Reviews
Quick service and friendly staff. It has very hard to find toppings. And so many options of tea. The cheese hotdogs waffles were so delicious and made fresh to order. Most definitely recommend checking out this tea shop.
This menu is different than the one from Fairfax (I'm not sure why) Food - I got the strawberry cheese slush with tea cubes. The cubes taste different than expected but were still very good. Service - The service was as usual, nothing bad Ambiance - The decor was pretty and they play music over the speakers. There's a hot pot store next connecting to the store so I guess you could get hot pot after drinks if you wanted (or the other way around)
I finally stopped by to check out the osmanthus tea options and it did not disappoint. Located in the shopping area near Royal Farms, there's street and garage parking available. Once inside there are two kiosks available for ordering as well as the staff. There's plenty of room to sit down and enjoy if you desire to sit down. I ordered the osmanthus super fruit cup, no ice and 30% sugar. It was delicious. The floral notes are delicate and the fruits compliment the tea. My mom ordered the lemon jasmine green tea and raved that the jasmine and citrus greatly highlighted each other. Like most places, you can customize your level of ice and sugar. Very refreshing on a hot day.
We popped in on a hot summer day and ordered: - Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea - Winter Melon Lemon Oolong Tea with Aloe Cubes - Osmanthus Super Fruit Cup with Bubbles We enjoyed everything we ordered. I liked the generous helpings of bubbles and aloe cubes (not mushy, thank you) and fruit. The fruity teas def felt a tad on the sweeter side even though we ordered 50% and 70% sugar level. It wasn't the greatest feeling to have the heat from hot pot drift over to this place (no "divider") and/or they didn't turn on the A/C. Service was ok, a bit slow since it was early afternoon and there was only one employee, but def recommend ordering ahead if you need to order and leave.
Love this place, so many options. The menu is expanding and flavors. Must try if in the area. However, service is iffy if you want to ask questions they are not super friendly. They prefer you order from the machine. Not the cutest place, cause it serves the HotPot restaurant attached to it.
