The Urban Pearl — Restaurant in Fresno

Boba is so competitive right now and this place falls short. There is much to improve on. Service is top notch and they really tried to make our drink the way that we asked. There needs to be a balance with the sweetness levels. Popular places have gotten down the whole sugar level. Here, they're not sure of the sugar level and don't offer that option. We were told all our drinks have a standard of 50% to 75% sugar level. That is a very wide margin. All our drinks were very sweet. I really wanted to like this place and the roasted oolong milk tea was our favorite. We also ordered the mango passion fruit and the golden vanilla coffee. Both of these were very sweet. I would hate taste what 100% sweetness level would be because at 50% to 75% standard level it's at a diabetes on wheel already. To the owners, please get your sugar levels balance. This wouldn't be the first place I would suggest to anyone. The atmosphere is really nice though and it would be a great place to come and hang out with friends. The ambiance is...

The pictures on their Instagram were very promising. It reminded me of omomo in SoCal. However, the tea here is much much too sweet. I got osmanthus oolong milk tea 75% sugar, mango passion fruit tea 100% sugar for myself,and Ube taro milk smoothie 75% sugar for a friend.

The mango passion fruit tea was good. The other two milk based ones were too sweet to taste anything beyond the sweetness even at 75%. I ended up having to brew my own tea to mix 1/3 of the osmanthus oolong milk tea with 2/3 of freshly brewed oolong tea to make it passable.

2 stars since only 1 of 3 drinks is drinkable without modification. With these prices (3 cups came out to be $20), I...
