SERVICE: The service is what distinguishes this boba place from all other places. The cashier (I’m sorry, I don’t remember your name, but I love your ear piercings!) was extremely friendly and upbeat. She offered to customize and fix our drink if it wasn’t to our taste. DRINK: The drink was DELICIOUS! I ordered the “Fruitea Pebbles” drink, an enticing mixture of earl gray milk tea and strawberry syrup. I enjoyed it at 100% sweetness with soft, warm and fresh boba. It truly tasted like leftover milk from a bowl of fruity pebbles. ATMOSPHERE: Very small shop directly adjacent to a Korean bakery. There was surprisingly lots of seating (a bar with 4-5 seats plus two or three tables) for such a small shop. It was very clean. PRICES: The prices were surprisingly reasonable, especially if you check-in on Yelp and get a free topping! I believe I paid $3.75 for my boba, which, these days, is insanely cheap for this level of quality. PARKING: Tira is located in a plaza with plentiful parking. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and wish I didn’t live so far from Garden Grove!

Around the World Cafe – Menu with Prices – 5110 Park Rd 1-K, Charlotte

We stopped by this little shop for some boba tea and was pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of both the teas and ice creams. We ordered 2 Thai Milk Teas with Boba, Strawberry Milk with Boba, Milk Tea with Boba, and Hazel Nana ice cream. The Thai Milk Tea was super refreshing and the Strawberry Milk reminded me is my new favorite drink! I wish they served something similar at boba chains that are closer to me since this cafe is more local and probably isn’t a chain. The Milk Tea was also very delicious. The Hazel Nana ice cream was spectacular!! It was the best ice cream I’ve had in a while and it’s been a few days and I’m still thinking about it. It’s the best banana hazelnut flavored ice cream I’ve had in a while. Our server was also super nice and friendly while explaining menu items. The only minor complaint I have is that some of the drink menu items don’t have prices on them but their menu is written with chalk so I’m sure they could easily add the prices. Most drinks are between $3-$5 depending on the size and the drink (the pricing is similar to Starbucks). If I’m ever in the area I’m definitely stopping by again!

RareTea Berkeley Menu with Prices 2440 Bancroft Way, Berkeley

Very disappointed. Wasted money, calories, time. It is no secret, I love boba and I try my best to sample new places so I can yelp about them too!!We wanted to try a new place in Berkley and saw high stars and lots of reviews for this place so thought of giving it a go. The location has limited parking options and is best to walk to it ( from the Main Street ) or park far and walk. It is a small place which looked very make shift for some reason. The menu is limited and has been categorised well actually for ease of ordering. We got the Taro boba tea (cold) and the Coffee milk tea with boba ( hot). Both orders costs $9.00 making this not a cheap place and very comparable to other boba places. The hot drink was not hot !! Yes , it was maybe luke warm. I brought that to the attention of the staff and they microwaved it in front me. Still not hot. The flavour was so weak and the tea tasted more like water less like milk. The only good thing was the boba which by itself was actually good. The drink overall was not good 3/10. The Taro drink was better than the hot one but also lacked good flavour and was very watered down. 4/10. The boba itself had great texture but the drink diminished the boba completely. We left very unhappy and I unfortunately would not recommend this to anyone.

Kung Fu Tea – Menu with Prices – 2067 N Central Expy Suite 100, Richardson

Kung Fu Tea One of my favorite Boba chains and has locations all over the US. My favorite drinks from KFT are the milk teas. The Milk Teas at KFT are my favorite because of how creamy and rich the milk tea is compared to other Boba shop chains. The inside of the place is clean and looks nice but tables can be dirty like any other boba shop. The staff can make common mistakes just like any other boba shops. Another thing is their attention to your sugar preference. Sometimes I can order 50% sweetness but it’s still really sweet at KFT. This goes for every single boba shop out their is their attention to your sugar preference that you order. The same thing applies when you ask for less ice at KFT and all boba shops can give you normal ice amount. I’ve been to many boba chains and my favorite boba chain is ShareTea for its generous serving of boba and you get a larger size for the same price as a small size at KFT. The tea creaminess of the milk tea at ShareTea is more subtle then KFT. So it’s all a matter of your preference if you want more tea and stronger tea flavor go to ShareTea if you like your tea creamy but get less tea go to Kung Fu Tea. Another thing I don’t like about KFT is that they use a lot of powder flavoring for fruit drinks like taro. My favorite drink at KFT is oolong milk tea with boba because it’s creamy and rich flavor and a nutty taste. Drinks I recommend ordering are the Matcha red bean slush, oolong milk tea, and Kung fu tea. KFT also has an app to earn rewards and points every time you buy.

Short N Sweet Tapioca Tea – Menu with Prices – 35 SE Everett Mall Way # 10, Everett

This is probably one of my favorite stops for a sweet drink in Everett. The Jasmine Milk Tea with boba and (brown sugar) crystal jelly is so delicious I always finish it before I even make it home. All of the standard milk teas I’ve tried here have been delicious and the Super Krazy Drink is surprisingly good too! The Super Krazy Drink is actually a nice way to sample all of the boba, jelly, and pudding flavors all at once and see what you like best. I wouldn’t order it often but it was definitely worth a try. The sandwiches are also very good and I’m looking forward to trying their ice cream soon. The parking can be a little iffy as the lot is small but there’s usually a space or two open. Just be prepared for a little wait. Even if there’s only a couple of orders ahead of you, it’s going to be around 10-15 minutes while they prepare your drinks. Everyone is very personable and accommodating, it just seems like it takes a while to prep and seal your drink in the machine.

Popping Avenue Boba Tea – Menu with Prices – 5091 N Fresno St #124, Fresno

I’ve been here enough to redeem my free drink, so I guess it means I’m overdue for a review. I originally saw this place on Yelp under new businesses and made a note to try it. I was a little surprised it was located so close to another boba place, i-Tea, but it’s not a big deal. The more boba places the better in my opinion. The location is actually quite good because the lot isn’t overly crowded and there’s ample parking. Inside is clean, bright and the classic Instagram aesthetic. They have a good spot for selfies in the front with their lighted logo inside of a foliage background if you’re into that sort of thing. They have a good sized drink menu and topping selection to choose from. Like i-Tea, I love that you can select your sweetness and ice levels. Sometimes drinks are overly sweetened. I’ve gotten all of my drinks here at 25%, and they never lack sweetness, which makes me wonder what 100% would taste like. My boyfriend likes to get his drinks with no sugar added. They have a rewards program for a free drink with every 10 drinks purchased. The only con is you have to download an app, Clover, but if you come here enough it’s worth it. Digital rewards are a bit nicer too since you’ll never forget a stamp card, or they’ll never run out of them like 1920 Tea always does. Drink prices are reasonable in my opinion and if you come Monday-Thursday, 4-8pm, drinks are all 25% off (which is when I always go). So far my favorite drinks are the Black Tiger Boba Fresh Milk, 3 Sisters Milk Tea and Matcha-Cha. The Black Tiger is pretty sweet and has flan pieces in it so it’s pretty much a dessert. I’ve gotten it twice at 25% sweetness so I’d definitely recommend that unless you want a sugar high with 100%. Their food looks pretty good from what I’ve seen in pictures and what others have ordered, but I haven’t tried any of it. The overall space is nice and not congested with a good amount of seating and free board games to pick and choose from if you want to stay and hang out. Nothing in particular really jumps out at me about this place, but I do enjoy it and will continue to come here unless some place better comes along.

Pokébowl Station – Menu with Prices – 1800 W University Ave, Gainesville

One bowl was merely an OK Bowl Another was gross, a No Way Bowl But when down in Gainesville My sharp hunger pains will Keep bringing me back to Pokebowl! It’s yummy, for your information And the drinks provide perfect hydration Their Boba is perfect Like L’Oreal, it’s Worth It So get straight down to Pokebowl Station! My notes said: Amazing Boba shop with some of the best Boba in town, the BSMT was insane and she made it off menu for me exactly how I wanted it – perfect. Within walking distance of a Boba shop owned by friends of mine is this larger, roomier, more cozy and just-as-delicious boba palace, which also has excellent Poke, and prices are very reasonable for the droves of college students that come by and near here (and the smart ones come in). I also absolutely love the decor here. It’s huge with lots of cozy corners and lots of cute stuff. They have some of the friendliest service in town and some really nice friendly and cute customers and some of the best products in a town that is somewhat lacking good Boba products (although not by Florida standards, by which it’s a pretty decent Boba town). So this is not only five stars but one of my top recommendations for the whole town. I’ll definitely bring the sexy dominatrix girl here and I’ll definitely be back whenever in Gainesville, or even when in Lossesville. Florida, despite my frustration Has the worst Boba in the nation But Gainesville has a few That I will return to And one of those is Pokebowl Station!

Phi Coffee & Tea – Menu with Prices – 3212 N Jupiter Rd Ste 115, Garland

This isn’t your standard boba shop. This is definitely much more of a coffee shop type place than somewhere to get your milk tea craving satisfied – actually, you can’t even get milk tea here. Which I thought was interesting. I asked the employee what he suggested getting since I had never been there before but still wanted to try something. He told me the most popular drink was the Thai green tea, which sounded pretty tasty since I’m a huge fan of matcha! He definitely did not steer me wrong – I really enjoyed the drink. If you’re a fan of Thai tea and matcha, this is the drink for you. It’s milky like Thai tea, semi-sweet, and filled with matcha flavor goodness. I would have given this place 4 stars had the boba been better made. It was extremely bland and way too chewy. I like my boba to be in between the consistency of soft and chewy, but unfortunately, I was chewing for too long on these little balls. There was also zero flavor, so if you just got a mouthful of boba and no tea, you’re stuck just chewing on flavorless jelly balls. It was odd. The manager also needs to staff their employees better because there was only one visible employee making all the drinks and I saw one employee in the back probably working on food orders. The poor guy was clearly overwhelmed with all the orders coming in so please cut your employees some slack and give them as much help as needed for the demand!

Chatime Fullerton – Menu with Prices – 410 E Chapman Ave Suite B, Fullerton

Wow! I am impressed! I had heard of this place once before and I remember ordering a boba here while I was in Sydney a year ago. I was excited to find out that another one opened up that was a lot closer than the other location. (The one in Rowland Heights is pretty far from where I live) I will say one thing though: it was pretty complicated how to get into the parking lot and we ended up parking at a neighborhood and walking to the place. I understand though that the location, being next to homes and a university, would make it harder to make an easy entrance to the parking lot. Anyways, I ordered the taro milk tea with cheese foam and boba and I really liked the cups they put the drink in! Similar to Jie Boba or BobaTEAque. My first sip was very tasty, but I made the terrible mistake of getting cheese foam with the taro. I decided to mix it up and it tasted pretty horrible after that. I do not recommend getting the taro milk tea with cheese foam… The drink wasn’t too sweet and the boba was just right. Not too overcooked (not too soft), and not too undercooked (not too hard). Next time, I will be sure to order any of the drinks WITHOUT cheese foam. But overall, the drink was great at the start, the service was great, and the employees were nice.

Feng Cha Teahouse – Menu with Prices – 2701 Custer Pkwy, Richardson

My current favorite place for boba in DFW right now. The cafe is really cute and lets in a lot of natural light. It seems like a great place to read, study, or meet up with friends as there is quite a bit of space with plenty of seating and tables. Feng Cha has some of the most unique boba drinks in DFW that I’ve seen so far, and a variety of milk foam caps you can add on (taro, cheese foam, sea salt, matcha, etc), so Feng Cha gets major points for that! You can also adjust the sweetness of your drink here, which is a must for me in a boba shop. I enjoyed my rose oolong with the addition of matcha milk foam (70% sweet). This combo went pretty well together and I thought the matcha tasted pretty good. I tried it with taro milk foam once as well and this was not my favorite combination. I thought the taro was on the sweeter side, which was a negative for me. I’ve also tried the dirty boba (70% sweet), which was pretty delicious at first. It has cheese milk foam and brown sugar on top. After a while though I realized I couldn’t finish it. It is super rich, creamy, and sweet. If you want something more decadent, this might be the drink for you! We also tried the afternoon tea matcha cake. Unfortunately, it was just alright. It looked very pretty though. It was disappointing that the matcha milk foam was just thrown over some basic pound cake. I think it would be a hit if they introduced the first Japanese souffle pancakes in DFW and then they can throw the milk foam over that. It seems like that’s getting pretty popular right now. Overall, I can’t wait to try more drinks and milk foam combinations! There is also a Feng Cha in Carrollton now, which is closer to me! YAY! Summary- Favorite Drink: rose oolong with matcha milk foam cap (70% sweet) Business tip/gold mine idea: Ditch the pound cake and introduce the first Japanese Souffle pancakes in DFW on your menu, so you can throw milk foam on top of that!!

Proscenium Cafe & Market Menu with Prices 1170 Peachtree St NE # 150, Atlanta

Tucked in the corner on the first floor of the proscenium office building. Very clean and surprisingly spacious. Open seating and bright natural light surrounds the cafe. Some very lovely Korean ladies seem to run the place and are so courteous to all customers. I especially love that they have random Korean snacks on the counter. Prices are very reasonable. I picked up breakfast here before heading to meetings. A bowl of oatmeal (came with brown sugar and raisins), can of la croix, hot tea, and a chobani yogurt ran me $7. That’s pretty reasonable given anything at the hotel would’ve been well over $15 and nowhere near as healthy. Lunch time seems to be popular as well where they offer a special of the day (like bibimbop or udon). Plus there’s a build your own salad bar (many items to select from) and a pay-per-weight hot food bar. Pretty impressed for an office building cafe to have so many selections. I’d gladly come back again and grab another meal. Hopefully lunch next time.

Korean Garden Restaurant – Menu with Prices – 12773 E 41st, Tulsa

This place used to be one of my favorite Korean restaurants in Tulsa. I don’t know what has gone wrong but sadly the quality has declined recently. They used to have great service, good food, and reasonable prices. At our last visit the service was terrible, the food selection on their menu has decreased with some of the best menu options no longer available, and the prices have increased. There is a Korean grocery store next door which is nice when you need to stock up on some asian staples and what not. I brought my parents here and after being seated and looking at the menu we actually ended up not ordering anything and leaving to go to a different Korean restaurant close by. The interior is nice and clean and the parking is ample but these other shortcomings make this place a difficult recommend. It would do in a pinch I suppose if you came for their lunch specials but otherwise there are better Korean options a block or two away.

Bizen Beer Bar Menu with Prices 155 W Center Street Promenade, Anaheim

So I discovered this bakery on Yelp while looking for a place to study about a month ago and have been back almost EVERY other day since! It’s safe to say this is my all-time favorite place to eat at the moment due to their delicious products, great atmosphere and convenient parking options. Their breads are baked using Hokkaido flour, and are constantly in rotation with a wide variety of options to choose from. My all-time favorites are their butter & salt roll, mentaiko french, oyaki kinpira and milk cream. I most recently also bought a loaf of their sliced breads to go and was impressed with the thick, fluffy toast I was able to enjoy the next morning from the comfort of my own home. As for drinks, I enjoy their hot lattes with whole milk and iced matcha lattes with whole milk. For the matcha latte, you have the option of ordering it sweetened or unsweetened but I usually get mine unsweetened. It is a great addition to the milk cream for a delicious mid-day treat! The shop is actually broken up into three different sections, including the bakery, the coffee shop and beer bar. The beer bar actually has its own “Bizen Beer” sign outside the door, but when you walk inside you will notice it has an open walkway that connects to the coffee shop and bakery. I love that there is ample seating in both the Bizen Bar as well as the outdoor deck they have right outside the shops. The deck has ample table seating and most of the tables are shaded by the umbrellas, making for a perfect day outside! There is free parking on the street lining the shops, as well as free 2-hour validated parking available in the lot behind the shop. Just show the cashier your parking ticket when you’re checking out and they’ll provide you with a single validation ticket. Be sure to keep track of the time because its very easy to get comfortable and spend the day here!
