With so many boba shops moving out of Spring Mountain and into the rest of Vegas, it was about time a boba shop made an appearance in Henderson. However, maybe this unfilled niche needs to stay unfilled.
We ordered the Classic Taiwanese milk tea, almond milk tea and taro smoothie. The milk tea tasted like sugar water, with no hint of milk tea whatsoever. The almond milk tea was better because it didn't taste like only sugar water, but instead sugar water with a hint of almond. Unlike any taro drink I've had, the taro smoothie was not sweet at all and was colorless. When we asked why it didn't look like the purple drink they had posted pictures of, they offered to add food coloring to the drink..............
GHOST BOBA?! What kind of bastardization of boba is that?! The sugar in boba is supposed to make it black.... So does the boba here not have sugar in it? Because I wouldn't be surprised. Have you ever tasted something that had more texture than taste? Well that's what the boba here tasted, or felt like? It had such a hard texture, and it CRUMBLED in my mouth. It wasn't chewy and there was absolutely no taste. Make like a ghost and disappear you "ghost boba," you were so, so bad. Oh, also the boba so almost too big for the straws they had hahaha. It was a struggle to get those things through the straw at first, but after tasting them, I was glad it kept them out.
With the shop being near so many colleges it would have been better to make it more study friendly. The tables were communal style with hard chairs and there weren't very many accessible outlets. They had a few comfy couches, but with only 2 areas it was filled with people the entire time we were there. Don't come here expecting to find a seat! I would suggest coming here for a quick chat rather than expecting to be able to study for hours.
The kitchen is in the back, so no sounds of loud coffee blenders. Which I really, really appreciated!
And yes, you get to keep the glass jar your drink comes in. But for $5.00+ for a regular size drink? Not worth it. Will it be cheaper if I bring my own cup..... not that I'll be back.....
