The shop is in Asian Square plaza, same plaza with Sweet Hut and Kamayan. I visited on a Sunday morning and the whole plaza parking lot was packed. It's very difficult to find a parking spot. Mostly because more than half of the shops in the plaza area are restaurants.
The boba tea shop is right in front when you walk in the door. It's a combo system restaurant. Inside the place, the left and right are the restaurants, and the boba tea is a small shop in the middle. Because the boba tea is right in front after you walk in the door so the space for the line up is kind of limited. The placement of the self-order kiosk also makes it challenging for the ordering process. The kiosk is right in the cashier area so there are several people packed at the cashier while others are waiting in line. I was in line for a while until I realized you can just come straight to the cashier to order, instead of waiting at the kiosk line. The kiosk line is right next to the cashier so most people will think that's the line to wait for ordering.
There's only 1 piece of paper menu at the cashier which is full of people standing there to do kiosk orders. If you stand too far from the shop, it's not easy to view the menu on the light board on the wall behind the shop. Later while waiting, I saw lots of the boba tea shop menu at the table of the receptionist for the restaurant. But they won't give it to you if you don't ask, and people won't ask because they think the reception table belongs to the restaurants, not the boba shop.
The staff are friendly. They have a diverse menu but there's no option for non-caffeine milk tea. I got:
Rose jasmine milk tea with cheese foam (they call it white foam here) and crystal boba: the taste is okay Ube mochi donut: too sweet for me but my bf likes it. Double coconut panna cotta: the texture is not a thick jelly line but more falling apart.
I'm not a fan of the can package drink. It looks cool but doesn't work so well for me. I broke the ring on the can when trying to open my milk tea at home, and had to use a knife to open and lift the can lid off, unnecessary struggle for drinking a milk tea.
Overall quality of the food and drink are alright. I will come back to try the...

I like that it’s organic, loose leaf teas and using real fruit. 💜 Must try their chewy ube cheesecake bao and ube mochi donut 💚 I love their matcha mochi and oreo donut too. It tasted incredibly delicious and you don’t feel bloated eating them. 🎁 They also offer catering orders for future holidays.

Read moreThis place is located in Asian Square, where 99 Ranch used to be. Very cute decor with novelty drinks and desserts. Limited seating.
It was a bit difficult to navigate the kiosks. We couldn't find the seasonal drinks that were advertised on the flyers on the kiosks. We had to order these at the register.
The drinks were very pretty. The sparkling ade was refreshing. The boba was standard.
We enjoyed the coconut panna cotta. The peach oolong crepe cakes was lacking in flavor.
We would give 4 stars, but there was dried glue / a piece of plastic in one...
