B & B — Restaurant in Lincoln

The wife, kids and I have been here many times to get their Boba as well as their pastries sometimes. Today I got Taro tea with boba, a chicken alfredo stuffed bun, and 5 cookies (per my wife's orders).

Starting with the taro tea: I'm not going to say I'm an expert on taro, I've had it a few times and definitely enjoyed it. Had it as a boba tea as well somewhere else, so figured this would be good to try as well. Well, it did not taste like taro at all to me. The tea seemed to not be mixed enough as it had a graininess to the texture of it. The flavor was more floral than taro I would say as I didn't taste taro at all. My wife's taro tea however tasted more like taro and wasn't as grainy (which is weird because I think it would be the same mixture maybe?). I will stick to my regular milk tea from now on personally as it's amazing every time I go there.

The chicken alfredo stuffed bun looked interesting and I figured I would try it out. The price was a little bit on the higher side (wasn't posted) but didn't deter me from getting one. The overall flavor of it was good, not amazing, not great but just good. One of the big drawbacks is that they are in the same display as their sweets. My first bite I actually tasted their cinnamon bun flavor as it permeated into the flavor of the Alfredo bun. When I went in closer to smell it, you could definitely smell the cinnamon bun frosting scent on it. It did not blend well with the chicken alfredo. The chicken was decent and the alfredo flavor was seasoned well. But I couldn't get over that cinnamon flavoring.

From what I'm told by my wife the cookies were better last time. This is my first time getting their cookies so I didn't know, but it was more of a cake instead of cookie. As well before they used chocolate chunks but this time it had chocolate chips (not too big of a deal imo). However, a cookie shouldn't be cake like, otherwise might as well get one of their pound cakes.

Overall this visit was not up to par, and I will maybe have to pass on their...

I have had so much bubble tea this summer, it's kind of insane honestly. Now that I'm in Lincoln after visiting all the way from San Diego, there are even more places that I want to try, and B & B was on my list of places to try which are in the area!

I got the Tropical Icy with boba, which is basically just a slush. The colors of the drink mixed with the boba actually match perfectly with the bee on the cup which I just noticed and thought was really cool. Anyways, the drink was super good! It was really refreshing and bold in flavors because I feel like I could taste every component in the drink. I do have to say that the actual boba in this drink was amazing! I truly have not had bubble tea that has had boba taste so good before, and that's saying something because I have had a lot of boba in my life.

I do have to say that my drink was on the sweeter side, and some of the boba was slightly undercooked. It's all good though because I still haven't gotten over how delicious the boba was.

Overall, I really likes this place, one for being like the only bubble tea spot in town, and because of the delicious and refreshing drink. Next time I would definitely want to try some of...

The place itself was nice and clean. Their tapioca pearls were super overcooked and tasted like they’ve been sitting for a day or two. The drinks were sub par at best. We had ordered a Thai milk tea, tiramisu milk tea, mango icy, and a sunshine paradise tea.

The customer service my sister, her boyfriend, and I received was honestly so disappointing. It took a little while before anyone finally came out of the back to the register. And the store didn’t have any customers inside. The boy who did finally come out and was at the register was almost refusing to acknowledge our presence. We had ordered and the young girl who handed my sister her drinks was so impolite. Thankfully I had a blonde girl who was very nice to hand me my drinks. We sat down and more people came in. And I noticed the immediate change in the boy at the register when it wasn’t BIPOC customers he was ringing up. I’m not one to ever review a place for this and one star it since I’m used to it. But I have never felt so unwanted in a boba place before. We will never be going back...
