Since I’m obsessed with finding new Boba spots, Boba Beast was next on my list to check out. When I pulled into the shared parking lot, I quickly found a spot. When we entered, there was no greeting, and we waited for about 5 mins until someone took our order. I'll let this slide because it looked like they were short-staffed with several orders ahead of me. I ordered a total of 3 drinks; a large mango smoothie with mango popping boba, a large Thai tea with boba, and another Thai Tea with boba in their specialty light bulb glass cup.
Seating is available both inside and out. While waiting inside, I noticed some board games to be played. Even though they didn’t have a lot of options, this is a great idea to have available for people. When we finally got our drinks, I was excited to take my first sip in this really cool glass lightbulb cup. But unfortunately, the Thai tea was super watered down. I think it was because it looked like they were trying to crush the ice to fit into the cup, and so when they did that, I felt like the ice was already melting super quickly. So when they poured the tea inside, it just made the drink super super watery and was yuck! Also, they really need to get special straws for this specific cup because the straws they had were not long enough for the cup, so I could not get any Boba from the bottom because the straw was so short. So what’s the point, right!? The other two drinks were delicious! I took a sip of the other Thai tea in the regular cup, and it was super tasty. Next time I won’t be bougie, and I won’t get the light bulb cup because it will not be good. I suggest going with the basic cup, and it’ll taste a lot better!

This place is the beast in Boba Tea. There is a lot of courtesy shown by their associate by the name of Curtis. A huge shoutout to him for guiding my brother and I to get the tea we needed. Their Honey Lemon Green Tea is my go-to order. I will definitely recommend to come here will be coming again as well.

I wanted to try out a new boba place and i saw Boba beast, I just had to go in because everything was so cute! The name and designs of the Cafe are so adorable. They are also family friendly, they have lots of games for kids or for a group of friends. I was really nervous trying out a different place because usually the drinks aren't good, but this place surprised me. I ordered The winter melon tea and it was so delicious!.I was really shocked by this place since its so small and not known that well. The cashiers are very welcoming. Also, the vibe that this cafe has is so calming. I would definitely come here with a group of friends or just your family as well.

I ordered through Uber Eats and was unable to add a review. The price is not with the items. The Oreo Cheesecake is small for $5.50.

Do not come here. 1 hour for 2 drinks, ridiculous $2 up charge for toppings. All this for mid, unblended drinks. Plus SUPER disorganized behind the counter. You have to constantly ask for an update on whether your order is ready or not. Way better boba places within a 2 mile radius.

Name changes but awful owner stays the same. I’ve lived in the area 12 years and will go to any boba spot except this one. There are so many others one minute away, please don’t support this place.
I watched the owner berate and yell at her employees in front of customers. She’ll argue with customers too. Drinks are okay and boba is never as fresh as other places. They do the bare minimum and charge a lot for their drinks.
Please don’t support this boba shop! We need something new here with a new owner!

Great service & drinks, definitely a hidden gem. Really liked their Honeydew Smoothie, it's creamy, well blended and perfectly balanced sweetness.
