The owner of Bobalee reached out to me after my previous review and told me that the shop actually…read morebrews their Thai Tea from scratch instead of making it from powder. That intrigued me enough to revisit and try the drink out this past week. Thai Milk Tea, Small w/ Boba ($6.40) - As I was ordering, I was told that the sweetness couldn't be adjusted since the the tea was premade and mixed with sweetener. It's a little unfortunate, but it is what it is. On the first sip, the tea first starts with a somewhat dairy forward flavor, but immediately follows that up with an extremely roasted, smoky and somewhat astringent flavor of a very strongly brewed tea. About half a second later, an extreme sweetness floods the mouth but helps to balance out some of the smoky astringency. I'm not sure how they get it to be so smoky - I regularly brew Thai tea in an espresso machine and I've never gotten it to be so strong before. It's also much smokier than any Thai tea I've had in restaurants. The sweetness is a bit too much for me. After sipping a bit, I decided to save the rest for later and add some fresh brewed Thai tea to temper the sweetness down a bit. The boba this visit is a big improvement over my previous visit. This time, it's not rock hard; instead, the boba has a decent chew on the exterior while retaining quite a bit more firmness in the center. I found the boba to be a bit on the lumpier side and a little inconsistent in shape but it's not bad. Drink Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 3/5 I also asked for a small sample of the black tea. This is also pre-sweetened, probably on the order of 25% or 50% vs. a fully sweetened drink as compared to other boba shops. For my tastes, it actually right on the dot: not too sweet, which allows some of the natural tea fragrance to really be at the forefront of the drink without being drowned out. I honestly would get this tea as a milk tea without any additional sweetener added. Bobalee is a first mover into Ypsilanti. It's a very well run business, with friendly staff and great ambiance. As I mentioned in my previous review, this is a business that's worth supporting. Bathrooms - Single unisex room in the back.

Ube flavor was sweet and delicious, and gave the drink a pretty purple color. Boba was just the right amount of flavor and chew! Overall, menu is straightforward with a few options for the tea base, lots of flavor additions, and some classic mix ins. Their specialty drinks are intriguing as well. Menu is not too large or overwhelming. I am impressed and will be back to try other drinks!

I ordered a black milk tea with oat milk, ube, and boba. my husband ordered a half green tea half lemonade with peach flavor and peach pearls. the milk tea was not as creamy as i thought it would be. for both drinks, the added flavors were not very prominent. the drinks were not very sweet either but luckily that's what we were in the mood for. i did not dislike the drink but it did not leave a strong impression on me like a boba i had in the past from chicago's china town. i thought the menu was easy to read and order off of. they have cute stickers and little bagged snacks for purchase as well - maui monks and lesser evil popcorn (both vegan).

A pink floral wall contributed to a whimsical aesthetic while board games on the table gave entertainment options for patrons. I could see this as a space where friends gather to catch up and spend some downtime together. I appreciated that there wasn't any music playing so guests were able to focus on their conversation without worrying about white noise. The menu was clear yet not concise. There were many options - to the point that I felt overwhelmed. The workers were kind and patient, giving space for time to decide. I ordered the Mango milk tea with boba. When placing my order, the staff asked how much boba I would like while stating there were different amounts of boba offered as evidence by the 7 tier markings on the sample cup. I didn't realize that by following these directions, there would be an extra cost in addition to the drink price. I wish this had been communicated beforehand and think that transparency would contribute to stronger customer service relations. The drink had a sweet flavor and was light. I enjoyed the mango and it tasted similar to a juice. I thought the boba was dry. If I order a drink again, I would forego the boba toppings. Three stars because the drink flavor & the environment gave strong first impressions. I admit that not having been here before contributed to a lack of familiarity of the menu though I can't ignore the price paid for the taste of the boba. I'm open to frequenting them again & it's nice to know of another Boba chain to add to the rotation though I feel pretty ambivalent about them.

They have a pretty good selection of matcha drinks, and you can order from a self-service kiosk. I got the mango matcha latte, and my friend got the coconut matcha cloud. Our drinks came out pretty quickly, and the matcha was smooth and easy to drink. There isn't a ton of seating inside, so we just stood around while waiting for our drinks, but we didn't have to wait long. If you're looking to study or hang out with a friend, though, you might have a harder time finding a seat if it's busy. We were taking ours to-go, so it wasn't really an issue. They only have one size for drinks, but I'd definitely come back to try some of their other matcha and coffee options!

It was a snowy afternoon so the customer volume was likely lower than usual at the shops of The Courtyard in Ann Arbor. The suite had a bright orange awning and about ten tables of various sizes for seating. Several power outlets were available along one wall for students to plug in their electronics and hang out because this business was across from a large college campus. Two self-service kiosks were at the counter where you could place an order. A menu board was hanging on the wall to the left for quick reference. Just drinks were served here as no food was offered. The categories were milk tea, fruit tea, slush, chocolate, yakult, macchiato, fresh milk, and tea. Six recommended choices with photos were listed at the top of the board. I selected the second one which was the Tropical Special. This drink was from the fruit tea category which was likely where I would have made a selection anyway. Passionfruit green tea with pearls and coconut jelly were the ingredients. I requested light ice and normal sweetness. The tea flavor wasn't strong, and the pearls were chewy and clumped together on the bottom of the cup. The jelly was extra filler that added more texture. The price was at least two dollars less than what I would have paid for a similar product at one of my local haunts. I gave a 3.5 star rating for my experience at CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice.

They have three ordering kiosks right near the door, so the entrance got a bit congested with people waiting to order. One of the kiosks looked like it wasn't working also.

The customizations include ice level, sweetness level, and toppings. Toppings range from $0.65-$0.85 each so it can add up! Once we sent our order it took about 10 minutes for it to come out. The atmosphere of the space is just okay, it's not really very cute except for the one piece of wall decor. I wouldn't come here to hang out and I'd probably order online ahead of time next time.
