Reviews for Brick City Boba in Sanford, NC
Stopped by this place because my mom said, "Hey, I think there's a boba place back there," and I pretty much burned rubber... turning around to get to it. Boba? In Sanford?! Be still my heart! Lemme say this. This place is cute, cute, cute! Decor?Adorable. Atmosphere? Excellent. Not a ton of indoor seating, but they have tables in two places outside, including in a lovelyshaded courtyard. It was super busy when I arrived (late afternoon on a Saturday) and the staff still moved through customersspeedily. I noticed they had a drive-thru, but I wanted to look at the menu up close and personal, so I walked in. (Easyparking, btw!) The menu's extensive. They have your typical milk teas, lots of fruit teas, and even some specials listed onsandwich boards at the front of the shop (when I was there, they had drinks based on astrological signs: so cool). There's aselection of locally made baked goods at the counter. Yum! Rolled ice cream is an option too. I opted for a tiger milk tea (acombo of milk tea and Thai tea). It came out fast and was very tasty. Boba was slightly overcooked, but only slightly (hey, busySaturday, I get it), and I can tell it was soaked in brown sugar, which I should have asked about before ordering: it made thedrink much, much sweeter than I was anticipating. Thai tea and milk tea are already pretty sweet on their own, and if I'd knownthe boba was gonna kick it up a notch, I would have asked for reduced sweetness in the tea itself or maybe not gotten boba atall, because the tea was excellent. To be clear, I say this not as a critique of the business, but as a note to future customerswho may want to further customize their orders! Overall experience: very good. I would 100% try more drinks at this place, andI'm picky about my bubble tea, y'all. Small critiques: slightly overcooked boba. Sticky floor, but I'll say again, it wasextremely busy and another customer might have spilled a drink seconds before I walked in, and the staff were bu Read more
It is a nice little tea and ice cream place full of charm and friendly hosts. If in town and in love with tea is a hidden gem!
So I?ve been to this shop 4+ times and 95% of my experience has been great? but today I was so disappointed. I ordered 4 drinks.... 2 drinks came out messed up, So I politely Told them and asked if it could be fixed. The shop wasn?t busy. It wasn?t Right whenthey opened or right before they closed. When the lady came back to my car with my drink in her hand She advised that when shewas dumping my drink into a new cup that A few of the tapioca Boba (which were the wrong ones in the first place) Fell into thecup. I don?t know what her definition of a few is but 90% of the Boba in my cup was still the wrong Boba. It?s like she took afew of the new Boba that was supposed to be in the cup sprinkle it on top and sealed it. I ended up throwing it away. Superdisappointed with this place today! Read more
Friendly service and amazing drinks! I had the medium Mango Milk Tea with the bursting Mango boba. Absolutely heavenly! Sweet... yet mellow flavors that took me straight to the islands. They have nice outdoor seating areas and a drive thru. Highly recommendand will be back this weekend! Read more
I ordered rolled coffee ice cream with graham crackers, nuts and caramel via the app. I?m not a big fan of ice cream, but it was... amazing!! The price was good and the quality was perfect. I went back for another the next day! Read more
Tried the rolled ice cream and although a little pricey the service was outstanding and the ice cream was a nice change and... tasted great. Would definitely go back. We went on a Sunday at 6pm, and not a long wait. Read more
Best decaf Green tea honeydew teas. Would get multiple every other day. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend this place.... Finally, a bubble tea Cafe in Sanford. They have ice cream roll too ???? Read more
Very friendly staff & great customer service. The drinks are way too sweet though. I took multiple kids there today and all... mentioned how there was too much sugar. Unusual for kids to say that. I feel like the standard drinks are a little too sweet toenjoy. I would personally recommend maybe trying the sugar free options? I would advise this location to minimize the amount ofsugar in the drinks. Or maybe custom the amount in each drink according to the customers preference. Too much sugar is just nothealthy. But as mentioned previously, great customer service!! Read more
