"Amazing boba tea. They have a variety of flavors. It’s tastes so good. The store is so clean and well maintained. Great time to spend quality time with your partner or friends. Kiosk available to place quick orders. Their service is quick. Parking could be an issue since it’s located in a busy road."

"The best bubble tea in New Haven and this coming from someone who's been tasting bubble teas all around Asia. They keep up with popular drink menus that you can find nowadays in Asia. The drinks were very tasty and not too sweet. Tapioca balls were chewy and perfect. Everything was great."

"TASTE: I never had Pomelo before. It tastes like a lemon and orange had a sweeter fruit together. There was also watermelon in the tea which made it super refreshing. I love that you have the option to add on your personal choice of boba. The peach Fruit tea was just as refreshing and delicious. The lychee jelly gave it a little more of a kick SERVICE: The service was rapid and polite. You also have the option of ordering on a machine. Everything was done in a timely manner. CLEANLINESS: It was super clean and very well organized. AVAILABILITY: There is seating available and it was pretty clear when I arrived. ORDERED/PRICE: ● Pomelo Lemon Fruit Tea (5.95) w/Strawberry Popping Boba (0.75) ● Peach Fruit Tea (5.95) Lychee Jelly (0.75)"

"My boyfriend’s brother brought us here because he knew we loved boba tea, and I’m so glad that he did! I chose the strawberry fresh milk on this visit, and I couldn’t believe how fresh the strawberries were. It had such a great flavor and was like a thinner strawberry milkshake! The Thai and brown sugar milk teas were also great. I saw some really unique flavors on the menu that I want to try next time, like Oreo creme brûlée. The shop was very clean, and the staff was friendly!"
