Vibe was good, it was nice inside. The Tapioca boba wasn't available. This changed what I was going to get. They were also out of cheesecake. But the cocoa berry bowl was good, I thought it would have more chocolate tasting, But was more of a smoothie with fruit on top. Strawberry kiwi lemonade was the winner drink today. Beach bum was a bit too sweet. Atmosphere was good, service was good just a little slower.
First impression, it looks great. The decor is stunning, lots of great spots for unique pictures. On the floor they added little “beach” areas where theres sand, stones and shells. Any parent would probably stress about their kids getting into it…I know I would
At first customer service was nice, very casual. I wanted to thoroughly look through the menu so I took about 5 minutes to read through everything.
I placed an order for 3 drinks total.
1) An Isle of birds under the category of frui-teas for $5.75. I give this drink a 2/5, it tasted more like syrup than mangos, the popping pearls were a nice touch but I couldn’t taste it since the flavor of the syrup tea was so strong, and the mango chunks were pretty hard. I wouldn’t order this one again
2) sweet sand dollar under the category of oddi-teas for $6.50. I give this drink a 3/5. Taro has always been my safe go to drink, but this one tasted very watered down compared to every other place that makes taro beverages. The drink itself was only 2/3 full with ice and boba, and the rest was whipped cream. I wish it had more taro and less whipped cream
3) Kiwi sunset under the category of lemonades for $4.55. This drink was a 4/5. I requested blueberry popping pearls to be added to my order. Without the popping pearls it’s decent lemonade. Except I had a stem in my drink.
Total spent was a little over $18
The part that disappointed me was the treatment towards staff members, lack of professionalism, and time management. It took 15 minutes for my order to be completed.
As I was waiting, the woman who I assume is the “boss” was rudely telling one of her employees to sweep the store. So he goes to sweep, and after 5 minutes I noticed she was just really aggravated with him as he was doing his job. When he tried to tell her something she just yelled at him “you need to stop yelling at me” as they went back and forth, it was obvious she was picking on him. There was another female employee, who seemed like the bosses sister/best friend that pitched in and it seemed like they were both picking on him. All of this happened in the front where customers can see…and as the boss lady was handing me my drinks…very unpleasant and unprofessional seeing that. Any issues need to be resolved and kept in the back. Customers should not be involved in work drama in any way. And if that lady was a boss, she needs to learn patience. The other employees seemed ok in work attitude, way too casual to the point where it felt like they were having a hangout and forgot that there were customers. from what I could see there was the boss, her friend/sister, and 3 other employees.
Hopefully over time whatever drama happens won’t be in front of customers, the time to make drinks isn’t slow, and they step up the customer service.
This place is great. They have such a large variety of teas and boba that I can get something different every time I go! The drinks always taste amazing! And all the workers are super nice. Definitely my favorite place to get boba tea.
All new locations have thier growing pains. Last two times I went in, the service was great! Simple Thai milk Boba tea was fantastic, which is my litmus test for all Boba shops.
Will look forward to trying everything else over time!
A tropical escape. The staff is super friendly. Our daughter has a food allergy and the staff took extra precautions to ensure there was no contamination. The drinks and food are delicious. Perfect if you ever need to get a quick beach fix.
I loved my time at the Island! Tiki Island Bubble Tea Cafe could easily become my new study spot. Friendly service, great drinks, and reasonable prices are all reasons why I will definitely be coming back.
I have been a Bubble tea drinker for like 20 years. I usually order a Bubble milk green tea with almond flavor, tapioca, and not sweet.
This place was WOW way too sweet and tasted like thick syrup. I asked for only a tiny bit of sweetness from the girl making the drinks, who was polite.
If you are watching your sugar intake per day you will get your full in one drink here! My husband and I felt sick after we drank them. Cute place, clean but seems not for health oriented people or Diabetics. I ordered the Fruit Tea with passionfruit and my husband ordered the lavender Thai tea.
If there is a way to cut back on the sugar syrup we would love to come back and try again. Thanks☺️
My husband and I saw this place after dropping our daughter off at New London Driving School. Upon walking in, my first impression was the super cute interior. The staff was super friendly and prepared our drinks quickly. I was impressed at the real chunks of kiwi in my fruit tea. My husband said his lemonade was very tasty as well. If you decide to open a second location, please consider Bethlehem in Barrow County. I would love to have your amazing teas closer to where I live!
