It was very delicious. I also ordered the taro milk tea with boba. They really made the taro from scratch. It was definitely very different from taro milk teas I had before (especially from those that came from powder). If I ordered it again, I may up the sugar to 50% instead.

Excellent tea quality and fresh fruit made it the perfect drink on a hot day - stands strong even against fruit teas in OC. Biggest complaint is limited toppings.

Was the lychee jelly for me - it's a tablestake nowadays so wasn't pleased about that. Otherwise, the tea was good...not sure if I'll come back or wait it out until I return home.

It isn't full of bells and whistles or glam but aren't the best food places like that? In my opinion, yes! The donuts were tasty as well. I'm a sucker for a good old fashioned glazed donut and they had a caramel one with my name on it. The owner is also very friendly and courteous. I highly recommend supporting this small business and keeping boba and donuts local.

This place is great! I am frequently at the mall and I always stop in to grab a Cali girl (best in my opinion)! This was recommend to me by a young women who I thought was a part timer as she was cleaning the outside windows but after a few visits found out she was the manager. I believe her name was Bree or breet (sorry if I got this one and you're reading it). But definitely a place worth checking out. I will be a customer for as long as Arizona mills is open! read more

I came here close to 9pm a few nights ago wanting a hot milk tea with cheese foam and boba. Woman at the counter was friendly and helpful. I asked if she could make my milk tea hot and she thought about for it for a second and then said yes. She then even showed me the cup she was going to use for my hot drink and I said ok. It is plastic, so made me cringe a bit, but I let it be. Milk tea I ordered was 25% sweet and just right for me, the milk tea was very good and fragrant, but there wasn't much cheese foam left on a hot drink and the lady left out the boba. I did enjoy the milk tea as it was nice and fragrant and a good quality milk tea was used and not made from powder. I'd definitely come back here and next time, will ask for the cold one so I can enjoy the cheese foam more and make sure to emphasize that I want boba. Solid boba tea place near me, which I wasn't expecting at all and sometimes those are the best kinds of things in life.
