There's also limited standing room so you may wish to not go with a large group when going in to order. I got the peach tea with mango crystal Boba. I wasn't sure what to expect with the crystal Boba. The best way to describe it is a much softer version of a gummy bear. I did like how you can choose your level of sweetness. I chose the lowest which was 30% sweetness. They were little tiny flowers in the tea, which may have been part of the peach tea, but it did throw me a bit. It was a nice refreshing drink, though definitely not my favorite place for Boba. The staff were friendly and helpful. And it was a pretty good value value.

I was also a little disappointed by their fruit cakes (expected more cake) but for this being the ONLY bakery that I've seen selling pastries like this, I can't complain! Their bubble tea is generally better than other places I've tried in Cincy but I miss my Dubai food scene and wish there were more options here

I like Drop In Tea. It is in such a convenient location around UC, so those around campus (which…read moreare probably a great target market for this type of tea) can stop by for some affordable treats. There are many options for the drinks (milk-based tea or fruit base, etc)..and, if you want, you can customize it however you like your drinks (ice, sweetness, topping, etc), too. I had a large brown sugar milk tea and thought it tasted good. I don't like my tea too sweet, and I found 30% sugar perfect (not too plain and not too sweet either). The boba that came with it was still bouncy and had the right chewy (and not soggy) consistency. The tea itself was probably around $7. But for the whole grand scheme of how fast prices are rising these days due to inflation, I thought the prices were still more stomach-able (is that even a word?) among students /crowds looking for quick snacks/something light. The only things that may be less optimal were: 1) small store size (there weren't many seats inside the store; so chances are you are going to take it to go) and 2) they didn't seem to have hot options (you can sure ask them..but I'm not sure how that will taste)..so this shop may not be a great idea when it's super cold outside/in the winter.

The service was good , the worker was nice enough and she made the drinks as well as working as a cashier so you got to appreciate that. I like how their menu has options like create your own tea with tons of different syrup and popping bubble options - it's also not too expensive. Their menu is not for the milk tea lover tho or the authentic bubble tea lover but if you love the fruit tea then this place is a gem! I got the earl grey black tea with pineapple and dragon fruit syrup and passion fruit popping bubbles - it was delicious not overly sweet and I liked how I could taste the notes of the black tea. I will be back and they have monthly rotating drinks.

I waited at a small cafe table on the sidewalk, and minutes later left with my tea. It was fabulous! Street parking. Service was efficient. Order at window (no indoor customer space). There are 1 or 2 other businesses nearby but most likely you'd be grabbing your tea and carrying on with your day. The Hurry Curry window 2 doors down looks intriguing though....another day!

Well the crystal ones all tasted like they'd been soaking in fruit juice, so not really what I wanted in milk tea. It actually curdled the milk after a while to have it in there and it messed with the flavor of the milk tea in a way I wasn't prepared for. I half wonder if the milk they used was actually just bad... also I ordered a fruit dessert and I only took one bite and spat it out because it tasted rancid? Like weirdly sour spoiled milk taste. I didn't finish anything after that. Hopefully this was a fluke but it was really bad

There aren't a lot of boba places east of Cincinnati. Or at least in Batavia (zero actually). So…read moreluckily I found Boba house within the mint bistro restaurant. We came here after dinner and I just wanted matcha milk tea with boba and I have to say that their boba quality is the best boba quality so far I've had here in Cincinnati. It had such a good texture, a good chew, and it was actually flavorful. The milk tea itself was good but I think it was most likely a pre-powdered mix like I've seen at other places. I'm used to the from scratch type in Southern California. Anywho I'm very happy that this is a 10 minute drive for me versus a 30 minute drive so I'll be coming back here again for the Boba.

I was sad I already had grabbed dinner because Mint Bistro looked and smelled amazing. The fact that I could also have high quality boba with my meal is always a plus. They were busy but they still let me order boba from the host desk, and had it ready super fast for me. The cups are so cute too! rounded bottoms make them more aesthetically pleasing than your average boba cup. Both the tea and boba were clearly of great quality and I can't wait to go back and actually try the food. I'll add a recipe for the bistro when i do!

I had a couple children with me who were eager to sample multiple flavors, and the gentleman helping us was extremely patient with the kids. One of my kids opted to try Rose Petal, and the other the Italian Stallion flavor, which I thought was impressive given they would typically just choose chocolate or vanilla! All of the flavors looked so delicious and we were compelled to try the unique ones. A small cup of gelato is a pretty generous portion and it is so rich that it fills you up. Which is good, because I think the small comes out about a seven dollar price point, which is pretty pricey for my budget. This location is right inside one of the main outdoor seating areas, so there's plenty of spots to sit on a nice day. There are 3 to 4 seats at the bar directly by the register. I tried gooey butter cake, which was delicious as you would expect! The gelato was cream cheese based with fresh chunks of cake. Delicious, I'll be back!
