This place is very cute. It's nicely decorated, perfect for photo ops. It's also very spacious and has some seating. It's a good spot to hang out with friends or do work/study. There's a self-ordering kiosk located right by the entrance. I ordered the Creme Brulee Boba Drink with less ice and at 50% sweetness. Overall, the drink was decent. The boba itself was warm, soft, and chewy - 5/5. Even at half sweet, it was still decently sweet. I probably could've gone down to 25%. Most of sweetness came from the creme brulee, I think. If you're craving a sweet and creamy drink, this would be perfect. Service was quick. My drink was done a couple minutes after I ordered.

Ordered mango sago. The mango was so sour!

Got the taro and Oreo snowballs. I wanted to try mango but they were sold out. It was $26 for the 6 of them. A bit on the high end. I'm a huge mochi lover so was so excited to try these. Texture and cream is good. However I found the flavors to be a bit underwhelming. I wanted more from the taro. Looks super cute tho. Mochi is a good texture. The inside of the place is very esthetic too! I'd recommend to try it out!

Has one of the cutest interior with the best mochi and rose lychee drink that you cannot find at any other boba shop. Such an amazing experience.

ToTEAlly in love with desserts like these. Not too sweet, packed with flavors, unique tastes, and bonus is that the place is so cute. .:: Sweets ::. Mochi Bread Pudding $8.99: def not what I expected. The middle was solid pudding within an almost choux like thin mochi "bread" encrusting it. Some reason was expecting a more thick cream like beard papas. Nonethless still good. Lychee Rose Crepe Cake $8.99: Definitely tasted the lychee and rose but not too sweet either. I think this is light, fluffy creamy delicate goodness. Mango Snowball $11.99: reminds me of the chinese pillow dessert. Very mochi on the outside, inside cream, and mango bits. Lychee Rose Green Tea $6.75: I thought it was not bad, I added in aloe vera. Also very light Dragon Fruit Yakult $5.99: My friend seemed to like her drink. I think yakult anything usually taste good. She also added it wasnt too sweet either. .:: Service / Ambiance / Parking ::. Self order at kiosk near entrance or go to the cashier to order. Items came pretty quickly. Cute interior with a whole flower + green leaf wall. The seating area was decorated with flowers as well. There was a heart shape of "i love you" in different languages which was cool. Parking wasnt too bad on the weekend. I found street parking around the corner of the spot in residential area.

Came here after lunch at Pakwan with friends for dessert. We ordered at the kiosk and the desserts came almost immediately. I got a matcha with crème brûlée and desserts. Got the matcha drink with 75% sweetness. We also ordered the taro snow mochi and cream pudding in bread. The desserts are delicious and very fulfilling. Will definitely return to try more desserts.

Cute boba shop with tasty drinks and snacks. The pudding in tiny mochi bread bowls is a delightfully novel texture experience and also delicious. I was skeptical if Ocean Ave needed another boba joint, but I'm definitely gonna come here again.

I’ve never been to a physical store, but the takeout I ordered was quite delicious, especially the Bree Pearl Fresh Milk.

The spot is cute: there's lots of seating for studying or hanging out. There's a self ordering kiosk that takes card by the door. There's a printed menu at the counter and brochures as well which may be easier on the eyes if you like traditional menus Total was $55 for 3 drinks and 3 desserts. A little pricy. 7.25 Grape lychee aloe green tea+aloe: the tea was a little strong. Might have been an over steeped batch of tea 7.25 Avocado mango sago- this was good and my friend said it tasted like a real avocado 8 Strawberry sago with strawberry hearts: this was my favorite out of these. Everyone who tried it said it was good and tasted like real fruit.

Love how they had so many options to choose from that honestly it was pretty overwhelming. We got their matcha matcha lover, mango passion fruit, ocean secret fresh milk with lychee jelly and creme brulee boba drinks. All were so good but our favs was the ocean secret and the mango passion fruit. We also got some desserts to try. We got the mochi bread pudding and mango mochi. Both were so delicious but we loved the mochi bread pudding the most just because it is so unique! The outside was a mochi pastry texture and the inside was like a custard. Would highly recommend trying it out

My boyfriend and I decided to come here while our dog was at the vet's. This place is super clean and service is really nice. We decided to order a few drinks and some snacks. We got the ocean coconut drink, the mango sago drink, crispy mochi bread pudding, strawberry snowball, and the New Orleans chicken wings. Super obsessed with the crispy mochi bread pudding! The breads outside is crispy but has has a mochi texture! The milk pudding part is super refreshing! I honestly should have bought more of those to bring back home! The strawberry snowball tasted super fresh! The fruit inside and the mochi surrounding was very tasty. Overall had a a great experience and will return

7/10 - Rose Milk Tea with brown sugar boba. 7/10 - Thai Milk Tea with brown sugar boba. The milk tea was satisfactory, with a strong tea flavor and authentic taste. 50% sweet was a good sweetness level for me. The boba consistency is also good. Overall I was happy with both of the drinks and enjoyed them. The drinks took over 20 minutes to prepare, though they were ordered ahead in the app, which was disappointing. I received no apology for the wait time. The cashier had poor customer service skills; he didn't greet or thank me, and could have been much friendlier to interact with. I wouldn't come here again given the poor service and long wait time.

This place is really close to the vet that I take my dog to so we stumbled into this boba shop. Inside is really nice and clean. My girlfriend and I each got a drink and then some snacks. She got the ocean coconut milk drink and I got the mango sago. I think next time I would opt for 50% sweetness because they give really generous portions of toppings which can be sweet. For snacks we got snowball strawberry. the crispy custard milk bun, and some New Orleans chicken wings. We really liked the crispy custard milk buns. Loved that the bun was mochi like and the inside was yummy. The snowball tasted fresh but wish it had more fruit flavor inside. Overall this is a really great boba spot. I will definitely be coming back
