    Such a beautiful and clean location. The Lady who helped me was very nice and helpful. I got a mango milk tea and YUMMY! I loved it ! 10/10 experience !

    Really cute and unexpected boba shop! The interior looks earthy and aesthetic, and would be great for hangouts or study sessions (not sure if they have WiFi, though). Apparently this location used to be a Ding Tea, but now it's a small business called Layers. They have a lot of standard drink options and some fun ones, including tea, flavored teas, milk tea, coffee, and the like. I got the house milk tea, which is made with Assam, at 50% sweetness with egg pudding as an add-on. Also, I'm pretty sure the barista said they use non-dairy milk/creamer here, but I didn't ask for specifics. My drink turned out quite tasty. Since it was 50% sweetness, you can still taste the tea, and it wasn't too sugary. They were also really generous with the egg pudding and filled up like 1/4 of the cup with pudding. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 because the toppings are kinda pricy compared to other shops, though I think the portion is fair. And I wish they had a 75% sweetness option instead of going from 100% to 50%. Def will stop by to try another drink when I'm in the area!

    Was looking for somewhere nearby to grab a quick sweet drink and stumbled upon this super cute shop so glad I did! The space was clean, calm, and had a really chill vibe. The woman who helped us was incredibly friendly and quick, which we really appreciated. Now for the drinks: we ordered a Passionfruit Guava Green Tea and a Guava Green Tea, and both were perfectly balanced sweet, refreshing, and not overpowering. Each drink came with a slice of orange peel, which added the best extra citrusy note and made them feel extra fresh. Honestly, I'd recommend this small business over any of the nearby overrated boba spots. Quality drinks, great service, and a cozy atmosphere we'll definitely be back!

    Layers Boba is our absolute favorite Boba Place. This used to be a ding tea and though that place was good, it's nowhere near as good as layers. In fact it's the only Boba Place we visit now. The flavors are rich, the Boba and toppings are Super fresh and the drinks are always consistently wonderful. I highly recommend Layers!! I wanted to update my review because I have a new favorite drink, it's a mango juice drink and it's absolutely delicious. I get it with less than 50% sweetness and include aloe jelly. I'm normally a super sugary cream based drink fan but I have really come to love these refreshing fruit drinks with no caffeine. They are AMAZING.

    Caramel Oolong Milk Tea + Golden Boba

    I've been coming to this location ever since it was a Ding Tea, and trust me, it's always been a good experience! My personal favorite is the caramel oolong milk tea with golden boba, always made to the perfect ratio of flavor and creaminess, however if you prefer coffee, the avopresso is one to make the drive for! From when you place your order, to when you receive your drink, is barely a few minutes! Recently the owner purchased the location, making it Layers, and with that, they also did a nice new remodel of the area! And throughout this change, the quality I remember hasn't changed one bit. And since I personally know the people who own this location, take it from me when I tell you, they are masters at making drinks delicious! + WiFi + Use of non-dairy creamer (no lactose) + Food/snacks

    Fresh and delicious. I have never tasted a Thai tea like it!!! I like how a lot of their flavors you can ask for 50% sweet or 25% sweet.

    Mango with star shaped jelly

    Best boba spot ! The owner is so sweet always makes good recommendations and wants to be sure u like your drink before u leave.

    It definitely was not what I was expecting. A messy little cafe tucked away in the corner of a…read moreWestminster plaza with eclectic decor and a bunch of furniture and supplies laying about. A (coffee?) stained curtain. Cafe employees watching Netflix after they serve you. I'm genuinely convinced this is intentional, It reminds me of a simpler time like going over to a friend's place and hanging out in their living room. I had a matcha affogato and my partner had an immortality tea. Both delicious and served with a genuine smile. Definitely a different experience and I'm grateful for it. 5/5 this place is based.

She actually said, "Oh sorry, the lid isn't closed all the way. I tried to seal it twice but it wasn't working. I hope that's okay." It's definitely not okay when we have no other choice in the matter! Aside from the messy packaging, the drink was way too bitter. I really wasn't a fan. 1/10 Vibes - I want to touch on what the inside of the business looks like because... wow, it was jarring. It felt like I walked into some dude's basement. Mismatched curtains everywhere, 2 fish tanks that were straight up brown and green and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a yr, and sus couches just scattered around for no reason. There were cat treats sitting out too which was confusing because apparently there's a cat there?? There were like, 12 dudes sitting there and all watching whatever anima thing was playing on the tv. Absolutely not my vibe at all, but clearly it's catering to a very specific demographic. Cost - $7.65

I placed my order online for pickup, and it was ready in about 10 minutes, which was super convenient. The drinks were a mixed experience. My Matcha Oreo Crème Brûlée was absolutely delicious, rich, creamy, and easily my favorite. My mom loved her Peach Green Tea too; it was refreshing and had just the right amount of sweetness. Unfortunately, my husband's Cookie Butter Coffee was a disappointment. We ordered it at full sweetness, but it wasn't sweet at all. Instead, it tasted overwhelmingly bitter, and we couldn't taste the cookie butter flavor whatsoever. After trying it myself, I had to agree. Overall, the quick service and most of the drinks were great, but the Cookie Butter Coffee definitely missed the mark. I'd come back for the matcha and fruit teas, but I'd probably skip the coffee next time.

Some are definitely worth trying, while others are just okay. Mango Mellow: Pretty good! I think this is one of their better drinks. It was refreshing and had a nice balance of sweetness without being too sweet or too sour. It had a nice combination of flavors. Strawberry Yuzu: Somehow it was super sour and sweet at the same time. Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea: Pretty simple, but it was made well. I liked that it wasn't overly sweet and the flavors felt balanced. Service: Pretty efficient, sweet, and helpful! Ambiance: Clean, small space with a very casual vibe. You can sit inside or outside, and the windows let in a lot of natural light, making the place feel bright and inviting.

Whilst I was there they were having a promo buy one get one on their harumi matcha latte. I indulged, purchasing a strawberry and mango under the offer. The matcha is slightly bitter and slightly sweet. The cream(?) liquid they use helps with the silkiness of the beverage which is generally smooth in the first place (likely sifting any chunks of matcha). The fruit base isn't overpowering and helps compliment the sweetness with a hit of fruit flavor rather than obscuring it (out of the two, I prefer strawberry). All in all, a delicious fruit matcha latte and bodes well for their milk tea drinks which I was originally there for. Hope to come by again sometime!
