We had gotten matcha,brown sugar and the Oreo slush boba. The matcha wasn't bad. The matcha was perfectly blended and smooth (which I love because some places don't blend their matcha thoroughly) but its taste wasn't the best matcha we've had. The brown sugar wasn't bad either it tasted good but felt a little watered down. The Oreo slush boba was delicious and I have no comments saying otherwise. The service was excellent and the employees even helped us decide what to get. They were very helpful and kind and greeted us immediately. The ambiance was great and it was decorated with adorable signs, a beautiful whale mural, whale squishies, and lights. Many seating options and two kiosks to order as well. Overall, even though we weren't absolutely thrilled with our drinks there are many other options and we look forward to coming back soon to try something new.

Never in my life have I given a review to a restaurant before, but I just ordered Bora Bora…read moreSmoothie Cafe on UberEats and I am absolutely blown away. If you're reading this considering on going to Bora Bora Smoothie Cafe, this is your sign: GO!!! Milkshakes are probably my top 5 favorite foods, and this is the best milkshake I have ever experienced. I got the #5 Lotus Biscoff milkshake and the best way I can explain it is if you dreamed about the most perfect milkshake in the middle of the night, so perfect you realized you were dreaming because you know it is not humanly possible to create such perfection. The texture of this milkshake was seriously unbelievable. So smooth, so creamy, perfectly blended. 10/10. No notes. I also got the Bora Bora crepe and same thing, I am absolutely floored at the taste and quality of the food here. Especially ordering this on UberEats, I was expecting the food to be a little soggy or cold or the milkshake a little melted and weird since it had to travel, yet somehow, the food and the milkshake arrived at my front door as if it was just freshly made that minute. Seriously the most magical experience ever. I will be thinking of their food for the rest of my life. Their packaging too, I couldn't believe how fancy and high quality it was. The crepe came in this super cool triangle box that held it perfectly and kept it super fresh. The milkshake was sealed (like a boba drink) and placed in a cup carrier inside the bag. Utensils were provided even though I didn't ask for them. Just incredible. Thank you Bora Bora Smoothie Cafe. You are magical. God bless you.

I'm very happy to report that The Whale Tea isn't just good for a boba place in Connecticut -- it's good, period. The boba came fresh and warm, and had the right bouncy consistency. Both drinks we ordered were great. I loved the look of the Whale Crystal with the light blue color on top, and the combo of the coconut milk flavor with the texture of the drink was unique. The Oreo creme brulee tasted exactly how I hoped it would -- there was a crispy melted sugar layer on top and the drink itself had a nice thickness to it. I'm definitely coming back to this shop again! Misc notes: This place didn't ask our preferred ice and sugar levels, which I actually like because I get paranoid I'm picking the wrong amount. Most of the clientele were high school and college students, so prepare to feel old if you're in your mid-20s or above, lol. The inside and bathroom looked decent.

There's a few seated tables, the ambiance isn't too fancy, but does the job. Definitely coming back to treat ourselves another time!

Oh what a delicious dessert to end a birthday with! Totally satisfying!…read more We were initially looking for ice cream places but most were closed at 9pm, then we found this place.The ordering was quick but it took half an hour to prepare. Good break to take a short stroll outside while waiting. The store was full with many people waiting, mostly students. One Crêpe can be shared by two medium built people after dinner because it's very filling. The chocolate nut party was a party in my mouth- gelato was good, mouse truffles were great, nuts were sufficient and the Crêpe itself very fresh. The syrup on the gelato was avoidable. Pocky sticks are fun too. Definitely going to be back here to try the savory versions, and I wish they open a store near Hartford.

Here's an updated version with the details about the extensive menu:…read more I'm thrilled that Black Pearl has opened a location closer to home! My daughter has become a bubble tea fanatic, and we've always preferred Black Pearl's offerings. Previously, the closest location was at the South Norwalk mall, which wasn't always convenient. We had to settle for other bubble tea spots, but now we don't have to! This new spot, just minutes from home, is perfect, and I know we'll be visiting often. The store is beautifully clean with a minimalist design that's warm and inviting. Eric, the employee working during my visit, was so personable, kind, and helpful--especially since I didn't have my "bubble tea expert" (my daughter) with me to help pick out a drink! Their extensive menu is fantastic, offering not just tea-based drinks, but also fruit-based options, milk teas, coffee choices, and even frozen drinks, ensuring there's something for everyone. I was also impressed by the seating options: not only are there tables, but there are also stools and high-top tables, giving a nice variety. The South Norwalk location was a small kiosk, so having this spacious Trumbull spot is fantastic. A bonus: alongside their delicious and innovative drinks, they offer beautiful French macarons that pair perfectly with the beverages. I also love that they have a loyalty program--I know we'll be back regularly! Welcome to Trumbull, Black Pearl!

So I went in and ordered a sweet sunshine tea (which has Mangos and lychee mixed with jasmine green tea, with lychee jelly) and Amber Lake (Lychee and passionfruit mixed with black tea and ice, with lychee jelly). The tea bases in the drink were strong and present which is good. The boba was nice, chewy and fresh, even though it was the end of the day. The drinks weren't too sugary and there was a fresh balance between the tea and the fruit taste. All in all a pretty solid spot.
