The Blue Corner

although before getting this i did read the reviews and saw how bad it was i really didn’t expect it to go below the standards i’ve already set /​/​-​: should’ve known better, never again. they even got my order the wrong the first time although it was super simple, milk tea with coffee jelly, luckily i noticed there was nothing in it. the drinks left a gross taste and feeling on my tongue just blahhh its grodi)))-:

This place is beyond awful! I wish I could give them 0 stars, or even negative stars!!! My friend and I were casually walking around KP when we saw this place. Being we love boba, and have tried every boba place in the sacramento and surrounding area, we were very excited! It is important for boba, especially the milk tea, to be made with real milk. My friend and I waited in line, there were a fair amount of people in line as well, when we got to the front we very clearly asked the worker «Do you guys use real milk in your milk tea?» and the man quickly ensured us it was. However, as soon as we paid we saw the workers dumb powder into our cups! They lied! And also tons of powder buckets behind the counter, nothing here is real or authentic! You could even see the powder floating in the drink. By far the worst boba my friend and I have ever had in our lives, threw them out after 2 sips, before we even left the shopping center. Sure the price is cheap but its cheap because well its cheap. AVOID AT ALL COSTS, WORST BOBA EVER

Terrible customer service and being out of boba should have deterred me from placing my order. They’re located inside a huge grocery store and to be out of boba is pretty ridiculous. Also the drinks were very powdery and pricey.

Expensive, slow service, and POWDERY drinks!!!
I do not recommend trying this place after paying a dollar extra for OVER COOKED BOBA and drinking powdery tea!!!
I ordered a medium mango milk tea ($ 3.75)
An additional $ 1.00 for boba (expensive)
total came out to $ 4.75 for a medium sized drink… yikes
THEIR MILK TEAS AND SNOW BUBBLES ARE POWDERED BASED!!! (Not fresh whatsoever)
This place is usually busy and one person handling all of the drinks so you should expect slow service…

Looking at previous reviews I ordered with trepidation. I ordered a Royal Milk Tea. It was okay. Came out quick. Premade as another Unilocaled prior. Just had to add milk. Which is fine if it tasted awesome. It’s just okay. Royal milk tea is usually packed with flavor.
I think the price is s factor. When you price your boba way above the going rate expectations are higher. $ 1 for extras which is double the going rate. Also they don’t take the KP points as payment which I was sad about. Waitress wasn’t the friendliest either. Presentation is lacking but if it was delish this wouldn’t be an issue.
Plus side my drink wasn’t grainy as another Unilocaled. Convenient location.

I forgot the drink I ordered but it was so awful that I gave it away to my friend and we ended up throwing it away afterwards without finishing it.

The prices for boba are terrible! The most expensive boba place I’ve ever been to. For two milk teas with boba (boba is $ 1 extra) it came out to almost $ 11! Holy crap, and there’s only one person working this busy place during the day so I had to wait at the counter for around 15 — 20 minutes (not exaggerating) watching the lady run around and make drinks before I got to order. Please lower the prices and have more workers, this place could get way more busy considering in that time more than 5 people left the line because it was taking so long.
The milk teas weren’t even good either. Please don’t waste your money here, the only thing that I admired about this place was the worker. She was super nice.
But really, try a different place.

Wow. It was so bad gave the drink back after 1 sip. If you care to know, they just use a powder mix.

Worst milk tea I have ever had. Overcooked boba’s. Artificial tasting milk tea. Powdery taste!!! And too expensive for the quality. Enough sitting area to hang around.

This boba shop is located in the KP International Food Court (next door to Nature Republic). Plenty of seating in the food court seating area. No outdoor seating.

Large Taro Milk Tea
Large Fresh Brewed Coffee
Artificial and powder tasting milk tea. Expensive for the poor quality of the drinks. Plus $ 1 for toppings?! Never seen any place charge that much (even in NYC/​SF!). At least they came out quickly. Wouldn’t recommend coming here.
Credit cards accepted

New boba shop located inside the KP international Market. Very hip place to be but not this particular shop. The drinks are really expensive here and I feel like they are trying to be like Quickly’s which I don’t like. I probably won’t be coming back here.

Oh man! i have boba like almost every day and really. i’ve never tasted one as weird as the drink i had here (avocado milk tea). i described it to my bf as tasting like an alien. he told me maybe i’ll just get used to it. but the more i sipped it, the worse it got! it tastes as off as it looks– neon bright green! i should have stuck with the basics like boba milk tea or taro, because my bf’s milk tea was fine. when i tried to ask the cashier if i could switch it because i didnt like it, she first said something like «its avocado powder, did someone tell you something else? its powder» .um so as confused as i was, i asked if i could get another drink instead, and she said «well ok but you have to wait 20 minutes» fine with me! got boba milk tea and it was alright, they were out of boba or any toppings tho -.-
don’t order the avocado milk tea.

Overcooked boba. Chalky drink Medium taro milk tea with added boba is close to $ 5.

Definitely doesn’t satisfy your cravings and highly overpriced. My sister and I got the Honeydew & Mango snow. I didn’t know they charge $ 1 for boba unless I was blind and didn’t see a sign. The girl with the mole on her forehead or whatever that thing was, needs a class or two in customer service.

This place is absolutely horrible. We came here asking of they had a Mango Black Tea. A simple «I’m sorry we don’t have a Mango Black Tea», no the young girl «Maggie» laughed in my wife’s face after she asked, and sarcastically she said «No, we have Black Tea.» Clearly the young girl, if that’s even her name, needs a little help working with customers. All it takes is one bad experience for someone to ruin an organization’s reputation. Is it worth it to you? I would think twice. One star does this place no justice. Anyways, this place will never see us as customers ever again. We’ve been here before & our experience has been great. Unfortunately we will not be back again. If the manager/​owner reads this review I would suggest a discussion with this young lady.

My first visit to kp was such a disappointing boba experience. Don’t come here and expect a decent tasting boba drink because they won’t deliver. Service was extremely slow (one person working), they were out of everything and by everything I mean everything except for milk tea, and our drinks tasted extremely sweet and artificial. It was disgusting.

Yes, Rancho’s boba scene is definitely lacking, but I don’t see myself EVER being desperate enough to get boba from here again.
The Blue Corner is located in KP International’s food court, and while I love KP, I definitely cannot say the same for their boba café. I was already quite suspicious of them when they first opened — what place charges an extra $ 1.00 to add boba?! That better be the best boba I ever tasted!
Finally, we gave in and decided to at least give it a try once. Their menu consists of milk teas, smoothies, snows, and some flavored teas. We ordered a large royal milk tea with boba to share, and it all went downhill from there:
First of all, our total was $ 5.45 FOR ONE DRINK.
…RIGHT? And it’s not as if the cup size was especially large either, maybe the size of a regular at Cool Tea Bar. There wasn’t anything particularly nice about the cup itself, no logo or design, and no sealed lid. The royal milk tea and boba were okay, but definitely NOT worth the price in quantity or quality. We literally saw the employee pour the milk tea from a jug behind the counter and bring it to us. How they can charge such exorbitant prices, I have no idea!
In any case, while we adore KP (and their insanely cold air conditioning in the hot summer), we unfortunately don’t hold the same affection for their boba café. It is a little sad to see a place that had so much potential (prime location, target population) fall so short… makes me want to go sit in a dark blue corner myself.

Was kinda excited to try this boba spot since it’s the closest boba joint near my house.
They have sizes that ranges from small to large. I got the small matcha milk tea with lychee jelly and my BF got the large honeydew milk tea with boba. It’s $ 1 extra to add boba/​jelly which is pricey compared to other boba places like tapex, quicklys, etc.
My matcha milk tea w/​lychee had a very interesting/​different taste to it, but I liked it, it wasn’t tooo bad. Not sure if it’s the combo of matcha tea and lychee together that made it different or the tea itself. For some reason I thought it had a coffee taste to it.
My bfs honeydew milk tea on the other hand was not good. I tasted it and I did not like it at all. It was really watered down and did not taste like a milk tea at all! Not sure if she (cashier/​worker who made our drinks) forgot to add the milk to it or what but it just tasted like water with a bit of honeydew flavor to it. He also said he could taste the powder when took his first sip…
I do have to say that the boba was nice and soft and the lychee jelly was good. But overall, the drink wasn’t anything special.
I checked my receipt afterwards to see if she accidentally put us down for a regular honeydew tea instead of a milk tea since it lacking a milk tea flavor, but our order was correct. Our total was $ 9.40

I love this place. The drinks are very affordable. I only paid $ 2 for a regular milk tea. Jasmine tea is authentic and they use whole milk instead of creamer so it’s not too sweet. Today, I got the taro snow and it was awesome. Boba add-​ons are $ 1, which is a bit steep. Sometimes the wait isn’t quick if there is one person and mocha drinks are standard pricing of $ 4.

Blah… The drinks we ordered were not good at all… They were really runny and tasted too artificial! Blah…
We ordered two strawberry smoothies: one with lychee jelly and the other with mixed jelly SINCE they were out of boba!!! U kidding me, a boba place who runs out? That’s a no no! Tapioca express would never run out!
The last drink we ordered was a mango smoothie… Same thing… Too runny…
Service was mediocre… They didn’t even speak English very well and didn’t looked like they had enough training…
Will not be returning… Tapex, lolicup, and quickly are better options!
