Fun spot with with some unique options. Mix and match boba flavors to create a custom concoction. They have some great food and some interesting ice cream treats. It’s small inside, so I wouldn’t plan on eating there.

Im a boba gal and love to discover new boba places And this place is probably the most unique boba place I've been too! The fact that it's in a mini plaza is so cute and honostly the vibe and aesthetic is to die for For boba I always hope I don't run into a unfortunate drink where the tapioca just isn't right, but here? It's PERFECT They even display the look of the boba you want to add and i ADORE THAT. I ordered the Taro Milk TEA and it did not disappoint! My sister got the Taro Milk tea with brown sugar and the combo was delicious Thank you so much for the sweet staff I loved those girls and how sweet they were Ill definitely be coming back (AND ITS CHEAP)

Best Boba I’ve had in Grand Rapids, their prices are competitive and a bargain. $5 for boba of this quality and freshness is really good, the tapioca balls we’re still warm from being freshly made, this place needs more business. It’s tucked in the back of the strip mall area but the Boba is top notch.

This little shop is right around the corner from Rockwell Republic (or on the same block as Rumours) so if you’re ever in the neighbourhood, I really recommend stopping by. They make some of the best Milk-Tea I’ve ever had and their service is fantastic. We paid six dollars per drink—which is definitely a reasonable price considering how many choices they have available. They have non-dairy options, choose-two-flavour fruit smoothies, teas, a good variety of different flavoured boba & jellies. We ordered (from left to right): a mango-orange smoothie with mango jellies, a brown sugar milk tea with tapioca pearls and a strawberry-banana smoothie with litchi popping pearls—which all tasted fantastic—and they were all out and ready to go within five minutes. I love this place.

It was my first time here and my little sisters first time ever trying boba tea! We got 3 teas, a mango smoothie w/ strawberry flavored boba bubbles, strawberry smoothie with reg tapioca boba so my sister could try both and i got the green tea w/ brown sugar boba. It was very yummy . They also have some cool snacks and treats to buy too. It took a lil time to make but it felt like it was worth it because she made it fresh for us. We will definitely be back for more!

A hidden gem! This place is located in a small strip on the side of the Asian market. It's very easily looked over, but I'm grateful we found it! The strip itself is very gray-toned, but they make an effort to liven it up. They have a cute and cozy setup if you want to sit and eat. (No pictures of the food, because we ate it too quickly. I'll update it with food pictures next time!) Their toasted banh mi is the best and freshest I've tasted in the Grand Rapids area. It's got just the right amount of dry to wet ratio. Their milk teas are also delicious! Their tapioca pearls are always perfectly cooked and bouncy. Every time we come to Grand Rapids, we HAVE to come here!
