I got a watermelon smoothie and a strawberry smoothie both were very refreshing and good on a hot Davis day. The stinky tofu snack was surprisingly tasty and spicy I would recommend it for tofu lovers.

Splitting the difference with this review. Don't get me wrong, I love sugary milk as much as the next person, however, I was hoping for milk-TEA. Instead I got a drink that was basically white. I'd honestly guess it was 1/5 tea and 4/5 milk. It was much too sweet as well.. I couldn't finish bc I got a tummy ache and it was not appetizing. (2 stars) Once had bingsoo and it was pretty good, though. I liked that I could get a smaller sized bingsoo than most places and the texture/flavors/toppings were proportioned well (4 stars). Service: You have to order at a kiosk and the staff barely acknowledge you exist. I'm not really a fan of this level of service, but I guess I get it. I would just ask that signs make that clear, or directing staff to let customers know to order on the kiosks, because one time I was standing in line waiting to order and a couple girls walked right in front of me and placed an order at the kiosk. They must have thought I was waiting for my order but it was really a bummer.

Not going to lie, this place is decent with their teas selection. But I was annoyed and kind of disappointed that the owner(s) didn't train their worker well. I came in today and was standing by one of the ordering kiosk, then all of the sudden I felt a strong swosh against my handbag that I was carrying while I was trying to ordering. I turned around and it was this stubby worker that hit my bag and didn't even said "excuse me", WTH? I even stared straight at her to see if she had realized and acknowledged for what she did. But nope, she kept on pretending like nothing happened. Just super rude! Probably would not recommend this place as we all know how important customer service is and if she is not happy with her job,, she shouldn't be working there.

Came here for the first time today - flawlessly easy experience. I ordered from Muncho - chicken karage and brown sugar boba milk tea for my kid ($15ish total). It was ready for pickup just as it said it would be and parking was simple and easy right in front of the shop. The chicken was super light and tasty - not greasy at all. The boba was spot on! All in all, super pleasant experience and I will make it my new boba spot!

At least $6 for a drink. I guess that's how it is now.Matcha latte w strawberry heart shaped boba. It was actually heart shaped! Although they don't really fit up the straw. Matcha was fine, didn't skimp on it like some places do. The picture oversaturates how it looks.

Their milk tea flavors are the best in town, and their boba is 2nd after mandros! Great location for convenience of stop, and the order online ability is my fave

Excited to try their new selection of sago drinks, so now there are three locations in Davis with sago drinks. When you walk in, you order at the tablets (able to collect points through Muncho), able to still pay in cash at the front counter. More self serve, wasn't greeted when I came in. Went around 8pm, I ordered a mango pomelo sago, original egg puff, and a Oreo ice cream egg puff. The orders took about 20 - 25 minutes, there were two online orders, and two orders before me. Really good value for all the items. As for the items, the Oreo ice cream waffle cone ($10.95), contains scoops of ice cream and sesame paste, the cone also contains ice cream as well, so great if you want a variety of desserts. The ice cream puff is a lot, but egg puffs get soggy unfortunately. As for the mango pomelo sago ($5.50), pretty creamy, but I wished there more pomelo in the drink, definitely would get it again. Egg puffs ($5.60) lacked some flavor compared to other egg puffs I had. Might give it another try.

One of my fav bbtea shops to get drinks and desserts from. Hubby go to is the Thai tea, I love the hulk and the black sesame tornado drink as well (can go wrong with creme brûlée in your drink) They have a Korean dessert that's a shaved of ice that is so delicious and it's called bingsoo. The portions are always so big and generous there I feel. And for the price you're paying you are definitely getting a deal and value here. The other fun dessert here is the different flavours egg waffles they have like green matcha tea with red bean, earl grey, and even black sesame flavour. If you want to step it up you can have it with ice cream and fresh fruit. There's different things for everybody caffeinated and non-caffeinated. They always have so many fun things to try, so check it out.

One of my top 3 boba places in Davis for the following: (1) Flavor is really good, not too sweet and adjustable sweetness levels that match your expectations; (2) Great selection, some more unique flavors and drinks like the purple rice drink (my favorite), their black sesame drink and honeydew smoothies are excellent as well; (3) Great selection of desserts, a great spot for bingsoo (Korean shaved ice dessert) and egg waffles! (4) Great value - generously sized drink portions and better price than a majority of the other

Bingsu is really yummy! I recommend the strawberry. As for the egg waffles, it was fan-freakin-tasticly-tasting. Definitely the star of the show. They also have games and boba! Great chill desert spot.

The only boba place (that I know of) that serves hojicha milk tea! Used to be Old Teahouse, but they're currently closed due to U-Mall construction. Sweetness level and ice level were accurate imo. I did 75% sweet and less ice and it was perfectly semi-sweet. Waited less than 10 mins for my drink and it was quite busy (door dash orders and a group in front of me in line). I've also had their coffee before and was pleasantly surprised! The only con is that their indoor seating is a bit limited compared to other boba places but it's location lends to an "on the go" boba experience. They also have a few tables and board games available. The location is convenient, right off the G/J line and also next to Save Mart, Fire Wings, Taqueria Guadalajara. Plus, the price is competitive! Less than $7 with boba. I pay closer to $8-9 at other places.

The boba teas here are delicious! My daughter loves this place so we usually visit once per month. The Thai Tea with boba is my favorite! It's the basic boba, but still delicious nonetheless. The service is always quick and customer service is great! There's not a lot of room inside, so we usually don't stay- we get our bobas to go. There are tables outside thought and it's pretty spacious. If you're looking for a good boba spot in Davis, I highly recommend this one.

I've stopped by here a few times now and the drinks are always on point, the boba is nice and soft. Not very customer service oriented, they mainly ask you to order at a Kiosk. Very small place, with outdoor seating!
