The boba and tea here is simply...not good. It brings me back to middle school years when boba shops only offered weak tea bases + syrups/powders + powdered creamer. Nashville's boba scene has a long way to go it seems. The boba here is overcooked and the tea isn't freshly brewed at all. Worst part of all is the amount they charge. I hate bringing down Viet-owned businesses. But as someone who drinks too much boba, I have to be honest.
PARKING: WIN Bubble Tea is located in a shopping plaza with a big parking lot. So you won't have trouble finding parking at all.
INTERIOR: I will give WIN Bubble Tea kudos for their modern-design. It's very up-to-date with the clean interior, gray tones, and colorful menu. Also, if your interested in some relaxation of the cannabis variety, WIN Bubble Tea can hook you up.
DRINKS: I always order one milk tea and one fruit drink when it comes to evaluating a new-to-me boba shop. Sugar-level and ice-level is adjustable.
+ OOLONG MILK TEA with boba: WEAK TEA. The oolong in this tea is not aromatic at all. The texture of the tea is thin and doesn't have a heavy mouth-feel. Too watered-down and the taste is underwhelming. Add in the boba that is OVERCOOKED and I was not satisfied by the drink at all. The boba didn't have a qq texture and broke apart too easily. That signals to me that either the boba was sitting out too long, or the boba was kept boiling for too long. I'm assuming they don't make their own boba because the pearls are pretty uniform in shape. So the pre-made dried tapioca pearls were cooked for too long.
+ MANGO FRUIT TEA SLUSH with Rainbow Jelly: Since it was really hot, I decided to go for a slush instead of my usual plain mango fruit tea. The slush was refreshing, but I didn't get much flavor beyond sugary syrup. No fresh mango to be found here. Simply ice and mango syrup. This drink was much better than their oolong milk tea because you actually get a punch of fruity flavor. The rainbow jelly was good, kind of hard to mess up because it comes pre-made in containers. But again, not much tea to be found in this drink.
PRICE: Competitive with what other boba shops charge, but at a lower quality. I think if they're going to serve boba reminiscent of the early 2000s, they should be charging early Lollicup prices. $1-2 less a much more accurate reflection of what they should be charging for the quality of their drinks.
Overall: Don't think I will be coming again. If you really like boba and tea in general, this won't really satisfy seasoned bobaristas. If you're a boba novice and you'd like to try it out. I'd say stick to the fruitier "fun" flavors and jellies.
