"This place is a solid 4-stars when it comes to quality, tea, and toppings. However, when you combine everything together, the most I feel comfortable giving them is a 3...and that 's after coming here semi-consistently for a year during their happy hour (now they 're doing bogo). I never paid attention to the importance of a good straw until I 've experienced the eco-friendly straw here. It 's not very eco-friendly if you have to go through several of their straws to finish one drink though...I thought that they would 've switched the straws out by now since even their employees know that the straws break easily. Their BEST drink, imo, is the one with their taro paste. Their taro is veryyy good and fresh. However, it is impossible to drink their taro without having it get stuck in the straw/having the straw break before finishing the drink. I do have my own reusable boba straw, but not everyone does, and sometimes I forget to bring my straw...in which case, I 'd rather just order their other drinks. My friend ended up throwing away her drink after just taking a couple sips because the straws keep breaking (I cried on the inside...poor taro paste and money being wasted). My next favorite drink is the black sesame with rice puff. It has a strong black sesame taste and the rice puff reminded me of lei-cha, which I loved as a kid. Their other drinks are pretty good quality, as you would expect from a reputable boba store. Aka, it 's not worth the $7-8/drink. Do take advantage of their Happy Hour, BOGO, or other discounts, which makes their drink prices competitive with other stores. The drink options feel very limited from the snackpass app for some reason, so I sometimes like to order in person if I 'd like more customization. Btw, I remember liking the boba size (slightly smaller) and the straws from their other locations better, so I guess each location does things differently too."
