    When I walked in no one was at the counter to take my order. After standing there for a few minutes I opened and closed the front door which has a chime letting the employee in the kitchen stick her head out in acknowledgment. Apparently if you enter through the patio door they can't hear you in the kitchen. Ordered a Thai milk tea with boba. I was actually surprised to get fresh, warm and perfectly sweetened boba. I ordered my drink at 50% sweetness since their drinks run pretty sweet. Indoor seating was impossibly cold so I set outside and got some work done in their beautiful patio. I love how it's gated and private.

    Went a couple times after eating next door at Taegugki to take advantage of their discount when you show receipt. Their specialty drinks are fun and creative but very sweet and dessert-like. I personally prefer a light fruity tea so the Map of the Soul was my favorite. Though both times I've visited had very few people inside, it does look like they are very community-oriented with bulletin boards promoting lots of events and local small businesses. Love that!

    Came over after a lunch at Taegukgi. If you bring your receipt, Yu get 20% off! Drinks were delicious and service was super nice! They don't have milk teas like more original boba shops, but their mix drinks are still yummy!

    Some specials - k pop inspired!!

    I've been going to the Korean Rose since it's opening! A couple of my go to milk tea flavors at Wintermelon and Honeydew. I love that they offer several alternative milks - almond, coconut, macadamia nut to name a few. I feel like it's definitely lively in the evenings and offers a nice quiet environment in the afternoons if you want to sip on something and work/study. They always have specials, you can't miss them. Like you literally can't miss them they are on a board right in your face when you walk in!!!! I always try to make an effort to stop here if I'm passing by!

    Marinated short rib, ribeye, sirloin, and spicy chicken

    I must be spoiled by the KBBQ from LA and Vegas but this place was not at all worth 43.99 per person for AYCE. I would have rather spent that at a steakhouse and not cook lol. The hostess didn't greet us and had no facial expressions, she asked how many and then said "sit down relax and I'll call you when ready", and walked away (guessing it was not her day). Joshua our server was new at serving and very sweet. He was doing his best at attending to all his tables but I think they were understaffed because it would take 8-12 min after asking for the next 4 proteins to receive them, by then our grill would be burning and our vent was not working to top it off so we got smoke inhalation each time we finished cooking. I almost asked for a fire extinguisher :-/ I knew I should have worn a shower cap cuz my hair was not having it lol. They ran out of regular shrimp and ice, so our refills weren't that cold. For an Asian restaurant, they DO NOT serve hot tea which is crazy. The sides were not appetizing except the potato salad and white rice (can't mess that up). Shrimp and chicken were not the best, but I will say the thin cut ribeye and the marinated short rib and sirloin were the only good things we enjoyed and luckily we all were able to get a ribeye each cuz I wasn't sharing that meat, nope! By the last ribeye (you only get 1 at a time) they had ran out so we didn't even get our last ribeye So for $200, my family ate white rice and a few meats. Definitely not returning

    This was my first time visiting the Korean Rose, but I follow them on Instagram and one of my favorite things is that they are super community oriented. This cute boba shop is right next to a really delicious AYCE KBBQ restaurant, but they also host a myriad of community events with a focus on uplifting local small businesses and creatives. I love being able to support a business that shares the same values as me and not only do they show so much love for their community, but their drinks are good, too! Next time I stop in, I'll have to order their snacks.

    Honey cinnamon latte with boba and the rose tea with jelly and boba
    Taylor R.

    I am not sure how I hadn't come here yet in the near two years they've been open, but wow! As soon as I saw that they make their coffee drinks with James, I was SOLD! I had the honey cinnamon latte with coconut milk and boba and I am OBSESSED. Our lovely worker behind the counter was so kind and patient while my aunt and I tried to figure out what in the world to order. She was available for all kinds of questions and really made this an amazing experience!

    After a quick lunch, we decided to use our discounted ticket for some boba. I got the Vietnamese coffee with grass jelly. They allowed me to opt for less sugar at 50% which was just right. Although, I'll admit there was a bit too much ice. My husband's strawberry matcha was good too but I probably would try something else next time. Service was good. Drinks came out fast.

    $6.79 after tax.  Pricy, but good.
    Eric L.

    The only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the price. Regular black iced coffee is $6.79 after tax. I tip a dollar so we're at nearly $8 which feels more like a treat to me. Other than that, the coffee is excellent. They might want to add more tables to make it feel cozy since it's pretty sparse, but since I've been there twice in the afternoon I didn't have problems finding a place to sit. Convenient location on Speedway, ample parking, fast service, friendly staff.

    This boba place is right next door to Taegukgi so you can get your Lorean bbq fix and then stop by for a boba dessert. I've only been here a few times and have only tried two drinks. Matcha Maker drink is tasty, especially when you add brown sugar boba. The Korean Rose is refreshing with its butterfly pea tea and strawberry popping boba.

    I've been to The Korean Rose a couple of times. I don't think their drinks are amazing (they use very generic boba ingredients: fruit syrup, boba pearls, different flavors of jelly), but I do think the owners are creative with the colors of the drinks and the names. The staff is always nice so I guess that makes up for the diabetes-inducing ingredients lol. I do wish the owners would look into adding more fresh fruit or healthier ingredients :) not throwing hate, because.... I get that I'm drinking boba after all. It is overall a super nice and spacious study space if that is what are looking for!

    Euphoria Bubble Tea
    Kelly S.

    Popped in for a refreshing drink during my weekend in Tucson. They have a much different selection to choose from and I had a hard time deciding what to get! Settled on the Euphoria with yogurt boba. Absolutely refreshing - strawberry and citrus flavors this is part of their K-Pop series of drinks. Tasted wonderful on the hot afternoon day.

There were great coffee options and I love the local items for sale! Plus, one of the stickers for the café was drawn by one of the baristas! I enjoy those little details in a local coffee shop. I loved my marshmallow iced latte and wish I could have hung out because it had nice casual seating and a great vibe. Would recommend & come back to try other latte options.

When my husband received our drink order and tasted his, he told me it didn't taste right. (He orders the same thing at every place, a vanilla latte) He asked the employees if it was the correct coffee and let them know it did not taste right. Instead of remaking it or apologizing to rectify the issue, they were rude and unopologetic. The employee told him, that's how we make it here and that they would not remake it. They also said they have plenty of customers, so us not returning would not hurt their business. This is now the second time my husband has not had the best experience at this location. I did taste his vanilla latte and it tastes like dirty milk. I'm disappointed in their service and now the coffee as well. I'm sad to leave this review. My husband and I use to come here quite often. We have recently been visiting many of the small locally owned coffee stores around Tucson. One, to broaden our coffee buds and two, to support the local small businesses. This is one we will not be returning to.

    I've been wanting to try Savaya for a while and finally got the chance when meeting a friend in…read moreperson to take care of some business. A couple things to note: this isn't a very large space. Much of the shop is taken up by the coffee roasting and grinding equipment, along with bean storage. Seating is limited to a few two-top tables, one larger six-person table, and a standing-room-only shelf for about 3-4 people that has a single power outlet. If you're planning to get work done and need reliable Wi-Fi or easy access to power, this may not be the ideal setup. The layout is a bit funky, and the Wi-Fi was spotty during my visit, which made it frustrating to work online. I did mention this to the staff, and they were already aware and had Comcast scheduled to come out later that day. That said, if you're just here to chat and enjoy a good cup of coffee, Savaya works well--as long as you can snag a seat. The coffee was excellent and the service was friendly and thoughtful. The barista even asked if I wanted room for creamer and, after I added some, topped off my mug for free. Refills are only $1, which is a nice touch. Parking is in a strip mall, so it wasn't much of an issue. Overall, great coffee and service, but limited space and unreliable Wi-Fi keep this at four stars for me.
