    I visited CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice after having a weekday lunch with a former co-worker. We don't…read morehave this boba tea chain in my hometown as the nearest location is over 100 miles north. It was a snowy afternoon so the customer volume was likely lower than usual at the shops of The Courtyard in Ann Arbor. The suite had a bright orange awning and about ten tables of various sizes for seating. Several power outlets were available along one wall for students to plug in their electronics and hang out because this business was across from a large college campus. Two self-service kiosks were at the counter where you could place an order. A menu board was hanging on the wall to the left for quick reference. Just drinks were served here as no food was offered. The categories were milk tea, fruit tea, slush, chocolate, yakult, macchiato, fresh milk, and tea. Six recommended choices with photos were listed at the top of the board. I selected the second one which was the Tropical Special. This drink was from the fruit tea category which was likely where I would have made a selection anyway. Passionfruit green tea with pearls and coconut jelly were the ingredients. I requested light ice and normal sweetness. The tea flavor wasn't strong, and the pearls were chewy and clumped together on the bottom of the cup. The jelly was extra filler that added more texture. The price was at least two dollars less than what I would have paid for a similar product at one of my local haunts. I gave a 3.5 star rating for my experience at CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice.

    Cute winter cups! Loved the boba rolling another boba down the snowy hill hahah…read more Came right at opening at 12pm. The employee was friendly! Love my order of milk tea with boba. The large doesn't quite feel so large :0p But everything always tastes so great from the milk tea flavor to the boba texture and taste!! Nothing beats CoCo's!! They also gave free cute boba stickers, one per a customer :0)

    The owner of Bobalee reached out to me after my previous review and told me that the shop actually…read morebrews their Thai Tea from scratch instead of making it from powder. That intrigued me enough to revisit and try the drink out this past week. Thai Milk Tea, Small w/ Boba ($6.40) - As I was ordering, I was told that the sweetness couldn't be adjusted since the the tea was premade and mixed with sweetener. It's a little unfortunate, but it is what it is. On the first sip, the tea first starts with a somewhat dairy forward flavor, but immediately follows that up with an extremely roasted, smoky and somewhat astringent flavor of a very strongly brewed tea. About half a second later, an extreme sweetness floods the mouth but helps to balance out some of the smoky astringency. I'm not sure how they get it to be so smoky - I regularly brew Thai tea in an espresso machine and I've never gotten it to be so strong before. It's also much smokier than any Thai tea I've had in restaurants. The sweetness is a bit too much for me. After sipping a bit, I decided to save the rest for later and add some fresh brewed Thai tea to temper the sweetness down a bit. The boba this visit is a big improvement over my previous visit. This time, it's not rock hard; instead, the boba has a decent chew on the exterior while retaining quite a bit more firmness in the center. I found the boba to be a bit on the lumpier side and a little inconsistent in shape but it's not bad. Drink Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 3/5 I also asked for a small sample of the black tea. This is also pre-sweetened, probably on the order of 25% or 50% vs. a fully sweetened drink as compared to other boba shops. For my tastes, it actually right on the dot: not too sweet, which allows some of the natural tea fragrance to really be at the forefront of the drink without being drowned out. I honestly would get this tea as a milk tea without any additional sweetener added. Bobalee is a first mover into Ypsilanti. It's a very well run business, with friendly staff and great ambiance. As I mentioned in my previous review, this is a business that's worth supporting. Bathrooms - Single unisex room in the back.

The space is small and visually busy with lots of decor but they do offer a seating area. This boba place is located right as you enter through the restaurant side.

I decided to stop by again to give it a second chance since I was in the mall. Original Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sweet w/ Boba ($6.70) - Sweeting normally uses whole milk in their milk tea drinks, so it leaves a distinct dairy flavor vs. a more traditional creamer or milk powder construction. The black tea taste does come through, with a slight bitter astringency. The boba had a sticky and chewy exterior with a nice qq interior very reminiscent of a honey soaked boba. While it was on the slightly hard side throughout, the boba was greatly improved by whatever sugar syrup they use as a soak (I'm not certain it's honey but it certainly feels like it). Overall the drink was pretty good for a place that mostly prebrews their tea and is much improved over my previous trip. Sweeting has definitely made a good recovery from the Pandemic blues, and I would be glad to come back in the future.
