Sadly, I had a really disappointing first experience at Boba Paradise. Their branding is really cute and the menu seems to have unique items. For $19 for two drinks, I would have expected better.
I ordered the Roasted Mountain Oolong Tea Latte with boba and I ordered my husband the Ceylon Black Tea Latte with boba. Both were ordered with 50% sweetness.
The order took a bit to be ready, but it was because the boba was reheated - this is something that's an absolutely not for me. The consistency of tapioca pearls when they're cooled then reheated the next day is a gooey exterior with a mealy interior.
The tea itself was lacking as well. It lacked the creaminess of a latte and lacked a tea flavor. We ended up brewing our own tea at home to add to it.
There are claw machines there, which I'm really interested in trying next time. I would for sure come back again for the claw machines. I hope the drinks will improve. read more
