super glad there's a place that finally serves PERFECT boba every time on this side of town!
went two times this week; the first time, (Wednesday the 12th) i got a milk tea w/ boba (it was delicious, the tea rivaled my favorite boba spot and the boba was a close second) and there was only one person working with maybe 10 people in the store. his name was Peter and he was super fast, speeding around the store and not wanting a SECOND in order to fill requests. despite that, he got not only my order out quickly but also the 5ish other people in front of me.
the second time (Thursday the 13th) i brought two of my friends. this time the store was empty save for us and there was only one woman working (i wasnt able to catch her name) who got all 3 of our drinks out easily less than 5 minutes. i decided to try the matcha milk tea and got double boba, and my friends got Thai tea boba and rose milk tea boba, respectively. we all tried each others, and they were all delicious (I'll get the rose milk tea next time I go).
however, and I don't blame this on the store, the matcha was very strong (as it should be) and a bit powdery (not unbearable, and it might be like that always, I'm not sure), and after about half an hour the matcha began to hurt my stomach and made me feel sick. this could EASILY just be me and i dont blame the shop, but just know that the matcha is strong!!
the sizes are AMAZING for the prices; my favorite spot downtown has a cup that's the size of maybe your small, but a little larger, for around 5.30 or so, and the supersize (pictured) is 5.50. and the extra boba for 50 cents and a dollar is just wonderful, seriously. shop is less than a 10 min walk from my house. my mom also likes milk tea a lot, and wants to try their rose milk tea as well, so we'll be coming back soon along with my sister and her boyfriend. very...

Whenever I see a restaurant that has expanded and opened up a new location, it is on my radar to check it out. I fell in love with the first location, so it was a must to stop by. With all of these insane heat advisories going on, it was a true must.
When we first arrived, there was a sign on the door, so at that moment, I knew grace must be shown as they are truly short staffed. Which is so unfortunate. You order at the front counter, pay, and either wait or find seating until your order is called.
We opted for the Melon and Coconut Dream. Both were wonderful in taste and truly hit the spot.
Interior is quaint. There are a couple of seating arrangements. There still are some remnants from the previous establishment outside, so it may be confusing if you didn't know they changed to a new company.
Would recommend- pricing is typical for boba drink type places. I think the overall experience was good considering the lady behind the counter was very overwhelmed and very overworked. She was by herself dealing with several disgruntled customers. I think these moments people need to realize, you have to be kind to the person that decided to show up to work. It is not their fault that they have to do the job of 3 people. Grace and Compassion go a long way. JS
Location is Nellis / Harris -...
Read moreFor the second time, my friend was there at 8:39 and they refused service because "they were out boba" but obviously they sell more stuff they can sell more stuff. They said they were done for the day and She said is only 8:39 and they closed and 9.. and then he gave her an attitude so Emily with an attitude said "i guess we can sell you something else" More people starting coming inside and they were rolling their eyes and giving attitude. She told me about it because we had that experience last time. I don't think the owner wants to loose money just because they don't have some boba.
Went there around 8:50 and they were closed. The girls were mopping and cleaning getting ready to leave. And throughout the window they told us they were close... Bad!!! We decided to go to boba king and we got there at 8:55. Guess what ? They were super nice and took our order while they told their machine was broken !!.so they were going to take a little longer... But they were super fast!!.Wow!! That's great service unlike "no.1 boba ".
Or not no.1 boba. Not a great first experience. You need to hire people that wants to work and care about your Business. I guess something is not right with...
