    I have never disliked anything from here, food and drinks are great! Only complaint is the text offer code they sent me for $10 off $20 didn't match the same code online which said $10 off $25

    We usually love Uplift, but I ordered just a regular bagel with regular cream cheese and I could hardly see any cream cheese. Wow, thanks for taking even more of my money. In case you’re wondering why I didn’t take it back, I am recovering from major back surgery.

    hello. i’m from the chicago but recently have been staying a few towns away from this area and i have been desperately looking for a good boba milk tea place out here & decided to give this place a try! i ordered online through the direct website- a cup of tomato soup w crackers, a “big cheese” grilled cheese w sea salt chips, a large brown sugar milk black tea with tapioca. (= $24) unfortunately, although i ordered directly through the online website for pick up: “asap- 10 minutes” my order was never printed and sent to the kitchen, so when i arrived promptly after those 10 minutes, the cashier lady noticed my online order when i was next in line and yelled to the kitchen to see if they got it, he didn’t. i said it was my order and it was okay, then waited another 16-17 minutes for my order to be ready. when my order was ready i was told the tapioca was going to take an additional 20 minutes to be ready so if i wanted to get a different popping boba instead. honestly i would’ve liked to/ should’ve gotten a refund, but i didn’t want to go through the hassle since i was hungry and i paid online. also, the chips i ordered were not available, so i had to try a different kind. they didn’t even put them in my bag or tell me to grab them, so i had to ask if i should just grab them from the rack after i noticed they were missing from my order. now, as for the food, the tomato soup was surprisingly good! the only thing missing from the soup was the croutons that are supposed to be on top (as seen in the website’s picture and described in the sub heading for the soup). the grilled cheese was VERY bland and SUPER thin as u can see in the picture i uploaded- it really just looked like a piece of bread and didn’t have any taste/not enough cheese at all, especially for being called “big cheese grilled cheese” lol. the brown sugar milk tea didn’t taste like brown sugar at all and the blueberry popping boba i had to substitute for didn’t help make the drink any better, i don’t know if it might’ve made it worse actually. so i might come back for the tomato soup but that’s about it, too many small things that ruined my first experience here sadly.

    My daughter and I have come in here a few times and it has always been a fantastic experience. The Taro bubble tea is to die for, and they are AMAZING with food allergies. As someone with Celiac, it can be hard to find options that are safe - this place is perfect. They have gluten free bread, and chili and ensures there is no cross contamination. When asked about other options they ensured they provided accurate answers. The place itself is adorable and a genuinely incredible atmosphere. New go-to spot for sure!!

    Overpriced now, and they struggle to properly deliver your items. For how much money I'm spending here, service sure doesn't reflect it.
