    Several people in our group enjoyed the bubble tea here! * My Thai ($7.95) - 4 stars Tasty. Soft boba, thick smoothie/milk tea.

    CHEESECAKE is delicious. It didn't get all nasty talking about the cake still cake its form. Favorite new Boba spot from here on out.

    Boba is terrible. If you think this is actually good, then you haven't had real boba! The balls weren't cooked properly -- some of them were hard and only have chewy. I ordered a taro swirl and it only had some light lavender color but zero, absolutely zero taro flavor. This was basically sweetened milk. Ordering was through an app so a couple of young staff were making the drinks. This is the only boba truck I can see in the Spark Social area so you might be tempted by the menu like I was -- but don't fall for it!! $7.25 gone

    Strawberry valentine
    Sydney J.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while, so today I ordered a My Strawberry Valentine, less sweet no ice, for pickup. They have a SnackPass kiosk/screen there that you can use to order on site as well. The shop is located among the Spark Social food trucks, in case you want to get food at the same time. Even with lower sweetness, it was still very sweet (DoorDash only has the option to select "less sweetness," so you can't specifically check 0%, 25%, 50% etc. in DoorDash). The quantity was okay but the prices are pretty high for boba. I drank it quite quickly, probably because I was hungry and thirsty at the time and I also have a sweet tooth. It really did not look like what was pictured on the menu when I picked up the drink, but that may have been due to strawberry topping sinking into the bottom of the drink. It contained some cute heart shaped jellies. I do appreciate that they offer some less common drink ingredients/flavors, like drinks with dragon fruit, cotton candy, and butterfly pea flower, and plenty of non-caffeinated options.

    As the only boba tea in Spark Social, they get a lot of business. They have a few different options, but not much customization (no sweetness or ice level) aside from choosing some toppings. They do have almond milk as a substitute if you like. Tried their "Oh Taro" and oh my goodness is it sweet. I wished they decreased the sugar by at least 50%. They also don't mix it well either so by the end, you are just drinking milk. The boba were actually not bad though!

    I LOVE the Jasmine boba, not too sweet and I tried the Taro for the first time the other day and it was really delicious. Great for when you want a non-caffeinated option. The people that work here are always pleasant too. I usually grab the tea to go but it's nice to sit on the swing chairs and enjoy!

    The boba was chewy, soft and sweet but the drinks themselves were just okay. We ordered 5 drinks total and the average rating among the group was a 3.5.

    Yum! I'm definitely liking this new boba spot that is closeby AND on doordash! At first I was worried because usually the really instagrammable and colorful boba drinks are also REALLLLLLY sweet. Luckily for me, I saw they had an option to adjust sweetness and with a "less sweet" option, it was actually the perfect amount of sweetness for me! Preferred sweetness! The Cloud Boba was really good - when you order on doordash, it doesnt come with cotton candy on top! I kinda wanted the cotton candy but I'm cool without it cuz...well, the sweetness aspect of it. Is this sounding redundant yet? lol. Anyhoo! Note that if you like really soft and squishy boba, this might not be the place for you. the boba in my drink was on the harder side, but I kinda prefer it that way. No gripes here! Yayy!

    Maybe we came on an off day, but it was a Friday evening and there were only 3 or 4 other customers the whole 20 minutes we were there, so.... We wanted to grab a drink before an even and settled on a Cloud 9. We tried using the kiosk and got to the end but there was an error. When someone did take our order, they didn't ask anything about ice or sweetness level as the kiosk had...ok. As we were waiting and dad asked his probably 12 year old son if he wanted a drink while they were walking by and the kid said "Nah ,the cloud 9 tastes like s***". We laughed a little because we had just ordered that and because the kid was so blunt. That was the only smile shared while at Virtual TeaKup. The kid was right. The few other people waiting had their orders forgotten (as did we) until the same guy who took our order asked us what we were waiting for 10 minutes later and then had someone start making our drink. There were 3 people inside and only 3 orders while we were there so service was very disappointing. When we did finally get the drink, it was not as cute as advertised and just tasted like cream and sugar. It was very disappointing. Like I said, it could have been a fluke but from the experience, that seems doubtful.

    Thai tea with crystal boba
    Jojo P.

    Like the convenience of boba right in the Spark Social food truck park. But that's essentially it, convenience. Their drink was on the ok side and disappointed they ran out of brown sugar boba so their crystal boba was a substitute option. Their drinks didn't stand out from the many boba shops out there so hits average for me. I'm willing to give it a another chance but wouldn't go out of my way to seek this place out. Just ok: My Thai

    Maruko X.

    The boba tea truck is located near the entrance of the food truck park, and it has a lot creative drinks, and the order of My Thai was great. The cashier was very friendly, she ran outside of the regular brown sugar boba, and the replacement of crystal boba was as great, it costs less than $10 per order.

    Flashy truck!

I don't normally drink a lot of boba, but vacations are for treating yourself, right? The crème brûlée milk tea was basically dessert in a cup. You could actually taste and chew on little bits of torched caramelized sugar throughout the drink. The boba itself was perfectly cooked, soft and chewy. And then there was pudding in there too! Every sip had me going "ooh" and "ahh" as I discovered another delicious texture. The only downside was that the drink only comes in one size, and it was a bit too much for me. I was genuinely sad that I couldn't finish it. That's one of the reasons I don't order boba very often. I can eat way more food than I can drink liquid for some reason.

The drink was also lightly carbonated with just the right amount of fizz. The menu wasn't as extensive as those of the larger, more established boba shops, and I wish there had been more fruit-flavored teas - especially for the summer. Nevertheless, I can't wait to try other tea varieties on my next visit.
