Lots of delicious choices, from traditional teas, to boba and smoothies. The staff here is passionate about their work, and have great advice to give when trying to decide on a flavor. It's a mall atmosphere, and I like that! read more

Dragonfly Tea Zone - DragonFly Teazone - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Independence, Missouri

Located in a mall food court, the experience was unfortunately underwhelming. They were out of boba (sad face) and served the drinks in styrofoam instead of clear cups. The beauty of ordering drinks from these types of places is to SEE them while they are being consumed. I think others would probably agree. The floor by the ordering area were sticky and needed a good mopping. When three out of our four drinks came out, since they were all in styrofoam cups, the lady told us which drink was which and they were all mixed up. Once my two kids and I sipped, we all were handed the incorrect drinks. My husband's mangonada did come in a clear cup. read more

My family and I love mall walking, and it's become a staple of our walk to stop here for a tea (or four) once we're ready to leave. We can't go without it! Every time we order the workers have been very patient, even with my over-the-top drink preference. I've seen a few reviews calling the workers rude or childish- I personally have never seen this, the hours can be spotty but it's never been too much of an issue for us. If you're in the center already and they're open I highly recommend! The smoothies are very fresh and sweet, the bubble tea is my favorite, it's flavorful and the boba is just the right texture for me. If you're just starting out I recommend the original milk tea, if you like sweet and fruity flavors I recommend the honeydew and the papaya, and for kids I'd recommend chocolate (Tip: if you're ordering for very young kids swap the boba for popping boba, it's usually more enjoyable for them and less of a choking hazard). You'll thank me later! read more

Horrible drinks were terrible and tasted like old sour bananas. The straws were not paper. #savetheturtles Also there were no Dragonflys. You should not deliver inside a Mall they can walk unless if they have no legs that sucks for them. read more

Love this place! Ask for a taro/cado (avacado taro smoothie mixed together) you will thank me later! read more

Literally if i could give this place a zero star i would this is the second time I've showed up around 6pm they close at 7pm and i was told that they are no longer taking orders how is it that your open until 7pm but not taking orders almost a whole hour before you close well it won't be long till this business is no longer in the mall if that's the way you are treating your customers. The girl behind the counter didn't even come out to tell me that she yelled it to me from the back. read more

So this place opened at noon when online it said differently?I read a lot of mixed reviews about this place and because I was already in the area I decided to wait until someone showed. There's an option to order online from what I've read from previous reviews. They didn't have boba until a hr after opening. So instead went with this drink. It's pretty good! They could use more people to help eliminate the wait times etc. read more

Ordered frozen almond milk bubble tea. It was watered down and when asked if they would remake it I was told I had drank out of it. How do you taste something without drinking it? read more

Yummmm e my Black Tea Bobba was amazing!!! Girls at the counter need to smile more and actually look like they enjoy having a job. I can't say nothing negative about my tea but the girls make want to not go back as much. read more

My boyfriend and I come here often to get our favorite drinks but today when we can there was a sign saying "back in 15". We've been waiting for 30 minutes now and it's a bit disappointing. read more

TERRIBLE AND SLOW EMPLOYEES. HELP WANTED? how about teach your employees to stop chit chatting too much and learn how to make drinks fast. There was this father and daughter and I can tell they waited wayyy too long for their drinks. (that father came back bc they gave him the wrong drink.) And for me I waited 30 minutes for my drink to be ready. My single DRINK! Worst absolutely the worst boba shop. Other boba shop are quick hands-on even when its busy hours. Meanwhile at this dragonfly "Zzzzzzzzzzzz..." read more

Young asian girl is rude and has an awful attitude! Went in to get a couple of drinks. I am a mall employee and asked for the typical mall employee discount. She rolled her eyes asked where I worked and then said "then I should get a discount there too right?" But with a rude attitude. I replied I haven't had any mall employees come in to shop there but I'm sure we do. She replied with "well I figured since your making us give out discounts you should too". Mind you I gave her a $4 tip which is way more than the %10 discount she applied to me. I haven't gotten dragonfly in awhile. Usually it's a good experience. The owner needs to have a serious meeting with their employees about customer service. I've seen a lot of other reviews complaining about this girl. Sounds like she needs to go. read more

The staff is lovely here! I'm thankful for them being at the mall since there isn't a lot of bubble tea options in the Independence Area. They have so much options and their boba is consistently chewy! read more

just don't. it's worth the drive to another location to avoid this one. ordered a simple milk tea with honey. i pay and get my receipt, it says "add cherry." i double checked with the employee that there wouldn't be any cherry and she says "oh no there won't be." just as another employee walks over and shows her a pink drink and says "what do you mean no cherry?" so they start to remake it only to find out they've used the last of their boba on the one they made incorrectly. they offer a refund and i asked if i could still get my drink if i got a refund because i was not aware they'd be out of boba and my drink had already been made incorrectly once. i was alright with a yes or no but the employee said yes. then the manager came over and asked if i needed a refund so i said yes. she processes the refund and i go wait at the other end. the manager asks why i'm waiting if i got a refund. so i explain the whole story again and another employee walks by and tells her to just make it. then all 6 girls behind the counter proceed to point and laugh and talk to each other under their breath. 6 employees and they're taking 15 minutes to get drinks out. not sure who was actually in charge but they're children running this store. read more

today i went to get a mango smoothie and i ordered a large and the guy working charged me for a large . when i went to grab my smoothie i noticed it was a small , before i realized it was a small i took a drink and then told the guy that i ordered a large , he looked at the recipe and i ordered a large . he took the smoothie and put it back into the blender and ADDED WATER instead of making me a new one . the taste difference was very obvious and i am not happy with my experience , i won't be back anytime soon . read more
