Thank God this place exists for people like me. One time I went outside and spilled my tea by mistake, and when I came back in to get napkins, they gave me two new teas free of charge.

I'm a bit of a boba tea snob and I hail from South Florida, I'm just here visiting the area. I…read moredidn't expect much from Hartford, CT. I like my boba to be actual tea plus milk and the only sweetness added comes from the boba. So, I was really grateful when I asked about swapping out the powdered milk for liquid milk. They swapped to lactaid, which is my preferred milk for milk tea. They also allowed me to adjust the sweetness and the ice level. I was still skeptical, given the unassuming store front. But they mixed real, actual, brewed tea with the lactaid. Their boba was the perfect size and consistency. I tried their black and jasmine teas and both were perfectly brewed. You'd be surprised at how often people get the jasmine tea wrong, but these guys checked all the boxes. Keep on being your authentic selves, guys!

The Nutmeg Sweet Shoppe opened in December 2024, in The Shops of Farmington, Canton CT. They have…read moreanother location called The Nutmeg Fudge Company in Torrington, CT. This location has fudge, boba tea, smoothies, and candies. This location is next to Barnes & Noble and across from Woofgang. It's in a great location with lots of foot traffic. The place was very cute and minimalistic. There were some benches and tables. On one wall, there were a bunch of candies like pop rock, push pop, gum, etc. Over at the counters, you can see the fudge and various chocolates like chocolate covered Oreos and more. They also have smoothies and boba tea. The employee was very nice. I purchased some candies on this visit. I was looking for some milk chocolate fudge for a Christmas gift, but they didn't have it, only dark chocolate. The other fudge looked pretty good; I will try that next time I visit. Overall, I'm glad to see a shop like this over at this shopping center.

Candy, fudge, boba, smoothies, and a super sweet woman who chatted with us and took our order. Located in the Shoppes at Farmington Valley in Canton (Across from Sur La Table), we happened to walk in on just their second day of business. The store looks as though it's been open for months. Everything is gorgeous to look at. There are bulk gummy candies and packaged candy boxes on the left wall, menu boards for the shakes, smoothies, bobas, bubble teas and fudge on the right wall. The center showcase has individual chocolates and fudge for you to order by the piece or by weight. We picked up two squares of fudge -an orange beauty that tasted like a Creamsicle, and a layered work of art with chocolate and nuts and toffee. Fudge is priced at $1.12/oz. They are a welcome addition to one of our favorite shopping centers and should do pretty well with their candies and fudge for the holidays. I imagine as the weather warms up in the spring, they'll do a great business with their shakes, smoothies, bobas, and bubble teas. Welcome to the Valley!

Boba tea makes my world go round and round…read more King Fu Tea was founded in 2010, in Queens, NY. There are over 350 franchised stores in the U.S. Their process is, picking the most quality tea leaves, brewing it at the correct temperature, and steeping it for the right amount of time. The tea leaves are from Taiwan and it's brewed every 3 hours; the boba is cooked every 2 hours. The strawberry lemonade and orange green tea are made from freshly squeezed juices. On this visit at the WeHa location, I was walking by and had to pop in. I ordered the small milk tea with grass jelly and normal sweetness. I loved everything about the drink. They had so many flavors to choose from, I was having analysis paralysis. There were signs to download the Kung Fu Tea app for discounts. There were plenty of seating and the place looked clean. The customer service was good. I look forward to going back to try out their other menu items.

I usually opt between some sort of Matcha or green tea of sorts, but I absolutely love their Boba and nata jelly. But my absolute favorite is the milk cap - it's a must for me.. that salty sweet combo is everything. If you are a fan of that savory combo, I highly recommend you give it a try.

I think the lady forgot the yogurt part because it came back clear but she was hustling the store by herself and I didn't care that much to correct it. I didn't add any toppings to my drink but as she was making it she suggested a few toppings and included them in my drink complimentary to try. I really appreciated her hard work and trying to satisfy the customer! This looks like a fairly new boba shop so it was pretty slow but I don't mind supporting a smaller business. There were fresh strawberry and mango pieces in my tea which you don't get at the main chains! My fiancés brown sugar tasted yummy, and had the salted cream on top!!

First off, it's definitely one of those small, tucked-away spots you could easily miss if you didn't know it was there, but once you walk in, the decor is so cute. Think cozy, shabby chic vibes that make it feel warm and welcoming right away. The standout for me? The dinner roll. Honestly, one of the best I've ever had. It was dense, rich, and satisfying, not your typical light, airy Kaiser roll. It reminded me more of a Jamaican hard dough bread in texture and weight, which I personally loved. Super flavorful and filling. I was also really happy about their buy three, get one free promotion. It made it easy to try a few different things without feeling like I was overdoing it. As for the pastries, I tried the cinnamon roll and carrot cake. I didn't finish either, but the carrot cake definitely gave true homemade vibes. It had coconut mixed in, wasn't overly sweet, and felt more traditional than indulgent. If you like a less sugary, more classic-style carrot cake, you'll probably appreciate it. Overall, this bakery is worth a stop, especially if you're exploring the pastry trail. Not everything wowed me, but there were definitely some highlights that made it a good visit.
