for the four pack, but you can get single cookies, by the dozen, or how ever many your heart desires. Every cookie is stuffed. They were still nice and warm when I got home. By the time I finished dinner however, I only had room for one cookie. I halved it with my brother. It was The Reverse cookie. As described on their website: Fudge filling wrapped in a chocolate cookie then triple wrapped with a peanut butter cookie and topped with chocolate drizzle and crushed Reese's... ...Yessir...as good as the description... Half was all my tastebuds could handle too. Rich and decadent. You definitely did me "Dirty Dough" I'll be back furrr sure.

    Alicia's Bakery - Where Authentic Mexican Flavor Meets Utah Tradition…read more Alicia's Bakery has long been a local favorite, and for good reason. Having visited since their earlier location years ago, I've watched this bakery grow while never losing the heart of what makes it special -- truly authentic Mexican pastries made with care and flavor that stand above the rest. From their soft, sweet breads to their rich cakes and perfectly balanced pastries, every item reflects craftsmanship and tradition. Simply put, Alicia's Bakery delivers some of the best-tasting Mexican baked goods you'll find anywhere in Utah. I've visited many other Hispanic bakeries, yet few come close to matching their consistency, freshness, and depth of flavor. Because of its well-earned popularity, I recommend stopping by early in the morning to enjoy the best selection before it sells out. The only suggestion I'd make is for the new location to open the second register more often during busy hours -- it would make the customer experience even smoother. Overall, Alicia's Bakery continues to impress year after year. It's a warm, welcoming place that blends community, culture, and flavor into every bite. A must-visit for anyone seeking a true taste of Mexico right here in Utah. -SPANISH- Alicia's Bakery - Donde el Sabor Mexicano Auténtico se Encuentra con la Tradición de Utah Alicia's Bakery ha sido durante mucho tiempo una de las favoritas locales, y con razón. He sido cliente desde su antigua ubicación hace años, y he visto cómo esta panadería ha crecido sin perder la esencia de lo que la hace especial: pan dulce, pasteles y repostería mexicana auténtica, elaborados con cuidado y un sabor que sobresale del resto. Desde sus suaves y dulces panes hasta sus ricos pasteles y equilibrados postres, cada producto refleja dedicación, tradición y calidad artesanal. En pocas palabras, Alicia's Bakery ofrece algunos de los productos de panadería mexicana más deliciosos que se pueden encontrar en todo Utah. He visitado muchas otras panaderías hispanas, pero pocas igualan su consistencia, frescura y profundidad de sabor. Debido a su merecida popularidad, recomiendo pasar temprano por la mañana para disfrutar de la mejor selección antes de que se agote. La única sugerencia que haría es que en la nueva ubicación abran la segunda caja registradora con mayor frecuencia durante las horas de más afluencia, lo cual haría la experiencia del cliente aún más fluida. En general, Alicia's Bakery continúa impresionando año tras año. Es un lugar cálido y acogedor que combina comunidad, cultura y sabor en cada bocado. Una visita obligada para quienes buscan un auténtico sabor de México aquí mismo en Utah.

    Seeing as there is a different address here, I'm thinking the bakery just moved to the new building…read morethat was built. I came here for the first time a couple days ago, and feel this is one of, if not the best Mexican bakery in town! If you aren't familiar with "Panaderia's" let me help educate you quickly. It's VERY different than what we know as bakeries. Mexican sweets are very bread based and a lot less sweet than their US counterparts. This however in no way means they are any less good. For example, a simple Mexican donut with some chocolate frosting on top allows you to enjoy the experience of the delicious donut bread, rather than that flavor being covered up by glaze and overly sugary dough. I'd consider the donuts here to be some of the best in town We ended up getting a good amount of treats and I was kinda shocked when the cashier told me it was only $11. It was a great price for everything we got The new building is also really pretty and SUPER spacious. I'll definetly be coming back here soon

I was blown away by the large selection of flavors that you can order. Solid size options. Delivery or pickup. They need to thaw a bit in the refrigerator before you serve them. All of mine looked like the pictures on the website. I went to an event with my husband and we got a couple of Twisted Tiramisu samples and that's what turned me onto them. My husband tried the traditional and said it was yummy. He did not share. I chose guava+goat cheese I figured go for it. Honestly, to my surprise, it was delectable. I am picky about goat cheese. I was tempted to order it, but there are so many options. The birthday cake: Lady fingers soaked in vanilla bean infused milk and/or coffee, layered w/ mascarpone mixture whipped with vanilla and powdered sugar, topped with sprinkles. The limoncello: Ladyfingers soaked in vanilla bean infused milk, Layers of sweetened limoncello mascarpone with Lemon curd top. The dirty chai: Layers of Vanilla Bean Mascarpone and Salt City Espresso Vodka+Spice Chai soaked lady fingers. The birthday cake tasted like sweet vanilla. Decorated with sprinkles. Limoncello had a delicate creamy lemon flavor. The dirty chai had a nice warm spiciness with a sweet, silky texture. These would be great for any occasion and especially nice for people who don't like cake. Apparently some people don't like cake. I definitely plan on ordering again. I had a little pick up hiccup and it was corrected promptly and at that time I was informed that one of the selections that I had ordered was unfortunately not available. I wanted the Amour Spreads Persian Lime Curd. Hopefully it will be available in the future. Future goals!
