Big fan of boba places so I was excited to try a new place that opened near my home and I would have to say, too much was put into the decoration and the atmosphere of the place and not enough attention was placed on the menu pricing and the speed of service.
I ordered the fresh milk with osmanthus rice cause I like osmanthus and thought it was infused into the milk and a mango complax which sounded interesting cause it was a hot day and I wanted a drink for my gf and I. Honestly disappointed that fresh milk costs 6.50... when I got home and drank it, my reaction was... I paid 6.50 for literally milk and a little fermented rice. Yup, not doing that again, too overpriced for my taste buds. The mango complax which I ordered for my gf at least had a bit better flavor, but I realize the bottle choice they went with does not make any sense, why have a soda tab when you're going to stick a plastic straw into the drink... Not saying it'll happen, but metal scraping off micro-plastics could be possible.
Yeah, with grand opening there was a discount for second drink, but I can't imagine spending the premium on a normal day of $13 for 2 drinks pre-tax when it takes 30 minutes to complete 4 orders, mine being the 4th order.
Things to consider fixing, the price point, way too overpriced for the area. Take boba time for example, 2 blocks down, 25% difference in pricing. With 2 drinks, you are paying a 50% markup. Get rid of the soda tab bottle, it doesn't make sense to drink from a soda tab bottle with a straw especially with toppings at the bottom of the drink. Provide more training. I understand it's newly opened but I went to another boba location that opened last week with lines packed, they were able to push out quality and custom drinks in respectable time. Here, 4 orders, equating to 7 drinks and 1 order of sticky rice balls. Lets say 8 drinks per hour, averaging $7 per drink, that's still only...
Read moreI actually enjoyed three different drinks here recently. I'm goofing around with some video editing software and I needed some fodder. 😅 Every one of these drinks was fantastic and I would order each of them again. They have the kiosks that you can order from which I'm a huge fan of and they had non-dairy options which, again, huge fan. My favorite was the Thai Black Tea Latte w/ Oat Milk, Boba, & No Sugar (You have options here so this is my highly customized preference) but the Matcha Strawberry - Ceremonial Japan (I order matcha all over the place and not all matcha is created equal and this matcha was spot on ✅👍🏼💚)and the Passionfruit Jasmine Tea we're also too good not to come back for. I didn't try the shaved ice( aka bingsu/bàobīng/빙수/刨冰) but they do have it on the menu and I'll be back for that as well. 🐽😅 It's worth mentioning that the staff here is always as sweet as the treats. This cozy little spot is also tucked in right next to the FedEx Print and Ship center so if I'm lining all my ducks up in a row I can finish some work here, print and ship it next door, and then meander on over to the farmers market on a Thursday afternoon. I probably should have gatekept that agenda little harder but it's too good...
