Paradise Smoothie Bubble Tea Coffee

Extremely disappointing experience. We tried 4 different drinks and they were all terrible except for the smoothie. Not sure why this place has such a good rating because the teas, milk teas, popping, and regular boba were all so absolutely terrible. I know this is a 1 in a lot of reviews, but trust when I say you should avoid this place if you want DECENT boba tea. We tried the oolong milk tea with oatmilk and it tasted like oats and water, that’s it! The boba itself tasted like water, no flavor. The popping boba were terrible quality, popped way too easily. I’m sorry, but I’ve never left a bad review ever, this was simply horrendous.

I'm a boba tea enthusiast and this is the best boba tea in SWFL! I have to drive 40min just to grab a boba tea at least once a week, because it's so yummy and totally worth the drive!

Staff is always caring, attentive, and happy to serve up deliciousness. The Boba balls (insert immature chuckle here 😉) are always fresh and the perfect texture, with such a great variety of flavors and mixtures. You gotta try the Bubble Waffle too!

Take your taste buds for a fabulous ride to boba town!

I got a strawberry and watermelon crystal strawberry boba drinks. They were perfect not so sweet and cold! The pieces of fruit in it was delicious especially the watermelon. Refreshing for this Florida heat! The barista was super nice and fast too (:

really nicely set up, great customer service, and great drinks!

So yummy boba tea!! They don’t add lots of sugar either like a lot of other places

This place is centrally located which means it brings in good amounts traffic. Sometimes that causes for someone to overlook the reviews. (ME!) I decided to treat for a good old boba tea. The milk teas that we ordered (taro, creme brulee) and shaved ice had NO sweeteners whatsoever. Literally! I freaked out and thought I had Covid because it was tasteless. Only ro find out that everyone in my party felt the same. It's unfortunate because you can't really go wrong with boba. Until you do and then you're left no other choice but to voice your opinion through a review. Some of these other low star rating reviews are not lying. I have been to other shops that ask you how sweet you want your drink. This place is has no warnings (written, verbal or otherwise) This place has great potential if only they decided to add taste to their menu. What's a variety of flavors good for if they taste like nothing. Please consider some of these low reviews if you truly care about customer satisfaction and quality of product and service.

Absolutely the worst bubble tea I've had. Ordered the honeydew and taro flavors. Took some to my boyfriend and mother in law, only to taste them and find out they're really watered down with not much flavor or sweetness whatsoever. They felt the same way, extremely disappointed as I've been wanting to give them bubble tea and for this to be their first experience was disheartening.

---- EDIT on 07-29-21: Spoke with the owner, turns out they don't sweeten their drinks as much as regular boba places do. So you have to ask for extra sweetener (not sure if its extra $) to your taste. However, the staff doesn't let you know this before hand. They use condensed milk as a sweetener so I figured it would be sweet, i guess not. I will go there again in a month and try it with more sweetener and flavor and see how it goes and will update my rating accordingly.

NOTE: So, if you plan on going, and you like your regular sweetness on bubble tea, make sure to ask for extra flavoring and sweetness so it doesnt taste watered down/watery.

I ordered a brown sugar milk tea with extra boba. I was so happy that they put extra boba in it... but when I tasted it there was no flavor. It tasted like nothing. It was just milk with flavorless boba.

BEST BUBBLE TEA IN FL. Been to multiple tea places but none of them are nearly as good as this one. The staff is kind and catering and always make the drinks equally amazing and will go out of their way to customize it to your liking. They are also dog friendly which my dog and I certainly do appreciate as we are in the area quite often and stop by. I recommend the lavender milk tea if h like something sweet but not overkill.

I was given a free drink in exchange for my 5 star review.
Service was generally good.
I got brown sugar boba with oat milk which is typically my favorite at other boba places but this tea doesn’t taste like much pretty watery and not very brown-sugary but the color of the drink looked good so I’m pretty confused?
