Miao

I like this place. The drinks are good and the service is friendly. It’s also open until 3am. Rooting for these guys.

Love the vibes of this place! I especially enjoy being able to buy merchandise from individual/independent artists ♡

Thai Milk tea was smooth and light, yet packed with so much flavor!

Literally the best boba in Carrollton. The owner and team are super nice. It feels like home

Miao is the best boba shop!!! The best service ever with high quality drinks!! Definitely try the Calico drink! 🫶🏻

Very comfortable and social place guy at the counter is IDF approved and very good boba.

Cool location and vibes. Friendly customer service and explained the menu thoroughly. They’re in their soft opening so there isn’t much on the menu but seems like a neat space. 😊

Had these goats show up and offer free Boba tea and were super chill and willing to culture me on Boba! Give them a try and you won't be disappointed!

Wonderful experience and the drink were very good for all you can drink

the owner is super chill and funny. GREAT BOBA TOO COME HEREEEE

Had a great experience at the soft opening! Thank you for adjusting the sweetness of the Poupa tea to my taste — I really appreciated the attention to detail. I also got to sample a small shot of the Thai tea, and it’s very promising. Looking forward to trying the full version once you officially open!

I love the atmosphere here, everyone was very friendly as soon as I walked. The all you can drink concept is really nice if you plan to stay and study plus you can make your own drinks! The owner was super friendly as well, when he came out from the kitchen he even asked if them temperature was okay in the shop. :)

hello hello!! normally I don’t care enough to leave a review but dude. this place rocks!! i’m a basic boba drinker so i got a regular black milk tea with boba and normally i ONLY get from Gongcha but this place did it so so good.😭😭 I love the atmosphere and Mr. miao miao himself is so nice and honest props to him for coming up with such a great idea as AYCD BOBA. if your a student who late night studies, this is the place!! good place to study and boba!! i will be coming back!!

Amazing place great collection of collectibles. The dragon fruit refresher was delicious ! 10/10 love this place my new go to.

Two young ladies was so nice! It was nice cute spot!

The first all you can drink boba concept I've seen! It's also great that it closes at 3 am. Perfect place to hangout and support local artists who sell their merch here. SOFT OPENING Experience: There aren't any set drinks at the moment. Just a list of teas, flavors, and toppings (not listed on board but available). The strawberry and peach sweet cream were our favorites. We were told that they use homemade strawberry and peach jams for those drinks, which were wayyy better than the typical fruit syrups shops use. I loved the real fruit bits. In the future, I hope that they have some "signature drinks" people can just order. Marketing their homemade jams would also help them stand out! I also wonder if it's possible to give customers a single cup to use for drinks? That way it's easier to track who paid for the all you can drink and helps reduce plastic waste :)

I traveled all the way from the Fort Worth/Saginaw area to try this place and can say I definitely was not disappointed! The place has a very cozy atmosphere, even as someone who came alone. The person who took my order was very kind, explaining the menu and how to order. I got the Jasmine green tea with strawberry hibiscus and the Chicken Kimchi Banh mi. Everything was delicious and I'll definitely be back just for the Banh mi 🖤.

If you’re a boba lover, this all-you-can-drink spot is a dream come true! The drinks are absolutely delicious — perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and with tons of fun flavors to try. The staff is super friendly and attentive, making sure your cup never stays empty for long. What really sets this place apart is the cozy craft corner, where local artists and makers can sell their creations on consignment — it adds such a warm, community feel. And let’s not forget the playlist: pure vibes from start to finish. Whether you’re here to sip, chill, or shop, this place hits all the right notes.

Such a lovely establishment! The drinks here are tasty, space is clean and quiet, and the staff is super friendly! Love love LOVE setting space aside for local artists to sell their stuff. Definitely coming back 🥰

The tea was really good and the flan deliciously jiggly! Very cute artists works too from stickers and stationary to keychains and little figures.

This was my first time here, and the concept of all you can drink was really cool. Combined with the late closing time, this will be a fun place to visit in the future.

A great place for a late night hangout! My friends and I came here at 10 PM after work and ended up staying until 2 AM. This is a great spot if you're looking for a chill place to spend an evening. The owner and staff are incredibly kind and dedicated to making sure you have a great experience. The "all-you-can-drink" boba deal is a great value (we paid $21 for three people while having a total of 4 FULL SIZE drinks, we want to get more but we just couldn’t drink anymore…), and they encourage you to customize your drinks. The best part? They'll happily remake a drink if it's not quite to your taste! I’m very specific about my drinks so I’m so so happy about this part! Not to mention, I overheard them talking among themselves about how to improve their drinks based on customers feedbacks! But my favorite items there is the sandwich they offered! You have to try the sandwich with kimchi and chicken. Me and my friends loved it (both of them said they’ll make sure to get one again soon)! The vibe is super chill, with a great selection of board and card games (from Uno to Catan!) that kept us entertained for hours. I also love that they support local artists! I ended up buying an adorable cat keychain from a craft display they have set up (super reasonable price too! See pic below!) This place had us leaving feeling happy and already planning our next visit. 10/10 experience! We’ll definitely be back!

Miao is one of those rare opportunities to really try something new with Boba and 3rd spaces. The owner, Dennis, was very passionate about doing what he can to tailor the experience to your liking. What I thought was the most unique offering that he has is an open menu that will allow you to try and challenge him to find a Boba that suits your tastes. It is a bold endeavor that I think really sets him apart from any boba shop in the area. Along with the Boba, he encourages customers to stay and relax. Plus he has offerings that are advantageous for groups of friends to come together for a very affordable price. Great for friend groups on a budget. Even better for creating an environment that invites a good vibe. Opportunities like this don't come too often. I am interested to see what Dennis has to offer!

this new boba shop has a very live atmosphere well suited for a huge friend group! i went with my friends & did their unlimited boba deal, i didn't originally liked my drink but the worker remade it for me to something more of my liking because you can customize them. i also loved that there is an artist alley to support other art businesses! fun atmosphere, loud but heaven for an extrovert!

The first time I went here, the owner Dennis and his employee were extremely nice and welcoming!! They explained the Aycae concept and the menu despite having no set flavors and allowed us to basically diy our own drinks (which were yummy). Dennis had actually came over to us and explained his purpose of the Ayce concept and I was intrigued! I have came over many times and indugled in their boba and the owner would always ask for feedback and ask if he needs to remake any drinks!! I know there isn't a set menu but that's because Dennis and his employee's would be open to make any drinks! Kinda like a boba bar! I've heard a baja blast could be made from some previous customers...(will be trying that asap!!)

The drinks were tasty. They had a few board games available to play with friends! It really establishes itself as a good hangout boba shop. I plan on studying here in the future for the peaceful atmosphere. The shopping area has art and trinkets made by local artists; it's my favorite part of the shop!

The boba is great with so much variety. Great taste for the amount of versatility and options they offer for the all you can drink Boba. The service was also impeccable, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The place itself has a very cozy vibe to it, with a small shop inside to support local artists. All in all, a great place to stop by with your friends for a long study session and chomp on some yummy tapioca drinks. Kudos to Miao, you’ve nailed it.

Brian and Diago are incredibly kind and genuinely helpful. They crafted the best boba I've ever tasted—it's truly a delightful experience! I can’t wait to return and make this my go-to boba spot!

Discovered this place on accident and knew we had to bring our friends here. We all really love it. Never been to an AYCD boba place before, so it’s really awesome to discover one so nearby 🤩 Everyone working here has been super friendly as well! Especially Fish, who offered us more than we expected ^^

Geary good pricing came in with a group of 3 we all paid 6$ each th owner there is hella chill and cool he talks to you like a friend jokes around etc. the environment is really nice too all the other coustomers were also really cool and easy to talk to. The only complaint I have was the boba was obviously not the best best quality but tbh when u pay 6$ I don’t expect the highest quality boba but overall drinks were still good and there were LOTSSS OF OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM. I’m definitely coming back here and telling everyone I know about it

Very unique idea with the options and the boba all day combo! I love the supporting small businesses shelves <3! Drinks are okay not bad!

Edit: prices went up to $15 per person for unlimited or $7 per drink a week later. A bit pricey imo but could still be good if you plan to drink a lot of boba. Solid place to go and work and drink boba! Loved being able to try different flavors. Wish they had more snack options and maybe some vegetarian options.

Unlimited boba but not the best quality. They turn lock doors before 11:30pm even though they are open until 3am. I'm not sure why they do this. Wifi was randomly tiring on and off. Idk if it was just spotty or they were doing it on purpose. Wifi would be off for about 5 mins. Also when we would place our order for refills, it took 20-30 mins and they also was missing boba. They are understaffed and need a better method for taking orders. It seems like they are memorizing orders while taking them or messily writing them down to get lost. They should write it on the cups since they have yet to get a sticker machine.

Love the concept of AYCD boba, and when I went after NYE, the place had enough seats and I got a lot of work done. The people were nice, and I appreciate that they showcase local artists. The quality of the teas were okay. Not as good as other boba places, especially in the Carrollton area, but not the worst either. But their prices have fluctuated repeatedly in a short period of time with no warning/update. I went on Jan 2nd because I heard about it a couple months ago on social media that it was $10/person for AYCD. But it was $15 for the first person and $5 for every extra person. Fine, it had been a couple months since I saw it advertised. I had gone with one other person, so for $20 for two people was a good deal. I tried every base tea and enjoyed the Ceylon and jasmine green tea the most, but wouldn't recommend the Thai tea. However when I went again, just 6 days after my first visit, it's now $15/person for EVERY person or you can get individual drinks $7/drink. While this is about the going rate for a lot of other boba locations, it's too steep for the quality of the drinks at Miao. Also, Miao is quite far from where I live, so with the new prices it just isn't worth the trip when I could get better boba closer to me and for less. The variability too doesn't instill much confidence.

I've been here multiple times, owner is extremely nice and pleasant but unfortunately the boba pearls were very hard! The drinks did not taste the best as well, but is a decent spot to hang out and do work. The shop features an artist alley where you can buy from local vendors which I really like. Overall, my biggest issue is the drinks not tasting very good. If you want a good place to hang out, come here, if you just want some quick boba it might be best to look elsewhere.

Cute little boba tea shop that is tucked away in shopping center that has All you can drink option. It’s pretty pricey for individual drinks for reglar size and only honey boba option. The young girl couldn’t get my less sugar ratio because my peach jasmine tea didn't taste good with only 60% full in the hot cup. It took her about 20minutes for her to fix the peach flavor and add. more tea since I told her she didn't have to remake it. Great little study and/or hang out place. There were lots of cute trinkets in their shop and bench seatings with dry erase board.

First time trying this place. We got some Thai teas and boba. Both the teas and boba are overly sweet and the Thai tea tastes weird. The guy was nice enough to add extra tea to adjust the sweetness though.

I went yesterday and literally the WORST BOBA IN THE WORLD. Its an all you can drink type of boba place and it sucked. First off, the guy working there was the rudest unprofessional person ive ever met. Ignored me the whole time and just started talking to his friends. Oh by the way was just cursing the whole time with his friends and being very disrusptive. All the five star reviews you see are all fake. Never go here please.

This place is a good example of why you shouldn’t trust everything you see online. Tasteless drinks and unflavored tapioca pearls with no menu or obviously a recipe. So confused why this place has 5 stars then look closely to see how botted all of the reviews are and from the previously place DaBoba. The “owner” of the place spoke to us immaturely and treated us unseriously, prioritizing his friends as they cut us in line and kept chatting with them, instead of paying customers promised an all you can drink experience. Would not recommend to anyone unless you are friends with the owners: then you will be treated nicely.

Not sure why this place has 5 stars ? Place doesn’t even have a menu or price explanation on paper/a sign. Owner is making up every drink as he goes, with no recipe and the sweetness and taste is very inconsistent. We were also given a price but when it was time to pay he gave us a different more expensive price. Boba tastes like nothing just straight tapioca with no flavors at all. Owner was sleeping at a table and cursing with his friends while customers are in store. His friends were extremely disruptive and loud, and seem very entitled and even cut us in line when we waiting for a decent amount of time. Felt extremely unprofessional and disrespectful.
