    We walked in as part of the Explore Lawrence 'Summer of Fun' Pass and everything was quite pleasant. We were greeted warmly and our drink was good. Not much more you can ask for when it comes to an afternoon treat!

    Every time i come in i get a smoothie with the popping boba- it's so yummy! Would be nice if staff were a little friendlier but the drink is always good (-:

    I got another drink before I left the first time I came here. I ordered the Fresh Strawberry Blend (without cheese) with Lychee jelly topping. At first, it tasted similar to the one I had in China, however the more I drank it, it started to taste sour and flavorless. The strawberry flavor was a little lacking, it tastes mainly like water slushy and I'm glad I decided to add the lychee jelly in it because it made it sweeter and tolerable to drink. When I ran out of the topping I couldn't drink anymore of the strawberry slush by itself. I would not recommend this drink. Sunday, Jan. 27th I went a second time and decided to order the milk tea again. I ordered a large size of A5 Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea. It was sooo good. I downed it in the first 15 mins of getting the drink. It was so good! Again, the milk tea was the perfect sweetness. The tapioca pearls were soft, but kind of tasted old like it wasn't cooked fresh. The first time I came, which was on Friday, Jan. 25th was way better. But I would still recommend coming, maybe a little earlier in the day. We went there at 7pm, which is closed to 9:30pm which is closing time on a Sunday night.

    Really love this place, good tasting drinks and really nice workers, one of my favorite places in Lawrence!! :D It's a little small inside but that's really the only thing I would comment on.

    This cute Korean boba spot is located in college town lawrence KS, my boyfriend and I were looking around and happen to come across this very hidden gem ! Although Parking is always a struggle in this area there is always off the street parking. But anyway back to the location. It is super cute light pink inside with a really soft vibe inside with a lot of drink choices! I got the blue herbal drink which was sooo good and had a light taste to it just how I love my drinks and my boyfriend had the mango strawberry which was a little on the sweeter side, they were both very good! Will definitely be returning when in the area

    Of the few places we have in Lawrence, I really enjoy visiting HiTea. I've spent a lot of time in Asia where you can get really cheap milk tea (my last trip, I paid less than $1.50 for the equivalent of a venti bubble tea with boba and they were amazing). Sadly, we don't have that in Lawrence, but I've still been impressed with HiTea each time I've visited. On my last visit, I signed up for their VIP program ($5) and it gets you 10% off each purchase. It also comes with three free drinks on your birthday! Each milk tea is $5~, so I paid $5 and will get three drinks for the price of one! I'm a big price of the A4, Hong Kong milk tea. The staff are friendly and prices reasonable for Lawrence.

    Cute boba place in Lawrence! They have a lot of special drinks that are both 'insta-worthy' and delicious. I recommend "Wizard of Oz" tea if you like green tea drinks. I'm not sure how I feel about their boba though. Their boba is really small in size and is slimy rather than chewy. There are 3-4 tables and a giant teddy bear by the seating area. Wifi is available so this could be a good place to grab some boba and hang out with friends.

    Still good, friendly staff! They removed the giant bear though. :( Their menu is also slightly different now, but they have more variety. My recommendation: Hong Kong style Centon milk tea with honey boba.

    The milk tea is always fantastic, and I love the Lemon Galaxy tea as well.

Probably also was Kansas-style "fresh," which means frozen that is defrosted and then sold at the higher fresh prices. Then one day, in a hurry, bought a ready-made sandwich to take out. Should have stopped long enough to read the fine print on the wrapper: It said the sandwich was four days old. I wouldn't serve a four-day-old ham and cheese to my worst enemy ... not even if it was free, unlike mine, which was extravagantly priced. Too bad Lawrence can't have a nice co-op.
