Joy Tea is a bit far away for this Westsider, but it's always worth it. They have an excellent…read moretopping and foam menu that lets you build and customize your drink with more options than most in town, although beginners should probably start with one of the drinks listed because it can get overwhelming. You can request sweetness level, which I always do, because I find most milk teas a bit too sweet. They also appear to serve bubble waffles in various forms and a few other dessert options, but we haven't tried them yet, although I'm looking forward to it. The service has always been professional, if a bit hands-off. The shop is a cheery, clean, yellow and white-painted space with big windows, the hipster neon sign that comes standard in boba places for selfies, plants and modern chairs, couches and standard tables for hanging out with friends. A tv was on in the corner, but it was on mute. I've been to most, if not all of the boba places in town, and Joy tea is very high on my list. If I'm ever way the heck out east for some reason, I'll always hit it up, and you should too!

This place is a vibe! They play super nice and chill music, like Steve Lacy or Frank Ocean. The…read moreinterior design is so pretty. Comfortable couches and seats or high top seats. Super clean place as well. Super good place to study and do homework or just hang out. The strawberry shaved ice was recommended by the friendly cashier who gave us really good recommendations on the desserts and drinks here. She gave us a raffle ticket to enter into their raffle for a boba plushie or two free drinks. She said they draw every week for a prize! How amazing! The drinks were very good, you can still taste the tea and it's wasn't super sweet either to mask the tea. It was perfect ratio of tea and strawberry and pineapple. Do yourself a favor a come here!

I live in an Asian shaved ice desert. Perhaps that's why I'm already super enthusiastic when I…read moretravel and find some. Simply the gratitude of it being present in middle America sets me up to have a good experience. Someone complained in a review about the "false advertisement" of having shaved ice as most Americans know it. It's hilarious to be that they assumed it to be what they know as shaved ice. If they had tried the Asian shaved ice, I guarantee they'd enjoy it and wouldn't have complained. If you know about other culture's shaved ice, you're open to try new things and let yourself be surprised. I digress. The shaved ice found here is the Korean version, Bingsu. It's very similar to other styles, but this one is mostly milk based. The menu is pretty extensive, including smoothies, yogurt, juice, coffee, boba tea, and of course shaved ice cream. We came for the shaved ice cream, so we tried the strawberry & mango first. It mixed the two, which surprised me since I had assumed it would be half and half separated. The combination worked beautifully. There was whipped cream, strawberry and mango syrup on top and we asked for mango popping boba. It was so delicious! The best way I can describe it is a feathery texture that melts in your mouth. We also tried the coconut one which came with condensed milk and coconut shavings. We also added strawberry popping boba. Highly recommend either/bob. Since the consistency is light and fluffy, even though the portions are generous, you don't feel stuffed afterwards. The place is spacious and has tall ceiling, making it very open. There's seating available on both floors. I enjoyed the Korean music playing and the tv translating the lyrics. The volume was just right (as opposed to some reviews out there complaining it was too loud). I probably wouldn't try to make calls inside though. The guy at the counter was super nice. He kept smiling really big the whole time he talked to us. Made me smile too. He also told us about the Korean cheesecake they have for sale. It looked delicious and fluffy so I got the coffee one. It was more of a sponge cake than cheesecake but it was delicious. Highly recommend.

They gave me the right ice cream and the drink! They did a real good job! They served some boba tea…read morewith my favorite flavors in it!
