Niko Niko Boba (formerly Chatime Rosedale)

I love this place. I'd never had boba before, but my gran baby loves it so we stopped here. We got the mango smoothie with the popping boba and it was so refreshing. The employees were really nice and helpful since I wasn't sure how to order. We'll be back for sure!

Came all the way to Rosedale Mall just to try the signature milk boba tea . It was abousltly delicious ?. So the fast way to get to Niko Niko Boba is through Jcpenny, I believe on the first floor. It's next to the Playland arcade store. The service was fast , and the atmosphere was great.

The staff were super friendly and my drink was really tasty! my only gripe has to do with the self serve tablet, not at all with the staff or item i ordered. i ordered on the tablet and it gave me no option to tip. i looked at my receipt and a 15% tip was added automatically to my transaction. i just thought the drink was expensive, and i didn’t see the added tip at checkout. i’ve come to chatime many many times but maybe since their rebrand to niko niko they’ve added an auto gratuity. if theres an auto grat, it should be displayed more clearly.

I have been a big fan of boba and my favorite place to get it from was Chatime, now rebranded to Niko Niko. The servers weren’t mean or terrible at all. All I was really disappointed in were the drinks. The boba and other drinks didn’t taste the same, it was watered down, there wasn’t even the slightest taste of sweetness, and overall it was a huge let down. I was really sad because it had my favorite drink there and now I probably won’t ever go back.

So I’ll start with the fact that my drink was amazing. I have the ube creme brûlée milk tea and it was the best boba drink I’ve ever had. Now, the service was good the girl was nice. But she had only been working there three days and was working alone during a rush time shift. I had to wait nearly 25 minutes for my drink. I felt bad for her honestly. The company needs to staff two people… sort of ridiculous.
