I been wanting to try out this tea spot out in Johns Creek for a while. This place is off Medlock Bridge Rd with plenty of parking. It was not busy when I came here on a Saturday afternoon. I love their wonderful selection of fruit tea drinks and the toppings are always plentiful inside. I can't wait to come back here to try more of their drinks! read more

Greatea in Johns Creek is one of my favorite spots! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a beautiful Scripture quote on the wall and a cozy, inviting atmosphere with pink and dark green decor. I love how this place blends faith and flavor so seamlessly. The boba drinks are consistently excellent--never artificial tasting, always fresh and satisfying. And the people working at the counter has always been friendly & professiona. I've brought so many friends and family here, and everyone always loves it. Whether you're a boba regular or new to it, Greatea is a must-visit! read more

My go-to spot in Georgia for the last 8 years!! Greatea is always SO consistent in their flavor and tea quality! The shop is owned by such a sweet lady and the service is always incredibly welcoming and fast. I get the signature yellow cream with less sugar and ice, she's perfection. I'm even lactose intolerant but somehow this doesn't give me a stomach ache. There's also plenty of space to sit, hang, and work remotely if needed. read more

Probably the best tea shop in the Johns Creek area. I didn't go in the shop myself so I can't comment on the service. But I did try their teas to go. And I was very impressed after trying too many mid tea shops. I tried their classic Greatea milk tea and it was great. It had a great flavor and tasted very fresh. The boba was a great, chewy texture and not too sweet as well. I also tried a Mango Yakult drink which is like a fruity yogurt drink. It was very good as well and a great no-caffeine option. I can't have too much caffeine so these drinks are a great option. This is inside a plaza on the side. It has been open for many years and I have been meaning to try this place forever. But only got around to it recently. I would definitely be open to trying other flavors if I'm in the area. read more

Prime tea - Classic and Yakult - Bubble Tea Near Me - Johns Creek, Georgia

First time I went here I got milk tea with 0% sugar and boba, but the boba came soaking in brown sugar and I thought the drink was really sweet. I decided to give it another try, again 0% sugar with sago this time since most boba places I've gone do not soak the sago in syrup. Again, my drink was incredibly sweet and I asked the worker to confirm it's 0 sugar and she said yes. She said that the sago might be the problem since it comes with syrup. I asked if I can get another drink without sago (which I paid extra for, but this time I'm not even expecting toppings inside) and she said they can't replace my drink, I would have to put in a new order. Both times I threw my drinks out. I'm incredibly disappointed. I paid $7-8 for the drinks each time, which is already overpriced in my opinion, but not having an opportunity to get a replacement drink I would enjoy is ludicrous. I don't know how anyone can drink 100% sugar and get boba/sago here without throwing up. At 0% sugar with the toppings is already so inedible. read more

I got the black sesame milk tea 75 sweet, less ice. Didn't like it as much as the taro milk tea I got last time. The black sesame flavor is not very strong and wasn't what I expected. Also would get 50 sweet instead of 75. Overall it wasn't bad, but would probably just stick with the taro milk tea next time. This location is smaller than the suwannee one. There are 2 larger tables and 5 two person tables. There's a few outlets along the wall. There's also a restroom in the back for customers. read more

great tea and service! i love their namesake drink, it tastes like a rich custard. their boba is warm and fresh as well. highly recommend!

Top tier boba! Checked out Greatea after my boba connisseur of a friend said that this was her favorite spot. The hype matched the experience! Great tasting tea, perfect boba texture (soft and chewy), and great service. The menu is extensive and there are a handful of drinks that I'd like to try next. I got the Greatea w/ boba. Prices under the Creamy Milk Tea section are pretty standard while all other drinks are a bit pricey. Regardless, given the quality, it's worth it! This is now my #1 favorite boba spot in the greater ATL area read more

Hidden gym in Johns creek. Its easy to miss as its tucked inside a complex. Really nice place to hangout with your friends. Plenty of seating inside. Lot of options Milk tea, Fruit tea, Slushies etc. They also serve few snacks. Milk substitutes avaliable for an additional charge. Service was a bit slow. But the teas were made fresh. The guava tea had real Guava fruit inside them! The best fruit tea i had in a while. They have seasonal stuff as well. Go check them out. Plenty of parking in the shared complex. read more

I almost missed this spot as it was in the corner of the plaza and slightly hidden with a very generic sign, but I'm glad I didn't! I was recommended to come here by a friend who knows her boba and I wasn't disappointed. They have a great selection of teas and even more awesome--tons of flavors of crystal boba. The Rose tie guan yin tea was really good, boba was chewy and cooked through...I couldn't find any fault. I'm not sure about the milky teas or fancier drinks, but I can attest that their straight up teas are legit. Overall, great variety of teas, lots of toppings and customizations...this is the place for all your boba cravings! read more

I most def love a good milk tea. After visiting the Crystal loft, I stopped in here. The vibe was warm and welcoming. Typically I'll do a taro milk tea. Today I decided to try something else. The Oreo. My server was patient with me as this was my first time here. She made my drink in record time. It was great! Stop in when you get the chance! #ashsaidit read more

I got their house milk tea and a Yakulk Mango tea. Both were pretty good there is a kiosk to order the tea but it doesn't contain the full menu. They have another location in downtown Suwanee which is hard to park. Apparently, this tea shop has been opened for at least a decade. The closest boba shop to Greatea is Kung Fu Tea just because there are many similar choices. Cost is in line with shops around. There are 2-3 tables for you to study and use their Wi-Fi. This boba shop is located inside Ivy Fall Shopping Center so they get a lot of dance student, SAT prep center, and doreimi music student patronizing this shop. read more

Me and my family have been coming to Greatea for 8 years now. I honestly cant believe i haven't done a yelp review yet! Lydia and the rest of the staff have been incredible to us and have made us feel like family. Now that i'm in college, I look forward to coming home just so i can get Greatea! There is nothing i haven't tried and i can confidently say everything is good here. But you can never go wrong with a greatea:) read more

Trying this new place for the first time and is not disappointed. It is a comforting place to sit and chat with friends for a bit as there are seats with outlets on the side. However there doesn't seem a trash can available or a restroom inside. There was a wide variety of drinks. Getting three drinks for a total of $22, the drinks were good but nothing amazing. They are just average milk tea drinks so if you just wanted a quick stop to grab a drink then this is still a really good place. I did not grab these items but they also offer food such as waffles and hotdogs if wanted. Their signature Greatea is just an average milk tea. The Taro milk tea does not have a strong taro flavor and is mainly tea. The Mango sago is very thick and not strong in flavor even though I got extra sweet. Overall, it is an okay place to get a quick drink. read more

What do you expect... This is GREAT TEA (haha!). But truthfully, this is one of the greatest teas in the area. I love the tea that they brew for their drinks here, as well as the lovely ladies behind the counter that are always so sweet. My go-to order is always the oreo milk tea, which admittedly is their normal milk tea with whipped cream and oreo topping on top--HOWEVER, they know how to make it just right. I love the tea at its finest, and it's very sweet. I recommend lowering sweetness level if you do not have a big sweet tooth. The interior has some cozy chairs and good spot to catch up with friends. Parking is easy with the parking lot directly outside. read more

Nice little bubble tea shop! I came right when they opened and they had pretty steady traffic coming in. The employee was super helpful with explaining which drink best suited my wants and I ended up with a classic with boba and it had creme and tasted like custard. Delicious!!! Pricing is about average with nearly $5 a drink with boba. The pearls were chewy and tasted sweet. Perfect to cure my craving! I'm definitely returning to try more drinks! read more

Clean area and the drink was to die for!! I totally recommend getting the passionfruit honey tea, as the servers were so kind and recommended it. totally will be visiting again. read more

Greatea is not the typical Taiwanese, Boba Franchise that went global and opened up locations in metro Atlanta. It's actually a local business owned by local business owners. hey use fresh ingredients in their tea. They get their teas from taiwan and try use fresh fruits for their fruit teas. They also have creams and custards you can add into your teas. To elaborate, their Creamy Milk Teas all come with some sort of cream or custard. I tried their Great Tea, which has some egg based cream/custard. You can see it smeared on the side of the cups (like how you can see the syrups in Hokkaido teas in other shops). That gives the tea a decadent, creamy texture. It's interesting. Their Taro Creamy Milk tea is delicious because they use fresh taro in it. It also comes with cream. Like other boba tea places, you can adjust your sweetness from 150% to 0%. Personally, 150% is ridiculous (I always get 0%. Also with the cream (and any other toppings), there is already sweetness in there). But if calories doesn't matter, and you have a massive sweet tooth, that's an option for you. For toppings, you have your standard toppings-boba, aloe jelly, grass, jelly, lychee jelly, and many others. If you want it, they probably have some sort of topping for it. If you don't like what they offer, you can build your own tea. Use whatever tea for your base, (oolong, black, buckwheat, etc), add whatever milk you want, whatever toppings you want, make it hot or cold, etc. The place is cute and small. It looks like an stereotypical, intimate boba tea shop. It's not a place to bring a huge group due to the space. When it gets popular, the line takes up most of the space inside the shop. The people seem nice and they make the teas fast. If you're in the area, the competition is fierce if you're craving boba tea. Great tea should be on the rotation in my opinion, at least to try their creamy milk teas. read more

Greatea still remains to be a hidden gem of a boba spot in John's Creek. Their prices are slightly higher but quality, low sugar levels and cute drink cups and cafe are well worth it! Purely food based review: Mango Sago with Crystal Boba ($8) - Part of their new summer drinks menu of fruity teas. Super fresh, crystal boba and sago go well with mango. Not overly sweet at all, no adjustments needed! read more

I have always loved Greatea--it is my favorite boba place in Atlanta!! I wanted to add on that I recently got married and was lucky enough to get to use Greatea as my "special bridal drink" on our bartending menu. They were so easy to work with! I must've called the poor girl at the store like 10 times (Natalia), but each time she answered and was so patient and helpful with each of my questions! And the tea arrived without a hitch, and all of our guests LOVED IT. Many hadn't heard of it before (since it's not really in metro Atlanta), but those who hadn't said it was their new favorite! The jugs, cream, and boba all held up really well throughout the night and it was one of the highlights of my evening! read more

Still the best bubble tea in greater Atlanta area so far! I think it holds the most authentic tasting. My family's favorite is the osmanthus milk tea less sugar. They just redid the interior and it's lovely! Really really love it much more than before they took out furniture due to COVID! read more

Pro tip: Get the buckwheat tea at 25% sweetness (pretty sure it's only available at this location). Best, most refreshing bubble tea in the area! Cons: The line is always very long. However, the lady at the front always works really hard and it moves efficiently. Probably average wait of 15-20 minutes if you see a line that stretches to the door. read more

Drinks were great! Got the strawberry lychee tea w no sugar and I was able to enjoy the taste of the fruit flavor. I liked how they used real fruit pieces in their drinks so it didn't taste artificial at all. read more

Prime tea - strawberry lychee & watermelon lemon detox water - Bubble Tea Near Me - Johns Creek, Georgia

Really like this little local shop on the outskirts in Atlanta! It's kind of out of the way but extremely convenient if you're in the area and craving boba. They have a pretty extensive menu, lots of milk teas, cheese foam teas, fruit teas, a detox juice selection, and they've added waffles and ice cream. In my opinion their original milk tea "Greatea" is phenomenal. Super creamy and milky and I'm pretty sure they add condensed milk around the cup on the drink. Everything else I've had is pretty solid and it's great if you're not feeling a chain shop and looking for something more local read more

Prime tea - Greatea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Johns Creek, Georgia

Everyone kept saying Greatea was the best! Then Sharetea and Tea Top came along - is it still the best now? I don't think so. But I did like the tea I ordered! Everyone kept recommending the Greatea, which they use condensed milk with. I ended up trying the Traditional Bubble Tea, which was very similar. I got the lightest sugar level, which made it hard to compare with others who ordered the Greatea at the regular sugar level. The tea is good. Nothing different from what I've tasted before. But it's definitely better than some of those new shops that have been popping up these days. There is pretty limited seating, relatively, so it may not be the place to sit around and hang out during peak hours. Even so, seeing as Greatea is a bit far from where I live or usually drive to regularly, but if I'm ever in the area, it's definitely worth another try for a different drink! read more

Went there for the first time and so glad I did ve has this place was so good. The atmosphere of Greatea is very cute, pleasing and calming.

Also they price for the amount is great too read more

Rumours of my demise have been Greatea exaggerated, but there's no exaggeration when I say this is one of the better Boba spots in the ATL burbs. And when I say burbs I mean way, way far out in the distant burbitos. This is a really cool little place in the far distant northeast suburbs of Atlanta. I was very happy that they served me close to closing time and I enjoyed their products, even though they're a little bit too sweet. Adjust sugar levels if you agree. Service is really nice and I like the decor as well. Definitely one of the better options in the Atlanta area and there are plenty of options. I got two drinks because I was grateful that they served me late - one with milk, one fruit tea, and both were pretty good. I liked the milk one a bit better. I would say that Greatea has Goodtea, not Greatea. read more

My daughter and I stopped by today, and I'm so glad we did! We got the strawberry lychee fruit tea with bubbles and the pink guava fruit tea with cheese and lychee jelly, both with normal sugar and ice. They were both delightfully fresh with real fruit included! We loved the drinks, ambiance, and patient cheerful service! The only thing I might do differently next time is go light on the ice, since we had a harder time finishing our toppings at the end with all the ice in the way. :) read more

Came here after lunch on Mother's Day. The place is small and cute. Limited indoor and outdoor seating. It was pretty busy and there was already a line when we arrived. After looking over the menu, we decided on: Naigai Uji Matcha Lychee Fruit Tea Naigai Peach Incense Oolong Eggette (2) Hot Mixed Fruit Tea Our total was $30+. They hand you a buzzer, which will go off once the order is ready. There was a 10-15 minute wait for the orders. I think there were only 1-2 people working and the same person who took the orders had to make the food and drinks himself. We didn't mind the wait and the wait was actually worth it. We really enjoyed the eggettes and the drinks. My favorite was the Naigai Uji Matcha with the milk foam. Mmm... so refreshing! I like that you can customize the sweetness. I asked for less (75%) and it was plenty sweet. Greatea is a great addition to John's Creek! read more

I picked up the brown sugar drink from here and it was one of the best in the city. The boba is tasty as well as not too sweet. You also get a good amount for your money. I'd recommend trying this place out. read more

Prime tea - Brown Sugar Drink - Bubble Tea Near Me - Johns Creek, Georgia

I was craving bubble tea and was happy to come try out this place. I am usually hesitant about getting the taro tea as most places use powder, but I read several reviews raving the real taro so I had to try it myself. I ordered a large ($4.99) and you can adjust sugar and ice level as you please. They do have a disclaimer that less ice doesn't equal more volume. I ordered 50% sugar and thought the drink was still quite sweet to my taste. The boba was a little softer in my opinion, but not so soft where it is gross. The taro tea itself was very tasty and the real pieces and mashed taro was just excellent. The gentlemen behind the counter was very friendly and gave good suggestions for the customer ahead of us. There were other teas that I was curious about and will try at a later time. Overall, cute decor + free wifi and was pretty quiet even though there were many customers inside. They have several tables outside for a pretty day. read more

Prime tea - Taro milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Johns Creek, Georgia

Delicious Boba tea! Highly recommend getting the taro which actually has bits of taro pieces in the tea making it extremely delicious and authentic. Their boba is the perfect consistency - soft and chewy. They also have the Naigai that I wasn't adventurous enough to try. It's apparently this cheesy, creamy, salty foam on top of the tea. Personally, I've only ever had sweet teas and was not sure about giving this salty tea a chance. Maybe next time. Greatea is a great place to study with free wi-fi but does not have a very big interior. There's one large table that's great for group studying, two small tables that sits two and four couches. read more

This is my favorite bubble tea spot! I really love their naigai drinks - teas that are topped with a cream cheese milk cap. I usually get the Four Seasons Green Naigai Tea & really enjoy it! A lot of the bubble tea places around offer these milk cap toppings, but Greatea's is by far my favorite! Their version is just perfection and so good! Another good choice is their taro milk tea! I really think it's the best taro milk tea I've tried. Love it! read more

I tried 2 teas and waffle. The teas were ok. The wait for the waffle is 15 mins they say but ended up waiting longer.

The tea here is kinda expensive but it's good! I had a passion fruit number with actual passion fruit pulp and seeds in it. The Oreo tea thing is more like a milkshake. They also have the cheese tea fad and apparently it's more savory but good. The shop itself is very small but there's plenty of parking. I wouldn't bring a lot of people here. They also put fruit in their hot tea. It was super cute and Instagram looking lol I'd recommend trying it as they have a ton of selections & everything seemed pretty good even if pricey ($6 for a drink ) read more

I mean... it's not bad in my opinion but I like tea top better. It's probably just personal preference, idk. Normally I order Taro Milk Tea w Sago hot, but they wouldn't let me order it hot here.. only cold. I thought that was kind of odd. I also feel like have a limited selection of milk tea options compared to other places. My friends love their cheese tea (I guess that's their specialty), but I personally am not a huge fan. I have tried their egg waffle which was pretty good.. reminded me of HK. read more

This small shop is located in Johns Creek and I am so glad I decided to give it a try as I would drive by it every day on my way home from work. This place does get pretty busy and it has limited seating. I always get the original Greatea - a black milk tea that is made with fresh milk and their signature special cream. This drink is extra creamy and rich - I always find it to be a special treat when I get it! I have never found any issue with my drinks and they have always come out perfectly for me. I have also tried their taro milk tea which comes with fresh taro - delicious! I would highly recommend you to give this place a try if you're in the area. read more
