UPDATE: As of a week or so ago, they no longer offer their afternoon BOGO here! :'( ORIGINAL REVIEW: Tasty and delicious drinks at a bit of a premium price usually. Come from 1:30-3pm Mon-Thurs for BOGO happy hour, though! It's a popular place so the wait can sometimes be a couple of minutes with just 2-3 workers behind the counter. My go-tos are the Panda Milk Tea (I love my pleasantly chewy jellies and boba pearls!) and/or the Star Jelly Grapefruit Green Tea. I like to get everything with half sugar and half ice. :) I've never tried their creme brulee waffles before, but it smells absolutely heavenly whenever someone else orders one, haha. Chairs and tables have been well-used now and a bit dented and stained. More of a take-to-go place for sure! Luckily, there's plenty of free parking in this spacious shopping lot. :)

Most of the boba tea shop is happy to remake a drink if you are not satisfied with the drink, but this one is not happy to. Also, almost the whole cup of honey tea is transparent, cant see the color of the tea, basically like a cup of ice tea.

The boba there is so good. I got the Earl grey milk tea and strawberry Yogurt smoothie and they were delicious. The mochi waffles were soft, fluffy and delicious.

3.5 stars. One of the worst pearls I've had ever had, and sweeter than it should be for 25% and 50% sweetness. The liquid drinks themselves are tasty though.
