Classic and Yakult
Stacey K.

Probably the best tea shop in the Johns Creek area. I didn't go in the shop myself so I can't comment on the service. But I did try their teas to go. And I was very impressed after trying too many mid tea shops. I tried their classic Greatea milk tea and it was great. It had a great flavor and tasted very fresh. The boba was a great, chewy texture and not too sweet as well. I also tried a Mango Yakult drink which is like a fruity yogurt drink. It was very good as well and a great no-caffeine option. I can't have too much caffeine so these drinks are a great option. This is inside a plaza on the side. It has been open for many years and I have been meaning to try this place forever. But only got around to it recently. I would definitely be open to trying other flavors if I'm in the area.

I have driven by this location multiple times and I have truly been missing out until today! Food: SO MANY OPTIONS from fruit teas to various milk teas to waffle snacks. The pricing is very great for 16oz + 24 oz. We got the Greatea + bubbles and the classic milk tea + grass jelly + boba. The greatea milk tea was so good! Even with the 50% sweetness it was still very sweet (given the creamy added taste). Next time, I will not be adding any additional sugar. Boba was chewy and great! SERVICE: so attentive. The owner (?) and one of the workers were so kind and intentional in approaching everyone. It was nice to have 2 self serve machines. There is also a nice reward system. $1= 1 point. AMBIANCE: so quaint!! There were nice vibes with great music. There is also a couple chairs outside for outdoor seating.

Top tier boba! Checked out Greatea after my boba connisseur of a friend said that this was her favorite spot. The hype matched the experience! Great tasting tea, perfect boba texture (soft and chewy), and great service. The menu is extensive and there are a handful of drinks that I'd like to try next. I got the Greatea w/ boba. Prices under the Creamy Milk Tea section are pretty standard while all other drinks are a bit pricey. Regardless, given the quality, it's worth it! This is now my #1 favorite boba spot in the greater ATL area

Hidden gym in Johns creek. Its easy to miss as its tucked inside a complex. Really nice place to hangout with your friends. Plenty of seating inside. Lot of options Milk tea, Fruit tea, Slushies etc. They also serve few snacks. Milk substitutes avaliable for an additional charge. Service was a bit slow. But the teas were made fresh. The guava tea had real Guava fruit inside them! The best fruit tea i had in a while. They have seasonal stuff as well. Go check them out. Plenty of parking in the shared complex.

Black Sesame Milk Tea (right) and Roasted Oolong Tea (left)
Hope Y.

I got the black sesame milk tea 75 sweet, less ice. Didn't like it as much as the taro milk tea I got last time. The black sesame flavor is not very strong and wasn't what I expected. Also would get 50 sweet instead of 75. Overall it wasn't bad, but would probably just stick with the taro milk tea next time. This location is smaller than the suwannee one. There are 2 larger tables and 5 two person tables. There's a few outlets along the wall. There's also a restroom in the back for customers.

I most def love a good milk tea. After visiting the Crystal loft, I stopped in here. The vibe was warm and welcoming. Typically I'll do a taro milk tea. Today I decided to try something else. The Oreo. My server was patient with me as this was my first time here. She made my drink in record time. It was great! Stop in when you get the chance! #ashsaidit

Cute interior (chairs and lights)
Monica L.

I almost missed this spot as it was in the corner of the plaza and slightly hidden with a very generic sign, but I'm glad I didn't! I was recommended to come here by a friend who knows her boba and I wasn't disappointed. They have a great selection of teas and even more awesome--tons of flavors of crystal boba. The Rose tie guan yin tea was really good, boba was chewy and cooked through...I couldn't find any fault. I'm not sure about the milky teas or fancier drinks, but I can attest that their straight up teas are legit. Overall, great variety of teas, lots of toppings and customizations...this is the place for all your boba cravings!

Leon N.

Trying this new place for the first time and is not disappointed. It is a comforting place to sit and chat with friends for a bit as there are seats with outlets on the side. However there doesn't seem a trash can available or a restroom inside. There was a wide variety of drinks. Getting three drinks for a total of $22, the drinks were good but nothing amazing. They are just average milk tea drinks so if you just wanted a quick stop to grab a drink then this is still a really good place. I did not grab these items but they also offer food such as waffles and hotdogs if wanted. Their signature Greatea is just an average milk tea. The Taro milk tea does not have a strong taro flavor and is mainly tea. The Mango sago is very thick and not strong in flavor even though I got extra sweet. Overall, it is an okay place to get a quick drink.

Oreo Milk Tea with Boba
Arielle P.

What do you expect... This is GREAT TEA (haha!). But truthfully, this is one of the greatest teas in the area. I love the tea that they brew for their drinks here, as well as the lovely ladies behind the counter that are always so sweet. My go-to order is always the oreo milk tea, which admittedly is their normal milk tea with whipped cream and oreo topping on top--HOWEVER, they know how to make it just right. I love the tea at its finest, and it's very sweet. I recommend lowering sweetness level if you do not have a big sweet tooth. The interior has some cozy chairs and good spot to catch up with friends. Parking is easy with the parking lot directly outside.

Mango Sago with Crystal boba
John H.

Greatea still remains to be a hidden gem of a boba spot in John's Creek. Their prices are slightly higher but quality, low sugar levels and cute drink cups and cafe are well worth it! Purely food based review: Mango Sago with Crystal Boba ($8) - Part of their new summer drinks menu of fruity teas. Super fresh, crystal boba and sago go well with mango. Not overly sweet at all, no adjustments needed!

strawberry lychee & watermelon lemon detox water
Julie K.

Drinks were great! Got the strawberry lychee tea w no sugar and I was able to enjoy the taste of the fruit flavor. I liked how they used real fruit pieces in their drinks so it didn't taste artificial at all.

Plus, they have the cutest claw machines I have ever seen--totally enchanting and a must-try for some quick fun! With the cold temperatures outside, I decided to go with a Hot Taro Milk Tea. It was sensational! It had just the right amount of sweetness without being sugary, which is exactly how I like it. For a snack, I tried their mozzarella sticks and curly fries. Those cheese sticks were thick, perfect, and definitely not your typical store-bought variety. While the curly fries were a bit underwhelming, you really can't win them all! What truly made the visit special was the staff. They were super sweet and brought such an enthusiastic energy to their service. It is rare to see that level of exemplary customer service these days!

When I came to ChuChat, they were offering this Melon Bread that caught my eye! Once I confirmed that it was filled with cream, I was completely sold and didn't hesitate to get it. It tasted really good and the melon flavor came through in the crust on the bun and a little bit in the cream. I've never had anything like it and I'm slightly addicted! I also got their blueberry almond bread and that was solid, not as good as the melon bread, but still a more unique offering. The inside is clean, modern, and has somewhat private seating on the sides in variously designed open cubbies. I love the "private" side rooms because it feels just a little more comfortable and quiet sitting with just your friends.

The only thing we don't recommend is their sea salt drink that they seemingly are known for and are trying to push - we were not a fan at all.

It had a colorful mix of fruits and the perfect level of sweetness. Next time I visit, I'm definitely getting the Super Paws Fruit Tea for myself!
