It's my mission to check out at least one boba shop whenever I travel, here was my experience…read more AMBIANCE: Parking: It's in a plaza. We didn't have much issues as there was a lot of space. Seating: Both inside and outside seating. Great for groups and patio seating outside to keep you dry. Vibes: It's in a plaza, maybe 10 minutes away from Downtown Birmingham. The plaza consists of restaurants, a gym, and a grocery store. The spot itself is spacious, clean, and welcoming. A great place to hang out with friends or be friends. FOOD: Peppermint Boba (Recommend) A seasonal drink that was a pleasant delight. The peppermint wasn't too strong, it was well balanced with milk and the boba was chewy. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! The store opened and there was a rush of 3 customers. The kid in front took care of it well. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Great! This is a solid enough representation of boba so it's glad to be shared here in the Dirty South! The prices are reasonable, food is delicious, and I appreciated the range/variety they provided. For those craving a boba fix, be sure to check this place out! Shoutouts to Ashley and Tam Duong for bringing this delight to Alabama and best wishes to new owner, Hugo Anguiano, and his team on this business.

My husband and I have been on the hunt for the best bobas in town! We had a taro smoothie, the…read morefirst time turned out great but the second time they did not blend the ice thoroughly. So we were biting on chunks of ice, which was not enjoyable. Although we had that issue we would go back again and let them know what happened. The ambiance is casual and the service was fine.

I stopped by Mr. Tea Boba & Coffee intending to order a regular hot coffee (offered in two sizes: small $3.89 and large $5.89). I was told the only milk option available was whole milk, as they had run out of alternatives. The experience quickly went downhill. The man at the counter refused to let me order a large and said I could only get a small. When I asked about adding caramel drizzle to their house coffee, he suddenly denied that order too. When I politely asked why, he told me it would be "too expensive for me." I then asked the price of a latte--he said it was a little over $5. I replied that I would gladly pay that amount for a house coffee with caramel drizzle instead. Still, he refused and repeated that it would be too expensive for me. I left feeling frustrated, disrespected, and shocked by the interaction. This was not just poor service--it was offensive. I truly wish I could give zero stars.

I was hoping after a while the ice would make it more palatable, but no such luck. I had barely touched the drink. Since I was busy with our toddler my mom took it back to get a replacement or refund. They demanded the receipt, and when it was produced they agreed to the refund but refused to make a plain latte to replace it since "you didn't like it the first time." I'm very laid back and don't like asking for special accommodations at businesses, but this request should be the basic in customer service (and as someone who has many years in customer service myself, I would know). I've never witnessed such rude and unprofessional behavior. The owners/employees should be ashamed. Don't patronize this business that is run by people who obviously have zero respect for their customers. 0/10

There is not much space to sit down since it's located in the Market, however great for a pick up and getting grocery shopping done. Our cashier was very sweet and respectful. She was doing the best she could even though many of the flavors that we wanted were out. Once they get their shipment to stock inventory, it will be great! Only 4 stars bc was confused where the boba store was located once arrived to the location. Had I not been familiar with the area, I would have turned around. It would be great if they can add a sign to the main market sign to mention the Boba Store! Store: The packaging for the boba drink was easy to push the straw through.

I ordered the Pandan Caffè Latte, and I was really pleased with it. The coffee was strong but not overpowering, and the Pandan "cloud" foam was delicious. I especially loved how thick the foam was--it stayed on top even after I finished my coffee! Another thing I appreciate is that Leafly stays open later in the evening. If you're looking for coffee in Birmingham after 5 p.m., this is definitely a spot to consider. They also have plenty of seating, making it a great place to get some work done or meet up with friends. Their instant ramen options, which allow you to customize your bowl with different toppings, are another fun addition to the menu. The staff was friendly when we arrived and helpful while I was ordering. Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be back in the future!
