When you walk in, it smells so yummy! I didn't know there's a self-kiosk, but will definitely use it the next time I go there. I love how fresh the boba is. I'm not a fan of the strong jasmine taste. It does taste refreshing, but the flavor is overwhelming. The sugar level and ice level cannot be adjusted to 0% so it's unfortunate. Nonetheless, it's yummy and refreshing, but not what I was looking for. read more

My daughter and I stopped in for a drink on a Saturday morning. The shop is small, but there's plenty of room to sit and enjoy your drinks at a table. It was a bit busy, as expected, but the line and drinks were moving quickly. They have a huge menu of drink flavors! It was hard to choose what to try because everything looked so good. We went with a classic milk tea with boba and a strawberry tea with popping boba. The drinks were super flavorful and refreshing. It is a bit pricey, but that's expected as boba tea is extremely popular. I'd definitely come back, but more as a weekly treat than a daily drink option. read more

Honey Bee Tea - Classic Milk Tea (M1) & Strawberry tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Manchester, Missouri

I love that it was so convenient next to the grocery store with plenty of parking. I think this one is very tiny. A lot of big people like average Americans won't be able to fit going to the bathroom through the hallway. I know they're trying to do the best but hopefully no one blocks the hallway if they sit down I think it's meant to be a grab and go more in this location. Otherwise you're just blocking the hallway. I love that the service is fast. I love that it gives that genuine bubble tea premium tiers. read more

Honey Bee Tea - S1 & Okinawa Milk Tea w/Toasted Creme Brulee & Brown Sugar Boba (S7) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Manchester, Missouri

I wouldn't exactly call this place the busiest or quiet, but it's definietly ambient. Decor is on-spot, the vibe tells you it's a great place for meeting up with friends and such. Talking from experience, by the way. I stopped here after having lunch with some friends to grab a quick sweet treat. Service was decent and fast, and I also didn't wait too long for my order (s). The bubble tea was average in my opinion, but I like how you can add extra toppings. There is also a wide variety for the menu. The mango shaved ice was okay, I liked the refreshing flavor. Overall, decent in my opinion but I wouldn't mind if I had to come here again. read more

I wanted to try a new boba place but don't have too much experience in boba myself. I asked the staff what I should try and they unfortunately were not helpful - didn't seem to know too much about the product. I'd try them again, the drink I got wasn't the worst but definitely not what I would have chosen for myself. read more

Friday at 3:10pm Ambiance was nice. Clean. Bright with tables outside. Service at the register was helpful and informative if you're new to the establishment. Service was slow. Ordered 2 Matcha #10 and two Taiyaki, one chocolate The matcha was so fragrant it was not drinkable. I knew as soon as I saw the color it was not what I was wanting. I suppose they added jasmine. There was no earthiness to it. The Taiyaki was barely full. The chocolate tasted like Hershey syrup. 24$ down the drain read more

The boba tea was great but the prices were definitely not worth. I've had the same boba tea quality before at much lower prices - from $5-$7 (and that's in Southern California too!) . But it was $10/10.50 for one boba drink! I was treating my boyfriend and the bill for just two boba teas was $20+. We could have gone to a restaurant and ordered an entree and appetizer for that price depending on the place!! Definitely not coming back even though the tea was good and the owner seemed nice. If they lower their prices to be more reasonable than ripping people off, then we will come back for sure. The inside was nice. read more

Took my teen daughter and niece for boba and they loved it! Seemed right up their alley. You can order from a kiosk or at the counter. They got different drinks and cake pops, and loved the decor inside. Both girls enjoyed their choices and wished they could have tried more!

Wanted to finally get some shots of Honey Bee Tea and show how adorable this little joint is! I actually have never experienced their food before and decided to get the Hong Kong Egg Waffle. It was so warm and soft and the perfect snack! Overall I would say this is a staple in my routine and have enjoyed numerous things on the menu that have great quality! This is THE boba spot to hit! read more

This is such a cute little bubble tea shop. We moved so the shop is much closer to me than the old one. So far I tried a strawberry smoothie with popping boba and it was fantastic. Recently I have gotten in to matcha and I saw a crème brûlée matcha smoothie and since the last matcha I got at a coffee shop I was not crazy about, I still wanted my Frappe fix lol. I am telling you this matcha was so very good. The flavors were extremely vibrant and I felt like this would be my new spot. They have a vast menu and it would suit any boba lovers palate. I highly suggest this shop. read more

Food: 5 Stars Service: 5 Stars Living out in West County, our options are incredibly limited when it comes to bubble tea. Located along Manchester in the bustling Lafayette shopping plaza, Honey Bee Tea sits a couple of shops next to Dierberg's and can't be missed. They have a slimmer menu than other bubble tea shops, but I actually prefer this as they can focus on crafting a handful of great drinks vs. serving up dozens of mediocre ones. What I appreciate the most is that the drinks are all made from scratch, emphasizing on quality and fresh ingredients. My favorite is their taro milk tea as it's cozy and comforting with just a hint of sweetness. Be sure to add in boba for that extra chew! read more

It took me awhile to get here. It's out in West County on a busy street (the infamous Manchester). The ambiance is great, the line was short, and the service was nice and fast. The drinks that I got were awesome! The boba was cooked well. The only thing is that there's not any customization besides the size of your drink. I would loveee if I could have less sugar, but honestly it was still good how it is. read more

The tastes. The smells. Oh my gosh this place is a little slice of heaven. I told the employees I wanted something not very sweet, so I got a green mango tea with black boba and it was fantastic. The fresh fruit chunks made it sweet but not too sweet, and the black boba added something a little extra. Honey Bee also sells desserts, and it smells AMAZING. Think ice cream parlor mixed with fresh fruit. It's clean, the staff is incredibly friendly, and their options are endless. They offer smoothies, slushes, milk tea, lattes, and coffee. There are tons of additives to add in whatever it is you're looking for. Next time I go, I'd love to try the Ube Taro Latte! It was perfect for a hot summer day. Refreshing, delicious, and supporting local. Sign me up! read more

Honey Bee Tea - Ube Taro Latte w/ Brown Sugar Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Manchester, Missouri

5 stars for the quality of milk, tea, boba, and egg waffles!! They use organic milk instead of milk powder which my milk-snob friend informed me makes all the difference. I highly enjoyed my ube taro latte today which my toddler chose because of the vibrant purple marbled white colors. Apparently 3pm on a Sunday can be their rush hour because there was a line almost out the door and they ran out of regular boba, but still had brown sugar boba. I felt like the ube taro latte was not too sweet; I wish it had a tad more ube or taro flavor. Boba was perfectly chewy and cooked just right. I appreciate the kids menu but wish they could make any drink kid-size. My other kid loved her mango smoothie with boba added in. It was thick and substantial like a mango lassi. It seemed a bit steep to pay $8.50 for the ube taro latte (specialty drink) but all bubble tea places seem to be charging that much except Pan-Asia's bubble tea store which seems to have slightly lower prices. I loved that they also sell Hong Kong egg waffles which comes with a free topping. The creme brulee pudding was creamy and delicious but I might opt for condensed milk or syrup next time. They have about 3 narrow tables for seating and it seems most people opt to carry-out their drinks. read more

I was very excited to try this place after reading the rave reviews. I was also happy that I didn't have to drive far to university city for good milk tea. I tried to order the Okinawa milk tea at 50 % sweet and the lady said I couldn't adjust the sweetness. Then she told me to try a sample first. It was way too sweet and tasted very artificial. I was also shocked to see that it cost $8.25- that's more than boba tea in OC. I told her it was too sweet and she said the only drinks I can adjust the sweetness level were jasmine and one other one. I ordered the jasmine milk tea half sweet. The tea was strong in jasmine flavor, which I liked, but it had too much cream and boba was swollen soft. They also serve waffles and it smelled very good. I will probably stick to Cube tea studio for my boba tea but may come back to try the waffles. read more

Hands down, this is my favorite boba place in St. Louis. I've been here twice in 7 days, despite it being half an hour from my house (each way)! I've had the classic, the Okinawa, the oolong, and the house special milk tea. So far, I haven't been disappointed with the flavor of the tea or the consistency of the boba (I'm pretty picky with my boba consistency haha) here. If you want sweeter boba, it seems like the brown sugar boba is the way to go (the regular / honey is the other option). The tea flavors are very strong in a good way. You can really taste the aromas of the tea in the drink! Also, the Hong Kong waffle is delicious! I got mine with condensed milk on top. The only two downsides are 1) the location being so far from the city and 2) the high price (almost $10 if you get a signature drink) but this is definitely my splurge happy place. I love coming here when I can! read more

Super cute spot! I got the Oreo bubble tea and the waffle. The waffle was sooo delicious. There was some type of glaze with it and I felt like it was the perfect food for bubble tea. I'd probably try something a bit sweeter because I don't think I've acquired the taste of bubble tea quite yet. It was super busy, but I was served quickly and nicely. I'd definitely come back or a less busy weekday. read more

Tried this place for the first time after a friend recommended it to me, and I am one happy gal! My fiancé ordered the Strawberry Milk Tea, and I ordered the Okinawa Milk Tea with Toasted Crème Brûlée & Brown Sugar Boba. To be honest we didn't really like the Strawberry Milk Tea because the black tea flavor and strawberry milk flavor didn't really mix too well for our liking, but that's just our opinion. Now the drink that I ordered, we absolutely loved. The drink was perfectly sweet but not too sweet & had a slight roasted aftertaste, and the brown sugar boba tied the Okinawa milk tea flavor well with the toasted crème brûlée flavor. I see myself coming back to order this drink specifically, probably way more often than I should. Excited to try all the other goodies they have here! read more
