This business needs to be run better. If you've never tried milk tea, try another place. Mismanaged. Food poisoning; edited expiration date to cut corners; don't take a gamble like I did.
Located at the corner. Highest drink prices I've seen (Summer AC? Manager?) App rewards becoming less rewarding (Leaflation). Plenty of parking, even during the holidays. Nice decorations and design. Seating quantity is limited. Seating quality is above average. The low lounge chairs are comfy. Irregular WIFI access. Functional outlet near almost every table. Okay place to study as long as you don't need the bathroom. Tables can be dirty and sticky. They don't play Christmas music in November and January!
Cons: Ice servings are inconsistent; order without ice. They gave me FOOD POISONING by changing the EXPIRATION DATE; I thought it was an honest worker's mistake, but when I got home I found out it was my mistake when I was exploding on the toilet all day. Customer service never got back to me... Irregular WIFI access. Boba is slightly over cooked, quite mushy. Honey boba isn't sweet (at all) like the name suggests. Sometimes I feel like there are 4-6 workers at any time and wonder how busy it actually is back there for a drink store to consistently neglect the customer tables. Sometimes there's hardly anyone here and the customer tables are still dirty; while staff hangs out in the camera room. A few seats aren't comfortable. The business is ALWAYS cold, bring a jacket or sweater. Hot drinks come with less liquid but have the same price. This place isn't optimal for large groups due to seating limitations. Often too much milk and not enough tea; the milk often overpowers the tea, they need to fix the ratio or be more consistent. Workers are slacking. Took over 20min to make my order while no customers were there; staff was hiding in the back. Bathroom floor could use a clean bucket of water to mop the floor; the perimeter is stained with dirty mop water. Only one bathroom for customers, the wait can be very long (rare). The customer area has boring music, the kitchen's music is sometimes better.
Customer toilet has a bunch of dried splattered fecal and urine stains, no one wants pics of that; I'd give weekend staff a negative tip if I could for experiencing that. If you have thick thighs or extra skin, you may end up touching the grotesque bowl. You aren't paid to feel comfortable at work, you're paid to make the customers feel comfortable and enjoy themselves; if you don't feel comfortable, that's great, it means you have room to grow. I have no idea why the employees check the bathrooms multiple times an hour, all they did was confirm it's disgusting and leave, absolutely absurd! If the business cleaned the bathroom, you're welcome :) Edit: the next day the worker(s) made a desperate attempt to quickly clean it for (upper) management, but the feces was so encrusted into the ceramic that about 30% of it was still there, like a crown with brown jewels. It was so stuck that I wouldn't be surprised if the toilet was left crusty for over a week. This place is being mismanaged or needs a manager.
They aren't able to control the sweetness very well; I think it is because the tea batches are pre-sweetened and the only way to dilute the sweetness is to give less tea and use more milk, or the milk is sweetened so they have to give more tea? It could be a consistency issue.
Overall: Maybe an okay place to try if you've never had milk tea. There are better places in the area if you do like milk tea. Asaam is probably the best because the flavor of the tea is harder to overpower with milk, but it has been on the weaker side. Maybe an ok place to hang out if you don't care for the bathroom or lack of service. Customer toilet is quite gross, don't look for details. Sometimes an okay place to study, as long as you don't need the bathroom. Getting your own table can be hard!!! I wish tables were cleaned more often. 1 of 2 milk tea businesses I know of who use real taro!!!!! (The other place is slightly far,...
Read moreCustomer service was very rude and unprofessional. I had ordered via app and was informed that honey boba would be 30 - 40 minutes and asked for a refund on boba but instead she refunded my whole drink at this point I got my other 2 drinks and left. I reorder my boba drink after 40 minutes and my husband went in this time to pickup and they informed him that they were out and he took the substitute item offered. The employee went to the back and started to talk about me and my husband heard her and asked Emily to please cancel the drink and refund my account. This is not the first time we go in the morning and you are out of items. If store opens at 8am you should be ready to sale all items at 8am not have employees coming in at 8am and then start getting items ready. Management needs to train this location and show them how to be professional with customers. Removing app and taking a trip to Lee's instead for my...
