A small but clean tea shop…read more Former coffee shop and specialty tea shop barista here! I stopped by Y Bubble later in the evening about an hour before close for a pick me up and the place was pretty quiet. A few customers came to pick up orders, but otherwise it was just me in store. The place was extra clean with board games in one corner for customers to play, and the barista was pretty quick with my order. My original order was a Matcha Jasmine Milk Tea with Tapioca Boba and Almond Milk, but after I was rung up and the barista went back to make the drink itself, she informed me that they were out of Almond Milk but could do Coconut instead. Since I'd paid the extra amount for a dairy replacement, I agreed. The resulting drink was interesting to say the least. Had the drink been a plain matcha milk tea with coconut milk or a matcha jasmine with a milk substitute that didn't have such a strong flavor of its own it would have been fine, but the three bold flavors together in one drink were super confusing. It was tropical with floral notes that didn't pair well with coconut, and the matcha just didn't have a chance to shine between the two. Not to mention that the mixed flavor profile was so muddled I could not discern if the boba was made in a brown sugar or honey syrup; the taste was just completely lost. The drink altogether was fine, but this is a combination I can't say I'd order again. Given the hiccup in the visit, I know need to give this location another try. A place being out of a certain ingredient for the day isn't a bad thing, but in this particular instance it made a weird enough drink that lessened the overall experience.

The setup made the space feel strangely empty and crowded at the same time, and the vibe was a little awkward. I ordered the chrysanthemum honey ginger tea at 50% sweetness. The sweetness level was good--just barely sweet, perfection for me. Every so often I'd get a concentrated glob of honey that was much sweeter. I'm not sure if this was an order of operations issue, honey and iced tea vs hot honey tea with ice. Unfortunately, the chrysanthemum flavor was nonexistent. I'm not sure if the tea hadn't been steeped long enough or if the flowers weren't very fresh, but I was hoping for that distinctive floral chrysanthemum flavor and really couldn't taste it. Not a bad experience, but definitely not as enjoyable as I was hoping for on my second visit.

-- Extremely disappointing experience from a longtime customer…read more My wife and I have been going to Ola Boba since they opened, and we've always enjoyed their boba and the friendly service. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was extremely disappointing, both in terms of quality and customer service. Both boba drinks were very flat, excessively icy, and lacked their usual flavor and creamy consistency. Something was noticeably off with the balance of ingredients, whether it was the milk, sweetness, or preparation. Even the tapioca pearls tasted unusually plain, without the sweetness we've consistently experienced here over the years. We brought this to the employee's attention and asked whether the drinks could be remade or corrected. The original drinks were taken back, but what we received afterward was hardly an improvement. I'm not sure exactly what was done, but the drinks now tasted excessively sweet rather than having their usual balanced flavor. The presentation was equally disappointing. The cups were messy, liquid was dripping down the sides, whipped cream was smeared around, and the plastic dome lids were dented and pushed inward. The drinks looked crushed and carelessly handled, especially considering they had already been returned once because of quality concerns. Unfortunately, the customer service made the experience even worse. The employee assisting us came across as rude and dismissive, which was particularly disappointing because the staff here have typically been welcoming and friendly. While my wife and I were seated inside the restaurant, facing toward the parking lot, apparently the employee called our name to let us know our drinks were ready, but we didn't hear her. Rather than approaching our table to notify us, she walked away and left the drinks sitting there. It wasn't until another server, who appeared to work for the adjoining restaurant rather than Ola Boba, came over and informed us that our drinks were ready. At that point, after already having the drinks returned for correction once, we weren't going to ask for a third attempt. We simply took them and left. What makes this especially unacceptable is that we paid almost $15 for just two boba drinks. That's not an insignificant amount of money, especially in this economy, when people are being more mindful of how they spend their hard-earned money. At that price, expecting drinks that are properly prepared, taste the way they're supposed to, and are presented professionally is not asking too much. Instead, we paid nearly $15 for two disappointing drinks, an unsuccessful attempt to fix them, and an unpleasant customer service experience. That's simply not acceptable. We understand that Ola Boba is temporarily serving its drinks out of the neighboring restaurant, and we have no issue with that arrangement. However, operating from a different location shouldn't result in such a noticeable decline in the quality, preparation, presentation, and service that longtime customers have come to expect. This was a one-star experience across the board: disappointing drink quality, an unsuccessful attempt to correct the problem, unacceptable presentation, poor value for nearly $15, and customer service that fell far below what we've experienced here over the years. It's especially frustrating because we know how good their boba normally is. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and restores the quality and welcoming service that made us regular customers in the first place. I'm open to updating this review based on future experiences and genuine improvements.

The shop's pretty small with only a couple of tables to sit at, but it had a pretty chill vibe, the baristas were kind enough to explain the menu and were quick with orders, and there was a pretty solid menu to select from. I ordered a simple Brown Sugar Milk Tea, and while it wasn't the best tea in the world it was still very much refreshing. My fiancé has been removing sugar from his diet, so he was very excited as they were able to make him a sugar free Matcha Latte. He seemed to really enjoy it! The Macarons looked so tasty, so next time I'm nearby I'd love to try a couple. I'd recommend this shop for a refreshing break!
