Teapioca Lounge — Restaurant in Edmond

I’ve been wanting to come here for a while, but most the time I don’t have extra time to extra change to spend on a drink. Today I decided to stop in.

The first issue was when I tried to call the number wasn’t working and there was no way to call the store, no big deal, but kind of odd.

I ended up going with the usual drink that I get when I get boba, since there was a large menu and I didn’t look before I came in. I’ve never really had an issue with honeydew milk tea, it’s usually really refreshing and I love it. I was asked if I wanted boba, and I appreciate that, since I’m not a traditional boba fan, and I decided to skip the other boba types for this time.

At first the honeydew milk tea tasted fine, but it was the aftertaste that was horrible, it tasted like artificial butter. I tried to drink it multiple times but I couldn’t get over the after taste. I brought it back and the server said that she agreed that she thought the cream tasted like “vitamins” and agreed to make me something else.

My second drink was some type of lavender fog tea, I tried looking at the online menu but the name is not on there, that I can find at least. I’ve had lavender a few times and I like it when it’s not overused. The problem is that the tea was steeped for too long, and I like my tea steeped over the usual time, but this was excessive. And then, the lavender was also excessive. The drink was a little better once all of the ice melted but my that time hours had passed and I no longer wanted it.

I probably should have went and got my money back after the second bad attempt, but it’s not worth it. I will say the staff is really nice, and the shop is really cute, but I do not plan on...

I’ve been a long time boba lover, and my experience here was rather dashing. I was met with a cold breeze that reminded me of the beginning of fall. I smiled. Then I walked up to the register. A nice man with long, luscious hair exchanged exquisite greetings with me. It made me feel wanted and I blushed. Here’s where the story gets rocky. He asked for my name. I said “Tyler”. The name given to me by my mother who got cancer 9 years back. It means the world to me. Now this may not mean a lot to people reading but I can’t stress enough how important this name is to me. He put my name as “Kyle”. As devastating as this is, I pushed forward and held back my tears.

There was a nice girl there though, she makes tremendous banana smoothies. I would like to get to know her better. She’s the reason...

I love the location on 23rd street ~ this one is much slower and I’ve had way more issues with orders not being correct here. Today I went in and there’re 8-10 people waiting in the lobby for drinks, while the girls working are gathered around the POS angry because the tipping system was disconnected and (as one put it) “we all just did this for nothing”. Only one girl was even still making drinks. I get it, they’re kids and it’s not a high paying job. I do always leave a tip (had the system not been broken I would’ve) ... it’s just a bit annoying to listen to when I just paid 5$ for a tea and am waiting several minutes past what I’m used to at the other location. I also can’t imagine the one girl who was still actually working to knock down the line felt very happy...
