So I went here a few weeks ago after Recovering from a really bad sickness and stomach flu wanting to try the new Boba shop that opened in North County. I find myself an avid bubble tea drinker for five years now. One of my favorite Boba places is St. Louis bubble tea on Olive. My first impression of walking in I was very confused. It still showed stronger signs that it used to be a Papa Murphy’s pizzeria. It seems that the owners did not put any work when it comes to rebranding or remodeling they put up cheap decorations on the wall, A ruffled curtain where the prep station used to be and for some reason in February a Christmas Wreath attempting to cover the hole where the oven used to be. Not to mention walking into the tea shop, it was a scorching 90 degrees. Granted, it is cold outside But heating the establishment to the point to where it is unbearable and un-breathable is not acceptable. After ordering my Thai milk tea, I found myself confused to why the prep station is in the back. Every other bubble shop that I’ve ever been to they make the Drink and seal it directly in front of you. I asked for something very simple being a Thai milk tea it took the worker at least 10 minutes and during those 10 minutes that’s when I started to survey the decor. On top of the bland decor, I also noticed that there was a trashcan, that trashcan was absolutely filthy on the outside and in. To circle back to the decor of the restaurant, the owner did not take liberty of at least removing the wallpaper from when it was a Papa Murphy’s you still see Papa Murphy’s slogan on the wall as well as the promise to fresh baked ingredients and things of those sort. After the worker finally completed my drink, he passed me a straw, which I usually like to pick the color of, And I went back to my car and left. After a few sips of the Boba, I noticed that the tea tasted off. It did not taste pleasant it tasted different. Not only was the taste of the tea off. The Boba itself was so gritty it lacked any type of viscosity and nearly disintegrated in my mouth. After tasting that boba, I came to the conclusion that that boba was not fresh or of high-quality. I tried to finish my drink, but I was utterly disappointed and disgusted. I feel that North County would thrive specifically this area of Florissant will thrive with a high quality bubble tea shop that actually showed some type of care. With all of the surrounding development and competition, they should understand the bar has been set, and they are failing to meet. This is a bubble tea shop that I will not be returning to nor will I be recommending and I highly recommend anyone reading this to please check out St. Louis bubble tea on olive and you will be...
Read moreI’ve ordered online for pickup twice from this shop and have had very weird experiences with it. Both times, the staff member didn’t make the drink until I entered the store…which defeats the purpose of ordering online for pickup. (The store was empty, so it wasn’t like they hadn’t gotten to it yet.) Then, when handing over the drink, both times, the staff member asked me to mark the order as picked up on “the app,” and was very confused when I said I don’t have “the app” and that I just ordered online through the “order online” button that shows up on the Google map listing. They made it VERY awkward, like I wasn’t sure if they were going to let me leave with the boba I had paid for if I couldn’t mark it as picked up in an app I didn’t have. Not sure what’s going on with the point of sale system or if this is an employee who hasn’t been trained properly.
That said, the peach boba tea itself was good but a little overpriced for its size compared to other places.
All in all, I'd almost rather drive 20 minutes to other boba shops where I know I'm getting a...
Read moreI recently visited Tea N Tea Boba place and they have wide variety of flavors and toppings ensured that there was something for everyone. I tried the watermelon coconut slushy with tapioca, and it was perfectly balanced, not too sweet, with a rich, great taste. The pearls were fresh and chewy, exactly as they should be.
The ambiance of the store is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot to hang out with friends or simply relax with a delicious drink. The cleanliness and aesthetic appeal of the place add to the overall delightful experience.
Also, When I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a friendly attitude. The girl was knowledgeable and eager to help me choose a drink that suited my taste preferences. They prepared my order quickly and with great care, ensuring everything was just right.
Overall, this Boba place offers not just fantastic boba tea but also an exceptional customer service experience. I will definitely be returning and recommending this gem to all my...
