Taro blast was delicious, a nice taro flavor with crystal boba that was soft with a nice cream cheese cap, would recommend! They have a lot of fun options and changing seasonal ones too. It was $8 for a large specialty drink which is pretty on par with other places, plus it's one of the only boba spots in the area so worth stopping by!

Craved boba in Pittsburgh and found this gem!…read more Tried their signature drinks: - Brown Sugar Milk Black Tea with Bubbles: Good, but not wow (4/5). Ordered 100% sugar, but still found it slightly less sweet than expected. Had better-tasting ones elsewhere. - Brown Sugar Milk Black Tea with Oreo, Milk Foam, and Bubbles: Sweetness just right for my kid - 5/5! Also, devoured two amazing macarons: - Blueberry Lavender - Rose Hands down, BEST MACARONS EVER! Unique, distinct flavors - a must-try! Note: Service was a bit slow due to the crowd (even on a weekday evening!), but it's clear this spot is popular! Ambiance was cute, but surprisingly, there were no chairs inside - unsure if dine-in is even an option. We opted for takeout, which worked out fine. Worth the wait!

The brown sugar milk tea had a foamy texture that was really nice, definitely recommend getting 50% or less sugar which balanced the pearl out perfectly. Their seasonal Watermelon Coconut Sago though was a stand out, so incredibly refreshing with chunks of fresh watermelon, crystal pearl, and the creamy coconut milk, best summer drink I've had! The only negative is that the stand was very understaffed, with only one poor worker running around with many in store and online orders, making the wait really long. I hope they hire more people soon because I can't wait to come try their other drinks soon!

The app showed that my order was ready, so I went to the counter to pick it up. My order number was 21, but I heard staff calling numbers 23 and 24. I didn't see my order on the counter, so I wasn't sure whether it was ready or had been missed. I approached the counter, showed the employee my app, and he responded, "Oh, give us a minute," while waving his hand as if I were bothering him. I felt confused, and then he added, "Have a seat," before walking away. The employees were not wearing name tags, so I couldn't identify him (see attached picture) This is a great drink chain, so this level of service is not acceptable. I hope staffs can show more respect and professionalism when interacting with customers, especially these kids. Thank you.

It's a cute little place, and maybe I just didn't order the right thing once again, but it left a lot to be desired. The entire drink had some sort of soap-like taste to it. I subbed for oat milk, and that was all I tasted. There was no other flavor or sweetness to the drink. There also wasn't chocolate chips, it was cookie crumbles and it was some sort of offbrand Oreo, which I think was where the foul taste was coming from. Boba was cooked perfectly, but also didn't taste the greatest or like the brown sugar I'm used to. I usually never try a place only once! But this order did not thrill me.

I ordered the build-your-own bowl, which came out to around $13. For the base, I did half sushi rice and half organic spring mix. I added two scoops of protein: tofu and chicken. For mix-ins, I chose cucumber, carrots, and wakame seaweed, then topped it with ponzu sauce, pineapple, edamame, and shredded nori for crunch. Overall, the bowl was definitely filling and felt like a good value for lunch. I did expect the chicken to be warm, but it was served cold, and the tofu was uncooked, so the proteins were a little disappointing and bland on their own. Mixing everything together helped a lot, especially to distribute the sweet and tangy sauce throughout the bowl. I would return, but I'd probably make some adjustments to my bowl choices next time.
