Taro boba with egg pudding
Sofia P.

The taro boba slushy is my favorite! First time here and it was delicious! The service was good and they were busy when I went. The ambiance is casual and chill. There are places for you to sit and enjoy your drinks. Definitely will come back when I'm in town.

I love this boba spot so much. They decorated for Christmas and looks so festive! It's very easy to order, you can use the kiosk or talk to the cashier. I love sweets so being able to customize my drink is a must! I had a craving for boba, pudding, and ice cream so I was able to put it all in one drink! I got the tiger milk with light boba, pudding, and ice cream. It's my new favorite drink when I'm craving a cold dessert.

Nice environment, even better boba! Tiger sugar milk tea was really tasty. Perfect sweetness and the boba was soft

There is a kiosk for easy ordering but there is also a cashier there if you prefer to order with someone. There is so many options is a little overwhelming. I went with the strawberry matcha with boba! The cashier made recommendations, which I appreciated. My drinks were made quickly despite it being busy.I would definitely come here again to try something else.

Jasmine Milk Tea
Jazmine R.

We had a hearty meal at a restaurant nearby and were stuffed but I can always make room for bubble tea! It's gotten a little interesting with the variation of quality in different It's Boba time locations since their continued expansion over the years. THIS location is great ! It is clean and the staff are friendly, fast and efficient. I normally ask for light boba (they missed this part) but overall my jasmine milk tea was delicious!

I love coming here because they have a wide selection of drinks. My favorite is the pistachio milk tea with milk foam and boba. They have a large selection of desserts as well some some savory dishes. If you are going to be ordering, I recommended ordering from the app and go to pick up. Either way, the staff are very quick in getting the drinks out.

Taro Smoothie Coffee Milk Tea (Duet) Coconut Strawberry Smoothie
Sarah L.

Came back for some more Coffee Milk Tea (Duet) and other drinks. I had a mobile order and think it's great they leave them in their fridge/freezer till we pick up! I was worried the smoothies were going to be melted by the time I got there. Thank yall!

Rose matcha with boba
Bella B.

Used the mobile app because I'm antisocial and loving all these apps these days. Plus I have kids so I like to order ahead and have it ready when I get there. App was easy to use 20% off first order $5off after your 15th drink .... I don't know why 15 sounds like a lot of drinks to get through... All the milk options (for the extra cost) Can't adjust sweetness ! This is important to me Also on website (not app) they have nutritional info which is pretty cool! Be awesome if this was also on the app. I like to make sure I'm not drinking a drink with like a million grams of sugar lol I ordered large matcha rose milk tea with boba. Light ice and 50% sweet (50% was as low as it would get for this drink) cost $6 before 20% off discount. Boba was a little chewy... maybe because it was like 3pm? Otherwise I enjoyed my drink... it was my v day gift to myself lmfao I ordered it and due to delays (kids tantrums) it took me 15mins to get there and it was ready for me :) wish there was pick up space right in front of the store. All the parking spots were taken directly in front of the store.

Large Tiger sugar milk $5.50
Erica G.

They took away our churroholic, but this is really good too. I ordered the tiger sugar milk boba, which they use brown sugar. Pretty good! I would definitely come back. They have very tasty boba! I am always hesitant to try new boba spots because not all of them are hits. These feel a little smaller than the typical boba, but the taste to me is what matters most. Paid $11 for two large, so $5.50 each. The regular size is $4.75.

I went here with a best friend yesterday and I LOVED IT!!…read more The self serve boba was delicious and I love how you can really just fill up your cup with just boba if you'd really like. Free will is truly powerful. I got the hokkaido tea which I believe was a new menu item. DELICIOUS. It really wasn't too busy on a Tuesday night and the interior vibes were really cute. Elaina (sorry if I misspelled!!) helped my friend and I and was very kind overall. We were having a quick chat since there weren't any customers and she was very accommodating and gave us a few recommendations for our next visit! I'm dialing in the fruit teas next time for sure.

Parking: The location has a large parking lot, so finding a spot was quick and easy. Service: The team members were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Drinks: I tried the Brown Sugar Milk Tea, and it was really good! My sister usually gets the Jasmine Tea from here and says it's delicious too. I did forget to add ice to mine today silly me! Thankfully, it still tasted great. Overall: I had a great experience! I especially love being able to control how much boba goes into my drink. Sometimes I want just a little, and other times I want the cup loaded, so having that option is a major plus. I'll definitely be back!

There are a lot of recommendations here for the more intriguing and classic menu items...and I should have gone with one of those. The Brown Sugar Matcha from the special menu was very sweet and not too exciting. I ordered at the kiosk and it was helpful because there were photos of the drinks so you could get a preview of what they look like. Ordering at the kiosk was straightforward. After a short wait, I got my drink. The bathroom was out of order when I visited. The drink was really sweet. If I go again, I would minimize the sweetness. The boba was great. It tasted good and it was the right consistency. I joined the app after my transaction so it was too late to get credit for this one. But I'm ready for next time.

We also tried the Classic Krak Signature Milk Tea, which was really flavorful and well-balanced. The service was friendly, the shop was clean, and the ambiance made it a great place to sit and enjoy our drinks. The only drink that wasn't for me was the blended taro. I know taro is a root vegetable, but this honestly tasted like I was drinking a blended potato. It wasn't what I was expecting flavor-wise, so I personally wouldn't order it again. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the Crème Brûlée and the Signature Milk Tea. Those alone made the visit worth it!

Yolo's Café has quickly become one of our favorite spots for matcha! My husband and I usually get…read morethe Banana Matcha and the Biscoff Cookie Matcha, and both are incredible. The matcha flavor is just right not too overpowering and the cream cheese cold foam is seriously TO DIE FOR. Our favorite has to be the Banana Matcha, though! We've also tried their croffles, and we decided to share one... BIG mistake LOL. Next time, we're definitely getting our own! The workers are always super nice and greet us every time we come in, which I really appreciate. They also have a little punch card where you can earn a free drink once you fill it up, so of course we love that! The only downside is the parking lot. It fills up really quickly, and finding a spot can definitely be a pain, especially when it's busy. But honestly, that's a small inconvenience for how good everything is! We'll definitely be back!

I saw a TikTok about this cafe, and I was so excited to try it!…read more I got two Vanilla Lattes (Iced), one Matcha Latte (Iced) with Cream Cheese Cold Foam, one Matcha Latte (Iced) with Regular Cold Foam, and one Strawberry Matcha Latte. All of the drinks came with little breadsticks which I thought was so good dipping into the cold foams! The Matcha Latte (Iced) with Cream Cheese Cold Foam was delicious! The Cream Cheese Cold Foam isn't super overpowering, but you can taste it in your drink, and it tastes great. I've never seen it offered at other cafes, but I liked it! The Strawberry Matcha Latte had strawberry puree and strawberry bits in it so you had to drink it with a boba straw. The drink was good! The Matcha Latte (Iced) with Regular Cold Foam tasted great as well. It almost tasted like a Matcha KitKat so it was pretty good. The cafe itself was empty when I came in, but the cafe quickly filled up with big groups. There's plenty of seating and tables, and all the seats are padded and comfortable. I could see this cafe being a fun study spot. There's also some board games and manga if you come with a big group. Parking is a bit chaotic because the parking lot is all bumpy, but parking isn't hard to find in the plaza. The employee was very kind and helpful. We didn't know there was coffee on the menu until he pointed us to where it was. He made the drinks very quickly, and he was very informative about the drinks. I would come here again! There's so many drinks on the menu that I would love to try, and I love trying out a new study spot!
