I’ve visited this bubble tea shop twice recently, and unfortunately, both times I found that many of the flavors were out of stock. It’s disappointing when you’re excited to try something new, only to find limited options available. Additionally, the preparation time has consistently been quite long, which can be frustrating when you’re in a hurry.

This new spot is super chill with yummy bubble tea and savoury southeast asian food. It's only been open for about 6months and they already made it to the front of a newspaper. The owners are really friendly and its a cute little shop with ample seating for dining in. We had three types of boba today. The fruit teas are A1 with actual fruit pieces. Would definitely come here again.

The guy at the till always greets with the smile on his face. He also prepares the best matcha latte in England. Love the atmosphere inside the cafe. I would highly recommend this place to anyone really. Tried their food as well. They have quite good selection for the size of the cafe. But overall 10/10. Thank you for your excellent service .
