    Really nice little local place with quite a few options! I do wish they had non-dairy milk options and protein powered additives for the smoothies. That would make it perfect ! Otherwise we enjoyed our experience

    Taro milk tea with custard pudding and boba
    Scott M.

    I'm a little bit split on this place. I believe it's the only boba place in the area. When we went in, there was no music playing and they had 3 huge TVs that weren't turned on. I honestly thought they were closed. They have signs of many different drink options all over the place. Too many options. Or maybe just a lack of a centralized menu confused us. There was only one person working so the service was SLOW. Not her fault I guess. Maybe someone called in sick. Anyways, the drinks are what matters and I thought mine was really good. I got a taro milk tea with custard pudding and boba. My significant other got a coconut spiral. He didn't really like it but I appreciated how unique it was. Rather expensive; but, like I said, it's the only option in town so they really are able to dictate their own prices.

    Not sure what kind of milk tea it is because there is definitely not any tea in here at all- looks like just milk AND it was $7? Very disappointed with this place. Will not be back. DO BETTER. Price gouging for sure

    Our group was traveling thru town and we couldn't believe there's a boba spot here! Our expectations weren't high about this spot, especially being from California but wow, all of us were mind blown by how good this place is! We tried smoothies along with a few other milk teas and they were all super spot on! We asked for a less sweetened teas and it was spectacular and The boba was soft and perfect! Owner is super friendly and very welcoming, we even visit the spot on the way home from our trip! Awesome spot, highly recommend

    Lotus flower bomb fire flies in the sky, take me higher!!!-Wale. This little shop will take you flying on a trip of flavor, some unique some familiar in the little town of Alamogordo. Parking: Tons of parking. It shares a lot with a subway and on the side there is additional side parking. Ambiance: super clean little Boba shop with little bits of Asian decoration. Little lanterns greet you and they also have some games you can play while you sip on your drinks. They play some music in the background some oldie r&b and local taste. It's not the fanciest compared to west coast Boba places. But this place is fancy for Alamogordo. Great little shop with a relaxed atmosphere. Service- Awesome service! The guy who took my order was able to special order my drink. You can request different levels of sweetness to tone down or amp up your drink. Super knowledgeable of local places to eat and was able to strike up a conversation of popular flavors. If you have any questions about the flavors they can help you forsure. Food/Drink: My only ding would be the food selection is small. They have some chips and granola bars. Most boba places have small fried foods like fries of crispy chicken. Buy different clientel different place. The meat and potatoes here are the Boba drinks. They have some pretty legit Vietnamese coffee (cafe Su da). Which was great and pretty potent. The custard in my milk tea was super soft and velvety. Some of the best I've ever had some awesome quality. Sometimes places will have dense custard. But this place was as soft as silken tofu. Overall this place is like an pearl in an oyster. Surrounded by your taco places and burger joints this place is a gem. This place goes outside the box and brings a jewel to Alamogordo. Come grab a drink and explore new flavors and drink your heart away with their Boba. Will come back for more especially on hot days.

    I wanted to like this place... No wait, I wanted to LOVE IT... But after the HORRIBLE encounter…read morethat I had with Alex (the owner) I had to let others know that while the place is cute, she is only in business because she is the only yoga instructor/class from Laz Cruces to Roswell... So she can do as she pleases. And in case you are wondering, this is coming from someone having done over 1000 classes, is currently on a "1000 Day Yoga & Meditation Challenge", and is currently in yoga teacher training. So I am not just being pissy, but it was really that bad... First off, she seemed nice. She let me charge my phone battery (I am on a road trip across CA/AZ/NM) and was grateful. She guided us into the room and delayed the class a bit because this other person was taking forever in the bathroom and there were 2 of us waiting. Most of the class seemed OK with it and I was feeling the good energy. I was the only person under 35 in the class, but I love adding yin to my yang practice. I was taking photos and she commented that she had wished that I had asked. I felt bad and respected that. I usually do but had a brain fart in this case. I apologized. This was the GENTLE CLASS. She wanted us to go into a "restorative goddess pose" with props. This is my absolute favourite pose so I went about setting myself up thinking that this was an awesome way to start class after all of the activities that I did today in Alamogordo. She then asked me "why I wasn't doing it her way" and I replied that "I like doing it this way". She got mad and basically asked me why I even bothered to show up and went about how her teacher wouldn't stand for it. I was shocked and went about "doing it her way" and when I thought I knew she mocked me by telling me to "show her". I didn't realize that being berated and humiliated publicly was a part of this class, or maybe it was my hazing ritual to get into her good side. Who knows. Of course I challenged her because she had no right to ask me "why I even bothered to show up if I was going to do my own thing". I WAS DOING A MODIFICATION but she kept pressing ALWAYS HAVING TO HAVE THE LAST WORD. I left to wipe the tears but decided to go back and LET GO and give her a chance. I am not perfect, but I learned to forgive. The class was OK. The people in the class were friendly and a few felt bad and asked if I was OK. I tried to help as much as I can with putting away props and getting them and Alex was being civil, so I was grateful for that because there were many times that she could've led me to break my neck. But then again, I KNOW BETTER because I KNOW THE LIMITATIONS OF MY OWN BODY AND WHAT IS RIGHT FOR IT. When I made a joke about my legs being short, she agreed and even used anatomical terminology to seal the deal - as if it was her way to give me a blow without coming off as a horrible person. KUDOS TO HER. In the end, I went to give her her chant paper back and to tell her that she should never question WHY a student decides to show up to the mat and to be glad that they simply do. And she had the balls to reply "that she felt as if I weren't listening to her and was mocking her teaching!". I was so shocked because I cannot believe that this woman just gave me a vision of someone more obsessed with dictatorship than simply letting people feel good about themselves for showing up at the mat. She saw the look on my face and I commented and asked if "she was serious". Then she offered me my money back because "she didn't feel as if I took HER CLASS, anyway"... Always had to have the last word... I went to use the bathroom and when I walked by the counter I saw $16.10 laying there. She couldn't even have the decency to give it to me but no worries... Perhaps it was better that way. Her training is in Iyengar, which I have taken numerous classes in LA and have NEVER once been berated when having done my own modification... Because I KNOW that they best teacher is the one within and good teachers don't teach to satisfly their ego. Well, Alex is certainly one that is all about asserting her authority as a teacher, rather than letting her students occasionally make decisions for herself, her ego and need to "BE THE BOSS" fuels why she probably went on to be a "yoga teacher". I recommend just getting a hotel room in the area and plugging in the laptop to find an online class. That way, YOU CAN DO YOU. Put that $16.10 towards your hotel/hostel/camping fee. Alex needs a lesson in "adhikara". STRAIGHT UP. And best part, she never once cued us to BREATHE. How's that for yoga?

    We were just stopping in Cloudcroft to ask where we could find a trading post to stock up on chili…read moreitems. But when we were driving through I noticed this little store front called Instant Karma. I wasn't really planning to, but when my husband went to walk the dog I made a beeline for this place (as a side note, my husband knew just where to find me when he was done - he knows me too well). So at first I just saw clothes in the front, and thought maybe it was an overpriced touristy place like the others in the strip of stores... but then I took a few more steps in, and behold.... it is an active, whole living type lifestyle store with A YOGA STUDIO IN THE BACK! Coolest little store EVER. I just had to spend my birthday money here. I invested in a SIGG water bottle that I have been wanting, a lip balm, and a sticker that says 'BREATHE'. And I supported a small business! Yay. The woman working (I think maybe the owner) was really sweet and helpful, and she had her dogs in the store with her - another plus. I love this place.
