Today CO added boba tea to their menu so I had to give it a try. I was tagged in an Instagram post that announced the new addition to the menu. The post also advertised that the boba teas normally will be priced at $3.50 but for the month of August they would be priced at $2. I tried calling a couple of time to make sure of the special deal and to see if you could order the drinks to go. I finally got someone on the phone and was told that they could be ordered to go but they would be regular price. I was over the ordeal but my mother wanted to try them.
Upon arrival we asked the hostess about ordering the drinks and she directed us to the bar. When we placed our order we inquired about the special price but were told we had to join their email list to get the price. This was never stated before but the bartender said he would give us the special price. I ordered the honeydew melon tea with lychee jelly and my mother ordered mango tea with bursting strawberry boba.
I was not impressed with the drinks just like I hadn't been impressed with their food. The boba drinks were not like I've normally had before. The mango tea and the strawberry boba had no flavor. I only enjoyed the lychee jelly in the other tea. I would say the drinks are pretty Americanized just like the food and I will be sticking to the more authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Charlotte. Overall the drinks weren't worth the ordeal.
