I also got passionfruit popping boba in the drink. The drink was a little too sweet for me, so I'd recommend having an option to adjust the sweetness on the menu. Otherwise it was a great experience! The owners were very nice and they even gave me a free drink that they had made in error. I'd recommend anyone in the area craving bubble tea to come here!

The staff here could not have been more friendly and welcoming…read more Their space is beautifully renovated with tons of natural lighting, clean black and white decor, and a variety of comfortable seating options. You place your order on a touch screen and everything is cashless except a cake they had on the counter for $5. My friend wanted to purchase the cake, but they didn't have the ability to ring her up for it with her card. Neither of us had cash on us and the sweet woman behind the counter gave my friend the cake and said, "stop by whenever you have the cash." She was so nice. I ordered the mango sticky rice because it sounded intriguing. I've never had it before and I didn't really know what to expect. The textures were good for me: chewy, some chunks of mango, saucy. I just thought whatever syrupy mango sauce/jam they put on top is way too sweet for my personal preference. I had a few bites and brought the rest home. I'll probably use the mango sticky rice as a plain greek yogurt topping.

Delicious! Came in not sure what to expect and got rolled ice cream. I took some video of the…read moregentleman making the second item and it was neat.

Fuku Tea is my absolute favorite boba spot ever! My first time trying boba was actually here when I…read morehelped move my sister into college. When I came to Pitt, it became routine that I grabbed a bubble tea once a week before class or as a treat on the weekends. I am always sure to stop in and grab my favorite drink if I am in the area. Not only are the workers super friendly, but the drinks are delicious and consistently good. I love the bright interior of the shop and that there is inside seating, so you can enjoy your drink inside (especially during the colder months in PA). My go-to order is a black iced tea lemonade with strawberry flavor and lychee popping boba, but there are so many flavor options that you can really mix it up based on your personal preference. Its location on Forbes Ave makes it fairly easy to get to, especially if you are a student living on Pitt's campus. Do yourself a favor and grab a bubble tea if you are ever in the area!

We stopped by yesterday around 6:30pm. There were only two other people in the shop besides the…read morestaff so we didn't have to wait to order. The inside is small with not a ton of seating so keep that in mind for big groups. There's a table for 8, four chairs next to the window with a narrow table, and a long bench to sit at. We ordered our boba and pearls were really soft and chewy. My friend's mango slushie was really refreshing and I liked my taro boba.

Craved boba in Pittsburgh and found this gem!…read more Tried their signature drinks: - Brown Sugar Milk Black Tea with Bubbles: Good, but not wow (4/5). Ordered 100% sugar, but still found it slightly less sweet than expected. Had better-tasting ones elsewhere. - Brown Sugar Milk Black Tea with Oreo, Milk Foam, and Bubbles: Sweetness just right for my kid - 5/5! Also, devoured two amazing macarons: - Blueberry Lavender - Rose Hands down, BEST MACARONS EVER! Unique, distinct flavors - a must-try! Note: Service was a bit slow due to the crowd (even on a weekday evening!), but it's clear this spot is popular! Ambiance was cute, but surprisingly, there were no chairs inside - unsure if dine-in is even an option. We opted for takeout, which worked out fine. Worth the wait!

No better feeling than sitting in a great cafe in the middle of the city. I think Bae Bae's cafe is…read moreone of the hidden gems of downtown Pittsburgh. I haven't been in a while so I had to drop in to get a taste of nostalgia. I'm a sucker for a good breakfast sandwich, and you get just that (and more) when you visit the cafe. Bae Bae's kitchen sister store offers delectable sandwiches, teas, and of course smoothies. Staff is all around pleasant to talk to which matches the laid back vibes here. Always pleased to start my day here.

Lots to like about this place. The decor gives coffeeshop vibes (e.g. the pictures and…read morebookshelves). The item I ordered was the beef bulgogi kimbap burrito, which they got the flavor down pat. The burrito wrapping was actually seaweed which was a cool little twist (but that's how kimbap is prepared, with other rice and vegetables rolled in it). Portion size was a tad small but the quality made up for it. The cold brew iced coffee was alright, just a little on the lighter side and would have preferred darker and morw bold. As for service, they don't hand you a menu, but direct you to scan the QR code (you can order through there as well, which I did, but you can give to the staff too). If you like Korean food / smoothies / Boba tea etc this little gem is worth a visit.

While not usually the case from other locations, I will say the tapioca pearls were a pit undercooked/tough rather than bouncy and soft/chewy, though it shows how great the milk tea was since I still thoroughly enjoyed my drink.

Menu offerings were so vast, it took me a while to read through everything because it all sounded so good! They have a couple of rotating specials and different grades of matcha depending on caffeine levels and a weekly rotation of their soft serve. In addition to matcha lattes, they have shaved ice, soft serve floats, espresso + matcha combos, refreshers, and combos I never thought of but wanted to try. I love a yuzu drink so I tried their yuzu cool, a yuzu blended ice drink topped with their grade 1 matcha. It was amazing. The matcha quality was fantastic and you could really taste the difference. My friend tried one of spring menu offerings, a peach based latte and loved it. There's very limited seating inside so be aware. Street parking outside. I can't wait to return!!

The black sesame flavor was strong and present, but I think the ube flavor was lacking. The earl gray ice cream has a very strong floral aftertaste. Earl gray has that tea taste usually, but it was very overpowering. The jade fog latte was good as a matcha with a lavender cold form but for $8 as a matcha with cold foam is steep. There's only about 5 tables in the store, but sometimes some ppl come here to study. Street parking is free nearby.

The ramen portion was generous and it was delicious. I got the jasmine milk bubble tea and it was also delicious. The boba was fresh (not soggy or sticky), which was great.

We walked there but parking seemed available here and there on the street. Apparently they are a small chain and we were excited to try them out! Very busy even on a regular Monday morning. We got seated right away and overall it's a great and reliable breakfast place where you get good service and your coffee cup is always full. My friend had the bananas Foster waffles which he said were pretty darn good! I can't really eat sweet things like that in the morning but I had one quick taste in a definitely have that good bananas Foster taste you would get in New Orleans. I had The Benny which was amazing and full of flavor! Definitely a good way to start the day with a good protein laden breakfast with tons of flavor.

Told the young lady ok, I will call right back because we have a nut allergy here with the ordering party. She said "no problem, just call us back." I called back like 10 times with no answer. I assumed they took the phone off the hook because once I arrived I was told my order, to go will take 45 minutes and the phone didn't ring once. I never had a problem here since I've been coming here since the opening. Food is always good and the service is great also. But today, I was disappointed with how this was handled.
