Tea & Tea (Orbit St | Beaverton) — Restaurant in Beaverton

TL;DR Creative and appetizing drinks, good tapioca pearls, great atmosphere and excellent customer service (shout out to Kayla!!)

I used to work in Beaverton and would come here often before I moved to another workplace and I almost never find myself in Beaverton anymore. Since day one, the Tiger Blend has been my absolute favorite and I love the mini pearls it comes with (I prefer my cold drinks blended but the iced version is just as good!). The tapioca pearls themselves are a great consistency and catch a perfect amount of sweetness. This drink has been my go-to pick me up on bad days for a minute now.

The atmosphere in the store is also very welcoming and playful. The table games at all of the seating areas are entertaining but honestly the employees are so fast at putting orders together, you’ll have your drink before you even pull out your second jenga block!

What really prompted the review was my amazing experience today. I have been dealing with some personal issues and my appetite has been suffering but ever since this morning, I cannot shake the craving for a Tiger Blend. I decided to swallow my pride and just pay the $18 to get it delivered to my work from the location not far from me (on 72nd). While I have visited other locations before and have noticed the slight difference in quality, I thought nothing of it. I’m aware it’s definitely not the biggest problem in the world, but it really did make my bad day worse when I opened the bag and found a completely different drink in there. Shortly after receiving the order, I got a call from the 72nd location saying there had been a mix up with the delivery orders and she asked if I would be able to come in to get the right drink. I had another 2 hours of my shift and what I really wanted to do was just go home. I asked what I should do to request a refund since the extra stop was more effort than it was worth and she said she wasn’t sure but she could write my name down so I could “claim” my free drink later if I wanted to stop by.

When I got off, I was ready to just forget it all but I honestly still wanted boba really bad. I decided to make the almost 40 minute drive here from my work to get it from the place I KNOW it will be great. After ringing me up, I was telling Kayla, the person who was helping me, about how much I love this location and started ranting about my experience in trying to lift my mood with an $18 boba delivery done wrong. Without asking, she comped my drink and apologized about the experience I had and it honestly made my day a bit better.

You could not pay me to say bad things about this place/this location specifically and I recommend it highly to everyone I know or even strangers. The delicious drinks and boba are more than enough to keep you coming back on their own, the atmosphere and care they put into making sure you have a great experience there keeps you from going...

Surprisingly good boba place! I got the Hokkaido with mango jelly. It’s actually really good if you want both that classic calm milk tea but with a bit of tropical fruitiness. They have a lot of different kinds of drinks, and you can adjust both ice levels and sweetness. It’s also located in a cute little neighborhood/apartment area and has other interesting restaurants in the area as well to walk around. Would recommend!

I would just like to add that this place is really good but I went today (8/27) again and the boba and the service both were pretty bad. Just thought the owner should know that the Asian and African American girl today...

I tried this little place recently and was pleasantly surprised. They had a large variety of drinks, even some I'd never seen in other boba shops. I ordered a jasmine milk tea, and it was pretty good. I do wish the tea was more flavorful, but I still enjoyed it. The boba was cooked well, soft and easy to chew. I don't believe it was sweetened, but it tasted like brown sugar. The service was quick and everyone was very friendly. I'd definitely recommend this spot to...
