Super cute store with lots of drink choices including milk alternatives which I don’t always see at boba places. Imported snacks, drinks, and candies plus some stuffed animals and merch. Sooo cute and delicious!

I did enjoy the drinks here and the atmosphere is cool/different. They have awesome knickknacks but after noticing their flag preference displayed in the window and a few articles laying out that I felt were inappropriate for children to see, we probably won't be coming back.

I come to this location quite regularly and I am a big fan of it.The spot may be tiny, but it has been perfectly curated to fit the aesthetic that the shop aims for.I was not a huge fan of boba drinks before coming here, but this place is awesome.The boba pearls are great, they never feel old or too slimy, or even over cooked.The staff is very friendly and the place is always clean.I don't have any complaints of this establishment, but I have noticed there are often new employees there which may suggest a high turnover rate? But that is just speculation.

UPDATE: I’m still not coming back here. Your boba tea doesn’t taste like it should, period. You can say anything you want about how you have changed it up and how you’re different than other shops. I’ve been to other boba shops that use real sugar and honey, and that have multiple milk options. This is exactly my point: I’ve been all over and your boba is lacking in flavor. If you want to do it different than anywhere else, you should advertise it as such. It is really frustrating as an Asian to see this happening when I am looking for authentic. Plus you way overprice your imported snack items. There are many websites you can get these items for a lot cheaper. If you want a real boba tea, I would still not recommend this place, especially if you haven’t had it before.**Honestly, their boba needs a lot of work. Completely tasteless every time we go, which it shouldn’t be. When I ask for boba, they correct me and say it’s “tapioca.” Bōbá is the Chinese and Taiwanese name for the tapioca pearls. :(The textures of the tapioca are never consistent (sometimes they’re cooked too much or too little.) Also, If you aren’t going to soak the boba in brown sugar syrup, which is what ALL bubble/boba tea shops do, then you have to advertise that they will be tasteless.I hope you can see this and please retrain your staff correctly, because your boba is not on point and hasn’t been for a long time. Best of luck to you guys, but we will keep going to F&F poke bowl. They at least know what they’re doing there.

Best place in Erie to find sweet and savory Asian snacks. Great bubble tea and other drinks, cute merch, and a fun, inclusive atmosphere. This joint is an Erie treasure, facts.

Had a horrible experience here when I visited a few Sundays ago with my family. The girls were so excited to try the boba for the first time and had their experience RUINED. When we entered, there was a line to the door and no room to wander and look at their items. My youngest is claustrophobic and experienced a lot of anxiety due to the environment and lack of control of the flow of customers. They have an array of snacks on shelves, but while we were trying to look through them, we noticed multiple that were expired and the staff didn't seem to care. My daughter's were very disappointed. When ordered, the menu was convoluted and confusing, and the woman who took my order (who I later learned was the manager) was disrespectful. She made my daughter feel stupid for her questions about the drinks and seemed disinterested in explaining the create your own system. They also had multiple items unavailable to our frustration. When my daughter got her drink it was way too sweet but she was scared to ask it to be remade due to the cashier's disrespect. my other daughter purchased a boba keychain and it broke immediately after we got to the car. That week when I was browsing for Christmas presents I also noticed that their merchandise is sold for much less online. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. they are buying items online and selling them at a 250% profit AT LEAST. Sure explains the quality. Your better off buying your Christmas presents online or somewhere else.

My daughter's and I love Andora's (if we're going downtown, it's a MUST), but the last 2x we've gone, I've been ripped off by the same unfriendly cashier by atleast $10. Not sure if she's self-tipping or just ringing up orders wrong, but 2 small + 1 large bubble teas doesn't = $32. I was not given a receipt or total, so once again am finding on my bank statement that this same kid overcharged me for the 2nd time in 2 months.Andora's is a 5 star establishment and gem in Erie, but the owners need to watch + better train their newer hires.

All three of us enjoyed the boba tea. The lady who made them was very kind! My daughter-in-law has been there multiple times.
