Frustrating Staff Communication Issues
My experience at this restaurant was marked by a significant lack of awareness and communication among the teenage staff. Although the food and drinks were made fine, the service was incredibly frustrating. I was the only customer, with three staff members present. The kitchen staff prepared my drink and left it on the counter without informing the front staff. Consequently, I watched my fully prepared drink sitting just out of reach. After several minutes of waiting and staring at my drink, the front staff went to the back, completely ignoring the ready order. I had to call out to the staff, who were chatting in the back, to ask them to retrieve my drink. It's certainly not the responsibility of a single customer to coordinate three employees.

Great Food and a Nice Surprise!
My experience at this restaurant was great! I placed a large pickup order, and I was pleasantly surprised when they didn't put ice in my drinks until I arrived. This was a nice touch that I've never experienced at any other boba shop before. The food is also always really good 😋.

Mighty Boba with Friendly Service
My experience at this tiny but mighty boba store was enjoyable! ⭐️ I visited on a hot day and ordered the mung bean latte with agar boba and grass jelly. Unfortunately, by 6: 40 pm, they had run out of regular boba, so I opted for the agar boba, which are translucent, slightly smaller, and harder balls. I believe there's a free size-up offer on Thursdays. The service was friendly, and they offer many interesting drink options, food, and even cool merchandise. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to friends!

Surprisingly Good Mung Bean Latte
I don't even like mung beans, but the mung bean latte was really good! I admit it was very slightly pricey, but not exorbitantly so.

Expensive Oolong, No Bathroom
My experience involved purchasing a small golden oolong iced with boba for $6. 85 before tip. I questioned why this drink was more expensive than a 3rd wave latte. The establishment is a tiny spot on Mission St, leading me to believe rent shouldn't be a significant cost factor. Furthermore, they do not even have a bathroom available for customer use. 👎

Fantastic Drinks and Great Service!
My experience at the restaurant was wonderful. The employees were always kind, and there usually wasn't a lot of traffic. The drinks were genuinely fantastic, tasting fresh and like there was actual tea in them. I always look forward to coming by and will again!

Menu Pricing and Ice Policy Concerns
My experience at this restaurant was marked by a couple of specific concerns. Firstly, I was unhappy about being charged for no ice. I simply wanted to prevent my tea from being watered down, not to add extra tea. Secondly, I would appreciate it if all prices were clearly listed on the menu. This would help in understanding the costs associated with the items. I hope these points can be addressed for a better customer experience.

Good experience, want to try more flavors
My experience at the restaurant was good. I would go back to try another flavor or two and be a bit more prepared. The price range indicated $$$ suggests it's on the pricier side.

Disappointing Boba Experience
I tried the HK milk tea, which was just okay. However, the boba was ROCK HARD! I was excited to try a local/neighborhood boba cafe, but I was very disappointed. This establishment is strictly takeout only as there's no table or seating available.
