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)

Horrible service. Don't bother with dumplings or pierogies. Bubble tea is great though. The only reason to go.

In short: Good service, calm atmosphere, delicious and fresh Korean corn dogs…read more As my girlfriend and I were looking for a snack, we came across The Mochi Donut Cafe. We arrived to an empty parking lot and were greeted by calm and atmospheric music. Our attendant/cashier was peaceful and patient as we looked through the menu and took our time. Our order was taken care of and served within 15 minutes, the food had been ready. We enjoyed our meal. Their Korean Corn dogs were fresh, flavorful and delicious. The Hazelnut Latte we ordered was balanced and also delicious. The tables were clean and the overall vibe of the place was aesthetically pleasing. Good spot to check out if you're craving a snack, need a place to study as they offer free WiFi, or are looking for something different. Thx.

Good donuts, needs tlc…read more I've been to this place before, and I appreciated the location despite it being an event. So being in the area, decided to come here and pick up some donuts for the ride home. We got here late in the day, and they were out of almost everything when I got there. I managed to get a churro and matcha donut. I then saw they did a Dubai chocolate strawberry cup, and had to give that a try as well ( they only do the cup on the weekends) The donuts were very fresh, light and chewy. They are high in price but much better in quality compared to other places I've tried. The Dubai strawberry cup had a kind of weak chocolate sauce over them. Not the cheapest stuff on the market, but not strong or mellow like the expensive chocolates. The strawberries were fresh, and the Dubai part needed a little salt to counteract the sweet and enhance the earthy. Inside is well decorated but dirty. All the tables were dirty, there's lots of dust and other ditritus when I was waiting for my dessert. It was end of day, so I get why they would not be fully clean. But there's some repairs that need to get done and there's cracks in the facade. Despite the lack of donuts, the quality was good and the Dubai strawberries were a nice sweet treat. This is a good place to get some interesting food items or sweet treats. Not a trek worthy spot, but good if you're around

When you walk in, it's really a nice break from reality with all of the whimsical, antique, speakeasy feel. You can sip on tea and coffee and walk around the shop. Nice size biscotti went well with their tea. I had the blueberry muffin also. My friend and I had two cups of tea that were great! Staff is super nice and we could have spent more than 2 hrs in there just relaxing and catching up. I look forward to going back there. It's a nice intimate space to sit alone or a couple of friends.

Tea shop during the day and an underground speakeasy by night…read more A group of friends and I came here for the first time and we were very impressed with a short wait time, and the very cool ambience and set up of the different areas to sit at Our server told us they specialized in mythological crafted cocktails, which came with an added ritual. I got Aset, the Egyptian goddess of healing, magic, funereal rites, and motherhood. ASET (EGYPTIAN) color-changing twist on a corpse reviver butterfly pea flower infused prairie gin, luxardo triple sec, elderflower liqueur, lemon, glitter MICTLANTECUTLI (AZTEC) blood orange margarita, rocks blood orange tequila, blood orange liqueur, lime, orange bitters, smoked salt We also Mediterranean: Hummus, Olives Herb, Chips Everything was very good and I would definitely come back during the day to check out their tea shop

Yelp is asking me to answer the question - What went well ?…read more Is this place a secret gem? I'm not sure but we are so happy we found this place. I feel the need to leave this review here now just in case I forget to leave a actual proper long review. This is our third time, a humble looking joint so we come here always just expecting it's going to be " meh". But we keep coming back, collecting calories around our waist because everything is so good here! Service - always awesome. Everyone here looks like they work cohesively, everyone is smiling working hard . Coffees always refilled. Food- fantastic, always fresh, on point. This time I got an omelette with tomatoes and this is the first time I had an omelet where the tomatoes don't get mushy. Their hash browns are also amazing! ... while we like the shredded we LOVE the fried- like mini French fries. While all of their proteins are awesome - their turkey bacon deserves a special shout out because it often misses the mark at most places.. but not here . And then there are the little things - clean bathrooms, condiments on the table are clean and not sticky or gross !! Anyway, come here.

We had a group of 6 so had a 20 minute wait, not sure if they take reservations. If we had a smaller group I think we would have been sat quicker. Sunday mornings they only serve breakfast. Lots of great choices on the menu. Everyone enjoyed what they'd gotten. Prices were somewhat inexpensive and they had some interesting options I'd like to have in the future. Absolutely will come back.

Stopped in quick to get a coffee but really wish I would've had time to chill…read more Large expansive place attached to a pizza place. It smelled amazing in there. I got a blueberry crumble latte. That was so tasty. The crumble on top was perfect. It was totally empty so I got my drink immediately. I was impressed by the facilities. A chopped up keg you can piss in!!? Now that's cool.

I loved Froth the first time I visited. Great experience. Very friendly and a very tasty latte…read more Strong 4/5 stars. However, I feel after my second visit, it deserves the full 5. Absolutely. Same super lovely baristas who were extremely helpful and gave clear descriptions of their monthly specials. The "Fall in Love" was a no brainer after she told what it was specifically. It was a brown sugar/white chocolate latte, with chai (so basically a dirty chai latte), and I forgot what she said it was specifically, but a spiced cold foam. It was incredible. Deep well rounded flavors without going too far with the spices. They had to use high quality spices to achieve that taste. So comforting without being overly sweet or heavy. I brought my mom and she raved about their tiramisu latte. She thought it was the best version she's had. I don't know that I would go quite that far (having tasted it), simply because I've had many, but it was an excellent one. I hate when places use a catchy title just because of some ingredients that they used. This actually did mirror tiramisu which I'm extremely particular of, so MAJOR points for that. The whole experience really brightened our morning. Can't wait to make it a more regular stop!
