Based on the name, one may think that you must create your own drink from scratch, but that is not…read morethe case. In fact, this place actually has a large number of featured drinks and a well-rounded menu. They allow customers to create a DIY Custom Fruit Tea or DIY Custom Lemonade, but those were the only true DIY items I saw. + MANGO MATCHA FRESH MILK ($6.25 + $0.75 boba): Most of the time, I will order a signature drink or one that is labeled "recommended" on the menu. While this one doesn't fall under either category, I still decided to try it and am so glad I did! I customized it with zero sugar and less ice. The mango sauce drizzled on the sides of the cup added the perfect sweetness and tasted like the natural ripe fruit. After stirring it all up, the matcha was somewhat masked, but the drink was delicious, reminding me of a mango ice cream. The boba was cooked perfectly and had the ideal bounce. + WHITE PEACH OOLONG FRESH MILK ($6.25): I've read different opinions about this drink, but I personally enjoyed it! At 25% sweetness and light ice, I found this refreshing and reminiscent of peaches and cream. Neither the oolong nor the peach flavors were super prominent, but I was able to detect the slight bitterness of the tea and the subtle notes of peach. The drink just seemed heavy-handed with the milk, so it could have been more balanced. My companion ordered the LYCHEE FRUIT GREEN TEA. The menu states this includes lychee syrup and lychee fruit which we interpreted to mean lychee bits, but it turned out to be two whole lychees. She ordered it at zero sweetness, but she said 25% would probably have been ideal since the boba itself is unsweetened. Pricing is reasonable and on par with other boba shops. During both of my visits here, the cashier was friendly and very knowledgeable about the drinks. For example, we asked what was in Harmony's Lava Lamp and she was able to recall all the ingredients on the spot. Once we ordered, our drinks were prepared quickly and we were on our way. If you're seeking a snack with your tea, they have both sweet and salty options including Spam musubis, mochi donuts, chicken karaage, bubble waffles and more. I'd return again the next time I'm in the area!

Loved the games that were provided to play in store, we grabbed a board game and enjoyed the mini pancakes and boba. Everything tasted great, the tea was so fresh tasting (Assam Black Milk tea with boba), and the mini pancakes were excellent and lightly fluffy with the whipped cream and maple syrup, not too sweet, and an excellent snack! I think that for the size of the pancakes, though, the price was a touch steep, while the boba was well priced-- although I don't really like that there's a bit of a price increase for less/no ice. Don't want to criticize pricing too hard in the rating cause I realize it's a small business, but that's my objective take :) I think that if you come during the happy hour on Fridays to get pancakes & boba the value is awesome, and I'd definitely love to come back at that time to try more menu items!

We ordered drinks on the order screens before grabbing a tray to check out the treats. They have a huge variety of items and everything is well labeled!

We tried Bacon and cheese bread: 3/5, everything was on top, I think it would've been better with the cheese throughout and warmed Strawberry danish: 4/5! Very yummy, nice light cream and a crispy croissant Egg tart: 4/5! A little less eggy and more custardy than I thought it would be, but tasty! Sugar cream cheese bun: 4/5! My personal favorite! Crispy on the outside bread and soft on the inside, love the cream cheese Ube bread: 3/5, bread was good, but it was hollow with a light swipe of ube on the inside Hokkaido custard bun: 4/5!

The staff here are beyond friendly and honestly always make my morning. I love that they do a punch card after your 10th drink punch you get $6 off your order. They also do raffles sometimes, which I think is such a fun touch. Another thing I like is that they always have themed or specialty drinks. I haven't tried them yet, but I think it's fun that they get creative, especially around the holidays or different seasons. I also really recommend their breakfast burritos. The vegetarian burrito and the sausage burrito are both so good, definitely ask for hot sauce because it makes them even better. The only downside is that the line can get pretty long sometimes. I've definitely waited around 15 minutes before, so it's best if you have a little extra time. That said, once you place your order they make the drinks and heat up the food pretty quickly, which helps move things along. Overall, if you have a few extra minutes to spare, I totally recommend stopping by. It's conveniently located, the drinks are great, and the friendly service makes it worth the wait.

This lemon tea is absolute summer survival fuel! Just looking at the crystal-clear tea broth gets…read moreyou going. Take a sip, and the full-bodied lemon acidity instantly wakes up your taste buds. The tea base is light and crisp without a hint of astringency, striking the perfect balance between sweet and sour. You can taste the genuine, aromatic lemon freshness in every gulp--super refreshing and deeply satisfying. The history of Mascarpone dates back to the late 16th and early 17th centuries in the Lombardy region of Italy. Legend has it that its origin was quite accidental: a duke's chef was making dessert when he accidentally dripped lemon juice into boiling milk, causing it to curdle. Trying to salvage it, the chef drained the curdled whey, mixed in sugar and spices, and unexpectedly created a brand-new cheese with a velvety smooth texture. This became the predecessor of modern Mascarpone. This milk tea is essentially a gourmet dessert in a cup! Its soul lies in the towering cloud of whipped cream on top. Unlike standard whipped cream, this rich, velvety cap is infused with Mascarpone cheese, giving it an exceptionally luscious milk flavor and a silky texture that melts in your mouth without feeling heavy or overly sweet. The cocoa nibs sprinkled on top add a delightful layer of texture, while the smooth, aromatic milk tea below pairs the tea and dairy flavors in perfect harmony. While matcha is widely celebrated as a symbol of Japanese culture today, its roots actually trace back to China. Originating during the Sui and Tang dynasties, matcha reached its peak during the Song dynasty (960-1279 AD). The tea tradition back then involved grinding tea cakes into a fine powder, pouring boiling water over it, and whisking it vigorously with a bamboo whisk to build a thick, frothy foam--a ceremony known as Dian Cha. During the Song dynasty, the Japanese monk Eisai brought tea seeds, along with these processing and whisking methods, back to Japan. Over time, the practice took deep root, absorbed Zen philosophy, and evolved into the traditional Japanese tea ceremony (Sadō) we know today. Thousands of years later, this vibrant green, ceremonial beverage remains a soothing sanctuary for the modern soul. This matcha drink executes "freshness" to absolute perfection. Crafted with premium matcha powder, it preserves that signature delicate bitterness and clean sweetness, skipping any harsh astringency in favor of a natural, grassy aroma. The real highlight is the perfectly rounded scoop of matcha ice cream on top. As it slowly melts into the matcha base, the creamy dairy notes seamlessly blend with the tea, transforming the texture from crisp and refreshing to rich and velvety smooth.
