Went here after lunch to try their milk tea with boba. We ordered winter melon, matcha, peach with added boba for our orders. It's delicious and refreshing. Nicely decorated boba and coffee place. It's been in the business for 8 years, new ownership and management took over two years ago. Now owned by Fil-Am entrepreneurs. Lots of parking and nicely located in Richardson, Pls support this business. read more

4.5/5! What a sweet little boba shop! I was so excited to see an easy place to pop in and grab some boba near my friend's house when I visited her in Richardson. :) I dropped by fairly late in the afternoon (maybe 4ish) last Saturday. I entered a beautiful, fun, bright purple shop, with lots of adorable decor and fun accents. Despite it being pretty quiet business-wise, I was immediately greeted by two friendly and upbeat employees. Maybe it was all the purple decorations, but I was feeling adventurous and like I wanted to try something new, so I asked about the taro milk tea (Thai tea is usually my go-to, especially on a first visit). The employees described the flavor to me and then, to my shock and joy, offered to let me sample it! Maybe I just need to ask in the future, but in my experience, samples are a little hard to come by at shops like this. I very gratefully accepted and found that I quite liked it! Still, I'm so glad it was offered to me -- not much worse of a foodie experience than ordering something new and not liking it! Fantastic service! Thank you so much :) With that established, I ordered a medium size taro milk tea with boba. It comes in the kind of cup where you punch the straw through the thin cover on top. That's always fun. The drink was moderately sweet, with a faintly coconut-y type flavor. The boba also had a pleasant taste, though for me they were just a little too soft. Overall, an excellent experience in a cute shop with wonderful staff! I'll definitely come back next time I visit my friend in Richardson. read more

We came here to kill time while waiting to meet up with friends. Cute boba place, very colorful. They have large menu selection. I got the taro milk tea which was good. My husband go the German Chocolate Frappe, but it did not taste like German Chocolate anything. Service was good and friendly. I didn't get a picture of our drinks but I did snap a picture of the wall decal. read more

Amazing! I happened to be nearby and decided to check this place out. I am not a regular when it comes to Boba so asked for recommendations and the staff recommended me the Taro Milk Tea with Boba which was amazing! The best part about the teas here is that it was just the right amount of sweet! - not overly sweet nor too bland. It was so good that I asked if I could do a takeaway and try another one too - Lavender Milk Tea. Loved both of them! Definitely going to visit this place more! read more

Very friendly staff, speedy service, and fun atmosphere. Delicious boba. 10/10, will return.

Stumbled across this place cause I was next door. When I got back to the car I was like hmmm...let pull up Yelp and see what this place is all about. Based on the reviews and pictures I just had to try it. My daughter was with me and she was so on the boat of trying it. Begging..maybe a little. Shhh. Lol Went in and the staff, I'm assuming mom and daughter where the workers. Business owner. The place inside is sooooooo neat. Everything is purple..it's my favorite color so I was like woozers!! Plus crochet little things everywhere was in awwwww. Tried the avocado smoothie and chocolate banana. Both good. The chocolate banana could not taste the banana..tasted like a frosty it was yummy. The avocado smoothie was well blended..not so many avocado but still tasty. Would definitely come back and try some different flavors. For both our drinks medium, came to $9.48. Not bad. Average price. Thank y'all for the drinks!! We will see you another day!! :) read more

Nice service. Decent pricing and good variety of menu items. I had Thai tea, hibiscus green tea, and a birthday cake macaron. I wish I could eat ten of the macarons. They were delightful. The interior was clean and they had a cute kid sized table as well. The man working the counter was so polite. Middle of the day, this place is a good location to study or work remotely without too much interruption. read more

LOVED this place. The space on the inside is pretty good, one big table but there's a few small tables as well. Along with comfortable chairs. The mango smoothie with popping lychee was great; I've never tried popping lychee before and I'm glad that I did! The customer service is 11/10. They're sweet people and I saw them asking other customers questions to make sure they got their orders right. They had also gave me a free drink while I was studying. Definitely my favorite local joint, I recommend going here! read more

Great little bubble tea place right off of Renner and North star road in Richardson. Extremely friendly staff that made wonderful recommendations of what's popular and suggested drinks that we may be interested in. They have quite a large selection and combinations of mixtures. There are board games, a mini table football and a lounge so you can just sit, relax or read. The only thing is their quantity is less for the price when compared to other places. read more

My friend and I came here around 9:15pm on a Saturday night and it was quiet and peaceful. This bubble tea shop is decorated nicely and is in a peaceful neighborhood. My friend ordered a mango peace strawberry slushie and I tried their ghirardelli hot chocolate. My friend literally finished her slushie in 5 minutes because it was delicious. I got my hot chocolate and it was way too sweet. I returned it and the lady at the counter was so gracious and fixed my drink. It was delicious! They make the hot chocolate with steamed milk! Overall parking is great there are lots of spots and the service was even better! I cannot wait to come back here because everything was great!! read more

The new owners have their son working the front now who couldn't help us with our rewards. Then had an attitude and we've been loving this place for years. He could benefit from training on customer service and how important encouraging their rewards program is to maintain patrons. We all just want good value and a helpful employee. read more

The tea tasted delicious and fresh, we've tried a few around Plano and we thought we would give them a try and we're really happy we did. It even looks elegant and easy on the eyes when you go into the shop. I would recommend you give them a try. The shop was very clean inside , you can tell they take very good care of their business and their customers. Btw , Other places we tried, the tea tasted old, but at Smiley Cup I could really taste fresh tea and notice the difference. read more

This place is adorable but I've been here twice and really want to like it cause the staff is so sweet but I've had their banana chocolate smoothie and taro milk tea and both just taste so watery. The taro milk tea was sort of sweet and could taste some of the taro but was just super watered down. The Thai tea though is pretty standard but nothing outrageously good. Sharetea, Kung fu tea, ding tea, boba late all have better ones. read more

Tucked away in the middle of a strip. The staff is super friendly and bathrooms really clean. The best part is there is pretty much an outlet every place you sit so perfect for co working! Loved my pomergranate blueberry iced tea with mango jelly. Great assortment of bubble tea choices! My only complaint is no snacky things because although I love tea, I eventually need something snacky and preferably on the savory side. Other than that, love the decor and the vibe. My kids would love to come here for board game night! read more

Great service and drinks are custom made to my liking. Great environment and love the decor too! read more

The WORST boba. They never have business, but I tried to give them a chance. Ordered the taro milk tea, tastes bitter, and was super nasty. Keep your money go to another place!!!! Did I mention if you DON'T like your drink they WILL NOT give you another or give your money back. Really HORRIBLE place. Women owned... yet, they can't even help out a fellow women. AVOID Service BAD Ambiance makes up for their lack of service and bad boba. read more

Very friendly, had a great selection of milk and regular fruit teas. They do a great job with the varying levels of sweetness or ice. As I like less ice and my wife prefers less sweet. In many instances they'll offer a sample of your milk tea in advance to insure it's to your liking. We've been pleasantly surprised with how great each drink we've tried as been. Smoothies have been hit and miss, in some cases to much ice. However, it's only been a few weeks and they'll need to get into their stride. It's convenient on my way home from PGBT so we do stop by quite regularly. They make an effort get to know you and build a nice neighborhood feel. Look forward to seeing their new drinks. Wife would love Oolong tea or seasalt as an option. read more

Didn't like the decor of this place - it was too colourful. Tried the oolong milk tea with boba - it was pretty standard.

Always looking for new bubble tea places and decided to stop at this one today. Love how the place looks, has a very nice vibe to it. Not a vast selection for the milk tea, which is what I normally select, but the Wintermelon was a great choice. Prices are around the normal regular price, I believe it was $5.80 for a large with boba added. Enjoyed it very much so, definitely recommend. Staff was friendly as well, it's a cute little place! read more

Stopped by the new Boba spot in Northeast Richardson last night. I asked whether they had a non-caffeinated milk tea, but the workers didn't seem to know. The lady kept saying she could substitute milk for tea to make the drink non-caffeinated, but that would just be milk? They gave us a sample of the original milk tea, and it tasted a little funny. We went with the Banana Chocolate smoothie and it was okay. Nothing great. read more

Best Boba in Town! This was literally our go-to place for the best drinks around! It was always nice to get a refreshing cup of boba tea here. We really enjoyed many of the flavors offered, including Taro, Lavender, Matcha Green, Honeydew, Strawberry Pina Colada, Peach Passion Fruit, Cherry, Chocolate Banana, and Avocado. Their smoothies always hit the spot with that Texas heat! Their customer service was always top notch, too. Very friendly people there, who always greet you with a kind hello and smile. They were very helpful with suggestions and let us sample some, too. For some of the beverages they even accomodated customizations. They can adjust the boba, sweetness, and ice levels, as well, to ensure you have exactly what you want, how you want it. I know it's just something simple, but I like how they email your receipts, too, to save on paper. Every green effort goes a long way. And maybe it's just the kid in me, but I always loved picking out the color of my own straw! It's the simple things. In addition to their cute decor, they have table-top games while you wait and ample seating is always available. We never had to wait long, though. My husband and I would enjoy a few rounds of Checkers! The atmosphere has always been warm, receptive, inviting, and relaxing. Smiley Cup really gives you something to smile about! :) All in all, just a delight to do business here! We'll miss you, Smiley Cup!!! Come on up to WNY! Thank you for making our experiences with you so enjoyable. read more

Super nice people and amazing slushees. I didn't try the boba but i had the watermelon slush with apple jelly so delish.

Amazing tea shop! It's a super cozy environment that's very conducive to studying or just hanging out with friends. The staff are extremely sweet and thoughtful. If you don't know what to order, they'll give you good recommendations based on your preferences! When picking out a hot tea to order, the staff let me smell multiple different ones to pick my favorite. They also were very thorough about catering the sweetness level to my liking, letting me sample some of it to adjust as needed. I was very pleasantly surprised, as I'd never had this experience at other tea shops. Price is reasonable, and menu size pretty extensive. There is also a corner with various board games which you can enjoy with friends! I will definitely be coming back to study in the future! read more

I love the inside of the store. It's really cute with its purple walls and butterfly designs. The drinks on the other hand are a little watered down. I got a taro milk tea and it tasted watery. The boba was good tho. It's a nice place to come and hangout. They have games like uno and jenga. Not a boba place on the top of my list, but I'll give it another shot. read more
