I really enjoy the snacks here, but you have to watch certain things. One is that once we got a green tea roll that had mold on it. The lady apologized and replaced it, so that wasn’t a huge problem, just something to be on the look out for with the packaged snacks in the case. The second is that when ordering a crêpe, I was asked what type of ice cream I wanted with it. Usually, when phrased this way, it means that it is coming with the dish.(ex: What side would you like with your dish?) I took a look down at the menu for flavors, and realized it was a $ 1.00-$ 1.50 extra, depending on what flavor you wanted. I said I did not want any and she informed me that it comes with it. I asked, am I paying a dollar more than the price listed for the crêpe, and she said yes. Therefore, the ice cream does not«come with» the crêpe, it is an add-on. Best case is that this was a communication barrier and she did not understand when something is part of a dish, versus paying extra for an upgrade, worst case, it’s a deceptive practice. I know some of you might think, «Well, it’s only a dollar,» but I hate hidden charges and fees and when places try to get one over on people to make more money. A better way to phrase this(like most places do) would have been something like, «Would you like to add ice cream for $ 1.00 more?» Otherwise it sounds like they are trying to be deceptive and hide the charge. I would recommend the crepes(delicious and large, with nice amounts of filling) and the toasts. I had the sweet butter toast and what a treat that was! I will definitely try more things on their menu.

really happy to find as place that serves boba and asian desserts somewhat near to home! i got bubble tea, which was really creamy and totally satisfied my craving, but the tapioca pearls were a bit softer than i typically like. i also shared a strawberry lovers honey toast which was really yummy but a bit shorter that i expected. next time i’ll try the sweet butter toast, though. can’t wait to come back and try another flavor of bubble tea(rose or earl grey maybe?) and some mochi or shaved snow. the only negative was that it smelled a little weird inside.

I’m officially addicted! This is truly a hidden gem. The hours of operation are fantastic so if you’re looking for a late night snack, this is the place. The ambiance is modern, trendy, new and immaculate. The quality is fantastic. Ingredients are fresh and homemade. In addition to their dessert offerings, they have savory crepes. Bubble teas aren’t powdery like many places. I’m beyond ecstatic that we now have this in Groton. I usually have to travel to NYC or Boston for this type of menu. I almost forgot to mention that they have board games so this is a great place to hang out with family & friends!

I like this place a lot. I hope they do well and stick around. Large variety of drinks and deserts with a cool interior. My wife is from Thailand and missed having something like this around. Recommend taro milk tea.

I’m so happy there is a bubble tea place so close to my house! We couldn’t really find any while we lived in Charleston. I tried the taro milk tea, and it was delicious! I will be going back to try more flavors in the near future I’m sure. I wish they would have had a take home menu to pick up, but she said they were out at the moment. No biggie.

Great Thai iced tea with bubbles! I believe they use real tea and not powdered tea for their Thai tea. Their snow cream is fluffy and not super sweet as ones I’ve had in other places. We had the taro and mango snow cream. Good portions but for the price I would’ve expected at least one topping would be included like other places(which would have two toppings). This is an unexpected place to see in the mystic area since it’s not common even I. nyc. Glad to have found this!

We had taro snow with mochi and honeydew bubble tea. The snow was delicious! Delightful flavor and texture. The honeydew flavor was very sweet and fruity but the boba was good– not chewy or weird. Good stuff! Will return.

Thank you SnoTea for having«taro» flavored sno! I grew up in Hawai’i, about 20 minutes from Aoki(now closed) and Matsumoto shave ice. I get homesick for all of the amazing food I grew up with. Adzuki(red beans) plus condensed milk? Yes please! I cannot wait to go back and try more of their treats. If you want a cross between shave(d) ice and frozen yogurt, look no further.

This place is fantastic. It is new and Groton needed a place like this! I love their bubble teas of all flavors especially the coconut. We just tried the«snow» ice cream today! It was delicious even my 1 year old son loved it! The staff is always friendly and helpful and willing to answer any questions you may have about their food! We go at least once per week!

I ordered earl grey tea with boba and taro shave ice with lychee jelly, grass jelly and with flavored mochi. Both were extremely delicious. I definitely recommend this place– it’s clean, with lots of Asian bake goodies, and delicious milk tea’s. I am crossing my fingers for this business to stay open. I can’t wait to come back!

Halo-halo and shave ice from Hawaii really set the bar high for me on frozen delicacies, but for a place like Groton, this place is A-OK. They have ample selections, customizable to fit your tastes, and items other than frozen for those liking for something a little more toothsome. I had the Taro with mochi, red bean, and other yummies, along with aan egg custard tart that was AMAZING. They were out of a lot oof the other things that I wanted to try, but the lady said they’re just waiting on the next shipment out of hong kong. My girlfriend and her husband had the taro snow and thai tea with boba, both of which looked good. Next time I’m going to try their toasts which sound interesting, and their green tea roll up cakes or crepes. Interesting idea, and I’m curious to see how they do in a relatively white-bread area like Groton with such culturally specific foods.

We happened to notice this place as we were driving by and it seems like they just recently opened. They have a nice variety of desserts ranging from bubble tea to macaroons. We decided to try the green tea milk with boba and she also let us try the«ice», which is basically fluffy ice cream with a little texture. The green tea milk was not too sweet(just how I like it) and had a nice green tea flavor. The ice we tried was taro flavor and it was delicious! We liked it so much much that we are going back tomorrow to get some. It had a great flavor and a smooth finish. I can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!

Today was our first visit here. We had the taro flavored tea with boba, Thai flavored milk tea, taro smoothies with boba, and some mocha ice cream. All get rave reviews!!! But when I saw my daughter and son-in-law order of taro smoothie with boba, I wished I had ordered that instead. They have a little counter with some Asian baked goods. We broke down and bought the vanilla(yummy) and the green(ok — — vanilla is better) tea sponge cakes, as well as a cream puff. The menu is quite large, even though it is very basic — — snow, hot & cold teas, flavored milk teas, flavored jelly ice, & flavored smoothies. Toast, macaroons, crepes and other baked goodies. And about 6 different flavored Mochi ice creams. We’ll be back to try some taro snow and maybe a taro smoothie!!! Other flavors are Honey dew, coffee, chocolate, strawberry, mango, passion fruit, lychee, red bean. Really, it’s just a spot to pick up a quick refreshing drink. Sorry, don’t know the hours. Enjoy!!!
