The tea itself is consistently fresh, and you can really taste the quality in their milk teas. The brown sugar boba is especially good -- perfectly chewy with just the right amount of sweetness. The menu has a nice variety of flavors, from classic taro and matcha to fruit-based teas, so there's something for everyone. I also appreciate that you can customize sweetness and ice levels to get it just how you like it. The shop has a cute, cozy vibe that makes it a great place to hang out or catch up with friends. Service has always been friendly and fairly quick, even when it's busy. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is that wait times can get a little long during peak hours, and seating can be limited. Still, it's absolutely worth the stop if you're craving quality boba in the area. I'll definitely keep coming back!

Chewy and sweet boba, good tea flavor. Husband got mango black tea with boba and liked his drink! Inside is small but cute with tables for sitting/hanging out.

They had so many great varieties for tea, slushies, etc and the women working were helpful to walk us through everything. The tea is very sweet but we all enjoyed it after we let it warm a little as this shop puts a ton of ice in the drinks. I would definitely go again though ask for light ice, 50% sweet as a great starting point.

We loved the mushroom soup and salad! The sushi we tried were the Spicy Tuna, Jalapeño Yellow Tail, Salmon Sushi and a California Roll. The Jalepeno Yellow Tail would not be my choice to order again, the other sushi was delicious. The best part of our experience and earning 5 stars for the restaurant, was our server.

The employees were friendly and helpful as I ordered my latte and a croissant. I was pretty sure I ordered it iced, but it came out hot. (Not a big deal.) The latte was okay, I'm not sure what kind of oat milk they use but I think it wasn't my favorite. The spinach and feta croissant was flaky and tasty but I wish they had a way to warm it up (or maybe they do and I should have asked). The vibe inside for to-go orders is bright and cheery, once you go down to the main seating level it's a bit dark and cozy. The wifi was fast and reliable, and there is a decent amount of seating for the space. Metered street parking is available on the surrounding streets. It's not my go-to spot, but if you're downtown and need a caffeine pick me up, stop in!
