Tea Talk — Restaurant in Town of Poughkeepsie

To really grasp how good this place is you have to go somewhere else to compare. As far as bubble tea spots I've been to 4 now and it's not even close. The bubble tea is so much better at Tea talk. Some places even made me feel a little ill. With regular tea it's a little harder to be leaps and bounds better because tea is tea. They still do better than a lot of places though because they know the different temperatures for different tea types and not to steep the tea for too long to avoid that tannin-bitterness that can happen. They're also polite, they never seem bothered by special orders/requests and the environment is super relaxing. If I had any complaint it would be that some of their fancy tables have metal drain spouts and if you're not paying attention you can smash your knee on them, my girlfriend got a bad bruise. So just keep an eye out for that. Everything else is great. They recently moved into a nicer location so it's...

I was buying a gift for someone who drinks tea and was in the mood for a bubble tea, so I stopped in last week. The shop was busy but I was helped quickly by a woman I assume is the owner. I told her what I needed and she gave me a few suggestions. I decided on 3 varieties of loose tea for the gift, which took a few minutes to fill. There’s many different offerings for the bubble tea, and I decided on coconut with black tea and passion fruit boba, which was sweet, refreshing and delicious. Overall it’s a nice shop with friendly service. I’d go again when I have more time so I could see what other loose teas they have. I like the fact that the boba cup is sealed with plastic since I had another stop to make and didn’t have to worry about spilling it on the drive home. My friend texted me after trying one of the teas and she said it...

I started coming here ~8 years ago and the pricing and quality have remained consistent. I am a big fan of their anime specials, but occasionally make custom drinks too. Outside of the drinks, I regularly get baked goods or ice cream mochi too. Their tea blends are always well balanced and they offer many flavors and types as well as samplers.

The new kiosks seem like a hit, just be aware that when the shop is super busy they sometimes don't accept orders from the kiosk.

They have recently reopened their dining room making this a great hang out spot again. Overall, this is a standard Boba tea/speciality tea place that gets busy during the evening/weekends. Would recommend people...
