    Passion fruit freshy
    Sho R.

    I was roaming around the area and found this new bubble tea place. Inside the place is spacious and the ambience is really good. I went for a brown sugar fresh milk and a passion fruit freshy. Both were really delicious. I am impressed with the texture of boba. Most Connecticut places haven't figured out how to get it right. These guys got it. All customers seemed to be happy with their drinks.

    Strawberry Matcha and Brown Sugar Boba
    Queenie H.

    I'm a sucker for trying new boba shops. This is more of a local business so that's always great to support a small shop. There were plenty of fun unique flavors as well as original favorites so there's something for everyone. I got the strawberry matcha while my boyfriend tried their brown sugar boba. My matcha was light and the tangy strawberry jelly at the bottom added a nice contrast. It was topped with a salty cream foam with a generous amount of biscoff crumbles. Both drinks ended up being $19 total, which is super steep compared to other boba shops. However, since this was a small business and I could see over the counter that quality ingredients were used, that made up for the higher price. I love the ambiance of the shop as the walls were adorned with flowers, everything was pink, and the chairs were velvety and very luxurious. If we were in town, I would stop by again and try their other flavors and continue to support the local boba shop!

    Exterior on Main Street in Willimantic, Ct

    Paula & Jane's is a breath of fresh air on Main Street in Willimantic. The exterior is beautifully painted and decorated with gorgeous flowers. Currently living in San Francisco this exterior could easily be in the marina or Noe valley or Sacramento street. The interior is immaculate and the boba itself is fresh, flavors yummy and vibrant. The drinks could use a bit more tapioca but everything is being done right here! Enjoy these yummy drinks delicious and exciting.

    Absolutely adorable spot with sweet charm and delicious boba/tea. Friendly customer service. Quaint local spot for a Boba (which is hard to find in this area of the state).

    Seating area.

    This is an adorable boba shop. Cute decorations and the boba was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised and will be back.

    Delicious, they're the sweetest people, definitely worth the money!

    All the pastries here are great. I love the matcha, some of the best quality I've had in Connecticut.

    300 locations world wide... unbelievable!! Australia, Singapore.. London...with over 7 locations…read morejust in Connecticut. They specialize in fresh fruit and milk bubble teas. They use natural ingredients, fresh fruit ..fresh milk and none of the powder stuff which is what sets them apart. Some of their signature drinks are crème brûlée series, whale crystal series... But I wanted to get what I had gotten last week, "strawberry milk tea with boba".. but I didn't know if it was with milk tea or just milk so we ended up with one each... it tasted so good.. almost like blending fresh strawberries with milk and with the warm boba to chew on ... extremely delighted!! However I did not like the one with milk tea as much.

I found the space clean and the interior with enough character to make it a comfortable place to sit for a bit rather than just a grab and go counter. The brown sugar boba is the signature item. I tried it and the tapioca pearls were chewy in the way that good boba should be, with enough body that they held up through the drink rather than dissolving into something gummy by the midpoint. The brown sugar flavor came through clearly without being cloying. The broader menu covers fruit teas, milk teas, and slushes with a range wide enough that most preferences are accommodated, and customization options for ice level and sweetness allowed me to dial in the drink to my preference. The ability to order without boba if that is not your thing is worth knowing if you are new to the format. Service was friendly and the staff were welcoming in a way that made the shop feel approachable for a first time visitor. Order accuracy has occasionally been an issue, and online orders do not always get flagged as ready in the app when they are, so checking in at the counter if I have been waiting longer than expected is worth doing. Pricing runs over ten dollars per drink, which adds up quickly for a group, and the shop is closed on Wednesdays, a detail worth confirming before making a specific trip. For boba in the Storrs area, Whale Tea sits at the better end of what is available locally.

    Not my cup of tea…read more I've been meaning to come to this location to give them a try. Had the opportunity this time around, and decided to jump in. The location is very small. Not a lot of room to order or wait. There's a singular tablet to order from. Ordering kiosk was buggy. Had to select espresso multiple times to get to the coffee and had multiple upcharge prompts. And I guess they just started a Barbie promotion? Because the 4 seats in the place were taken up with influencers in Barbie and Ken garb. Decided to try their pumpkin coffee, because why not? Wait was a little long, but eventually I got my coffee As a coffee location, it's not great. I appreciate they have it, but it's very much a hint of coffee with a sickly sweet combo of pumpkin and strawberry foam. Not the flavor combo that works I get it, it's a boba tea place. Coffee is not its strong point, and it's not right to compare a coffee in a place that deals in almost exclusively tea. Even if I were into tea, I do have expectations. A kiosk that works, expediency in a chain location, and a drink that's not looking to hide any form of bitter in a mountain of sugar. If you really like boba and presenting yourself on social media, then this place could be your jam (or jelly, or boba) for me it's a pass

    Randomly decided to go kung fu tea at evergreen walk for a fruit tea that I was craving for the…read morepast couple days now. I got the passionfruit green tea with nata jelly. I didn't really taste the passionfruit, but more so of the green tea. I don't know if the majority of the drink is 85% tea, 5% jelly, and 10% passion fruit. The sweet level was not too bad, usually I tell them less sugar, and the drink still comes out sweet. I think that's what kung fu tea is known for compared to other bubble test shops such as teabreak or gong cha. Thus again is my experience in drinking bubble tea. The location and shop is super clean, the worker was nice, and the vibes are there. The drink was just mid. I have to crave it to just come to kung fu.

It wasn't busy and we were able to be seated right away. They have a lot of drink options. We ordered edamame, coconut shrimp, and pineapple fried rice. I ordered beef pho and green curry to go. All the food was served quickly and was so delicious. The pineapple fried rice was so flavorful that I could eat just the rice by itself without any of the chicken. The coconut shrimp was crisp and perfectly paired with the thai chili sauce. The drinks were a bit on the sweeter side than I would have liked. The green curry was delicious! The inside was opened with plenty of seating and bar seating available. The staff was super friendly and attentive. A lot of people came in to grab their take out orders. I would definitely swing by again!

The restaurant presented a notably clean and well-maintained environment. Our server, Destiny, was exceptionally friendly and attentive, contributing to a pleasant dining experience. The menu offered a diverse selection of dishes, with options that were clearly not limited to spicy flavors. I opted for white rice and a vegetable dish, which was both flavorful and generously portioned--so much so that I had to take food home. Based on our experience, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and accommodating dining option with their partner.
