We ordered the jasmine green milk tea, milk tea and the passion fruit and peach green tea.  I liked the tea here.  All our drinks were really good.  I also liked that this was a drive-thru and the service was really fast.  The only knock on this place was the boba itself.  Some of it was soft and squishy, but some of it was also hard.  Maybe we just came on an off day.  But overall I thought it was good.

I initially gave 3 stars because our service on one day was rude -- handed her some bills of cash and she rudely said we were short of the amount with a condescending tone and attitude. Asked her politely to recount and she just rolled her eyes, but then realized she made a mistake, and didn't even apologize or acknowledge us afterwards.  

However, I've been here many times in previous years and I've thoroughly enjoyed the drinks and service beforehand. Updating review to 4 stars to reflect this!

Anyways, drinks are always delicious! I recommend getting the Jasmine Tea with Cheese Foam. The tea is really well made-- perfectly sweet and very flavorful. The cheese foam is pretty good too, just a little bit too sweet for my taste. I love the drive-through aspect!

I've lost count of how many times I've driven by this spot but I finally got to try it! There's usually a line at night too.

We got the jasmine green milk tea with boba and the peach passion fruit green tea. Both were delicious and the boba consistency was perfection. I'm so glad we opted to get the large too for the green milk tea cause it was so so good. I was lowkey actually cracking popcorn chicken and holy wowwww, I'm a fan! They serve it with a side of cheese foam and it's sweetness was the perfect compliment to the savory and spiciness of the seasoning of the popcorn chicken.

Service was pretty quick, I came by in the early afternoon I think on a Sunday and was in and out pretty quickly.

Whenever we visit LA we have to stop by this place for the mango yogurt with extra thickness and the Hokkaido milk tea. It's the way they make it here! I'm not sure what MAGICAL goodness they put into the drinks here but, please continue to do it...

I love coming here around 9pm or after dinner. Whenever I drink the mango yogurt after dinner time, I can really LET IT GO in the morning! Hehe...

I highly recommend the mango yogurt for people who might have constipation or indigestion. But, that's just the benefit of it. I truly love the flavor and texture of the mango yogurt drink itself.

It's also so RARE to see a drive thru boba place! Wish they would open one of these near Temecula...

Sometimes we'll see cute guys or girls working there. They are all very friendly and welcoming. I really like this business. I hope it continues to grow!

Cheers!!
