Three words: Matchacado with boba…read more Loose Leaf is the only bubble tea shop I've come across in Franklin, yet it still ranks in my top five favorites. The menu is focused on quality rather than overwhelming you with choices, and each beverage is unique in its own right. I really appreciate the dairy alternatives, caffeine options and overall outstanding service at Loose Leaf. I love this boba shop in particular because it's conveniently located on my way home, inside Pokemoto, a Hawaiian spot that serves raw fish (think deconstructed sushi in a bowl). If you're looking to grab lunch and a tasty drink, this setup is perfect for hitting two birds with one stone. The drink selection is well-rounded, ranging from fruity to milky and healthy to indulgent. The Matchacado uses real avocado and high-quality matcha, blended together to create a drink I could honestly have for the rest of my life. There's something about the sweetness of the condensed milk, the creaminess of the avocado and the chewiness of the tapioca pearls that makes each sip taste SO (underline, bold and italicize "so" for me please, Yelp) good. Better yet, it's consistently well-made and the young team members behind the counter clearly know what they're doing when it comes to this drink. My last visit to Loose Leaf was heartbreaking: they were out of avocados, but the young man behind the counter recommended the Purple Roots instead, which had a pleasantly earthy taro flavor. It reminded me of a classic taro milk tea, but blended and elevated the Loose Leaf way. Their Vietnamese drip coffee is also solid for anyone who wants a strong caffeine kick to the face. If I haven't spotlighted them enough already, shoutout to the young man and woman who handle both the boba and poke stations - you two absolutely rock and are always so friendly! My only wish (as I mentioned in my last review for Pokemoto) is for steady Wi-Fi. This would be a fantastic spot not only for lunch, but also to settle in and get some work done for an hour or two. I would gladly buy two (or three) drinks in one visit if that were the case. More solo/smaller tables would also be nice so I don't take space from others!

I have been coming here since Kimochi had opened this location and I'm always pleased with my…read morebubble tea!! First of all, before Kimochi, I would've had to travel to Providence or another city for boba and deal with terrible parking situations and all that unfortunate jazz. But now I can get boba that's right down the street, and where there's street parking galore! I usually opt for a milk tea with tapioca pearls, 75% sugar. I like sweet, but they are quite heavy with the sweetness so I like to tone it down just a tad. I'm a sucker for their brown sugar milk tea, but their Thai iced tea and taro flavors are good too. I was in recently and they had a strawberry banana flavor that sounded delicious but the call of the brown sugar milk tea was too strong. Next time perhaps! The tapioca pearls themselves are great. I've had some bad ones before, but never here. They are the perfect texture and they taste great. They're also usually a little warm which I love! So fresh. The cheese foam is good too if you're feeling adventurous. I follow them on instagram and they always have special festive drinks that lure me in as well, so there's always something new to try! I feel like every time I come here, the decor changes a little. What was once one of those grassy, photo op walls that you see in every trendy place is an interesting Pikachu-inspired mural. They also sell shirts, little trinkets, and stuffed animals as well. I've seen them do promotions with other companies that have also drawn me inside... such as when they were selling mochi cupcakes from a place in Boston (I did not like these) or mochi donuts (love these) before they opened Pinku next door.

Stopped today initially to grab a quick and easy grilled cheese for our one year old, but quickly…read moreand surprisingly, turned into one of our best stops of our shopping trip at the outlets. We had never tried boba drinks before, so my husband asked what they were. The owner was so lovely and explained boba and how they make them - even offered to do a combination of drink flavors for us as first time boba drinkers. We ended up with a mango and strawberry slushee type drink on top and passion fruit boba on the bottom. It was incredible. We now understand the hype. In the meantime, the grilled cheese we initially stopped for was also amazing. Our one year old (and five year old) gobbled it down as quick as they could. The pieces my husband and I tried were impressive for a grilled cheese! Highly recommend. Great products. Great customer service.

I have a 7 month old that needs a food break too but I don't want to go to the food court and then there is the Boba station. They have enticing drinks for kids but simple grilled cheese sandwiches with a combo price that's pretty affordable (just over $10.) So we stopped. It was made quickly, there were tables and chairs right there. We ordered a watermelon slushie with mango boba balls. The balls are not my thing and mango isn't for me. The slushie watermelon flavor was not as strong and then at the bottom it was too strong. I mean as a Rhode Islander Del's is way better. The sandwich- warm, gooey cheese and a lot of cheese )yes! The one sandwich easily fed all three of us for an early snack. I would definitely have the grilled cheese again.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem like they're in business at this location anymore? Or if they are,…read morethey don't sell any of the menu items anymore. When you walk into this shop, it's both Pokemoto and what is supposed to be Loose Leaf in the back. Their entire menu is covered off and they don't have any of the menu items from Loose Leaf. Instead, they have a selection of bubble teas on a separate stand up menu. My fiance got the strawberry matcha with no toppings which was far too tart and overpowered by the strawberry sauce, you couldn't taste the matcha. The order was messed up and they put boba in it after he said he didn't want any boba. By the time he finished most of the tart strawberry, the match was completely watered down. We had asked about the original menu items and if they sell them anymore, and were told that essentially Loose Leaf discontinued all of their drinks. So it sounds like they aren't really in business anymore. The cups they use are different as well and are Pokemoto cups, not Loose Leaf. What a let down, as we were hyping up Loose Leaf to our friends and really looking forward to having some. Guess we'll try the Franklin location to see if they're still in business.

I wouldn't have cared if it hadn't cost extra to get no ice/increase volume of the beverage. The employee apologized and remade my drink quickly. The flavors and textures were both nice. It's cute inside. I think it would have been nice to have been greeted when I entered the store and asked if I needed any help/had questions about the menu.
