Tea Friends — Restaurant in Menlo Park

Parking was very easy during opening hours since there were barely any customers in the plaza.

Staff were very friendly. The odd part was there was no menu posted anywhere--not on a wall, screen, or even on a paper printout.

We tried the strawberry matcha with caramel salted cream a taro milk tea and a honeydew slushy ! A deliciously refreshing pick me up! I found my new favorite boba tea place

Originally I blamed the staff entirely, now I'm ashamed to have overthought their intentions. Probably just bad luck. I'm also learning my lesson, in general pay for no ice, it's simpler and what I like best. 3 stars because the boss...
