It was nice to see a new boba shop close to my home. I was looking forward to cutting down the drive for good boba, but unfortunately, the drive will still be warranted. The shop is very clean, very well organized, and leaves plenty to do while enjoying your boba or some of the other items they offer. They have games and a nice lounge area that would make for a pleasant, low-key evening with friends or even a date. The customer service was great, but I feel she could have been assertive when I mentioned it was my first time visiting their shop. The questions I asked, she did a great job answering my questions, and was fully versed on the menu. One question I asked, which was very important to me: Do you use powder or fresh fruit with a touch of powder? Yes, they only use powder. I am not a fan of the powder; it leaves the drink tasting artificial, and that isn't what I choose to pay for. She did say, if you want some fresh (I did, and will always want that), their juices are the only fresh items on their menu. Dang it! Coconut Water: w/ Mango popping jelly This was good, and you can elect to drink it from the actual coconut or in a boba cup. I chose to get the cup, but I may get the actual coconut during the summer. Also, it has chunks of fresh coconut in it as well. If I ever get this again, I will ask if some type of flavor can be added. Eventually, the taste of the coconut water became a nuisance, and I threw it away. Vanilla pastry w/ whip cream and a cherry topping: This was not good; it was in a case with valentine pastries, and I have a feeling it has been sitting there since that time. I noticed in their Google review that someone else mentioned the same. The freshness of their desserts can be compromised by the items that are also shared, in that case, or by cleaning agents. When they're not tightly and properly packaged, the foods will absorb the surrounding odors. When I tell you it wasn't good, it was really bad. The cherries on top were not fresh; they were canned, which is okay, it would be the most logical thing. The cherries were stuck together, and the whipped cream didn't have the soft and fluffy texture; it was hard. The vanilla cream in the center tasted nothing like vanilla. The whole thing was a wash and also went into the trash. I feel like I'm chasing the success of Bambu (Asian Times Square) and looking for the same level of quality without that dang powder; it seems many places are using powder. To end this on a good note, I can't say I will not visit again. I'm interested in trying some of their other juices and a milk tea or two, and I'd be willing to stop by again for those. read more
