Staff were friendly and store was clean! They have the best bubble drink but decided to try out mochi drinks again. I had my first one in Dublin store. Matcha mochi 10/10!! just the right combination. With less sugar option, its good for your sweet tooth but this is a healthier option Ovaltine mochi was mid. I couldnt really taste the ovaltine Taro mochi was okay too but it wasn’t the right combination for me, at least

A surprisingly great spot for milk tea in Galway! Great flavor, lots of options, and a very friendly staff. The space is a little small to sit and chat, but takeout before heading onto the train is a great option!

My favourite boba place in Ireland! offers authentic boba, and loads of choices to choose from especially Asian flavours! Tapioca and add ons you can taste it's freshly made. I highly recommend the "supreme pandan" boba The bubble Waffles Mochi boba's are good too! Friendly staff.

Had one of the waffles (think the Bischoff one) which was terrific and the Ovaltine bubble tea which was great (hard to get that one wrong to be fair). I tried the pistachio coconut one and that was not so good however. Good, fast service, polite, quite a good place to get a fun mix of drink and food.

Very good and fresh. You have to wait like 5-10 minutes to get yours, but it's worth the time. The Biscoff waffle was delicious and more than enough for 2 people!

The staff are extremely friendly and create a nice atmosphere, the bubble tea is very delicious and I've been here with my family over 5 times :) Every single time the bubble tea is amazing- it is so great that even though I do not live in Galway, we specifically come to this place for bubble tea. Only thing to consider is that there is no place to sit but that isn't much of an issue for me since you can just walk around the center and drink at the same time. Side note- the cups are very VERY durable and so are the lids, when we got something we kept the cups and have been using them for months for drinking water.
