Incha Duluth - Duck Ink Figurine Painting & Boba — Restaurant in Duluth

If you're a bubble tea enthusiast, Incha Boba is an absolute must-visit! From the moment I walked in, I was immediately drawn in by the cozy, inviting ambiance—it's the perfect place to relax and unwind. The menu offers everything from classic milk teas to more adventurous options like matcha and fruit-infused drinks. I also loved that their snacks pair perfectly with the drinks.

I tried the Jasmine Milk Tea with boba, and it did not disappoint. The tea had a bold, aromatic flavor, and the boba was the perfect texture—chewy and satisfying. As for the snacks, the popcorn chicken was hands down one of the best I’ve had at any boba shop! Crispy, flavorful, and downright addictive. I also tried their snack plate, which included fish balls and a delicious dipping sauce that instantly brought me back to my memories of street vendors in NYC selling fish balls on skewers—pure nostalgia. Another standout was the fried sticky rice, which stayed crisp even after cooling, with a flavorful filling that reminded me of Vietnamese scorched rice with pork floss.

The concept of painting figures while sipping on bubble tea is such a unique twist, and I haven’t seen anything quite like it here in Georgia. I had a chance to chat with the owner, and it turns out each figure is hand-made. The prices are very reasonable, and if there are any imperfections in a figure, there will be a small discount (you'll see the price listed right under the figure, so no need to ask). They offer a wide variety of small figures starting at just $3, as well as flat figures like Calcifer, No-Face, Pizza Cat, and Crayon Shin-chan, which can be turned into magnets, just ask the staff for a magnet for the back. There are also paired figures for couples or friends to paint together, plus plenty of adorable capybara figures!

If you're planning to paint and sip, here’s the smoothest way to go about it:

Choose your figure. Order your drink and snacks and pay at the counter. The staff will give you a paint palette—head to the paint/water section to get started. Pop out the silicone cup to fill it with water, and squeeze a small amount of paint onto the palette (a little goes a long way! I found that the more paint I used, the messier it got). Find a comfy spot and start painting. When you're done, ask the staff to glaze your figure. They have a designated spot for glazing near the paint station.

Overall, Incha Boba is such a fantastic spot to hang out with friends or family. I visited when they first opened and returned again a few days later on a weekday. While it does get busy on weekends, the staff does their best to get orders out promptly. If you're unable to find seating, they offer paint pots that you can take home and fill with ink to continue painting at your leisure—just ask one of the staff members.

I’m already looking forward to seeing what new figures they’ll add to their collection! This place has quickly become one of my favorite spots to relax, sip, and...

The first time I came here (opening night) I really enjoyed it but I went again last night for Valentine’s Day/night (with my son) and things have changed. I did like that they changed the arrangement of where the paint and water and brushes are, it made more sense to be in the back then up front but they also changed the prices of food and drinks. I spent $100 just for me and my son to have two little figurines each, two teas, fries and waffle, which is absolutely ridiculous. When the total came to $100 I said it out loud, I was like “$100???”. Also they were so packed that people were standing or struggling to find a place to sit and when I asked what should we do if we can’t find a place their answer was “wait or come back another time”. Their staff isn’t rude but they also lack knowledge of customer service, I feel like the staff the first night of opening were a lot friendlier and experienced compared to Valentines. Also, instead of them closing at 2am, they closed at 11pm and started rudely slamming chairs closed and cleaning up and abruptly shut the music off at 10:50 and there was still a full room of people in the place painting. I think you really kill sales and customers by doing that. We didn’t get to finish painting and instead of closing up so early and so rudely, I would stay open late like originally and I would announce kindly a few times within the last hour time reminders for people. Also, the food shouldn’t be priced the way it is, it’s tea and you’re charging $8-$10 for a small cup of tea, that’s a no. The waffle on a stick isn’t even good and the fries are regular fries that the seasoning was spicey. The prices do not match the food qaulity. I gave this place 5 stars on opening night but honestly after last night idk if I will be back which is unfortunate because the place is so cute and had so much potential but for me to drive an hour for this place, for it to now be overpriced, poor customer service and closes early...

Lovely place! I love coming and spending time here. For starters, the location is large, well lit, comfortable, safe, and super clean. The staff is so friendly,polite, and upbeat! They have a great selection of pieces to paint! Every time I go, I find new items to paint, so I never get bored. I love that you all have so many popculture pieces in addition to the adorable signature ducks and capybaras. Everything is priced very reasonably so I can afford to come often. The paints, brushes, water cups, and trays are all available, and once again, they are super clean ( even the brushes are always pristine which truly amazes me- I am very particular about having sharp fresh brushes to paint with). The space is spotless! They also have yummy drinks, boba, coffee, and snacks available. This store has their system down pat, you can tell that their employees are trained very well, and everything flows so smoothly. I love that they actually let you take your time to paint without rushing you, which is great because I always leave satisfied with my pieces. This is acrylic paint on plaster pieces. Because of this, the paint dries very quickly , and then they spray seal it with a spray varnish to seal it. I love that the varnish is ready and dry in about 15-20 minutes so you can take your pieces home the same day. I have come five times to paint since it opened. I actually prefer coming here to paint and craft over other similar places. Keep up the great work! I don't know who the owner is, but your staff is fantastic and you all are doing a...
