Cafe Bubble tea store

😠 two large milk teas, one black and one jasmine both with tapioca - both tasted like water?!! it seems like they used the same amount of flavor for medium/small size and put it in the large - diluting the flavor to the point of tastelessness, it should at least taste like tea…very disappointing sad f...

    I'm a huge fan of milk tea, so I got very excited to hear about this place. I got hazelnut milk tea, my friends got black passion fruit and caramel milk tea ones. I was pleasantly surprised by deliciousness of hazelnut tea, never had it before. The sales person was pretty shy but friendly. I would give it 5 stars, but there's some things that made me question if I'd come back. In my opinion, caramel milk tea lacks flavor; prices are quite high, especially given the size of cups. I think for the price it should be bigger, or at least the same size as in Asia. Other than that, I recommend this place. I really appreciate that milk tea was made from tea and not all powder

    It’s not the real boba 🥲 The boba Taiwanese people are used to should be chewy and when you chew them there is some kind of sweetness, but the boba here was like water balls, you chew and they explode, with sweetened liquid in it, which is entirely different from the authentic one.

    Nice place to grab some bubble tea and enjoy the city center. Prices are fine, you can choose from different flavors for some drinks you may choose different sweetness level and fillings (like tapioca pearls or fruit pieces). Baozi did not meet my expectations, it was warmed up in a microwave, however the taste was fine (I chose the pork baozi). Overall tea is delicious and I'm definitely coming back for more.

    We ordered two teas, I am lactose intolerant so I ordered a vegan one with coconut milk, however it gave me really bad stomach ache and made me want to puke, i told the stuff about the issue and they told me to just throw it to the trash. Never coming back, poor service and the black bobba tea tasted like dirty water and the tapioca pearls were tasteless. I would give it a cero, but google does not let me.

    We got passion fruit tea with bubblegum popping boba, and coconut smoothie with tapioca. The coconut one was great the passionfruit one was not sweet enough although I asked for it to be sweet. There were 2 staff members working at the time and although there were automated shaker machines… they were oh so slow I could’ve drank it by the time I received my drink.

    I loved Formosa in Palanga and visited it lot's of times, but this exact cafe in Vilnius is absolute opposite. Also they didn't reply on my huge feedback in Instagram Direct. (Can't attach screenshot due to Google policy) P.s. the tea was extremely fat

    Tapioca is discussing and very bad, the milk tea was very bad as well, just water with powder. Don’t recommend, prices are high and no point, just threw it away. I’m a huge bubble tea fan and this just disappointed me

    I'm not sure other branches, but this one is terrible - very bad service, and the milk tea tastes like water, worst milk tea ever. The owner really needs to pay attention to the quality control and the staff training.

    Good place and is inside G9 shopping mall in the city center. The only downside is that the drink isn't very cold. I think they should put a little ice on it specially in the summer which is very humid. According to my boyfriend all drinks in Lithuania doesn't have ice on it.

    came here to try bubble tea from lithuania and was not disappointed. got the "peach please" galaxy drink with basil seeds and grape jelly and it was very delicious, both the flavour and the texture of toppings. the menu is very easy to understand, had a vegan menu aswell. i have never seen electronic order number tags before which beeps and vibrates when the drink is ready so that was a cool surprise. employees were fast when making the drinks aswell despite the non stop line. will return if i come to lithuania again :]

    I ordered jasmine milktea with 25% sugar. The sweetness level was fine and as expected but I think the milk was also reduced to 25%. So my drink was basically just cold jasmine tea with tapioca pearls. Haven’t tried any other bubble tea stores in Vilnius, but this one is definitely below average. The price though was ok, not expensive compared to other European countries I’ve been to.

    Good selection of premade tea, diverse in custom tea flavours with pearls and tea. But not the usual traditional Taiwanese bubble tea I get.

    There were a lot of people so the waiters were rushing and did very poor quality brown sugar drink. It was my fav but after my last 2 visits im dissapointed and i will consider before ever going... sad

    Something terrible - waiting line about 20-30 minutes, very crouded, after waiting only 20% of meniu products left, and finally what was delivered was an absolute mess, not according to technology process, lacking ingredients and etc. For family I paid almost 20 eur in vain. Not sure I will come next time

    Best bubble tea i ever had. Vanilla smoothie is my all time favorite

  • 5/5 Simona D. 10 months ago on Google
    My favourite bubble tea place, although it seems they raised their prices recently? I got a large drink and it cost me 4,30€

  • 1/5 Gerda 4 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    The tea is quite okay, but the bubbles are disgusting. I'm sorry for sounding mean, but whenever I tried the tea with bubbles I always puke. I'd like to add that the brown sugar milk tea tastes like milk and nothing else. Sometimes even a mix of milk and water

👍👍 Highlight of Vilnius! I Don't even know where to begin with this place! This place is truly awesome! The food is fantastic and the service is excellent but the CATS.... There are 15 rescued cats that are just hanging out chilling with people. It's such a soothing, fun, loving atmosphere. The energy...

👍👍 First time to Meat Lovers and it was fantastic, it’s warm cosy and welcoming. The food was great, we had the steak and duck both of which were delicious. Well worth a visit.
