La tea — Restaurant in Iowa City

From the moment I stepped into 'La Tea', I was enveloped in an atmosphere that was as inviting as it was aromatic. The cozy ambiance, with its subtle lighting and comfortable seating, set the stage for what was to be an exceptional milk tea experience.

The menu, a delightful mix of classic and innovative milk tea options, left me spoilt for choice. However, I decided on their signature ‘classic Milk Tea'. It was a decision I didn't regret. The tea was a perfect blend of robust flavors and creamy richness, with pearls that were the epitome of chewy perfection. Each sip was a harmonious symphony of taste and texture.

What truly sets La tea apart, though, is their commitment to quality. The ingredients are evidently top-notch, and the care with which each cup is prepared is palpable. The staff, always smiling and ready to offer recommendations, added to the overall delightful experience.

In a city teeming with milk tea options, 'La Tea’ stands out as a beacon of quality and comfort. Whether you're a milk tea aficionado or a curious newcomer, this charming establishment is a must-visit. Trust me, your taste buds...

This was my second time checking out La Tea and I really enjoyed it. It’s very open and calming with the pastel colors and cute decorations. The staff is very sweet and helpful with the menu. The mural is a nice compliment to the space.

I had the Tiramisu Cake Milk Tea and the Mango Smoothie with a Matcha Milk Cap. I LOVE all of the different textures of the cake milk… the bits of chocolate cookie/cake, the cream at the top, the chewy pearls… it was very tasty and fun if you like textures. Oh, the smoothie. It was perfect… difficult to really capture how delicious - so simple… I immediately decided it was my go-to drink there.

Very different bubble tea than any other place I’ve tried. I drove 2 hours yesterday just to share the experience with someone! I would...

Stopped here over the holidays, right away you notice the long wall of cute jewelry that is absolutely perfect for couples, the plentiful space and casual seating, and the ordering counter sat in the middle on the wall.

The process of ordering is can be confusing by just looking at the pictures and flavors on the wall. I would strongly recommend asking the employees for assistance if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed. The employees here seem young and likely won’t offer you help if you’re needing help ordering.

The drinks here are pretty and delicious, most will come in this cute bear-shaped bottle, and the prices here average at about $7.

I ordered a Mango Yakult and my girlfriend ordered a Strawberry Tornado.

Will definitely be...
