The customer service were excellent!! They let us sample the honey boba and the golden boba since I could not decide which one I would like more. The golden was chewy and the honey boba was sweeter to me so I ended up with the golden boba. Taro was fresh and the taro tofu pudding was my favorite! The milk teas were good but lighter on the tea taste. It was in a busy area so we got dropped off and picked up for easy convenience. Small seating area to wait for drinks. Would recommend this place!

The fresh milk tea (made with milk instead of the typical non-dairy creamer) was very off--imagine mixing milk into watery tea. I was about to give up on them, until lo and behold, I gave them one last try: 50% sweetness, less ice, black milk tea with boba. It was absolutely lovely. The oolong is amazing too, more mild and light than the black tea. Green tea feels just in between. Great space to study too, and bathrooms are clean and well-kept.

It doesn't serve anything mind-blowing in terms of milk tea, but it compensates with an aesthetically pleasing interior and spacious seating. Each table has a wall outlet nearby. Noise levels usually feel light despite customers occupying most tables (if not all). I usually order either their classic, honey, or taro milk tea. 50% sugar tastes quite bland for me even though I usually prefer my milk tea only lightly sweetened. The boba texture feels just a tad tough which I personally liked. With fair prices and only light competition nearby, their drinks get the job done adequately.

Time to Order: Varies - the Taro Milk Tea came out very quickly (few minutes) but the honey lavender tea drink took longer (I watched them brew it fresh). I ordered a Taro Milk Tea at 25% sweetness with tapioca. Hit the spot, good taro flavor, and the tapioca texture was great. I would say by personal preference that it was a tad starchy and I don't like crushed ice as much because it starts getting sucked up with the boba, but it was still a good milk tea at very reasonable price. I tried my partner's honey lavender tea (beautifully presented) at 25% sweetness and it also, surprisingly, wasn't sweet for a honey drink! The lavender is real, not a syrup, and the only sweetness comes from the honey. I'd definitely come back for their lunch deal ($10 for a banh mi, milk tea, and chips). It's awesome that they're an option in the area for so many kids oriented activities.

Taro Milk Tea (25% Sweetness) - Love the mellow, non-artificial flavors here. My BF wasn't a huge fan because the taro lacked a depth he couldn't really define, but I personally enjoyed the drink's gentle starchiness. Honey Lavender Tea (25% Sweetness) - Exceptional drink color! My BF was surprised that it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet, and it was exactly the sweetness level I prefer. The lavender hit was sooo good--much better than any Starbucks refresher I've had. Heard they used genuine lavender seeds for this drink! My BF actually saw the worker press the lavender. Easily one of the most pleasant lavender flavors I've had. Peachy Peach Tea - Loved this. It was regular sweetness, but it wasn't diabetes-inducing, so I felt blessed. The peach syrup was much stronger than the first two drinks, so I assumed the sweetness was already integrated into the syrup. Overall, their drink flavor profiles have been on point. Splitting hairs here, but my BF didn't like the crushed ice because it traveled up the straw with the drink, while I personally liked it for that exact reason. Hazelnut-filled Croissant - They heated it for me like Starbucks! Shared it with my Yelp friend Paul because my BF has a nut allergy. I enjoyed the flavor, though the texture was a little stiff from sitting out. The design is genuinely so cute, and the filling is clearly some form of Nutella. I'd never had a croissant in this style before, so it was a fun try. But it's SO SWEET!

Staff was nice and greeted everyone who came in and were patient with ordering. I got an almond milk tea at 25% sweet and it came out quite a bit sweeter than I expected. My partner got a passionfruit tea with boba at 50% sweet and it was very subtley sweet. It seems there's a bit of inconsistency with their sweetness levels. The boba was also very flavorless but texturely fine? Compared to some of the other Teahouses, I think the sweetness levels are definitely inconsistent. However, staff was nice and it could be a good study/work spot for those in the area.

It is really hot too so be careful because I almost burned my mouth. I heard they have a combo where you can get the chicken and a drink and I wish I knew that before ordering

There's not a ton of boba competition in the West U area, but this spot is definitely top tier. Bonus: they offer rose tea, which is surprisingly hard to find outside of Chinatown. Definitely a go-to for quality boba!

Is there a higher purpose? And this is precisely when a man crumbles. Grows out his beard. Quits his job. Rebrands himself. Starts consuming yuppie beverages. East-West has not yet reached that point yet, and I so dearly wish it would. I dearly wish it would stop serving us bland boba. Not because it makes a huge difference, but because the little things are the only difference. I wish their tea were more fragrant - whether that is an issue with their tea leaf quality or their steeping process. I wish they used fresh milk instead of creamer. Brown sugar instead of simple syrup. And I wish they were more willing to take that risk - to dare to be great. But for now, we'll quietly sip along to the tune of simple boba. And unlike the managers of East-West, we'll be wondering, "What else is there?"

The drinks were my least favorite part of the meal, but they were okay overall. The store itself is quite small and more of a pop up if anything. There are no places to sit down on the inside, so we picked our food up and left. The service is great, thought and the cashier was very nice.

The answer: very. Two hands is a small shop, that consists of some merchandise and a counter. The interior is bright and clean, and the service is generally friendly and quick.
