"I'm from Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley which means I've had all the best boba on this planet. This place had milk tea better than most I have ever had. Made with real tea no powdered tea bull** and it shows. A rich malty flavor, and the boba itself rivals Coco, TenRen, perfect softness not hard warm and juicy and heavenly."
