    I got the jasmine apple milk tea with white boba and it was a little bitter and the boba isn't the typical boba texture so it threw me off a little bit. But I really like the champaca milk tea a lot. I'm glad the cue is a lot better now but it does get busy

    Molly tea is super famous. The flavor is so good and the taste is great. Order ahead as always

    Ordered ahead. Always long line. Cool position in the walking alley with all cultural events. Nice tables outsides. Street art mural. Vibrant Ambience Recommended. Very nice tea cream

    Premium Jasmine Matcha and Premium Jasmine Milk Tea

    Finally got to try Molly Tea for the first time recently. The shop itself is small so it's more of a grab-and-go kind of place. I ordered a Premium Jasmine Matcha. The jasmine was fragrant and delicious. The matcha cheese added a nice creaminess to the drink without overpowering the jasmine. It was a nice combination, and I really enjoyed the drink. I love jasmine and this being my first time, I had to get a jasmine drink. However, I would love to try one of their other tea drinks next time.

    Not worth it or tasty in my books, sorry lol. I have given them tries to like it but I just cannot, it's all hype and trend imo. The tea flavor is so light, very weak tasting. I'm always disappointed. You can't taste much. The floral scent is not really coming through, even though the store is fragrant smelling. The camellia matcha just tasted like a matcha drink on the bitter side. The premium jasmine milk tea tasted like very watery milk with faint jasmine flavor. So bland. For the taste it's not worth $7. soo sad :(

    Ok I finally understood why this place always has a line. I pre ordered the coconut drink with pistachio foam and sago pearls per Claude's recommendation and I was not disappointed. This isn't your regular boba spot and in fact you can't get regular boba as an add on - only the transparent, bursting kind is available. It was a very hot day and this was the perfect drink to quench my thirst. I didn't know too much about the difference between the other types of teas but I'll be back to try more.

    Finallllly got to try Molly Tea after waiting for the lines to die down from the grand opening so I'm not waiting 45 minutes for a boba Short-version: I realllly liked the Camellia Oolong milk tea :) We had sago in it but yeah, it's such a unique (in a good way) treat with tasteful floral notes that makes every sip sing. The sago was beautifully done as well (as someone who overly loves boba haha) - and would 100% recommend this drink (and Molly Tea) to be such a standout than your everyday boba. Really can't wait to come back!

    Didn't get the hype about Molly Tea at first, but now I do. I cannot get enough of the Jasmine Apple Milk Tea. It's not overly sweet and the flavor is so floral with a hint of apple. I really wish they would open a location in SF!!! Make sure you get the app to order ahead.

    Very busy store even at night time. I finally stopped by to order after couple months since it opened eve though I pass by it so often. It is just because most of the drink have milk and I don't like tea with milk. The store is small with 2 touch screen ordering kiosk but it was not organized nicely as I can see people just cut the line when ordering even though they came after us. Ordering is simple as the menu is clear. As it was very busy, it took a while for the order to be ready. The pistachio white Champacca coconut was good. This one has no dairy.

    Molly Tea originates from Shenzhen with many locations worldwide. Even though I usually avoid caffeine in the evenings, I couldn't pass up the chance to try one of their drinks. The shop is small and there was quite a crowd. You can order at the kiosks inside, but I scanned the QR code and ordered from my phone. There is a monitor at the window so you can see when your order number is ready. I went with the premium jasmine matcha at 50% sweetness and loved it. It was floral and the matcha was perfect. I will have to return or seek out their other locations!

    I love that they have a kiosk because there are so many drink options and customization options. You can also order online which is helpful. I ordered 3 drinks and they were all great. The stand out drink was the Premium Jasmine Mango Coconut Tea, sugar 50%, with sago add on. It was perfect on a hot day. The cream was delicious on its own and mixed in. The mango was perfectly sweet. I will be getting this again. The Camellia Oolong Milk Tea, less ice, and sugar 70% was enjoyable. The Dancong Oolong Milk Tea, less ice, and sugar 70% was also enjoyable. You can really taste the unique floral notes and flavors of both teas. The staff was very patient. They asked every customer if they'd like the Easter sticker sheet and patiently asked if the customers didn't hear them the first time.

    There was a long line at this Molly Tea location on a weekday night, but luckily the line moved quickly through self service kiosks and fast drink-making. While there is no space for seating inside the boba shop, there is plenty of outdoor seating in this bustling downtown area. I tried their Gardenia Milk Tea with oat milk and boba recently, and it did not disappoint! The drink was very light and paired well with their chewy boba, and there's not that many boba spots that get the floral, gardenia taste down.

    My first Molly Tea! I grew up on drinking traditional Chinese teas so I'm a big fan of the super strong tea flavors. I got the snowy jasmine at 100% sweetness, and it's not sweet at all FYI for those with a sweet tooth. It was very busy and a little bit of a wait but was expected.

    Premium matcha jasmine - so good!! Don't be deceived by how white the tea part is - it is brimming with deep jasmine flavor

    The boba here...so good...very chewy and soft. I've never had such well behaving balls in my mouth…read morein my whole life...service is good!

    Chicha San Chen is the super hyped bubble tea shop from Taiwan that's apparently won a bunch of tea…read morerelated accolades that I won't pretend to be remotely familiar with. Their ordering system is entirely via two kiosks, which can be annoying if the customers ahead are slow, ordering a bunch of drinks, or both. They really should have a policy for cashiers handling smaller orders (2-3 drinks or less) and forcing kiosks only for larger groups. The estimated wait times vary pretty wildly, so take their posted estimates with a grain of salt. It stated 15-20 minutes when I was there, but it took about 25 (and we were just the 2nd group in line, though there were clearly tons of queued orders already with people standing around or sitting waiting). When we finally got our drinks, the Classic Ding Dong Oolong Milk Tea and the Milk Tea with Taro Balls and Taro Paste, I was expecting really prominent tea flavor like you get from the best milk teas in Taiwan and HK, especially given their hand-brewing process for each cup (which partly explains why wait times balloon). Sadly, I got very little tea flavor from either drink. That said, the fresh taro paste and taro balls were very tasty, with the balls having fantastic QQ chewiness. Prices are a bit much though, at almost $10 for that drink alone. I honestly think they could cut costs on gimmicks like the rope carriers (cute for influencers, but pretty useless and likely jacks up the price for regular customers). One silver lining from the long wait is that we spilled over into a free tea tasting slot. Miranda was fantastic as our guide as she was super friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. She walked us through how their Lishan Oolong Tea (sold separately, not used for in-store drinks) is harvested and sun-baked into 5 different varietals, each with unique colors, aromas, and tastes (and following the sun both literally and figuratively in terms of names and descriptors). Overall, it's a fun experience if you enjoy that sort of thing (and your wait happens aligns with a tasting slot or you can always a reserve ahead of time as well), so 5 stars for Miranda and the tasting, but the actual milk teas were lacking and a disappointment given the hype, cost and wait.

The taro flavor was mild and leaned more sweet than rich or earthy. I was hoping for a stronger, more natural taro taste, but it felt somewhat diluted once everything was mixed together. Texture wise, it was okay, though the "tornado" swirl didn't really add much beyond presentation. Service was fine and the shop itself is clean and cute, which makes it a decent spot to stop by if you're already in the area. Overall, not bad, but not memorable either. I might try a different drink next time, but the Taro Tornado alone wouldn't bring me back.
