I'd give this place a solid 3.5 stars--round up to 4 stars for nice customer service. Living in NC,…read morethere really isn't an abundant amount of boba places to venture to, but it seems like this place is highly recommended by college students and local boba enthusiasts. Being so used to many boba options back in CA, it kind of makes it feel weird to struggle to find a boba place nearby. The location is pretty convenient for college kids or adults to chill with friends. Lots of tables and even a shelf with some board games you could play if you had an hour or two to pass in the area. I can't remember the name of the drink, but I remember it having butterfly pea and lemon... or yuzu. Drink is aesthetically pleasing, but I'm not sure if I tasted what the drink mentioned. Still, nice attempt at being trendy with the boba menu. Maybe they're known for their milk teas here? It was quite busy when we can on a Saturday evening before closing. :) Drinks took around 10 ish minutes to make, but staff were quick to take orders and make drinks. If I remember correctly, there were two people working that day-- least in the front!

I am shocked I have not yet written a review for Boba Baba, when I go all the time!…read more I am a huge fan of their strawberry matcha, and more recently, of their butterfly fresca! Both drinks are delicious, and bonus points for also offering lactose-free/plant milk! But be warned, they do not offer the plant milk for certain drinks, since some are pre-mixed. Definitely ask before ordering! I would also highly recommend the puff pastries and mochi donuts! I had to search through my photos to find my favs: the ube puff pastry & the strawberry mochi donut. The puff pastry is a large portion, and heavier, so you can definitely share. The mochi donut is nice and light, so these are better to get more than one flavor to try.

I was so thrilled to find a Bengong in NC. It is one of my favorite chains that I've tried in…read moreCalifornia. I ordered remotely and got the peach oolong milk tea with barley, 50% sweet. This is always my go-to at a new Bengong location as a quality check of sorts. I didn't see the cream top option but I may have missed it. My drink was ready before I arrived at the small store. It was very clean and unoccupied, though the staff were busy making many takeout orders. I was handed my drink and out the door in a jiffy. Just like every other Bengong I've been to, there is a wish tree by the entrance, covered in handwritten wishes by customers. I loved my peach oolong, it was creamy, fragrant, and not too sweet. The barley burst in my mouth and had a nicely chewy texture. I regretted getting the medium size, as I could have easily finished a large. I will definitely come back to Bengong for my milk tea fix, and it is an excellent addition to the Triangle's boba scene.

Tried Feng Cha's new Ube Matcha latte for the first time, which cost around $8 with the boba at 75%…read moresugar level, and I was slightly dissatisfied. First, here are the positives: + Combination of ube and matcha give the drink a Dubai chocolate-like taste. + Fast and more friendly (compared to a few times before customer service. + Relaxing atmosphere with bright and welcoming decorations. And here's a major negative: - For an $8+ drink (including boba), the size just does not justify it. Base price without boba is around $7 but wish they included a free topping already. Compare that to Bobo Baba - which has similar price range - you just get more bang for your buck there. Would I order this again? 50% sure just to let my wife and her mother taste it for content. But me? I might stick to Feng Cha's brown sugar and mango drinks, which were more satisfying.

Visited NC over the weekend and a friend recommended we come here for Boba…read more The interior was really big and clean and I believe they just had their third anniversary. Parking is a little hard to find and you might have to park a little further if the lot in the front is full. I ordered the coffee milk tea with grass jelly. Pricing is reasonable for the size. I enjoyed it and I would come again.

One of my friends recommended this place and I thought I would finally check it out. I got the…read moreVietnamese coffee and my partner got the Ube Matcha. The Vietnamese coffee was pretty good. Not too sweet, but had a strong flavor. I personally really liked the Ube Matcha as well. I think it was definitely on the sweeter side, but I think the Ube goes very well with the Matcha. Definitely take some stirring or else you will get a salty ube foam at the very end. The inside of this place is pretty nice and spacious. It was very warm inside, but I think it's because there are a lot of windows. The staff here are very friendly as well. The prices are definitely a little bit higher but for what you're getting I think it is worth it. Plenty of parking outside as well. They also have free Wi-Fi and a good place to work if needed. Overall, I really like this place and definitely want to come back whenever I am in Morrisville. Looking forward to trying some of their other foods and drinks as well.

Bottom line: Purple & Pearl is a nicely decorated shop with many types of tea/milk/matcha type…read morebeverages. I enjoyed the strawberry lime tea here a lot with the minimum sweetness level. The croffle was good, I was a bit confused by the offered toppings however the whipped cream it originally has on it works well but has a very thick layer of it. I'd definitely come back for the strawberry lime tea in the future. The Deets: During a recent walk through the neighborhood, I noticed the newish Purple & Pearl and decided to pop in there. Purple & Pearl specializes in fruit tea/bubble tea/milk tea/matcha latte/Vietnamese coffee/fresh milk beverages with a few snacks in the form of croffles (waffle and croissant hybrid). Upon entering, this space is very nicely decorated with high aesthetic appeal. I looked over the menu and decided on getting the strawberry lime tea with a croffle to snack on there. I got the tea with the lowest available sweetness (sticker on it stated 25%, from the natural sweetness of the fruit it was explained to me as I did ask for no sweetness) and liked it a lot with a great taste as well as refreshing. Looking at the topping section of the menu under the snacks/croffle area, I saw custard and asked for that on my croffle. I was quickly informed, short version, that the custard was not actually available as a croffle topping so after the explanation I decided on going with the default topping which was a lot of whipped cream with powdered sugar. I did take off a majority (not all) of the whipped cream and powdered sugar and enjoyed the croffle itself as a nice snack (in the future I would ask for no powdered sugar). I would definitely visit Purple & Pearl again for a refreshing beverage, I enjoyed the strawberry lime tea choice very much.

The many different unique combination of flavors here are awesome to see, and even better to taste!…read moreIt is great to know that boba shops are not losing their creativity when it comes to making a great tea. SipCha is a small boba shop next to the Publix that has limited seating, but delicious drinks and friendly service. I certainly have a favorite boba destination, but SipCha gravitates me away from that other spot every so often, whenever I want to try something new. Here's what I've had here so far: Lemongrass Lychee splash: Oh man this is such an interesting one! One thing you notice is that the real ingredients are in the drink. So when it says lemongrass, you'll get lemongrass actually running through the drink. The flavors are real and strong, this was a good one! Passion in Paradise: I love passion fruit drinks, this one was no different. Pear Osmanthus: I was shocked to not only find chunks of pear in the drink, but a real tea bag, elevating the flavor of the drink. I love when a place does real tea, not just the powder. Oh, and this drink was excellent, would order again! Can't wait to keep coming back here and try more options! It is not everyday where I have lemongrass or even pear as an option!

The decor inside was also super cute :) I also like that you can find their menu online and it has all the prices listed. I'll always come here for a sweet drinks/treat. There was plenty of seating inside and some tables outside as well

This is the 2nd Kung Fu Tea location we've been to, and our expectation wasn't great after trying…read moretheir teas multiple times in the first location. We ordered something we've never ordered in a Kung Fu Tea before: Brown Sugar milktea. This particular Kung Fu Tea spot is in a fantastic location, next to our favorite ramen spot, Miso Ramen Bar. My girl ordered 1 we'd share while we finish our meal. Feng Cha in Morrisville was about to close so Kung Fu was the only milktea place we can get one by 9 PM. The texture of the boba is perfect, and the amount is well-balanced for a $6+ milktea. My first sip of the milktea itself didn't last a great impression, however. While I can smell the fragrant smell of freshly-brewed tea, I could barely taste the brown sugar flavor and the milktea doesn't taste as creamy as Feng Cha's or Milklab's. Even Tiger Sugar near H-Mart served better quality brown sugar milktea but it's slightly better than Breco Tea's disappointing Brown Sugar milktea. In other words: This milktea is average compared to other Brown Sugar milkteas we've tried. My girl loves its aroma and she says it's not bad. Customer service is fast: Barrista was able to serve our drink in less than 5 minutes. Ambiance is fine, place looked clean. Overall, I see Kung Fu Tea Cary as the McDonald's of the milktea industry - franchise looks as strong as Quickly's. and it'll be enjoyable to a casual milktea customer. But why settle for average when there are other milktea spots that can offer higher quality blends for about the same price?

There was only one person working out front, but it was a very slow Friday. Definitely shouldn't have taken as long as it did. We placed our order, we were then notified they ran out of oolong tea. At this point we had already waited close to 20 minutes for our drink so we decided to wait the extra 5-7 minutes for the tea to be finished. We ended up leaving the spot 34 minutes after placing our order. Used to come here once a week, but will probably avoid it for a while. There were a few other people who had issues with their order during the time we waited in the store too. A man waited 20 mins only for his order to not have been properly placed by the kiosk.
