I love boba, but unfortunately this shop has really let me down recently. I used to love stopping by on hot days for one of their lemonades — they used to be super refreshing with a real, fresh lemon flavor. Lately though, the lemonades taste totally different — almost artificial and chemical, like the recipe was changed for the worse. They’re just not the same anymore, and honestly, not enjoyable at all.
To be fair, the staff is always friendly and helpful, which I appreciate. But the inside of the shop is extremely hot, with barely any air conditioning.

I came back and gave the lemonades another try, as you said you went back to the original lemonade. Safe to say, I was disappointed.

Another thing is that it is nearly impossible to enter the building without being swarmed by wasps. Even going through the drive through the wasps try to get in my car window. It is sad to see this place go downhill but it is really inconvenient for me to get my...
Read moreThe best boba in all of Tampa I swear. They have the most variety with the most authentic flavors. I like how they allow you to adjust the sweetness and when I ask for more tea than milk, they don’t look at me like I have 5 heads 🙃. Staff has been awesome every time I’ve come here. My kids are obsessed with the boba here. It really is perfection and something for everyone....
