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!

I've been seeing a lot of reviews of this new boba and bao buns space, and I'm glad to report that…read morethose reviews are true! 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.

I've been to almost every boba place in the KC area and Ari Delights will always come out on top…read more It's a super cute place and everyone who works there is wonderful and kind. Their prices are also a lot more reasonable compared to most boba shops in the area. Their milk tea is delicious and their blended drinks are so refreshing. I've tried everything on the menu and my favorites are: 1. Mint To Be -- a super tasty matcha milk tea with refreshing mint flavor. It's great with brown sugar boba. 2. Ari Godness -- a classic brown sugar boba milk (it doesn't have tea, so no caffeine) with delicious flan and boba. I love the textures of both toppings. 3. Peach On Da Beach -- amazingly rich and flavorful peach tea with peach chunks. So good on a hot day. 4. Frozen Sunrise -- refreshing sweet and tangy smoothie that goes really well with fruity popping boba. 5. I'm Panda Frappe -- incredible drink blended with oreo that is great for a chocolate craving. Brown sugar boba is good in this too, but not necessary. Honorable mentions are the Oh My Taro, Hokkaido milk tea, and Deep Blue Sea!! Seriously the best boba place around. I feel at home there!

Is it just me or is no one going to mention the giant excavator play area with sand and hand trucks…read morefor the kids? 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.

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.

We also enjoyed checking out their bubble waffles, ice cream, and other treats. If you're looking for a fun place to cool off this summer, grab a sweet treat, or try something a little outside your comfort zone, ChaTime is worth a visit. Great service, family-friendly, and a perfect stop for a summer break adventure with the kids!

I'm guessing this is meant to streamline the process so they can focus on making orders; however as each customer studies the menu.. you could be in line awhile. I was behind two separate groups and the wait to order as they paged through the kiosk choices was about 8 mins. I tried the Horlic latte with no bubble. Prior to a healthy stir it tasted delicious then upon stirring it became bland and not appealing. My sweetness was 75%

You could probably split one among 4 people. It's also a cute place to hang out, pretty pastel and wood cozy interior. I really liked the shaved ice cream! The texture was light and fluffy and while it reminds me of bingsoo, it's creamier because it's cream instead of milk I think? Overall it ended up being quite rich, especially with all the whipped cream, and the matcha flavor is a little too sweet. Next time I'll probably try a fruity flavor (and bring friends). I think this place is worth trying at least once! Really unique ice cream that I haven't seen or tried elsewhere.

How the HECK did Shaved Ice Cream escape my extremely powerful radar for all things-dessert??…read more Wow - this was such a fun experience, and a new (to me/us) take on an old dessert! Our family came here for a birthday celebration afternoon to enjoy some sweet treats! The attendant at the counter helped us with numerous questions ranging from "What IS shaved ice cream?" to best sellers, and how much to order! We settled on a couple shaved ice creams to share (although they have many other desserts and drinks, too!), which was more than enough for our family of four, and a great way to try a couple different options! They serve the shaved ice cream in a generous-sized metal bowl, on a large metal tray, and thank goodness for this, as things can get a little messy! We absolutely loved both of our selections - Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Oreo! They have plenty of seating in a super-cute setting! Up front are some comfy chairs around a coffee table, and the rest of the space is full of normal restaurant-style tables and chairs! While not exactly cheap, I would say that the pricing is fair, for a novel dessert experience! ...at least for the shaved ice cream.
