Packaged so well! The milk is contained in a small bag so it wont make the other toppings soggy after certain times. Good flavor too! Will def come back 😊😊

The bubble waffle is good. If the store has different combo meal, it will be great.

You have the option of how much sugar you want on your beverage and a must for my sugar intake. Cozy place and sign on street help point the right direction.

Probably one of the worst boba tea I have ever had. It tastes like grass.
