Im a fan of the boba tea here! The teas Ive had have been really flavorful and the boba pearls are some of the better ones than Ive had. The service is typically fast, always friendly, and they have helped me make tea decisions on more than one occasion! This is an easy decision stop for me to make when a boba craving kicks in.
Very depress, I thought it would surprise me since it was pretty popular milk tea store in the city , I just ordered a milk foam green tea on Uber eat , after drinking it , I have no idea where’s the green tea taste, I feel like I’m just drinking sweet ice water with boba, very depress about this.
Update on my review: Will drop to 4 Star since:I requested a LESS ICE & 30% SUGAR but I saw the staff still puts so many ICE in the Milk Tea and does not care if I requested a Less Ice or not.Also It may not be them but my family got a whole Bad Night - Insomnia after drinking their Milk Tea, possible they added more caffeine or something is not right with the mix of this Milk Tea and along one of our medicines that day. This is the only drink we did bought during that day and gives my whole family an insomnia night with severe palpitations. Hopefully this Milk Tea is not related to it.

2022-07-15So happy they’re here in Albany! Our drinks were yummy! I love the milk foam black coffee, my go to drink. A lot of boba shops places, my drink always end up tasting like a sweet creamy drink with no coffee taste. Here it actually Still has the Coffee taste (you can chose your level of sweetness) & tad very faint salty taste to it from the milk foam. Our taro milk tea was also great.The strawberry milk one, next time we have to do less sweet vs how it comes regularly, in my opinion i thought it was on the sweeter side. Definitely coming back.

2022-05-10This is a staple chain bubble tea joint that I plan to visit on my best and worst days. Havent had a bad drink yet. Great selection, good customization, staff service was delightful. I hope this place never closes down. Looks like itll open a sushi counter soon.

2022-07-08I was so excited to learn this location opened in the Albany area. So far Ive tried the dirty brown sugar milk tea and the creme brulee strawberry latte. Cant wait for my next visit. Im very interested in the lychee oolong and the wintermelon.

2022-05-14Didn’t think to take a picture before, but this is some of the best green tea I have ever had. Perfectly sweet, just wish they had the star jelly. Definitely coming back!

2022-06-20Warning: Don’t come here to do work on a laptop. There are no charging ports in the seating area. I appreciate they can tailor the tea’s to your liking with sugar. They have a very good variety and the cheese topping is wonderful.

2022-07-09To keep it brief, the bubble tea is exquisite, a bit pricey but worth it bc you wont find bubble tea this unique and this good in this area BUT the sushi is not worth it. Its overpriced and its only a 6 piece roll with barely any rice. Theyre tiny. You can get better sushi for a better deal in this area. Will always come back for the drinks though!

2022-06-21FINALLY. A legit boba spot in Albany! I shaved off a star because 1) They dont offer everything that most of their other locations have, such as aloe jelly. I love aloe jelly. Herbal jelly is great though, and youre able to control the ice and sugar level.
