This is hands-down the best place in Arlington (and maybe even DFW!).
Fresh tea (excellent black tea, etc). Excellent milk and cheese foams. Fresh fruit seltzers, innovative combinations like dragon fruit.
Very flexible about custom combinations, happy no be flexible with zero sugar, no ice, boba in coffee, etc.
Definitely try the cheese foam and the fruit seltzers with bobas for a decaf option!
The service is also VERY friendly an exceptional, always a smile and a sample of this or that. They go the extra mile.
The place that really sets this place apart is the boba, it is always perfectly al dente at all times of day. Other places are less reliable (sometimes it is too soft or undercooked).
As part of the reporting for this review we tested most of the menu over several weeks, and visited at random times (close to opening, close to closing), under various disguises as to make it harder to ascertain the identities of the investigators.
Ask for Ivy or Beast.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreYay! Another tea shop to satisfy my cravings! My palate got to experience something different & new. I came on their first, soft opening day... it wasn't too busy and I received exceptional service. The staff was very eager to help me choose a tea for I'm very particular about what I like. I got the rose tea (hot) with matcha milk foam & a ginger tea (also hot) with sea salt milk foam to-go for my sister. Both were delicious & hit the spot! My sister's drink had actual, fresh ginger bits and she said she thought she'd never like any tea place more than Gong Cha, but I guess I proved her wrong. They didn't have any baked patries, yet... but I'll definitely be back soon to try them along with their other fresh teas. Check this place out... it's always exciting to wake up those taste buds (oh, I forgot to mention that I came back the very next day to get the exact same drink again......
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI have never written a review for any boba place but I felt like I had to write one for this place since I drink boba almost every single day.
This place is modern AF. Itās legit like the IKEA of boba. Iām a dude and I have to say, itās hella cute here. So take ya girl, sip on some black balls, and enjoy yourselves.
The boba is HELLA GOOD. Now if youāre a generic milk tea drinker from places like Bethanyās, yeah this aināt it chief, not for you. The tea is fresh, boba is fresher than my morning breath, the first sip is colder than my ex girlfriend, and the foam is so smooth that it can steal your current girlfriend.
Everything is high quality about this place. The people, the cups, the toilets, the napkins, everything.
Probably my new favorite boba spot in Arlington. I havenāt even been to the Richardson one but I know that place doesnāt compare to this masterpiece of...
