I've been here a few times, and every single time, it takes a long time, whether there are four or five people in front of me or no one in line. I timed it yesterday (Saturday), I placed the order at 1:40pm on my receipt and did not receive the drink until 1:58pm. That is kind of ridiculous how long it took. The drinks overall were good, but I do not think the wait is worth it.

Hawaii fruit tea with aiyuu jelly and passion fruit and grape fruit orange was something I would never try in a million years, but my niece suggested it. It was indeed great! It was very refreshing and I can still taste the herbal essence of the tea. They gave me 50% sweetness and it's a little too sweet for my liking. Maybe before I go back to the Central coast I will try their 25%! As usual my spouse's favourite is Taro Slush with extra pearls, the taro has a rich flavour and the pearl is not chewy and with good consistency. The pearls are also not hot/warm when served thus is does not melt the slush. We only did to go (apparently there's only to go due to Covid) and at the moment they allow 4 people at a time in the establishment. However you can see sometimes there are more than that! If its still here when we visit back home I will definitely have it again!

TLDR: Good teas overall…read more My wife doesn't like sweet milk teas. Normally she orders them with 0 sugar. She really appreciated the fact that here, the Brown Sugar Pearl Milk tea derives all its sugar from the boba. So the tea itself has no sugar at all. I think that's a good way to do tea... let the boba sweeten the tea! No need to add gallon of sugar after the boba, right? She thought the milk isn't as creamy as back in the bay area. But the tea itself was good. And she liked the boba, which were sweet and mushy, but without being overly mushed. I myself stay away from milk teas (damn you Lactose Intolerance!), so I normally get fruit teas. I got the mango fruit tea, with my usual 50% sugar. Even then, it's still a lot sweeter than I'm used to. But there is a good amount of tea flavor, so it didn't taste like I was drinking mango water. I even ordered some popping boba, which popped well. It was not mushy at all, and had quite a give to the texture. So for me, 4 stars means the tea is delicious, and I would want to come back. It's not quite 5 stars, which means it's one of the best teas I ever had. The guy was nice, and patiently explained about the whole no sugar added to the milk tea thing. As a strange side note, I'm not sure if it's the owner's obsession, but they certainly have a thing for a certain Chinese band... their faces were plastered all over the walls.

The staff were helpful, but more smiles would make customer feel more welcome. I saw two fancy brewing machines and saw the tea dripping out so this is a good sign. The prices are a little higher comparted to other bubbles places, but the freshly brewed tea makes it a higher quality of taste. I ordered the Taro Queen and enjoyed, and you can choose the amount of ice and sweetness. Loved sipping to find the taro paste but not alot of tea to drink. Not sure if I come back as there are other options.

Got the bubble volcano made with oat milk - I am fully aware there is no tea in this drink, and the cashier did note that. However the drink was very disappointing - as it was 25% ice, 65% FOAM and probably got like 10% worth of actual drinkable liquid. The Brown sugar taste was good , not overwhelming - however the amount of liquid for the price paid was seriously laughable. - Oat milk does come out of the carton pretty foamy after you shake it, however that doesn't mean you serve a cup of foam. Will not recommend - bubble tea scene is super competitive, especially in Richmond -

I absolutely detest false or misleading marketing. In recent days, a few instagram marketing ads…read morefrom influencers promoted the special for this weekend, supposedly for Father's Day. All ads noted that you'd have to order through the fantuan app. The promotion was $2.99 each for their most popular 3 drinks. So we had a family gathering and I had gathered everyone's order the day before since this was definitely a good deal and i always had relatively positive review for the vendor. My husband arrived and tried to order off the app. It turned out that he was only able to order ONE drink at $2.99 and the rest of the drinks were at regular price. Nowhere and not one influencer even mentioned that customers are only limited to one drink at the promo price. Husband inquired with the staff and they offloaded the responsibility to fantuan, saying that the promotion was whatever that was on the app. Did they not review the accuracy of the marketing posts? Or were the posts simply a walk-in bait? I just felt this was very dishonest. Fantuan had a 40% off deal. So instead of the total order coming to $24, with one promo price and all else at regular, it ended up being $20. In conclusion, we had expected to spend $2.99 per drink but it ended up being $5 per drink. What a scam. My family advised that we shouldn't have proceeded with the order. What's even worst was that all drinks were watered down. I read comments on Instagram and apparently many other customers also felt the same. I'm never going back to such a dishonest vendor. Don't try to blame it on fantuan app when you were the one who invited the influencers to do those media posts.

This location is the one I tend to come across the most cause I usually am visiting the mall. The shop sticks out with it's red design. It's just a pretty small boba vendor shop that's kind of hidden away. The menu is basically a screen running a video so that it animates and loops. There's quite of a selection of drinks on it though. Most of them are on the sweeter side with their cookies and cream shake. They've got a lot of crazy drinks going on, but I'm a simple man that likes his simple drinks and lately, I've been very much into the #8 fresh jade lemon green tea. Because the drinks are pretty sweet I usually adjust it to like 75% sweetness. I also adjust the ice level to get more for my buck and ask for less ice. Hard to judge boba shops in my opinion. Especially since any adjustments I make to my drink is on me and not on the shop. Service was quite fine. Only one person was on the job when I was there, but I've seen two people there before. One to make drinks and the other manning the cashier. Overall, I thought my drink turned out fine. Just have to adjust by trial and error to get the right sweetness down for yourself. If you come across one of these shops, check it out.

He got a Blueberry Slushy drink and the wheel cake had red bean inside. Drinks are always solid at Peanuts and on the more affordable side too given what many other places will charge for bubble tea drinks these days. I honestly wasn't a huge fan of his wheel cake but that's no fault of the shop. Red bean is something I'm generally not crazy about to begin with. I have learned over the years that I can appreciate red bean as a bubble tea drink if it's all blended up. However, it's the chunks of bean that I don't like, and this wheel cake had chunks of bean in it. Might have gone over better with me if it had been filled with a smooth, red bean paste...no chunks of bean in it. That's just personal preference though. If you're someone who enjoys red bean paste and don't mind chunks, then you might enjoy this Taiwanese wheel cake.
