Most Popular Items

Pu-Erh Milk Tea
"I can't pronounce the tea but I got PU-ERH MILK TEA, the tea has different taste on it and it was really good. I wish they put the description at the bottom of each tea that we are not familiar with. The boba is soft and chewy, they cooked it perfectly!"
Brown Sugar Boba
"I ordered the Brown Sugar Boba with black boba and coconut lychee - half sugar and half ice. The sweetness was perfect. The boba were perfectly cooked: soft without being mushy. This shop knows what they are doing."
Taro Milk Tea with Boba
"Went here for the first time, absolutely LOVED the taro milk tea with boba. It tastes so much better than the majority of other boba tea places out there, not too sweet, and the boba was actually made correctly and not hard in the middle."
