FOOD INSTAGRAM: @northtx.gemz •••• 🍒 WHAT THEY’RE KNOWN FOR: if you love TeaLatte in Carrollton you will love this location since it’s the same franchise! I personally like this one better because it has a larger space to study at. They have a lot of different seasonal drinks to try and choose from. It’s technically in Richardson but the map says Dallas. Double check the location it’s near UTD! 🍒 THE VIBE: AMAZING study space bc tons of outlets! Also, a great place to gather with friends after a meal to play some board games! 🍒 PRICE: gifted 🤍 🍒 WOULD I COME BACK? Yes. •••• Overall Rating: 10/10 Loved this cute spot located near UTD. After being invited by the owner (who is a full time nurse btw!!!), I was only greeted with kindness and gratitude. The hard word Leah puts into your business is showcased through the detail in decor of her boba shop! Leah also owns @elevatedcoffeetea if you are in the area to try some great coffee and they also sell the viral Dubai chocolate there too. The Wintermelon bliss was absolutely refreshing! It was the perfect amount of sweetness and with the choice of herb jelly or aloe jelly paired with chia seeds your digestive system will thank you 🤣 The Waikiki sunset is a crowd favorite because of its beautiful colors from the butterfly pea tea. It’s a lemonade base for my lemonade lovers. The mango lychee drink had so much flavor! I asked for less sweetness but tbh I feel like full sweetness would’ve tasted so much better because it does have sparking water in it. The mango stars were the cherry on top. Overall, a great business that sells boba and has a convenient study space with...
Read moreBest Boba shop!! Today I went in on my lunch break to pick up some teas, but the regular boba was not ready because I came soon after they opened. Instead I got crystal boba for my co-workers and I, and I was already shocked that the owner, Leah (sp?), offered to deliver the drinks to my work when the boba was ready!! We all ordered rose teas which is highly recommended!!! Shortly after I returned to work, the owner went above and beyond, bringing us a whole new set of teas with boba (with some specials sweets, too). This was extremely kind and unexpected and it made our day. I like tealatte for their fresh teas, variety, and great customer service. They will always have our business if we are in the area :)
update: TeaLatte Bar has been my go-to for a year now, and I can't find better in the area! There is such a great selection of teas and coffee drinks with unique flavors too. The owner, Lea, is super kindhearted and cares about all of their customers. I will always keep coming back! I love how this small business supports local venders with collaborations on the weekends. They also offer pastries from La Casita, which I love. I often get Rose Black Milk Tea or Jasmine Cheesefoam Tea. Their tapioca pearls are cooked very well and are usually warm when you first get your drink. Yum! I love coming here to study. There's a good amount of seating. The decor is super cute and they have games to play if you come with friends. Come visit...
Read moreFresh and delicious brew to order drinks. TeaLatte Bar stand out among the dozen other spots in the area because they make your order right when you place it. Other boba spots will brew batches of tea early in the morning and use the same batch throughout the day, making the quality inconsistent. I typically only get fruit teas in general since many places will do a poor job at mixing the non-dairy which results in powdery milk teas - this isn’t the case for TeaLatte as they use purely just milk & alternative milks (from what I’ve experienced so far).
You can never go wrong with their Thai Milk Tea if you want something creamy and bold in flavor. If you want something sweet and vibrant, definitely give their organic lemonades a try (The one in the photo is their Strawberry Lilikoi)
The store recently added more seating area, which makes it great for summer hangouts or group study sessions. Staff was super nice and the establishment was well...
