    Early grey with cheese foam
    Rafael J.

    About tea is possibly my favorite boba spot in town. I won't say they are revolutionary in the world of boba, but they have always been consistent. It's one of the most reliable shops for not having over cooked boba, and the flavors are great. My favorite drink is earl grey milk tea with cheese foam, which makes an incredible combination. The staff here is nice, and kick out drinks pretty quickly. They have consistently worked to make drinks correctly and do a great job with the consistency. The shop itself is clean, and offers a few board games and has music playing to entertain people that want to hang out for a little bit. This shop is just south of Chinatown, so you don't have to go into one of the busiest parking lots in the valley just to get a drink. If you are at chinatown already, it's a short walk over to visit.

    Cute small shop, definitely wanted to try some drinks near the nail salon I was at. I went in for a Brown Sugar Pearl Latte & a Taro milk tea (unfortunately didn't get a picture). Both came with boba, great sweet flavor. The Brown Sugar Latte was good. I felt like it needed it to be a bit sweeter for my taste. Overall it would've been 10/10. The Taro Milk tea was a no go, the gentleman that took my order told me that this was the actual taro. As in, the taro wasn't premade it was the powder itself with the milk. It wasn't a hit, why because it wasn't mixed well. Got chunks of powder as we took a sip. We tried mixing it well but it wasn't just messy at this point that the straw was inserted. They have a variety of options, I'd have to give them another try when I do return to Utah. Overall, service was decent.

    We went after dinner on NYE. I needed something sweet, and I enjoy trying boba places. There was quite a line, but the staff got our orders out quickly! I loved my tea! Just what I needed. The place was clean and cutely decorated for winter!

    food quality: 5/5 service: 5/5 cleanliness: 5/5 value: 5/5 I always love my drinks from About Tea! Their drinks come out consistently delicious and although I've been coming here for years, I still have yet to try everything. The staff is always welcoming and helpful to customers with questions. Store is clean and kept up very well. Highly recommended for your boba fix!

    Cheese foam is great as always. Service is better, as some of the new servers are a lot more friendly. Love the Tieguanyin rich milk tea but this time it's kinda bland (a little watered down...)

    We dropped by AbouTea for an after lunch boba while on a recent visit to SLC. They have some interesting tea choices - it's always nice to see tieguanying on a menu! Still, since this was our first time visiting and we were absolutely stuffed from lunch, we went with a normal black milk tea. Pearl Black Milk Tea, 50% Honey, 50% Ice w/ Boba ($6) - The drink isn't bad at all. It's quite a bit too sweet at 50% and according to the menu, they use honey as the sweetener, although I think it tastes more like brown sugar than honey. I'm guessing they soak the boba in a brown sugar solution, not to mention they also coat the sides of the cup with the brown sugar syrup to create a pleasing pattern on the inside of the cup. While there's plenty of body from the creamer, there's not too much tea flavor due to the brown sugar. Even though the drink is too sweet, it's a soothing sweetness rather than being harsh like a typical fructose syrup based drink that's sweetened too far. I would probably do 25% next time. Interestingly enough, they use a blender to mix the tea, creamer, and ice together to aerate the mixture instead of shaking it which is what the usual boba places do. The boba isn't bad at all either. It's a bit firmer in texture than my preference, but the outside is smooth and the pearls have a great sweetness level with a pretty good chew and bounce. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 4/5 Our first boba shop visit in SLC was certainly a success. If this is the quality of boba in SLC, I can't wait to discover what's next.

    I have been back here three times in the last month. Really new to liking boba but my family loved this place! Very cute play space for kids and the drinks can have as much or little sweetener as you want which I appreciate

    Pearl Milk Tea
    K S.

    Thank you to Yelp for hosting this Elite Experience. What can I say, customer service was great, I love the option to customize the drink based on sweetness and ice level. My drink was exactly how I liked it, and the most important part, was that the bona was cooked to perfection with a slight chew but cooked well enough that it was easy to drink. Most definitely comparable to the boba you can find in Taiwan (where boba originated), I will definitely be back!

    Came here mid-day and it was a good first time experience! Staff were informative when asked about the menu. The brown sugar milk tea with foam was on point, and boba was soft and fresh. Interior seemed clean from afar, but upon closer look, but tables can be wiped down a bit better (was sticky and had some residue). Was a nice surprise to see they had a cute little kitchen play set for the littles!

    Pretty good Pretty good It's in front the Arby's on state next to Chinatown so you can miss it and you can't but if you're coming in off State Street make sure to dodge the big ol business sign thing in the middle of the entrance (it's hard and easy to miss if you know what I mean) I got the taro drink. They use real taro and not the pow-taro (lol you like that? No? It's ok) and I liked it a lot. Also got the passion fruit joint which was refreshing and had boba, jelly and the other thing that's like candy but idk what it's called Play some games while you sit and sip K bye

    Passion fruit 3q, too sweet for me even at 30% sweetness

    Still my fave tea place. Their matcha slush with red bean is yummy. I also like their 38 milk king, half sweet. They gave out these cute dragon crafts kits for Lunar New Year too. My kids love the little kids play area.

    Came for a yelp event. I got two drinks. King milk tea and grapefruit tea. The employees were super nice and helpful. They even let me taste a few of the boba/jellies they had. The area is clean. Definitely would come back. Liked that you can adjust sweetness and ice levels. Both my husband and I enjoyed our drinks!

    So cute!

    I love so many things about this place the first thing right when you get there parking is really easy. Second you go in and the ambience is modern and fresh and a place that my kids can hang out and play. There's a restroom that easily accessible and clean, and there's good board games that we can play. The staff are super nice and can provide recommendations for what you want. There's so many good drink options and caffeine free options are labeled nicely on the menu here. The boba is always QQ- perfect consistency and I love the other options like basil seeds! I especially love that I can alter ice and sugar levels too. Personal preferences: 38 taro slush and passion fruit with basil.

    Matcha Cafe Kyoto

    I recently moved to SLC from SoCal and Matcha Café Kyoto came up in my online algorithm (probably…read morebc I have been checking out local sweets and dessert places). I thought it sounded yummy since I enjoy matcha and ube. So I checked it out today for a post-lunch dessert. I really enjoyed it and definitely plan on returning to try some of their other offerings. Today I ordered the matcha ube shaved ice and the cherry blossom latte (I had them make mine using coconut milk). I ate the shaved ice at the cafe and took the cherry blossom latte to go because I wanted to drink it later. They put it in a cute bag! Since it was my first visit there I wanted to try the ube and matcha separately, so for the shaved ice I ordered matcha shaved ice on the bottom, followed by the matcha soft serve and then the ube soft serve on top of that. Next time I order the shaved ice, I think I will most likely have the matcha shaved ice with the matcha/ube twist soft serve on top now that I know how each one tastes on their own. I also would do matcha shaved ice with just the ube soft serve on top. Or maybe ube shaved ice with matcha soft serve on top. The matcha was tasty, and like other reviewers have said, you can tell it's good quality matcha. I really enjoyed the ube, it was very yummy to me. I think for my next visit I'm going to try the ube parfait. The cherry blossom latte was good. I got the sweetened version (it was lightly sweetened not super sweet, which I liked). I didn't want something super sweet. It didn't/doesn't have matcha in it. That was fine with me because I wanted to save it for later and didn't want to have caffeine later in the day. I do think it would taste good with matcha in it though. Overall I enjoyed this cafe. I look forward to trying more items. As of right now the other things I want to try are the ube parfait, the shaved ice again, the warabimochi, the hojicha yuzu latte, and the strawberry matcha latte. If you like matcha and/or ube, I would definitely recommend checking out Matcha Café Kyoto. I know I will be again. Support a local business so that they are able to stay around for us to enjoy.

    I was finally in the area to try it out. I love matcha so I was excited! The place is small &…read morelimited seating but seems like most took their drinks to-go. The bathroom is hidden to the right of the store walking in. Just a warning, the further you go in the store, the more it smells like bathroom... When I first walked in, I wasn't greeted - which is fine, there were a handful of people inside. While ordering, I had asked what was popular and what the cashier suggests, and she said "matcha". I told her it was my first time but she didn't proceed with any recommendations. I decided to go with the ube matcha with oatmilk. She then asked if I'd like cream with it, I had asked if she suggested it and she responds with "well everyone gets it with creamer". Ok so I agreed to try it out. Why not cause everyone gets it with creamer right? I waited about 10 mins, which isn't bad considering the amount of people. She called my name and had 3 other drinks with her. I asked her if the one she was handing me was with oatmilk , and she says "well that's what you ordered right" I tried it and it wasn't oatmilk. I brought it up to her attention and she kinda just said "sorry" and that was all....unfortunately, I can't say it was the best service. If I decide to come back next time, I'll only get straight matcha instead of a latte just to try again. The matcha didn't have a strong taste to it. It was on the watery side. Perhaps I came on the wrong day a they were off with their orders. Who knows...
