Taro blast was delicious, a nice taro flavor with crystal boba that was soft with a nice cream cheese cap, would recommend! They have a lot of fun options and changing seasonal ones too. It was $8 for a large specialty drink which is pretty on par with other places, plus it's one of the only boba spots in the area so worth stopping by!

Craved boba in Pittsburgh and found this gem!…read more Tried their signature drinks: - Brown Sugar Milk Black Tea with Bubbles: Good, but not wow (4/5). Ordered 100% sugar, but still found it slightly less sweet than expected. Had better-tasting ones elsewhere. - Brown Sugar Milk Black Tea with Oreo, Milk Foam, and Bubbles: Sweetness just right for my kid - 5/5! Also, devoured two amazing macarons: - Blueberry Lavender - Rose Hands down, BEST MACARONS EVER! Unique, distinct flavors - a must-try! Note: Service was a bit slow due to the crowd (even on a weekday evening!), but it's clear this spot is popular! Ambiance was cute, but surprisingly, there were no chairs inside - unsure if dine-in is even an option. We opted for takeout, which worked out fine. Worth the wait!

The brown sugar milk tea had a foamy texture that was really nice, definitely recommend getting 50% or less sugar which balanced the pearl out perfectly. Their seasonal Watermelon Coconut Sago though was a stand out, so incredibly refreshing with chunks of fresh watermelon, crystal pearl, and the creamy coconut milk, best summer drink I've had! The only negative is that the stand was very understaffed, with only one poor worker running around with many in store and online orders, making the wait really long. I hope they hire more people soon because I can't wait to come try their other drinks soon!

The app showed that my order was ready, so I went to the counter to pick it up. My order number was 21, but I heard staff calling numbers 23 and 24. I didn't see my order on the counter, so I wasn't sure whether it was ready or had been missed. I approached the counter, showed the employee my app, and he responded, "Oh, give us a minute," while waving his hand as if I were bothering him. I felt confused, and then he added, "Have a seat," before walking away. The employees were not wearing name tags, so I couldn't identify him (see attached picture) This is a great drink chain, so this level of service is not acceptable. I hope staffs can show more respect and professionalism when interacting with customers, especially these kids. Thank you.

New favorite Matcha spot. Stopped in for national matcha day, which they offered a $1 discount on…read moretheir entire menu! Menu offerings were so vast, it took me a while to read through everything because it all sounded so good! They have a couple of rotating specials and different grades of matcha depending on caffeine levels and a weekly rotation of their soft serve. In addition to matcha lattes, they have shaved ice, soft serve floats, espresso + matcha combos, refreshers, and combos I never thought of but wanted to try. I love a yuzu drink so I tried their yuzu cool, a yuzu blended ice drink topped with their grade 1 matcha. It was amazing. The matcha quality was fantastic and you could really taste the difference. My friend tried one of spring menu offerings, a peach based latte and loved it. There's very limited seating inside so be aware. Street parking outside. I can't wait to return!!

I came on a weekend to get their soft serve. We got their ube x black sesame ice cream as their…read moreweekend special. The black sesame flavor was strong and present, but I think the ube flavor was lacking. The earl gray ice cream has a very strong floral aftertaste. Earl gray has that tea taste usually, but it was very overpowering. The jade fog latte was good as a matcha with a lavender cold form but for $8 as a matcha with cold foam is steep. There's only about 5 tables in the store, but sometimes some ppl come here to study. Street parking is free nearby.

I ordered the build-your-own bowl, which came out to around $13. For the base, I did half sushi rice and half organic spring mix. I added two scoops of protein: tofu and chicken. For mix-ins, I chose cucumber, carrots, and wakame seaweed, then topped it with ponzu sauce, pineapple, edamame, and shredded nori for crunch. Overall, the bowl was definitely filling and felt like a good value for lunch. I did expect the chicken to be warm, but it was served cold, and the tofu was uncooked, so the proteins were a little disappointing and bland on their own. Mixing everything together helped a lot, especially to distribute the sweet and tangy sauce throughout the bowl. I would return, but I'd probably make some adjustments to my bowl choices next time.
