Going to Palm Springs, I wasn’t really expecting any boba shops but this one was continently in downtown Palm Springs! The atmosphere in the shop was nice, cute LED sign, tables and chairs, and a claw machine. The workers were very nice and there were lots of paper menus around, as well as a big menu in the front. The drinks themselves were okay. I went with my family and ordered the matcha milk tea, thai milk tea, Hokkaido milk tea, and regular milk tea. All of these drinks came with boba included. The flavors were mostly spot on, except the matcha milk tea which tasted only of green tea. Still we were able to enjoy our drinks outside on their tables with our dog :)

Came here this evening and had an amazing experience! The two people working were so sweet and helpful with my family. Place was very nice and clean. I got the almond milk tea boba and it was sooo yummy. I also work at a boba shop and everything was perfect!

Love this boba place! Whenever my boyfriend and I are in Palm Springs, we come here for the boba of course, but we also come in to see the staff. Shoutout to Andrea and Isiah! The staff remembered our names two weeks after I mistakenly picked up someone elses drink. They were so nice about my blunder and assured me that it wasn't a big deal since the drinks were the same anyway. Since then, they have given us discounts or free drinks whenever they are out of the matcha. We will be here again!!

Pleasantly surprised that there was a boba spot in Downtown Palm Springs! I ended up getting the Lychee Drink with popping boba and it had floral notes that were nice. The inside is more of a cafe that is grab and go for the most part. The service was friendly also and you can customize the sugar and ice too. Lots of options to pick from and good price point too.

Delicious! The staff were very nice and they helped with multiple questions. I asked for light ice and got a full drink with very little ice, exactly what i wanted! the balance between tea and boba was perfect and the passionfruit syrup wasn't too sweet. would recommend!

I was hot and thirsty. Came by for a refreshment and the PSP smoothie (cherry, blueberry, strawberry and lychee) really hit the spot. I was able to adjust the sweetness to 25% and it was perfect. Service was quick and friendly. If the hot weather keeps up, I'll probably be by several more times while I'm in town to quench my thirst and beat the heat.

It’s a cute, small boba cafe. They have a nice variety of options. I ordered the Horchata with tapioca at 50% sweetness and it was delicious! I recommend checking it out. There aren’t any restrooms. One small little claw machine that looked fun. Limited seating.
