Taro Smash with Boba FTW!!!
Post Lan Noodle dinner with Yelp Bestie Tora M., we headed a couple doors down to Oops Boba Tea & Coffee for dessert drinks. It's been a while since I've had a Boba drink and of course, the opportunity to write another review, I'm not gonna say no to either, lol!
Parking: Plentiful parking in the plaza.
Oops Boba Tea & Coffee is located in the same plaza and across from Tokyo Wako and a couple doors up from Lan Noodle, Thai Basil Cooking and Pho Ha restaurants. The shop itself is clean, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. They previously replaced Journey Coffee & Tea (and so, you'll still see some remnants of Journey Coffee & Tea here). The major difference here - only drinks are sold, but no food (maybe later on???).
In between checking out their menu displayed on the window, Tora and I were also wondering the name of Oops and whether the girl mascots were Witches or wearing Sombreros, lol! To quote Yelp Buddy Albert H.: "It's definitely unique. It's Chinese name is actually "Witch" so some may imagine a witch brewing her drinks and "oops, comes up with magical brew." Aww, what a cute theory! Hoping, they'll concoct some fun and interesting drinks for Halloween???
Here's what we got:
$5.75 Taro Smash with Boba ($0.50 extra) with 50% sugar sweetness. One size cup only, but it's pretty big with the adorable Oops Witch Girls on it and can be reusable too. I didn't keep mines, but I'll take it home with me next time when I come back to tryout their other drinks. The Taro Smash is aesthetically pleasing (love the purple color with white creamy swirls) and delicious tasting too! The Taro fragrance that the drink emitted smelled divine. Smooth, sweet and creamy with bits of Taro pieces as described by other Yelpers, who had also gotten this drink. The Boba was plentiful, soft and great for nibbling on (not gonna lie, I was kinda bummed that they didn't have a Yelp Check-in for a free topping or % off drinks). Nonetheless, I enjoyed my drink and highly recommend getting this one.
Tora got a Tiramisu Ceylon Milk Tea with Boba that looked aesthetically pleasing too. She enjoyed her drink and you can read more about it when she posts hers.
COVID-19 Safety Procedures: Both the female Staffers wore face masks and gloves. Hand sanitizers are available and six feet social distancing practiced. You can either drink inside, outside or take it to go.
Service: Both the female Staffers were friendly and efficient. Once we ordered and paid for our drinks, it was quickly made and ready to drink within less than 10mins. In between, we took pics of the place and our drinks afterwards. We talked and hung out inside for the last hour and left about 10mins before their closing time at 8 p.m. (the ladies were cleaning up in between, but didn't rush us).
Overall, I enjoyed Oops Boba Tea & Coffee and look forward to coming back another time to try out their other drinks. Thanks again, Oops Boba Tea & Coffee! read more
