I've been coming here for a while now and every time I order something always is either not cooked right or i'm always waiting a long time for an item. Today was just the icing on the cake. I ordered on uber eats for pick up it said it was ready but when I arrived I had to wait an additional 40 minutes for the order!? Then they don't even offer to fix things but just ask if I wanted a cup of water.. Never coming here again. Service is horrible and the food as well.

Taro Twister and Roasted Oolong Milk Tea
Darwin V.

Five stars! This is a great spot to get some work done. The staff is super helpful and they are very generous with their portions. The drinks tasted great, but the best part is the setup--plenty of outlets available, a clean restroom, and a solid atmosphere for studying.

Thai Iced Tea

Parking for Li Cha is plentiful; what's hard may be finding Li Cha, though. The easiest way to find Li Cha (despite having Google maps) would be to go towards the middle of the plaza, where it's grassy. From there, it's right next to the Blue Palms Brewhouse. I had their Thai Iced Tea with quarter sugar - just perfect - with boba. The boba was definitely on the sweeter end, but their lightly sweet Thai tea was perfect. Service was okay; my friend and I were both not acknowledged for a bit. Wi-Fi is available, though note that working here can be fairly difficult as the music is blasting in the background. There is an claw machine inside, though it was fully empty. Though it was difficult to work, they did have plenty of power outlets, which made it easy to find an open spot.

popcorn chicken and taro twister shake
Belen P.

Tried Li Cha Tea during my lunch break and left with a positive impression of the quality of the food and boba beverage I ordered! I have tried popcorn chicken at a few boba spots and Li Cha Tea's has been my favorite by far! I would recommend trying the chicken with the variety of sauces they have (the sweet garlic soy was one of my favorites). The taro blended drink with boba was also yummy and something I'd order again

Inside

I'm here again! Yay! Love their milk tea and popcorn chicken. Never disappoint and always satisfied. They have special deal during weekdays. Service is good and fast and staff are welcoming and smiling.

Mission accomplished! My husband says this is the first place that makes Thai iced tea exactly how he likes it. My roasted oolong was also fantastic, great tea flavor. The floor was pretty sticky, which was a bit of a downer, but the drinks are so good we'll definitely be back if we're nearby. Focus on the excellent tea and you won't be disappointed!

I'm so glad I found this place! It's the perfect place to study or do some work. There are plenty of tables and chairs, as well as outlets to keep your devices charged. Ambiance is nice. The place isn't too bright. They have decorated for the Halloween spirit this month :3 There are plenty of tables and chairs outside as well. It's a nice little area. You could bring fur friends and kiddos! There are other food places nearby. Parking is easy and there's plenty of it. I did come on a Sunday, so I'm not sure if it gets busier during the week when most students come in. I got their popcorn chicken and Thai tea. Both are really good! Only thing is, which could be both good and bad, the popcorn chicken is very flavorful and salty. I love it, but I can only eat a couple of pieces - unless I pace myself or share with others

Popcorn chicken w boba

Do yourself a favor and go try their winter melon milk tea with boba. And their popcorn chicken. Just do it. Chicken is hot and crispy and we enjoy it best w sweet & sour sauce. Milk tea is creamy but light and refreshing. Ample seating and parking. It's a great place to hangout or study. Our church loves this place lol!

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 "I was craving boba and came across this shop on Yelp, it looked promising. When I arrived, I was a bit confused at first because I thought it faced the main road, but it's actually tucked inside a little compound. Once I parked and walked toward it, I felt relaxed seeing the community grass area where families and kids were hanging out, with tables all around for people to gather. The space is shared with other restaurants, giving it a nice, lively vibe. I ordered the Okinawa milk tea and popcorn chicken. The prices are reasonable, and the chicken portion was generous. The milk tea stood out from the usual boba drinks I've had, and the chicken was crunchy with a well-balanced flavor. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of their milk teas!"

New menu with new things to try. exciting! Honey peach smoothie is tasty and definitely on the sweeter side. Next time I have to remember to ask for 50% sweetness if I don't want to be bouncing off the walls

Sweet and sour sauce is really good with the popcorn chicken
Nicole M.

I've been going to this spot since they opened, they have rebranded but the food and boba are still the same and really good. My favorite snack is the popcorn chicken and curly fries. Boba is also really good and they have a stamp card! There is always parking and plenty of places to sit inside and outside on a nice day. Enjoy!

Are your milkshake done with real ice cream?

Hi Teresa! Thanks for the question. We use real milk for our shakes, but we don't have ice cream at this time. There's also an option to add whipped cream if you like.

I love their drinks, but I really feel like the customer service is SEVERELY lacking. I follow them on Instagram; I see how much fun they have and how enjoyable it is to work there, but I swear as soon as I walk in and go up to order, I'm met with stone-faced employees. No warmth, no kindness, no connection. It takes away from the experience itself because they seem like they don't want to be there, or at least unwilling to help customers. It takes them a very, very long time to prepare the drinks as well. I waited quite some time, as I usually do when I come to BLTea; I'm always prepared to wait. So long that sometimes I even forget I got something. Today, I noticed that while people were waiting in the lobby for their drinks and the online ordering system beeped for an incoming order, they were all (mind you, like 4 people) in the back, chatting it up. I don't know how else to say this, but I fear this may be my last time coming here. This is in no way to bash the establishment itself, the owner, or the drinks, but as a bit of feedback from a longtime customer and a barista myself, PLEASE work on your customer service.

I'll start with the negative and it's a big one. The parking here SUCKS!! The parks are tight, it's in a small plaza, and getting out is a hassle. If you catch it at peak time you can park at the McDonald's next door and walk over. Once you arrive, you'll enter a nice clean open area with a few chairs and tables to enjoy your food and drinks. They not only have boba drinks, smoothies, slushies, and fruit teas, they have a bunch of food selections too. I've tried the popcorn shrimp & curly fries and they were pretty good. What I usually order is the passion fruit teas with lychee jelly but this time we ordered the passion fruit tea, pineapple smoothie with lychee jelly, milk tea boba and Thai tea boba. I usually order from the person at the front desk but they now have a kiosk to order on and it's easy. My advice is to probably kick the sweetness down to 80%, which is my sweet spot but the boys take it to the max lol. Overall, it's a cool spot, it's close and if you go during the off peak hours the parking isn't a problem. Lastly, avoid this place when the kids aat Birmingham get out of school. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros

The garlic sauce and hot sauce and you must use it. I swear it makes a huge difference. Also like any dumplings you must consume it right away.

I've also tried the Spicy Wontons, which were small but tasty. The big sell here is the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, for $17.95. This is the only dish that's served in a big ceramic bowl, and not a to-go container. It also comes with a proper Ramen soup spoon. This is a meal on it's own. Filled with broth, noodles, chunks of tender, but fatty beef, daikon radishes and bok choy. The dish is good for the price, but the broth was a bit underwhelming for my taste. Fortunately, they have plenty of condiments to add more spice and heat. Over all, Bafang Dumpling was better than expected.
