I am OBSESSED with their Passionfruit Lemonade!!! It was quite frankly delicious. I add the mango pop to it, *chefs kiss*. And the guy I see working here a lot, he is so so nice. Very friendly and helpful! Their passionfruit tea is ALSO good!! Support this small biz!

Amazing, I look forward to going everytime I’m in the area! The store is very cute and the drinks are smooth and sweet (I do love sweetness which I know it’s not for everyone) but you can adjust the sweet level! The people are so sweet. Would come again!

I tried the PiΓ±a Colada Slush at Boba Whale I’m so obsesionada It’s alcohol free but still gives such a fun tropical vibe. The sweetness is just right refreshing, smooth, and not overpowering at all. It honestly tastes like a mini vacation in a cup! Plus, I love how they always decorate the Shop seasonally, it makes every visit feel special. and the cups even have a little Bahasa Indonesia phrases guide on them, which makes the experience feel extra unique and thoughtful. a Definitely one of my favorite drink to order there!! πŸ₯₯🍍

The desserts include crepes, coffee slushes, and a handful of iced or rather "es" drinks. The staff here are very friendly, and there are a handful of seats. The first time I had an Oolong Milk Tea for $5.25 with added grass jelly, which was decent. I asked for low sweetness, and the sugar level was properly low. In terms of oolong, I prefer other spots with a stronger tea flavor, but it was better than some standard spots like Vivi or others like it. Regarding the topping, the flavor was standard, and they added a lot of grass jelly, which was a plus. The second time, I had the much better Es Campur for $8, consisting of Cocopandan, condensed milk, jackfruit, grass jelly, lychee jelly, tapioca, and coconut. This was a fun spin on the usual Indonesian dessert, which is served over ice, as per the name. There was a mild floral flavor, some sweetness, and plenty o
