    The environment is cozy and well decorated, making it fun. The staff were busy but attentive and were friendly. The boba was really good. The boba itself was very warm and soft, which is what I like, and the flavor of the tea was good too. If the flavor was just a little more strong it would be perfect, but overall this place has great boba tea and I highly recommend.

    While running some errands I had to look for nearby boba shops and I found this place on Yelp. Parking seemed fairly easy and convenient. The decor inside was cute. Staff were very attentive and answered all my questions. I did not have to wait very long to get my drinks. 1.Thai Tea with boba- This was pretty run of the mill TT, I asked if they brewed their tea and they said yes. It does not seem to me that Thai tea is brewed at that many places. I can't entirely tell if the tea was brewed fresh. Boba were a fairly bigger size and chewy. 3.5/5 2. Mango smoothie with Crystal boba and Mango jellies. I am not really quite sure what the foam on top of this drink was but it made it super tasty. I loved how the drink did not mix together and it was still in 3 layers when I got home. 5/5 3. Passionfruit Green tea with Grass Jelly- My sister noted that there wasn't much passion fruit flavor but she wanted the least amount of sugar so maybe that is why. She said the tea was slightly bitter but tasted freshly brewed. 4.4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance 4/5 Food: 4.3/5

    Spontaneous boba craving, Brown Sugar milk tea
    Eric S.

    I was driving home from a long day and was craving sweets, so I decided to try a new boba place close to home. I ordered brown sugar milk tea with fresh boba. The boba itself was fresh and hot, The drink as a whole was okay, maybe because I went 20 minutes before closing and they were rushing to go home? Maybe.. I Liked the cozy vibe and friendly staff. Planning to give it another shot during regular hours and hoping for a tastier experience next time..

    Jasmine Green Milk Tea & Brown Sugar Fresh Milk
    Samantha W.

    Been twice now. We've had Jasmine Milk Tea, Brown Sugar Boba Fresh Milk & Thai tea. I appreciate that they offer oat, almond and soy milk. The jasmine milk tea had a very nice flavor and aroma. Not bitter. I quite enjoyed it. The brown sugar fresh milk was yummy. I've had others elsewhere where I thought the brown sugar taste was better though but we still enjoyed it. The Thai tea was good, nice flavor. The lowest sugar they can do is 25%. The first time the boba itself was surprisingly nice. Good size, served warm, very nice level of softness and chew. Nice level of sweetness as well. Pretty good boba to drink ratio. The second time we went the boba was unfortunately super firm and although the teas were okay the hard boba made the whole drink really unsatisfying to drink so I ended up barely drinking it. My husband did notify them about the undercooked boba and they offered to remake it but said the boba would be the same. So he decided that remaking it would be pointless. I came back because the first time was great so I gave a 4 overall but coming back two days later the drink is more like a 1. So I've changed my rating from 4 to 3. Due to the inconsistencies I don't know if I'll be back.

    Earl Grey Milk Tea
    Harrison T.

    First time at Dori Boba and it was a cute shop with friendly staff and I had a decent experience overall. I ordered the earl grey milk tea with no boba and I waited about 5-10 minutes before my drink came out. My earl grey milk tea was decent with a good amount of earl grey flavor and it wasn't too sweet which I liked. The décor is pretty nice and I could see myself cozying up here to do some work or studying. I did wanna note that there was only 1 staff member taking orders and making the drinks while I saw the owner(?), an older lady, cleaning up and unfortunately not helping but I did show up at the last hour before they were closing. Overall, Dori Boba is a decent spot to check out if you are wanting a drink but not from a nearby chain like Ding Tea or R&B. There's plenty of parking in the plaza and they have a good variety of drinks to choose from.

    I have to give them five stars for the simple fact that they allowed me to bring my dog in to take a picture at their beautiful location! The staff and the service was top-tier!! My boyfriend loves the chicken and I love their Oreo milk tea. Parking is plenty and free.

    First time customer here. Asked for boba milk tea to be told that they didn't have it, so I ordered a banana strawberry smoothie- amazing!! Later I saw the menus online and saw they did have a brown sugar milk tea!! Besides that disappointing experience it's a cute place!

    Hats off to this new boba spot in Eastlake! Wide array of drink and food items, friendly staff, and the ambiance was pretty cool too (see pictures). I visited just 3 days after they opened and some flavors/ingredients were sold out (but that just means how popular they are!). I ordered the passion fruit green tea and crème brûlée "walling" aka crème brûlée is spread around the cup inside with aloe Vera--both 10/10. Will be back to try more flavors!

    Small spot, weird seating but cute. Staff was very friendly and the drink they suggested "crème brulee" was 8/10

    The interior to this spot is so comfortable like you could relax for awhile as you drink your boba. The few times I've been here I've always been helped right away and always get my drinks quickly. The drinks are ALWAYS ALWAYS fire, never been let down by the drinks here or even their suggestions.

    Come and enjoy Innovative, delicious handmade drinks and authentic toppings... definitely worth a visit! They have over 30 drinks to choose from! Service was great and the food and drinks were perfect. Ambiance was super cute especially the seated wall section ... great photo op! Fun fact: They freshly brew Butterfly Tea Flowers which creates the blue colored tea!!! Featured are my favs: Butterfly Rose Milk Tea w/ lychee jelly Fruits Tea w/ rainbow jelly Brown Sugar Matcha w/ boba and creme brûlée foam Bulgogi Fries Garlic Butter Chicken Wings

    We walked in and we were the only customers inside. Aside from the welcome and placing our order there was no other communication with the staff. Our drink was ready right away. They had some sort of music playing but it was too low to notice it. As for the drink the flavor was good, but the bobas got stuck together even after stirring and shaking the bottle numerous times. This is what kind of ruined the drink for me. Hopefully they can figure out the boba situation and then the drink will be 5 stars.

    Even Boba's like selfied

I ordered a large Sunset Beach shave ice.  Ice was incredibly fluffy and soaked up the syrup so it didn't drain to the bottom.  Flavors were passion orange, mango, and guava.  It was fruity and delicious.  My favorite shave ice in town. 2nd visit I tried the Citrus Squeeze which consisted of lime, pink lemonade, and lemon.  Once again I was impressed by how fine and fluffy the ice was.  Lime was a blast of sour lime flavor.  Pink lemonade tasted just like a pink lemonade, and lemon was a mix of sweetness with lots of sour lemon flavor.  Great flavor combination. I discovered you can buy pints of Lappert's Hawaiian ice cream.  I bought 2 pints for $11 each. Kauai Pie consisted of rich creamy kona coffee ice cream with Hawaiian macadamia nuts, shredded and toasted coconut and dark chocolate fudge.  This ice cream was thick, rich and decadent. Vanilla bean was rich and creamy with a bold vanilla bean flavor.  One of my favorite vanilla ice creams. Staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient.  Hope they get more flavors of Lappert's ice cream as Palm Springs is where I usually have to go for Lappert's.

It really feels like going to a shave ice place in Japan. There are maybe about 8 tables inside that can fit between 2-4 people. There are also a couple of seats by the register. Each table has a unique decoration. Service: There's both a digital and paper menu and then you order up front. Both times, I have waited about 20-30 minutes. It's quite a long wait for 1 shave ice but when you get your order, you can see why it takes that long since they put some detail in it. Food: I believe they change their menu, not sure how often. Both times I ordered from their specials menu and they were so delicious, the ice was soft, and their toppings complemented each other well. One shave ice is enough for 2 people, especially after dinner. Highly recommend Ko-Li for a different kind of sweet treat!
