New boba place in IV- the classic milk tea was great - we also got a brown sugar boba tea and a Thai tea- everything was good. I'd go back and recommend. You can either self order or at the cashier. No menu anywhere you need to scan a QR code.

I’ve tried many bubble tea shops, with all kinds of fancy flavors and styles, but my favorite is still the good old classic milk tea. The rich, creamy taste of milk tea bursts on my taste buds. If you love a bold and flavorful milk tea, this is one you definitely try it!

The cheese dew smoothies are always sooooo soo good! Mango and Strawberry are our faves (but avocado mango is also delicious). Super cute atmosphere with lots of comfy seating. P.S. same owner of “Meet Up Chinese Cuisine” on Las Positas which is hands down the most delicious and high quality Chinese food we’ve ever had, anywhere. Must try!!!
