    Excited for a bubble tea shop so close to the hospital. Service was quick. The shop has some…read morecounter seating. There were lots of options. I tried my usual default Jasmine Milk Tea w/ tapioca (confirmed it was lactose free). The drink was light but still milky, didn't taste too watery. Had a strong jasmine flavor and a mild tea bitter aftertaste. The tapioca was soft but chewy and didn't harden up. Excited to try their other flavor next time!

    Keeping in mind that I live in California where we get multiple dueling boba shops within the same…read moreplaza, Tea Time was passable. (I really am spoiled by the high quality tea shops in my home state.) I usually get my first drink at a place at whatever the recommended sweetness level is to get a feel for the baseline sweetness level, and Tea Time is sweeter than I am used to, but they do offer sweetness adjustment, so that's just something to keep in mind. I wasn't in a fruity mood, so I got the toasted brown sugar milk tea, and it really just tasted like a normal milk tea to me (but with extra sugar)? The molasses-y flavor of brown sugar was barely there, even at the recommended sweetness level, and I felt the boba was a little over-done and slightly mushy, but it may have been an off day since it was a weekday in a colder season and the shop didn't have many visitors while we were there drinking our tea--higher turnover usually means fresher boba in any boba shop. Overall, a reasonable boba shop if you need to satisfy the craving while in the area. Since I visit Rochester annually to see my husband's family, I figure I will be back again some other year, and I look forward to seeing the Rochester boba scene grow.

    Uni Uni Bubble Tea - Assam Milk Tea

    I loved most of the Uni Uni locations I visited in Chicago (with the only bad one being the one in…read moreChinatown). Seeing a Uni Uni in Rochester, we decided to visit for an after lunch treat. Given the construction and complete closure of 2nd St SW, it's a little hard to get to the shop. They do have a parking lot right behind, but even finding the entrance is difficult for first timers. The door is along a little walkway between the front of the store and the construction gates. It's really difficult to see until right in front of it. Walking in, there are two kiosks for easy ordering, although the bobarista is happy to take orders in person as well. Assam Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, Less Ice, Large ($6.49) + Brown Sugar Boba (+$1.25) - The milk tea quality is just how I remembered it - thick body, great malty tea flavor, maybe a little too sweet but not far to saccharine. Really good base drink. The only detractor is way too much ice at less ice. After finishing the drink, slowly sipping, there was still a bunch of ice on the bottom of the cup. The boba here is clearly soaked in brown sugar for a while giving a great mineral flavor that seeps into the milk tea, especially after mixing the drink thoroughly. This additional sugar complements the tea well. The boba itself is nice. I usually expect brown sugar boba to be too far on the mushy side, but this one is almost perfect. Great bounce, great chew, just a very well cooked and marinated boba. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 5/5 This location of Uni Uni continues the trend of serving some really great boba. I'd definitely revisit if I'm ever in Rochester again. Bathrooms - Single unisex room. Drinks: [4.75/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 5/5

    The first place I've ever been a regular at :) This place is…read moreso cute! Staff are so kind and they consistently serve up great boba. I've lost count of how many times my roommate and I have been here already. They're also so sweet whenever we bring the pup by and give him little pup cups! Drinks 5/5 Service 5/5 Vibes 5/5

    So I'm making this review after being one of the first customers on opening day and just going to…read morethe store again today. Pros: Flavor and texture are great. As the only spot in Rochester, this is quite good on having a variety of flavors rotating weekly. Wish they had some staple flavors and that the donuts were made to order but that's okay. I do appreciate the unique flavors they offer. The ambience is nice to hang out. They do offer WiFi in the store and the password is near the main cash register Cons: Service has not been great. It's something that will greatly change the experience. Both times I've been there the staff do not work efficiently. The orders of just donuts should take a minute or two. However, I believe they operate to complete the order and move to the next. The cash register prompts to give gratuity but the staff really don't do much besides take your order. The Ube boba has a weird aftertaste. And the cup (though cool) isn't great for navigating to get all the boba. Overall, I really want this place to thrive here. With a better plan for a more efficient operation, I would definitely rate this higher.

    Shocked by the poor reviews - we just went here today mid day and we were met with smiles by the…read morestaff and no line! The place was very cute; I loved the bright and airy decor. The donuts looked so fresh and there was a huge variety. I know some of the reviews on their corn dogs and bubble tea are mixed. I didn't try either. However, I will say that whenever I go to a place, I tend to get what it's most known for. Mochinut is known for their donuts, so I got a 12 pack of donuts to-go. There was no wait when I went. We took them home and they tasted sooo delicious and fresh - on par with mochi donuts I've had in the Twin Cities. Absolutely loved them. My favorite flavors that I've tried so far are the Strawberry and Oreo - but you really can't go wrong. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be getting more in the future.
