Three words: Matchacado with boba…read more Loose Leaf is the only bubble tea shop I've come across in Franklin, yet it still ranks in my top five favorites. The menu is focused on quality rather than overwhelming you with choices, and each beverage is unique in its own right. I really appreciate the dairy alternatives, caffeine options and overall outstanding service at Loose Leaf. I love this boba shop in particular because it's conveniently located on my way home, inside Pokemoto, a Hawaiian spot that serves raw fish (think deconstructed sushi in a bowl). If you're looking to grab lunch and a tasty drink, this setup is perfect for hitting two birds with one stone. The drink selection is well-rounded, ranging from fruity to milky and healthy to indulgent. The Matchacado uses real avocado and high-quality matcha, blended together to create a drink I could honestly have for the rest of my life. There's something about the sweetness of the condensed milk, the creaminess of the avocado and the chewiness of the tapioca pearls that makes each sip taste SO (underline, bold and italicize "so" for me please, Yelp) good. Better yet, it's consistently well-made and the young team members behind the counter clearly know what they're doing when it comes to this drink. My last visit to Loose Leaf was heartbreaking: they were out of avocados, but the young man behind the counter recommended the Purple Roots instead, which had a pleasantly earthy taro flavor. It reminded me of a classic taro milk tea, but blended and elevated the Loose Leaf way. Their Vietnamese drip coffee is also solid for anyone who wants a strong caffeine kick to the face. If I haven't spotlighted them enough already, shoutout to the young man and woman who handle both the boba and poke stations - you two absolutely rock and are always so friendly! My only wish (as I mentioned in my last review for Pokemoto) is for steady Wi-Fi. This would be a fantastic spot not only for lunch, but also to settle in and get some work done for an hour or two. I would gladly buy two (or three) drinks in one visit if that were the case. More solo/smaller tables would also be nice so I don't take space from others!

I have been coming here since Kimochi had opened this location and I'm always pleased with my…read morebubble tea!! First of all, before Kimochi, I would've had to travel to Providence or another city for boba and deal with terrible parking situations and all that unfortunate jazz. But now I can get boba that's right down the street, and where there's street parking galore! I usually opt for a milk tea with tapioca pearls, 75% sugar. I like sweet, but they are quite heavy with the sweetness so I like to tone it down just a tad. I'm a sucker for their brown sugar milk tea, but their Thai iced tea and taro flavors are good too. I was in recently and they had a strawberry banana flavor that sounded delicious but the call of the brown sugar milk tea was too strong. Next time perhaps! The tapioca pearls themselves are great. I've had some bad ones before, but never here. They are the perfect texture and they taste great. They're also usually a little warm which I love! So fresh. The cheese foam is good too if you're feeling adventurous. I follow them on instagram and they always have special festive drinks that lure me in as well, so there's always something new to try! I feel like every time I come here, the decor changes a little. What was once one of those grassy, photo op walls that you see in every trendy place is an interesting Pikachu-inspired mural. They also sell shirts, little trinkets, and stuffed animals as well. I've seen them do promotions with other companies that have also drawn me inside... such as when they were selling mochi cupcakes from a place in Boston (I did not like these) or mochi donuts (love these) before they opened Pinku next door.

They offer milk tea, bubble milk tea drinks, lemon teas, fruit teas, yogurt teas, slush with cheese foam, milk shakes, cold sandwiches, salads, cakes, snacks, and Capri Sun juice pouches. I stopped by here recently and ordered a large Taro Bubble Milk Tea ($6.50 plus tax). The iced milk tea had a slightly sweet flavor with chew bobas in each sip through the thick straw. This refreshing drink was just what I needed to cool off on an unseasonably warm day.

I switch between milk tea or slushie. I must say, their bread isn't as crusty as most banh mi places but I think that's what makes them stand out. It's a little softer but if u need that extra crunch, ask for it to be toasted AFTER it's made as well. They also have other goods like Shrimp rolls, egg rolls and crb rangoons! U can buy those right from the display case. The food I always fresh!

We've been here many times and it was good, but were pleasantly surprised to find out that it is better!! In my experience, restaurants are generally broken down into 3 categories as time passes: maintain quality, lower quality and improve their quality. Most are in the maintain quality camp, but I will give them a round of applause for getting better. The food: the Bahn Mi bread had a crispy exterior while having a soft center. The veggies were super fresh and flavorful. Everything came together perfectly! The Vietnamese Iced Coffee was bold, sweet and very craveworthy. The staff were very nice and theres definitely room to eat inside, but I wanted to take these back home so I can make an absolute beautiful mess of the crispy, flakey Bahn Mi Bread.
