So delicious. One thing I liked is you can choose the level of sweet you want your drink to be. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors as well as food! Cafe was very cute and clean.

I recently checked out Tsaocaa with a friend and it did not disappoint! The drinks were great- she…read moregot one of their boba drinks, and I got a strawberry tea slush with 50% sugar upon request. She also got the chocolate Hong Kong waffle with ice cream and enjoyed it. I would have liked to try some of their food, but wasn't able to during this visit (through no fault of Tsaocaa). The plushies and other merch they had was very cute and I'll very likely buy something the next time I visit. The decor was also lovely, with some very happy plants in the windows. The staff were also friendly and gave me no reason to doubt their skills. My only complaint is that the seating was just shy of being comfortable. My friend said the bench seating was a bit hard, and while the chair I sat in was soft, the arm rests made it a little too narrow for me (I'm plus size and have chronic pain, so finding truly comfortable seating can be a challenge at most places. As a note, anyone larger than a women's 3X probably wouldn't be able to comfortably sit in the chairs at all and would need to sit on the bench). Overall it was a pleasant experience, and I plan to go again!

Was a bit underwhelmed by this joint. I tried the Jasmine Milk Tea, the Oolong Milk Tea, and a…read morefruit slush, and all the details were a little bit off--the taiyaki and the tea were both too sweet even though I asked for 50% sugar, the boba wasn't bouncy and chewy, and the tea was watery. I was super excited to see taiyaki (fish-shaped pastry) in KC, but it came out greasy inside and out, even though I didn't know taiyaki could even turn out greasy, and the whole experience ran up a much higher bill than most boba joints. All things considered, not worth it. Definitely go check out other local places like Gocha, Ding Tea, and Takao Tea! For Asian desserts, I love Hamu Bakery (formerly Beyond Bread) and Leafy Dessert Cafe.

I got a milk tea with boba and the custard bao buns (they were too cute to resist!). Really liked how you can customize your drink by choosing ice and sweetness levels. The custard buns were warm, the custard wasn't overly sweet, and overall had a nice balance. Definitely planning to return soon to try the pork bao. When I went it was a single person working, he was really nice, but it can be a little wait if there is a crowd.

It takes up most of the store and is easily bigger than the back counter area. Seemed a little out of place, but who am I to judge, i'm more mentioning it as it almost gave me pause. Wanting an after dinner treat I walked the few miles here and sitting in a strip mall I was expecting more cafe vibes rather than chuck e cheese. Granted there weren't any kids here, the rest of the decor was pretty appropriate to a boba cafe. Menu was large, clear. Prices were affordable (aside from the disproportionately high tax rate). Service was friendly and quick. Serving sizes were large, weren't overloaded with ice and foams. I was hoping to get offerings on sweetness levels as Boba places are notoriously sweet or even caffeine offering levels. I was hoping for the hokaido sugar milk tea, but went with the milk tea with the flan and boba which was a nice change of getting just boba added. I'll definitely be returning as it's the only boba place in walking distance.

​I absolutely loved this place! I went on a whim to try it out spontaneously, and it turned out to…read morebe such a fun and exciting dining experience. The whole concept is great, and the sushi was incredibly fresh. ​The Full Experience: It's a very interactive setup where the sushi chefs are in the center making the rolls right in front of you and placing them directly onto the revolving belt. The servers were fantastic--they explained the whole process and let me know I could order anything directly with the chefs or request specific items from the kitchen if I didn't see them on the belt. ​The Pricing: Each plate is priced differently depending on the item, which makes it easy to track: * ​Blue Plates: $3.50 * ​Yellow Plates: $3.75 * ​Purple Plates: $4.75 ​ Pro tip: Order specific dishes (like the Calamari or certain sushi rolls) to be placed on the "sushi belt." This way, you don't have to pay for a full-sized entrée if you only want a smaller portion. The plates usually come with 2-3 pieces, which is perfect for sampling! ​The Food: Everything I tried was amazing, but my top favorites were the Baked Mussels, Calamari, and the Eel Roll. One thing to keep in mind: I made the mistake of ordering a roll directly with the sushi chefs, but forgot to specify that I wanted it for the sushi belt/small plate. Because of that, they made me a full order of the Eel Roll (6 pieces). It was delicious, but definitely more than the small 2-3 piece portion I was expecting! I tried several other plates as well (check out my photos!) and loved every single one of them. ​Verdict: This is a perfect spot for a solo lunch or a night out with a group. I will definitely be coming back with friends next time!
