After searching for bubble tea with popping boba, we came here. On the second floor of a building just off of a main street, their menu includes bubble tea with popping boba. Our eight-year-old daughter ordered strawberry herbal tea with strawberry popping boba and loved it. My wife and I each got the oolong tea with boba at the 70% sweetness level. It was unique and tasty! There are tables and outlets inside. Restrooms are for customers only.

Thai milk tea Milk tea

The Thai flavor was very strong and delicious!! Really enjoyed the ambiance of the store-- nice seating areas for a chat with a friend and very kind costumer service!

Mango slush
Ulyana K.

A great spot for bubble tea enjoyers to try new things and enjoy the classics. Their prices are pretty reasonable, but there re places that have cheaper boba. They just have some cool creations you can make, so I tried them out. I had the mango slush with pearls. This was a bit more like a mix between a smoothie and a boba drink. They had tons of mango chunks in there, which I definitely liked. It was quite sweet. The size was alright but not that big. It did taste very fresh and the top had a bit of frothiness to it. They included a lot of fresh and chewy boba pearls, too. Enjoyed it. All in all, this is definitely a nice spot for boba and bubble tea. Some more upscale types you can try. I'd recommend them if you are a big boba fan.

Green Milk Tea, Fruit Tornado, Brown Sugar Milk Tea
Victoria K.

A boba place on top of THE YARD of all things? Who would've thought. It's somewhat hidden in that I didn't see any signage on the actual building; there's just a little easel-esque sign on the sidewalk telling you that Dr. Tea is inside. But once you get in there, it's like a world opens up to you. The space is huge with plenty of tables and room for you to wait. The bathrooms are clean and not to acknowledge my subtle dig at another Pittsburgh boba place thus making it actually not subtle at all, but it should be noted that your drinks are ready in under ten minutes. We tried (rating): Green Milk Tea with Boba (3.5/5), Peach Grapefruit Mix (4/5), Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba (3.5/5), Fruit Tornado (4/5) The boba tea tingle I had upon walking in here was that it was better at fruit teas than milk teas. It's a feeling and an instinct and a vibe. I think the milk teas are on the menu because of necessity and not because they're anything special which doesn't mean they're bad - I got the green milk tea and thought it hit the spot, but it just means that I don't think you'll be finding anything super special about the milk teas. I did notice some Dr. Tea specials that included slush style tiramisu flavors that seemed interesting but not down my alley. There was a lot more noticeable creativity on the menu when it came to fruit teas and I liked that they had different fun names for their drinks rather than just calling them exactly what they are! The boba is for sure the main area where I falter. These were simply too small. I'm not a big small boba person because they, scientifically, make you work harder. With small boba there's less surface area and so when you chomp down there's less of a chance that you'll actually hit boba SO it requires you to chew for much longer but to me it's not satisfying because sometimes you're out here gnawing on air for most of it. BUT they were saved by the fact that the texture wasn't too soft and they were sweetened in the direction of light and sugary (rather than deep and brown sugary). If you're going to get the brown sugar, definitely recommend getting it with less sugar because it gets sweet fast. The fruit tornado is grapefruit forward, so it leans sour, but the tea itself is good. If I'm ever back in PGH I'd definitely return!

Large Green Milk Tea (with Ice)
David P.

Grand opening 1/15/2023, I found it on 1/18/2023. The entrance to this boba shop is in a door marked by The Yard. They have a sign outside that indicates that you're in the right place. A cozy, spacious boba shop awaits you inside. When I went around 7:15PM, it was empty except for one lady working the counter. I tried to order ahead, but the customization options were not working online (which is strange, since they were working on the opening day - I checked - and I let the lady know about this, since the prices also changed since opening day). My large oolong milk tea and large green milk tea with boba were about $7 each after tax and tip. Both drinks were well flavored with generous amounts of tapioca. Noted that powdered milk was used to make the drink, which is pretty standard among boba shops. Small batches of teas were clearly labeled behind the counter, which makes me believe that they are pretty fresh. One of my orders (the large green milk tea) was requested no ice and did in fact have some ice in it. Between this miss in the order and the technical glitch with their website, I would say there are small hiccups to be ironed out. The boba tea is pricey but flavorful, and so is a recommended option for a dessert in Shadyside if you get an early enough dinner or lunch.

Thai Tea Latte
Kirby S.

It's far from the best, but it's worth a try! The inside is nice and the service is quick, the drinks just aren't as flavorful as some other places. The first time I ordered the Oreo milk tea and it didn't have any Oreo taste at all. Basically was just watery milk. Today I got a Thai tea and it was better than the Oreo, but not as good as others I've had. I'll probably try it at least once more hoping to find something reallyyy good :)

Brown sugar milk tea
Rachael R.

We stopped here for a bubble tea after trying the new sushi place downstairs (def try it out!). The staff were nice and attentive. We both got brown sugar milk tea. These were by far the best ones we've ever had (it's our go to bubble tea order). The tea flavor was strong but not too powerful and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. It's also a cute and comfortable place to sit and chat or work. We're excited to go back and try more flavors!

Coco Tiramisu
Renee L.

I was excited to try this place as it had great review but was disappointed. I got the coco tiramisu which powdery and it was really sweet. I had also tried the taro milk which was mediocre. The quality of the tea flavor was not very fragrant and was not the best compared to other places. The inside of the store and the marketing was done well to make the place look appealing but the quality of the drinks need improvement. The service was pretty quick and the staff seemed nice.

Dirty brown sugar milk tea
Anqi H.

This is a really cool space. You can really tell they put thought into their interior design with all the wood features and a mural! If only they didn't have a wall of cardboard boxes in the back, it would feel much cozier. Their #1 recommended dirty brown sugar milk tea was really good. I got mine with 30% sugar, and it was perfect! When we came, they were just getting set up for the day. There were a few customers waiting around to order. You could tell they were loyal customers not minding the extra 10-15min wait. The staff was very friendly. Once their system started working, the drinks came out quickly. I'll definitely be back for more!

Coco Tiramisu
Lisa S.

I'm a bubble tea fanatic, so it should come as no surprise when my friend told me about @drteapgh I had to go (twice). Located above @theyard.pgh this cute little bubble tea shop brings such GOUD vibes. Both times were an absolute #GOUDapproved hit. The first time I went I got the Coco Tiramisu which was like a dream. I brought it home and my parents tried it and were raving about it. It's the best of all worlds- slush, bubble tea, sweet, almost milkshake like. A fan favorite for sure. The second time I went, I got the Oreo milk tea. This was more along the lines of a classic bubble tea with the standard brown sugar flavor but an extra cronch from the Oreo bits. Both incredible and you def have to come here to check out all the other delicious offerings. Every drink I saw being prepared looked incredible.

Cute little place that seemed like a great place to work out since it was quiet, and clean. Since we were the only ones there the service was very fast. I ordered the hot mocha, which I honestly did not like. It had a powdery texture and artificial taste. Very expensive ($7.50) for what it was too. I did like my husband's order - warm house milk tea with boba. It was creamy and had a nice floral taste to it. The boba had perfect texture as well.

Passionfruit QQ

The inside was very nice actually, huge tables and it seemed like a really nice place to bring your laptop and work, doesn't seem like it gets too busy either because it's kind of tucked away on a side street. The bubble tea was also good! They only have a few options on their menu, but a med drink was under $6 and it already came with the toppings which I feel like is never the case anymore, so pretty affordable too. They have fun options and classic options, boba was nicely chewy, tea had flavor, would highly recommend!

Queen of hearts drink
Jessica B.

Came to try something new, they have a cute little place up above the yard. I tried their Queen of hearts drink and it was very good. I typically prefer when tea places allow you to mix and match the boba with the tea flavors but their menu didn't allow for that. The staff was very nice though!

This place has the best bubble tea! Also, the vibe was spot on! The best part was probably the huge graffiti mural.

New favorite Matcha spot. Stopped in for national matcha day, which they offered a $1 discount on…read moretheir entire menu! Menu offerings were so vast, it took me a while to read through everything because it all sounded so good! They have a couple of rotating specials and different grades of matcha depending on caffeine levels and a weekly rotation of their soft serve. In addition to matcha lattes, they have shaved ice, soft serve floats, espresso + matcha combos, refreshers, and combos I never thought of but wanted to try. I love a yuzu drink so I tried their yuzu cool, a yuzu blended ice drink topped with their grade 1 matcha. It was amazing. The matcha quality was fantastic and you could really taste the difference. My friend tried one of spring menu offerings, a peach based latte and loved it. There's very limited seating inside so be aware. Street parking outside. I can't wait to return!!

I came on a weekend to get their soft serve. We got their ube x black sesame ice cream as their…read moreweekend special. The black sesame flavor was strong and present, but I think the ube flavor was lacking. The earl gray ice cream has a very strong floral aftertaste. Earl gray has that tea taste usually, but it was very overpowering. The jade fog latte was good as a matcha with a lavender cold form but for $8 as a matcha with cold foam is steep. There's only about 5 tables in the store, but sometimes some ppl come here to study. Street parking is free nearby.
