This is the original Z's location, shared with The Terry Melt. I used to visit decently often since it was the only boba shop within probably 10 or 15 miles. I always found it to be pretty average boba and on my most recent visit, my impression hasn't changed very much. Milk Tea, Original, Black, Lite Sweet, Lite Ice, Large w/ Boba ($6.00) - The drink tastes strange. There's almost a bit of almond essence flavor mixed in with some fruity undertones on top of the dairy creaminess. There's barely any tea flavor or astringency. It feels like this drink is made from powder and maybe they accidentally use the same scoop in multiple containers, which means the drinks get a little contaminated with off flavors. Not a great drink overall. The boba, on the other hand, is actually not bad at all - in fact, I feel like they've improved through the years. The boba used to be exceptionally hard with no chew, but it's now just a bit on the firm side for my tastes with a decent chew. They are soaked in a sugary syrup that helps balance the boba against the sweet drink. (3/5) They charge a 3% service charge even if you order in store rather than online. There still aren't a ton of boba shops around Dearborn and Dearborn Heights, so Z's certainly isn't a bad visit if you're in the area.

I needed some bubble tea- I was getting hot and stressed from holiday madness and wanted a break from EVERYTHING! The grey outside, the dry heat indoors, the heavy Christmas flavors... cue Z's Bubble Tea located inside Caravan. It is colorful, bright, and cartoonish inside, inspired by comic book art! I was greeted super quickly at the counter. I went for a lychee fruit base (needed a break from dairy) combined with iced green tea. Light ice, light sweetener (I love that you can specify the ice and sweetener levels, especially with bubble tea! Personally, for the price of these things I want plenty of room for tea and bubbles!) I opted for lychee bubbles and something new in my repertoire: aloe vera jellies! They made me feel healthy ;) I've been seriously scoping out the juice, tea, bubble tea, and smoothie scene around Dearborn and have yet to see this boba option. The cup was cute and the drink was made both accurately and speedily. If you want a quick dopamine hit that transports you somewhere tropical, get a tea-based, non-dairy bubble tea, and for like... $7, watch your problems take a chill pill. Lychee feels particular fun and exotic, plus aloe? My dry skin says thank you. I'll be back!

This place is like a two parter, there's the Terry Melt and Z's bubble tea. You have to cash out with two different transactions if you want both. I did get both because obviously I needed to try both! The bubble tea was bomb! I had the passion fruit black tea with mango stars and normal sugar. I didn't know how to feel about this place, but to my surprise it was so good! The sugar level was perfect and the mango stars were so yummy. My only knock on this place is how expensive it is. I do think it's a little pricy, it was almost $5 for my small drink, but I do think it's worth it. Very good!

Fast service! Amazing boba! Super friendly service! Located inside of terry melt. We ordered three boba drinks mango moxtail, strawberry and brown sugar boba. Spent about 23 dollars. In my view totally worth it. Nice and clean place, plenty of parking available.

Very yummy bubble tea! You can customize your order to just what you like. It shares a spot with the terry melt which also looked delish. Will be back

I was able to check this off my list last weekend. I ordered the taro and coconut milk tea blend. The honeydew is my usual go to but I ventured out today. The young lady behind the counter suggested it and says people sometimes blend flavors. The flavor was good but not as good as my usual. Also, I would have preferred it being colder. It was heading towards the warm side.

Masks required, staff also wearing masks during COVID-19 times. Staff was friendly, patient while we decided what bubble tea to get. Clean and nicely decorated. Green tea, pineapple infused, with mango jellies , no sugar is what I had (I think? I'm new to this) it was refreshing. Strawberry with mango stars was good as well. Nice to see sugar free options, you also have a lot of bubble tea options for flavors. Salads looked good but I didn't try one today. I'll have to grab one next time!

Accidentally vegan! If the person working the counter was correct, anyway. They use powders, no milk is actually present. Service was quick, tea was tasty. Hidden inside Terry's Melts. Decent parking in the plaza.

Probably the only good milk tea around honestly besides some places in Windsor. 4 stars because I wish they would have different milk options for those who are lactose/ allergic . Otherwise, the Honeydew milk tea is my favorite, I like to get it with less sugar since it is already sweet.

Super easy online ordering, and they kept my drink cold in the fridge until I got there. High quality ingredients make for a tasty bubble tea experience. I'll definitely be back for more of this spicy mango goodness!

I wanted to give a full 5 star rating for this. I contemplated between a 3 and 4. Not because of the product but because of the wait time. The blended Thai milk tea was delicious. It's great to have a boba tea spot so close to home. My drink was very flavorful and just what I'd expect of a Thai tea. The drinks I'd completely recommend and would visit again. The only problem was the wait. I placed my order for 12:15 earlier in the afternoon for pickup. The drinks weren't ready until about 12:55. Again I'd order again but not during Ramadan . Considering that I put my order in so early, 40 minutes is way too long to wait.

This place was a pleasant surprise! I got the Thai Iced Tea and I had high expectations since I love Thai tea so much and this place didn't disappoint! I got a large and added sugar and got black tea! It definitely had the sweetness level that I like.The color was also perfect so it was a good sign. The only thing is that I would ask for extra ice and stir it really well before you put your straw in. I could taste the powder/gritty sugar a little and it was not cold. So stir and extra ice and you should be okay! This place isn't exactly cheap but you're paying for a boba place being in a Dearborn area so I'll forgive it lol. My drink was a little over $6. I would come back and get this again!

My favorite spot to get a frozen taro milk tea. They also offer heated igloos outside for outdoor seating.
