Ma’s Tea House — Restaurant in Albuquerque

Honestly was not my cup of tea, literally and metaphorically. As an avid boba drinker I believe this was a horrid take on the drink itself. Personally, wouldn’t recommend.

Response to whomever it may concern: The drink I’ve had tried are as follows; classic milk tea, iced chai, a coconut shake that appears to not be on the menu anymore, and creamy avocado. First off, I went with the classic milk tea to be safe but it was bland and is not what you expect for a milk tea. It seemed like it was mainly water rather than tea OR milk. Then I got the creamy avocado shake because that’s not something you can go wrong with while my friend got the coconut one. Once again, it was very bland and more milk than actual avocado. My friend enjoyed her drink but I’ve noticed she like stuff on the blander side of things, which I’ve called her out for multiple times, so I guess if you like stuff like that this is a great place for you. I didn’t like it hence why I DON’T recommend. Lastly, with the iced chai I was given a hot sample which I enjoyed and advertised that it’d taste the same iced. I didn’t enjoy the iced one. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve tried to give this place multiple times as it’s near to my house hoping it’d change my mind after a while. Then to be attack from a single REVIEW just shows how mature the “owner” is, with the inability to take criticism. I thought he was a genuine person until now. Maybe this will show people a different side of things. Continue to go off on those “bad” reviews rather than taking the...

Update in response to the owner: I bought an Oatmilk Rose Matcha with Tapioca Boba and it came out to over $9, nearly $10. I literally walked in to an empty place with a nice, quit and shy cashier girl who explained that all of their black teas are premixed with dairy and that some drinks that aren't black tea can potentially be mixed with oatmilk or almond milk. I dont even know what the owner is even talking about, referring to me being rude, condescending, and defensive walking in because THEY WERENT EVEN THERE. LOL. Nobody was even in the shop except for the cashier girl and I, and the exchange was pleasant and normal between us. Obviously, the owner is living in some delusional world charging such ridiculous prices for boba, coming up with ludacris fake scenarios, and ironically is the rude, condescending, and defensive one here. I'll change my review from two stars to one star for the unprofessional delusional owner's response. Enjoy your "profit margin" that literally doesn't exist when customers don't return. FYI, there's no profit when you don't make sales. LOL

Original review: $10 for 1 boba drink is ridiculous! No wonder they don't have any prices listed anywhere on their menus! Starbucks isn't even this expensive for a Venti cup of oatmilk with some matcha in it. Literally the most overpriced boba place that I have...

UPDATED REVIEW BELLOW:

INITIAL REVIEW: The service was great. I feel as an introvert they could be less pushy with the sampling. The shop was a cute cozy spot giving relaxed vibes, much like the paradise location. Drinks are definitely a luxury not a daily affordable habit. The tea its self was amazing. I got a kiwi tea with strawberry jelly and the passion and peach popping boba. Not sure what my daughter ordered but she wasn’t a fan. Let me tell you they are absolutely delicious!! I would highly recommend signing up for their points program!!

UPDATE: After going on another occasion and discussion with the Boba Man, I was convinced to reorder the taro drink without all the fruity toppings my daughter added. Once we did we all fell in love with the drink. I will say after going to the establishment several times I now appreciate the recommendations and samples from the Boba man. I’m not a very social person so at first it was uncomfortable but he is very knowledgeable in his products and converses with you about who you are in a drink and what you may or may not enjoy. This place is awesome. My husband, my kids, and I all love the drinks. FYI I got a pineapple-whip this last time with strawberry pop and mango stars (the last picture) and it’s was delicious! I believe it may be superior with...
