    Waffle Pop
    Paul C.

    Nice tea shop offering bubble teas along with other Asian-inspired drinks and snacks. The waffle pop was something I hadn't experienced before and was a fun treat. I tried the passion fruit tea with tapioca pearls and a Vietnamese coffee--both were good. Personally, I prefer fruit slush drinks that are sweeter than straight teas. They don't currently offer those, but I think that would be a great addition to the menu.

    Mochi waffle pops, strawberry and cookies and cream.

    10/10, the mochi waffle pops were delicious, and the staff was super friendly. Overall, awesome experience. Vibey spot with great desserts. Would recommend anyone in the area to stop by and give it a try.

    Absolutely LOVE it here! The ramen bowl with their extra toppings was DELICIOUS. The s'mores milk tea is perfectly festive. The earl grey milk tea with creme brûlée cold foam tastes like cereal milk and a crowd pleaser. The Vietnamese coffee is my favorite and actually tastes like strong coffee! Bonus that it has chicory! The blueberry crunch mochi waffle is the perfect light dessert with a little tang from the blueberry. There's so much to try and so many sweet treats!

    The tastiest boba and teas in Birmingham! Leafly Boba has a huge menu of teas to choose from and freshly made mochi waffles. We tired the Gingerbread Milk Tea and the Cinnamon Egg Cream Coffee. These are both seasonal drinks and they were phenomenal! You can adjust the sweetness and add boba to all the teas here too. While sipping on our drinks, we ate some ramen from the dry goods selection. They heat up the ramen there and offer toppings that you can add. Toppings include spam, cheese, nori, quail eggs, and green onions. Post drinks and ramen came the mochi waffles. They are made to order- served fresh and warm! There's a few different flavors to choose from, each with their own combination of a sweet drizzle and cookie crumbs. All in all, the drinks are to die for and the mochi waffles are too good to skip. I beg of you, please, pay Leafly a visit on our next venture downtown.

    Ooooh love this boba tea spot! It is tucked into the cutest new development. There's some seating outside and plenty of seating inside. The workers are so sweet and available to give great recommendations. We tried a more refreshing tea and a more milk based tea - everything was delicious!! Will be returning soon!

    This was a place my girlfriend suggested and they had many options. It was different but it was pretty good. The inside was small and cute. They have a swing!!! The service was so nice and he gave me free water. lol.

    Pretty Decor

    I love Leafly Boba!! The drinks are so good and the owners Huy & Min are spectacular. They have so many different drinks to try and the prettiest most Instagram-able decor. My favorite drinks are the Earl Gray, crème brûlée and the Matcha lemonade.

    Black Sugar Jasmine Milk Tea
    Anna M.

    If you are looking for more authentic milk teas, then Leafly is for you. These are *not* the neon and bubblegum colored drinks concocted with syrups and usually way too sweet. My standby is Black Sugar Jasmine Milk Tea. It's sweeter than something like the Dark Roasted Oolong, and the jasmine makes it light and fresh. I also tried a Black Sugar Boba Mochi Waffle Pop, because of course, more boba! Super fun to eat, and I look forward to trying the other flavors of mochi waffle pop. Leafly was a little hard to find, but a lot of that has to do with the construction in the area and Urban Supply not being fully occupied yet. Leafly is right in the middle, facing a open courtyard area. Also, if there's a Barons game, parking may be a little hard to find, but the Urban Supply development and surrounding area is easily walkable. That said, I will make it a priority to visit anytime I'm in the downtown/Railroad Park area.

    Cookie Butter Milk Tea
    LaTaysia Q.

    Had the Cookie Butter Milk Tea with Boba and it was pretty good. This was my first time trying boba and honestly had a positive experience. Couldn't decide what I wanted because they have so many options that look amazing! My barista did really well on my drink and his customer service was delightful. It's such an amazing atmosphere. Very chic place. Will be returning very soon and this time I will know what I want to try!

    Mochi waffle pops

    Fruit teas are what you want to get here at Leafly. PASSION FRUIT, MANDARIN, and TROPICAL FRUIT are all phenomenal fresh flavors. I would skip the VIETNAMESE COFFEE and THAI TEA - both are too watered down for my tastes. All the MOCHI WAFFLES are served with a side dollop of whipped cream to dip in. Definitely don't miss out on it! Service is accommodating, quick, and courteous. Parking is slim, but if you can walk a few blocks you can find street parking. Beware there is lots of construction going on here during the day. Most of the available spots are taken up by the workers here.

    The vibes are nice here! Love the decor, space, and games. The mochi waffles were delicious. I do like their drinks but the boba is not the best I have had. It's not as whole and chewy and lacks flavor. Overall I do still enjoy this cute cafe!

    Swing!!

    I just love this place!! The service always great! They know their tea stuff here.. the music is always a vibe. Can say enough good things about this place! Check them out!

    It's my mission to check out at least one boba shop whenever I travel, here was my experience…read more AMBIANCE: Parking: It's in a plaza. We didn't have much issues as there was a lot of space. Seating: Both inside and outside seating. Great for groups and patio seating outside to keep you dry. Vibes: It's in a plaza, maybe 10 minutes away from Downtown Birmingham. The plaza consists of restaurants, a gym, and a grocery store. The spot itself is spacious, clean, and welcoming. A great place to hang out with friends or be friends. FOOD: Peppermint Boba (Recommend) A seasonal drink that was a pleasant delight. The peppermint wasn't too strong, it was well balanced with milk and the boba was chewy. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! The store opened and there was a rush of 3 customers. The kid in front took care of it well. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Great! This is a solid enough representation of boba so it's glad to be shared here in the Dirty South! The prices are reasonable, food is delicious, and I appreciated the range/variety they provided. For those craving a boba fix, be sure to check this place out! Shoutouts to Ashley and Tam Duong for bringing this delight to Alabama and best wishes to new owner, Hugo Anguiano, and his team on this business. TIPS: * Check online for their seasonal specials! * Check out their article! https://bhamnow.com/2021/12/17/thirstea-cafe-to-open-at-the-pizitz/

    I haven't been back here in years and let me tell you. I have missed it so so much…read more When you first pull up you can see the oriental market that is attached to Red Pearl. Once you walk in you will take a right inside and then go to be seated. The staff were all incredibly nice and checked on us multiple times. The food? Absolutely amazing. Seriously, I cant rave enough about how good it was. We sampled each other's food and it was even better than how I originally remembered! The food was a 10/10 and is such an amazing place to get food. The lights And arrangement inside looked gorgeous and it was so clean inside. We loved getting to enjoy the food and check out the super market while we were inside! We will definitely be coming back soon!

    I will drop you down a star for taking my suggestions lightly and making excuses…read more It was not the server it was most all of the servers were sitting down not doing their jobs. I had zero problems with my server . I know she was told as they all were to do the silverware. Plus I have lived in Al my whole life. I know about our heat. No your place was too hot. Your food is good but your service for the most part blows. Also a guy server said something rude to me and then when I asked him what he said he said jk. It was not felt rude it was rude when I asked him to tell me again what he said he wouldn't tell me. I heard excuses . Sorry just because you have been in business a long time does not mean I have to support rudeness or a place that doesn't care about my business. **Also if you would go down through the reviews there is a common theme your service is lacking and has been for many, many years. ** Responsibility should be taken and not excuses I will not be in a hurry to come b and my money spends elsewhere. Your loss truly! Other places appreciate my business . Too bad
