Overall pretty good! I think I may try a different drink next time because the cold brew made me feel a little dizzy for a while, but the boba itself was really good.
Yum! I always love a good boba tea, and this one on the 2nd floor of the Galleria Mall hits the spot literally! There aren't too many food and drink places on the second floor so it was strategically placed to give you a shopping break in my opinion. They had so many boba teas and iced coffees here. Since it was the afternoon I was looking for a caffeine free option, and I found it with the Purple Love. It's Taro. It was so delicious and hard not to chug it all in one sip. I just LOVE boba teas!
Oh Wow! Yelp! Walking around in the Galleria with my hubby. He gets super thirsty and wants some tea. So we buzz into the cutest tea shop. He don't know a thing about boba tea, but, he ALL ready. There are 2 nice young men present and eager to serve, answering all the newbies questions. (I'm a newbie too) Manning is front and center giving all the great details and Kevin is the barista for the day. Thanks guys. I chose the virgin mojito with mango and peach, hold the mint and boba. Simply delicious! Bae got the passion fruit, hold the boba. It's okay. He said it tastes like medicine and nursed it all the way home to the trash. Don't worry, I loved it, This stuff here good. And, I love Tea! This boy don't drink no tea. Y'all already know, when I'm happy, I shall return.
Boba in Birmingham isn't great to begin with, but I'm truly surprised Kokee has survived for so long. I rarely go to the Galleria but every time I do, I tend to get a craving for a boba. Each time I half regret it. The boba itself is either super mushy or undercooked all in one drink. On my last visit we got a dalgona coffee flavored drink and we had to throw it out. I like a bitter coffee but this was something else. It was terribly concentrated and not to mention 60% filler ice, masked by the drizzle all around the sides.
First time trying this tea spot since there was no line, no wait. It's located upstairs in the Galleria and usually has a line out the door. I'm still really new to the Boba tea experience so it takes me a moment to figure out what's good. The cashier wasn't very informative. He answered the basic questions but didn't make any effort to guide us to a good selection. I ended up with the mango passionfruit tea, which has a green tea base. The tea itself wasn't sweet and needed that strawberry Boba to give it some umph! I drank it all but wasn't impressed. I would return, but I'd do my research and be sure of what I want next time... no reliance on the staff.
I've become a boba junkie. It's ridiculous. This was my first time trying this place and I was hesitant because of other reviews. I'm so glad I tried it out for myself! Order - strawberry milk tea with tapioca boba and coconut jellies Yumminess- Maybe i just happened to order the most perfect combo? Because it was absolutely delicious! Service- The staff were very patient and kind. (I had a toddler with me.) They completed my order very fast. Space - Shop was very clean Price - on par with similar boba shops
I'm very happy to have this new franchise, bubble tea place in the Gallleria mall. This corner storefront is located on the second floor; about fifty yards from the food court. It is roughly across from Victoria Secret, and at the top of the nearby escalator. The drink options are wonderful, and the menu is helpful. But for a first timers, all the decisions can be a bit daunting. You pick a tea flavor, style, add-in(s), and sweetness level. On this visit I ordered Honey Dew, slush, fruit jellies, and regular sweetness. It was about $6 and a good size drink. We visited on a Thursday night and they were out of bobas! Those perfectly squishy, tapioca balls are my favorite part of bubble tea. What the heck?!?!?, you can imagine my disappointment. Service was a bit slow. There were a handful of customers waiting for their orders, and ours took about twelve minutes. This along with running out of boba are some kinks that need to be worked out.
Whenever I come into the Galleria Kokee always has a line. There has never been a time where I haven't seen people coming in and out! I decided to finally stop by. I ordered the Oreo C&C Brown Sugar and added boba. I didn't really care for for my drink (it tasted solely like milk with Oreos in it) and the honey boba wasn't good. The staff was friendly though so I wouldn't mind going back and trying something different.
After moving to Birmingham from Florida, I was disappointed by the many of the boba places nearby. However, the tapioca and tea at this place actually tasted fresh and brewed. This place has the best boba in the Birmingham area. The lil macaroon was also good. Unfortunately it's in the Galleria Mall, I wish they had a second location or a pop-up truck.
Atmosphere: Kokee Tea is a boba shop in the Galleria Mall. The interior is clean and simple, but there are no places to sit inside. Service: There was no line when we went, so our order was taken very quickly. Our boba came out even faster, literally in 2 minutes, which was honestly shocking. Food: We got the Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba Pearls at 50% sweetness. The tea was not as good as we were expecting. It was simultaneously too milky and too syrupy, giving the drink an artificial taste that was too sweet. We didn't get that uniform, smooth brown sugar taste, and we felt like we got a drink with no harmony or cohesiveness. Additionally, the drink barely had ice in it, so it was not very refreshing. Overall: Kokee Tea is definitely not the best boba we've had, but with limited boba options in Birmingham and Kokee Tea's convenient location in the mall, we can see how their boba can serve as a nice shopping break. We likely would not come back due to their steep prices (~$7 for one drink) and low quality.
A coworker told me about this place, so I came here the next day to check it out. A legitimate, dedicated bubble tea place in Birmingham, Alabama that serves excellent bubble tea! Your average Birminghamian probably doesn't know what bubble tea is, and only a handful more may venture out to try it. So if you are curious enough to search this place on Yelp and read this review, go try it! Keep them in business! I've had bubble tea at two other places in Birmingham - one was good and comparable to this place, the other was horrible. At Kokee, I've ordered the Purple Love (Taro) tea and the Creamy Jasmine tea. Both were very good - smooth and not filled to the brim with ice. Pricing was fair, given the quality. One area of improvement is making sure the proper ingredients are stocked - the second time I came, they ran out of boba (tapioca pearls)!
Nice treat for when you're walking around the mall. The worker was really nice and let me put coconut in my taro slush. Good amount of sweetness. I enjoyed my drink. It is a bit pricey though
I'm a boba tea lover! Not the best. Decent for Birmingham, Alabama. I usually go to Thirstea (boba is better there but milk tea isn't great) It's decent for a quick fix. I got the Kokee milk tea with "regular" sweetness and honey boba. They told me the wait for honey boba would be 20 mins but I got it sooner (about 10 mins). -A little pricey (about 7 dollars) with one topping -One size choice -Boba consistency was not fresh. A little hard and chewy on some -Tea flavor was not super strong which is good but the flavor of the drink was OK. Not terrible. If you want good Boba tea you will either have to learn how to make it or go to Atlanta Georgia. I like Kungfu tea and this new place called Unbelievable is a must try (get jasmine milk tea or the mixture below it; can't remember the name) Boba consistency is fantastic!
I love this Kokee bubble tea!!!! They have many different flavors. I am gluten-free and they do have gluten-free and nut-free options. Even the kiddos love this place and all have their own favorites. The servers are always very fast and friendly. If you have any questions, they can answer them. It is located inside the Galleria, so it is accessible. The store is small but they do have some chairs that you can sit to wait in. I normally make my purchase and then continue on to the stores. read more

Located in the galleria mall, this place Has nice tasting tea. I chose the strawberry tea. Would had boba but felt it should have been included without as extra fee. The service was good and the open air atmosphere was pleasant. All in all a nice experience and worth a stop by to try. read more
Loved my brown sugar milk tea with no boba but it was super expensive at 7.89! Also the straws don't poke through and tea gets everywhere trying to puncture it. Also the tea flavor was very light. But it was still good. read more

I love Orange sangria at this place. I always take a drink whenever I go to Riverchase Galleria. Their milk tea and fruit tea are best cafe I've ever been. read more
Finally. I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for a place in Birmingham where I can specify a sugar level, get a variety of teas, and get solid boba, and this place is it. The store is located in an unassuming storefront at the Galleria, right between Belk & Macy's. Prices are a little higher than other places, but frankly, it's worth it. I tried their Thai tea slush and the oolong milk tea, and both we're great! I'm excited that this place has landed in Bham, and hope it lasts. There were no chairs, only standing tables when I went, and the layout is a little funky (lots of random standing room only - likely because most people order and then leave the store). They have reusable bottles and small items for sale as well. I'm excited to have solid bubble tea, and I'm looking forward to trying more of what they have to offer! read more
Stumbled upon this place while walking around the Galleria. It took a while to place and receive our orders, but it was worth the wait because the drinks were very refreshing. There was a variety of options and had great music! At $4.59 base price for a decent size, it's not the cheapest, but considered reasonable from my past experience. I would highly recommend checking out this place. I just wish it wasn't so far for me. read more

First time trying the bubble tea. I had the coffee milk tea which was very good. My daughter ordered the Oreo tea - she was not a fan because it had a grainy texture. The staff was friendly and I definitely want to try it again. I really like those bursting bubbles! read more
So happy to finally have a decent bubble tea place in Birmingham! It is located inside the Riverchase galleria mall. Just recently opened. Very clean. Fun and casual atmosphere. I tried their Mango & Passionfruit iced tea with honey boba with 50% sweetness and lite ice. I thought it would have bits of fruit in it, but it didn't. Still very delicious and refreshing though! I definitely recommend this location if you are looking for a quick boba fix! read more

First bubble tea in Birmingham that I've liked. The kokee milk tea, oreo milk tea, and mango passion fruit fruit tea are all amazing. We all got 50% sweetness and that was the perfect amount. Boba was the right consistency and tea tasted very good! read more

When you are getting a MILK TEA, it should contain MILK. I have never order an oolong milk tea anywhere without milk in it but here. So it tastes like u have a cup of tea with sugar! Very disappointed! They were out of boba too which is my fav! Kungfu tea and Ding tea are the best. Sucks that AL doesnt have many bubble tea places. I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS PLACE UNTIL AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE! read more
