Crema's Take

Milk Lab is a vibrant Durham spot that goes way beyond standard boba, offering creative milk teas, fruit teas, and Instagram-worthy rolled ice cream that arrives looking like edible art. The welcoming staff and thoughtfully designed space make it equally great for a quick bubble tea fix or lingering with friends, and they're generous with their late-night hours for when you need that perfect evening treat. Fair warning: their signature drinks lean decidedly sweet, so don't be shy about customizing the sweetness level to your preference.

Best boba shop I’ve been too and pleasantly surprised. It was an awesome interior and a nice variety of drinks. We got Thai milk tea, strawberry matcha, and brown sugar milk tea. All 10/10. Best part was not too much ice and very good price. We got ice cream as well which was also very good. Would reccommend!

Absolute terrifying milk tea. We ordered tiramisu milk tea and sea salt chocolate milk tea. They were horribly sweet even with 30% sweet level. The tiramisu milk tea was blind and just sugar with no flavor at all. They should have put whipped cream on top of them, but there was none for both tea! Trash can is their home after one sip! I am surprised they even exist.

We’ve been to this place several times for boba tea, and it’s always amazing. They have great options—milk teas, fruit teas, rolled ice cream, and more. We’ve tried a few different items, and everything tastes fantastic. We love this place and will definitely keep coming back!

So I came here for boba and got the best ice cream I have had in like a long time. I got some for me and my little and they really make it look like a magical treat!! Meg was awesome I told her that one was for my daughter and she put topping on there that she would like. Thank you so much for amazing service.

Took my boys here to try rolled ice cream for the first time. It was a hit! Everyone loved it, the staff were super friendly and helped answer all of my questions between rolled ice cream and boba tea. The price you pay for the quality product you receive is well worth it.
