I usually pick up tea from Dragonfly Tea Zone at the weekend market, but I recently realized they…read morehave a physical location closer to me. Since I haven't been able to make it to the market lately, I decided to check it out. Overall, the space is very clean and well-kept, and the atmosphere is nice. I especially enjoyed the experience of picking out my own tea, weighing it, and labeling it myself--it felt much more personal and relaxed compared to the usual rush and chaos at the market. That was definitely a highlight for me. I also tried their mango peach topper smoothie and added chamoy and Tajín--honestly, it was so good. I definitely should have gotten a larger size because the regular just wasn't enough. That drink alone is worth coming back for. The only downside was the customer service. The staff member I interacted with wasn't very knowledgeable and wasn't able to answer my questions. At the market, I'm used to staff being helpful and able to guide me through different teas and their benefits, but here, most of my questions were met with "I don't know" or "I don't work with the teas." She did point me to a section on the wall with some information about the teas and their benefits, which was helpful to a point. However, there was one term that appeared on several teas that wasn't explained on the wall, and she wasn't able to clarify it. I ended up looking it up myself, which wasn't a big deal for me--but I can see how that could be frustrating for someone new to loose-leaf tea who's relying on staff for guidance. Overall, a nice location with a more relaxed and personal shopping experience, but improved staff knowledge would make a big difference.

I stopped in here after attending a Yelp event down the street…read more As the former owner of a tea bar, I'm serious about my tea. I liked Dragonfly and hoped to like it more. I grabbed an iced, unsweetened, black tea with some passion fruit popping boba. It was very good. The tea was strong but not bitter. A good brew. I was very happy about the self serve teas. They have a nice selection I was very excited by the fact that they carry Pu-erh which is not found in a lot of places. It's a very robust black tea. And they had regular and two flavors. I wound up picking out 4 to try but then my boyfriend pointed out the sign painted on the wall that if you buy 5 ounces, you get 1 oz free. I thought well, I'll just grab 1 more and get a free oz since there were a couple more I wanted to try. When I went to pay at the counter, I was told that was an old sign painted on the wall and there is no such deal anymore. It's literally a huge sign right where you measure out your bulk tea. It should be removed because I wound up buying 2 extra teas I would have waited on if I hadn't thought there was a deal. I probably should have argued more about it but the store was about 15 minutes from closing and it was obvious the young woman running it was ready for us to leave. The shop is cute but the false advertising really brought down my review. I hope they will get that changed so others don't have the same disappointing experience.

It's definitely something for me to get again. I have been slowly going through all their unique premade drinks. I haven't yet found any other place in Kansas City area that sells the diversity of options here. It's really so much more than your typical boba place. The space is small and they have some cute little vending machine games.

I ended up getting the creme brulee coffee with added brown sugar crystal pearls, the creme brulee dessert, and the mochi waffle. All of it was absolutely incredible! The two desserts were completely on a whim and I'm so happy I decided to get them because those will now be desserts I dream about for weeks to come. The creme brulee coffee is deliciously strong-tasting and I'm in love with the creme brulee coffee. The brown sugar crystal pearls were new to me, and I've come to find it's an acquired taste (which I'm finding myself slowly being acquired to). The creme brulee was perfectly creamy and decadent, and the green grapes that were added on top were a surprise at first, but now I'll require every creme brulee in the future to have grapes on top. The mochi waffle was INCREDIBLE. It's huge, first of all - enough for two servings for sure. I was afraid the flavor would be bland, but it had the perfect amount of sweetness, plus the chewy texture was something I'm going to crave.

I attempted to order online but they shut down online ordering fairly early-it was well before closing, so I headed there to order. The individual who assisted me was friendly and the restaurant seemed very clean. They have cute decor. I did take my order to go because it was getting close to close and I didn't want to be that person. I ordered a ton of things. Eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach but I don't mind leftovers. I started with a couple of appetizers. The first being the sugarcane shrimp patties: Shrimp patties delicately wrapped around sticks of sugarcane, presenting a harmonious blend of savory seafood notes. They come three to an order and were interesting. I liked the texture of the shrimp patties and they did have a good flavor. Would I get it again? Maybe. I also tried the fried lobster balls. Those come 5 to an order and were exactly what they said-fried balls of lobster. They were also good but they have several other appetizers so I would probably opt to try a few more things out. They have Korean corn dogs and because I've never had one, I decided that needed to change. I ordered the potato half and half-half dog, half cheese. It was huge. Like way bigger than I thought. I liked the potato outside, it was crispy and tasted like a giant French fry. Lots of cheese and the dog was a dog. I don't regret getting it but I would have to be in the mood to get one again. It was fun though. My favorite item was the grilled pork croissant: butter mayo, house sauce, jalapeño, cucumber, and cilantro with pickled radish and carrot. It was so good and what I will definitely return for. The pork had great flavor, the veg was a crunchy, refreshing flavor and the croissant was so flaky and delicious. My only complaint is that it got a little soggy on the way home but I popped it in the oven and voila! First world problem solved. Highly recommend. Finally, I had to get a boba tea. I went with the mango milk tea base and added mango popping boba. It was refreshing and delicious. I like that you can really customize your drink. I had a sip of a Thai tea with brown sugar boba and that will be what I get in the future. So good. I will definitely return and I highly recommend that you try it out.
