| - Custom bubble tea! They offer a decent variety of flavors here, with the option for your level of ice, sweetness, and add-in. The shop is in the Tempe Improv plaza a few doors down from Asian Fusion Cafe. The actual space is very narrow, with a few areas of seating in the front, side, and back.
I went with the Okinawan milk tea with white boba, light ice and 50% sweetness. The Okinawan milk tea here, in addition to their taro milk teas, uses a powdered mix that they add water to. What makes this milk tea "Okinawan" is the use of brown sugar instead of syrup (I read that Okinawans make a special roasted brown sugar on the island). I think the 50% sweetness level was just right for me, and I loved the earthy undertones of the drink from the tea and roasted flavor of the sugar. As for mix ins, they offer boba and various jellies. The white boba I had was a plentiful amount in my drink, with a perfect chewiness and sweetness.
The menu isn't as extensive as other shops, but I do like what selections they do have. I also enjoy the simple fact that there is a bubble tea shop in Tempe now. I usually have to go to Chandler to get my bubble tea fix!
