    I've been a regular since the beginning, and I have tried their white champaca milk tea, snowy jasmine, white champaca oolong milk tea, dancong oolong milk tea, and even their holiday special jasmine apple milk tea. I have to say, though, I initially really liked this spot because of their strong tea and floral notes, but I have noticed the quality has gone downhill, even though they are still swarmed with customers. I stopped by yesterday to grab their premium jasmine milk tea (which is their signature drink that they're most well known for), but to my disappointment, it was heavily milk forward to the point where the tea flavor and the signature Jasmine floral notes were completely drowned out. I really hope that this was a one time thing and that they would stick true to what they are known for (high quality drinks that are not too sweet and tea forward). The shop itself is undeniably aesthetic. It's sleek, modern, and very clean with their signature pink branding everywhere. I went during Christmas time, and they had Christmas decorations up, and they were playing Christmas music in the background. You mostly order using their kiosks, which definitely makes the experience more efficient. The workers are friendly and very efficient in getting the drinks out as fast as they can. One unique detail worth mentioning is their signature straw. It has three small holes instead of one big opening. It's designed to force you to sip slower so you can actually smell the floral aroma and taste the foam and tea layers together. It does work, as I find that the flavor hits the palate differently.

    We headed over for an afternoon pick me up at around 3:30 pm on a Friday in the campus area. There were quite a few people there ordering at the kiosks but our orders came out in under 5 minutes. They had some seating inside, definitely easy if you go in with a smaller party. Premium Jasmine Matcha - The matcha was so rich and grassy, love that they put it as a cream top so you can taste the full flavor of it before mixing it all together. I love how strong the matcha flavor came through even after mixing in the jasmine milk. My sister had a pistachio drink and I loved the flavor of the pistachio foam which was sweet and nutty. A great place to get high quality teas and matcha drinks.

    Their tea base was pretty good. They are more concentrated in green tea than black tea though. But if you're a green tea lover or jasmine tea, this place is a go to place to grab yourself a drink. I had a Tongmu Lapsang Milk Tea which I like the stronger tea taste than milk taste. Will definitely go back to try other drinks too. I also love the interior of the store. Good to take some photos too. And the servers were fairly nice and friendly too. Because this is located in University City, parking will be something a bit troublesome. So be prepared to park and might need to walk a bit if you can't find a spot right outside.

    I always love Molly tea!! As a big jasmine tea lover... I've enjoyed a wide variety of their drinks from Their simple jasmine milk tea to more adventurous mango smoothie tea to the peach tea to the chocolate hazelnut lava drink and the double hazelnut lava drink. I love their original jasmine milk tea! My friend wasn't the biggest fan as she's not a fan of floral tastes and if that's the case this shop might not be for you! I'd give it 5/5. I love they you can choose your sweetness and ice levels too! The mango smoothie tea was honestly just a 3/5 for me... it was good but if you've tried hey tea... or even mango mango... i prefer those two over this one. Peach milk tea. As peach is one of my favorite fruits... this one tasted a little artificial? Not sure how to describe it but it left a fragrant floral aftertaste in my mouth that was stronger than peach but different than jasmine... 2/5 for me Chocolate hazelnut lava. As a chocolate lover right now... this is yummy!! It kind of tastes like a mix of chocolate milk and jasmine tea... which I think it is haha. It's on the sweeter side even for me who loves sweet drinks so I really appreciate 70% sweetness. This is my current craving and got it twice in less than a week! 5/5 for me!

    Cannot believe they added a Molly Tea after I graduated from Penn Came here everyday while I was visiting campus. I love the Jasmine Milk tea and almost everything on the menu! This isn't your typical bubble tea shop - they specialize in pure milk teas and different foams.

    I've came here twice now-- the first time was during their grand opening. During the grand opening, there were long lines so it took a while to get our drinks. They were doing a buy one get one promo, so that explained the long lines. At my second visit, there was still a wait but no where near as long as the first time. It was my first time trying Molly Tea, and I really enjoyed the jasmine flavor! Very floral. I would come back every time I'm in the area if I could. The inside is shared with another restaurant, but on the side of Molly Tea, they have some tables and decorations. Recently they even added mobile ordering which is nice. The only downside is parking since it's paid street parking.

    Molly Tea near UPenn is a go-to spot for anyone craving a refreshing tea fix! Even though the shop is always busy, the staff are impressively efficient and friendly, keeping things moving smoothly. The store itself isn't very big, so it can get quite crowded inside, but they do have both indoor and outdoor seating if you're lucky enough to find a spot. Ordering is super convenient with their self-service kiosks, and the drinks are consistently great. I highly recommend their matcha and jasmine tea -- both are fragrant, smooth, and beautifully presented in their pretty cups. Parking is a bit limited in the area, so walking or taking public transit might be easier. Overall, Molly Tea is definitely worth a visit for quality drinks and quick, friendly service despite the crowds! I ended up coming back here everytime I come to Philly. Can't wait for them to open a store in DMV area. I will probably be there everyday.

    It was very busy when we went. Minimal seating and the order and pickup area gets a little disorganized. The workers were all doing their best and very efficient I feel like. I got the jasmine mango smoothie. It was like an icy mango slush on top of coconut milk. It was a good amount of sweetness. I especially loved how you could taste the jasmine through the mango smoothie part, but it wasn't overpowering. My only complaint is that I felt that there were crystal jelly balls inside and that unexpected for me and textually too different for me. That of course is a personal preference and the drink itself was good.

    Snowy Gardenia and White Champaca Matcha
    Dillon T.

    First time at this location! We tried the Snowy Gardenia (50% sweet) and the White Champaca Matcha (50% sweet). Both were delicious and around $8 each. The Snowy Gardenia is their gardenia milk tea topped with a signature jasmine whipped cream and crushed (candied?) pecans. The tea itself was beautifully floral and paired so well with their house whipped cream, which was light, airy, and infused with fragrant jasmine. I loved that they even provided a spoon to taste specifically the whipped cream. The White Champaca Matcha was just as unique, with smooth green milk tea and matcha powder blended into their cheese foam. The drink was creamy, earthy, and perfectly balanced when all mixed together. The shop has about six small tables inside that comfortably fit two people each, along with a couple more tables outside. While a few people were working, most were there to chat. Despite a long line when we arrived, the drinks came out quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, Molly Tea is a must-visit for anyone who loves floral teas and delicious toppings.

    Inside plenty of seating

    Huge new Molly tea, milk tea location in Philadelphia, right next to the universities. The inside is so big and there is lots of seating. The inside also smells so good similar to other molly teas. I was super excited to try it and I will surprise that that location was so big and had such a large amount of seating. There was seating right next to the register both on the left and right side. This is where I first tried the peach oolong milk, tea, and it is by far still my favorite and I am still hoping for them to bring it back as soon as possible. Only thing that sucks is that you need a new membership for each state. My membership from New York does not work here so I can't use my New York account card that has value in it to pay. Nor can I get points for my purchase unless I need a new account.

    This place is pretty good. I got the matcha tea with boba. Keep in mind, the milk teas can kinda be a little heavy. It came out pretty fast despite it being somewhat busy. I will say, this place has very limited searing and is connected to another restaurant so it can get crowded really fast. Other than that, it has a good selection on the menu and nice decorations.

    I absolutely love Molly Tea, the first time I had it was in China, so when I heard they were opening one here in Philly I was so so excited! My absolute favorites are the premium jasmine milk tea and the snowy dancong. All with less ice and 70% sugar. The tea flavor is strong and shines through effortlessly. It's definitely comparable to the one I had from China. There's only one size, medium and I wish they'd made a large version! The workers work super fast and the store is small, but nice & sleek inside. If I ever have a craving for milk tea I would definitely come back!

    Elaine T.

    The place is really cute but small and has limited indoor seating and is connected to Nan Xiang Express. It is always crowded and drinks take about 5-10 min. The quality of the tea is good. I ordered the hazelnut jasmine tea chocolate drink and it tasted like chocolate milk with jasmine. I forgot that i had already reviewed Molly Tea.

    It was really interesting to be able to try two Tea Do Philly locations in the span of two days,…read morebut good news, guys. We found this one to be better than the one in Chinatown! So fascinating. I thought I was going to have to rough it out through another green coconut drink in order to compare these two locations properly, but it turns out this location doesn't even have green coconut as an option (which is what I got at the other location- spoiler, I would not recommend)! This was the first green flag, and it only got better from there. Even though I love special, unique drinks as much as the next person, I think you gotta have that good old fashioned bubble tea staple store that just serves everything all in one place. I'm talking whatever you're craving, whatever flavors you want at any given point in time, they'll have it. And Tea Do is just that: their menu is huge and extensive, and you're bound to find something that you feel like having. We ordered (rating): Sakura Rose Milk Tea with Boba (3.7/5), The Grasshopper (3.5/5), The Hulk (4/5), Oolong Milk Tea with Boba (4.2/5), Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba (5/5) I got their sakura rose milk tea which was one of their recommended drinks. I wouldn't say I get rose milk teas a lot, but I'd say this was one of the better ones I've had because both the rose and the tea parts of the drink stood out on their own! Some years ago I compared components of boba drinks to main and side characters, so I am thrilled that we have two main characters here. On the other end, though, this tea did lean more watery rather than creamy. What did stay consistent across the two stores was the boba, which comes a bit softer than our ideal texture, but the sweetness of the sugar that they must have steeped these boba in definitely shined through. I wouldn't say they tasted like brown sugar boba, but my sister says that they did; point being that you'll get some kind of sugary taste and isn't that all you really need to know?
