WUCHA MEADOWLAND 悟茶 — Restaurant in Howick

A Hidden Gem and Total Lifesaver!

We were wandering around looking for somewhere to chill, but everything nearby was closed—except for WuCha Bubble Tea. And honestly, it turned out to be the perfect spot. Total lifesaver!

From the moment we walked in, the vibe was exactly what we needed. The space had this cool camp-style aesthetic—really unique and cozy, like a modern outdoor lodge but indoors. It felt like a little escape from the noise and busyness of the day. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxed, making it a great place to hang out, catch up, or even just unwind on your own.

The bubble tea? Top-notch. You can tell they use quality ingredients because the flavors were clean and balanced—not overly sweet, and the pearls had that perfect chewy texture. It’s one of those places where you can actually taste the difference. We tried a few different drinks between us, and each one was a hit. They clearly put thought into their menu and presentation too.

What I appreciated most, though, was how quiet and comfortable it was. So many bubble tea places are either too cramped or too loud, but WuCha struck the perfect balance. Whether you’re looking for a casual hangout or a place to get some work done over a good drink, this place has you covered.

All in all, we went in just hoping for something open—but we left feeling like we’d found a new favorite. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more flavors and soak in that chill vibe again. Highly recommend WuCha if you’re after quality bubble tea and a great environment...

Drinks are well made and well priced. Never had any issues and always found my orders correct even if I ask for things like less sugar, no ice or extra topping. Good buzzer/paging system in place to notify you when your order is ready, allowing you to browse other places in the area. Premises is clean and tidy with seats for small or large groups by moving the tables around, or there is a bench with stools or standing options. The only critique I can offer is that staff be more friendly and welcoming. Only a handful of times have I seen someone smile. On most visits - it's almost as if they're not interested in being there. Also, the large plastic sheet covering the register area where you order is ridiculous as sometimes the staff or the customer have to repeat themselves multiple times due to the sound being blocked. Even then - the staff give you the drinks in hand so kind of defeats the purpose of having the massive sheet there? Still will recommend this place and...

Tonight I tried getting some tea for me and my friend at this place, and was met with one of the rudest customer service I’ve ever had here in Auckland. Before even ordering, I was explaining to my friends what drink I previously had from WuCha in botany junction that I recommend, and the lady at the counter would already shout that they don’t have it without even greeting me. I didn’t mind at first but when I try to order another drink, she straight away shout no to my face. I know today might’ve been busy today or she might be going through something but I do think the company should still keep a professional attitude at work. I told the lady that we won’t order anymore, and that she didn’t have to be so rude.

There are 4 other tea place in Meadowland area, I recommend to go to those instead. Quite disappointed as I’m extremely a fan of this place. If you still want Wucha, highly recommend the botany junction one around 15 minutes drive from there, their service is...
