Boba was solid, and a nice pick me up when I was in the area!

The whale tea is a place anyone around should definitely check out! Me and my daughter went to The…read moreWhale Tea recently and as bubble tea lovers we thought it was okay. We had gotten matcha,brown sugar and the Oreo slush boba. The matcha wasn't bad. The matcha was perfectly blended and smooth (which I love because some places don't blend their matcha thoroughly) but its taste wasn't the best matcha we've had. The brown sugar wasn't bad either it tasted good but felt a little watered down. The Oreo slush boba was delicious and I have no comments saying otherwise. The service was excellent and the employees even helped us decide what to get. They were very helpful and kind and greeted us immediately. The ambiance was great and it was decorated with adorable signs, a beautiful whale mural, whale squishies, and lights. Many seating options and two kiosks to order as well. Overall, even though we weren't absolutely thrilled with our drinks there are many other options and we look forward to coming back soon to try something new.

My friend and I were in the area and wanted to pick up some tea before walking around. I was…read moreintrigued by the ingredients which included black sesame, ginger, ube, Pandan, and red bean. I decided to get a black sesame ginger latte with boba. I got it cold with half level of sweetness as recommended by the staff. The sesame flavor was satisfyingly strong. There was just a touch of ginger flavor creating a unique well balanced infusion. Boba had a nice soft texture that was appropriate for this drink, although not the softest boba that I've come across. The shop also offered several options for Vietnamese coffee including variations like coconut. There were a few tables with seats available to enjoy the drinks inside and a plant covered wall with a neon sign (For my bes tea) for photo-ops. The store is cash free, credit card only. The best way to pay is actually through the Snackpass app where you can earn a free drink after a certain amount of purchases. I'll definitely stop by here the next time to try more!

We got a hot taro drink and I heard the milk being microwaved behind where we were sitting. The taro was extremely artificial and difficult to drink through the straw. Unfortunately, after a few sips, it went in the trash. The second drink was another non caffeinated option. I liked the coconut milk, but wasn't sure about the rest of the drink. The jellies were interesting and the flavor... indescribable. I finished this drink though. I liked the ambiance but wish I could get a refund for this drink order.

Ordered the basic brown sugar milk tea to try this bubble tea location. I ordered less ice, and…read morenext time I would order cold with no ice because the ice is overwhelming. 50% sugar was the perfect choice for this drink! It was delicious, filling, and perfect. It's quiet and seems to be a hotspot for students hanging out and studying. We received our drinks quickly as well. My husband ordered a strawberry slush because he doesn't like boba; he wasn't aware his drink would have boba included. At first, he was shocked when he discovered the boba, but he was pleasantly surprised when the boba popped. He said he actually enjoyed the flavor unlike previous boba attempts. We will definitely return if in the area.

I'm very happy to report that The Whale Tea isn't just good for a boba place in Connecticut -- it's good, period. The boba came fresh and warm, and had the right bouncy consistency. Both drinks we ordered were great. I loved the look of the Whale Crystal with the light blue color on top, and the combo of the coconut milk flavor with the texture of the drink was unique. The Oreo creme brulee tasted exactly how I hoped it would -- there was a crispy melted sugar layer on top and the drink itself had a nice thickness to it. I'm definitely coming back to this shop again! Misc notes: This place didn't ask our preferred ice and sugar levels, which I actually like because I get paranoid I'm picking the wrong amount. Most of the clientele were high school and college students, so prepare to feel old if you're in your mid-20s or above, lol. The inside and bathroom looked decent.

Every person we encountered in Ero Cafe was super friendly! I got a Vietnamese Coffee which was good but strong! I also got a cookie butter iced latte. Now that was Yummy! I used the Bischoff cookie on top to eat the whipped cream. The cup was smeared with cookie butter which made my day! For lunch I had a steak panini. The steak was a shaved steak. The cheese pull I wish I would have gotten a picture of. Along with the panini came a unique salad it was well chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, (another veggie or fruit was in there but I could not tell what is was) and a garlic oil. Im not a big veggie person but this salad was delicious. If someone else was driving or nicer weather for a walk I would for sure go back!

If you're a fan of poke bowls, Natural Kitchen is a spot that absolutely deserves a visit. I…read morerecently stopped in and ordered their signature bowl, The Triforce, and it was hands-down the best poke bowl I've ever had. The Triforce is loaded with tuna, salmon, and shrimp, paired with fresh pineapple and crisp cucumber, then topped with kani salad, seaweed salad, green onion, and roasted seaweed. Everything is brought together (sitting on top of your choice of rice, I chose sushi rice) with their poke special sauce and sweet chili sauce, which adds just the right balance of savory and sweet without overpowering the seafood. What really stood out was the freshness of every ingredient in the bowl. The fish tasted incredibly clean and high quality, the pineapple added a bright pop of sweetness, and the seaweed and kani salad gave the bowl a great mix of texture. Every bite felt perfectly balanced, and you could tell that nothing had been sitting around -- it all tasted freshly prepared. Beyond the food, the experience was great as well. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, making the whole visit feel relaxed and enjoyable from the moment I walked in. It's always nice when a place combines excellent food with genuinely good service. Overall, Natural Kitchen completely exceeded expectations. Between the incredibly fresh ingredients, the well-thought-out flavors in the Triforce bowl, and the friendly staff, this place has quickly become a must-visit for poke lovers in the Milford area. If you're looking for a fresh, flavorful meal, this spot absolutely delivers.
