Glück Tea — Restaurant in West Des Moines

Tonight was my first visit at Gluck Tea and I had several questions about the specific milk teas and food menu. The owner was just lovely, helpful and patiently provided clarification. I ordered a brown sugar milk tea, which I was very happy to see was available in a small or regular size. I chose the small and it was the perfect size with a authentic, natural, less sweet flavor and the most delicious, chewy boba. I returned for tonkatsu ramen, which I was able to order online at a self serve kiosk, and it was incredibly filling and delicious. The ambiance was chic and minimalistic, while the menu quite vast. I have tried several local boba tea places, some focusing on having a large, entertaining space and others on the tea itself. Gluck Tea’s milk tea has been my favorite so far. I’m happy to have stopped in and will make use of their...

Theres a glittering variety of boba spots in des moines now, which as a boba fan, pleases me. This also means you never know what exact bubble tea category you get.

Theres the quick powder restaraunt boba, the "milk tea" joints where you notice there is no tea... base, at all? No oolong, black tea, jasmine specified, no base in sight, no tea flavor comes through. And, of course, Non-dairy creamer powder is what it is.

This is a bubble tea place more akin to say, the chatime franchise if you are familiar with them.

Its a good milk tea. Im just no frills oolong, spot of jelly. Would go back.

I like the boba places that attempt a bit of a real menu too so id go back for croffles or an unagi bowl....

My boyfriend and I are regulars at Gluck Tea and here is why we love it and continue to go back: The owners are a sweet couple that recognize us and that always puts a smile on my face. They are very hard workers and they are also parents, that’s a lot! The quality is always there, in their treats, drinks, and food! They take their time to make sure your items are made with care.💕 They are well-priced. Anything now and days is expensive but if I want to treat myself, I go here. I know I’m supporting a local business and I’m spending good money on something I’m always...
