    Love Lucky Cat. Any time I am in Springfield I stop by here to get the BEST boba tea and desserts in the four state....and I have had a lot of boba tea. They also have very unique anime good like acrylic stands from more obscure anime. 100/10 Always a great experience.

    WOW! Missouri can do boba VERY well! As an avid boba consumer, I can attest that this is one of the best boba places I've ever been to. Not only is the shop itself beautifully decorated with various kawaii and anime items, there are so many options on the menu to try. From classic favorites, to more niche boba beverages. Additionally, they had some cool options for sweet cakes. On top of an extensive menu, they also sell various Japanese/ anime trinkets and treats. I got to try the London Fog Milk Tea and the Chocolate Brulee Milk Tea. The tea flavor itself was very rich and flowery while the boba pearls were just the right consistency and sweetness. And, they did not over fill the cup with ice. So you really get your money's worth! I highly recommend this boba spot and will definitely be back!!

    This place is amazing! I stopped here on the way to Branson once and now it’s a must have every time I’m in the area! Amazing milk tea and extensive topping selections. Not to mention the bao and taiyaki is to die for! Totally recommend!

    I’m a big fan of boba and am always excited to try new places and their house specials. While Lucky Cat has the traditional floral flavors and milk teas, they also offer yogurt teas and various boba toppings. There is a sweets display with cakes and dango, as well as steamed buns (with a vegetarian option of Chinese spinach) and Taiyaki for warm snacks. Many figurines, plush toys, and anime themed items for sale in a cozy and cute atmosphere

    Love this place! Welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and yummy food and drinks! There's seating available and bathrooms too. The TV is always playing anime, and they have lots of anime themed trinkets to buy.

    Highly recommend. Very cute store with various Asian products in addition to food and bubble tea. I had the red bean dango- this is my first time trying dango and it was really good- perfect amount of chew and sweetness. I also got the honeydew milk tea at 50% sweetness. Milk tea had really good flavor and it is slightly sweet with some earthiness at 50% (if you want sweet but just less sweet I’d recommend 75%). They also have some other food and snack options. Prices very reasonable- it was $8-9 for drink and dango.

    Super delicious! The tapioca pearl consistency is perfect - just the right amount of chewy and not hard. And it has a delicious flavor. I got the London fog milk tea with boba and the choco brulee milk tea with boba. The tea taste is perfect. And i usually get 75% sweetness at boba places but I am glad I stuck with 100% for this place. It was not overly sweet. As an avid boba lover and consumer, this boba place is definitely near the top of my favorite boba places.
