I find that my drink is always good when the owner is working and she's friendly. Then other times when the owner isn't there, it seems like the workers don't want to be there and my drink comes out incorrect and then it's awkward to ask for them to fix it. Aside from inconsistency, I like how they have stamp cards so you get a free drink after 10 I believe. After 10-20 visits, I gathered getting their drinks less sweet is best. Their jasmine tea is perfect and refreshing if you like jasmine green tea. Their Thai tea lacks flavors and I think needs to be seeped longer.

First time visiting this location.

Thankfully, I had the menu on my phone, which made ordering possible. The young lady who took our order was kind and pleasant, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the drinks themselves were very underwhelming. There was little to no flavor--honestly, if I were blindfolded, I wouldn't have been able to tell what I was drinking. I've had much better boba elsewhere, but at least I gave this place a try.

There is barely any seating and I almost missed the place coming in as it almost looks completely shut down. The menu is also simple in terms of what to order. Doesn't have to be more items just more flavors of drinks possibly? The restaurant wasn't very appealing.

They were kind enough to split the ramen for us! Service was spot on for our entire group. Food was pretty decent, which was a pleasant surprise! I only wished the temperature of the ramen was hot! It was a room temperature broth and really did bring the quality down. Otherwise, portions and taste was pretty good. Come try this spot for casual lunch or dinner options!

Oh man, those egg rolls and the sauce were on point. My son got a mojito sake and we had Jasmine tea. Dylan let us know that they were tea bags, which we appreciated. The mango madness roll and the Hokkaido roll were both pretty fabulous. We very much enjoyed our lunch and our service was exceptional. I have to wonder why they only have a 4 star rating. Perhaps they had to work the "new restaurant" kinks out. Definitely give them a try.

The drinks took about 15 minutes to come out, which is perfectly okay, because they actually brew the tea instead of using a pre-made powder mix like most boba shops.

The space itself is definitely on the smaller side with only a few tables, but the ambiance is thoughtfully designed in a way that somehow makes the whole place feel cheerful, cozy, and welcoming instead of cramped. I ordered what I believe was a taro milk tea with almond milk and extra boba, lightly sweetened. The drink came out smooth, creamy, and balanced without becoming overly sugary. The boba had the right texture too - soft and chewy without turning mushy. You can tell they actually care about the drinks instead of just assembling them as fast as possible. The cashier was genuinely funny and friendly, which honestly adds more to a quick stop like this than people realize. Service was fast, parking was easy, and the menu had plenty of options without feeling overwhelming. This isn't really a "hang out for 4 hours and study" kind of boba place because the seating is limited, but for a quick stop, grab-and-go drink, or casual catch-up, it works really well. The surrounding area is still developing so there aren't crazy views or anything, but during sunrise or sunset the light coming through the windows actually gives the place a pretty nice vibe. Small shop, good energy, solid drinks, easy parking. I'll definitely be back.

He always enjoys the cookies and cream with boba, and I've tried the taro milk tea with boba, and the taro coconut milk tea with boba. The recommended 75% sugar is perfect not intensely sweet but not too plain. We are always impressed with the speed of service as it's usually only one person working. My son always says, "I'm still amazed how one man can be faster than 5 at that other place we've been to." We usually pick up to go but have enjoyed our drinks there as well. The place is so nice and picture friendly with boba themed signs on each wall. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

It's a cute location. There's plenty of parking outside. There's a good mount of seating available inside too. They have a bunch of options from milk tea to smoothies.
