-- My First Impression --
This bubble tea place is located in my neighborhood. I was shocked they only have a 1-star at Yelp because it's definitely not deserved. When we walked into Tea Shop, we were warmly greeted by the owner. She was very nice and sincere. She told us that having her own bubble tea place/ bubble tea store was her dream and we could tell how devoted she was. I have to admit that I have a negative impression towards the "Tea Shop 168" brand because of the terrible experiences I've had in other branches, but in this branch I had a terrific experience.
-- Food and Drink --
1. Original Regular size Bubble Tea
- It's not as sweet as Coco and Chatime, but the level of sweetness was just right for us. Their tapioca was very soft and chewy. We overheard the associate talking to the owner and checked the temperature of their tapioca. I think it was certainly a nice gesture, if not we would be getting cold hard tapioca. Their original milk tea was a lot cheaper than their competitor. I won't be paying $4.70 milk tea after trying theirs.
2. Large Watermelon Juice
- I love watermelon juice, especially during summer. Their watermelon juice is very sweet and I felt very refreshing after drinking it! :)
-- Overall --
I love this TeaShop! Very nice owner. The only thing to complain about was their Wifi wasn't very stable. The owner told us they will be fixing it. Also this Tea Shop is very quiet and perfect to get some work/ study done.
