    My first experience here, is top notch. There's plenty of varieties to choose from and I tried the Mango Lemonade, Strawberry Lemonade, Strawberry milk bobba. Everything is good. Personally I felt the milk bobba is less sweet but other than that this place is awesome. The staff were super friendly. I would go back here to try few more things.

    Delicious boba tea and adorable and unique ice cream. My wife loves the takoyaki! I am a taro addict. The service is great too! Make sure you leave a tip!

    We actually really love this place, with do many selections of teas and food items it seems there is always something new to try. The service can be slow if you're getting something to eat but it's worth it. I love the rice and spam, it's sooo good. I believe Thirst Teas is absolutely worth going out of your way for.

    The charcoal vanilla and taro twist is so good, have not had a boba from here that I didn't like. Get the waffle bowl. Jasmine milk tea boba 💯 Great service, delicious ice cream, great prices, great quality. We will be back 🙌❤️🤤

    I order that brown sugar boba somewhere else it wasn't good and I find that place and they make it and it was the best. the Asian lady makes it sweet the way I like it . I guess it depends on who makes your drinks too, sometimes they are good, and sometimes not .but yeah I like that place now .

    Came specifically for the new vegan option: Dole Pineapple in a (dairy, egg, and nut free) waffle cone!and it was so delicious! Got coconut as the 1 included topping. $6 all together. The cashier was extremely kind with answering my questions. Clean, affordable and great service 10/10 do recommend.

    I love thirst tea, but they made my sister's drink wrong (which that's okay. It happens..) but when my sister politely said she did not want boba, they all glared and the girl handling the drink rolled her eyes...so unnecessary.

    Extremely rude employee. Forgot our order, which typically I would give the employee the benefit of the doubt, but the employee had the nerve to be rude to us. My assumption is that she probably felt bad about forgetting our order and wanted to make us feel bad too, so she could feel better. I even tipped these employees. Wish I could get my tip/my hard earned money back. I can't believe I tipped these rude people. I work with customers, and I experience rude ones all the time. I'm sure this rude employee knows what that's like, so she should know not to treat people rudely.

    It super good! I love all of their foods and drinks as well as their desserts the only thing that makes me sad is when COVID hit they had to not put out chairs and the cute tables. But this is for our safety and I’m glad that even now their enforcing those rules! They think of their and our safety while giving us their top quality products! I love thirst Rea and believe that anyone who goes there will be completely satisfied 😁

    Just like the one in Midtown! Love how chewy the boba is. Price for ice cream seems pretty steep though, so I didn't get any

    I usually love this place since it’s close by but recently they’re just not it. I’ve had the problem where they leave my drinks on the counter but not call my number. People who ordered after me got their stuff before me. I try to be patience because I know most places are short staff but it’s irritating when this happens all the time I go there.

    I go in there all the time. The store has a very inviting environment, from the employees, to the wonderful mural on the wall. The employees are always helpful on a recommendation, and they work meticulously to make sure their ice cream is photo worthy. 10/10, it's my favorite place to go on a hot summer day. Though they could invest in some outdoor seating.

    Tried both the Takoyaki and the Spam Onigiri... delicious! They call their blended/snow drinks "Slush" so make sure you ask for it to be made that way. Otherwise, it's just a normal cold drink. I was very surprised that they offered crystal Bobas, so it was a win for me! Great overall service. 👍

  • 5/5 Stephanie 7 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    Excellent service! Staff is always friendly and helpful. All the drinks are amazing! The kimchi onigiri is my absolute favorite snack to order!

  • 5/5 Stephanie M. 8 months ago on Google • 17 reviews
    Thai Tea soft serve and Taro soft serve were amazing. The staff went above and beyond in answering questions and in the presentation of the ice cream. We love going to this place for a guaranteed great treat.

    Questioning why the drinks are never filled to the top? Even with minimal foam, the drinks here seems to never be filled all the way. I do love the space and ambiance of the shop but kinda sucks to pay for drinks and it not being filled fully.

  • 5/5 Wennie W. 4 years ago on Google
    Best boba and ice cream in town..!!!!!

  • 5/5 LOR F. 4 years ago on Google
    My daughters love this place. The snacks were delicious.

  • 5/5 Evelyn 11 months ago on Google
    The workers were extremely kind and patient with my friends and I. There is plenty of seating and some of the tables have cute drawings on them. The food and drinks are also extremely good and they even remade our drinks for free when we dropped them. The workers are so nice and the food is really good. I definitely recommend this place.

  • 3/5 Bea K. 1 year ago on Google
    the drinks and onigiri are usually pretty good but every time i’ve been here the customer service has been bad - the cashiers that i’ve had have always been generally unfriendly

  • 5/5 Tyler G. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good service and items! If they expanded their kitchen and offered more great tasting food nd a bit of customization to somethings this place would be a great place to come for anything like lunch to quick snacks! Will definitely be going back

  • 4/5 Mallory K. 1 year ago on Google
    One star taken off because it takes so long to get your tea. But this place is worth it. We ate that up sis. Slayyyy. Long live thirst tea!

  • 5/5 Ramon C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fast and friendly faces and great prices and the teas are great my favorite is the coconut milk with the mango popings

  • 3/5 Cadience W. 1 year ago on Google
    Drinks were good, service was not it... Person who took our order was very short and rude. I wanted to ask more questions as I was trying a new flavor and their attitude made me feel very uncomfortable and a bit stupid. I ended up just going with the drink I was trying to ask about. When waiting I teared up which is not a common occurrence anymore as I’m healing my severe social anxiety. Second employee was nicer but at that point we decided my boyfriend will be going in alone if we decide to get drinks here again.

  • 1/5 Roger D. 1 year ago on Google
    Explicit music with tasteless lyrics, not very friendly environment for anyone looking to go someplace friendly. Staff are nice, but the music was inappropriate.

  • 3/5 Greg G. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered some wings and they were very good. I also ordered a large lemonade and they gave me something I didn't order. They did make me the correct drink but, they didn't put any ice in the lemonade.

  • 5/5 Ajay D. 4 years ago on Google
    Their menu and the employees are the best! Good job 👍

  • 5/5 Eleanor C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great menu, and I love ability to substitute or add things as I want. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

  • 2/5 Tobi K. 3 years ago on Google
    I wish I could leave a better review, but the service was terrible. The employees seemed completely removed during the order proces. There were only 3 people in the shop and they handed our friend’s food order to the wrong person. We waited over 10 minutes for the rest of our onigiri while the employees played on their phones. Eventually I had to ask if they could please let us know how much longer it would take. Come to find out it had been finished long ago in the kitchen and we had been waiting for nothing. Milk tea did not have strong tea flavor. Left 2 stars because the onigiri was good.

  • 5/5 Marci S. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent boba teas. I love their seaweed onigiri too. Thankful they opened a location by the Asian market for its convenience. End up visiting almost every other week.

  • 4/5 Jennifer G. 3 years ago on Google
    Went for the first time. A lot of choices and the lady taking our order was pleasant. Two other employees were not as nice, but overall it was a good experience. There is no dining in right now just fyi.

  • 5/5 Diandra W. 3 years ago on Google
    One of my #1 go to places with the best Boba & Onigiri

  • 5/5 Justin A. 3 years ago on Google
    Staff is always so friendly and polite. I highly recommend the island twist! I'm not really big on the popping bobba so the island twist with it's mango jellies is a very refreshing and delightful taste to brighten your day.

  • 5/5 Joshua M. 3 years ago on Google
    I love this place. I try something new every time I go, and I've never been disappointed. I think my favorite is the Bruce Lee.

  • 2/5 Sara H. 3 years ago on Google
    I love thirst tea. It’s my favorite place to get boba and I get boba here at least 3 times a week..but I had a very bad experience with one of the workers here. She was very rude and impolite with my mom..when my mom asked a question about just purchasing popping boba she said with attitude “NO, we don’t sell the boba separately..you need to get a drink with it” it was very obvious she was irritated when it was not necessary to be angry. she also proceeded to mess up my order than get angry with me and aggressively placed the messed up drink down and tell me to pay the difference and gave me attitude..I worked in customer service in over a year and that is a very unprofessional way to handle a misunderstanding..I’d rather drive another 10 minutes to the further location than come here again. :/

  • 1/5 Taylor B. 1 year ago on Google • 2 reviews
    They literally left dish soap in the cup while making my drink, so it was mixed into the final drink. I asked for a new one and the staff was extremely rude, got me a new drink, and it still tasted and looked like there was soap in it. The staff need to focus less on rushing through the dishes and make sure the drinks don’t have soap in them. Dish soap is extremely toxic for human consumption and could make someone seriously sick. Do better, thirst tea.
