Delicious Boba, awesome service! Sarah does such a great job making you feel welcome. She always greets you with a smile and has so much knowledge and kindness when asking about their offers, even if you’re new to Boba and Lotus or any of their ice cream flavors! The other staff are also great, but I wanted to give her a special shout out!

Ordered the strawberry cheesecake boba and I honestly wasn’t expecting it to be so spot on. Also ordered the aquamarine lotus, not really sure what I was expecting with that, didn’t taste like I thought, but was still good.
