Rating a smoothie place is pretty simple. It's usually a quick transaction, a short wait, and then…read moreyou taste the beverage...that's it. I stopped off at the outlets last weekend to check out the Coach store and decided to check out the food court to see if anything could cure my hunger. The food selections were not really doing it for me but a smoothie did and I figured it was a good way to curve my hunger for bit. Bobba had a pretty large selection of bubble teas, shakes, smoothies, and even offers wraps and salads. I ended up ordering a chocolate banana smoothie and it lived up to the hype I built 4 minutes prior in my head. The smoothie was mixed well, smooth, and tasted really good. Is this place a revolutionary for smoothies? No, but Bobba does it right and this place is definitely a good way to get you through a trip to the outlets.

Lots of drink choices such as freezes, smoothies ($4.25), milkshake ($5.75), bubble teas ($3.95) you can add boba or popping boba. There is a drink menu not listed on the boards but by the register that has hot ovaltine and hot teas, etc. They also sell sweet and savory crepes, salads with lots of choices for dressing including raspberry vinaigerette and sriracha mayo, etc., and ice cream. I'm curious about the huckleberry flavor but haven't had a chance to try. Crepes are a good shareable size. Like the Banana nutella crepe. Wait can be awhile esp on holidays and weekends.

PROS: Exceptional black-tea flavor, consistently fresh and perfectly textured boba, extensive…read morecustomization, a large drink menu, quick counter service, easy online ordering, clean surroundings, and tempting pastries and desserts. CONS: I have none! BOTTOM LINE: LuCha serves the best authentic-style brown sugar milk tea I have found anywhere in this region, and I will happily drive more than an hour for it. I should begin with a confession: I am extremely particular about bubble tea. Bubble tea originated in Taiwan, and while the modern universe of boba includes practically every tea, fruit, milk, foam, syrup, and topping imaginable, I have a strong preference for traditional-style milk tea with a bold black-tea foundation. LuCha itself is a Taiwanese tea brand founded around handcrafted drinks, fresh ingredients, and tea culture, and that attention to the tea itself is exactly what keeps bringing me back. My order is always the Ancient Brown Sugar Milk Tea, and after roughly twenty visits, I have barely considered ordering anything else. The tea is robust enough to remain unmistakably tea rather than tasting like sweetened milk. The brown sugar adds warmth and depth without completely swallowing the black-tea flavor. It is rich, smooth, balanced, and, for my palate, very close to perfection. Then there are the boba themselves. Good tapioca pearls should not be rubbery, hard in the center, excessively soft, or dissolving into starch. LuCha consistently lands in that narrow little kingdom between tender and pleasantly chewy. The pearls are served warm, sometimes almost hot, inside the chilled milk tea. That temperature contrast is one of my favorite parts of the drink because it immediately tells me the boba were freshly prepared. Old tapioca pearls have a particular texture and flavor, and once you have encountered them, your mouth remembers. In all my visits, I have never received stale or day-old-tasting boba here. They are consistently soft, warm, fresh, and almost melt as you chew them. That first sip still makes me close my eyes for a moment. I realize this is dramatic but the heart wants what the heart wants. Although I remain fiercely loyal to one drink, the menu is broad. LuCha offers fresh fruit teas, sparkling fruit drinks, tea slushes, cheese-foam teas, fresh-milk drinks, smoothies, coffee, pure brewed teas, and numerous toppings. Depending on the drink, guests can customize elements such as sweetness, ice level, milk choice, pearls, popping boba, crystal pearls, and cheese foam. There is definitely something for everyone. LuCha also carries a rotating selection of breads, cakes, and small desserts. I have tried several, and they have all been enjoyable. The menu also includes croffles, a croissant-waffle hybrid, with versions such as strawberry and Lotus Biscoff. The one I tried was crisp, sweet, and a very good companion to the tea. Both the Aurora and Stow locations offer online ordering, and the process is easy. LuCha is primarily counter service, and even when there has been a steady stream of customers, I have rarely waited very long. The Aurora location is always clean and has a bright, playful little seating area where you can relax with your drink. The décor, bear breads, plush toys, and customer dog-photo display give it personality without making it feel cluttered. I have tried a great deal of bubble tea throughout Northeast Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, New York and beyond. Many shops produce something enjoyable, but very few make a milk tea that tastes sufficiently of actual tea, and fewer still prepare tapioca pearls this consistently well. LuCha does both. I genuinely drive more than an hour for the Ancient Brown Sugar Milk Tea, and I have done it repeatedly. For anyone who loves authentic-style milk tea with a strong tea base and freshly prepared boba, LuCha should be at the top of the list. Five deeply caffeinated stars.
