I've been here several times since it's conveniently right next to my family's favorite restaurant!
What initially intrigued me about Ever Taste is that they supposedly brew the tea fresh for each drink, and they use fresh milk instead of the powdered stuff.
In my experience, be prepared to wait a LONG time for your order. Each time I've visited, my order has taken 30+ minutes to be prepared (granted, I'm usually ordering multiple drinks for my family). I would highly recommend placing your order in advance on their website if you don't want to wait forever.
The inside is quite small and can get very busy during peak times, so it can feel a little claustrophobic. There are two kiosk stations to order from, but things get confusing when you can't tell if people are waiting in line to order or have already ordered and are just waiting for their drinks because the space is so small. I've noticed both myself and others going back to our cars to wait.
I also wouldn't really recommend this place if you're looking somewhere to sit, hang out, or study unless you happen to go during a slower time.
Anyway, onto the drinks themselves!
Overall, I think they're pretty solid, but not the absolute best I've had (if you're curious, TP Tea is my favorite boba tea shop in DFW). The fruit drinks are nice and refreshing, and they do use fresh fruit. However, while I appreciate the freshness, I actually think frozen fruit can sometimes help create a better texture if you want something more slushy. I wouldn't describe the fruit drinks here as having that icy/slushy consistency; they're softer and more like blended fresh fruit.
The tea drinks are very aromatic and fragrant. Supposedly, the tea is freshly brewed for each drink, which probably contributes to the longer wait times. You can DEFINITELY taste the tea, which I know is probably a huge plus for tea lovers. Strangely enough, though, I've discovered that I'm not necessarily the biggest fan of that freshly brewed tea flavor, even though it sounds like it should be better! It reminds me a lot of the tea my mom would make from fresh tea leaves growing up. I guess that's technically a compliment to the quality, but apparently my taste buds don't align with it.
Out of everything I've tried so far, my favorites have probably been the Mango Pomelo Sago, Tieguanyin Milk Tea, Watermelon Sago, and Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Tea.
Lastly, from all my visits, the texture of the tapioca and sago pearls are always spot on!
Overall, I think Ever Taste is worth trying, especially if you really appreciate strong, freshly brewed tea flavors and fresh ingredients. Highly recommending ordering ahead, as the online ordering platform is the same exact one used in the store kiosks. read more
