I stopped by, I’ve been keeping my eye on the place. It’s a cute little shop, they have mochi donuts which I’m excited about. I didn’t get any on my first visit but I did get the pina colada milk tea which was delicious, I was just too sweet for me. Now I know to ask for less sugar. I definitely have to come back.

This location is between Bloomfield and Shadyside, so the fact that it has a dedicated parking lot was a win in my book! That was the first plus I noticed, and it only got better from there. The Brown Sugar Oreo Boba Milk Tea, one of Bubble Bee's specials, is not too sweet but definitely satisfies that sweet tooth craving. The double chocolate mochi donut was . I went around 11 AM and it tasted fresh. In addition to the clutch parking + treats, the staff answered my questions and I got to look at the cute decor while I waited. Overarching thought: can't wait to go again

The Tie Guan Yin Pearl Milk Tea is delicious one of the best milk tea options I’ve had in Pittsburgh. If you like oolong milk tea that has a DEFINED tea flavor not overwhelmed by the milk, I definitely recommend it! They actually give light ice if you request it as well. Pricing is definitely on the higher end once you include a topping ($6.26 total for my Medium drink), but I’ll still be back to try some other drinks.

FREE Parking in the back! Enter through 998 S Millvale ave. Delicious tea as expected. I get the classic pearl milk tea with less sugar and no ice. It's perfect.

Got the donut and bubble tea option and I picked the passion fruit popping boba. Good option for people who like fruity and less sugary drink. I liked the matcha mochi donut as well!

A very nice little bubble tea shop on Centre Ave. The atmosphere is quite good and the company’s entire branding just has a feel good feel to it. They also have a shop in Ross Park Mall. I tried out their classic brown sugar milk tea as well as a milk chocolate mocha donut. To be honest, the brown sugar boba was pretty average. There wasn’t anything too special about it. Nice and light drink, not crazy sweet, which was nice. Not much boba in it though. Price was okay. They had a donut and drink combo for a decent price. The real star of this snack break was the mochi donut. It’s got a very cool, chewy texture to it. The milk chocolate on top really added a lovely sweet touch to it. I would even definitely recommend trying one. All in all, a cute little boba shop. Decent drinks, but the mochi donuts are what are really unique and tasty.
