Terrazzo Tea feels like it's trying to be a trendy boba shop with its dark ambience and very minimalist vibe. My friend who I came with described it as "prison like" as it used to be barren without the sofa in the middle. They opened a year ago, and the unpainted walls are still there. The very small rack of ABG merch looked silly and out of place. This is a detailed recount of my experience.
The menu has a very cool and creative drink selection. Each drink has special toppings that complement the flavours. My friend and I both got the "In a Mood"passionfruit guava strawberry jasmine tea with assorted jelly. For $7, it was pricey, but still one of the lowest priced drinks on the menu. All their drinks looked like great options. I really liked the jelly that came in the drink as it was sweet and fruity. I tried my friend's 50% sweet drink first, and it was very sweet and fruity, so I opted for the 25%. Mine turned out to not taste sweet at all, which felt like a big discrepancy between the sweetness levels.
We came here to study/work, and we will not be doing that again. The wifi went out almost as soon as we got there, and we asked about it but they said they couldn't try to reset it. We initially came in to check if there were any free tables, saw there were none, then left for a while. One of the tables had a bunch of drinks on it, and someone's bag at the bench, but no one was there. When we came back 30 minutes later, the three tables were all still occupied, although no one was at the table with the drinks and bag. An HOUR later, someone finally cleared the table and took his bag. It appeared that an employee had taken up a table and left his belongings there for a very long time, which was really discourteous as all the tables and seating were full. Before we eventually claimed the table, we sat on the stools. These stools were so uncomfortable, with a really short almost non-existent back, and they were too short for the counter.
I don't expect a boba shop to cater to people who want to work on their laptops for a while, but because they advertise themselves as having wifi, it was disappointing for the wifi to go out for the entire afternoon. However, the boba seems really solid here, so I think this is a really good option for boba, as all these other things I have mentioned are not as relevant. I think they could really do with some more decor to spruce the place up a little bit.
