I don't think I've ever walked into a boba shop and immediately thought, "wow, this feels like an…read moreexperience," but here we are. The place was SUPER crowded when we arrived, but the line moved surprisingly fast, and there was even a kiosk to self-order if you didn't want to wait for cashier checkout. Efficiency aside, one of my favorite things was honestly the smell of the space. While waiting for our drinks, there was this fragrant tea aroma lingering in the air--you could genuinely smell the tea despite all the cream, milk, and sweetness floating around. As a tea lover, that immediately won me over. The place was also exceptionally clean despite how busy it was. I kept noticing employees consistently wiping things down and cleaning as they worked, which weirdly made me trust the sanitation here even more. And can we talk about the drink design? These drinks are SO cute. The intentional sticker placement over the lips, the little carrying handle--everything felt carefully stylized. You could tell they weren't just trying to make something flavorful, but something memorable and visually fun. I never thought I'd say a drink was Instagram-worthy, but these felt like the supermodels of the boba world. Even the receipt paper somehow felt luxurious (yes, I'm seriously mentioning receipt paper in a boba review). That tiny detail made me realize how intentional every aspect of this place feels. Nothing here felt accidental. Dong Ding Oolong Tea w. Fresh Milk - Very mild and creamy, almost like a mellow latte. Not my personal favorite, only because I had eaten way too much creamy food beforehand, but I genuinely loved the tea profile here and could absolutely see why others would adore this drink. High Mountain Pouchong Tea w. Lemon Juice & Mousse (Creamy Lemon Tart) - After all the sugar I had earlier in the day, this absolutely HIT the spot. The tartness was perfect and super refreshing. The cream had little bits of lemon zest mixed in, adding even more citrus aroma and making the drink feel brighter overall. I also tried adjusting the sweetness while ordering and was told it had built-in sweetness--but they reassured me that if it ended up too sweet, they'd gladly swap it for another drink. I genuinely felt like I was dealing with Amazon's generous return policy. Thankfully, no return was needed because this drink was perfect. Creamy Mango Tart - Literally the Lemon Tart, but mango. I loved this just as much. Both tart drinks felt refreshing and balanced, and instantly became fan favorites for us. Overview--I love, love, LOVE this place. Like... 1000/10 levels of love. From the experience to the drink quality to the sheer intentionality behind every detail, I couldn't be happier with this visit. I'm also ridiculously happy to hear one recently opened in Houston because I would LOVE to bring my cousins here someday. Would go back in a heartbeat--this has officially won the spot for my favorite boba place.

Definitely worth a try. I discovered today their Cassia Black Tea with Cream (bubble milk tea) is…read moreone of my favorite drinks. The honey tea latte was great too, it was light and refreshing. The drinks took about 15 minutes to come out, which is perfectly okay, because they actually brew the tea instead of using a pre-made powder mix like most boba shops. I appreciate the cashier letting us smell all the different teas and giving us helpful recommendations. We will be back for sure!

That's an A+ because it's a great place to live close to. It's a cozy space with seating to relax and enjoy a nice cuppa. You can buy anything from tea (they have an incredible selection) to teapots, teaware, tea gifts and so on. Tea flavors available that are hard to find elsewhere and really just somewhat special. The Lady Lavender white tea is my go-to. The White Blueberry is my second favorite. I run out of them both quite quickly at home. But that's ok because it's an excuse to come back and try other offerings while stocking up and stopping to enjoy that said cuppa before heading home.

The space isn't huge so I could see it being pretty hectic and not relaxing when they're busier on weekends. We found the service to be super friendly and helpful! Overall had a great experience, I'm not the biggest tea person and don't have a discerning palette for tea, but I love trying wide variety of new things so going for a flight of different teas certainly caught my attention. I liked that the flavors were pretty bold and easy to interpret. Given the quantity of tea the prices feel very reasonable. If you're even mildly open to tea I'd definitely recommend giving them a try, but I'd err on the side of going when they're less busy

They also have about a dozen ice cream selections with toppings. [There are other selections, but I only went here for Froyo and Ice Cream.] The owner was on-site and she was very accomodating/helpful. It is difficult to see this shop from 290 since it is a bit set back and in the middle of a small strip center. Turn on George Bush St and go behind the strip center to get the front. Leave on George Bush St as there is a light and 290 is very busy in this area. Manor TX seems to be "happening" with a lot of new shops/an HEB/Home Depot and much more!

The one aspect that really surprised me was the consistency of the boba. On the day of, boba was chewy and bouncy. I didn't want to chug the drink at the end of the night so I put it in the fridge. To my surprise, the boba was still chewy the next day! Most boba would have hardened. Awesome place, will visit again.

I was wondering why it came out so fast and that it wouldn't be good since it was likely already pre-made, however it tasted great and Milk + tea has secured another customer in me.
