Tsaocaa — Restaurant in West Lafayette

What a delightful bubble tea place! We tried 3 bubble teas during our experience today. First was the Brown Sugar Tea, which was pleasant, I would recommend 100% sweetness (SIDE NOTE: they let YOU CHOOSE how sweet you want it - 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%) because it’s brown sugar tea so the flavor is literally sugar, and it wasn’t as flavorful as some other places I’ve been (we chose 75% for it). The second was coconut pudding; the flavors were mediocre but the pudding was a weird addition that I would not recommend, and it wasn’t as cool and delicious as it sounded. We also chose 75% sweetness for this drink and mango poppers. The final drink was Taro Milk Tea , and my GOSH was it SPLENDID! I highly recommend it as it was such a lovely blend of flavors I haven’t experienced before and I would get it again any day. The workers helping us were friendly and considerate, explained everything and gave recommendations; overall, they were amazing. The atmosphere wasn’t cutesy which I liked for a change, and was relaxing and modern. The tea was 9/10, the experience was 10/10!, we’ll...

Tsaocaa only uses the best ingredients and materials in their operation and it really shows. I have been there dozens of times and never received an incorrect item. I have tried every competitor in town, both more expensive and cheaper and they just don't stack up in the end. The cups they use are sealed extraordinarily well, and can take a beating without spilling a single drop. My last trip to Tsaocaa I had 3 drinks in carriers on the floor of my car. I had to slam my brakes, and all three containers tumbled forward. 2 of them were literally upside down when I grabbed them and the other had rolled away and under the seat. In the end, not a single drop was spilled from any drink, including my two bubble teas that were legitimately upside down. My personal favorite is their oreo cookie special bubble tea with 75% sugar, my wife is in love with their mango slushie with mango jellies. Great date option, as the green tea isn't overwhelming for the caffeine sensitive, and you will spend less than $10 per...

Drinks are good, however the owner’s attitude is not acceptable. I went and got the drinks then asked one of my kids to go get some straws. He went and got 3 straws sitting at the ordering machine without knowingly those for sale. Evidently someone moved those there by accident because it was supposedly at the cashier’s counter. The owner came at our table angrily demanded $6 for straws. She kept saying 3 straws, 6 dollars without explaining what just happened. Since I opened 1 so I just paid $2 and returned the other 2. She then move those “for sale” straws back to the cashier’s counter, which is where it’s supposed to be at. She came back again and threw 2 free straws at our table without saying 1 word. My boys felt bad and I had to comfort, it was ok, just an honest mistake. Edit: Never showed me the price tag nor explained what happened since my young kid took the straws. The attitude is...
