Brown sugar milkshake with tapioca pearls
Ivana F.

This little spot is a hidden gem tucked away in the corner of the plaza. A Boba go to for sure! Inside has a cute wall set up for some nice pics too! Today I ordered a large brown sugar milkshake with tapioca pearls! The tapioca pearls were made fresh and were warm and chewy! The mixture was a perfect blend! This establishment is family owned and are as sweet as the boba! They also make homemade dumplings that are delish! A great place to try something different for sure! Will definitely be back to get another delicious concoction!

Thai bubble tea
Sho R.

This is a small tea shop. I liked the bubble tea the most. I went for the thai and earl grey ones with the normal tapioca bubbles. Both were good. Steamed red bean bun was ok. I think it is just a single person cooking here. Availability of items varies.

The bubble tea is amazing, the calming sense once you walk on the door with the cute decor on the wall, and music playing takes your worries away. When you order your food, it comes in a fo container and the lady draws a cute little picture on it, saying thank you. Yes there is a wait sometimes, but let's be honest, the best things are worth the wait. It's truly our happy place. (mine and my teenagers)

Because of the outside view I would have never stopped here. What a mistake that would have been!!! Their boba is fantastic!! I will be back!!

Ginger honey tea with lychee
DEBORAH T.

Thanks to the 95 degree weather my friend and I wanted a cool drink. He suggested I try a Bubble tea. So we came here and cake up with the combination of ginger honey bubble fruit tea with lychee. It was absolutely amazing. They young lady at the register was very helpful in explained the choices. I am totally telling folks about the place and coming back next week. Thanks for the refreshing tea and great service!

First bubble tea shop that I've spotted in Plainville. Located next to the Dairy Queen, you'll be scratching your head wondering what you should get on a hot summer day. Bubble tea is always a nice choice; easy for a quick grab and go drink. Walking in, it looked like it was a deli that was converted to a bubble tea shop. There were simple designs and sayings for the shop lightening up the mood. Along the wall lined with tables to sit; there are strings of flowers that decorate the white wall. They aim to help you out if you are a first time bubble tea drinker, offering a guide to ordering. You'll pick your flavors, sugar/ice level and any additions to your drink. I ordered a Large Iced Taro Bubble Tea with grass jelly and bubbles, while my sister ordered a Large Iced Matcha Bubble Tea with bubbles. Both with 75% sugar. Watching as the drinks were made, you will see the drinks will be made with powder; while isn't bad, could have you wanting more. My sister remarked that the tapioca bubbles weren't that good, didn't have a flavor and were a little hard. She regrets getting them and not getting the heart shaped jellies. I had to agree with her but the grass jelly was good enough for me. It looks like it's still getting itself established and will be adding more items like dumplings and other stuff. I think the location works for the items she is selling just have to improve the recipe a little.

Mango milk tea with mango pearls and a regular milk tea with boba
Sandra P.

The lady behind the counter was so sweet. We got two bubble teas and they were very good. We also wanted dumplings but they didn't have all flavors just beef and vegetable. I'm assuming it was because we walked in at the end of their day. Still I will be coming back!

Taro-coconut milk tea with grass jelly
tania p.

I love this place! The prices are very reasonable and the tea selection is huge! I got the taro-coconut milk tea with grass jelly (50% sweetness) and it was so delicious. I'm so excited to go back again and try more flavors. The owner is very friendly and was helpful in making suggestions.

Tropical Fruit Smoothies
Haven M.

Mei Tea is honestly the best Tea place i've ever been too. The service is so kind and the tea is amazing!! my boyfriend and I go as much as we can and its so delicious in the summer, I definitely recommend the Tropical Fruit Smoothie with mango pearls, and the Thai Tea, they are so authentic and so delicious. Love this place!!

Thai milk tea with tapioca

They have bursting boba! Loved their thai tea, mango tea with strawberry poppers Can't wait to go back to try their dumplings

Viv R.

Super close to home, this little place is packed with awesomeness! The plentiful, colorful signs tell you how to order, what options you have and suggest popular flavor combinations! It's the first Boba place I've ever been to in CT and I love it! I got the Chocolate Milk Tapioca Boba and my husband got the Honey Vanilla Tapioca Boba. Both were delicious! Next time we'll try the Vanilla Honey with Strawberry Heart Boba! I'm also looking forward to the bursting Boba flavors, yum! And don't forget to take your potato for a walk ;) (see image below)

A popular place (for good reason) so be prepared to potentially wait a while for the tea. So worth it though! Everything was delicious!

Their bubble tea is just sugar water with boba. I asked for no sweetener and I still thought it was overly sweet.

I love this place. I stop here every day while I'm in town. Most boba places go cheap and use only tapioca but this place has it all.

Had a chance to try this cool place out with an assist from Yelp :) my daughter and I came by…read moreyesterday for a delicious free smoothie. She tried the Heartbeet, which had strawberries, beets, apple, pineapple and mango. And yes it was as delicious as it sounds. I had to try a fresh pressed juice while I was there-I had the healer and it was wonderful-and then noticed they offer a juice cleanse for $150 for 3 days which I think is so cool and local. I will definitely be back to try it.

This unfortunately is one of my worst experiences that I've had in quite a while because of poor…read morecustomer service and and more. The visits started out pretty good as we were a group of 12 coming into their establishment to start their day and we were their first clients. To walk in we expressed that we understood that only one person was working and that the timing may be a little bit slower due to the fact that she was the only one there. We put our orders in and slowly started seeing other clients of theirs come in the door and place orders. We could tell that some may have been online but let's remember that we walked in as they were opening. We waited an hour and 35 minutes to get paninis and smoothies and started noticing the people that had come in behind us and online orders were getting their food before us. We went to the front counter to ask, "Why are people getting their orders before us?" and we expressed that it was because they placed their orders online and that online orders had their own process. We were unable to accept this as we were their first clients of the day. We waited an hour and a half and people behind us and all non-orders were receiving their food before us. This was not just about the customer service and speed at which we received our order. We ordered a banana and peanut butter panini and two apple and cheese paninis, of which the bread was dry. There were barely any ingredients on the sandwich and it just did not taste good at all. This may be my first time saying I do not recommend a restaurant but this time I must say it. I can say the establishment was clean. It's an open kitchen where you can see the restaurant. They had games for kids to play and the ingredients seem to be fresh. I just spoke with the owner and got a better understanding of what happened. While I won't adjust what was said I will say the due to the fresh ingredients, situational challenges and promptness of reply of the owner, I will adjust my review as to not hurt this local small business. The owner was courteous, understanding and apologetic. She gave a detailed answer as to what happened and how they plan to improve.
