    Passion fruit green tea
    Emily P.

    I got a matcha milk tea 6/10 And a passion fruit green tea with lychee popping boba 9/10 2 drinks was $14, not out of the ordinary. I was satisfied. The family is running it themselves and they're nice people. I came right before closing time and they were still ready to make whatever we needed even with chairs on tables. :)

    I came in at 730pm to get boba with a friend since I checked that they don't close til 9pm. I got a taro milk tea with regular boba at 25% sweetness and it was very average but a bit warm. We waited several minutes to place our order as the worker was making a few other drinks. We sat down and at 815pm the worker started turning customers away claiming that they were closed. They started wiping the floors and putting the chairs up so by 830pm we just decided to leave. I probably wouldn't bother to come back here if I wanted to enjoy my boba in the store.

    This place has never been a disappointment. I love the taro boba here! Different from other boba spots they have a lot of food options here. You can get Pho, Nachos, Fried Rice, Tamales, or Enchiladas here. This place is all anime themed so eating in is very comfortable!

    taro milk tea "with extra taro"  supposedly

    would not recommend taro milk tea. customer service was great. Cat was super sweet and very welcoming. I got taro milk, tea, which I have gotten many places one of my go to's out of a few favs usually. This tasted like sweet milk. I explained how I like my tea/flavor of the tea to be pretty strong apparently there was even an added scoop of taro with that being said I can only imagine imagine how it would of been with out any extra taro NOT a Fan. I am assuming based off of that that their tie tea would be just as sweet and not flavorful :(

    Very bad experience, ordered a rice meal & gave me soup...why would i have soup in a 3-digit weather

    Boba menu 8/2023

    It's a small cute place, staff was friendly. Both teas were a little too sweet for my taste. Good but we didn't finish them. They only have one size available which if you have small kids isn't great since they really can't finish a large drink. Also tried the fried rice without meat, it was good. Better the next day.

    Vanilla latte

    Dry clean place. The drink menu is great. Got latte with non dairy creamer and 50% sweetness. It was amazing. The stuff was very friendly and accommodating.

    tea with boba

    Good place for a boba tea. Nice tea flavor, well-cooked boba, reasonable price. Options to adjust sweetness and ice. Worth a stop if you are in the area.

    Boba Whaaat is finally open! Came in to try their milk teas & they did not disappoint! I was immediately greeted as I walked in & helped by the owner! We got the Okinawa milk tea (HIGHLY recommend) & their assam milk tea. Both were so good & definitely met my expectations. I am excited to come & try their food next time I come!! The owner of the nail salon next door (Central Nails) is also the owner of this boba shop! So happy to see a small business owner thrive & grow! Come by & support you will not regret it :)

    Teas & eggrolls
    Allison B.

    First impressions are everything and this boba shop made a great one! The passion fruit green tea had a pleasant flower note at the end of each sip. Tonight we sampled the egg rolls which were 3 for $5 and were accompanied by a yummy sauce! We also had an opportunity to try their beef pho which you can tell by the smell is made in house. Aside from being happy with all of the food and beverages we sampled and the fact the shop is clean and modern. We are thrilled that we have a boba/pho shop in close proximity! Historically we were driving across the valley for the items this shop offers and now it's right across the street! This is a great option for anyone looking for a quick boba fix in the Arcadia area.

    Went here 3 times during our trip to Phoenix. The boba was perfectly sweet, not too sweet! And service was stellar.

Cool bar setup with baristas making specialty drinks. I was between 2 drinks and but got the Rafa (recommended). Sooo good. Got it with oat milk and it was creamy, smooth, not too sweet, with a subtle nutty buttery flavor. Barista handed it to me which was sweet. I saw another barista like delivering to people sitting so that's always nice. Also grabbed the Miso Pecan Spelt Cookie Crispy, chewy, not too sweet. I went right before 10am and some desserts were sold out already! I'd come back for sure. Sit down and try something else.

They don't have bahn mi sandwiches like an older review mentioned but they do have ready made cold cut sandwiches and freshly made açaí bowls.

They have real plants placed in different areas of the cafe and everything seemed to be well maintained. Today we tried four different flavored Vietnamese coffees- pandan, ube, sea salt, and egg foam. All of the flavors were on point but one flavor that left an impression on me was the pandan flavor. It wasn't too sweet, yet you can taste the pandan flavor and it was easy to drink. If you haven't had Vietnamese coffees before and you are in Arizona, looking for caffeine refill, I highly recommend you go check out Cafe Mollie. This place offers plenty of free parking spaces.

    If I could give a place 10*s, Lux has more than earned the title…read more Cool space coffee shops are definitely a thing in Phoenix lately--but Lux was the "design-genius-with-a-latte-machine" long before coffee shops were even a thing here. I've been frequenting this architectural marvel for over 10 years. While so many new shops try to mimic this vibe, none of them are Lux. Lux is King! The 11-Year Flashback: I looked back at my review from 11 years ago when I docked them a star for the "nightmare parking." Back then, I was a "to-go" only person who never envisioned myself as a laptop-hipster hanging out. Well, times change! I'm bumping them up to 5 stars now. Maybe it's the new competition nearby or my better timing, but the parking is a breeze, and I've officially embraced the "comfy chair" lifestyle. The "Cheers" Factor: What really sets this place apart is the people. After a decade of visits, it truly feels like Cheers--where everybody knows my name! Getting to know the folks behind the counter makes every visit feel like coming home. The Sip of the Night: I shifted from my usual plain Cappuccino as my target drink to include in a review to feature their Espresso Martini. I went with a Reposado base instead of the typical vodka, and it was stellar. With two full bars in addition to the coffee and pastry bar, craft drinks truly abound here! (Note: they have an amazing cappuccino too) The Comfort Classics: You cannot leave without the food. My go-to favorites? The Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese and the legendary Chocolate Chip or Red Velvet cookies. Return Factor: 100% I've been coming here for a decade, and it's still the gold standard. As I said in my review 11 years ago: "I see a book, comfy chair and cocktail in my future! Stumble home... Repeat." Still true today! #PHXCoffeeShopTour #1CupAtATime #LuxCentral #PhoenixOriginal #EspressoMartini #FlashbackReview
