Review Visit: November 13th, 2024…read more A little star power in your boba. Wandering around Eau Claire, visiting store after store and sculpture after sculptre got me a bit thirsty. While we were wandering around Oakwood Mall, we swung by the food court just to see what the options were. I spied a boba place as we looked around. Tim talked about how Rocky Rococo has weird pizza slices. I said if he's getting food, I'm going to grab some boba... so that's what we did. I always find boba menus confusing. After having been to a handful, each one does their menu a bit different so it took me a little bit to parse what I wanted. The lady behind the counter was super friendly and super patient while I decided on the black tea oreo boba with tapioca pearls in it. She was able to whip up the drink in just a few minutes and then I made my way back to where Tim was scarfing down his strange pizza slice and breadsticks. I stabbed the straw through the seal and started sipping... and what a sip it was. While I was hesitant on what I ordered, it was delicious and just what I needed to recharge my battery. Each sip was better than the last. While I was waiting for my drink to be made, I noticed on the side menu an option for a Royal Black Milk Tea. When I come back in 2025, that is going to be my choice of drink. The oreo drink was dang good but this sounds more like my kind of jam. There is also a Star Cup in the downtown area that I hope to visit next time.

Love the flavors here. Glad it's an option in the area. Usually I'll get a black milk tea with some…read moreflavor or another, and the popping boba.

Keeping in mind that I live in California where we get multiple dueling boba shops within the same…read moreplaza, Tea Time was passable. (I really am spoiled by the high quality tea shops in my home state.) I usually get my first drink at a place at whatever the recommended sweetness level is to get a feel for the baseline sweetness level, and Tea Time is sweeter than I am used to, but they do offer sweetness adjustment, so that's just something to keep in mind. I wasn't in a fruity mood, so I got the toasted brown sugar milk tea, and it really just tasted like a normal milk tea to me (but with extra sugar)? The molasses-y flavor of brown sugar was barely there, even at the recommended sweetness level, and I felt the boba was a little over-done and slightly mushy, but it may have been an off day since it was a weekday in a colder season and the shop didn't have many visitors while we were there drinking our tea--higher turnover usually means fresher boba in any boba shop. Overall, a reasonable boba shop if you need to satisfy the craving while in the area. Since I visit Rochester annually to see my husband's family, I figure I will be back again some other year, and I look forward to seeing the Rochester boba scene grow.

Excited for a bubble tea shop so close to the hospital. Service was quick. The shop has some…read morecounter seating. There were lots of options. I tried my usual default Jasmine Milk Tea w/ tapioca (confirmed it was lactose free). The drink was light but still milky, didn't taste too watery. Had a strong jasmine flavor and a mild tea bitter aftertaste. The tapioca was soft but chewy and didn't harden up. Excited to try their other flavor next time!

always good service and my order always has the same amount of flavor and taste as the last one.read more

We went to this location through the drive thru and ordered two large strawberry banana smoothies…read morewith no boba. We received two large strawberry smoothies with boba but didn't realize until we took a sip and were already pulled away. We went back through the drive thru to tell them their was a mistake and they proceeded to take the smoothies back that we had already drank from and put the smoothie and the boba back in the blender to blend the boba into the smoothie instead of remake with no boba. So when we got our new smoothies they had all the casings from the boba mixed in the smoothie it was disgusting to have little sacks in our smoothies. We were so frustrated we just left. This happened 1/14/24 between 410-425pm. I reached out to them about this experience and never heard anything back.

We ordered the vegetable egg rolls which came with a very different and delicious sauce than the run of the mill duck sauce and hot mustard. They were a crisp and hot when served and we would order them again. We both ordered the vegetable ramen which was loaded with plenty of fresh vegetables and rice noodles in a wonderful broth which was not too salty. The dish had plenty of umami for our pallets and we both highly recommend this choice for others who want to avoid meat. The restaurant is convenient to downtown and just around the corner from the Pablo Center where we had tickets for the Eau Claire Jazz Festival kickoff concert. The space overlooks the Eau Claire River just above the confluence with the Chippewa River.

This place is new since the last time we came to Rochester and to Pho Chau. I can't even remember…read morewhat was there before Kung Fu Tea took over. This is probably going to be my second go to place for bubble tea next to Tii Cup of course. It's great that they have online order for pickup during the pandemic. It was quick and easy to order. We had to perouse the menu on their website to learn what is all on the menu since the postmates ordering online doesn't include a description of what's in the drink. I love that they don't skimp on the bobas. We ordered the Cocoa cream Wow and the herbal jelly wow. I like that the drink is not so sweet without you telling them how sweet you want it like at Chatime. Overall, a good experience and the drunk is reasonable. Would definitely come back again.

We were looking for coffee in downtown Stillwater and stumbled across this place that had a Cold…read moreBrew Boba Latte! Couldn't pass up 2 of my favorite things, coffee and boba, all in one. Would definitely get it again! There were also a lot of waffle options. We tried the Maple Bacon and it was delicious. Very fun inside with lots of board games, a piano you can play, bean bag chairs, and lots of seating available. Friendly and fast service. Just about a block off the Main Street in downtown but ideal for grabbing a treat and walking the river or Main Street or playing games inside!

Ordered 4 dozen cupcakes for a birthday celebration. Each flavor was deliciously delightful…read more Cupcakes are light and moist and I especially like the ones with fruit. Beautifully decorated with fruit or drizzles on top. The cupcakes were ready for pickup on time. Always receive friendly courteous service when working with Ka Lia's Kitchen.

Ordered online for pickup. Egg drop soup, mongolian beef and a soda. The best part was the soda…read more The soup was in a huge container (what I would consider family-sized) and didn't cool within 20 min. to make it eatable/drinkable. The worst was the mongolian beef; no joke, it was 85% onions (green onions and white onions). I legit don't even know if I had $1.50 worth of beef because a few pieces were so gristly I spit them out.

The chicken eggroll is probably my least favorite, it was under heat and not freshly made. I prefer my eggrolls to be hot out of the fryer. I walked in for carry out. You can order ahead. I took a menu to go for next time. Decent service, it was pretty quick. There are three tables inside so I suppose you probably could eat inside if you wanted. They have a few beverages for sale in a cooler as well.

The Boba is ok (though i only get one thing so idk how the menu is outside of it)…read more The Service is always decent (don't really need it but the person at the front counter is friendly) Ambiance is not great. Always feels corporate and a tad weird... HOWEVER The sticky note wall is the coolest thing i have seem from a business (Especially the Poke-Wall that i have contributed to half a dozen times by now) and i must applaud whoever decided to do it. Keep it up!

I got the lavender matcha with boba and it reminds of the milk that you can drink after eating a bowl of fruit loops cereal. The boba is also cooked well, soft and chewy, and coated with the right amount of brown sugar (not too sweet). My partner got the OG Vietnamese coffee and he said that it was also really good. I definitely will come back the next time I'm out here.
