| - I happened to visit on a Saturday afternoon when the parking lot was quite full, but no one was inside the shop. After my order was up and I sat down, about 6 people arrived in less than 5 minutes, so I can definitely see this place filling up fast.
They warmly greet and help you, and I admitted I was new so I got some assistance with the toppings. I was offered a sample of egg pudding when I asked what it was, so that was really cool. Many boba places make their coconut milk tea extremely sweet, so I erred on less sugar (70%).
Initially, I asked if I could get a coconut taro blend and to Nelson's same experience was told they can't due to franchise rules.
Drink came out fast but still gave me a chance to look around at the cool art inside. I snapped a couple photos for later to see if the significant other liked any for purchase - I definitely did!
The taste was underwhelming. Maybe it's my fault for ordering less sugar, but there was not a lot of flavor. Coconut is pretty distinct in all my boba experiences and this tasted faint. The pudding was a really nice addition (which I got for free with the Yelp check-in) and less ice was also a good choice. The prices are pretty reasonable/normal (my medium was less than $4) and lactose-free is always great for me.
Overall, it's a fun atmosphere with incredible employees/customer service but I don't see myself driving across town just to pick up one of these, especially if it's way busier than this. If I'm the area (read: Zen Curry), then I might poke my head in and try again.
