    The place was pretty empty when I came in - it was combined with a poke spot so that was also an option if you come inside. The space felt pretty clean and it was quiet if you ever want to grab a drink and just sit to do work. The drink was made pretty quickly and they had a good mix of variety - I got a milk tea and it didn't disappoint. Solid price, good quality bubbles, and overall just a good drink. I wouldn't mind coming back if I'm ever in the area for bubble tea again - thanks, Loose Leaf!

    After venturing to Connecticut and eating at 3 places, we were quite thirsty for some non-chain, quality drinks. This place has it all- unique drinks all crafted using real tea, real milk, & real ingredients by real ppl as stated on their website. We got the Thai milk tea and Hong Kong milk tea. The service was a little slow while the place was empty- staff were friendly. They share the space with Pokemoto, which is a great combo of poke bowls & bubble tea, so if you're hungry, you can kill thirst and hunger in 1 location. The drinks tasted authentic, (super) sweet with a strong tea taste, and reminded us that you can find good drinks in any state you are in. I do wish they offered a smaller size- like a 16 oz option other than just 24 oz. If you're around this area or in New Haven (3 locations), give them a try!

    I love Loose Leaf Boba Co. in Wallingford. I get my boba fix every week here since they opened. They conveniently share the space with Pokemoto too if you are looking for a bit to eat, but let's talk tea! They have fresh pressed tea, milk tea, matcha, Vietnamese coffee, and an Inspired Menu. Each drink on the Inspired Menu is unique with fun, delicious flavors. They allow you to personalize your drink with your choice of milk and sweetness level. You can add toppings to your drink like honey boba, red bean, grass jelly, cheese foam and more for an additional charge. Their honey boba is the best. The boba is warm, sweet and the perfect chewy texture. The staff is very helpful with pairing teas with toppings. I wanted to be adventurous and try the cheese foam--they suggested to try it on the Hong Kong Milk Tea. The cheese foam tasted so good, cream cheese flavor with a touch of salt to make a great sweet and savory combo. I have almost tried every Loose Leaf Co.'s drink on the menu. Here are a few of my favorites: Black Sesame Ginger, Matchacado, Golden Matcha Milk, Purple Roots and Original Fifty50. I personally like my drinks at quarter sweet level. This is a place for all tea and boba lovers. I enjoy bringing my friends and family to experience their first boba drink here. They always want to come back for more!

    10/10 for the boba here! I had gotten their Thai milk tea at previous Yelp event and found myself in the area today after a rough day at work and knew a nice tall boba would instantly cheer me up and it definitely did! The location here is easy to get to off the Merritt. There is plenty of parking and the spot itself is shared with a poke spot. There are so many unique tea flavors here and what makes this boba spot different is they don't use that artificial tasting powdered tea you get at a typical boba cafe. They make the tea fresh to order and while it may take a bit longer for this, it is absolutely worth it! The boba is fresh and chewy. I got the Hong Kong milk tea with quarter sweetness and it was perfect! Will try the Pandan flavor next time as I've never seen this at any other cafe before. Service was great!

    So I've had Boba Tea numerous times. I like it. I "get it" on a certain level. You pick one of a few flavors. It's usually creamy and tastes vaguely like the flavor you select. I don't know the ingredients and I couldn't make it without researching it. Sort of sweet gummy/chewy balls get sucked up in an oversized circumference straw and I chew on them after I swallow the tea. You may get the idea that I don't really get Boba Tea and the people that rave about it. That's fair. But I get Loose Leaf Boba. They tell you exactly what tea they have and what your various options are. Those options include a type of iced tea that I sometimes order or brew at home - a fruit based brewed leaf tea that Loose Leaf made to my requested level of sweetness. The options also include fruit purées and jellies. And of course Boba, which you don't even have to order. Perhaps most importantly, Loose Leaf Boba drinks don't just taste great. They come in attractive clear cups, that act as great display cases for highly customizable, colorful as you want, Instagram closeup worthy, works of art. I saw the gorgeous pictures and almost immediately thought - I want to create one of those. And I did create one. I'm sure somebody somewhere did this first, but I haven't seen pictures of it. I wanted my drink to mostly consist of Loose Leaf's Fantasy Berry Tea, which is an attractive reddish purple type color. I also wanted a layer of white and a layer of yellow. I looked at other pictures of creations from their OG Long Beach, CA Yelp page and I theorized that I could accomplish my goal with lychee jelly and Mango puree. I visited the newish Wallingford Loose Leaf location (which shares space with a Pokemoto) today to see if they could make this to my specifications. I was a little unsure of whether it would work from a liquid dynamics perspective, but the staff went to work without complaint, and made the exact drink I pictured in my mind. It tasted great too. The tea was just what I wanted - slightly sweet and acidic, and not creamy. And the mango layers and lychee layers, allowed me to throw myself sweet fruit curveballs when I wanted a different sip. I easily get why people love Loose Leaf Boba. It's drinkable art! And the Loose Leaf Boba staff members were supportive and helped me do something I can't do on my own. Five Stars. Start designing yours.

    Location is in between the Panera and Chipotle! GPS took me to behind Lowe's. Dropped in for the Yelp elite week and ordered myself two drink because the menu had so many different options from fruit shakes, teas, coffees, and matcha. Tried the Purple Root and it was smooth and delicious. Most taro root boba are made from powder but this smoothy is very fresh! Also ordered the Somatcha Coffee and this is now my favorite combo and can't wait to have it again! The staff was super friendly and had the pleasure of meeting the owner who explained the menu and gave some great suggestions. Looking forward to dropping again soon!

    I can always count on this location of Loose Leaf to be a quick and successful boba run! While I love the New Haven locations, I greatly appreciate the ease of parking at this one to get my boba fix. Loose Leaf has unique flavors of boba that are freshly brewed tea leaves. No powder to be found (which is always something I check for with places). My favorite here is the matcha strawberry. Their fresh strawberry compote is perfectly sweet and pairs so well with the matcha. I like adding their honey boba or grass jelly as the topping. There are seasonal specials that are unique to this location such as the pandan black sugar bubble tea. The Hong Kong Milk tea at 25% sweetness also brings out the tea flavors and is delicious with the honey boba. Definitely an opportunity to give all the flavors a try is worthwhile!

    Pandan Pina Collision

    Good place for drinks! Lots of unique flavors and good quality! There is a nice big parking lot and is in the same store are pokemoto if you want both! I ordered the Pandan Pina Collison which was refreshing yet creamy at the same time!

    I've been here 3 times now and ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte with half the sweetness the first and second visit. Although I enjoy the latte, I wanted to try something different for my third visit. After spotting "pandan" underneath "Black Sugar Latte" on a small sign near the register, I knew I had to have it. I ordered it with oat milk, honey boba, and added matcha with half the sweetness. The drink overall was really good - I loved the caramelized pandan flavor, the chewiness of the boba, and the matcha blended perfectly. I do think that the drink was still on the sweeter side despite getting it halved, which was also the case for the Strawberry Matcha Latte. For my future visits I'll try my lattes with 1/4 the sweetness and look forward to tasting new flavors.

    So I've been to the location in New Haven but this is the first time coming to this one. I tried a new drink I haven't gotten before, the Pandan Coconut drink. It normally comes with pineapple purée but I asked for without because I wanted more coconut. Soo delicious!!! Not many places offer pandan flavoring and I'm glad I was able to have it here. Their drinks are also very pretty in colors! You get a percent off if you order from Pokemoto first. ;)

    Very delicious bubble tea.

    Very delicious bubble tea.I added strawberries and matcha, which is delicious and delicious.

    This was the first time I've ever tried boba and it did not disappoint. I had to sort of navigate the menu myself trying to figure out what kind of milk I wanted or the sweetness I was looking for but in the end, it was a delicious, beautiful creation that I would definitely go back for!

    Strawberry Matcha with coconut & grass jelly

    Well I finally made a stop here since Anne C has been posting a bunch of pictures about this place and how she likes it. The shop is nestled in a small strip mall and it shares a space with pokeworks. So if your planning a trip down here you can hit two stops in one. No Pokeworks for me today just the Tea. I went with a Small Strawberry Matcha and Level 2 for Sweetness. I should have asked if the strawberries were really sweet before I said level 2 because I think I could have been fine with zero added sugar. I also added lychee and grass jelly. It was very refreshing and I was happy with my choice I just don't know if it's worth the drive for repeat visits. If I was in the the area I would definitely go again though.

This was my second experience recently at a Hot Pot, but it felt incredibly different. This was somewhere that feels more intimate and private, it's honestly a quiet place. Your server will hand you a paper to mark down the broths, meats, veggies, appetizers and main dishes to order. You have the option to choose "All You Can Eat" for $31.99 or choose individually. Note *If someone orders the "All You Can Eat," everyone at the table has to as well. Please do be mindful that this is a 2 hr limit (to order) if you decide to choose this. I ordered the Beef Brisket Radish, and it was incredibly delicious. My friend had ordered the Oxtail w. Wolfberry, and that one was tasty too! Between meats, we had ordered sliced beef, swai fish, & shrimp balls. Now with veggies, the enoki, fresh corn, bok choy, n bean sprouts were great. Finally, for main dishes I had ordered some vermicelli, rice, an egg, and rice cake. Anytime you are interested in something additional, you can press the call button to the side. You can walk to the back to get sauces (mix to make your own concoction) to dip your meats or veggies in. I'd recommend to add a bit of sugar to your sauce. The whole experience was great, our waitress was incredibly kind and gave me some pointers to the stove. It functions through a button feature on a remote to the side of the stove. I would most definitely come to eat again sometime in the future!

    Best Thai food in Wallingford hands down…read more The pad Thai is the best I've had. It's hard not to order it every time. But everything on the menu is delicious so ya gotta branch out. The location in in between two pizza places on the North Haven side of Rt 5 in Wallingford. It's our go-to take out place. Recently we dined in and it was even better. Their tom kha is so flavorful. The green curry beef noodle dish was huge and delicious with the right amount of spice. Unassuming simplicity inside with more take-away orders than diners, it seemed. But dining area was nice. I've dined here years ago and it was different. I imagine they changed owners or renovated in some way, because it's extra good.

    I've been to this restaurant a few times and will say cashier is always super friendly. I remember…read moremy call dropped once while placing an order the they called me right back! Food- spring rolls are always good. However, I will say my go to is generally the pad Thai. Sometimes it is spot on and other times it almost tastes like there are different cooks, and it where it tastes like it came from a wok that is too hot/singed flavor and the right flavors just aren't there. I did notice they changed to more biodegrading to go products which is nice though! My family member got the Massaman Currt and reported it was not as good as usual, this time around it was very soupy with minimal spice. I've never eaten inside but this looks like a small hole in the wall spot from the outside , it is very quaint. Overall, return out of convenience when visiting the area from time to time but wish there were more consistency with when those dishes have been closer to their best!
