I love that they have a conscious and labeled menu- ranging from vegan to keto to gluten-free options. (Thanks for that!) The flavors have such fun names; Estes' fave name is Golddigger, since that sums up the freeloading life of a spoiled and very loved dog (that was also his dad's fave flavor ) What a great spot in Briarcliffe Village. We will definitely be back!

It was quite busy when we stopped in nevertheless the staff was very friendly and happy to let us sample flavors before ordering, which I appreciated. The one thing that really stood out was the price ... and not in a good way. We paid $16 for two scoops of ice cream, which felt pretty outrageous for what we got. I truly enjoy supporting local businesses, and I understand that rising costs and high rent can play a role, but it still didn't feel worth it. I didn't rate them too low based on that because they're doing a great job! If you're going for the atmosphere and experience, it could be a fun stop. But if you're thinking about value for money, it may come across as a bit underwhelming.

They do offer 2 little 2 seat tables that are attached to the brick wall, but this is primarily a grab & go location. Focusing on boba teas and smoothies, they also have a very small menu of Asian dishes that look delicious.

I also love that they do not skimp on ingredients. When they add toppings they actually scoop them. I haven't had anything here I wouldn't get again, but my go to favorites are their frozen drinks and wow their crepes. Their crepes are insanely decadent. The crew is always kind and leaves you alone to enjoy your tea in a quiet, quaint teashop. The decor and media around the shop from the TVs to the music to the games make it feel relaxing and fun. They also have quite a few different desserts like macarons that will not disappoint you. The outside seating is nice when the weather is cooperating and the speed of service is exactly what you expect for custom drinks. No more, no less. They also pack everything perfectly for delivery or takeout. My orders always arrive looking great, tasting great, and feeling mindfully prepared.

Not only do they always have some amazing seasonal drinks that they rotate out, but their normal drinks are also amazing! They roast their own coffee in house, sometimes you can see them roasting in the window as you grab your drink. Every single person that works in here is sweet as can be, but Theo has to be one of my favorites! He is always in such a positive mood if I come by in the mornings and it always puts a smile on my face when hes in the window. The owners are also extremely kind, and I always enjoy their happy vibes when I come by before work. My favorite drinks have to be their seasonal christmas cookie latte, the orange cardamom latte, and the Fresh Thai Tea with some espresso added!

The line can get intimidatingly long on the weekends, but service is shockingly quick. The employees are helpful and efficient. They really crank out the beverages. There are tons of options for both smoothies and boba tea, so there's really something for everyone. The sizes are a little small for the price, but it's to be expected in this prime City Market location. Is it the best boba tea or smoothie I've ever had? Probably not. But the mango smoothies are the perfect convenient, cool treat on a hot day. Besides drinks, they also sell loose leaf tea and some tea pots! We all know parking is challenging in River Market, especially on the weekends, so it's hard to swing by if you're not already exploring the market. But it's conveniently located near all the River Market streetcar stops!

They also had a couple cute vending machines and a claw machine. They didn't have my typical order of lychee such but I got a mango passion fruit slush with boba.

Would probably come back!
