The Blend is located right next to Arizona State University campus. If you're not going to park in the ASU's garage, there are nearby meters. The meters are free until 10PM. I was going to stop by just to get the boba tea but I had to pay the minimum 1 hour meter fee. This was my first time here. The interior had a hipster feel. Students were studying and people were reading. They had soft music indie/alternative music playing in the background. The only you can hear was the staff talking loudly. I had a major crave for boba tea and this was quite disappointing. The original boba tea was not flavorful but there was plenty of chewy bobas.
