What made the visit stand out even more was the top-notch service from the two girls working today. They were helpful and knew how to make recommendations without being pushy. Their service actually made me decide to order a large drink! To management: please recognize these two and consider them for a promotion--they made a great impression. It was raining outside, but this stop still made my day. I would definitely come back and bring my friends!

The actual shop inside is pretty small and the drinks can take a second, since they're made to order. I got an iced ube matcha and it was refreshing with the perfect amount of sweetness.

There are at least 2 other boba places from recognizable national chains a couple blocks away, but this one is locally owned. I stopped by about a half hour before closing on a weeknight. There were a couple customers already seated in the dimly-lit space. It looked like a college hangout, with a few tables and ample space to mill around and wait while being serenaded by Taylor Swift (the soundtrack of the night). I don't tolerate caffeine too well after a certain hour, so I was happy to see that they offered a decaf tea option in the form chamomile -- an unusual option at a boba shop. I got a hot chamomile tea with bubbles and half sugar. The bubbles were rather soft, even for a hot tea drink, and sweeter than I would've preferred, but it still hit the spot on a rainy fall night. If there were a next time, I would get 30% or no sugar added to offset the bubbles and the natural sweetness of the tea. The employees seemed nice, but I didn't interact with them much. The human-run register only accepted cash, so I ordered at the kiosk to use my card.

We both really liked it. Ordering is done on a screen which is helpful as you can input all your customizations. There is plenty of seating inside along the wall and in the back of the space. It is located on a fun strip with lots of activity. We went on a Friday evening and there were lots of people about! There is no dedicated parking lot, only street parking and public lots so be prepared to park and then walk a block or two to get there.

The tapioca was pretty good but the tea was awful. People off the street came in to loiter and vape and ask for money, the booths were sticky, and someone working here was unresponsive in one of the back rooms leading to my date and I being trapped in the boba shop because there was a stretcher/paramedics in front of the door. I hope that person is okay obviously but all in all it was not my fav.

Milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, Vietnamese coffee, and some really fun specialty options like their Cream Brûlée and other unique blends. The space is super cozy and inviting with cute decor, little games, and just a really good vibe overall. You can hang out and sip or grab it to go, and the service was genuinely friendly. I left with 3 different fruit juices (fresh start, happy hour and red dragonfruit) for myself, partner and mom and we all loved them! Honestly, I wish I lived closer because Joy Cup is that girl and I would be there all the time.

There's a wide selection of drinks such as milk tea, specials, smoothies, coffees, and Vietnamese snacks like spring rolls or egg rolls. My group came late at night and the owner was so accommodating to my picky aunt. Much appreciated for making her something I've never heard of. I enjoyed my ocean blue milk tea. It has a nice caramel flavor and the color contrast is so beautiful. There are plenty of parking on the side, in front or in the parking lot across the street.

If you're looking for quality and a place with real heart behind it, this is definitely worth checking out. I wish you were in Rhode Island!! God bless.

The whole place has a funky, eclectic vibe that makes it worth exploring. It's the kind of place where you go in for coffee and end up wandering around to see what else you can discover. But let's talk about the coffee, which is why I was there. I ordered a light roast drip coffee and a house-made apple cider donut. The coffee was wonderful, with a rich, flavorful taste that made me appreciate a good cup of drip coffee. The donut was equally impressive. Soft, light, and with a genuine apple flavor that didn't get lost behind the cinnamon and sugar. A great pairing! The staff was friendly, and the prices were right in line with what I'd expect from an independent coffee shop. I also got an unexpected bonus when the barista made an extra latte and offered it to me. Naturally, I wasn't going to turn that down! Between the drip coffee and the latte, I was a little over-caffeinated by the time I left. No regrets! And I'm glad I didn't turn it down. The latte was excellent. It had a strong espresso flavor without being overpowering, which is something I really appreciate. Too often, I find espresso drinks where the coffee overwhelms everything else. This one had a nice balance. Between the quality of the coffee, the delicious donut, the friendly service, and the character of Gasoline Alley, Monsoon is definitely worth a visit. I'd happily come back, and next time I'll make sure to leave some extra time to explore the surrounding shops.

Recently been dealing with a lot so when I knew I'd have a few hours to myself; I went out for a run and came here afterwards. I just sat outside with my coffee, it was nice and quiet, nobody bothered me. The interesting thing about this place is that it's more than just coffee, they have other little kiosks. Some sell food, some sell homemade goods like candles, lotions etc. It really is a place I'll come to again, and again.
