    Strawberry Milk Tea with Honey Boba, and Matcha Milk Tea with Honey Boba
    Nayra B.

    Not the worst milk teas I've had but... Former coffee shop and specialty tea shop barista here. We stopped by Kokee yesterday in the mall for a couple of milk teas. The line was pretty short when we went but there were at least five different employees crammed into the tiny stand bustling about either cleaning or preparing the drinks. Though I can't say these drinks were good, we were at least able to finish them. We ordered the Strawberry Milk Tea and Matcha Milk Tea, both with Honey Boba. The Honey Boba were too sweet and were a lot smaller in size to a lot of the boba I've either prepped myself or have had in drinks in the past. The Strawberry Milk Tea simply tasted like someone tried to brew tea in a cup of Strawberry Nesquik, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was actually the case. I found myself forcing myself to finish it since I'd spent good money on it. The Matcha Milk Tea on the other hand was made with a super low quality matcha concentrate that I did not find enjoyable in the slightest. Had it been the drink I'd ordered, I would have tossed it without a doubt. I'd recommend skipping this boba tea joint. It isn't the worst, but you could get far better quality drinks for the same price elsewhere.

    First time here, kiddo needed a boba drink. It wasn't quite busy but it didn't seem like anyone wanted put forth effort to help me (I'm not familiar with what's served) I'd ask a question or two and get the eye roll and finger pointing to the menu. I emphasized that it was my first time and She blatantly said "we sell boba drinks" -- I got that. First order placed "we are out of tapioca" ok, what do you have, strawberry poppers, she points.... Umm I want strawberry lol she stared at me for a bit and provided my drink. Didn't bother asking about military discount because it was obvious that she didn't want to do her job and needed another break! Paid $6.74. Not bad, but I also pay for service. I won't be returning

    Tried this place for the first time and it was alright. The coffee milk tea tasted decent and the Thai tea wasn't as good as I expected (I had this drink in other places that were better I feel). I added some Honey Boba and though was chewy didn't really help with the drink and really couldn't tell if honey was in it. I also tried a coconut smoothie and was creamy and delicious definitely best drink between the three. I do like the idea they have to make your drink as sweet as you like and the cover on the drinks are cute. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come here but if I'm passing by might try it again.

    A straight forward boba kiosk in the mall's food court on the 2nd floor. Lots of different options on the menu! There's also some snacks too.

    My boba was hard and not cooked long enough. The milk tea itself was good though. Service was fast. I think I would give it another shot because they had some pretty drinks I didn't try.

    Love this place!! Its a must have whenever I come to this mall location, they have a wide range menu and fast service. Would definitely suggest for any boba lovers!!!

    Great first experience with boba. The customer service was on point. They let us try reg boba and boba pop since we never had it before. We will definitely be back for another treat when we come to the mall again.

    Though it's a little more pricey then a normal Boba Tea location the customer service made it worth it! Stephan and jea'anney (or something like that) really went above and beyond to help me even with nutrition facts details! I was so impressed with the younger girl's personality, skill, speed, and teamwork! If I was hiring for baristas bartenders or servers I'd definately recommend them as well as hiring on the spot! Great job girls! kokee tea, you got two winners on your team!

    It's inside the North Star Mall in the food hall. Both of the boba that I ordered are okay. The Pea lemonade taste like a grape and little bit sour. The Oreo milk tea taste like milk tea. I have not tasted the Oreo at all. The price is about right. Overall, it's okay, maybe their other flavors are delicious but not the one that I ordered.

    Jason H.

    The tea taste is pretty aight, lots of options. I am giving 2 stars instead of 1 cause of the flavor and mix of the Oreo tea. The service was horrible. My second drink for my wife was wrong, and was given to us after the two customers behind us. They were out of lots of options. The employee with the two full sleeves of tattoos was super rude! He rolled his eyes at my questions and barked grumpy orders at the other staff - definitely should not be working in customer service.

    BROWN SUGAR BOBA MILK TEA.
    Charlynne A.

    So was looking for a near by boba shop to satisfy my craving. I made the mistake of thinking this was a standalone shop... it's not. It's in the North Star Mall, on the second floor of the food court. It was alright to me, the boba is average, and the thrown sugar drink was like a 3/5 for me. It's a pretty average place, nothing to exciting about it. But also not too bad.

    Tiger Milk Tea
    Daniel Z.

    I had the Tiger milk tea, which was good. It was a mix of Thai and black tea and I liked it. However the boba tasted stale, like it was from yesterday. It didn't have the normal juicy and chewy texture that I'm used to.

    Yummy mango and passion fruit!

    Lovely and fast staff. Yummy mango passion fruit tea! Kids loved their treats too. We will be back again!

Artea is a pretty decent chain with a wide variety of loose-leaf teas, milk teas & lattes, frozen milk teas/drinks, and a huge selection of specialty drinks such as "cucumber lychee bliss", "strawberry lychee lime green tea," or "mango coconut paradise." They also have a big selection of toppings. I love how they have basil seeds and red bean (2 of my favs). I'm pretty picky about my milk teas, but Artea's has been consistent and not watered down like most. Their food menu, although is quite pricey on some items, are pretty tasty. We tried the $24 ribeye steak fried rice and was pretty happy with it. The bento boxes are a bargain. Parm garlic aioli fries were good. Tonkatsu ramen was with "udon" like noodles, which was different. Lots of finger foods/appetizers to enjoy with your boba. They have a small dessert selection (fried oreos & matcha ice cream). I would say it's one of the better boba joints in San Antonio. My only complaint is that they run out of items on a regular basis--happens more often than I would like--ex: wintermelon milk tea (which is hard to get nowadays, unless you go to KFT).

The boba is delicious and always hits the spot. The food menu is great too!! I've tried the popcorn chicken, poke nachos, and bento boxes, and everything has been solid. Super chill vibe with games and lots of UTSA students studying, so it's perfect for hanging out or getting some work done. Fast service, good quality, and I've never had any issues. Definitely recommend.

This is not our regular go-to Tealicious location but last Friday night since we were around the area after our errands at HEB, we decided to visit. We've been here several times before and I thought perhaps it was just an isolated incident. I let my emotions die down too that's why I waited this long. Just bought four drinks from our regular neighborhood Tealicious on Potranco near 1604 and just can't help finally posting this objective review. Back to the Tealicious by HEB Bandera experience, they are totally consistent...consistently providing a horrible customer service experience. The young lady in the cash register was simply impersonal, dull, and snobbish. Again, we thought this was isolated but on all those several instances we visited this location, we have exactly the same sub par customer service experience. This afternoon visit at Tealicious on Potranco, I asked the young lady if the owners are the same on both locations, she verified it not the same. The staff at the Bandera location needs to learn from these excellent staff members at Potranco. No matter what time of day, or day of the week and no matter who's tending the store, the customer service at Tealicious Potranco is consistently stellar. My experience this afternoon at Tealicious Potranco made me finally decide to post my unacceptable customer service experience at Tealicious Badera. Never ever again visiting Tealicious at Badera, we'll always be loyal to our neighborhood Tealicious at Potranco! The best in customer service, consistent at all times!
