I tried several different drinks, including the Brown Sugar Milk Tea, Mango Passion Boba Tea, Brown Sugar Oat Milk Matcha, and Crème Brûlée. The Crème Brûlée was definitely my favorite! I also love that you can customize your drink and choose your preferred sweetness level. They also have sweet treats that pair perfectly with the drinks. It's a cute spot to grab a quick drink, meet up with friends, or pick something up to-go. Great service too with super nice staff If you're in the Northland and love boba, milk tea, matcha, or just trying new drinks, definitely give Yum Tea a try!

The employees were very helpful in describing what some of the different bobas were and also asked for sweetness level in our teas. This is huge as I would prefer my tea unsweet and my children like a semi sweet. It was nice to be able to customize that. We enjoyed green tea with brown sugar boba and mango tea with mango boba. Overall a great place we will return to!

Bo Lings is one of those places that became one of my top favorites after one little bite. Their…read morecashew chicken is genuinely one of the best I've ever had. Everything tastes super fresh, the flavors are unique compared to a lot of other Chinese spots around town, and somehow it is always consistent every single visit and that helps it also feel like comfort food. The staff has always been super kind to me, and even when they're busy the food still comes out delicious and hot. It's definitely on the pricier side, but honestly this is one of those places where you can taste what you're paying for. A couple things to know before going: the building can get a little warm during hotter months, and parking is kind of chaotic. There are only a couple of pickup spots up by the doors, otherwise you're usually parking along Zona street parking or trekking over from near Dick's. Still absolutely worth the little walk once the food hits the table.

We typically order takeout from the Zona Rosa location, but last night we decided to dine in for the first time in many years. We arrived around 6:00 p.m. on a Friday, and the restaurant was only about a quarter full, so seating was quick and easy. We ordered several of our favorite starters, including wonton soup, crab rangoon, lettuce wraps, and spring rolls. Everything arrived at the same time, which made for a great spread to enjoy together. A few things stood out about the experience. While we were greeted promptly, it took about 10 to 15 minutes to receive our cocktails, and they were delivered by someone other than our server. The same thing happened with our second round. Given that the restaurant was not busy, the delay felt unusual. Our server had an impressive ability to remember orders without writing anything down. She got all of the starters correct, but unfortunately forgot to place our entrée. Our General Tso's chicken was not submitted until we were nearly finished with the starters, which led to a longer wait than expected before it arrived. As we were leaving, several staff members thanked us for dining with them, which was appreciated. It did feel a bit odd, however, as they were eating their own meal at the same time. Overall, the food remains very good, but the service issues made the experience less enjoyable. Next time, we will likely stick with takeout or delivery.

They also had a couple cute vending machines and a claw machine. They didn't have my typical order of lychee such but I got a mango passion fruit slush with boba. It was a bit too sweet but it tastes pretty good. They didn't ask what sweetness I wanted but maybe that's because it was a fruit drink? The boba itself was decent. Not the best. Not the worst!

This is an amazing ice cream place. If I didn't like it so much, I would dock them a star because…read moreit does not seem like they hire enough workers for a busy weekend day. Poor staff member was all alone in the back taking orders from big parties, call-in orders, and app orders. He was working non-stop and I don't think that is a great thing about this place, since from the looks of it they can afford to hire more workers given the steady stream of customers (sometimes not so steady and sometimes just heavy). But the ice cream is freshly made and everything tastes as it should -- strawberry ice cream tastes like fresh strawberries, flavors are super creative, and the sundaes have a mix of the flavors with special toppings like nuts and cream. The place also has little games to keep the kids busy and just a nice variety of ice cream, boba, shakes, and drinks. Overall, we can see why our family highly recommended this place to us and why it's a staple in the area. The ice cream is amazing!

Then as we were putting our coats on and cleaning up our table to leave, he turned the lights off on us and left us in the dark, even though there were still employees there behind the counter working. When we said, 'We're putting our coats on, you don't have to turn the lights off on us, that's really uncalled for,' he responded curtly with, 'I already told you to leave,' followed by a cold look. He treated us in about the most unfriendly, unprofessional, harsh way you could treat polite customers who frequent here. There is a right way and a wrong way to go about letting customers know the establishment is closed and they would like you to leave. Especially after we spent $18 on 3 drinks (one was a small toddler drink). This was the very wrong, rude, unprofessional way to go about it. He was very cold and short in the manner he spoke to us and treated us, even in looks he was giving us. It was like he was taking his bad day out on us or something. If you're going to work in customer service, especially at a manager level, this is completely unacceptable, inappropriate, unprofessional behavior and a very rude way to treat loyal customers. We will never come back here because of his behavior, and we'll find another place to meet and have coffee with our friends. There are plenty of coffee shops where managers don't treat their customers this poorly.

Today we also tried their burritos (The Gobbler and The Chief). Only suggestion I can think of would be to have a hot sauce bottle or 2 at the grab-n-go bar. Would've made the burritos that much better for the spicy lovers. Staff was kind. Vibe of the inside is cute and lots to look at on their walls. Can buy the artwork off the wall if you'd like! Was given a punch card (buy 10 drinks, get 1 free), which we will definitely be using. We've tried so many local places in the area as residents of North KC, and this place definitely has the best iced coffees! Thank you! We will definitely be back.

The crew is always kind and leaves you alone to enjoy your tea in a quiet, quaint teashop. The decor and media around the shop from the TVs to the music to the games make it feel relaxing and fun. They also have quite a few different desserts like macarons that will not disappoint you. The outside seating is nice when the weather is cooperating and the speed of service is exactly what you expect for custom drinks. No more, no less.
