    Black Milk Tea and Strawberry Flavored Milk Tea

    I love getting boba here when I'm in town. The price is amazing and affordable, especially for a large size! They have many flavors to choose from and they're all really great. Their wait time after ordering is usually quick, so you can immediately enjoy your beverage. If you are a student who lives on the campus, this is the place to get your boba instead of the other place called Tea Time. My friend and I like sitting inside and people watch. It's often busy but people leave quickly as they have places to go. This place is good, however, 8 degrees boba ones-up 1+1.

    Bubble tea

    We found this place by taking a wrong turn and it was the best mistake of our whole trip. What a find! My girls love bubble tea and it isn't always easy to find so we decided to go in for drinks and a snack. We all got bubble teas and a variety of apps and food to share. We were blown away by the food. Beyond beyond what we were expecting. The wings looked Spicy but were sweet and sticky and savory with some kind of crunch garlic on top for bursts of flavor and texture. My 9 year old who is the pickiest eater ever demolished them. The Taiwan popcorn chicken was another head trip. It was crunchy but not in the way it looked. Somehow crunch and soft at the same time. And it had no sauce but somehow it had amazing flavors of lemongrass and ginger. Have you ever had fried chicken that is refreshing? It was a mind trip. The experience was great. The counter guy was helpful and everything was made fresh on the spot. My daughters have already asked if we can go back again before we leave town.

    Malaysian Style Stir Fried Rice Noodle with Curry Flavor

    I absolutely love this place! I not only go for the delicious food and tea, but I love seeing the owner, Fanny as well. She greets her customers like she's known them forever and makes you feel so welcomed. The Malaysian stir-fried noodles is my favorite dish to get here. It's flavored with yellow curry and has fatty pork, juicy shrimp, onions, and gets a nice crunch from the bean sprouts and yellow onions. It truly resembles Vietnamese banh xeo which is a take on a savory crepe. I love this dish so much and would recommend it to everyone to try! The braised beef noodle soup is a great comfort food on a cold day. With tender beef that falls off the bone, chewy egg noodles, and a strong beef broth... you can't go wrong. Not pictured, but I usually get either popcorn chicken or crab rangoons with my tea as a snack and they are both so addictive! The crab rangoons are so packed with filing and the popcorn chicken is a great salty pairing for the sweet teas! I would recommend trying any milk tea, especially the signature, oolong, and hazelnut. I would also recommend trying their cheesecake tea creation! It taste like an actual strawberry cheesecake. But for those timid to try tea, their smoothies are also great and tastes like there could be ice cream inside.

    It's one of the prettiest little places in town. It's definitely "aesthetic", for those who are into that. The teas are lovely, but the food is a bit muted to appease the mostly white clientele.

    The boba is excellent! Recommend taro! And the restaurant food is so good! Such a cute shop and the staff is super friendly!

    Taro smoothie boba. Sweet and sour chicken. Cumin pork.

    My taro smoothie boba tea was so good - dairy free no caffeine. The sweet and sour chicken was delicious and they give lots of rice. It's small but we managed to do a casual date night there at one of the two tables. We picked this restaurant randomly and it didn't disappoint!

    Friend holding the boba Thai Milk Tea!!!! (Had to surprise her at work with our favorite)
    Jaci S.

    I come here every birthday with a large gaggle of my friends - the owner is the sweetest person I have ever had the chance of making the acquaintance of. She tries new flavors & treats everyone with such sincerity. Her staff is amazing & the boba is the best around - this coming from a boba snob who's been around & will travel from bondurant to ames just to be in her presence & leave with 2. They also have an amazing rewards program & i promise you they have something for everyone!!

    The boba tea is the best in town and Fannie is an amazing person to talk to. I suggest the wintermelon and a thai milk tea.

    1/19/26 5:00 p.m…read more Walk-in Food: The selection available here is outstanding! Between the drink options and the general store merchandise, there is so much to look at; so many new things to try. My go-to was an iced Thai milk tea with boba, but I recently tried the taro milk tea and now I'm hooked lol. This last visit, I had my daughter with me and she asked if they had a regular chocolate shake (they don't), but the employee that was taking our order was incredibly sweet and helped us pick out something that would work. She made a chocolate banana shake and just omitted the banana, as well as added frozen strawberries on top for my daughter; it was delicious. One of my favorite things to get as well is the matcha mochi; I'm so glad they carry them! Service: Every time we've been in, the employees are wonderful. We're greeted with a smile and positive attitude as well as patience. They are quick and efficient when preparing your order. This last visit, one incredibly sweet employee even came out to give my daughter quarters (from her own wallet) for the claw machine. She most definitely went above and beyond :) Ambiance: It's quaint and cozy inside. It's pretty well organized and kept very clean. There aren't too many tables to sit at, so it can get crowded if it's busy, but it never really seems to be an issue. The variety of items available is awesome as well as the large selection of freshly made-to-order drinks. They have frozen items that you're able to warm up and eat there as well. This is a great little spot for people that want to get some work done also; it's like a little coffee café, just better. The overall noise level can get a bit elevated, but headphones can easily cancel it out if you're sitting down inside.

    Food is always excellent. Served with style and courtesy…read more Great place to go with adult friends and husband.. possibly a business lunch place though. I think they do have private rooms for private launches.

We had several questions about the menu and she knew each item and was able to explain the ones we asked about. We were in a noodle mood and stuck with the basics. We started with an order of pork potstickers. They were pretty good and my mom really liked the dipping sauce they came with. It was good, but I prefer straight soy sauce - which the server brought us. We ordered Chicken Lo Mein, Pan-Fried Thick Rice Noodles with beef, and Pan-Fried Vermicelli with pork. Each dish had a good amount of meat which was great since each of the meats were the most tender pieces I have ever had from a Chinese/Tai/Asian place in Ames. Even the white meat chicken was so tender and not dry at all. Every piece of meat was so soft and flavorful! We cant' wait to go back and try some more adventurous dishes.

I ended up outside of the Ankeny location before they opened. I was trying to locate what I had enjoyed at the previous visit, but I couldn't remember, so I just went inside. The young woman behind the counter was attentive and happy to help me pick out a good drink. I remembered that it was a fruit tea with the fruit bursts. The place was bright and clean, just like my last visit. It was nice to see that the choices were the same and looked just as good as before. I asked her what her favorite was, and we were able to get a good drink together. I really like the little flavor bursts that you can add to the drink. She had the drink up shortly after that. (Yelp has a check-in coupon) It didn't take long for me to have it gone. It was really good and with the great customer service I know I will be back again.
