Seating: Both inside and outside seating. Great for groups and patio seating outside to keep you dry. Vibes: It's in a plaza, maybe 10 minutes away from Downtown Birmingham. The plaza consists of restaurants, a gym, and a grocery store. The spot itself is spacious, clean, and welcoming. A great place to hang out with friends or be friends. FOOD: Peppermint Boba (Recommend) A seasonal drink that was a pleasant delight. The peppermint wasn't too strong, it was well balanced with milk and the boba was chewy. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! The store opened and there was a rush of 3 customers. The kid in front took care of it well. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Great! This is a solid enough representation of boba so it's glad to be shared here in the Dirty South! The prices are reasonable, food is delicious, and I appreciated the range/variety they provided. For those craving a boba fix, be sure to check this place out! Shoutouts to Ashley and Tam Duong for bringing this delight to Alabama and best wishes to new owner, Hugo Anguiano, and his team on this business.

Didn't get first responder discount (strangely enough I take emergency call at the hospital and I still believe I qualify as a first responder) Didn't matter the Brewberry energy drink I ordered (did I mention Take call?) was just what I needed to get through the morning shift today.

I've now been twice during their opening events, and both visits left a solid impression…read more My first visit was on April 5, 2026, during the friends and family time. My family and I were each able to try a free small drink, which was a great way to experience the menu. I went with the white chocolate cold brew. Smooth, well-balanced, and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. It had that clean coffee finish without being watered down or syrup-heavy. We came back on April 8, 2026, during community hours, and again got to try another small drink. This time I switched it up and went with the blackberry cobbler wildberry smoothie. Completely different lane, but just as enjoyable. It was rich, fruity, and dessert-like without being overwhelming. What really stands out at this location is the energy and service. The staff brings a level of enthusiasm you don't always see. Friendly, engaging, and moving with purpose. Even with the crowd during opening events, things felt organized and upbeat. Ambiance note: It's a drive-thru experience, but the vibe is carried by the team. The music, the greetings, the overall interaction makes it feel like more than just a quick stop. Helpful tip: If you're new, take advantage of events like this or ask for recommendations. The menu has a lot of options, and the staff seems more than willing to help you find something you'll like. Overall, strong start. Good drinks, great service, and an energy that makes you want to come back

The staff are relatable and friendly and always greet you with a genuine smile. Iris, especially, has been particularly warm and hospitable. It's been a joy getting to talk to them each time I visit. The menu has a massive selection of drinks (and you can even customize your own!) and a respectable amount of pastries, each of which has been well worth my money. In the odd case that you don't like your first drink, you are sure to find one you love among the rest of the menu. My favorite fruit tea/lemonade so far is the Rainbow Road, while my favorite milk tea is hands-down the cotton candy. Whatever you like - sweet, bitter, spicy - they have it or are willing to adjust drinks to meet your desired sweetness, bitterness, etc. If you are in the area, you absolutely MUST visit this establishment. You won't regret it.

We met here yesterday to catch up, use my $5 off bday reward, enjoy the weather that was nice enough to take advantage of the outside seating area. They've added a couple items to the menu and have added a refrigerator/freezer area that is filled with several viral snacks to come and purchase to try out. I'm sure this is a hit with the kids in the area who know TikTok trends like the back of their hands. The two individuals working were sweet and even suggested a different milk option to my sister for her smoothie selection unless she desired the more "sour" outcome her original choice would have made when blended with the ingredients. She chose to take their recommendation and loved her smoothie.

Customer service was very friendly and accommodating throughout the visit. I ordered the Oat Adventure because I am a fan of Do-si-dos. They were out of apples, so I substituted cheesecake bites and went with the vanilla base. I also added peanut butter sauce and caramel. My wife ordered a chocolate base with mango, bananas, cheesecake bites, Biscoff cookies, and caramel. Presentation looked good and everything was visually appealing. The ingredient selection process is different from traditional ice cream spots because this is New Zealand-style ice cream where the ingredients are blended directly into the base. For us personally, the vanilla base was not sweet enough. My wife felt the same about the chocolate base. The flavor profile came across lighter and less dessert-like than we expected. This may simply come down to preference. We realized during this visit that New Zealand-style ice cream may not be our thing. Personally, I prefer places where the ice cream stays intact and mix-ins are folded or added in, similar to Yogurt Mountain or traditional ice cream shops. My wife also raised a good observation for customers with allergies. It did not appear that every mix-in had its own separate scooper, which could potentially create cross-contamination concerns for people with nut allergies or other food sensitivities. Price also factors into the experience. For what we received, we were right at about $20. The quantity-to-value ratio felt questionable considering the portion sizes. If the flavor had been a bigger hit for us, the cost might have landed differently. The concept is unique, and I can see some people really enjoying the fresh fruit approach. It just did not quite have that "it factor" for us. For our personal rankings, we would probably still lean toward spots like Big Spoon, Cold Stone, Dream Flavors, Edgewood Creamery, Marble Slab, Mountain Brook Creamery, and Unbothered Scoops. Not a bad experience at all, just not a repeat visit for us.
