I was pleasantly surprised to find a Teaspoon location in Visalia! I'm from the Bay Area, so I'm…read morevery familiar with Teaspoon, but it's honestly been a while since I've had it. It was such a nice little surprise to see one here. I was debating between the Vietnamese coffee and the Creamy Jasmine drink, but since this was just a small evening treat, I didn't want something as strong as Vietnamese coffee. I ended up ordering the Jasmine milk tea. I made the mistake of choosing regular ice and regular sweetness. After my first sip, I was surprised at how sweet it was -- I don't remember Teaspoon drinks being quite this sweet before. If I could redo my order, I would definitely go with 25% sweetness. I actually ended up diluting my drink with a bit of water to balance it out. That said, the boba itself was great -- perfectly chewy and fresh. The shop was also very clean, nicely laid out, and had plenty of tables to sit and relax. There was also plenty of parking outside, which is always a plus. All in all, Just be mindful of the sweetness level when you order!

But I purchased 2 extra orders of biscuits & didn't even receive the complementary ones. I called the restaurant & gave them a chance to remedy the fact that they stole my money on food I didn't get.

Also, I was transferred to the person who prepped my order & dude said he didn't know I ordered the extra biscuits. I'm not in the business of giving my money away. Don't go here. They will steal your money. Here's the proof of my order you jerk.

Gong Cha was the front runner; so we had to check it out! It was around 4pm on a weds, we arrived to a busy parking lot but as we approached the front door, the inside had but one guest enjoying what appeared to be a delicious drink. The front staff member was welcoming and greeted us as we came in, the other two staff members were more silent and stayed to themselves. The store's Ambiance is very nice, definitely somewhere you can sit and enjoy your drink without the outside world bothering you. Being a first timer, they do have a small menu board near the register that goes through each step on the ordering process. Plus they have a digital board on top; the one we looked at goes into more detail on how to build and order your drink. This time around my wife knew exactly the one she wanted to try, so we didn't need the help board "that much". My wife did get asked how much ice and how sweet she wanted it. She went with 50% ice and 50% sweet. Pro Tip: they do ask for ice amount and sugar amount, i.e. 0, 10%, 50% "which is the preferred amount in sugar" but I would personally say not the right amount in ice. Go higher amount in ice, it will melt quickly. But they even go to 100% in ice amount and sugar which is the most sweet. The drink came out to around 5 and change, 7 with the 2 dollar tip. I didn't feel like a drink this time around, but the price isn't too bad for a medium sized drink. The overall flavor was "good" not "great". The pearls are absolutely not needed for these drinks, they really don't do anything except add a texture to an already decent beverage that works fine on its own. The tea was a little watered down, the ice melted quickly from the time we got the drink to the time we got halfway home. The pearls didn't really have flavor. They were just kinda "there". But the Drink had the brown sugar flavor, it was nice! Nice enough to Definitely come back for another round and this time I plan on trying one of my own. Pro Tip: By The front Door they do have a "Mask Required" sign. Don't know if they're still following procedures for Covid, but we were respectful to keep our masks on. Definitely give this place a try if you're on Mooney and looking for a delicious tea or boba.

Since there aren't many great options locally, I make it a point to stop by Happy Lemon whenever I get the chance. My go-to order is the grapefruit green tea with boba and half sugar--always crisp, refreshing, and delicious. I love how the boba is consistently good and perfectly chewy. They offer a special deal every Thursday--buy one and get the second at half price. Not sure how long they will have this special but worth it! The place itself is clean, well-kept, and welcoming. There's also a restroom available for customers, which is a big plus if you're passing through on a road trip. The staff have always been friendly and attentive during my visits. Just a heads-up: the bubble waffle does take some time to prepare!

Interestingly there was only one employee working when we visited and I watched in amazement as she took orders and prepared everything. Our drinks took 25 minutes to complete and we were the first group in line. *Mochi Donut: there were seasonal flavors and the employee was kind enough to explain the different flavors as the names were a bit abstract. I opted for the spring donut which was white chocolate and matcha. The texture was the best I've tried. Perfectly bouncy in the center with a light exterior. It wasn't too oily nor sweet and the glaze was subtle. Despite the description, I couldn't really differentiate the white chocolate and matcha from a standard glaze. *Spring Fruit Tea: described as a passionfruit and rose tea. Disappointedly, neither flavor was prominent. The tea was steeped well but this was missing some brightness. *Creme Brulee: very sweet but fragrant. This was rich and milky with strong notes of burnt cream. However, we got less sugar for this and it was still too sweet. If there was an option to lower the sugar even more, I would opt for that. The milk based drinks tasted better than the fruit ones. If I was in a rush, I would stick to the donuts but drinks were pretty good if you don't mind the wait.

It had the perfect amount of nutty bitterness from the coffee that you can actually taste. We had ours at 100% sweetness level and it was perfect. One side note, the seating chairs were dirty. They were padded seats and were all stained. It looks like it needs a good steamed clean.
