I've heard a lot of good things about this place, so when my coworker asked if I wanted to head over for a BBT at lunch, you know I was all over that. I was totally overwhelmed by the menu; the drink selection is awesome, with add ons such as white pearls, matcha pudding, and basil seeds that you don't normally see in a lot of places. I got jolly time - matcha with red bean (great combo, btw) and white pearls (they were out of white pearls that day, so they subbed with regular pearls) and I added pudding. Maybe my drink was too sweet, but my pearls and pudding were bland as hell. I could taste some faint sweetness in the pudding, but the pearls flat out sucked. My coworker ordered the passionfruit kick which she thoroughly enjoyed, and my other coworker had the Okinawa brown sugar milk tea and also had no complaints. Since he added pearls to his drink as well (extra 50 cent surcharge), I questioned him on whether his pearls had any taste. His response? "Maybe it was because my drink was pretty sweet, but they tasted fine. "
You can customize your drink for sweetness and how it's served (less ice, warm, hot, etc.)
I hear the wait times can get kinda ugly here, but we had no wait whatsoever. It's a small little kiosk, so I can definitely see wait time being an issue if it gets busy.
I typically write off bubble tea joints that can't get their pearls right, but based on their awesome menu, I'm willing to give it one more try. As an added incentive, hospital staff get 10% off too. read more
