A new bubble tea place in North Richmond. Even though I am not a fan of bubble teas in general as they usually contain so much sugar, I quite liked this place and their bubble tea. It came with generous amounts of the ingredients and was also the least sweet bubble tea I have ever tasted. I also liked their prompt service and nice interior decor of the shop.

Another one of these juice and drink bars that are popping up around inner Melbourne and popular with Asian people. I know why. There is a great range of refreshments that are prepare right in front of you. You can choose how sweet or creamy or juicy you want your drink and it’s made to order. There are three sizes and I’d recommend the large ($6).Shop is trendy and modern. You can drink in the store or takeaway. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly.

Cute new little milk tea shop. Super friendly and helpful staff. Since it's newly open, they're doing buy 1 get 1 free on the weekends in May. I tried their trio milk tea and cream cheese milk tea with 50% sugar. I was pleasantly surprised and how creamy and milky their milk tea was. The cream cheese was tasty. I was however quite surprised that 50% sugar here tasted like 30%. I'll know next time. Definitely will try this place again when I'm in the area.

I feel like the very first review is either someone who is just a hater, or a competitor within the area. The grand opening was 12/4/19 and the store is as clean as new, which it is lol. Some people can be so petty to ruin another person's career. This store is located within walking distance to the famous Vietnamese restaurant Thanh Ha 2. As shown in the picture, there's a promotion on until Sunday, buy one get one free ! My partner and I came here after our dinner at Thanh Ha 2 to give it a try - only $7.10 (as per promotion). What we really like about this place was that the drink was not too sweet, although we got less sugar. But the main thing is, it didn't taste like diluted water! It actually tastes like milk tea. The only flaw if I'm honest is the pearls could've been better. It was too soft or was not very chewy. Part of the grand experience in getting bubble tea is the texture of the pearls ! I wouldn't go out of my way to go and have a drink here, but if I'm in the area; would definitely visit again. My partner and I spoke inside seated fine, not too sure what the review before me is talking about. Her account has 3 reviews and all she does is complain.

Service was good but the tea has a weird aftertaste. The pearl was also too soft without the chewy-ness. The good thing was as it’s a new store, got 20% off and they open late hours. Willing to give them another chance as I know sometimes new stores can mean I experience and still need to sort out a few things.

With its cute panda artworks on the wall, I was already in a good mood before I got my drink. My friend and I tried the Trio Milk Tea and hot Coconut Milk Tea and were pleasantly surprised by how much we liked it. The pronounced robust flavour of the black tea in the former, and the floral note of green tea in the latter made for a very enjoyable beverage. The pudding and grass jelly I really liked, especially the silky smooth pudding. The pearls were a tad too chewy but passable nonetheless. Friendly service, and there's HK egg waffles - my favourite snack! Definitely will have to make a return visit when I'm in the area.
