    Drinks here were so good. I got the strawberry bubble tea and the service was quality and quick with digital ordering available. Super cute aesthetic inside and very clean.

    Rolled ice cream menu

    Stopped by here today after a boba craving hit - my Mom got the taro milk tea with boba and I got my favorite Thai milk tea with boba. The taro was the best I've had because it's made with real taro instead of the usual purple powdery stuff. Boba was fresh and so chewy! They also have rolled ice cream here with tons of different flavor combos. Would definitely try this next time! The menu is listed on a laminated sheet when you order.

    We drove 60 minutes for a 5 star rolled ice cream experience!! Lol what a disaster!!! Lol none of the cream was actually rolled!!! It just kept breaking apart!!!! Lmaooooooo My son said it was yummy though!!!!! Wish he didn't watch the rolling show!!! Lol

    The brown sugar milk tea was delicious! The large is really big! It also looks beautiful. I ordered and got my order within minutes.

    Ok bubble tea for the area. We had tried the following: - signature milk tea - taro fresh milk - mango fruit tea - pamelo lemon fruit tea Not sure what was going on but it took over 20 mins for us to get our order. The two orders after us got theirs before we got our drinks. The signature milk tea is good. Good tea flavour and boba was soft and sweet. The taro fresh milk is made with real taro (not powdered) and literally milk. Note: there is no tea in this. Both fruit teas were refreshing. But the mango one was better.

    Cute little spot to grab some bubble tea. Stopped by wanting to try the whale drink but was a bit disappointed by the flavor. The brown sugar milk tea was decent. However the decorations are super cute and seems like a chill spot.

    I ordered the brown sugar milk boba, and it basically tasted like milk with barely any flavoring. I was incredibly disappointed as I paid $7 for it and barely drank a few sips. The tapioca was disappointing as well, more slimy than usual. There is a good amount of indoor seating though, which was very clean.

    fun atmosphere with very good service, whale tea served it's purpose of amazing bubble tea! the drinks we ordered came with warm boba and just enough sweetness. no powdered taro, which my mom enjoyed, and fresh fruit drinks made us definitely want to come back and try more! i drank every last sip and boba, i cant wait to go back!

    Matcha Tea with Almond Milk and Boba
    Tia Y.

    Very cute place! Love the decor and ambiance they've created. We dropped in during lunch and it was empty. I think I would need to try another drink to give it a fair review. I had the matcha tea with almond milk and it was okay. May return to try another drink. They do have instant cameras that you can take and post your photo around the restaurant and that was a fun idea! The service was good and friendly.

    Brown Sugar Fresh Milk

    Loved it. The service is very fast and drinks are very good. Fav in town. Indoor is pretty nice; good ambiance.

    Signature boba milk tea
    Ming M.

    I was so excited to see there was a new bubble tea place in Fairfield and went to try it out. It was really yummy! The bubbles were nice and soft and sweet. So happy there is a boba place here now and I can't wait to try different bubble tea options.

My only annoyance is that in the strawberry matcha with coconut milk, they couldn't adjust the sweetness with the alternative milks, only the regular milks. I thought that odd and nonetheless the drink was pretty sweet even though I enjoyed it overall. Maybe I would try the other drinks to see how the other flavors are adjusted for sweetness as well.

    Oh, this bubble tea was so good! Ended a SONO shopping trip with a bubble tea from the Black Pearl…read more Located on the 2nd, conveniently on our way out of the mall. It's near the H&M store. For a busy Saturday, they had a lot of friendly staff turning out drinks quickly. They seemed to always have a line, but it moved fairly quickly. There were a few small, lounging chairs with tables near by, but for most people sip and enjoy their while walking through the mall. I couldn't pass up the Purple Mountain drink, a taro and ube mix with brown sugar tapioca pearls, topped with a cream cheese milk cap. The tapioca pearls were perfectly al dente, lovely brown sugar flavor, and not overly sweet. The drink was on the thicker side and I liked that the taro and ube flavor wasn't artificially tasting. They had two sizes: Queen and King--so fun! I went with the Queen (smallest size). Black Pearl Bubba Tea has a lot of your classic and unique bubble tea combos. From coffee, matcha, to fruit combinations, whether you are new to bubble tea or a pro, there was something for everyone. It wasn't overly complicated either.There was a sign that stated if you didn't like what you ordered, they would make something else. I also liked that their menu had pictures of what the drink would look like because who doesn't want the prettiest drink? It was also nice that they had dairy-free and caffeine creations. My Purple Mountain drink was caffeine free. This was one of the best mall bubble tea places I've had in a long time. I will definitely be stopping back by when I visit the SONO mall again.

It's perfect for chatting with a friend or getting some work done. Service here is really nice and always consistent.

I got the tiramisu latte and it was a bit of a let down. Not very flavorful in terms of tiramisu, sweetness, or coffee. It just kind of tasted like milk. In addition, the drink was $9, sooo expensive and not worth it. My friend got the matcha mango latte which was good though. It tasted well of good quality matcha but she did have to buy an extra shot for $1.25. Her drink was over $9 too. Overall, this place is very expensive, not that tasty, and not the most vibey place to study/ do work. The donuts were your classic mochi donut, nothing to write home about.

    Here's an updated version with the details about the extensive menu:…read more I'm thrilled that Black Pearl has opened a location closer to home! My daughter has become a bubble tea fanatic, and we've always preferred Black Pearl's offerings. Previously, the closest location was at the South Norwalk mall, which wasn't always convenient. We had to settle for other bubble tea spots, but now we don't have to! This new spot, just minutes from home, is perfect, and I know we'll be visiting often. The store is beautifully clean with a minimalist design that's warm and inviting. Eric, the employee working during my visit, was so personable, kind, and helpful--especially since I didn't have my "bubble tea expert" (my daughter) with me to help pick out a drink! Their extensive menu is fantastic, offering not just tea-based drinks, but also fruit-based options, milk teas, coffee choices, and even frozen drinks, ensuring there's something for everyone. I was also impressed by the seating options: not only are there tables, but there are also stools and high-top tables, giving a nice variety. The South Norwalk location was a small kiosk, so having this spacious Trumbull spot is fantastic. A bonus: alongside their delicious and innovative drinks, they offer beautiful French macarons that pair perfectly with the beverages. I also love that they have a loyalty program--I know we'll be back regularly! Welcome to Trumbull, Black Pearl!

So I went in and ordered a sweet sunshine tea (which has Mangos and lychee mixed with jasmine green tea, with lychee jelly) and Amber Lake (Lychee and passionfruit mixed with black tea and ice, with lychee jelly). The tea bases in the drink were strong and present which is good. The boba was nice, chewy and fresh, even though it was the end of the day. The drinks weren't too sugary and there was a fresh balance between the tea and the fruit taste. All in all a pretty solid spot.
