    Black Pearl Bubble Tea Kiosk (2nd Floor of SONO)
    Lindsay N.

    Oh, this bubble tea was so good! Ended a SONO shopping trip with a bubble tea from the Black Pearl. Located on the 2nd, conveniently on our way out of the mall. It's near the H&M store. For a busy Saturday, they had a lot of friendly staff turning out drinks quickly. They seemed to always have a line, but it moved fairly quickly. There were a few small, lounging chairs with tables near by, but for most people sip and enjoy their while walking through the mall. I couldn't pass up the Purple Mountain drink, a taro and ube mix with brown sugar tapioca pearls, topped with a cream cheese milk cap. The tapioca pearls were perfectly al dente, lovely brown sugar flavor, and not overly sweet. The drink was on the thicker side and I liked that the taro and ube flavor wasn't artificially tasting. They had two sizes: Queen and King--so fun! I went with the Queen (smallest size). Black Pearl Bubba Tea has a lot of your classic and unique bubble tea combos. From coffee, matcha, to fruit combinations, whether you are new to bubble tea or a pro, there was something for everyone. It wasn't overly complicated either.There was a sign that stated if you didn't like what you ordered, they would make something else. I also liked that their menu had pictures of what the drink would look like because who doesn't want the prettiest drink? It was also nice that they had dairy-free and caffeine creations. My Purple Mountain drink was caffeine free. This was one of the best mall bubble tea places I've had in a long time. I will definitely be stopping back by when I visit the SONO mall again.

    Trying this place for the first time in SONO mall!

    My mom had never tried Boba so I brought her to Black Pearl in SONO Collection. This place is my daughter's favorite boba tea shop. It's actually fresh fruit and you can taste the difference. Great for when you need a pick me up while shopping.The staff is always helpful and friendly. Love this place.

    Best honeydew I've had before! Doesn't taste as artificial, more like the actual fruit. Could do with a bit less milk. Pearl milk tea is not bad, not too sweet, but very milky. Pearls themselves weren't braised in sugar so they aren't very sweet alone.

    My middle name is Boba and I am a boba connoisseur. One of my go to spots for boba. I love how chewy, warm and soft bubbles they are. I have had strawberry, mango and peach drinks. All of them are so delicious and made to perfection.

    Got the Pearl Milk Tea - the boba was over cooked and the drink is very milky and sweet, not very strong tea flavor. Also it has a little powdery texture. They don't ask how you want your sugar or ice level so you're just stuck with how it is. The only option in SoNo but not good bubble tea.

    Hmm, I would say the drinks are just okay. Given the price ($7-8), I don't think it was really worth it. I got a passion fruit fest and while it tasted fine, there was nothing special about it and there was a lotttt of foam that filled about half the drink. It's located at a small kiosk at the SoNo Collection and during my visit on Saturday, there was no line.

    Yay for another boba place in town! Glad it's becoming more mainstream here in CT. Tried their taro and brown sugar and both tasted great. The staff were friendly and efficient. Located on the 2nd floor, inside Sono mall.

    Super cute kiosk in the SoNo collection! Beautiful decor - whimsical even and the service is super courteous. I don't usually care for the tapioca pearls but for some reason these taste different (read:better) than others. Matcha is spectacular and perfect afternoon pick-me-up and the packaging was really cute also - so glad I'm right across the street!

    I just prefer the Passionfruit bubble tea at Whale Tea, especially for the lower price.

    I say this with zero exaggeration: Migoto is the single best boba experience in the world. That's…read moreit; that's the review. OK here's why: Migoto offers an exhaustive menu of truly unusual boba/smoothie/slushie/coffee drinks as well as exotic (mostly East Asian) packaged snack products. As I've ordered from Migoto an average of once a week this past summer, you'd think I'd have tried them all. You'd be wrong. This is because I can't bring myself to order anything but their absolutely phenomenal White Peach Dreams. God bless Migoto, long may it run. Best boba shop on the planet.

    This place is adorable. The selection of drinks and snacks is plentiful. I love being able to…read morecustomize the drink to my liking (ice, sugar level, type of boba, etc). The service is excellent and I enjoyed speaking with Coco, who was very helpful and kind. My daughter and I also enjoyed sitting by the window and playing with the puzzles and connect 4 games available for customers while enjoying our beverages. She ordered the strawberry lemonade with mango boba and I ordered the traditional boba milk tea. They were both delicious and on the sweet side. It was a relaxing and enjoyable expereince. I've ordered Migoto boba drinks via doordash as well, and got the same great quality, consistency and packaging. The drink cups are much better quality than at other bubble tea shops and they are recyclable.
