    Taro Milk Tea
    Molly L.

    I'm a big Taro Boba girl ... tried this place to see if it was good ...the flavor was really bland for me ... could barely taste the Taro in it at all ... flavor was washed out.. wasn't really impressed :(

    I need this place closer to where I live. Their macaroons are officially the only macaroons that I am a fan of. Period. They're thick, cakey, but stay true to being a macaroon. My husband got an ube beverage that was light and tasty. My only regret is not getting more to take home.

    Tiramisu Cloud Milk Tea(Must Try!)
    Hinna P.

    I got to try the Tiramisu Cloud latte (the pink lid) and it was so good. It tastes like brownies blended with espresso. The original tea tasted so plain compared to it. Usually I like the classic milk tea the best, but here not so much. It wasn't bad but I think the more unique options here are much more worth it. I went on Saturday around 4 and it was not the busiest but there didn't look like enough staff. The seating area is super narrow and at the window that goes out to the street. Seriously though it's so narrow to sit here, I feel like a wheelchair would not fit. Trying to leave was honestly hard because of how tiny the space is.

    Kumquat Jasmine Tea (dragonfruit and passion fruit popping boba)
    Diala A.

    A super cute bubble tea spot not far walking distance from Findlay Market! There is a wide variety of options (including non-dairy milk tea options with oat milk!). They also had some homemade buns (ex: red bean buns, milk bun, and pork buns!). The service was speedy but still nice quality. There isn't much seating so it's best to take it on the go. I got a jasmine tea kumquat tea with dragon fruit and passion fruit popping boba and it was delicious - it even had some candied kumquat in it!

    Brown Sugar Milk
    Jennifer M.

    Qlicious is my favorite place for bubble tea/boba in the city! My favorite thing to get is the brown sugar milk (or milk tea) (size small pictured) with tapioca boba. Make sure you specify what type of boba you want as it is separate from the drinks. I also love the cookies and cream drink! They have milk substitutes, including almond and oat milk, which is great if you're lactose intolerant like me! You can also adjust the sweetness level and how much ice is in your drink. Qlicious has the best tapioca boba in the city and they give a fair amount in each drink. Their drinks are so cute too! The staff is always so kind and helpful, and they make the drinks quickly. The only downside is finding parking, but the drinks are so worth it :)

    What a cute spot in OTR!! If you like bubble tea, this is the place for you. My husband and I each got fruit tea bubble tea on a hot day and they were delicious. I love getting a mix of tapioca and fruit pop boba for a bit of variety. It's a small shop but service is super fast and friendly. Will definitely be back--they have an extensive menu!

    Classic Taro Milk Tea
    Joanne T.

    Staff were very friendly. Dogs are allowed. Classic Taro milk tea (70% sugar) was very sweet and makes a good dessert. I recommend 50% sugar if you don't like your drinks too sweet. Boba was a good chewy texture. The kumquat passion fruit slush was very refreshing on a hot day.

    Brown Sugar Milk/Milk Tea
    Neha G.

    OTR's newest bubble tea spot serving up teas, pastries, and other sweet treats. The tea itself is $5.95 but you have to pay extra for the boba or any other toppings. An expensive treat at almost $7 for a small brown sugar boba milk tea. The milk tea was very sweet! Next time I'll have to tell them to make it 50% sweet. You have the option to get 25-100% sweetness level. The drink comes in a cute cup made of heavy plastic. Probably not the best for the environment, but I plan to reuse the cup as long as I can. Shake up the drink to mix the brown sugar and boba before taking a sip! Inside there is limited seating and a plushy boba tea for photos. They carry an array of Asian pastries, macarons, and sweets. The menu is expansive with items like smoothies, Yakut, and various tea flavors. A nice occasional treat on the go!

    Japanese Cheesecake
    Michelle J.

    Based solely off of the Japanese cheesecake...holy moly this was good. Like a cross between a pound cake and a cheesecake, delicious. Very hard to describe but not too sweet with the texture of a dense cake? Peach tea with the popping bubbles was also good.

    Biscoff Cookie Milk Tea
    Sayaka S.

    This place is probably the best boba place in the area. Menu is super authentic, and their tea actually tastes really good. They have a wide variety of selections including the ones you usually see in Asian countries! So happy I found my favorite boba shop

    Biscoff Cookie Bubble Tea and Japanese Cheesecake
    Adriana Y.

    Insane menu with tons of options many are unique! Beautiful handmade desserts. The drinks are made with high quality ingredients; it took me a few hours to finish my drink and it didn't get all gross and squishy before I finished it. Staff is super nice too! I got the biscoff cookie bubble tea and my husband got a fruit tea (he isn't a big bubble tea guy but really enjoyed his, it had blueberry popping boba!)

    Fruity Pebbles Drink and Matcha boba
    Sophie C.

    Qlicious has so many options and unique flavors on their menu! You can customize sweetness level and substitute dairy so there's a drink for everyone. The shop is so cute and smells amazing with the cutest pastry display. The girls in the back are always so welcoming and very fast at making the drinks. Their cups are also so adorable and have little heart stoppers on the lids lol. Definitely my favorite boba shop in Cincinnati! Update: I tried their pandan mango cake roll, japanese cheesecake, pistachio crepe cake, oreo macaroon, snow sponge cake, fruity pebbles cake, oreo crepe cake and lava cake. Wow! You can tell how much effort they put into their desserts and each one had amazing flavor and attention to detail. The crepes are my favorite with over 25 layers! Everything tastes so fresh and soft. Their snow sponge cake is also a must try.

    Large original milk tea with boba.
    Sandy E.

    This gem is definitely in the top 3 best places for boba tea in the Cincinnati area. If you are a boba tea connoisseur like myself, this place is a must. The boba is cooked just right. Most boba tea places in the Cincinnati area that I've tried overcook their boba causing it to lose their desired chewiness. The milk and tea ratio was grasped pretty well if you don't lean on the stronger tea side. I would have preferred the tea to be a bit stronger but overall it's still pretty good. The Japanese cheesecake was delicious. The cheesecake filling is packed with flavors accompanied by the moist cake. The Tiramisu Mille crepe cake was also deciduous. I really liked the strong coffee flavor and with every bite, you can taste the cream. The staff was friendly and made the ordering and receiving my order efficient. The store layout seems a bit odd and could use some decoration and a little TLC. It looked like they just moved in and still trying to get the store put together. Overall, the bubble tea was delicious and I will definitely be back!

It is loaded with pecans, sticky in the best way, and easily one of the best in the city. When they're on, they're really on. One thing I noticed was that the setup could use a little refinement. With both coffee and bakery items coming from the same counter, the line gets congested fast and the shop is quite small. A separate line for coffee and tea offerings - they have a bunch - and pastries would make the experience smoother and match the quality of what they're serving. They do offer vegan options, which I personally have no interest in, but just an fyi. Overall, they deliver excellent pastries and has the potential to be even better with a few small tweaks to the flow and menu variety. Still absolutely worth a visit, especially for that croissant and pecan roll.
