    Classic black milk tea with boba
    Christina S.

    Visiting from the West Coast and had to get some boba here! It was quite delicious, I would recommend their classic black milk tea. Good prices for pretty big cups. Workers were very kind as well! Also, I noticed the place was very clean :)

    Impressed by the speedy service and cleanliness of the place! The boba was delicious, and the environment was spotless. Would definitely come back!

    I came here today because I keep hearing it's the best. It's easy to find at the end of a shopping center. Once inside there was one lady working and few people waiting for orders. Likes: The place itself was very clean and nicely decorated. The very nice young lady working there was working hard to get orders out and was still very courteous and nice. I ordered a fruit tea with mango boba and it took a little while but she asked me to try it to make sure I liked it and it was amazing!! It made my whole day.. you had to be a little patient but she was so nice and drink was so good it was worth it! Dislikes I can't say there was anything at all I didn't like.. the wait was a few minutes for sure but the quality far outweighs time it took.. I will definitely go back the next time I'm in town!!I can not thank the owners working there enough.. they work well together and the tea was delightful!!

    Arrived here at about 2:00 p.m. on a Friday. They were making more boba so it would have been a half hour wait. Luckily they have other toppings besides boba. I got a classic black tea with NATA jelly (lychee based) and 50% sweetness. There's only one size available (around 16oz). The drink was good, but I've had better. I did like that she didn't put a lot of ice. The drink is pricey at $7.25, but guess that's similar to boba places in big cities. The owner was very nice. She made the drink super quick. I'm glad that there is now more than one Boba place in town with different options. They don't have as much seating (indoor only) compared to the tap tea bar at The Pointe. Hopefully they can figure out a way to have cooked boba readily available at all times during their open hours.

    My girlfriend and I have been going to this spot for a year and half now. Never have been disappointed anytime had been there. Best Quality Boba! amazing flavors! Milk, tea, smoothie, shake teas and alllll natural flavors, actual fruit, pretty customizable in terms of flavors and sweetness. We have been there enough to be regulars. So much that our lovely friends have remembered our order. We love this little boba shop. We love you friends!

    Thai tea boba
    Nancy P.

    I really enjoyed my boba tea. I like that it wasn't made from a powder and you can control the sweetness. I ordered the Thai tea boba and it was perfect! There were so many options- I'm looking forward to heading back and trying a fruit based drink and asking about the different types of boba. The woman working there was very helpful and said that she could add sweetness if I wanted. To me it was perfect the way it was. This is a great addition to Wilmington.

    This little hidden gem is officially my favorite place in Wilmington for Milk Tea/Boba. As the menu shows, it really is the only spot to get authentic Taiwanese style milk tea. Definitely recommend the brown sugar milk tea with cheese , but the fruit teas are delicious too! I really appreciate that they brew their tea in house (vs using the premixed powders). If you're not familiar with salted cheese topping, this is the place to try it! If you're a fan of the foam at Starbucks you'll like this even more. I'll definitely be back regularly! I just wish it was closer to where I lived.

    Hidden gem in Wilmington found by a google search. Ironically they had just opened that weekend! Cute decor and super clean inside. It's a large enough space considering I've seen all sized boba shops in Jersey and NYC- to walk ups with no seating. Convenient location in shopping center -Right off Shipyard Blvd on way back from CB to Jacksonville and so glad to find this new Boba spot in Wilmington. Owners moved to area from Queens and to be a boba addict since living in Jersey City-NYC region spoiled by good boba spots and this met my boba cravings while visiting Eastern NC. Legit boba shop where you pick sugar and ice levels. I got 2 boba drinks -classic milk tea and lychee green tea with jelly for later. They also have cutest sealed tops with unique quotes. Can't wait to visit again!! They have all the top flavors and prices are similar to boba shops been to.

    I love this place! Been on the search for good boba places in Wilmington and this one definitely hits the mark. The boba is high quality and all the drinks I've tried are amazing and are worth the price. Pretty sure they make their boba and teas in house which makes it even more special. Everyone in this shop is so sweet and they create a nice and calming environment whenever I come in. Last time I went they even remembered me from last time and thanked me for coming back. Definitely a spot that's worth checking out!

    Mango Slush with Boba
    Mia O.

    Located in a nondescript plaza, I drove by it and decided to give it a try. My usual boba tea place, The Tap Tea Bar at the Pointe has gone downhill. The Boba Tea Factory could use more decorations, more of a welcoming vibe. I'm sure that will come with more time. We tried the classic thai tea with boba and a mango slush with boba, both were excellent. I have to say they do not skimp on the boba unlike the Tap Tea Bar. I've ordered extra-extra boba at the Tap Tea Bar and they just give you another spoonful. Here at The Boba Tea Factory a good 1/3 of the cup was filled with bobas without having to ask for extra-extra bobas. As far as taste comparison, I usually get a mango frostea from the Tap Tea Bar. Lately it's been tasting like a vanilla shake with a hint of mango. At the Boba Tea Factory I got the mango slush because they didn't have a mango frostea (mango milk shake). The mango slush tasted like a real mango, big mango flavor and had tons of boba. The Boba Tea Factory is my new go to place, sorry Tap Tea Bar....there's a new kid in town!

    This place is great! Our family just moved to Wilmington. I loved Boba Tea growing up and this place reminds me of my childhood. Truly authentic and great tasting. The owners are super kind. I'm pretty sure I'm come here weekly it's so good!

    How close is is it to Carolina beach?

    It is about a 15 minute drive from Carolina Beach. Probably a bit longer in the summer with traffic.

Menu on the TV screens inside has such a small text size. Guess they expect customers to have eagle eyes. The menu is not exactly clear in what the toppings are. Only 2 table for seating. There is more bar type seating than tables. No outdoor seating. They have an app you can download. Assuming you can order through the app. You can see the bowl prepared in front of you. There are three different bowl sizes from 12oz ($8), 16oz ($11), and 24oz ($15). It's more expensive if you get their signature bowls versus build your own bowl. It was very busy on their grand opening day so waited just about half hour to order and almost 20 minutes to receive my order. Obviously the staff are still figuring it out, but you would think with 5 staff making the bowls it would have been quicker. Ordered the sail signature bowl and added granola since they gave out coupons for a free topping. The bowl wasn't that good. Not sure why they called a granola, because it was more like toasted Oats. The açaí was still in frozen chunks and the Chia seed glob was in a frozen chunk. The coconut butter crumbles were not impressive, more like crumbs. Well, at least the fresh fruit was fresh. Definitely better açaí bowls elsewhere so I wouldn't bother coming back here.

    Service was great- lady working was super sweet. I ordered just an acai bowl and was unfortunately…read morevery disappointed. I love acai and it was probably one of the worst I've had. Has whole almonds in it, and the berries were not blended well- I would get bites of the full, frozen acai berries (seen pictures on top of the banana slice in the photo). Consistency was very off. Also, super expensive for the size. Pretty small bowl and paid $16.50. I could get a larger size for cheaper and better elsewhere. Nice atmosphere, lots of sitting, connected to the coffee shop. I would love to try their lotus energy drinks next time and would go back for those; they seemed great and had lots of options. I just definitely wouldn't get the acai bowl again.

I told her it's wonderful to see a business focused on organic fresh pressed juices! She also makes an assortment of lemonades with different flavors either to your liking or based on what their menu has. They are a full service beverage bar promoting healthy lifestyle! They have fresh organic juices, cold press and otherwise, fruit and vegetable smoothies, herbal teas, frozen drinks, nutritional shakes where you can add protein, etc., as well as wellness shots. The wellness shots can range from apple cider vinegar to cayenne pepper for immunity support. They had a variety of juices that they also bottle for you to bring home as well. really fantastic space very excited. It's come to the area and looking forward to being back.

    Parked in the small free parking lot (limited 2hrs? Per main website of skyline center)…read more It was a little hard to find the front entrance since there are multiple doors. There was a sign stand on the ground. Made a left at the sign and walked a few steps down and made a right when I reached the small tree/bush to the double door entrance. Skyline Cafe is essentially a duplicate of Brooklyn Cafe. Owner was nice and welcoming like my last experience at Brooklyn Cafe. There were small tables in the cafe itself and some chairs with personal tables joined to the chair by the front entrance. There were also a ton more tables around the corner but looked like it was a cafeteria/lunch break area, separate from the cafe. Coffee beans are organic from Hampstead. Wasn't a big fan of the coffee (had a drip) but I enjoyed the Ollie's donut (cake donut made with mashed potatoes) and cheese and jalapeño Kolache (Czech yeast pastry) with sour cream. Flavors of the donut included coconut, vanilla, chocolate, lemon. The donut was perfect to pair with coffee. The kolache was warmed up after ordering and was filling. There was a display case with to-go items such as Chobani Greek strawberry yogurt, coconut overnight oats with strawberry chia seed jam, dragonfruit chia seed pudding with coconut milk, and the Kitchen Sink sandwiches. Bathroom is down the hallway by the health clinic. No changing tables or high chairs.
