Staff are friendly and they made my drink in like 15 seconds. The shop is cute as well, decorated in pastels and with a couple small chairs and tables to sit at, though I don't think I've ever seen anyone sitting inside.

Honeyboba is SO FREAKING GOOD. Definitely in my top 3 of places we visit most often. Why? The…read moreselection is outrageous - probably 10 menu boards of different drink options, anything from pimped-out lemonades to crazy matcha drinks, iced coffee and Thai milk teas, not to mention the plethora of real fruit teas, smoothies, and other delights. Plenty of toppings, like popping boba, jelly, and egg pudding. The ingredients they use are actually quality items - fresh fruit, thai brewed tea, real avocado, etc. It's hard enough to find a boba spot with all of that goodness, but what sends HoneyBoba over the top is the snacks! There's a hot case that is almost always stocked with tasty goodies like custard buns, dumplings, and spring rolls. There are freshly baked treats like loaded cookies and fun takes on rice krispie treats. And something we never tried but looks so good is their bubble waffles - yum! The drink menu usually stays the same (or expands!), but the snacks will rotate, depending on what the owner dreams up and churns out. It's worth it to follow them on Instagram for a preview of what is currently available. Parking is weird but you can usually score a spot either on the street right in front of the shop or in the little parking lot right behind the building. Stop in and give it a try! It's your new favorite boba spot!

STOP scrolling -- if you love boba, you need to know about this place…read more The second you walk in, you're hit with the incredible smell of fresh, homemade food being cooked right in front of you... it's unreal. And when you actually see the display? Rows of warm, freshly made buns, dumplings, and pastries -- from sweet coconut and taro buns to savory pork baos, curry buns, and more -- all made with care and ready to grab. It makes you want to try everything.

And it's not just drinks -- they also have amazing treats like boba waffles and so many unique, delicious foods that you won't find just anywhere. The vibe? Warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy. The owner and staff are so kind and make you feel like you actually matter, not just another customer. There are games for both kids and adults, plus the cutest photo spot that makes you want to stay and enjoy the moment. This isn't just a quick boba stop -- it's an experience. A place built on tradition, flavor, and heart. Do yourself a favor and go. Once you come here, everywhere else just feels... average.

OMG hands down the best banh mi! Wish I lived closer so I come more often during the week. We drive…read moreabout 45 mins one way for this. The cold cut special banh mi is out of this world. The amount of meat you get really makes the banh mi taste so yummy. Sooo worth the money. I crave this all the time. The pho was okay in my opinion but WOOW their banh mi is the star. Fresh veggies. Pho had a great amount of noodles as well. Service was great, provided recommendations. There's a few real authentic vietnamese dish here. I felt soo happy seeing them on the menu. The entire room was busy, all the tables were in use. Glad they're getting business.

They rearranged the configuration to make space for more tables, and an easier to access bathroom. They also streamlined the menu. They no longer have the wall of coolers with alcoholic beverages (like canned cocktails, beer, and wine). They do have one cooler with a variety of soft drinks. They do still sell some bottled and canned alcoholic beverages, but a very limited variety. They also no longer have the shelves of packaged food for sale. They now have one tiny shelf with a limited variety of dry ramen. The new layout makes it feel much more like a take out sub shop style venue. I tried the pho, which was my first time...I usually get a banh mi...and they had an unusual option...Pho with ramen noddles instead of the traditional rice noodles. It was delicious! The broth was flavorful, the meat, herbs and bean sprouts were fresh, and the ramen noodles were great in Pho! It was also my first time eating in, and it was actually pretty nice...I was the first one seated at a table, but by the time I finished there were 3 other parties seated at tables, or the high stools along the window counter. Good lunch spot.

I was so happy to see a new boba shop debut in the West End! I stopped in just a week after their…read moreopening. The interior is spacious, with a couch and table for seating and a surprising number of action figures in the decor (good for kids, perhaps?). My main struggle was deciding what to order from the menu -- I wanted to try everything on it. This place is serious about their tea: they have jasmine green, roasted oolong, lotus winter melon, even wuyi mountain black tea (!). They also have cheese foam toppings (if you know, you know), fruit teas, various milks... it's a wonderland for true boba enthusiasts. I ended up opting for a large osmanthus milk tea. The tea was phenomenal: well brewed and not too sweet, which is always a hard balance to achieve. The boba could have been a bit softer/chewier, but it was still overall a delicious drink. The service was quick, and they also have several snacks (including egg tarts!) that you can purchase. I can't wait to be back soon to try more of their teas and some of their food offerings as well.

There aren't a lot of places around here to get fruity bursting boba, so my kids were extremely…read moreexcited to try it out. We were hungry so we planned to get some of the meals and add on the bobas as our drink. Unfortunately, you can only get soda or a specific list of other drinks (for an additional charge) when you get a meal deal. The speciality bobas are separate purchases. When you walk in and see all the different menus and choices, it can be a bit overwhelming. I highly recommend taking a peek at the online information ahead of time. My kids enjoyed the oreo slushy and fruity flurry. We'd go back to try more of the drinks. I got a tenders meal with mac n cheese. The chicken was mediocre and the mac n cheese was covered with bread crumbs straight outta the can. I'd prefer not to have any of those on there had I been given a choice. Without the crumbs actually being baked into the dish, they really didn't add anything besides a strange texture with every bite. My daughter got a chicken sandwich with curly fries. Not bad, but nothing we are craving to go back to again. If we return, we will likely just stick with the drinks.

There were some spots to sit in at the store too. We ordered a thai tea, milk tea and mango slush. They had the first two in shaken style meaning small bits of ice. The barista took some time to make the drinks, seemed not so proficient in making them. But the drinks turned out okay. The that tea had good flavor. Mango slush was tasty initially but got really watery at the end. Bobas were fine, not as good quality as I had in other places. Overall a decent place since its the only bobas store we saw in the area.
