The Urban Pearl

Best boba out there! I love their thai tea it has a strong tea flavor and is also very creamy. If you like boba you'll know there's not a lot of good boba places that can make a good thai tea but this place will not disappoint. Their matcha is also great for people who like more subtle tastes when it comes to matcha. Very creamy and delicate! Their smoothies also have great consistency and is super soft and fluffy. Staff is also super sweet and accommodating, I highly recommend place 10/10!

More drinks to try, more favorites to add!-Jasmine milk tea has wonderful tea flavor. Best in town in my opinion.-taro milk (not a tea drink so it has no caffeine, perfect for those late afternoons!)

My husband and I have been at this location a few years back when it used to be another boba place felt the place was okay and haven't returned until yesterday. Excited to see another boba place had opened in place of it. Arrived around 7pm there were so many people inside. We were greeted by the gentleman taking orders luckily it was just my husband and I in line to order because we would have held up the line. The kind gentleman was so patient he literally took his time explaining everything on the menu, all of his recommendations and popular items and goes into detail of what they put in the drinks (no high fructose corn syrup, fresh fruits in their smoothies, etc) they also have fresh macarons 3 for $8.50. After all his recs it made our decision a bit more difficult since they all sounded so delicious and we wanted them all lol definitely all the more reason to come back.I ended up getting and ube coconut taro with egg puddling, was told this drink was good for people who are lactose intolerant, thankfully I'm not one but I love me any type of ube and I love both coconut and Ube together. My husband ordered a fruit drink; lychee rose fruit tea with aloe Vera 60% sweet. Waited about 10mins for our drinks. My ube coconut was so good, egg puddling so soft. My husband's tea tasted floral as it should and it was my first time having aloe vera as a topping, interesting good, perfect level of sweetness. I thought if that was at 60%, normal sweetness would have been too sweet for our taste. So that was a good call. The macarons ordered (3): strawberry, cookies n crème and birthday cake. They were pretty big and fluffy compared to the standard ones. Each one was delicious, the shell was perfect and inside was delicate and soft to bite. Flavors were on point, I'm a cookies n cream kind of gal and that the flavor to that cookies n crème was *chef kiss my daughter ate majority of the macarons but the cookies n crème I kept for myself lolI can't express enough how amazing and kind the staff are. They went above and beyond from the beginning of our visit simply by going over the menu with recommendations and when we got our order they wanted to make sure everything was good and they made it a point to tell us if we were unhappy with our drinks they would gladly make us a new one. Love the transparency and honesty. Would highly recommend this place and will be returning to try more of their drinks.

My husband and I are boba enthusiasts, and this new boba shop got advertised to us on social media. We were in the Clovis area and decided to check it out.Ambiance/feel- Very modern with dark color scheme. Workers wear denim aprons and really know their menu. We asked lots of questions and told the worker that we like drinks not very sweet. He told us he'd take care of us.Drinks- I got green Thai tea with boba which was ok. It tasted a bit like marshmallows. However, boba had perfect QQ consistency and the standard is nondairy milk. My husband's citrus passion fruit was a 5/5. SOOOO good. We sat at tables and watched them hand juicing the lemons and limes into his drink. The fruit tea was crafted well and had a huge punch of flavor, all without being too sweet. Tea flavor and fruit flavors come out strong and on perfect harmony.Cost- Our beverages cost ~$6-7 each plus $0.70 for boba.Overall, a fantastic addition to Fresno's boba scene. On par with and even better than some of our favorite spots in Socal.

Ambiance is standard. Fine. Packed especially for a weekday afternoon around 3pm. Service was a little slow but pleasant. Bestie got Vietnamese iced coffee w/non dairy option instead (lactose intolerant). Her coffee was strong but smooth. Very nice! Mine was delicious! Very nice strong flavor. Totally worth it. Absolutely will come again! Wish them good luck.

Come support your local business who is also woman owned! Located on Nees and Willow in the Monteicito Plaza, this boba tea/coffee shop has a warm and modern aesthetic. I came to support them at their grand opening. They have a variety of drink options in categories Coffee (ice blend, classics, & caffeine-free), Fruit Tea , crafted fruit tea, Milk Tea, Smoothies, Ceremonial Matcha. They have 9 different topping options. I got to try their boba, and the consistency is on point! Nice and chewy, bouncy, and it's soaked in that brown sugar. I know a good boba when I have it. The order: Ube Milk Tea was so rich in flavor, the ube really shines and it's my husband's personal fav. The Brown Sugar Boba Milk tea was so delectable, feels like I'm having a dessert! I have had a of different Roasted Oolong Milk tea, and this is VERY good totally recommend! The Osmanthus Oolong was nice and aromatic, you have a nice hint of the Osmanthus flower. I really enjoyed this drink. The Coconut Matcha I drink the second day and it was still great. A nice combination of the coconut hydration and the matcha. This order does come in a 16 oz cup, so don't be alarmed or confused if it is smaller than your other drinks, which is 24oz. You can't go wrong with ordering a House Milk Tea, no complaint, just an overall great drink. The owner recommended ordering the drink as is because it is made to be the PERFECT sweetness. I am not the type to have my drink really sweet and often time will let boba shops know to make my order 75% sweet, but I ordered these drinks all as is. To my surprised, I love it as is! It is not too sweet and not too bland. It is the perfect sweetness! Note: if you do drink your boba tea later you can let the staff know and they don't have to ice your drink. That way, it won't be diluted later when you have it. They also don't use high fructose sweetener, and use sugar cane sugar! I love that! The staff were really nice and I was greeted upon entry, and it was nice to speak the owners of the shop. There are plenty of indoor seating inside great to hangout at or even study. The restroom is open for their guest and it was clean and tidy. They are still very new and are working out the kinks, so do be mindful if your order is coming out a little slower. Overall, I love their boba tea, they aren't cutting corners and making sure their guest are getting Quali-tea Tea lol. Will be coming back for sure.

I'm always on the lookout for possible new boba places, so when my friend showed me that this place was opening with a buy one get one half off deal, so we swung by over the weekend to check it out. I got an uji matcha with egg pudding, another friend got ube taro with coconut, another got Thai tea with boba, and the last friend got roasted oolong with boba. We actually got there at a time when they had to make a new boba batch and we decided not to wait for it. The uji matcha was good; wish there was a bit stronger matcha flavor but it's light, not bitter, or grassy, so a good intro to matcha for people who are new to it. My friends really liked their ube drink, roasted oolong, and Thai tea drinks - they forgot to ask for less sweet but also it wasn't mentioned in the menu if there were less sweet options. So I would love to see that as well as alternative milk options for those who are lactose intolerant (me). I also wished they put a bit more egg pudding for me. There's a good amount of seating and the area is spacious. There's a little area in the front where you can buy macarons. Hopefully there will be more options in the future. Service was friendly. Wishing this new boba place all the best! Will come back to try the boba itself sometime soon

This place is located on the NW corner of Nees and Willow, next to The Point. We went on Super Bowl Sunday because they had a BOGO 1/2. Every table was taken. I was immediately met with a smile. I had questions about their menu and was so happy to hear that every tea is loose leaf and freshly brewed. They have one powder, which is the Ube. That seems to be standard for many tea places, though. The fresh fruit teas also have pieces of fresh fruit. If you've had Teazers fresh fruit teas like the Honolulu, think that, just more fruit. We ordered the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea and the Citrus Passionfruit Fresh Fruit Tea. The oolong flavor stood out and wasn't watered down. It was robust and the sweetness was well balanced. My husband opted for the popular Citrus Passionfruit and it was equally fresh as it was tangy. I can see this being a nice summer refresher. It wasn't overly sweet either. It was very clean inside, although very warm. The decor and color scheme is nice and neutral. The prices are comparable, although slightly higher, by about $0.50. Would definitely be back to try other menu items

Best matcha in town! So earthy and flavorful, yet not too sweet (which is perfect). I ordered the Uji Matcha Cloud which has a cup with vanilla foam inside alongside ceremonial grade Uji matcha (~$7). We also ordered a strawberry macaron (~$3). The inside has plenty of tables to study or work, and I saw plenty of people with laptops so there's most likely wifi for the building. I'll definitely be coming back to try more drinks!

First impression, the inside is very modern and clean. It's small but has space to move around and sit which I love! The service was great. I had questions about the teas and the barista gave me a ton of information about it! I love that their teas are imported and from the taste of their drinks you can tell that the ingredients are rich and high quality. I was pretty shocked by how much the quality stood out from other shops! I can't wait to try the whole menu!
