This is a good place when you’re looking for a place to chill and catch up with your fiends. There are plenty of seats and some board game that you could use! It’s really clean here too ! They serve ice cream and bubble tea here. If you love bubble tea, they do have a reward program that you can join and get free bubble tea after a certain purchase. The design of the bubble tea cup is adorable (the lid of the cup is a shake of panda) and you get to keep them ! The server was really nice and friendly. It doesn’t take too long to get your order too. My favorite so far is their match bubble tea with match boba!! Give it a try. There’s limited parking at the front of the restaurant. It wasn’t super crowded during evening time when we were there.

It was kind of tricky to find because of the direction we came in from, but it is located near Drake University, so you can drink while touring! The place was clean and the moment you step in, you can smell the strong milk tea smells. I ordered the Hojicha Milk Tea and I must say, it tasted amazing! My friend ordered the Lava tea and that was delicious as well! The bobas were soft and chewy and both drinks were great. Would definitely recommend for boba lovers and new tryers!

We got the Taro and Thai milk teas with regular black pearl boba. I’m not sure if it was because we placed our order later in the day, near closing time, but the boba tasted a bit old and grainy. The teas were good, but the boba was gooey and kept causing the straws to get plugged. Some people like their boba like this but I prefer mine to be a bit harder and chewier. The cups were cute though! We will probably try again earlier in the day and see if it’s different!

Went there multiple times before, and recently I ordered a drink with no ice & full cup option (they charge extra $0.6 for that) they still gave me a cup full of ice, and I thought it might just be a careless thing so I wasn’t worried about it. BUT few weeks later the second time I went and did another drink with same option they still gave me cup full of ice? Honestly I met similar things at other boba places and they either help me to remove the ice or replaced a correct order for me. If this place doesn’t care what their customer wants in the drink why bother to put those customization options...

In the past, I’ve had a couple problems with this place. Including very slow service, and my black pearls not being served fresh (rather hard not chewy). I can definitely say 8 Degrees Ice Cream and Boba has improved. I am very satisfied with their service especially during the pandemic with everything going on right now. I am pleased that they have pick up in the shop/curbside pickup. If anyone is looking for a place to try boba, definitely come here in Des Moines to try it out. My current favorite drink is the Hojicha milk tea with black pearls, and...
