Just recently, I stumbled upon a boba shop named ‘Cuppa Joy’ located at 2 Coney St, York YO1 9NA, which I hadn’t visited before.
As a fan of bubble tea, this discovery was a delightful surprise. With its bright colours and inviting atmosphere I was eager to find out what options they had in store.
👉 So let’s see if ‘Cuppa Joy’ would truly live up to its name and bring me a cup of joy.
My First Impressions at Cuppa Joy Boba Tea York
When I first saw ‘Cuppa Joy’, the shop’s exterior was so inviting that I felt compelled to step inside and explore their offerings.
The glass windows were adorned with playful characters and animated boba illustrations, alongside signs highlighting the variety of flavors and customization options available.
Peering through the window, I could also spot a collection of boba plushies arranged for customers to sit with and snap photos, as well as all the interior decorations that perfectly aligned with the shop’s theme.
My Experience at Cuppa Joy Boba Tea York
As I stepped inside ‘Cuppa Joy’, I was greeted by the homely and inviting decor that matched the exterior’s vibe.
The service was quick yet efficient, and the lady who served me was exceedingly polite. She patiently clarified anything I was unsure about and assisted me in choosing a drink I would enjoy.
Whilst waiting for my drink I was immediately drawn to the large mirror with the ‘Cuppa Joy’ name in glowing neon letters, and a cheerful waving cat perched on the counter.
😊 The overall atmosphere was vibrant and cheerful, amplifying the logo’s classic yellow smiley face.
My drink was served and the lady also made sure to wish me a good day as I departed, leaving a lasting impression of warmth and friendliness.
What I Ordered at Cuppa Joy Boba Tea York?
I ordered the mango fruit cooler with tapioca and an Oreo milk tea, both of which cost £5.20 each, totaling £10.40.
For the mango fruit cooler, I chose to have 30% sweetness and 30% ice, which made it less bitter and more chilled, exactly how I liked it.
My partners Oreo milk tea, had the same level of sweetness and ice, she explained it had a soothing and comforting quality to it. I found it balanced the flavors of milk and chocolate perfectly.
Would I Visit Again?
If I happened to be in town and was passing by, I would certainly make a point to stop in again to delve deeper into the menu, now that I have a better grasp of it.
Rather than opting for my usual mango fruit cooler and Oreo milk tea, I’d be excited to experiment with different flavors and customizations, since I’ve learned that you can mix and match your choices to suit your taste.
