Examples include sugarcane juice and the crazy drinks, which resemble and taste exactly to Teapioca Lounge's boba madness series. Sugarcane juice is exclusive to Koala Tea, and I don't think you could get it at any other boba tea shops. Giving the numerous boba shops popping up throughout Oklahoma City metro, Koala Tea has a place in the city due to location and providing unique drinks. It's a nice little shop that provides excellent service. It opens late and drinks are great, making it 5 stars worthy in my book.

Goes to the back and is gone a long time. Finally comes out to say the fryer is backed up several tickets. Then they take our spring rolls to a table that ordered after us. They finally bring our kids food more than 20 minutes after our food so ours had gone cold. We tell them we never received our apps and it's too late now to just cancel them. Then they bring them to the table. The waitress was more defensive than apologetic. They took 15 percent off the bill for the trouble. Not good enough and you just lost a loyal customer. The food tasted different today too, like they used too much fish sauce. It's a shame, we did really like this place but the service was too bad to ever return.

With the concept of "read books, drink coffee/tea, be happy" it is difficult not to fall in love…read morewith this friendly tea shop in Norman, OK. Every message is optimistic and uplifting as "life is beautiful and so are you." I love the concept of the tea shop and everything else built around this beautiful concept. The owner was so helpful. She will guide you through the menu as she has revamped it herself after taking over the shop 2.5 years ago. She renovated the shop into her own vision and it has never been better. The milk teas are of the highest quality. As an avid tea drinker, I could taste the tea flavors at Bahn Thai Tea. The Taiwanese Lavender Milk Tea uses oolong tea and I could detect oolong tea in the drink which I love. At other places, you couldn't because the milk and sugar would overtake the tea flavor itself. But not at Bahn Thai Tea, my friend, and that's a really good thing. The owner also gave me a complimentary Thai milk tea due to being from Tulsa and being a reviewer. The Thai Tea was good, but as a traditional hot tea drinker, I prefer the oolong based milk tea because of the impeccable tea flavors. I can confidently say Bahn Thai Tea is an exceptional tea shop with highest quality ingredients and a concept and message that the world desperately needed. I hope to see this tea shop continue to thrive the next time I am in town.

This is definitely the best coffee in the Shawnee area. The cane sugar latte is the best drink I've ever had. The rumors are true, their latte's are to die for. Elevated Grounds is every bit worth the half a mile drive off I-40 to get this coffee. I happened to go on cinnamon roll day (tue & sat) and had a maple bacon cinnamon roll that changed my life. If you're in the area you've got to try this place! read more

It was too sweet for me, but really it's my fault. I don't love sweet coffee and I went for it anyways. I have a feeling if I told them that I did not like it they would have gotten me something new, but I didn't feel the need for more coffee. BUT if you love sweet coffee then you'll love the drink I got! I come to this area of the city about once a week and I can't wait to come back and try something a little less sweet.
