I have a few bones to pick with Jooy, but it definitely deserves 5 stars.
This was my second time at Jooy and I ordered the persimmon milk (with soy milk and cheese foam) and the mochi nā taro (with soy milk, cheese foam and extra taro).
Persimmon Milk: I really liked the cheese foam in the persimmon milk, and trying persimmons in a drink was refreshing. The only thing I didnāt quite like was how icy the drink was ā it gave me brain freeze. I would really love a cold persimmon-based drink without ice.
Mochi Nā Taro: The cheese foam in this drink was somehow different. It was saltier, and I canāt decide which one I liked more. The taro was underwhelming, and definitely wasnāt as good as Debutea or MogĆ« Teeās.
The first time I went to Jooy (over a year ago), I hated their tea base options. I wouldāve loved a black tea option without bergamot. So this time around I tried jasmine in my second drink. It was better, but still jarring. For a drink where the stars are the toppings, I would really want a tea base that would stay in the background.
Some more drinks ā
Cheezo Bobo: I ordered this for the very simple reason that it is the only cold drink with the āno iceā option that already comes with the cheese foam, and on DoorDash Iām allowed to add another portion of it. I got taro puree, purple rice and mochi as toppings as well and, to my surprise, they came in a separate cup. Loved the thoughtfulness! The toppings I thoroughly enjoyed, except for the rather generic boba. I still donāt like jasmine as a tea base though.
Cheezo Seasame: I love the name and the drink. I got it with sago and an extra portion of cheese foam. Iām obsessed with their cheese foam and the rich black sesame pairs well with it. I opted for soy milk instead of whole, but I did it out of habit, and wasnāt sure if it made any difference to the overall flavor. I would come...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI generally had a good experience with this place, and found most of their foods pretty fresh. This time however, after some walking, I brought my friend over to try it out and thought it would have been alright. The two ladies working there werenāt really friendly for some reason this time (I never seemed to notice this briskness before in the past). We eventually received our drinks and after putting the straw in, I noticed that the cap wasnāt attached very well, and some of the drink was overflowing. āThatās weird, what is happening today?ā I thought. My friend didnāt like the drink as much as I would have liked, and I was a little down. After going to my friends place, we found what seemed to be little pieces of plastic in the food. Overall it was not a good experience whatsoever. The workers were seemingly rude and the plastic was unacceptable. A photo is attached of what we found at home after...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreBubble bubble! Bubble tea! Quick on the go bubble tea!
Location: it is located along 14th Street, the location easy to find. The interior is nice and clean, few seatings inside.
Service: I just ordered on the kiosk.
Food: I ordered HOJICHA LATTE with BOBA. I love hojicha and I felt like their hojicha is very authentic but I should have put 100% sugar instead of 75% because I felt like it needs more sweetness. The boba was chewy and soft!
Price rating: 7 out of 10. I mean it is a regular bubble tea price. Paid around 8 bucks for the hojicha.
Well all recommended! Will try other...
