    Two boba teas. One milk tea with mango flavor and rainbow jellies. Second banana flavor tea with rainbow jellies.

    Needed a sweet and cool drink to refresh on an uncommonly hot day in Alaska. Drinks were made fresh to order. Service was expedited, very quick. No wait. They take tap pay, cash app and USA dollars.

    My husband & I are in town visiting family and we would've never thought we'd find a boba place in Juneau. My husband got the taro with boba (right) and I got the matcha coconut with lychee jelly (left). The taro was SO good!!!! It tasted just like Magnolia ube ice cream!!! We originally had just ordered those two drinks but went back in before leaving the lot to buy another taro and avocado for family. The interior was super cute and cozy as well! There's a large table, a comfortable couch and some books and board games to play. Don't miss visiting this place if you're local or just visiting!

    Beautiful decor, wonderful ambiance, friendly service, & tasty tea! What more can you ask for?!

    Timer to let you know when tea is fully steeped and a pot and cup YOU choose for sipping at the tea house!

    Wonderful atmosphere! Cozy couch, fun games, adorable tea pots and cups to choose from, TONS of tea and boba options, and friendly employees! I wanted to try something new and the man at the front gave me a rundown of some I should try based on my love of early grey and chai. Would recommend!

    This is a fun little shop with great ambiance, board games, upbeat music, and a wide assortment of teas. You can get hot, iced, fruit, creamy, or milk teas, and you can add boba, fruit jellies, etc. to some of the options! I love the variety, and in addition to teas, a food and sweet dessert is offered each day. Both times I've been here, the food was a turkey croissant with a salad, which I'm sure is delicious but it's unfortunate the food option isn't vegetarian friendly. We tried both the chocolate cupcake and the carrot cake, and both were light yet decadent. Based on these two experiences I'd highly recommend the desserts! I've definitely had much better bubble tea elsewhere, so going forward I'd likely get an iced or hot tea instead after trying both the taro and vanilla rooibos bubble teas. Despite the "just ok" bubble tea, the staff is super friendly and helpful, the vibe is perfect, and the options are plentiful. I'd frequent this spot if I lived locally, even if only for a piece of cake and a nice space to play games :)

    This place is an awesome and delightful establishment. They have an eclectic array of Teas. You can blend you teas together in one pot. The seating area has couch and comfy seating arrangements. Pick your tea, a kettle and a cups.

    Bubble tea topping bar. Pick a cup and add how much bona, lychee, etc. you want to add

    Came for the Final Friday bubble tea bar. Cozy shop and plenty of coconut flavors (coconut matcha, coconut rooibos). I wasn't quite sure how the bubble tea bar worked, but he woman behind the counter was happy to explain to me (fill up your cup with the various add-ons and they'll add them to your cup. I got the boba, mochi rice balls, and coconut lychee jelly. They have various flavors of both fruit and milk teas. I got a blend of the strawberry fruit tea and the coconut milk tea. I was told that the coconut would curdle when mixed with other teas, but that there's nothing wrong with it- just the appearance. It wasn't until she started making it that I realized that they also had coconut and almond milks (which I prefer mostly for flavor). Oh well, something to keep in mind for next time. I had thought it was half off teas for happy hour, but I guess those are on other days and this was just for the bubble tea. It was the normal $5.25 for a 16 oz small with tax, but with unlimited toppings (unlike the usual 75 cents per toppings). Good flavor combination and reminded me of the boba I would get years ago. A great end of the week treat

    My new favorite place in Juneau! Exhaustive list of quality teas. I love greens but today I ordered a personal pot of Iron Goddess of Mercy Oolong. My favorite part of this tea experience was getting to pick out a tea pot to use for the service and then a cup. The gentleman who served me was so kind and helpful. The tea was served in the tea pot I chose on a cool green tray. I also bought biscuits to eat with my eat. The groovy music and eclectic furniture made me wish there was a yoga studio next door so that I could have a yoga/tea day. I spent over an hour hanging out and reading a book called "Green Tea" from the Book Shelf. Part way through flowers from a nearby business were delivered to celebrate Final Friday. Over all a super groovy and unrushed tea experience. I had a second pour for my tea that was more delicious than the first and tasty English muffins to go with. There was other small plate options that I will try on my next visits.

    Chamomile mint tea.

    The Honey Cinnamon Late!!! Yes it's as sweet, flavorful and smooth as you think it should be. Steamed milk bass is so good.

    This is a place that deserves better than a three plus star average rating. I visited The Grind…read moreCoffee about 4 times while visiting Juneau. All visits were positive. I like that they offer freshly baked pastries to go along with various coffee drinks they serve. This is a standard coffee shop that doesn't have a dining room. It's all window service. They're located directly across from the tram in downtown Juneau. Perfect for grabbing a coffee and pastry before heading up the tram or walking Franklin Street in downtown Juneau. I didn't try their coffee yet. I may grab a cup before heading out of town tomorrow. Each visit I bought a baked goodie for a dessert or breakfast option. I like that their baked goods are individually wrapped and neatly placed in plastic cubby hole containers directly fly in from of their coffee stand. It's grab and go. Don't forget to pay before you go! Each staff member I spoke with has been friendly. They come across as polite too. Not the "just pay your bill and leave us alone"mentality. I recommend this place as a coffee or coffee and pastry option. They're reasonably priced as well. Will visit again before I leave town.
