| - I really wanted to like this place, but it was just disappointing in both the egglet and boba aspects, which is why I took off two stars. Here's my breakdown:
Boba: the drinks were mehhh. They have a wide variety of milk teas, slushies, sea salt lattes, iced healthy drinks, flavored teas, and soda drinks. However, my rose green milk tea and original milk were TERRIBLE. Even though I watched them pour the powder mixture together, I was hoping for it to taste somewhat decent. Unfortunately, it tastes like how its made... straight up powdered milk tea. I couldn't taste the rose or the green tea, and although my sister's original milk tea had a strong black tea taste, it was still OVERLY sweet and sugary. In addition, the boba is what makes and breaks my return of this place. We came in around 11:30 AM and the boba were HARD and stale. I think they either used the same boba from the day before or rushed and didn't let the boba cook longer. Something about it was wrong and neither of us could finish our drinks.
Egglet desserts: DISSAPOINTING. It may be a good instagram or snapchat worthy photo, but the taste of the egglet is not "Hong Kong" style. I've visited Hong Kong multiple times because that is where my mom is from and Itea's egglet is nothing close to the right taste or texture. Egglets aka egg puffs are suppose to be hot and crunchy on the outside, and inside is chewy. Itea's egglets tastes like SOGGY, day old waffles. No offense. I had high expectations for this item in particular and it was a let down. The flavor itself was bland but I can give them credit for making the presentation really cute.
Service & atmosphere: The cashier was really nice and patient as we looked through the entire menu. The male worker who made our drinks was fast and did a good job of hand shaking our drinks (like he used his entire body and both hands to really shake our drinks). There is a cute chalk board-like mural that everyone takes pictures with and pillows that make the place "home-y." However, food is what draws people, not how cute the inside may be. I'm always down for a hole-in-the-wall location as long as the food is bomb.
Overall: I took off two stars for the disappointing boba milk tea and egglet. They have great potential to be better since it's so close to UNLV, but for now it's an "A-OK" place and I won't be back for awhile.
