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.

I hope they keep the same prices in the future bc many places are well over $20 for 2 bubble tea drinks. There is not much space to sit down since it's located in the Market, however great for a pick up and getting grocery shopping done. Our cashier was very sweet and respectful. She was doing the best she could even though many of the flavors that we wanted were out. Once they get their shipment to stock inventory, it will be great! Only 4 stars bc was confused where the boba store was located once arrived to the location. Had I not been familiar with the area, I would have turned around. It would be great if they can add a sign to the main market sign to mention the Boba Store! Store: The packaging for the boba drink was easy to push the straw through. Was able to put my straw in on the first try!

They have murals on the wall that are great for photo ops, colorful tables and chairs, benches, and games to play including a mirrored tic-tac-toe game mounted on the wall. The order window is surrounded by a greenery wall complete with neon "My Happy Place" sign. It definitely is my happy place! The service is outstanding. It was my first time, so I had a lot of questions about flavors and ingredients. The lady that helped me didn't make me feel rushed at all and pleasantly described the items I asked about. I ordered a lemon blueberry tea with blueberry boba and the Shark Bite, both as slushes. Both were wonderfully delicious and a frosty relief from the heat. Both drinks had a great amount of boba. They also offer a number of delicious looking bowls that I will be back to try. I highly recommend this place. Don't forget to give them your phone number for their loyalty program!

I stopped by just before 9am on a Thursday morning and the case was nearly empty! I'm assuming this is because everyone had already picked out their dozen to bring to work. So get there early if you want to get all the options! They have a great menu of Mexican options, in addition to my half-dozen of assorted donuts, I got the breakfast burrito with sausage. FIRE. I will be back for the Mexican breakfast. The burrito was egg and guac and sausage and served with a great, mild tomato sauce on the side. I split this with my dad, but if you're hungry the full thing is a filling breakfast. They have wifi and an upstairs area that would be a great place to study or work! Treat it like a coffee shop! I'll be back!

It seemed like Mexico's version of a "China Town" or "Little Italy" in Hoover. I have not seen anything like this around here. My friend Tina and I tried Mexican sweets here, and I also had a snack of the Crazy Doritos. This place is very whimsical and cute. Perfect for kiddos and families. There is a ton of space too. They have ice creams galore here. It was hard for me to choose! I went for the prettiest one I saw and that turned out to be the Birthday Cake flavor. It was delicious! Tina had the mangonada that looked very good. I was wanting a salty snack too, so when I saw the Dori-Lokos or "Crazy Doritos" I knew I wanted to try it. The lady working there asked me twice if pork skins was okay for her to top onto them. I said sure. Little did I know what I was about to experience! They were actual pork skins that were like a cartilage or jello like texture. I assumed they would be like the crispy bagged variety you see in stores. It was an experience for sure! I liked it, but I probably would not order it again. The Crazy Doritos were also topped with a sort of nut that I liked, cucumber, and hot sauce. I just can't believe I was not in Mexico when I came here. I'm really glad we have places like this that can make some people feel like home and allow other to just have a different experience. It sure was memorable!

There is plenty of table and couch sitting in the front and back of the store, and the side of the street it is on gives it so much natural light to the front sitting area. - Coffee: The coffee was excellent, and there were a ton of flavor and mix options. I also give them extra props for the extra non coffee drink options they had. - Food: The store had several pastry and treat options, but they also had full meal options. I was excited to see that they had so many breakfast choices. As the shop was about to close, we tried mostly treats. Specifically we tried the cheese straws, strawberry cake pops and peach pound cake. I enjoyed the cake, but I think the cake pop was my absolute favorite of the three. - Prices: while some of the treats were a little expensive, most of the main drink and food options were on par to other coffee shops. - Staff: The three girls we spoke to were an absolute delight, and so pleasant. - Merch: The store had a few items such as t-shirts, candles and mugs available I give this shop a 4/5 's and will definitely be back. It is thankfully on my route from current home to my old hometown, so hopefully I will get to see them again soon.
