Went here on the recommendation of a friend. Cute little space with several options for drinks and pastries. It's carry out only as they do not have seating. There's also limited standing room so you may wish to not go with a large group when going in to order. I got the peach tea with mango crystal Boba. I wasn't sure what to expect with the crystal Boba. The best way to describe it is a much softer version of a gummy bear. I did like how you can choose your level of sweetness. I chose the lowest which was 30% sweetness. They were little tiny flowers in the tea, which may have been part of the peach tea, but it did throw me a bit. It was a nice refreshing drink, though definitely not my favorite place for Boba. The staff were friendly and helpful. And it was a pretty good value value. read more

Stopped in on a whim and so glad I did! Got myself a refreshing fruity bubble tea and some tiramisu. There was only one other patron ahead of me and service was really quick. I can see coming back here once Spring has sprung and sampling the pastries and other deli items. Maybe even starting my walk from here to downtown.... The vibe is very cafe bistro and definitely a fun treat!! read more

I'm a big Taro Boba girl ... tried this place to see if it was good ...the flavor was really bland for me ... could barely taste the Taro in it at all ... flavor was washed out.. wasn't really impressed :( read more

I got to try the Tiramisu Cloud latte (the pink lid) and it was so good. It tastes like brownies blended with espresso. The original tea tasted so plain compared to it. Usually I like the classic milk tea the best, but here not so much. It wasn't bad but I think the more unique options here are much more worth it. I went on Saturday around 4 and it was not the busiest but there didn't look like enough staff. The seating area is super narrow and at the window that goes out to the street. Seriously though it's so narrow to sit here, I feel like a wheelchair would not fit. Trying to leave was honestly hard because of how tiny the space is. read more

I need this place closer to where I live. Their macaroons are officially the only macaroons that I am a fan of. Period. They're thick, cakey, but stay true to being a macaroon. My husband got an ube beverage that was light and tasty. My only regret is not getting more to take home. read more

A super cute bubble tea spot not far walking distance from Findlay Market! There is a wide variety of options (including non-dairy milk tea options with oat milk!). They also had some homemade buns (ex: red bean buns, milk bun, and pork buns!). The service was speedy but still nice quality. There isn't much seating so it's best to take it on the go. I got a jasmine tea kumquat tea with dragon fruit and passion fruit popping boba and it was delicious - it even had some candied kumquat in it! read more

Qlicious is my favorite place for bubble tea/boba in the city! My favorite thing to get is the brown sugar milk (or milk tea) (size small pictured) with tapioca boba. Make sure you specify what type of boba you want as it is separate from the drinks. I also love the cookies and cream drink! They have milk substitutes, including almond and oat milk, which is great if you're lactose intolerant like me! You can also adjust the sweetness level and how much ice is in your drink. Qlicious has the best tapioca boba in the city and they give a fair amount in each drink. Their drinks are so cute too! The staff is always so kind and helpful, and they make the drinks quickly. The only downside is finding parking, but the drinks are so worth it :) read more

What a cute spot in OTR!! If you like bubble tea, this is the place for you. My husband and I each got fruit tea bubble tea on a hot day and they were delicious. I love getting a mix of tapioca and fruit pop boba for a bit of variety. It's a small shop but service is super fast and friendly. Will definitely be back--they have an extensive menu! read more

Staff were very friendly. Dogs are allowed. Classic Taro milk tea (70% sugar) was very sweet and makes a good dessert. I recommend 50% sugar if you don't like your drinks too sweet. Boba was a good chewy texture. The kumquat passion fruit slush was very refreshing on a hot day. read more

OTR's newest bubble tea spot serving up teas, pastries, and other sweet treats. The tea itself is $5.95 but you have to pay extra for the boba or any other toppings. An expensive treat at almost $7 for a small brown sugar boba milk tea. The milk tea was very sweet! Next time I'll have to tell them to make it 50% sweet. You have the option to get 25-100% sweetness level. The drink comes in a cute cup made of heavy plastic. Probably not the best for the environment, but I plan to reuse the cup as long as I can. Shake up the drink to mix the brown sugar and boba before taking a sip! Inside there is limited seating and a plushy boba tea for photos. They carry an array of Asian pastries, macarons, and sweets. The menu is expansive with items like smoothies, Yakut, and various tea flavors. A nice occasional treat on the go! read more

Based solely off of the Japanese cheesecake...holy moly this was good. Like a cross between a pound cake and a cheesecake, delicious. Very hard to describe but not too sweet with the texture of a dense cake? Peach tea with the popping bubbles was also good. read more

Insane menu with tons of options many are unique! Beautiful handmade desserts. The drinks are made with high quality ingredients; it took me a few hours to finish my drink and it didn't get all gross and squishy before I finished it. Staff is super nice too! I got the biscoff cookie bubble tea and my husband got a fruit tea (he isn't a big bubble tea guy but really enjoyed his, it had blueberry popping boba!) read more

Qlicious has so many options and unique flavors on their menu! You can customize sweetness level and substitute dairy so there's a drink for everyone. The shop is so cute and smells amazing with the cutest pastry display. The girls in the back are always so welcoming and very fast at making the drinks. Their cups are also so adorable and have little heart stoppers on the lids lol. Definitely my favorite boba shop in Cincinnati! Update: I tried their pandan mango cake roll, japanese cheesecake, pistachio crepe cake, oreo macaroon, snow sponge cake, fruity pebbles cake, oreo crepe cake and lava cake. Wow! You can tell how much effort they put into their desserts and each one had amazing flavor and attention to detail. The crepes are my favorite with over 25 layers! Everything tastes so fresh and soft. Their snow sponge cake is also a must try. read more

This gem is definitely in the top 3 best places for boba tea in the Cincinnati area. If you are a boba tea connoisseur like myself, this place is a must. The boba is cooked just right. Most boba tea places in the Cincinnati area that I've tried overcook their boba causing it to lose their desired chewiness. The milk and tea ratio was grasped pretty well if you don't lean on the stronger tea side. I would have preferred the tea to be a bit stronger but overall it's still pretty good. The Japanese cheesecake was delicious. The cheesecake filling is packed with flavors accompanied by the moist cake. The Tiramisu Mille crepe cake was also deciduous. I really liked the strong coffee flavor and with every bite, you can taste the cream. The staff was friendly and made the ordering and receiving my order efficient. The store layout seems a bit odd and could use some decoration and a little TLC. It looked like they just moved in and still trying to get the store put together. Overall, the bubble tea was delicious and I will definitely be back! read more

Every time I visit I get the strawberry-banana smoothie with strawberry popping boba. ITS SO BOMB. The smoothie is always a 10/10 and the boba is actually so amazing. The service is always great, the workers are very friendly and patient. Great business! Def recommend to visit!! read more

The drinks are very refreshing. The boba is always fresh and has good consistency. Of the times I've been there, the boba has never been poor quality. They also offer very many options in the way of toppings and popping boba. You can also adjust the sweetness level of your drinks. You have a lot of control over the customization of your drink. They also have fun desserts and breads, and I've enjoyed every one I've tried. Qlicious' consistent quality helps it stand out amongst its rich competition in Cincinnati. read more

I have been here 3+ times, and I've loved my experience every time! I love the boba and the dessert options. Service is kind and pretty quick. The downside is how tiny the space is. I will be back! read more

I used to go to the location in west chester, last few times i went they were out of tapioca, hours before closing. Was really irritating because its SO good and so far. But this location is closer and is stocked upppp on tapioca. One of my favorite boba places around!!! read more

My favorite go to place to order from in general. The original milk tea and brown sugar milk tea are the best (personally) and every pastry is phenomenal. My boyfriend loves the Oreo taro milk tea so it's a place we can agree on (and that's not something that happens very often). It's a MUST TRY!!!! Believe me it's worth it. read more

This place has great teas, a wide variety of options, unique baked goods, and the staff is always so delightful!

Was craving a refreshing drink and am happy to say that Qlicious quenched that thirst! I got the Peach Tea (was worried it might just be syrup and water but there were peach chunks and it tasted like real tea!) at 70% sweet and it was just right. If I ever find myself in the area again, I'd definitely go back!! read more

Best boba spot in Cincinnati! Ordered for my coworkers yesterday and they all were raving!

A great corner spot for refreshing beverages and yummy snacks! I loved the variety of the menu.

very poor service . they gave me my drink with 2% milk when I asked for almond . wouldn't exchange or issue refund. 1/10 . won't be back

Fantastic. I wish they didn't use so much plastic but the pastries and tea are amazing.

This is my new favorite! I've ordered twice and it's always been stellar! I hardly ever write reviews but this was necessary, please try it if you get the chance! I've gotten the pandan mango cake and it was amazing! Creamy and the cake wasn't dry, sweet but not too sweet and the mango wasn't overpowering either. I just got the pink velvet cake I'm so excited to try read more

I tried the crape cake for the first time. Between Oreo and tiramisu, I think Oreo wins. Definitely recommend

not a fan, too much gimmicky, and the product was not good, better place down the street

the drink was good great even but I found a long black hair at the end of my cup and im black with dreads and first I thought it was mine but I got a took a little piece of hair out my head and it did not match read more
