Taro drink with taro paste and taro balls
"We got a custom green tea with mousse and boba. And then we ordered a taro drink with taro paste, taro balls. The drinks were so delicious and we loved it so much. Definitely try the taro balls, I liked it more than the boba balls!!"
Classic Milk Tea
"The person taking our order offered us a sample of the basic milk tea (tasted great, reminded me of cereal milk.) He then asked us if we wanted an explanation or not, so I said yes. He gave us a run down of the menu, and went the extra step to then offer to let us smell the teas and sample a topping."
