It tasted very artificial and like a water down drink. My hubby didn't drink it at all. The lavender milk tea (50% sweet) was not too bad. The chai milk tea was pretty good. The chocolate cookies n cream was good also. One thing is the boba was not fresh. They tasted old. I believe all drinks are made with powdered cream (as the base for "milk"). Sadly to say I will not be returning. At least not for the drinks. I might try their rolled ice cream.....might...

My friends and I were looking for something fun to do last weekend and decided to look for a…read morekaraoke place. We found this one through Yelp, but couldn't find information on prices, times, reservations, or anything. We called the number we found online, but no one answered. We called multiple times, but ended up with no information, so we decided to go and talk to them in person. When we got there, we found about 4 college aged students who did not speak much English at all. When we asked the cost, they said it was $15 per hour. We decided to go ahead, because that isn't bad at all. They had us sit in the waiting room for about five minutes, to clean the room (although there were zero costumers anywhere so I don't know why they hadn't done that before, instead of standing around and talking like we had seen them doing as we walked in.) We were then lead to our room and began singing. That part was pretty fun, and the music selection was decent, with many fairly current songs available. When we were leaving, however, we were informed that it was actually $15/person/hour rather than the $15/room/hour like we had been told. As we stood there in disbelief, the girl ringing us up said she would charge us $40 in total (there were four of us), which was a nice gesture, but still a lot more than we had been expecting. It wasn't the girl's fault, as she wasn't fluent in English, but it should've been written somewhere or explained to us better. We then shelled out the $40 and left, knowing we would never go back. All in all, the place was dirty, smelled bad, poorly lit, had poor service, and was way too over priced. Go at your own risk.

The guy making my drink gave me half a scoop of each add on and he made my drink without gloves and was handling the fruit that he put in my drink with his bare fingers after I saw him handle cash. On top of the unsanitary food preparation, he stopped halfway through making my drink to go greet someone at the door. To make one drink I was in there for about 10 minutes because he talked to the person for a few minutes completely disregarding me. The tea itself ended up not being very good and I cant bring myself to drink it due to the fact he put his fingers in it. The picture I have added shows how few add ons he put in, mind you they ended up costing $1.50. This was a complete waste of $9

This is literally the best bubble tea I've ever had, anywhere. The space is one of my favorite things about it. The front has that bright, lively energy you'd expect; vibrant, fun, the kind of place that puts you in a good mood the moment you walk in. Head towards the back and there are a few private booths tucked away that feel almost entirely separate from the rest; quieter, more intimate, and just a relaxing place to sit and decompress. This place is great for a date, a solo visit, or even just a quick stop between errands. The atmosphere here adapts to whatever it is you're looking for. The bubble tea speaks for itself, but don't overlook everything else on the menu. They have smoothies, along with foods like popcorn chicken and fries, all of which are genuinely delicious. Not once have I left feeling like I overpaid or that something wasn't worth it. Pro: Exceptional bubble tea, great food and drinks across the board, friendly staff, and an atmosphere that just works no matter why you're there. Fair prices and always clean and inviting. Con: Nothing Tip: Try something new each visit; there's so many amazing options, and it's a great way to expand one's horizon.

I have been a loyal customer of BEP Teahouse for years and have made many purchases, so I was very…read moredisappointed to recently realize that many of my visits and purchases were not properly credited to my loyalty points account. I called the store to ask about the missing points and was told to contact INFI. After contacting INFI, I was told that the points could not be added and that I needed to speak with the store again. Basically, I was sent back and forth between the store and INFI without anyone taking responsibility for resolving the issue. I understand that systems can have problems, but after being a loyal customer for years, I expected better customer service and a loyalty program that actually tracks purchases accurately. The point system needs to be much more reliable, and there should be a reasonable way to correct missing points when customers can provide proof of their purchases. I hope BEP Teahouse takes this feedback seriously and improves both the loyalty program and the way these issues are handled.
