    Soda pop!
    Belle C.

    A super cute small boba cafe with WiFi and outlets, but it's more of a grab and go cafe as inside there are only 2 tables of 4, 2 tables of 2, and a bench that could seat 3-4 people. Got the Nara Mango Sago $8.49: It was featured on their signature menu and comes with lactose free dairy, but there was too much dairy for my tastes. 5/10 for me but maybe it's because I'm comparing it to the traditional Cantonese Mango sago dessert, which may not be fair. However, for $10/ drink after tax and tip, I guess I was just expecting the taste to wow me a bit more Boba is $0.85 and actually pretty good, a bit chewy and sweet, it is the perfect addition. Inside is very aesthetic and I have to give them props for their decor. Order from the 2 kiosks for faster service as the 2 ladies are busy in the back making the drinks Bathroom: clean & modern, with a dyson sink

    The drinks were expensive. The customer service wasn't bad, she gave me the wrong amount of change by 5 dollars but when I asked she gave me the correct amount, so the customer service wasn't too bad! She got both of our names wrong but other than that the service was not bad. I tried the watermelon slush which was alright, not bad but I wouldn't go back. My friend tried the pineapple cream I believe it's called, it wasn't bad but not so good, also it was pricey!! I love boba places I've never not loved a drink I've gotten but I probably wouldn't recommend these two drinks, not too bad though.

    Happy to see this cute newer boba spot in a mall that desperately needs some new businesses, other than medical offices, to stay in business. There were a few people in line so we wanted to give it a go, but unfortunately we gave up. Don't know if this was unusual or they're still working out the bugs, but only one young man was working. He was trying his best. I hope there are usually more employees working bc the short line wasn't moving.

    While I was really hoping to love this, I'm on the fence. Everytime I've gone it it smells aggressively like cleaning products. This is partially a good thing because the assumption is they're cleaning really well but on the other hand it's so overwhelming each time. The tea is good but on the last round the ice tasted off (also like cleaning products). I know it's a new spot so hopefully this will get better ...

    Chrysanthemum tea with grass jelly
    Nina W.

    I think I'm between a 3 or a 4 stars so I'm giving a 4. I got the chrysanthemum tea, 30% sweet, grass jelly. The drink was good, tasted fresh. I knocked off a star because this place is expensive. My drink was almost $9. Yikes. I know it's PV but I think the drink is way too basic for the price. Also, we were the only one in there and didn't get any service.

    Green Thai Milk Tea
    Zeeshan Q.

    Really enjoyed their Green Thai tea. Light, refreshing, and not overly caffeinated. Decent prices, and a great place to stop by if you're in the promenade!

    Strawberry Matcha Latte was really good!

    Convenient online ordering, friendly staff, and delicious strawberry matcha and boba drinks! Love their Nara theme too!

    Inside
    Brenda L.

    The good: I'm very excited that this is a new addition to this shopping plaza. I've seen their sign up for months now and have long awaited their opening! The interior is modern and trendy and they have 2 self-ordering tablets to use. They have standing tables inside, benches and 2 lounge areas around two coffee tables.I tried a pineapple foam drink at 30% sweetness. The sweetness level was perfect. They played popular pop songs inside (ex: APT by Rose). They had non-caffeinated options as well. I am looking forward to trying more menu options. The bad: There was no boba when I came (not a big deal because I don't order boba anyway but it was noon so you'd think they wouldn't run out or at least have it ready by that time). They had mango jelly or grass jelly as topping options though. The drink was close to $9 without toppings. I think this was the biggest con for me. I think the foam on top drinks would've been more enjoyable to sip through a sippy cup rather than with a sealed lid and straw. With this type of cup, you either have to pull your straw in and out to drink the two components or blend them entirely. A sippy cup would've allowed you to naturally get sips of both without mixing them entirely. There was a lot of ice so a lot of the foam was stuck on the ice or the walls of the cup. The interesting: Nara's a city in Japan so I'm thinking this is a Japanese boba shop since they also have a variety of matcha drinks. The coffee table was the exact same one I saw at the Last Chance discount store this week.

    Menu at counter taken during soft opening 4/13/24

    Cute, trendy and friendly service at the mall! I got to attend soft opening on 4/14/25. The staff couldn't say when grand opening is. They had warm boba around 2PM, no issues. I had the brown sugar, made me think of honey boba(Lomita). 30% sugar was still pretty sweet to me, felt like 50% level sweet. My friend enjoyed the matcha and "favorite" blueberry flavor. They have lots of coconut infused drinks! I hope to try the jelly option next at the counter! Great additional to the mall for a place to sit for a little bit to hang out. Much needed!

    The service here is excellent. The person at the front desk was patient, kind and helpful picking out boba drinks for us. Would recimmend. Had the watermelon smoothie and it was delicious!

    Ordered for the first time and my husband went to pick it up - tell me why my $7 drink is not even filled to the top?! That's a lot of drink to skimp out on. And it just tasted like watered down strawberries. Not a fan unfortunately.

    Wonderful addition yo our area and has a great selection of teas and other drink options. I highly recommend this place with its charming art deco design style and quality offerings. The service is excellent snd friendly

    Great time at an awesome local boba store!
    Thomas M.

    Amazing drinks - all natural and very unique using real sugar and no corn syrup. You can taste the difference! Real fruit for the blueberry and the mango syrups my wife and I ordered one of each and we will be back!

It definitely caught our attention, and the menu had a lot of refreshing options. The lobby looks empty but they have a large seating area that was full so don't be fooled by my photo. We ordered the peach fruit tea and a matcha with boba. The matcha with boba was a delicious pick. The boba had a great texture and was probably the highlight for me. The peach fruit tea wasn't quite my thing. It came with A LOT of fruit bits (I'm pretty sure they were pears), which might be great if you enjoy that texture, but for me it made it hard to actually enjoy the drink. It was really lacking on the peach flavor but having to work around all the fruit took away from it. Overall, a decent stop if you're in the area and like fruit-forward drinks with real fruit pieces...just something to keep in mind depending on your preference.

Granted, South Bay has more limited options for fancier boba shops, so perhaps its location and accessibility makes it more popular. I've ordered a taro drink, a jasmine milk tea, and peach yogurt drink from here on separate occasions. All three times have been underwhelming. The taro drink tasted somewhat artificial and it wasn't blended well; there were still chunks of ice which kind of ruined the texture. It did not shine a light to Sunbright's taro in aromatic taro flavor. The jasmine milk tea drink wasn't great in that the tea flavor wasn't that strong, almost slightly watered down. Their peach yogurt drink had an okay taste, but the chunks of peach and yogurt syrup (or whatever is used) tasted quite artificial. Their boba also doesn't have that bounce/bite that distinguishes great boba from the not-so-great. This place is enough to scratch an itch, but look elsewhere if you're into more authentic flavors, as this leans a little more towards artificial and sweet rather than balanced flavors.

I'm a big fan of their Matcha Pearl Milk Tea, you can actually taste that they use a ceremonial grade. So it isn't overly sweet nor overly grassy nor bitter. Try subbing the pearls with their mini pearls and their creama topping - gives you different textures and a slightly different flavor profile for the drink that works really well! What sets this place apart is the customer service. The past couple times I've been helped, the cashier has let all customers take their time when deciding what they want. And he gives a lot of insight on both popular renditions drinks are enjoyed plus his own personal recos. Just be mindful of of the added costs from all of the different toppings available.

I typically see an abundance of seating to the right of the counter - as well as a mix of people socializing or working.
