The staff is super friendly and nice and they knew that I am from Taiwan so wanted to know my honest opinion from an insider about their boba tea so here you go.
I ordered a jasmine green tea with aloe with no sugar. When there’s no sugar, creamer, or milk in the tea, the quality of the tea itself stands out, and this one is pretty legit, which means that they are using good tea leaves and brew the tea in the right way. Absolutely love the aloe. It has a hint of honey, which matches the jasmine green tea perfectly.
My friend ordered a black tea with oat milk with regular boba. It is pretty decent as well. However, I would say that the only thing that would make it even better is the flavor and the texture of the boba. I personally feel like the boba can be just a little bit softer but more chewy, and it will be just perfect. And we prefer a boba with a hint of honey or brown sugar flavor in it just to make the flavor of the whole drink more 3-dimensional, but this is purely our personal preference.
They make pretty cute and tasty Japanese mochi donuts as well, which the texture is a little more like Taiwanese 雞蛋糕 than mochi, but I kinda enjoy it lol! I am actually really impressed when they told me that they made the donuts themselves every morning. Great job! 不過以下也是純粹個人口味,覺得上面的糖霜有點偏甜,不過也可以理解,畢竟要符合美國人口味XD
Overall, as a non-chain store, the drinks are food are surprisingly well made! These people do care!
