The boba from here was the worst I’ve ever had and a total waste of money. I ordered two drinks—one classic milk tea and one taro milk tea. The classic was drinkable but still only ‘ok’ at best while the taro milk tea was so bad that it went straight to the bin. The tapioca pearls were really hard like they were either not cooked enough or had been dried out from being old. While waiting for my drinks, I could see a female staff making my taro milk tea behind the counter. I saw her pour the finished tea into into the cup, but the tea only filled the cup 3/4 of the way so she topped it off with an additional 25% water without mixing or shaking it afterwards. I assume this was done just to make it “look” like it was a full drink, when really it’s super watered down. How do you expect a drink to be good when you pour a bunch of water on the top of it without even mixing it in? When she handed the finished drink to me, you could see 2.5cm of water sitting on top of the milk tea. That kind of behaviour really shows that taste + quality do not matter here at all. Even after attempting to stir the water in myself with a straw, the taro milk tea was far from enjoyable. Both teas were watery. The taro milk tea had no flavour and tasted only of grainy & powdery water. I wish I had read the recent bubble tea reviews on this place before I went because they’re all spot on with how bad they say the boba is. The shop replies that their bubble teas are ‘appreciated’ but it doesn’t seem like that at all from the reviews and I definitely didn’t have that kind of experience. I hope that the shop really overhauls how they make their bubble teas and considers what their customers are saying in these reviews..theres a reason people are saying it’s bad. There aren’t many shops that sell bubble tea in Cambridge which makes me so disappointed that this one...
Read moreHonestly wanted to like the place but couldn’t because even with waffles and hot chocolate looking really good, a sticky table and unpleasantly smelling towel a waiter ‘cleaned’ it with ruined the place for me. Pros Big, and I mean BIG portions, waffles are enormous and sinfully loaded with chocolate/caramel/different toppings An adorable doggo called Levy - he slept and snored while my friends were enjoying the waffles. I wanted to pet him but was afraid to disturb the good boy ☺️ Nice and friendly staff. They were kind to let us stay and chat for quite a long time after we were done with our food. Thank you! Cons The sticky table. Yuck! The waiter cleaned it but the towel used was smelly and dirty. We spend around three hours there. The doggo was sleeping nearby and even with him looking quite okay, I was a bit worried. There was a water bowl but nobody took him outside for a walk during the time we were there, a lot of people touched and pet him, there was constant noise. Maybe Levy is fine with it but I got the feeling he is not living his...
Read moreFor starters, I got 70p off my drink because im broke, which was really nice of the guy.
I went with my sister and the owner(s) were quite interesting. They made us laugh (unintentionally i think) multiple times and once we left the first time, we went back because it was a nice, friendly atmosphere.
The street it is on was lovely too. We watched a young lad throw his phone down some stairs and the owners were very sympathetic towards him.
One of the workers there, i think his name is Connor, looks like Jake Peralta from Brooklyn 99 and the other one looks like Bowser from Mario kart, but with glasses. The one that looked like Bowser tried to stop my older sister from using her gas tank because he thought it was a vaping device. He was wrong.
This review is mainly intended for the owners to see. Thank you for letting us sit in your shop, sorry for the waffling (pun intended), have a good night.
Ps- we'll be back next week.
Also i hope you enjoyed your £35 cigar while watching the...
