    Butterfly vanilla

    Tried the pastel sunshine, the butterfly Vanilla and Royal Milk teas... they were all delicious! Had reduced sugar on all of them. Service was friendly and fast. Ambiance was very chill , could definitely come here to study or just hang with friends. Will definitely visit again !

    hong kong milk tea + great study ambiance!

    I love West Straws! I'm so glad that Lubbock has a small privately owned boba shop. Of course I enjoy some of the corporate ones, but it's nice to support local businesses, and West Straws makes it easy to do so. Their teas are so fresh and delicious, they have a HUGE menu including specialty drinks so if you like to try new ones, you'll have a lot to choose from, and everything I've had from them has been great. Their boba is ALWAYS fresh, which can't be said for some of the chain shops at times. They have a cute little indoor area, it's a bit narrow but they've always had plenty of tables when I went. I've studied there twice and the atmosphere was really good for that, but it's also nice for people coming to chat with friends. They have a couch / comfy seating area as well, so you have seating options. Writing this review is making me want to visit right now. Highly recommend!! The Hong Kong milk tea was delicious, as well as the royal milk tea and thai tea - I'm looking forward to my next visit so I can try something else, which I'm sure I'll love!

    This is the first boba place I have encountered that offers both great boba drinks and the type of atmosphere where you'd want to meet up with a friend or date and stay awhile. Nothing in Austin or the other places I have encountered compare. They offer a great variety of boba drinks including several with earl grey which I confess is my weakness. On a recent visit I had a Lavender London Fog with Boba and my son had the Mai Tai (non alcoholic) with Boba. The boba was not the best i have had but it was pretty solid and I loved it in my London Fog. This was such a relaxing spot that we decided to stay and play a round of chess while we enjoyed our drinks. In addition to several tables with chess boards they also have several other good casual games including Blokus. The tables are cute and the chairs are comfortable and there is even a small couch if you are lucky enough to snag it. I'd definately return here the next time I find myself in Lubbock.

    Amazing selection of flavors, super friendly staff, and a gorgeous little location. My personal favorite tea is anything with taro in it, but you can really mix and match anything! They have slushes, milk teas, regular teas, smoothies, and even macarons. This is my go to spot for boba. It's also conveniently pretty much a straight line drive from LCU if that's where you happen to be.

    Worst Boba in town and the Macarons are store-bought. Do not recommend. The cashier was nice though.

    He-Brews was the first local coffee shop I ever went to in Lubbock. During my freshman year, my…read morefriend was visiting Tech, and I went with him, my sister, and my at-the-time girlfriend who was visiting with them. I liked how secluded He-Brews was from the rest of Lubbock, right in the heart of prairie dog town. It's hard to get distracted from studying if the only thing around you is dirt. I've been to He-Brews a handful of times since then, having nice conversations with a friend over coffee, getting some studying in when I needed a change of scenery, or last week when I decided to revisit He-Brews while in town. I think the space is cute and cozy. There is plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. This time I ordered their Lavender Haze, a lavender and honey macchiato. I thought it was a little too milky compared to the espresso, and it lacked much nuance. It was fine and I finished it, but it really wasn't special. They also have a Christian radio station, KWBF, under the same roof. I have never once seen the station's broadcasters inside the studio while I'm in there, but it is cool to have it in one place. Because of this, you may hear Christian Contemporary Music playing inside He-Brews, which I don't think is inherently wrong, but it is maybe the worst non-secular music to exist, so be prepared with headphones to hear literally anything else. If the macchiato you order is inspiring you to go deeper in your faith, I'd recommend checking out Numero's Good God! Apocryphal Hymns for some much needed fellowship that actually has something to say past the three minute mark. I am not really sure why He-Brews needs to be so strongly associated with its religious method. Nothing about coffee is inherently Christian, but a lot of people deep in faith love to open a cafe. I really don't think opening a coffee shop as a Christian is even a bad thing. I think providing a place of comfort is a great mission to have as a follower of Christ. It's just that they don't advertise any fellowship or promote any charitable concepts. Instead, they have a WiFi password of John 3:16 and say they are inspiring growth. I want to buy it. I want to believe in it, but it all feels surface level. As I left, I noticed the massive load of campaign yard signs outside their building. Nothing says following Jesus Christ quite like endorsing candidates. It's like they realized how good a pun of He-Brews would be and everything else is just trying to make the name work. Maybe that's just me though. RIYL: God's favorite latte

    The environment is very relaxing sitting next to a pond and walking trail without anything else…read morearound, yet it's still close to downtown and Tech. The staff was friendly and moved quickly even with a line on Friday morning. Prairie dog mounds exist on two sides of the building, so it's fun to see them. They are shy, so don't walk to them, but bring and throw some baby carrots out for them! The outdoor patio is huge with a beautiful view of the water and greenery. Parking is all dirt and gravel. If you need a drink to-go, make sure you tell them when ordering because they serve drinks in cute, non-disposable latte cups. I only gave 4 stars because the latte was delicious, but not sure it was the strongest. The He-Brews signature latte is delicious!
