| - Overall 3.5stars, and so far the most decent milk tea place I've found in Phoenix. I like Milk Run's variety of options, including some pretty creative drinks such as AZ Sunset and their milk tea floats.
Prices are a bit on the high side, and service can be hit or miss. Sometimes the ordering will go really smoothly, and other times it'll be painstakingly slow with incorrect customizations. The inside is comfortably decorated and bright, and there is a small parking lot on the outside that can fill up quickly at peak hours.
I do think the honey boba here is pretty good, and I generally don't like pearls and prefer grass jelly or other toppings. They can be a tad over cooked sometimes, but the honey flavor really comes through, and I would rather have slightly softer than too hard.
Milk teas:
The classic milk tea has good flavor with a pretty strong tea taste. The tea isn't watered down, and it pairs well with the honey boba. The jasmine milk tea has good flavor, but the milk almost outweighs the delicate floral taste of the tea, which makes it taste watered down. I think the honey boba taste overwhelms the jasmine milk tea taste even more, so I usually just get this tea just by itself. The Thai tea is robust and strong, and it also pairs well with the honey boba. Would recommend half sugar and less ice (I do like my teas less sweet though so if you usually like your drinks regular sweetness, go with the usual). The Nutella milk tea wasn't for me.. it was deathly sweet, although the Nutella did come through nicely.
Milk tea floats:
These milk teas come with a scoop of ice cream on top. I like the matcha one because the matcha ice cream actually enhances the flavor, and the Thai tea one isn't bad either. Milk Run offers some interesting flavors of ice cream, including taro and sriracha (!) which I haven't personally tried, but I appreciate the option.
AZ Sunset and Passionfruit Sparkler:
I wasn't a fan of these specialty drinks, although I liked the passionfruit one more. AZ Sunset was definitely instagram-worthy, but the taste was rather flat and I didn't get too much of the blueberry. The passionfruit sparkler comes with real passionfruit, which was fantastic, but I couldn't taste much else and the drink itself came with 75% ice.
Chances are I'll be back to Milk Run for a close-by milk tea fix, but if I have the option, I may trek a little farther outside Phoenix.
