My wife and I have been coming here for a few years, and it’s her favorite boba place. We enjoy the level of sweetness in the drinks and the atmosphere. We’re happy this place survived the pandemic.

Many age appropriate games for kids of all ages. Game area was kid friendly, safe and clean. The staff went above and beyond for my kids giving them lollipops as thank you treats as too giving us a free crate with lechera snack that was unexpected and I was pleasantly surprised.

First place I've seen where the customer can pick how much boba/jelly they want. Fried food is lightly breaded and quickly fried, so it's not too oily. I'm a little sad they use majority powder for their drinks, but seeing as most places do rely...Read More

***Unfortunately, shortly after this review, the store closed. We thought it was just for repairs, as it looked like the corner of the building had been hit by a vehicle, but the damage wasn't fixed and they stayed closed! 😥😢😭 **** 9/1/2022 …
