First Goncha! I went on Sunday but the line is amazing! Was there more than 40 people? But there are about 2 clerk who lead the line, so it doesn't get confused, and that is a good impression unlike other tapioca stores! I think it was like waiting 30 minutes. Milk tea is normal, sweet and not too sweet. Tapioca is slightly harder than small grains! I like large grains, so I didn't like it, but the drinks and tapioca were satisfying! Because the price is not gentle, I'm glad to be more satisfied when the amount of drink increases ... But the store clerk was also able to prevent congestion, so it ’s 4! ! If it ’s not crowded, it ’s like other flavors!
