A cute boba shop with Christmas decor when I went! I stopped by after dinner for some boba and it did not disappoint! I really enjoyed my drink. With that being said, I have pretty gotten other flavors that I did not feel tasted very authentic but I can attest to the winter melon milk tea being good. The service is quick! I'll probably be back to order the same drink. read more

I love Master Tea! I have been coming here somewhat frequently since they opened and must say I think it's the best place to get Bubble Tea in Greensboro! The flavors and tea choices are amazing. I love to try the seasonal selections. But you also can't go wrong with the more traditional bubble teas as well. Today we choose to sample a selection of their snacks too as well as a Bahn Mi. Everything was delicious! Be sure to check out Master Tea! You won't be disappointed. From the service to the food everything is great! read more

Master Tea is a great choice for boba in Greensboro. I got the taro tea with coconut. Yum! And my Bf for the strawberry boba. The staff was super helpful and asked how sweet I wanted it. The ambiance was really cool and a laid back vibe. read more

This is one of my favorite boba tea spots. Not only do they serve boba, but with this hot weather I do recommend trying their iced fruit teas to stay hydrated. My favorite boba is the Thai milk tea! They have small bites to eat as well. I've had the spring rolls and they are delicious. I will say sometimes you will need to be patient because they can get busy but they are always kind and keep pushing the food and drinks out. They have a good amount of seating including the high top seating looking out to market street had plenty of tables deeper in. They have games for in house play it adds a homey feel. read more

I come here every time I visit family specifically for their green Thai tea. I will say, my most recent few visits felt like I was drinking a full sugar bomb. It's become a staple every time I visit my family down in Greensboro so I'm still going to continue ordering from here but definitely request light sugar. read more

Lovely store with friendly decor and chilled out interior! They had many boards games inside, a chalk wall and some basic Halloween decor. I love how relaxed everything was and it wasn't a mad rush neither in the kitchen nor outside. I Had the taro milk tea and double the love and they were wonderfully refreshing. I personally like milk teas less that fruit teas, so double the love was my fav hands down. Getting here was easy, parking was ample and convenient and the menu was laid out perfectly to help with easy ordering. read more

A delicious spot hiding right off of Market St here in Greensboro! We stopped by Master Tea recently for an afternoon lunch and were very pleasantly impressed!! We opted for two different Banh Mi's, two snacks, and some teas. For the Banh mi's we went with the Bulgogi Beef and Lemongrass Chicken and both were phenomenal. Tons of flavor in the meats themselves and fresh toppings and a good amount of spice from the jalapeños, although I think there could have been a few more to balance the sweetness. We will definitely be ordering these both again! For the snacks, we got the popcorn chicken and corn nuggets! Both were fried to perfection and came with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce. Both were tasty and came out hot and fresh as well, will most likely order these again as well. Lastly I went with the Sunset-nada Fruit Tea, a combo of Raspberry tea and a Mango smoothie. This was absolutely wonderful. The perfect drink to cool off in this hot summer heat. We will hands down be coming back to give all of these and more a try!! read more

My name is Lindsey and I'm addicted to Master Tea! First off this is the best place to get Thai bubble tea on the east coast! They use real Thai tea not powder Thai! I have fallen for the TERAKIYI sandwhich with fresh veggies! Literally eat it 3 times a week. It's so fresh and different. Recently switched to mango strawberry green tea to cut back on sugar and it was delicious too! The overall setting is nice and quiet. Alot of people host meet ups. It's a really nice workspace. Love love love this place read more

My daughters are obsessed with boba and most weekends we check out one of the local spots to see get their tapioca pearl fix. Master Tea Cafe is a vibe! I love the atmosphere and space they have set up. It's a small unassuming store front off of Market Street but when you walk in it opens up and you feel like you're some place totally different. They have a wide variety of boba drinks, smoothies and fruit teas. My daughter gave the brown sugar boba 5 stars. They also have a food menu which I haven't tried yet but it's on my list to come back and get a few snacky snacks. Bahn Mi and spring rolls sounds oh so tasty! The service is overall good. However, this place can get pretty busy and you might have to wait a bit for your order. You don't have to be bored waiting though. There's a giant chalkboard wall that you can doodle on while you wait. grab a game off the shelf and play with your friends to burn a little time, or take some pictures for your IG. Whatever floats your boba! read more

The drinks are good, the food is pretty good but overall I don't think it's great, in my opinion. I used to come here a lot when MasterTea first opened in 2018 and drinks were consistent and staff was informative of their menu, but now it's an occasion for me to come visit, and I've noticed drinks are inconsistent at times. I went w/ friends and we all ordered our drinks and banh mi and the wait took a while; probably up to 25 mins. We were fine waiting due to only 2 people working at that time and they told my friend that they had to prep their bulgogi banh mi, so I appreciate the heads up on the communication. They also have plenty of board games so that's a plus! I still like how they have their huge chalk board to write/draw whatever you want and personally I think it adds character to their shop, but the rest of the decor has always been the same and it's kind of over decorated. read more

A more recent visit and update: Good banh mi, good bubble tea, nothing is great though. I ordered the vegetarian banh mi and a regular Thai tea bubble tea with 25% Sugar. The person taking my order was as kind as can be: asked if mayo was ok on my vegetarian sandwich (yep!) and I thought that was very considerate! Bubble tea came out first: whew sugar. Even with 25% I was blown away a bit. Otherwise, nice flavor and tons of chewy boba. The sandwich was good, albeit petite. The menu said vegetarian ham but this was definitely nice tofu, fried, with a normal amount of mayo and maybe some hoisin sauce. A small amount of tofu, I will say. The carrot daikon mix was light, a few cucumber slivers and maybe a hint of a jalapeño. Could have definitely used more spice. The bread was lovely: exactly the crunch and chew you want with banh mi bread. All in all a nice quick lunch, but don't go super hungry! The atmosphere is cute and insta worthy. Take some photos and enjoy the calm! read more

We recently stopped by here for lunch. I ordered the lemon grass chicken ban mih and a brown sugar boba milk tea. The sandwich was very good! The lemon grass chicken was seasoned well and packed with flavor. The toppings tasted fresh. We also split the corn nuggets and they were a yummy side! The boba tea was really good as well. This is the perfect spot to grab lunch! read more

I came backkkkk. Lol in my last review I mentioned coming to catch up on work and trying out a few bites. I did just that. I tried the Caramel Milk Tea with boba. The image is of a regular size cup of this flavor. I thought it was going to be the same size as the last one I had but I'm guessing this may be a special flavor. Anyway, it was delicious. The bites I picked up were popcorn chicken, fried shrimp egg rolls, and sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious. The service was great, I'm not sure if this is a family business but the same folks were working on this visit as well. The ambiance is pretty relaxing. It's a great spot to catch up on work or just come in to sit and enjoy some goodies. The playlist is superb btw, it gives lo-fi vibes. read more

So when I have to run errands, I've been finding myself needing to get a milk tea with boba. This is my second time at this spot and I didn't stay I just got it to go. But it's cute and the caramel milk tea is so good. I love a lot of boba and they give me plenty. I only waited like 1 minute for my milk tea and I noticed the other items on the menu. They do have fruit teas, smoothies, Banh Mi sandwiches and vermicelli bowls. Next time I think I will try one of the sandwiches. Check it out, they have plenty of flavors and teas. read more

I was so excited to come here after seeing their banh mi flavors. The interior is super cute! We got two combos: cold cuts banh mi, bulgogi banh mi, taro milk tea with pearls, milk tea with herbal jelly, spring roll, and fried egg roll. The taro milk tea is made with taro powder, but we were craving taro, so it was still good. The pearls are good and had a nice bite. The milk tea was good and the jelly was similar to kung fu tea. The cold cuts banh mi was good. Not my favorite, but my fiance liked it a lot. The bulgogi banh mi was juicy and the meat itself was super soft. The spring roll came with peanut sauce and was super refreshing. The peanut sauce was addictingly good. The egg roll was heavy and very fried. I didn't like it as much. Overall, good food! I would recommend, but I feel like the price is a little high considering the banh mi received was thin. read more

Decided to give Master Teas a try, per the high reviews of my friend. The place has a very quiet atmosphere. I think it would a perfect place to come to if you're looking for a quiet, atmosphere to get work done or have a chill conversation. I think the staff could've been just a bit more friendly and pro-active in terms of the menu and explaining what they have. I ordered the Mango Refresher with Mango Jelly, which wasn't on the menu but I inquired about sparkling option and found out about it. I don't care for the use of soda to make it sparkling nor all the excessive fruit in my drink. To each its own though. read more

=== RATING: B === Master Tea stands proud as one of the better boba cafe / eateries in the Greensboro (Gso) area. Even after trying the other recently opened boba places in Gso, I always find myself coming back to Master Tea for consistent quality. However, the slow service is one of its biggest drawbacks and I wouldn't come on a busy night. [DRINKS: 7/10] OOLONG MILK TEA (6/10) SEA SALT FOAM CAP (9/10) The milk tea itself is average and the boba alone isn't sweet enough. However, they have hands down the BEST sea salt foam cap I've ever had and I've tried a ton of caps in Gso, the triangle area, and Charlotte. The one here is rich, creamy, and has just the right amount of saltiness. PEACH PERFECT (5/10) This is a pretty average fruit tea. I don't have any complaints about it but I'd want to try something else next time. I do wish that that the huge fruit slices at the bottom were cut up into smaller chunks so that you can eat them through the straw. [SERVICE: 4/10] This is my biggest complaint about Master Tea. On a busy night, orders take FOREVER to come out. They also frequently are "out" of certain drinks (ran out of Double the Love). [OVERALL: 7/10] This place is tried and true. I have no doubt it'll stick around and hold its place as Gso's favorite casual hangout spot / boba cafe. Next time, I'll try the food! read more

Not much to do in North Carolina but to grab a few bites and desserts. Master Tea does a great job executing both. They are prob the masters of North Carolina is why they can charge such expensive prices. One thing that amazed me when I got here was the inside of this place. It was so delightful. Im usually not a fan of walls that have so much decor but they have a lot of decor that expresses life and love. I mean no wall here is safe. Not a single wall is left blank and even the bathroom door is decorated. Feels like a Christmas-y vibe. Great place to take pictures and it's spacious. On the other hand, I ordered the Master's favorite, which contained orange slices and other chewy components and the base was passionfruit. Not that bad. Everyone in my party ordered the guava my way.. which I think was better tho. Didn't get to try any of the milk teas, but the fruit teas are the move! read more

I love MT! This is a great place to grab a tea, coffee, or food, and just hang out for a bit. There are games and books to read, play, and enjoy while you sit. Inside is comfortable and inviting. All there menu items I've tried have been excellent! Granted, you will pay a pretty-penny for stuff, but taking the totality of the experience, it's worth it for me. The only negative thing I have to say is concerning price, but really, it's average pricing for these items. We love us some Master Tea! read more

I have been to this place a few times and it was pretty great when it first opened. I think it's gone a bit downhill since they opened. Last night I ordered the peach perfect and it had no garnishes (it's supposed to have chia seeds, lime and mint). It was just the tea and peach slices. The tea tasted syrupy and overly sweet. I also had a to go order: two sandwiches, fries, and egg rolls. It was a 35 minute wait and I was the first food order. When my food came up, it was missing the egg rolls. Another 6 minutes of waiting for that. Was the food worth a 41 minute wait? No not really - everything tasted okay but I wasn't blown away. Why am I giving them three stars? Because in the past it was much better and the food was edible. Would I go back? Not under my suggestion, if someone else wanted to go I'd join them. read more

Master Tea never disappoints. I only go for the food, but the variety and selection is wonderful! They offer a banh mi combo, with the sandwich, a fresh or fried spring roll and a drink for under $10! You have a multitude of banh mi sandwiches to choose from. In addition, the have a large appetizer menu, including steak & cheese egg rolls, and offer bowls as well. The drinks coming out look delicious, as well, however, I'm not a boba tea fan, so I opt out on those. The only downside is the speed isn't quick, but I also understand that in this day and age, it's hard to find help, so it's understandable. Definitely a must try spot! read more

Situated beside a paint store in a plaza between FantaCity International Shopping Center and Ace Hardware, Master Tea is, like many of Greensboro's hidden gems, easy to overlook. But if you are able to find a parking space in the smallish lot, you will be glad that you stopped by. Whether you have a bubble tea craving, are in search of an inexpensive meal, or just want a break from run-of-the-mill coffee shops, Master Tea has a lot to offer. As the name implies, beverages are the main attraction here, and Master Tea has plenty to choose from. You can opt for milk teas (with boba), fruit teas, hot teas, matchas, coffees, or smoothies. The food side of the menu is more limited but not without appeal. There are seven different types of banh mi sandwiches as well as a few entrees (vermicelli bowls and pho) and snacks that range from the expected (egg rolls and spring rolls) to the surprising (crispy quail and kimchi fries). For our first visit, my wife and I went with a taro milk tea and lemongrass banh mi and a Thai tea and a bulgogi banh mi, respectively. The teas were perhaps the best milk teas in town: smooth and refreshing without any graininess or unpleasantly artificial flavors. The sandwiches were good but not great. The sauces delivered the expected flavors and the meats were none too tough, but both banh mi were a bit small and may rankle sticklers for authenticity. Our food and drinks arrived relatively quickly, and our server was helpful and patient while we ordered. The pricing proved quite budget-friendly though not the outright steal that Banh Mi Saigon Bakery is. Sandwiches were $5 a piece while the teas were $3.75 for a regular (16 ounce) and $5.25 for a large (24 ounce). While Saigon Bakery may off both lower prices and more sandwiches to choose from Master Tea has a distinct advantage in the décor department. From a well-scribbled chalkboard wall to repurposed doors and shutters as ornaments to blue and yellow hues, Master Tea offers a bright and clean environment that is fun and relaxing without being ostentatious. The establishment is also deceptively spacious. Good service, tasty food, and affordable prices make Master Tea a worthwhile lunch/tea/snack option for all but the most steadfast purists. I cannot speak to the quality of the pho, snacks, or smoothies, but what I did taste has given me reason enough to come back. read more

I am from NY and have also had bubble tea from the original place in taiwan. I've had bubble tea from ny, LA, Bay Area, Calgary, DC, Atlanta, Tampa, etc. I consider myself a boba snob. The bubble/pearls at Master Tea are wildly inconsistent. To be honest I've had decent Boba here which I would rate at 6/10 when it is good but at least half the time the boba is terrible. When the boba is substandard the consistency is sometimes very mushy + over cooked and other times undercooked + firm + rubbery. I almost never waste food on especially an expensive $5 drink but I just could not chew anymore of the nasty pearls as demonstrated in the pic. Drink itself was sweet but decent and edible. To be fair the non tapioca food (ie banh mi and wings are pretty good) and the service especially for drinks is very fast. The banh mi and wings take awhile to be served but I'm ok w that Bec they're making it to order and the quality is good. But they need to learn what good boba is (go to flushing ny or kung fu tea in any metropolis) + have better quality control. For example, sample the boba each day at diff times of the day to confirm it's of good quality. If it's bad boba then DON'T serve it; I understand they don't want to waste money but it's not right to serve TERRIBLE boba and charge $5 for a regular milk tea boba. I would highly recommend asking for 2-3 boba/ bubbles before purchasing to confirm they are good that day before spending the money. If it was $1-2 a cup I would take a chance but for $5 it's gotta be decent. read more

Stopped in for a boba tea to go while running errands in the area. The interior is cozy and welcoming. I tried the Thai Tea with boba. I thought it was pretty good overall, though the boba pearls themselves were slightly too soft so they kept getting stuck to one another which made it difficult to drink with a straw. Since this was my first time in, I wasn't sure how sweet they make their milk teas so I opted for 75% sweetness, but next time I'd try 50% since it was still a little too sweet for me. They seem to have a good variety of fruit teas and some hot teas, as well as a food and dessert menu. I'd probably give the tea a 3.5 if I could, but the atmosphere and friendly staff bump it to 4 stars. I'd definitely return if I happen to be in the area again. read more

This is usually my first stop when I visit the GSO area. Expect a wait time of 30-40 minutes for your drink, maybe an hour on their busy days. I do believe their drinks are worth the wait but if it's a simple milk tea, I don't see a 30 minute wait to be acceptable. I did have a bad experience with one of the employees during my first few visits--I ordered an avocado smoothie thinking that boba was included with the order automatically. But later, I found out that it was an extra $0.50 for boba to be included, which was no problem so I tried to pay for the fee to get boba included with the drink but was denied because amount was too small to be using a card as a payment. I understood and politely waited for my drink. My drink was delivered by a male employee which I now presume was a relative of the owners from the way he acted...scolded my sister and I that we should read the menu and said that he included the boba for free for the avocado smoothie and that he's not going to do it next time and that we should read the menu and make sure to request it next. Did not have time to respond because rude man walked off before I could say anything. read more

I was excited about this place. The menu seemed abundant of Vietnamese flavors that my family likes especially pho. When we got there, as we were looking at the menu on the wall trying to decide for a few minutes, the attendant finally tells us there is a limited menu, which does not include the pho. It was weird because as we were eating our 2nd choice Bahn mi (was mediocre), the 2 employees started eating pho right next to our table. I guess pho was just for the employees?? The drinks were great, not much the food. read more

If you're looking for a drink shop with bobas and fruit teas, look no further! Such an adorable cafe located in a tiny strip of shops. There are no outdoor seating but plenty of tables inside. Simply order at the counter and they will bring it out to you. Friendly staff that are highly knowledgeable of the menu and the specifics of the drinks. Cute decor with games you could play to past the time while you wait for your order or just to hang out with friends. The vibe is laid back and IG worthy. Sadly, cafes like these are nonexistent back home so when I stopped by, I didn't get just one drink....nope, not just a second one either. Your girl got three. Because when it comes to Yelping a new place....we just HAD to see what all the hype is about right? The lucky three drink options selected were the "Pinkin of You", "Double the Love", and of course....a matcha milk tea with boba :) "Double the Love" is a lychee lover's dream. An avid lychee eating machine that I am....this one is a definite favorite! Lychee tea with lychee bits and lychee jelly. "Pinkin of You" contains strawberry yogurt with coconut milk, juice and heart shaped jellies. Surely a super girly drink option. Very pretty ombré effect with heart jellies that screams "LOVE ME!!". And you better believe.....you'll fall in love with it. The matcha. Well. I love my matcha and they've done it right at Master Tea that I have nothing but good things to say. Drink items contain a mixture of jellies, fruits and boba. I believe some drinks with come with garnishes such as lime slice, mint and chia seeds. I'm the type to love drinks such as these and well....no matter what you pick off the menu, it's bound to be yummy. Make sure to stop by and give them a try. You might just get addicted but hey, you've been warned. read more

It's very sad that I had to give this place only 2 stars. The food is good, the concept is amazing, but the execution is horrible. Everything boils down to management or lack thereof. Every time I come to this establishment, it looks like an abandoned/neglected child of a business owner. Stuff is EVERYWHERE, unsightly, cluttered, and the overall theme of a cool, young, hip place to come and chill is replaced by images of my 19 yr old brother's bachelor pad. Handwritten posteds are everywhere. I think you don't the APPLE pay... Please clean up, organize things, put things away like you care about serving your customers. There are lots of customers who would patron your establishment if you would just show us that you give 2 shits about the presentation of your business. read more
