Yummy Yokee! Came here on a Thursday early afternoon during my lunch and was surprised to see a bit of a crowd waiting for their drinks! I even saw people get dropped off just to go here as the street parking situation isn't the best. The place itself is super small where there is only space inside to order at the kiosk and pickup your drink from the counter. I honestly think it works because the place is more of a grab and go situation to allow more orders to go through. They had a good amount of options ranging from specialty teas to sago drinks / blended items. I got the Osmanthus Oolong Tea with cheese foam and boba. The tea flavor was strong and the cheese foam was creamy with a hint of saltiness from the cheese, but it didn't overpower the tea flavor at all. May you say I was ~ obsessed ~ with my drink. The boba itself also had a nice sweet flavor and was a bit chewy. Still remained on the softer side as I drank it. I'd love to come back and try more of their drinks! I had such a pleasant experience. I can see why there's a lot of people going here to get drinks.

I've been visiting this boba shop regularly to pick up drinks for my wife. It's one of her favorites, and over time one of mine as well. The quality keep us coming back. I'll be sure to capture better photos next time to do the presentation justice. Since I started coming here, the menu has undergone a few changes. Some longtime favorites have been retired ( I still miss the banana milk tea) but they've introduced new specials that continue to impress. On this visit, I tried the Cocoa Volcano Brown Sugar Boba, White Peach Oolong Tea Latte, and the Durian Coffee Latte. The Cocoa Volcano is one of our staples. The White Peach Oolong, topped with fresh cream was a standout, but not in the right cup for my preference. The Durian Coffee Latte was unique. There were a good amount of durian chunks that I ended up blending, and added a bit more coffee to suit my taste, and the result was great. Our usual picks also include the Matcha and Coffee Volcano, as well as the Lychee, Passion Fruit Tea, and Hazelnut Milk Tea. All consistently well-executed with fresh flavors and high-quality ingredients

Supper small spot I wish they had a sitting area they only have chairs outside sadly. They have a machine to order from, it's quick and easy. All the drinks I got were delicious I went on a whim getting the mango one but it was DELICIOUS, I'm on a diet really shouldn't of gotten it but I will be thinking about how delicious it was all week.

Been here a few times, small place and usually does not have a line! You order at the kiosk and the order usually takes like 5-8 minutes. This time I got the cheese berry (25% sweet). The smoothie part by itself was not sweet but when you drank it with the cheese foam it was a really good combination of flavors! Creamy and fruity!

We ordered online to save time since the location is on the smaller side. Street parking is available and it was fairly empty on the Saturday afternoon that we went. There are two small tables outside for seating. The shop is fairly small and can only fit a few people at a time inside. The boba itself was cooked well and I appreciated how much they put in the cup. The flavor of the tea was on the more mild side and more difficult to taste, but I appreciated the alternative milk options that they offered.

A small hole in the wall shop along the street. The inside can comfortably fit about 4 people at most, so it's a little awkward when they're busy. Ordered the black milk tea which was of decent quality and they filled half the cup with boba? I'm not mad at it lol. Nothing extremely stellar but I appreciate that the boba was warm and chewy at the cost of all the ice melting.
