    I like it! Another! (I hope someone gets the reference lol) I got the Taro milk tea with Almond milk and it was good. The worker was really sweet and answered my questions about non dairy options, never seemed annoyed, always polite. I also got the chicken potstickers. It was good as well

    Inside with 1/2 of the store closed off and the manager unplugged the machines.

    Saturday, June 6, 2026 at 8:27PM The manager; I assume, and one of the other two employees had so much attitude like we walked in 10 minutes to closing, after a kid verbally announced she wanted to try the machines the manager legitimately walked in front of her and set up the rope you see stating "we are closing soon" the posted close time is 10:00 PM. The mom had to ask for the ok to let her kid use the machine and I watched him roll his eyes at her as she walked away. The boba was great and the one girl was nice but the attitude and atmosphere was terrible. Photo of the rope he put up and the tables they picked up, machine unplugged again at 8:27pm ..

    Got some delicious boba tea while out shopping. So good with the perfect amount of sweetness and the boba wasn't too chewy. Finished it way too fast

    Quality/Quantity - The Chai Horchata sample was the best my daughter has ever had. But it would probably be too sweet for an authentic Horchata drinker. She and our guest also really liked the drink they got. Atmosphere - Cool decor, see pictures. I think I am missing quite a few pictures, sorry. Even the tables are painted. Open 7 days a week from noon to 9pm or 10pm. Plenty of mall parking. Service - Good, counter service. Price - $14. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since mid 2022.

    3.5/5 Decent bubble tea and food. It's nothing out of the ordinary but it's convenient since it's in Tempe Marketplace. Many drinks here are not customizable for sweetness and the pho combo has some limitations on what drink you can order with it. I ended up with the beef and meatball pho combo with the tropical lime drink. You can order either at the kiosk or at the counter. Since it was our first time and I had a few questions about the menu we ordered at the counter. When we were here they seemed shortstaffed which led to some long lines at the counter. The pho was alright. It was a good sized amount of broth with rice noodles, scallions, two meatball halves and some slices of beef. Fresh Thai basil and other accountrements were offered to the side. The tropical lime was tangy and refreshing. The sweetness level is fixed for this drink but it wasn't too sweet for me. I liked the bits of fruit in the drink too. Since it was our first time we had a few questions about the different drinks and what was included in some of the combos. The cashier was good at answering our questions.

    Super cute place! Selfie station too, but you'll have to wait at least 10 minutes to get a drink. There were only a handful of people in the store and there were three workers we saw, not sure what was taking so long ( maybe they were restocking?) one customer walked out, guess she decided she didn't want to wait? They have food and nice tables to sit at - we got a brown sugar boba. I noticed there was some rewards club, but the employee taking our order didn't mention anything and I didn't ask. After waiting 10 minutes or longer, we got the drink - The boba was served in a cute cup, but BOYYYYYY WAS IT SAWWWWEEET!!! Wowza! Sugar!!! And the boba were so little and tasted like they'd been in their liquid for quite some time! Very small and easily disintegrated. Nice to try something new, but we'll try the yogurt shop next store, next time.

    Quick and friendly service. Good options to offer, should have gotten the spicy but I was sharing so I had to keep it sweet. I'll be back

    This place is fun! Lots of bright, colorful decor and seating. I ordered the pumpkin latte milk tea with boba and asked for 50% sweet. When I tried it, I was surprised at how sweet it still was, and even asked to make sure they had actually done 50% (they said they did). I also ordered the mega combo which came with fries, 3 egg rolls and 3 fish cakes. The food did take close to 20+ minutes to prepare, but everything was hot and fresh with spicy mayo drizzled on top. I didn't really care for the fries, but the other items were tasty.

    Oh gross! This place is infested with bugs! Took my friend from out of town here and we sat by the table by the boba workers. We saw a small cockroach crawl by. Looked around and looked into the kitchen and there was so many dead bugs and little bugs crawling around. Disgusting! One of the workers I think saw us looking and he started sweeping. Sweeping up the bugs and such. Definitely gross and definitely would never come back. Beware. There is a nasty roach bug infestation here!!!! I would be afraid to eat the food here.

    Unfortunately, I don't recommend getting the grass jelly topping here. The kind they use isn't soft enough to sip through the straw, so it ends up getting left for the end. Service was just okay - got my order wrong and had to redo it. Waited 10min for 2 egg rolls. On the upside, their jasmine milk tea is really yummy, and they had fun flavor options and snacks to try.

    I was very careful to order my Boba tea. I wanted a clear jasmine tea with brown sugar, Boba and a cream top and I made sure to say this like five different ways, but I still ended up with the jasmine milk tea. He was not listening to me and he wrote it down wrong. Now I did not ask him to remake it and I did not let management know but The next time I will make sure it's even more clear and I will show him a picture. My son's drink was very good but very sweet. Otherwise, service was great.

    Some drinks.

    Iris T., you make me feel boba-ly! When a Yelper from Honolulu is paying your state a visit, you gotta get boba! I was really torn between choosing a tried-and-true place or a new place where we can experience it together. The new place won. I ordered a peach oolong tea at 50% sweetness, and while a little too sweet for my taste, it wasn't bad. Boba Toko is a great place to grab a drink while shopping at Tempe Marketplace. I don't think I would go out of my way to visit this boba spot, but I wouldn't hesitate to grab a drink if I was waiting for a table at Gen or something.

    Super excited to try out this boba place in Tempe! Super cute spot, the atmosphere was up beat and service was good! We ordered a free different drinks: Taro milk tea By the bay Strawberry milk Pink dream. I got the Taro and was honestly disappointed, the taste was not great extremely sweet and left a bad after taste, and the boba balls were super small! But all the other drinks were enjoyable and delicious! The fruit in the " by the bay" was great the watermelon chunks still had the nice crunch and sweetness to them! We liked that alot!!

    Sometimes I think the Yelp app is messing with my mind lol…read more I could have sworn that I already had left a 5 star review for Crafti Tea & Mocktail, years ago. Well, it's not there so I'll just have to give them 5 stars again :) This is my favorite tea cafe in the valley. The vibe is very much Lofi Girl, iykyk. Super chill and a bright, open space to enjoy some delicious drinks. The staff here are friendly and welcoming. When I come here I usually get iced fruit tea, milk tea, or matcha. They have unique and well flavored drinks. On my most recent trip I ordered from the current seasonal menu. They also have fruit teas, hojicha tea, and espresso drinks. It can be helpful to check their website and see the pictures and descriptions if you're trying to decide what to choose. I had the iced jasmine matcha with oat milk and Mont Blanc foam. This is the best flavored matcha drink I've had compared to matcha drinks I've had in Japan. I watched her hand whisk the ceremonial grade powder, making it well blended and smooth. The delicate jasmine sweetness and the very citrus forward Mont Blanc foam really paired well together. The jasmine version doesn't come with that foam so I paid extra to add it, but well worth it. So delicious! In the past I used to get the earl grey milk tea and strawberry lemon green tea. I'll definitely be back, continuing to try out other drinks. I've liked everything so far from Crafti, and that's saying a lot because many boba or tea places are just too syrupy sweet for me, here it's nice flavors and sweetness.

    With so many choices, how do you decide on which boba place to go to? Well, this one in particular…read moreis a great choice if you like your drinks more milky than tea in taste. They are reasonably priced although I felt like the price difference for the matcha Thai vs Thai milk tea wasn't worth it. The matcha itself did taste good though and I'd love to come back and try their Pandan Matcha. Their boba is consistently chewy and yummy. Drinks are consistent in quality with variety. We showed up late and the person who served us was very kind, patient, and welcoming despite it being close to closing. We were apologetic and grateful. (Thank you to her!). Otherwise, beware of limited parking like everywhere else in Mesa. This location also has an added bonus in that it's open later than a lot of other boba places so you can still fit in that boba run after dinner! We were also impressed that they have options for a 32 ounce so you can REALLY get your cravings satisfied! Overall, a really solid option.

I was in the mood for snacking and therefore, looking for a boba spot with more than popcorn chicken. Their seasonal hot honey fries caught my eye as I was scrolling through recent menu photos and in we went. They were out of the calamari, and the staff was friendly in cautioning us that the snacks may take a while since there's one fryer and luckily, we weren't in a hurry. We ending up ordering the following: - Jasmine Milk Tea with aloe vera - was quite disappointed to have the aloe vera super mushy. I would have switched it out if I had tried it in stores before leaving. - Fried Shrimp - this was pretty salty to the point I could barely finish these - Hot Honey Fries - seasoning was superb and would come back alone for this! - Popcorn chicken - okay, not much breading to it and therefore, not too crispy, but the sauces helped There is a smile/satisfaction guarantee, and perhaps we should've tried everything before leaving, but that's moreso on us wanting to go home. Unfortunately, phone did not eat first so not much photos taken.

I prefer less sugar generally (25% at most other places), but you can safely get 100% sugar level here without feeling like your drink is overly sweet. If you opt for less sugar, staff may warn you that it won't be sweet at all unless you get the pearls, which are sweetened by default. If you dined at Mensho Ramen next door, you can get a discount on your drink order at Xing Fu Tang if you show them your receipt. The shaved ice is delicious with the ice being made from frozen sweetened milk rather than only water. An order is huge and you can easily share with 4 people for dessert. The largest tables inside can comfortably accommodate a group of 4. You can easily pull extra chairs over if your group is bit larger. Service is curt, but they're not intentionally mean. There was a mistake one time with my order, so they made my correct drink asap and free of charge.
