| - If you know me personally then you know I love boba. I should be called a boba princess for being so addicted to boba but I will stop here. Never knew Jackie Bee Boba Express opened until my friend told me about it. Conveniently located across from CSN Charleston Campus, Jackie Bee Boba Express is a great hangout spot for college students.
ATMOSPHERE
Spacious, modern, clean and most of the times quiet. Jackie Bee is located next to PVP Zone (Internet cafe), there are a lot of video game players going in and out of the stores. Even though the store can get loud at times, there are many outlets to charge your laptop while doing your homework and they even have a free wifi (password: videogame).
SERVICE
Great service! Love that servers/cashiers are chill and friendly. They are willing to answer any questions.
DRINK
If you are a college student, show your student ID for 20% off! With the student discount, I get my boba drink for around $3-$4. On my first visit, I got an Oolong tea with boba. I was disappointed with the taste/quality. I have gotten an Oolong tea from KFT, it did not have any strong tea taste like KFT but just a very subtle/plain taste, almost like a flavored water.
On my second visit, I ordered a Jasmine milk tea with boba (I get this everywhere I go). Jasmine milk tea here taste just like the one from QQ boba. It is very light on milk and doesn't have that overpowering sweetness. Even though I like my Jasmine milk tea floral, I really liked this version of Jasmine milk tea. I would say the only difference between here and QQ boba is that Jasmine milk tea here taste like there is soy milk in it. I no longer have to drive an hour to Henderson for Jasmine milk tea... :)
In conclusion, their drinks are good because none of the drinks have any artificial/overpowering sweetness. Subtle and just the right amount of sweetness. I do like the texture of boba here, just wondering why they would call it "Honey Boba" when it doesn't even taste like honey.
If you don't like boba, they also have many other options for toppings. I have not tried any of their food yet but my friend said their onion rings and popcorn chicken are really good. I will have to try those and update my review~
