IG pictures got me on this place! I had been waiting and waiting for this to open in AZ after seeing all the posts of Mangonadas and Hot Cheetos elotes. But man...
They opened Labor Day weekend so I'm sure they still are working out the kinks, but I refuse to wait 45 mins for a drink again.
We tried to go opening weekend and the line was out the door. It was rumored that the wait would be about 2 hours.... for drinks!
We went a few days ago on a Friday around 2:30pm. The line was inside and it took about 10 minutes to get up to the front and order. Then it took about 35 minutes to get our three drinks and order of hot cheetos corn
I wish they had a suggestion box because here's what me and my boyfriend noticed could've been improved:
They write on the sides of the cups or bottoms to indicate what the order is and what order number it is. The entire time, I saw staff having to look at this at least 10 times a cup. They line the cups up on the counter with no rhyme or reason so it's easy for orders to get split up. We saw one couple get one drink and wait another ten minutes for their second drink.
It takes two or three employees to make one drink and they are all over the place putting the ingredients in. This is all while one or two employees are just standing around not doing anything. (The cashier will stop taking orders if their counter is too full of cups)
They just need to figure out a better more efficient system of assembling drinks, because it really should not take 10 mins to make one drink. This would help out their lines.
Now onto the review of what we got:
Thai milk tea with boba and egg pudding - normal Thai tea, nothing special, egg pudding non existent
Split cup of strawberry limeade and coffee horchata- limeade was pretty good but super lime-y, coffee horchata tasted like a watered down horchata
Strawberry lychee slush - this was the best drink out of all of them. Good lychee flavor and refreshing
Hot cheetos elotes - very delicious and not spicy from the hot cheetos at all, could use some more mayo
Overall, their drinks are average to any other boba place. They just photograph well for IG. I don't think it's worth it to wait 45 mins - 2 hours for it though. Maybe we'll come back once they figure things out and their wait time is more reasonable.
