Yummy delightful treat. Refreshing for a hot day. Cute and clean inside. Lots of choices. I had the matcha with creme brulee and it was very tasty. I will be back as there are other flavors I would like to try. The service was good, quick, and friendly. read more

My drink was delicious! I ordered the Halo-Halo, and the sweetness level was perfect. I loved how it wasn't overly sweet. It had a nice, creamy, milky flavor that I really enjoyed. I also loved the toppings, especially the langka and leche flan, which added great flavor and texture. Overall, it was a refreshing drink. read more

Golden Tea Cafe - 4 Halo-Halo - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

I ordered with a young Filipino girl, and she was very rude. She took my order but didn't ask me about the sweetness level or ice amount. Then she just left to make someone else's drink. When it was time to pay, she just told me to tap my card in a rude way without even telling me the total. Then she walked away again to make someone else's drink. This place is under new ownership. We ordered the Halo Halo, and it was very thick. You couldn't drink it with the boba straw. I'm not sure if the edible cereal straw was meant for decoration or if you were actually supposed to drink from it, but I couldn't drink it with that straw either, so I got a regular boba straw. The colors didn't look great or like how they advertised it. Maybe they added more milk instead of taro? It was very white, and the bottom looked mostly like clear jelly. There wasn't much colorful jelly, and there isn't any boba unless you pay an extra 90 cents. The Halo Halo I've had before was mainly taro as the drink, with toppings like jelly, beans, and pudding at the bottom. This one was way too sweet for some reason. It also came with what looked like Frosted Flakes on top and a cooked sliced banana. It came with pebble ice instead of shaved ice. It just wasn't my cup of tea, and I'm not sure if I'll be back. Maybe their other drinks are better?? read more

I was coerced by my kids to stop by Golden tea after Fro-yo a few days ago. It was my first visit and I impressed by their menu. The young lady working was informative and very friendly. I was bummed they were out of tapioca pearl boba and that their soft serve machine was out. Taro soft serve closer to home, yes please! We settled for their golden honey boba. We ordered a Golden milk tea with oolong and three taro milk tea 25% sweet with Golden honey boba. Our wait time was a little longer than we're used to, but our drinks were awesome! This shop is cute and one thing I loved was the free drink if your name is... board. I love that I'm able to order for delivery from here and we'll definitely be back. Fingers crossed we'll be able to have taro soft serve next time! read more

Golden Tea Cafe - Crème brûlée, Thai Tea Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Golden Tea Cafe is open for late night boba in the Sparks area and their tea and boba quality was pretty good for Reno. I ordered an Oolong Milk Tea with Soy Milk as a plant-based, non-dairy option. They already use a non-dairy creamer but I usually stick with a plant-based milk to avoid the extra added sugar and potential milk derivatives (I know... definitely misleading packaging sometimes). Drink was good overall and I was surprised that the golden boba here didn't stink like I had tried at a different spot. This means they know how to prepare their drinks well. Fun Bonus: if your name matches presumably one of the owners, you are eligible to receive a free drink! Not sure if they change this out but I sadly did not qualify on the day I went haha. read more

Golden Tea is really nice during the summer time especially when it's in stock with its vanilla ice cream. The service overall gets slow some days and sometimes the taste of the boba you order is never the same but still delicious. The vibe feels pretty basic overall. read more

Bartistas were super nice and accommodating. I went in there because my 5 year old wanted to try boba she got the strawberry milk tea and they did a kid version with less sugar. It was soo good with popping strawberry boba. I got myself a thai milk tea and it was delicious. read more

Golden Tea has become one of my favorite boba places to go to in Reno! Every time I crave boba, I want their Crème Brûlée Latte! I tried it because it is one of their top 10 drinks. I assume it would be overly sweet and would not like it, but I was surprised. It had a great crème brûlée flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. I became obsessed afterwards. I do not usually have a favorite or go-to boba flavor, but this drink specifically from Golden Tea has made my cravings for boba worst because i want to drink this all the time now. Their service is always quick and the quality has continued to improve every time I visit. When I get it delivered through Door dash, the quality is still top notch! I love how they have a rewards system to go toward a free drink. read more

Golden Tea Cafe was amazing!!! Drinks were on point and the customer service was second to none. Definitely recommend to all the boba fans out there. This is the spot! read more

TLDR: Not my cup of tea.... Hah! I'm not even comparing to the Bay Area. We loved the customer service. They don't normally make hot milk teas, but they made it custom for my wife. That's so nice of them. She ordered her usual... classic milk black tea zero sugar, hot. I got the peach green tea. The reason we're giving it 3 stars is because the tea tastes... strange. Both our drinks, even though one is black and the other is green. Maybe it's the tea leaf they're using? or the way they brew their tea? It just tastes odd... I don't know how else to describe it. But anyway... these reviews are for me, a note to myself. I'm not going back. I think Ding Tea is still the best in Reno. read more

Love coming here for delicious boba drinks! The boba is always good and they have a lot of different drink options although it seems my go to is always the Thai tea lol! It's my absolute favorite! If your craving boba I would definitely come and give this place a try read more

I will be very honest as my first impression of this place was disappointing , but only due to the drink I ordered: A Vietnamese coffee no boba. If there is a boba place or any drink shop that offers Vietnamese coffee, i will always order it to try it. But when I ordered the drink , it was not it. For me, it was just way to thick and strong that it was not drinkable in my opinion and I ended up throwing the drink away after a few sips. BUT, I came back a second time as I was in the shopping plaza and wanted a drink. I ended up ordering their Sea Salt Coffee with boba.... I LOVED IT. My ultimate favorite coffee (besides a vanilla latte) is Sea Salt Coffee and Golden Tea Cafe's Sea Salt Coffee was sooooooo good. If you have ever been to 85 degree bakery and cafe in Southern California, had their Sea Salt Coffee, I would say Golden Tea Cafe's Sea Salt Coffee is VERY similar. With the boba, it is even better. The shop itself is very modern and cute. It's a little hidden in the back near the old Gourmelt shop and Nektar but when driving Los Altos Pkwy you could see where the shop is. Overall, they offer other drinks i have yet to try, but hands down I will be back for their Sea Salt Coffee as I am over the moon to find a place that sells it and is similar to my favorite shop in SoCal. read more

Golden Tea Cafe - Sea Salt Coffee with boba. My all time fave. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

We needed some Milk Tea to take to a friends. Looked up Boba in Sparks and this was the closest. We swooped in and got all 3 drinks to go. I got something with Lychee, my wife got a Taro and we got the Classic Milk tea for our friend we were visiting. Pricing was decent and the flavors were on point. The space was nice. Not go out for a date night nice, but nice and clean and good parking right out front. I even noticed that they had a pumpkin drink special that I may just have to come back for. And I probably will, because when you can get quick service and good tasting drinks. It's worth going back! read more

Golden Tea Cafe - Special - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

This is a really cute boba tea spot. I like that it has indoor seating. I met my friend here to say goodbye since she's moving to a different state. We reminisced and bonded over Taro boba and Golden Tiger boba tea. We came at a good time. It wasn't too busy and the workers are really nice. There's plenty of parking on site right in front. Super convenient! I want to come back and try the creme brulee boba. They only sell drinks here, no snacks or treats. But this place is right next door to a cake spot and some food areas close by. I would recommend checking them out. There are a lot of flavors to choose from. read more

I left an amazing review a couple years ago, but now as time has moved on this place SUCKS! They are so inconsistent with their hours not only that but still are "open" on DoorDash/pick up while the store is closed in person.. then DoorDash/pick up does not allow you to cancel the order and get refunded so not only are they not even working they are also stealing your money!! it makes no sense.. not only that but last time I actually went in the Boba itself was very hard and impossible to chew .. The workers are always just sitting at the Customer tables doing homework or even working for another company on their laptops.. They are not friendly. They do not welcome you in specially now that there is a kiosk and then still have the nerve to ask for a tip!? lol this place is digging itself in its own hole..! if I could give it zero stars, I would don't even waste your money or your time read more

Stopped by to get some boba since I was in the area! I like how they have a rewards program. It's very easy to sign up and when you do, you get some credit to put towards your first drink. It's linked to your card/number with the Toast app. I ordered my usual Passion Fruit tea. No complaints about the flavor. It's around the same price point as the other boba places in town. They only have one size for the drinks so no need to upgrade to a large for me, which is a plus. There is plenty of parking outside and seating inside the cafe. There's some music playing in the background. I like how you're able to order ahead, on the kiosk, or at the counter - lots of options! read more

Golden Tea Cafe - Passion Fruit Green Tea~ - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Me and my daughter absolutely love coming here. They have great service and the establishment is very clean.

The first time I visited Golden Tea Café, it was an incredible experience, earning a full 5 out of 5 stars. Two young women were working that day, and they made our drinks with such skill and care that they were absolutely perfect--balanced, refreshing, and delicious. I was really impressed and excited to return. Unfortunately, my recent visit on a Thursday around 12 PM was a major letdown. We ordered two drinks, and this time, the quality was far from what I remembered. The drinks were extremely bitter, and even though I didn't ask for any customization, they gave us hardly any ice, far below the standard amount. The drinks also lacked creaminess, making them feel watered down and poorly made. It was clear that the attention to detail and quality I had experienced the first time just wasn't there. Golden Tea Café has the potential to deliver amazing drinks, but the inconsistency is disappointing. I hope they can return to the level of excellence I enjoyed during my first visit. read more

I love the crème brûlée latte, it's my favorite thing to get there and the service is really quick! :)

I'm so glad that I finally got to try this place out. I tried a couple different drinks (but only 1 pictured) and I was blown away by how delicious the drinks were. Strawberry Lychee Green Milk Tea (pictured): This one was my favorite drink out of the bunch. The lychee and strawberry flavors were dancing happily in my mouth. The crystal boba added a different texture that I enjoyed. The flavors just blended together so beautifully. Golden classic black milk tea with egg pudding: Tastes like a normal black milk tea. I thought the egg pudding could've used a little more sweet flavor to it. It didn't really taste like anything. Matcha milk tea with matcha creme: This drink is for the matcha lovers for sure. The right amount of matcha flavor in the milk tea. Matcha has such a strong flavor profile, but it wasn't overpowering in this drink. Caramel frap: My least favorite out of the bunch. I didn't like the texture. I wished it was a bit creamier. Couldn't really taste the caramel flavor. Looks like I'll be making more trips out to the Spanish Springs area just for their delicious and refreshing drinks. read more

In the area.. decided to stop and check out the drinks.. I ordered the golden tiger latte.. The bibs machine was in process, so no boba for another 8 minutes. That was okay for me, as I don't usually get the boba.. I must say, I enjoy boba drinks.. going to new boba shops... But this drink, was Wow!.. One of the best I've had! If I'm in the area... i will definitely stop! read more

Nice spot next to the old Gourmelt on Los Altos in Spanish Springs. Fairly busy so service was slow. I really enjoyed my passion fruit milk tea and my son's Thai iced tea was also tasty. Unfortunately they had just run out of boba so there was none to add to our drinks. I'll go back since I expect they're working the kinks out. read more

Was craving a Thai tea so saw this place on Yelp. I was not satisfied at all with the drink and ended up taking a couple sips and throwing it away. Place was clean and staff really friendly but their Thai tea was definitely a no-go.. read more

Really great teas, my boyfriend and I frequent here quite a bit. Lovely waiting area or place to relax and drink your tea. Good customer service as well. The only reason for 4 stars is because we've really been wanting to try the soft serve ice cream and every time we go the machine isn't working, so we finally asked if they have an estimate of when it will be working and they said no clue. Still recommend this place for tea though, my boyfriend loves the matcha and I always get the peach black tea. read more

Went in for the first time, wanted something refreshing and Axel suggested a strawberry slush with mango! I got just that and it was delicious! The place is very clean, the music is great, and the staff is very very friendly! Axel and Hyacinth are very kind. I would definitely recommend going here! read more

Golden Tea Cafe - Strawberry mango slush! Yummy! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

I've been here twice since they've opened. They're very quick and kind at this boba location. If it wasn't so far, I may consider going more frequently. The music and decor add a nice vibe while waiting for your drink (but honestly, the music genre could be different on your visit depending who's on shift and DJing the iPhone connected to Bluetooth lol). So, as far as the drinks- I've ordered quite a few different drinks between myself and my family. I have not been dissatisfied with any of the drinks. They've all been good flavors! On the top of my head, we enjoy both of the coffee drinks, the matcha, the taro, the creme brûlée, and the regular milk tea. read more

Menu and drinks 10/10. They lost a star for service. The drinks are delicious and the slushie drink came in a nice reusable cup. We really enjoyed the creme brûlée drink, the creme topping was delicious!!! We also went to the other end of the spectrum and got a strawberry slush. Also tasty and refreshing. A little pricey, our total was about $15 for two drinks. While we were waiting for our drinks I was perusing their website and IG. I noticed that today and tomorrow they're doing "buy 2, get one free". I asked an employee if they were honoring that and they said "yes". I asked if I could get a third drink since we just ordered. They said no that that could only work when I ordered (literally not even 2 minutes prior). I've grown up in the service industry and found this to be lazy and poor form. If you like creme brûlée, the top creme with the burnt sugar is delicious. That being said, the experience left a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth. If you go on April 30th, it's still buy 2 get 1 free read more

Service was eh. We were the only ones to be there and didn't even say hi. I had to approach them with a greeting. We ordered two drinks with boba. They completely forgot the boba in one of our drinks. As I was getting my drink, they offered me an extra drink they had made wrong because it was missing boba as well. Drinks were decent, service was terribly lacking. read more

I don't know if they changed their management or what. The drink wasn't as good as before. I always get the cream brûlée latte. The one I got this week was different and also the cup was too cheap. Can't even hold the cup steady. I don't like this cheap feel. The drink is already high margin, no need to make the cup cheap like this. read more

My daughter ordered a peach juice with boba and I ordered the peach slush drink. They both taste great. When I checked in with Yelp it gave me a free topping. I told the person at the register and he asked someone else how to use it. Instead of taking off the topping from my daughters drink he gave me a free topping. But I didn't want one. So he never actually gave it to me. Other than that the place is clean and has plenty of tables to socialize at. read more

Sunday afternoon around 5PM I walked in and the lady who was making the boba was on her phone. Then right before we paid she said they were out of boba which was no problem. I proceed to pay and she doesn't even wash her hands before making the boba drinks and just gets right to work. She was just making a mess and washing with dirty towels. I didn't even want to try the drinks in fear of becoming ill due to unsanitary conditions. I do not plan on returning to this establishment anytime soon. read more

Don't be fooled by the 4 1/2 stars on Yelp. Since relocating to the Spanish Springs area. This is the go to place for your boba needs. Went in to get some boba and the main register machine was down, the nice employee explained and apologized and said I could place my order at the kiosk. After putting the drink orders in, I was able to use my card to pull up my rewards program and got my points! The fact you can customize your boba the way you want, the fact you can tell the pride of ownership in the ambience of the location and the staff. It was just a good experience. Their cups are also some of the fanciest boba cups I've seen. Really happy with the experience. Keep on doing what you're doing? We need more places like this! If you like boba. Haven't had boba, or just want to try something new. The crème brûlée latte with coffee jelly and golden boba is literally one of the best thing ever! read more

I visited the cafe on Halloween with my wife and my kids. The tall pale skin young lady and the short asian young lady took our orders and they were very nice.

I am SOOOOO happy there's finally an amazing boba tea spot in reno/sparks! I lived most of my live in california and was always spoiled by a huge variety of boba tea, and so I've tried many different spots. Believe it or not but there is "good" and "bad" boba, and it can vary depending on tea flavors or the boba itself having a weird consistency. I've always preferred my boba to have a sweetness to it, and a good, non soggy, chewy texture. I've been to this spot 3 times within the past 2 weeks already and they haven't disappointed. They actually have adequate seating too. I really love how I can adjust the sweetness to the drinks. Not many spots in Reno have that option and it reminds me of all the quality boba drinks i've had in the bay area :) their crème brûlée and strawberry lychee drinks are SOOOO YUMMY! I also love that they have a rewards system set up :) the gals that work there are super friendly. And extra points for playing kpop whenever I'm there :) I really hope they can bring maybe some card or board games into the place later on! one of the things I miss the most about boba spots in Cali is that they always had some board games me and my friends would play while we had our drinks. read more

Went here on a late Friday night and was so glad we put in an order online before picking up. When I got there only 1 person was working and it was so busy!!! I felt so sorry for her and message to the owners: do NOT have just 1 person working on a weeknight, shame on you! Poor girl was literally doing everything and people kept coming in. I'm giving her 5 stars because she was as quick as she could with our drink orders and could tell others were not as happy waiting. That's not her fault at all! The drinks were amazing and was very surprised there's decent boba in Reno (yay!) read more

Went to pick up an order I placed online. There was only one girl working and I want to say it was her first day there. She unfortunately did not know how to make our drink.
