I visited Mr. Tea for the first time today, and I was genuinely impressed…read more The owner was incredibly welcoming and took the time to offer recommendations, which made for a great first experience. Right away, I noticed how clean and thoughtfully designed the shop is. The space feels cozy, inviting, and well cared for, with plenty of comfortable seating for meeting friends, studying, or simply relaxing with a drink. The atmosphere is what really sets this place apart. Soft piano music plays in the background while a television displays peaceful ocean scenes with fish and sea turtles swimming through crystal-blue water. A colorful mural brightens one wall, and beautiful woven rattan fish hang from the ceiling throughout the shop. There are also shelves displaying merchandise, along with many small decorative touches that make the space feel warm and unique. Overall, it creates a calm and relaxing environment that encourages you to stay awhile. For my order, I chose the Signature Milk Tea and a Bubble Waffle with chocolate drizzle. The milk tea was refreshing and well balanced. What I appreciated most was that it didn't have the powdery or overly syrupy taste that I've experienced at some other boba shops. It was lightly sweetened--just enough to be enjoyable without being overwhelming. I also loved that there are numerous add-ons and toppings available, making the drinks highly customizable. The Bubble Waffle was equally enjoyable. I kept the toppings simple so I could really taste the waffle itself, and I'm glad I did. It was light, fluffy, and perfectly spongy, with just the right amount of sweetness. The chocolate drizzle complemented it nicely without overpowering the flavor. Mr. Tea feels like a hidden gem that deserves far more attention. Between the welcoming service, relaxing atmosphere, and thoughtfully prepared food and drinks, it stands out as a step above many other boba shops I've visited. I'll definitely be back.

I know our Boise standards for bubble tea are lacking compared to other big cities, but this place definitely has quality. The setting is also very cute and welcoming.

I'm hoping to come back to try the other items like the egg coffee... i hope it's just as good as the one from Vietnam!

The server was very friendly and helpful in letting us sample different ice creams and she was quick to serve us. The atmosphere was welcoming with indoor and outdoor seating.

What sounds better on a hot summer's day than ice cream! I appreciate how many flavors that they have available at this shop. A little bit of everything! There as 4 of us today with 4 different pallets. I knew I was going to be able to try a little bit of ice cream out of everyone's cups! My girls did arrive before I did and got to check out the menu first. They got ordering first while I was figuring out what sounded good. And trust me, everything sounded lovely! But, after much debate with myself, I went with the banana pudding. This is some of the best banana pudding ice cream that I've had! I love that the banana flavoring isn't artificial tasting. There's nilla wafers in each bite. I got the kiddie size and regret not ordering the single serving. Which the single serving scoops very big! I adore a business that gives their customers their money's worth! My daughter got a chocolate ice cream with brownie and Oreo pieces. I forgot the name of it and I'm sad I did, it's a must have next time! I also tried my neice's strawberry ice cream, killer good! And I got a bit of my other niece's mint chocolate chip too. I appreciate that it wasn't overly minty like you're chewing a piece of gum. It was balanced with mint and chocolate pieces. I also like the fact that it wasn't colored with green food coloring. The venue is very big and bright. I love all the big windows that allow all the sunlight in. There's a cute kids room for the little ones to enjoy their treats. A banquet room is also available for birthday parties or social events. Pints of ice cream is available to take home and also ice cream cakes. Who needs these big franchise shops when you have these great options from a local small business. I'm happy that I got to share a fun ice cream date with my girls at this shop. Everything was so good. The customer service was 50/50 but the employees are young. Proud that they are working, out of the house and making money! I look forward to coming back with my husband and having another amazing scoop from Lovejoy's! And I'll make sure it's a bigger scoop next time around.

We ordered a matcha brown sugar latte (even at 100% sweet was not that sweet, which is great!), hojicha latte (50% sweet, but will get it 100% next time), and the matcha parfait.

The staff are extremely friendly and polite, and love their job. The table seating is ok, that's my only gripe, but it's minor and is expected to appear that way being an old fashioned family candy store. There is a certain appeal to this store that you cannot shirk from. Not only do they sell ice cream, candy, fountain drinks, and popcorn, they also sell Stuffed animals and letters/cards. It's a throwback to the days I never got to experience. To make it even better, it's only a short steps away from a small but interesting toy store next door!

It included snacks, ranging from nachos to donuts. There's also a drive-thru option if you'd rather stay in your car. We ordered their limited edition Barbie and Ken drinks. The Barbie has a more fruity, almost bubblegum, flavor and the Ken was coconut-forward. Both drinks were really sweet, so if you're a sweet tooth then it'd be perfect for you. The service was quick and friendly! Can see ourselves returning to try the other drinks on their menu.
