"Food is very delicious, hot, and fresh.Service: staff is kind and willing to answer any questions.Ambience: not too crowded and not empty plus it was very chill."
"My partner and I got a craving for some boba on a busy Saturday. We got a Brown Sugar Coffee and Brown Sugar Cream Cheese. Both are stellar! The servers were very busy taking orders and making drinks but they served my order in less than 5 minutes. While I was waiting on my drink, I noticed they had Macarons and other amazing foods available for purchase that I cant wait to try! When in search for Boba, this is another excellent stop."
"10/10, this place was so good.Lots of options, include lactose free ones. The store itself is so cute, and their little logo is a bao bao (bun/dumpling). Tried their taro at 70% sweet (hint, you really only need 50%!) and added some boba. It came with flan.Super smooth, flavorful, sweet, and milky. I drank that thing so fast. The bobas are sweet as well. Not hard like some other places. And the lids that they use are also so cute! This is one of my top boba places in all of KC."
"Bruu Cafe is my new favorite Boba place in Kansas City area. I've been trying many Boba places around the greater KC area and I like Bruu the best because of their selection, freshness, taste, and seasonal menu items. Bruu is located at a nice environment with relaxing chairs and a fun swing too.We ordered at a Kiosk and received our drinks 5 minutes later. They usually have something new like Butterbeer or Mangos. Favorites so far are the Crème Brûlée Milk Tea and Butterbeer with Crystal Boba. The Butterbeer is just as good as the one at Universal's Wizarding World. Their Milk Bread and Mochi Donut Ball went well with the drinks, we usually order one of their desserts."
"If you know of a better place to get a strawberry smoothie with boba, please send me a message and let me know! This is quite likely the best I've found in KC. I agree with other commenters that I wish they would tone down their sugar level, but I am deeply impressed at the array of options and the quality of the drinks - the fruit is delightful and the tapioca was perfect. Deeply impressed by our first couple visits, and looking forward to dropping by next time we're in the area."
"Not gonna lie, kinda shocked that I was able to find such an authentic tea spot in the middle of Olathe! I'm currently living in San Diego and this is pretty on par to the quality of tea that we have here which is awesome :)My favorite thing to get is the iced HK style milk tea, 70% sweetness! If you've never had it before, I would say that it's a very very strong tea flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. Very similar to something you might get in actual Hong Kong!! The owner is super kind and from HK herself. She is great at suggesting new drinks to try!I LOVE the vibe of this tea shop, lots of open space and a good amount of seating (and a cute couch). The parking lot is fairly large so parking shouldn't be an issue. Definitely swing by if you've been looking for a good and authentic tea spot. Best one in town!!!"
"Best bubble tea in town! Authentic flavor and the staff is super nice! My go to is always the Pana Cotta Milk Tea or Aiyu Lemonade! The shop is a cozy bubble tea shop to meet up with friends or just catch up with anyone!"
"Cutest boba spot I have ever been too! Inside of the store is beautiful and have many places to sit, as well as outlets if you come to study or work. Boba is great!"

This is a great place for some Asian cuisine! My absolute favorite is the stir fry green beans and is what I get every time. Another great dish, an appetizer, Szechwan Won Tons. My personal recommendations besides the previous 2 are; Pad Thai, Kung Po Chicken, Rice in the Bamboo Pot - Beef Teriyaki, Wonton Soup and steamed vegetables. My favorite cocktail is the "Lush". It's nicely decorated with lovely plants in the front windows which adds to the charm. All of the staff is nice and friendly. The prices are reasonable. Sometimes when they are crowded the service is a little slow but overall I highly recommend this nice spot in Lawrence Kansas. A little side note they have about 20 different bubble teas, milk and fruit.

Bubble tea in KC! Stopped by to pick up a cool and refreshing drink. Very impressed with this cute shop that has all the options I am familiar with and more! I ordered an avocado smoothie that is sometimes not available. I was taken aback when I was asked if I wanted the drink with ice cream and coconut. I opted for just coconut. The smoothie was very thick and topped with toasted coconut flakes. The boba was still warm, but nice & chewy! The boba was better than the smoothie as the drink lacked a strong avocado taste and was a bit too thick for my liking. The strawberry matcha latte wasn't very good and I would order that or a tea on my next visit.Plenty of free parking in the shared open lot. There were only a few tables and seating on the day I visited. I was told most of the tables and chairs were removed during the pandemic.

What a fun afternoon treat!*Just a heads up, they'll be closed from 1/31/23 until 3/8/23 to update their menu.*If you haven't had boba before, there are TONS of flavors and combinations. All of which are partnered with a bunch of little gummy balls at the bottom of your drink that themselves in various flavors. They even have some that are juice filled and literally POP in your mouth! So fun.My only reason for not giving a 5-star was just average service. Nothing was bad persay, but other than letting me try one of the boba flavors when I asked for it, the service was... adequate. Nothing that draws me back in.

Best boba I've had in the Midwest! My daughter got the signature milk tea and I got the pumpkin brûlée. Both were delicious! There was only one person at the location. The cashier went super friendly but she was fast. They have a cute Instagramable swing in there.

You can't go wrong with boba tea if you enjoy it. Today I'm trying the brown sugar matcha, the strawberry Oreo, and the brown sugar creme brûlée. They were out of the orange matcha so I'll have to try that next time. It took some time for our drinks, understandably, as it was quite busy. They have a decent amount of seating, there is a small shop in the corner and so many drink choices. Highly recommend!

Takao Tea in Olathe is an absolute gem for any tea lover! The quality of their home-brewed tea is exceptional, with rich and authentic flavors, perfectly complemented by their homemade syrups. You can taste the difference, especially if you're a fan of bubble tea that tastes like tea--this place does it right.The interior design is another highlight, offering a cozy yet modern atmosphere that makes you want to linger longer. Every detail is thoughtfully curated, creating a perfect ambiance to enjoy your drink.If you're in the area, Takao Tea is a must-visit spot & this place will not disappoint!

Oh wow!!! This is a hella good bubble tea place! I was on my way home and decided to stop in Lawrence to catch up with an old friend. The weather was sunny that it definitely was bubble tea weather. So this place is all the way to the left end of this shopping area. Left of Jade Garden, the quiet side where they could put more stores. It is very clean inside and when you enter, there is a table with the menu. Currently there is no seating area so you're ordering and heading out. I liked how they took time to make the drinks. Like not too much time but enough that you appreciate their effort. The cups are so cute with the dog on them! I'm liking these kind of bubble tea cups. And they fit in a car holder cup. They have many drink choices. I usually get the flavored tea options because I try to avoid drinking dairy if possible. And milk is heavy for me to drink especially on a bright sunny day. I got the pineapple green tea with boba and lychee jelly. Very refreshing! Just incredible! I liked how I could still taste some tea flavor and how you can adjust the sugar level here. But nowadays, many bubble tea places are allowing sugar level adjustments. If you love bubble tea and are on the Lawrence area, I would recommend going here. It's not on mass street but that means it's easy to find parking here.They have so many drink options that I want to try and I will definitely try to stop here every time I'm in Lawrence!

Not to be dramatic but the drink I got here is one of the best things I've ever tasted. Just wow. And the jelly was STAR SHAPED! Pure happiness in a cup.This place is delightful with a quiet charming interior. The service is fast and attentive. The prices are very reasonable considering the size and quality. The menu is extensive and the worst part of my visit was struggling to decide what to order because there are just so many mouthwatering options. Guess I will have to come back frequently to try them all!Highly recommend this business.

"My go to is always an Americano and Bing makes a great one but he and his team have whatever you want. This is a warm, friendly, simple little shop that is always clean. The best part, other than the coffee, is Bing. A Chinese immigrant to America, this is his dream and it's personal to him. He learned coffee the old fashioned way and it became his passion. From sourcing and roasting his beans, to the craftsmanship that goes into every cup of joe, his coffee, personality, and staff is superb. Highly recommend to all coffee aficionados."
"Four stars since their milk teas tasted more sweet than actual tea to me. But then again, I also tend to like my drinks a bit stronger in tea flavor. Their fruit teas though are delicious! Definitely recommend the strawberry sangria!Love the little snacks, plushies, and charms they sell inside. It makes waiting for the drink more fun!"
"This boba shop has the cutest decorations inside. I love coming here and getting boba. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They will make sure you enjoy the drink you ordered. I love how many flavor combinations you can come up with! The place is very clean and has clean bathrooms. Overall this is a super cute hangout spot where you can get a sweet treat in Liberty!"
"Support your local businesses. They have all of your favorite donuts, coffee and.....what? Boba! Well that is different, but always great. Enjoy a brown sugar milk tea with your maple glazed donut. They also have smoothies and specialty coffee. Quick service and short lines. Give them a try!"
"I've been going to Ding Tea ever since they opened in Lawrence, though their hours and having to go downtown are sometimes inconvenient. I remembered reading about Presotea in the LJWorld, though just hadn't been able to try it.Decided to stop it while waiting for my take out from Little Saigon to be ready. The staff were happy to answer my questions about the different milk tea's they offer. The Panda milk tea came with white and black boba, something I'd never tried before, and was quite good. Sugar levels were adjustable (I can't stand 100% sugar in milk tea) and so was the amount of ice.Overall, a pleasant experience! If only they had punch cards like Ding Tea."
"So yummy! Fast and polite staff! I love their milk teas with Boba! Definitely the best in town, hands down!"
"This place is great! Went in on the second opening day and it's not bad! The place took over what used to be "Boba KC" and all the old workers still work at this new place! As for the Boba itself, it's fantastic! I had the Honeydew Boba Smoothie and it was delicious! The Boba pearls were nice and soft and had a great texture. The smoothie was well blended and not overly sweet like some places. The location is great for this part of town, as these parts don't have another place to get great Boba Tea. All in all however, this place is a must go to if you're a Boba enthusiast or if you're just looking for a good drink! Come give it a shot and see what you think!"
"My new favorite boba place in town! This place just opened, and we love boba and were excited to try. Super cute decor and chill vibes. The staff was friendly and came by to check on us to make sure everything was good! Good service overall.- Brown sugar Oreo fresh milk with boba (4.5/5): I usually get boba less sweet, but I wanted to try it the way it came. It was pretty sweet but yummy overall! The Oreo was a perfect crunch, and the boba tasted fresh. Next time I'll try half sweet.- Taro milk tea with boba (4/5): Good milky taro flavor. My husband thinks it could be more sweet, but I like how it came. It's pretty much your standard taro milk tea. - Pork roll banh mi sandwich (4/5): I was surprised how delicious this was! Lots of fresh toppings for a crunch, and the pate made the sandwich very flavorful. A bit too much bread vs meat/topping ratio. The portion size is a bit small too, but so tasty!"
"Very easy to order. Nice staff. Quick service. Incredibly clean environment. Tasty drinks!!"
"So tasty and insanely affordable! All the donuts are great. The B&G is a little bland, but the sausages are really tasty if you want something salty."
"First and foremost, don't let the exterior of the building scare you away. Yes, it looks sketchy at best but inside you will find a clean, inviting atmosphere. The service is excellent. Very friendly and helpful. I'm no authority on Japanese cuisine so I don't know a lot about it. But, we had the Hibachi chicken and the Hibachi steak. Both were absolutely delicious. The rice even had a good flavor. Try the complimentary onion soup. Very tasty but you need to like onions. Not a big fan of sushi but they have a large selection to choose from. Sushi lovers should like it here. Parsons needed another choice for lunch and dinner. We are adding it to our list of regular places to eat."
