    This was my favorite boba place when I was in college. I was so excited every time I filled up my stamp card here. To be fair, I didn't grow up with boba so my boba opinions were pretty basic, but U Cha did kinda define boba for me, so it will always be good. When my mom visited me, I bought her a standard black milk tea with boba, and she said that she finally understood why I liked boba so much. And then she gave me a lecture about how unhealthy it was and how I'd end up like that girl that got constipated from eating too many pearls. Anyways it's just a very dependable spot. Good place to stop in after Great China.

    this is a small boba spot located on a corner with some seating available. i believe there is a self order kiosk, but you can also order ahead on snackpass for the points-- it was my first order here, so i got a 20% discount :3 the price is standard for the bay our drink took a while; i think we came at a busy time as there were people waiting inside and outdoors. i didn't get to see what other drinks they had bc my sister insisted that i should try the bomberman bomberman [3.5/5] - tbh, brown sugar boba milks are never my first choice at boba spots (not a huge milk fan). this wasn't bad, but it still wasn't enough to convert me into a milk enjoyer :') we got extra boba which made it a little too sweet. they keep that boba heated, so get EXTRA ice !! even with the extra ice, our drink was barely cold, and the ice melted really quickly once we stirred it :p the texture of the boba was SAUR GOOD-- probably one of the best i've had. it was soft and chewy (almost like mochi), not too chewy/tough or too mushy :]

    We came here on a Sunday afternoon and there was little wait. You order form the iPad and it's pretty straightforward. There is limited sitting space, but the ambiance was still lively and overall a a great place to meet friends or get work done! I usually get the Bomberman (and highly recommend this). I wanted try something else on the menu and ordered the Rose Milk Tea with 25% sugar and 0% ice and I was not disappointed! It was delicious and had a subtle rose taste. The sugar levels were also perfect. There are both sugar and ice adjustments available. Overall, I had a good experience and will be back again in the future to try more items from the menu!

    Super crowded when I went on a Saturday night. There's a little big of seating inside. I got the black milk tea boba with cheese foam on top. It was super rich and the cheese foam tasted like cream cheese.
