  • RESTAURANT REVIEW: Sno Boba Tea Cafe (SOUTH OKC)

     

    CUISINE: Vietnamese, Cafe, Tea/Coffee

    OVERVIEW: 8/10
    My wife and I have been coming here for over a year now after moving from Norman and losing quick access to milk teas via T.E.A. Cafe. We tried various local joints in south OKC and settled on Sno Boba because of the great milk teas, cheap prices, and great staff. 

    FOOD: 6.5/10
    I primarily try to eat gluten free stuff so I haven't tried very much of their menu, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good their Greek salad was. I was honestly expected ice burg lettuce and a few croutons from such a small tea joint, but got fresh green romaine lettuce with healthy portions of seasoned chicken, feta, veggies, and a great Greek dressing. I've eaten their spring rolls  as well during a study session and enjoyed them. They're seem non-traditional (you've been warned), but I don't get spring rolls very often so hard to say but they were good. 

    DRINK: 9/10
    You have to like the milk teas obviously, but we love milk teas and these are some of the best. We've tried just about every flavor they have and have yet to be disappointed. My wife and I's favorite is the coconut milk tea with black tea and no boba. I know it's crazy to some of you bubble tea fans out there, but we both think that boba in general tastes like snot balls.

    STAFF: 4 to 10/10 depending
    Okay this is one of the reasons we love this joint. The owner is an awesome friendly gal who we've only spoken to when we stop by but she's turned us into her advocates on a mission to make sure the place succeeds. Her along with the standard staff are great. The only thing is they get in young staff to help out now and again and none of them have never been very good. They seem to be the epitome of what old folks gripe about the young generation: lazy, rude, and not as good at making the food/drinks. However, this only has been an issue 2 or 3 times out of the many many times we stop by and hasn't stopped us from coming for our frequent mood-lifting milk tea treats.

    BUILDING/ATMOSPHERE: 5/10

    The building is very small, but well kept and comfortable. It is surround by windows on three sides that make it nice to sit in as well.

    PRICE: $
