Very clean store, friendly family that runs the place.
Outside signage is sort of hard to read at a distance compared to the other signs in the plaza. (Individual letters cut out on the sign create too many shadows and make it hard to read). Free parking lot.
It's nice inside, bar type seating. No bathroom though.
Fun little 'create your own' lab theme by picking display syringes of syrups or vials of powder to be used for your drink.
There's a wall that has a variety of drink options. It works like this, pick a type of drink (any of the 8 squares on the wall; cold fruit tea, cold milk tea, cold slush, hot fruit tea, hot milk tea, yogurt drink, etc). Each square tells you what sort of ingredients you need to pick and put on the metal trays to give to the attendant at the front. For example, the 'Fruit Tea' square has 2 syringes in its description, so you pick two flavors of syringes (fruit flavored syrups) and any toppings you'd like and give it to the front. You don't pick any powders or sugar level. If you picked a hot drink, you'd pick one powder and sugar level or something like that.
Honestly would only recommend the fruit tea, pretty sweet, syrup from a container taste, but recommend it over the hot drinks. Smoothies are... Interesting. Nondairy creamer makes the consistency feel artificial but it's alright to pick sometimes. Yogurt drinks are nice. Don't know if any tea is actually used or if it's just syrups, but sometimes something sweet is nice to have. A lot of the syrups taste very similar to me, but it's nice to try a variety of combinations. I think a lemon's a nice pick to mix with other flavors. They come stamp cards for a free drink after X amount of purchased drinks.
They also sell snacks. Sporadically they seem to have themed events. I swear I've seen them decorate for various kpop boy band birthdays...
Read moreWhat a fun and unique bubble tea experience this was! The style of ordering is organized and clever, as what you choose is literally what you get. Upon entering there are rows and rows of syringes and test tubes. Each one is labeled and categorized by type of tea (milk vs. fruit vs. yogurt) with the amount already portioned out for an individual drink. Customers can mix and match flavors (within reason) and even pick out a syringe with a preferred sugar level! Then all you have to do is hand in your tray of lab experiments, pay, and watch them blend your concoction together and voila! The owner of the business is right up front and super friendly! If you want a tea that uses fresh ingredients, this is not the place to go to. But if you want a fun, interesting experience and a truly custom drink, this is the...
Read moreA very busy local teen hang out on the weekends, but definitely worth waiting in the line. The line moves very fast anyway and worth the wait. You can pick from a variety of fruit teas, milk teas, smoothies, & more. The way it works is you pick test tubes of flavors (I get almond and taro milk tea) then you choose your sweetness injection (I choose 33%) and then your petri tree dish of bobas (I get traditional tapioca boba). You set them on your metal tray and give them to the "mad scientist" server when you pay, to be created while you wait. The tables have USB hubs for convenience and they have board games and entertainment placed around the tables. The decor is set up like a science lab and I love the idea! The staff is great and they offer rewards for return visitors, so make sure to ask for...
