A new shop that specializes in Boba teas & Coffee and is located in the heart of Kirkwood mall. For a sunday afternoon, the line stretched from the shop across the Cell core store entrance, and down to the entrance of Francescas. That alone tells you how long the Bismarck-Mandan are has been waiting for a shop like this. With the option of boba milk tea or smoothie, and adding a flavor of your choice (Taro, Mango, Strawberry, Matcha, Chocolate, Honeydew, Vanilla, Almond, Lavender, Coffee, or Red Bean) and finally choosing a topping of your choice. 3 steps to creating your own Flavorlicious drink.
Drinks aren't the only think that Mama Bear has to offer, but a variety of snacks and treats. Doughnuts, cheesecakes, Macarons, various flavors of ice creams, and their apparent specialty....the Bubble waffle. You have the option of ordering your drink/food, and jumping back into your Mall adventures, or sitting down in the quiet seating area to enjoy what you have been missing for a long time. The vibes are very hip, quaint and quiet...and seemingly attractive to the younger crowd (with their [older] parents in tow).
We ordered a Strawberry fruit smoothie, Strawberry boba tea with mango pearls atop, and a Taro Boba tea. This is what we have been waiting for...or at least I have. The last decent place (outside of Seattle) to serve up some Boba teas were T &Crepe of Fargo, ND.
If you're in the are...and dislike the chaotic mall-life, i am sorry, because you must tolerate the monstrous chaos of the Kirkwood mall in order to reach that boba-life. Here's to Bismarck in her arrival into the new era of food eateries and shops, by way of Kirkwood Mall....Cheers
