Discovered my neighborhood Boba spot about two years ago and it's time I leave a review. Their Boba is consistently fresh and why I keep coming back.
Today is a random Saturday in June, close to noon, plenty of parking, though no shade anywhere. They are right next to a handicap ramp, so easy access for those of us with wheels. Inside there's upbeat music playing from the late 90's-2000's on a lower volume so people can converse without having to yell. There's a few board games to play by the window and it comfortably holds about 14 customers.
We had their made-from-real-avocados Avocado Smoothie with Boba. The boba was still warm, sweet, layered, soft and chewy which all registers as fresh. I asked about adding a mochi topping and learned they don't have that here.
Since I've been coming for a couple of years, they used to have my favorite Rose Tea because it really tasted like roses! However I no longer see it on the menu. I would also recommend their Thai Milk Tea, Tiger Sugar Milk Tea, Jasmine Milk Tea and Hokkaido Milk Tea. The Tarot milk tea is lightly flavored, so it's an easy introduction for people who've never had Boba Milk Teas before. The Honeydew Milk Tea was also delicious and I can't remember if it was made with real honeydew.
In terms of desserts, I've had their Ube and Churro mochi doughnuts which had lightly sweetened doughs and coated with sugar on the outside, which were delicious. I didn't see any for sale today. Their cute Sleepy Mousse Bear (Strawberry and White Chocolate) were moderately sweet and loved the surprisingly soft texture! I was disappointed when I realized the ones I took home had all their contrasting chocolate piping colors missing.
Took off a star because they don't have Public Restrooms. As a basic human need, we really should have a bathroom and a sink to wash our hands in places where food/drinks are served.
Peony Tea House is also missing a website or BlueSky Social Media account! Because I don't have the typical Meta social apps, I don't know what their rotating menu offers are or how much it costs until I show up. Even in-person the prices aren't always listed. I don't like asking how much the adorable little desserts cost because sometimes there's a line and who has time to ask/answer questions?
Overall, an adorable shop and worth bringing our friends to meet-up!

Video:
The purple and yellow plush chairs are empty and the video transitions to a high table next to the window where two people can play board games on wooden seated bar-stools. We can see the main door and eventually video pans to a neon light that's not currently illuminated. It sits on a background of green clover-like plastic foliage with roses for quick pictures with friends. We then see the front counter which accepts Apple/Google Pay and they're selling some popsicles today. Sometimes they have free samples! The video continues to pan towards the dessert display featuring macrons and cheesecakes in the forefront, while the menu is in the background against the back wall of the store. There's a No Smoking sign posted and the video ends with three more available tables with seating for about 10 people to enjoy.

Avocado Smoothie! Light green avocado smoothie has black boba spheres on the bottom and it's pictured in front of the picturesque green and rose-filled background. There's a black plastic straw that's punctured the thin plastic lid which holds the straw in place. The straw is wide enough for the spheres to move up along with the liquid.
