    There's a lot of options for bubble tea around Columbus but this one is pretty good! This location is located on campus and can be hard to find parking but it's worth it. It's a small store, there's not seating really, only a bench for waiting. Staff is usually really nice and patient when I spend time looking at the menu. There's a not a lot of choices but what they have, they make well. I really like their Taro, Whipped Thai Milk, and their Green Grape, these are refreshing and sweet. I like their toppings, I think they're made well, their tapioca is chewy and not soggy. You can customize your sugar, ice, topping, and sometimes the milk option. Overall, great place for a refreshment and a drink to take with you wherever you go on campus. The prices are a bit higher than some places, but their drinks are made pretty well, about $7.50-$9 per drink. I would recommend if you like boba, need a pick me up, need a drink, or a refreshing drink on a hot day.

    Came here every time I visited the city, it's a nice spot to get some delicious refreshments! Zoey did a great job on making our order since we have 6 different drinks highly customized ~ I highly recommend the ChaLatte series as they are very unique and you can't get them elsewhere~ I tried their mango with coconut milk today and it was suuuper tasty and refreshing! Will keep coming for sure~

    Another bbt shop located on w lane ave near campus which means parking is difficult. However cuppa cha is a small shop, making it more of a grab and go place. There's no tables and chairs inside to sit, chill and enjoy the drinks. There's only a long bench which seems like the waiting area. Drinkwise, they do have some new tea flavor like jasmine, osmanthus oolong tea and plenty of unique toppings, making it a pricey bbt place in cols. I tried the jasmine milk cap which was good as the tea flavor is strong. The milk cap is like whipped cream which is tasteless but creamy. Green grape refreshing has huge half grape chunks and slices of lime. It's nice they added real grapes but it is too big for the straw. I personally do not like this drink as there's no strong grape or tea flavor, it just taste refreshing. I was slightly disappointed on my second visit thou. I tried the peach oolong milk cap and white peach oolong cha but I think they forgot to add sugar as both drink were not sweet at all. The white peach oolong cha is kinda watery too, it does not have much tea flavor. I would recommend the jasmine milk cap if you like strong tea flavor, or their fruit cha series for mild tea flavor. If you are adventurous, try their cherry blossom as I'm curious how it'll taste.

    I'd been meaning to stop into Cuppa Cha since they opened last December (2022). We parked at Tuttle Park because it was only a quick block on foot. I believe there's metered street parking on Lane but didn't want to bother. Inside, we ordered quickly through the touch screen kiosk and took a seat at a bench by the window. There were only 3 other patrons in the shop but it felt a little cramped because of the tight waiting area. When our order came out it was refreshing and satisfying. Bonus points for reusable cups! I ordered the roasted oolong milk tea with 70% sugar and it came with boba. I think I chose oat milk to substitute for dairy milk. It was very tasty and the boba was cooked perfectly to my liking, on the chewy side. The drink did have a slight tanginess, almost like a milk cap only it didn't have one. I'll probably come back to try one of their fruity drinks because they advertise all fresh fruit ingredients! For now, though, I prefer the teas at Little Moon Cafe, about 2 miles up high street.

    On the left is the mango citrus one and the right is the peach Yakult!

    It was so good and the best part is it's on campus! my friend and I went in and through it'd be average but they exceeded our expectation! the drinks came out looking EXACTLY like the photo

    All your sweet cravings satisfied! Don't be afraid to try something new. Everything we ordered were…read moredelish..we had the: 1. Mango Yonami - awesome mango sort of smoothie loaded with toppings and mango bits. 2. Ube halo-halo is just this explosion of multiple diff toppings. Two thumbs up. 3. Smash avocado - smoothie made w/ fresh avocado with bubbles and boba. Yum! 4. Brown sugar milk tea - oh the bobas were cooked to perfection! We also tried the pandan mochi waffle.. that was good too! Service was fast and friendly, place was bright and clean. Sweet happy tummy!

    I RARELY give 5 star ratings. But everything about this place was just right!…read more The drinks/food: Let's start with the scent of doughy & crispiness in the air from the moment I walked in. Must have been from the waffles & although that's not something I'd normally consider ordering, one whiff & I was craving them sooo bad! Not to mention that the prospect of exciting versions of them (like Pandan or Ube) made me want to ruin my dinner plans. So after I gained some self control, I ordered what seems like the healthiest & lighest drink up there. It just happened to also have all the flavors of things I adore. The Bambu Special is coconut meat, pandan jelly, brown longan, basil seed (think similar to a chia seed) & coconut water. All this with a crushed ice ball on top. Wow!! So subtle yet flavorful at the same time. I can't wait to make my way down their entire menu . The service: Another wow! The woman behind the counter was so nice & helpful. I mentioned how I like that it's a Vietnamese drink shop & she mentioned that her sister (I think an owner) & herself were both from Cambodia...one of my favorite places I've traveled to. It all made sense as the kindest people in all my travels were in Cambodia. She gave me future recommendations & I promised to return! The atmosphere: Clean, bright, variety of styled of seats, couches, high tops, & greenery walls that have cute neon signs. Wish this place was closer because it definitely had a coffee shop vibe. As a boba addict, I think I might have to pick this place over all the amazing boba options in that area & that's saying a lot! Please go try these goodies for yourself & support our local business owners!

FOOD -- I ordered white rice with shrimp and broccoli along with egg drop soup. The soup came out extremely hot and it took a while for it to warm up. It tasted just okay. The rice with shrimp and broccoli was fine too as it needed more flavour. It wasn't that good. SERVICE -- It could have been better but grace has to be given to the older woman and man who work there. I tried to ask a question but the woman at the counter did not understand English and the man cooking the food didn't either. The ordering kiosk had some pictures of menu items but what I wanted to order was partly in Chinese; thus, I couldn't figure out if I could change the protein option for my meal since I think the menu for that particular item listed only chicken. I eventually wrote shrimp on the ordering receipt that printed out and I was able to get shrimp. Overall, my lunch was fine (average). If I do return, I would just like to try their bubble tea. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 7/150 total reviews in 2024 - 657 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 15 March 2024

I had pork and beef dishes which should contain chili peppers, but were missing the peppers or only had bell peppers. I had Sichuan cold noodles (四川冷面), which should be flavored with chili oil and Sichuan peppercorn (花椒粉), but had neither of these. I had fried spicy chicken (辣子鸡), which did have the dried chili peppers, but it also contained a small rock and a tiny worm. This place does have a large menu, including many types of milk tea. But, I wish the quality of the food were better. In particular, the dishes should include all of the flavors that people expect. Anyone who has lived in China knows how these dishes should taste and certainly will notice the omission of important ingredients. As for people unfamiliar with Chinese food, I'm afraid they would get a bad impression of Chinese food from this place.

    Curiosity satisfied…read more. We dropped by without reservation for Saturday dinner, they had seating at the bar area or the high table. We chose the latter. The place is not big and they usually have large parties coming in, thus fills the space quickly. We started with Tofu chicharron which we were expecting to be crispy - because chicharron means 'crackling pork rinds' but these Tofu were soft a lil disappointed there. We tried the pork sisig, it was okay. It has this mayo topping and there's an overpowering taste of ginger which is not typical of sisig. We enjoyed the grilled pork belly though, marinated enough and it's complimented with soy vinegar dip. The pancit on the other hand was very greasy. The oil was pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Taste was was just okay. It has way too many chinese sausage in it. We completed our meal with Ube Carioca, it is this chewy rice cake that is deep fried with glazed sweetness & that was okay as well. We wanted the mango sago, however they were out. The service was prompt and adequate parking space.
