You wouldn't expect a bubble tea place near BJ's to be this good, but TeaQ is!! We came here one…read moreday after shopping at BJ's and were happily surprised at the service and the drink selection. As a tea shop, it's very small inside but is well decorated. Every drink I ordered at TeaQ is superb, and we regularly stop by for fun drinks. One day, we showed up right as the shop was closing and we parked outside trying to find another tea shop to go. Someone from inside came to knock on our windows to tell us that we can still order and she'd make them for us. That was such a kind gesture that I still remember to this day! If you are in this area, check out TeaQ. You might be surprised at how much you like it!

I stopped by Tea Q Boba with some friends recently. The space itself is cute and well-decorated,…read morewith seating both inside and outside, which is nice for hanging out. That said, there was a pretty strong smell coming from the nail salon next door that carried into the shop and made it hard to fully enjoy our drinks. I ordered the mango green tea with boba at 50% sweetness, and it was still way too sweet for my taste. One of my friends ordered her drink at 25% sweetness and felt the same way, so even with reduced sugar, the drinks were pretty overpowering. Service was quick and friendly, which was a plus. Overall, the drinks didn't really do it for me, and If I'm in the mood for boba, I'd probably check out another spot in the Triangle next time.

I have a new coffee spot. Yup a chain!! I'm surprised myself. As a coffee snob, I usually look down…read moreon chains, but I'm a fan of Caribou - the expresso shakers to be exact. This location to be exact. Now I'm a creature of habit so I pretty much get the same thing - a caramel expresso shaker or the apple caramel expresso shaker. You won't be disappointed. That caramel apple one tastes just like a caramel apple. I've had a few of the pastries as well but none of the hot items. The pastries taste like the standard coffee shop pastries. But the coffee keeps me coming back because you can actually taste the coffee and not just sugar. Most of their drinks are sweet so adjust to your liking. I always get half sweet plus one pump and it's perfect for me. The staff are super sweet and friendly. If you come in enough, they'll greet you by name. . How lovely to be remembered. They will also customize any order without any pushback like some of the other chains do. Nice, quiet spot to get a little work done as well. The daily trivia question saves your 10 cents and the app will reward you nicely for your loyalty so get on over there and try the Carmel Apple expresso shaker. Tell them Fatima sent you.

Then lightly fried? Idk why they do this but the meat tasted off and the egg rolls wrapper were very stale. I would t get egg rolls here, doesn't feel homemade Ambiance is super cute and ordering is fast! They have self serve water Our main gripe is that we are from Southern California so it' was really weird to have that type of egg roll served. Also the rare beef is sliced very thick compared to the west coast. This causes it to be a chewier bite than we are used to. Flavors solid but the details are what makes you better than others! We typically go to BEE BANH MI but their con is that they close early NC has many cons

They have live seafood and even a miscellaneous frozen goods bar for hotpot. Price almost always beat competitors too. It's connected to a restaurant that offers build your own plate combo and bunch of BBQ options. I love coming here. Also one of the only spots around that I've found tofu pudding! They're always packed when I visit, so pack your patience!

The only thing we felt was missing from the menu was an ability to do both in one meal. A half pho, half banh mi option would be a perfect addition to the menu and has been seen at other similar establishments. I opted for the pork banh mi and it was good. The bread was both soft and crunchy as French bread should be. The pork was decently portioned and the accompaniments were great including the aioli. It has a combo meal option with a drink and fries so I also had peach bubble tea. It wasn't as sweet as I prefer, but still good. The service was quick and attentive. They came to the table to take our order or you can order up front to go. It's super casual as it is in a shopping center and it was clear they got a lot of to-go orders. I would definitely be back and glad we happened upon it!!

The menu is now Vietnamese/Thai/Korean/boba/and…read moremaybe something else that I missed but seeing a single ethnicity restaurant change to "a little bit of everything" is never a good sign. The wait for both ordering and receiving the food was long for a restaurant that was at least 3/4 empty. We ordered 2 banh mis, a soda, and a coffee. That should not have taken 45 minutes start to finish. One banh mi was ordered without mayo or cilantro. The server repeated back the order correctly. It arrived with cilantro. Given how quickly the returned sandwich came back it was clear that the kitchen had just swiped off the cilantro. Each sandwich had exactly 2 slices of jalapeño. Both the brisket and pork belly were so sweet we had to douse them in sriracha to cut through the sugar. All in all, it was okay but definitely not good.

The server was really nice and knowledgeable I couldn't decide which popsicle I wanted and she help me choose. She said that the pineapple was popular but she liked the lime mint and that's what I went with because it sounded extremely refreshing. The popsicle was soooo delicious. It was refreshing and just enough of mint and just enough of lime. The popsicle was so good that we went back and got a second one this time the strawberry + cream and that one was just as good. My husband and I wondered if we could buy them from a store. Overall great popsicles, refreshing and perfect for a hot day.

Tried for the first time today after being told that I MUST try bubble tea…read more Upon entering I was immediately greeted and asked if it was my first time there. It was, so I was given a tour of the shop and was explained on how the "system" worked. I decided to order the Mango flavor bubble tea, as bubble tea was my intention for the visit. Though I was very tempted by all the yummy yogurt options, so I think a return visit will be very soon!!! They had some wonderful fresh flavors of yogurt and even some odd ones that still looked tasty, like Taro. Huge and I mean HUGE selection of toppings! Anything from candies to chocolates to nuts to granola. A bar full of fresh fruits that all looked perfectly ripe and fresh. And then another section where you could add syrups and powders to your yogurt. My bubble tea was made to order, I would have loved to have seen them make it in front of me just to see the process. They make it in a back room instead. They had several flavors to choose from such as Mango, strawberry, coffee, green tea, taro and several others that I can't remember. They also make bubble tea smoothies, but they suggested I try the original for my first time. As for the bubble tea, yumm!! It's sweet and creamy and cold! Not too sweet, you can tell its just sweet from the fruit. I would have liked it to be a touch colder but maybe the smoothie style would satisfy that for me. The tapioca balls at the bottom make for an eye catching drink. They don't have much of a flavor but are fun to chew slightly and swallow. I also wanted to add how NICE the staff was!! So welcoming and lots of smiles!! I loved that! The store was spotless! Everything clean and fresh looking. Not a drop of sticky anywhere!!!! Lots of seating including outdoor seating which will be nice on cool nights. Good work citizen yogurt, I shall be back soon!!
