The service was the problem- it tooted 30 minutes to get my drink- when I went in there was no one else in line- after I finished ordering about 5 -7 more people entered. There were two employees instead of making mine they waited until all of the people ordered individually and then started working on each order. (Just about everyone came in separately) When they finally finished my order they put on the counter with all the other orders.

The menu and drinks are consistently on point. The owner herself served us and prepared our food, which says everything about the heart behind this place. She's incredibly warm and welcoming. With a 99/100 sanitation rating, you can sit back and enjoy every bite knowing the space is held to a seriously high standard. The vibe here is just the best.. soft, relaxing music sets the perfect mood, and there are even games to keep the good times going. Whether you're stopping in solo or making it a whole outing, Purple and Pearl delivers every single time.

Bottom line: Purple & Pearl is a nicely decorated shop with many types of tea/milk/matcha type…read morebeverages. I enjoyed the strawberry lime tea here a lot with the minimum sweetness level. The croffle was good, I was a bit confused by the offered toppings however the whipped cream it originally has on it works well but has a very thick layer of it. I'd definitely come back for the strawberry lime tea in the future. The Deets: During a recent walk through the neighborhood, I noticed the newish Purple & Pearl and decided to pop in there. Purple & Pearl specializes in fruit tea/bubble tea/milk tea/matcha latte/Vietnamese coffee/fresh milk beverages with a few snacks in the form of croffles (waffle and croissant hybrid). Upon entering, this space is very nicely decorated with high aesthetic appeal. I looked over the menu and decided on getting the strawberry lime tea with a croffle to snack on there. I got the tea with the lowest available sweetness (sticker on it stated 25%, from the natural sweetness of the fruit it was explained to me as I did ask for no sweetness) and liked it a lot with a great taste as well as refreshing. Looking at the topping section of the menu under the snacks/croffle area, I saw custard and asked for that on my croffle. I was quickly informed, short version, that the custard was not actually available as a croffle topping so after the explanation I decided on going with the default topping which was a lot of whipped cream with powdered sugar. I did take off a majority (not all) of the whipped cream and powdered sugar and enjoyed the croffle itself as a nice snack (in the future I would ask for no powdered sugar). I would definitely visit Purple & Pearl again for a refreshing beverage, I enjoyed the strawberry lime tea choice very much.

Feng Cha is an excellent, tea forward boba tea shop. I am a big tea snob and need to taste the tea…read moreflavor over all the sugar and toppings and Feng Cha really delivers. They're one of the few places Ive been to that offers lactaid as a milk option and I truly believe lactaid is the best milk for milk teas, so I absolutely love this option. The staff is very pleasant and kind, however they weren't very knowledgeable about tea. When I asked what type of black tea they used, all 3 employees were perplexed and said "it just says black." Upon tasting it, I could tell it was Ceylon, which is one of my favorites, but I do think the employees should work on being a bit more educated on their products. The store itself was setup really great for a group of a few friends and sit and chat while they drink their tea, however the chairs and tables were definitely "used", if you will. Not falling apart but a bit grubby. Overall, the tea quality is so good and the atmosphere good enough that Ill keep going back.

Tried Feng Cha's new Ube Matcha latte for the first time, which cost around $8 with the boba at 75%…read moresugar level, and I was slightly dissatisfied. First, here are the positives: + Combination of ube and matcha give the drink a Dubai chocolate-like taste. + Fast and more friendly (compared to a few times before customer service. + Relaxing atmosphere with bright and welcoming decorations. And here's a major negative: - For an $8+ drink (including boba), the size just does not justify it. Base price without boba is around $7 but wish they included a free topping already. Compare that to Bobo Baba - which has similar price range - you just get more bang for your buck there. Would I order this again? 50% sure just to let my wife and her mother taste it for content. But me? I might stick to Feng Cha's brown sugar and mango drinks, which were more satisfying.

My mom wanted boba and we were in the area so we stopped here on a Saturday. Well it's Sunday and…read morewe are back. This is the only place she wants even though there is a place right around the corner from us. I decided to try one and I see why. They have so many choices and toppings, I made me a salted caramel milk and added all different types of boba. It's very clean everyone there is nice. They play good music while you are waiting and it always smells so good in there. They have probably two tables and a long bar, they don't sell food but some little cream donuts. I would highly recommend them!

You order through a tablet, although I think ordering directly from the cashier works too. I got the Lychee Green Tea with Lychee Jelly. I initially wanted to not pick a topping as it cost extra, but there did not seem to be an option to opt out of that. I also got my drink with 75% sweetness and 100% ice. The drink tasted alright. I probably could have kept it at 100% sweetness to taste more of the lychee flavor. Overall, it is a cute little spot for boba.

Pros: cheap, broth is good on its own but can be oily. Perfect amount of broth, meat, toppings…read more Fast friendly service! For NC, this place is solid. Cons: egg roll meat is cooked first? Then lightly fried? Idk why they do this but the meat tasted off and the egg rolls wrapper were very stale. I would t get egg rolls here, doesn't feel homemade Ambiance is super cute and ordering is fast! They have self serve water Our main gripe is that we are from Southern California so it' was really weird to have that type of egg roll served. Also the rare beef is sliced very thick compared to the west coast. This causes it to be a chewier bite than we are used to. Flavors solid but the details are what makes you better than others! We typically go to BEE BANH MI but their con is that they close early NC has many cons

The original half/half has a perfectly crunchy outer texture with the soft cheese top and hot dog bottom. I'd recommend the spicy mayo if you can handle a slight kick because it worked well with both options.

They treated us with respect care and love when we entered the GM clearly runs an amazing restaurant and has a staff of passionate wonderful workers.

I'd go so far as to say it's the heytea or Molly tea of the triangle area. It could be a long wait depending on the time you go as sometimes you could be stuck behind a large takeout party order. There's a wishing tree inside the shop and they provide you with free wishing cards, pens, and strings to tie yours onto the tree. Not too much seating but people usually grab and go so place doesn't get too crowded usually.

With customizing the ice and sugar added level, you can get the drink that suits you the best. A large menu selection and pleasant service here (although a kiosk ordering option is available as well). I enjoyed it! The Deets: While doing some errands at McCrimmons Corners, I spotted this place and decided on a refreshment stop there. Even on their own items, I've seen this place as BenGong's Tea and Ben Gong's Tea which supposedly means "Her Majesty's" Tea in Chinese. I went into the quaint, bright, inviting bubble tea shop and saw that you can order with staff or by kiosk, a plus for those of us that are not "kiosk friendly" yet. In looking at the menu, I spotted the Green Grape Sparkling Tea and went with that one. The staff member was pleasant and helpful taking my order. I ordered with less ice and no added sweetness, with the added fruit in it the sweetness was just right for me without adding extra so good call. The tasty bubbly tea was just what I wanted, I liked this drink. I did notice afterwards with their online menu that the "toppings" included with this drink are crystal jelly and lime slices, so I think I might ask for no crystal jelly next time. Also of note is that their containers are very sturdy with a good sized portion as well (as they are not the cheapest beverages but again, good quality). My tea came out in pretty good time, I thought, but did I did see others waiting around a bit for their order so it may depend on what you actually order on how quickly you get it. I'm glad I stopped to try out BenGong's Tea and won't hesitate to visit in the future when needing a bit of refreshment.

I had Citizens Pops at the annual Food Truck Rodeo in Downtown Raleigh, NC, and it was amazing…read more There were so many people walking around with the popsicles it sparked me to want one. The server was really nice and knowledgeable I couldn't decide which popsicle I wanted and she help me choose. She said that the pineapple was popular but she liked the lime mint and that's what I went with because it sounded extremely refreshing. The popsicle was soooo delicious. It was refreshing and just enough of mint and just enough of lime. The popsicle was so good that we went back and got a second one this time the strawberry + cream and that one was just as good. My husband and I wondered if we could buy them from a store. Overall great popsicles, refreshing and perfect for a hot day.

Tried for the first time today after being told that I MUST try bubble tea…read more Upon entering I was immediately greeted and asked if it was my first time there. It was, so I was given a tour of the shop and was explained on how the "system" worked. I decided to order the Mango flavor bubble tea, as bubble tea was my intention for the visit. Though I was very tempted by all the yummy yogurt options, so I think a return visit will be very soon!!! They had some wonderful fresh flavors of yogurt and even some odd ones that still looked tasty, like Taro. Huge and I mean HUGE selection of toppings! Anything from candies to chocolates to nuts to granola. A bar full of fresh fruits that all looked perfectly ripe and fresh. And then another section where you could add syrups and powders to your yogurt. My bubble tea was made to order, I would have loved to have seen them make it in front of me just to see the process. They make it in a back room instead. They had several flavors to choose from such as Mango, strawberry, coffee, green tea, taro and several others that I can't remember. They also make bubble tea smoothies, but they suggested I try the original for my first time. As for the bubble tea, yumm!! It's sweet and creamy and cold! Not too sweet, you can tell its just sweet from the fruit. I would have liked it to be a touch colder but maybe the smoothie style would satisfy that for me. The tapioca balls at the bottom make for an eye catching drink. They don't have much of a flavor but are fun to chew slightly and swallow. I also wanted to add how NICE the staff was!! So welcoming and lots of smiles!! I loved that! The store was spotless! Everything clean and fresh looking. Not a drop of sticky anywhere!!!! Lots of seating including outdoor seating which will be nice on cool nights. Good work citizen yogurt, I shall be back soon!!
