Binki Cafe - Charlotte

Honestly, I've tried many boba places and been to this place more than once, so I have to say.....HANDS DOWN! BINKI HAS THE BEST BOBA PEARLS! consistency is the key to getting your customers coming back! I appreciate your consistency, Binki! BTW, my go-to...TARO!

Probably some of the worst Boba tea i have ever had. They certainly haven't changed the quality of drinks since last year. Their Boba tea is pure sugary and watery, that's why i never go here. Both my boyfriend and i had the milk tea and they both were either too sweet or too watery.

I see this place all the time since it's near work but never ventured in. I am disappointed in myself for that now that I have had the chance to try them out as a Yelp Elite! I got the New York Galaxy tea which came with a light up cube which makes it so fun! And it's sooooo good! So fruity and refreshing! And I opted for the spicy popcorn chicken, and my goodness it's delish! Tip: get the sweet chili sauce to dip it in, takes it up even more a notch on the delish factor.The staff was very friendly and polite. Explaining to me what I can get as an elite. I went a little bit before 2 on a Monday and it wasn't crowded, so didn't have to wait long for my items. I can't wait to come back and dry more drinks, they all looked so yummy!

We had the Halo Halo, Tokyo, vanilla ice cream cone. Halo Halo was the best thing since idk what! A young girl took our order, kept correcting whatever we ordered lol. She was not very friendly and when asked about a drink or menu item she was vague or had to ask someone else. The place was a bit messy. We still loved our items.I went back during the week at an earlier time, the place was spotless. Service was way nicer and helpful. The girl cleaning the ice cream machine was super sweet. They let us know we could order and it would only be about 15 minutes more. So we waited. We traveled there so I didnt want to miss out on the Halo Halo. The Halo Halo was delicious. I ordered some more flan because omg that is what makes the Halo Halo taste like nothing else. Its like creme brulee but its flan. So delicious and creamy. I could do without the bottom shaved ice but all in all its the best!Guys! We went back for a third time! Yes we have an addiction. Take my money Binki!!! That Halo Halo cannot be matched. Also we had the ramen it had a good flavor but yes they do seem overcooked but not horrible. We ate most of it. Probably would not order food again but def going back for my baby Halo Halo (spanish accento) ?¡YA TU SABE! We came back! Yes the fourth time. Same girlie at the front but this time i knew how to pronounce it Halo Halo!!! Ahh! So good. Like why dont all Boba places make this. Worth the travel and yes the price. You get points too! Download the app. And the girl who was there cleaning the ice cream remembered me ? i was proud to say yes i be coming way too much. But like how can you not. I did notice a difference in the Halo Halo. They added the red beans and i believe some jack fruit. There wasnt the same jellys. The taste was there but i had to remove the red beans. They were hard and had no business being in there. Lol Okay last review cuz ?

So happy to have found this place! Moving from Hawai’i where there was phenomenal boba tea this place definitely hit the spot. Bonus points for them having ube on their menu! I had the ube milky way with boba and it brought me back to paradise. I will definitely be coming back.
