Frooties

Severely disappointed in the bubble tea. There is only a smoothie option, not the regular milk tea that I’ve had in all other places. The flavors are all in powder, very sweet, chemically flavored form. The aftertaste lasted for at least ten minutes. The tea, if there was any, is only in powder form of an unknown variety. The bubbles were harder than I’ve ever had before.
They are very friendly here. But it is so easy to make a real steeped jasmine milk tea of only one flavor that would be a thousand times better than this crap. There are so few options of bubble tea in this city, i wish I could find a good one.

My girlfriend loves the honeydew bubble tea. Not always perfect but it always cheers her up. Definitely worth a try even though it is quite pricey.

The new owners are great! Always someone behind that stand now =) Very helpful with finding new ideas to mix up your bubble tea, I like mixing coconut and red bean with their tasty tapioca. Yum.

This is purely a review for their bubble tea. I heard through the grapevine that their boba tea was good and was hoping to finally have a place in Milwaukee that actually makes good boba. This is most definitely not that place.
I can’t really find anything good to say about this place unfortunately. The boba itself is terrible. It’s probably the first boba I’ve ever had that doesn’t have a chewy center. Each tapioca ball is just a piece of mush that’s barely held together in the shape of a ball. Even day old boba has a firm, hard center so this must be either REALLY old or just cooked plain wrong. The milk tea «flavors» are basically all in powdered form stored nicely in tupperware in plain view so there is no confusion about just how fresh your beverage is. This creates several problems: of course the flavor is much more artificial and doesn’t taste fresh at all, but also powder does not dissolve well in cold beverages with ice, no matter how much you shake it. Needless to say the drinks were powdery. Finally, from what I could tell, the «tea» portion had no discernible taste of tea at all. In fact, one of the drinks was pale white compared to the classic tell-​tale tan/​hazel color that bubble milk tea usually is. If there’s any trace of tea at all in there, it’s minimal. To top it off, it’s expensive, $ 4+ for a small.
Maybe their smoothies are better.

I want to give this place 5 stars solely based on the fact that I’m pretty sure the next closest place to get vegan soft serve is in Chicago. However, after going there for my third time tonight and this being the second time that their soft serve machine stops working, I am disappointed and worried that they are not going to make it when they have to turn customers away on the regular.
When the soft serve machine IS working, however, the non-​dairy soft serve is delicious! It is creamy, sweet and overtly vanilla. They load candy mixers with toppings too! And if you get a cone (only $ 2!), they are the opposite of stingy.
The woman who was working tonight when the machine stopped was extremely apologetic. She offered me two BOGO coupons and was genuinely upset about not being able to take care of me.

This is the little kiosk that could. This is coming from a vegan so I’m a bit biased, but as far as I know, Frooties is the only place in Milwaukee that serves vegan soft-​serve ice cream. They’ll even do blizzard style with Oreos and shakes with real fruit. Only drawback is that their soft serve machine wasn’t working right so we had to come back 30 minutes later. Was worth the wait though!
Better yet — it’s super cheap! Cake cone for $ 2 and waffle cone for $ 3!

Not bad for a food kiosk in the mall.
I’d like to try out the wraps they were offering.
Take note — the large is like SUPER GULP large!
