Was passing by the area so I thought I'll give it a try. I ordered the white peach jasmine green tea with strawberry tapioca popping balls (left drink) and it was really good! (The tapioca popping balls literally pops in your mouth when you chew it. It's something really different compared to the usual tapioca balls). I would definitely recommend trying it. I'm not really a fan of bubble tea because the ones I tried had always tasted artificial, but the white peach jasmine green tea at teapresso was refreshing and natural. You can taste a hint of sweetness from the peach, but also a bold taste of green tea - you can definitely tell it is not artificial. With the addition of the strawberry tapioca popping balls, it had the best combination of sweetness, boldness of the tea, and mild sweetness from the bubble. If you need a boost of energy, get the tea because it is STRONG. The customer service was good, and the drink was made quickly . The staff and owner were very nice. They have a lot of drink options. The owner said the rose tea was one of the signature drink of the store so I'll definitely try it the next...
Read moreThis place is okay, the staff are nice but a lot of the drinks are hit or miss. The matcha isn't of high quality, so I would veer away from it as I couldn't even finish my drink. The oolong tea was good, but you have to get little sugar so you can actually taste the tea, since the sweetener they use is very overpowering, and frankly doesn't have a good flavour. I'm not sure why this place has so many 5 star reviews, but I'm being real with you here. I've worked at The Alley so I'm pretty experienced in knowing what high quality bubble tea tastes like, and this really is meh overall. Plus, one annoyance is they fill the cup halfway with ice even when you ask for less, not even exaggerating. They claim that the tea will be too hot if they put less because they brew it fresh, but there's absolutely no way you'd need that much ice to cool a tea that's already been shaken with ice. And the ice never melted either, even after 45 minutes. I hope that they change their recipe one day so that people aren't paying for half a drink and half a cup of ice, because that alone makes it not worth it for...
Read moreDecided this was going to be my first bubble tea after some years, and what a lucky and great decision that was!
We ordered online in advance, which was very simple and easy. The customization they offer is great if you have a group with varied tastes. You can customise every drink to your exact specifications, from the most sugary cream slushie to the darkest most bitter black tea. They also have dairy-free milk substitutes, which I am incredibly grateful for!
The store itself is very nice, the atmosphere is energetic and fun. The decor is very cute and on theme. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. They were also very patient with us as we figured out how to pick up our online order!
The drinks themselves were fresh and delicious. We were able to try a slushie, a plain tea, and a milk bubble tea, and they were all great and get a thumbs up from us.
We'll definitely be back in the future, and we highly recommend it to anyone in the area, or outside it. It's...
