Review methodology and evidence standardsThe editorial take
Daruma Ramen Bar & Grill runs a deep nonalcoholic beverage program that goes well past the usual soda fountain. The Boba Tea section lists milk and fruit teas at $6.99, with named builds like Daruma Boba Tea, Thai Boba Milk Tea, and Taro Boba Tea, each finished with yogurt popping boba. A separate Hot Beverage section covers hot tea, coffee, mocha latte, and hot milk teas. House-made Cucumber Lemonade and Thai Iced Tea anchor the cold side at $6.00, while Ramune and Calpico add Japanese soft-drink options.
- What should I order?
- Start with a boba tea: Daruma Boba Tea (black milk tea with yogurt popping boba), Thai Boba Milk Tea, or Taro Boba Tea, all $6.99. For something cold and house-made, the Cucumber Lemonade or Thai Iced Tea at $6.00. If you want a hot drink, the Hot Matcha Green Tea with whipped cream is $6.00.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants a serious nonalcoholic drink list alongside a meal: boba tea fans, people who prefer house-made lemonade or Thai iced tea, and those looking for Japanese sodas like Ramune or Calpico.
- When should I go?
- The menu covers both hot and cold beverages, so it works for a midday boba tea or a hot matcha later in the day.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Nonalcoholic drinks are priced clearly: boba teas $6.99, house-made lemonade and Thai iced tea $6.00, Calpico $5.50, Ramune $4.50, hot matcha green tea $6.00, and sodas, teas, and juices from $3.00.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The nonalcoholic list is unusually broad for a ramen bar: a full Boba Tea section, a Hot Beverage section, Japanese sodas, Calpico, and multiple house-made drinks, with prices listed for every category.
