My family and I are a huge fan of this place, the owner is very friendly and welcoming to anyone who walks in her Boba cafè. But today's experience was the worst. It appeared to be a young youth who is managing the shop, he was friendly but still appeared to be judging my sister and I the whole time he makes our drinks.

The milk tea was a standard powder... Not bad, not great... (I like real tea flavors), similar to California's Lollicup or Quickly back in the days. Did leave a fake sugar film in my mouth though
The boba was chewy but clumped together (as the guy scooped it in my cup I can tell it was stuck together like they didn't put enough syrup in the container) so I didn't finish it, not to mention he put a decent amount of boba in my cup.
So place is standard, there are other options like taro and smoothie. If I was in the area, I'd probably stop by...
