This sweet girl chloe was just so nice and polite. 10/10 service, she was working alone but still kept a calm and happy environment. The drink she made me was excellent. Definitely will be here again. read more

We checked out the new Rare Tea on their opening day. Of course it was packed, which was to be expected. It was nice they were giving out a buy one get one deal to grab customers in. We tried the Thai milk tea and a strawberry milk tea, we added brown sugar boba to both. We also asked for half sugar, which was a smart choice. But they messed up the order and took awhile to fix it, not sure if it was correct in the end. Either way both drinks ended up being really good, the taste was definitely there and the boba was fresh. I liked the added sweetness to the boba itself, it's different from your typical honey boba. Would come back again and try more options. Love new boba spots! read more

I can't get over how good the boba was here. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and flavor. I can't wait to come back and try more of their drinks. We only ordered the caramelized brown sugar milk tea and it definitely was not what I expected since it didn't look anything like the pictures we saw on Yelp with the same exact drink but with more boba. I thought there would have been more brown sugar around the glass. Maybe it was sitting awhile before we got there so everything settled on the bottom? All and all was just so happy with how good the boba was. You know it's a good spot when my two year old is even excited for it. If you love boba make sure you check them out! read more

I really wish I could like this place more. It's conveniently next to two of my favorite places to dine/grab food at--Jollibee and Manna. However, every time I've been here, I've been disappointed. Their drinks (black milk tea and jasmine milk tea) remind me a lot of Ume tea (which I also dislike) in the sense that it tastes extremely watered down with the texture of thick creamy milk. My entire party and I traditionally go get milk tea right after kbbq, and you know it's bad when nearly all of us decide to opt out on going next door to grab Rare Tea :( read more

This boba spot never fail to disappoint me. The ONLY place when it comes to milk tea, because they actually have the option of using REAL milk. Most boba places use non-dairy mill such as powdered milk or half-half in their milk teas. They also have the option of Oat Milk. My favorite is the Roasted Oolong Tea Presso with extra tea. I like my milk tea to be super rich with more taste of the tea, 75% sweetness. read more

Rare Tea - Roasted oolong tea presso with aloe and brown sugar boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Rare Tea Chandler is one of the newer boba tea shops in my area, and I had to give it a try. I know what I like from places like Rare Tea, but I decided to try their most popular item (according to the employee I asked) and ordered their Okinawa Milk Tea. The tea I had was very good, and I was more than pleased with the amount of boba that was present. Some places are a little light on the amount of boba that they use, but I wouldn't say that is true of Rare Tea. With that said, the drink I had is virtually identical to basically every other classic milk tea I've ever had. Good by all accounts, but nothing in particular stood out to me as particularly special. They have your typical boba tea offerings and then some less than typical things like ceremony-grade matcha and an ice cream milk tea (an affogato subbing the coffee for milk tea) that sound very interesting, and leave me curious enough to want to go back next time solely to try these things. read more

A family favorite! This bubble tea place has the best brown sugar boba that we have had in Arizona hands down. The quality of the drinks as well is great and they brew their tea for the milk tea so it's strong compared to other places and it's not powder thankfully! We go here all the time to get our boba fix Some favorites: original milk tea, mango milk tea, mango smoothie, peach black tea, must try's! They also offer mochi icecream and the occasional cute macaroons in the front for sale Service here is always amazing, the employees are always so sweet read more

Rare Tea - mango milk tea with brown sugar boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

This place is in a prime location and can be easily spotted. I went on a weekday around 8 pm and there was no one. Well, maybe that's not the time to drink tea, lol! The place is cute and very clean. I was greeted warmly. I browsed through the menu and wanted a milk tea - Heavenly goddess. This is where I was a little unhappy, the staff didn't know the menu and kept asking what it was, even after explaining and telling what I wanted, the staff wasn't sure. I also asked for 50% sugar and 50% ice but the tea I got had 0 sugar, it was a little frustrating by then. I went with lychee jelly, The pricing came as a surprise, I paid $7.50 for the regular size. The tea tasted good even without the sugar. I would love to give it another chance and pick another tea that is easy but for now, not very happy with my cuppa. read more

Look no further. RareTea is the holy grail, the nirvana of milk/boba tea establishments. Seriously, RareTea is exactly what they claim: rare. If you want the best tasting boba and/or milk tea anywhere inside the 202 loop, this is your store. You could say that I have high standards and exquisite taste. I've tried many, many, many milk/boba tea joints. I've given up on Bubble Bee altogether, for example. I don't care that they're in Kierland and SanTan. Their boba is typically cold and too hard. Nowhere on this planet have I ever seen matcha with rose syrup, except at RareTea. It's absolutely divine and that'd be my first recommendation. My second recommendation would be the "Okinawa" which I believe is hojicha, aka roasted tea. Absolutely phenomenal. It's hard to choose between the two, but with either of these, you can't go wrong. The service is always friendly, the premises are always clean. Plenty of parking. Located near the 202 freeway, movie theaters, restaurants and even Home Depot, it's a good idea to drop in for your favorite pick-me-up instead of doing Starbucks. Make sure you make RareTea your regular. It's the only place I'll buy boba/milk tea drinks anymore. read more

I was so happy to discover this place before heading back down to Tucson. The shop is located in a spacious plaza with many shops near by. The service was super nice and fast but I which the girl knows what the drinks are because I asked her about a drink name differently like jade princess or something but she couldn't tell me what drink that is. Overall, she gave me a lot of boba and the tea is very strong. read more

My favorite boba shop in the area. Tried both the signature and oolong teapresso milk teas and both had great roast-y flavors that were able to stand out even with the strong creaminess of the milk. Their matchas are my brother's favorite because honestly ceremonial grade matcha makes all the difference-- enough tea flavor without that chalky aftertaste that a few other boba shop matchas have left. Would pass on the kiwi drink though a little too sweet and juice like for me even though it's a top seller. The aiyu jelly didn't quite match expectations as it is a little firmer(?) than what I've had at another location (in Berkeley, CA) Strawberry snow creme was ok as well, good fresh strawberry flavor. Not overwhelmingly sweet or artificial. Brown sugar boba with fresh milk was all the trend for a while and its a nice sweet treat if that's what you're in the mood for. Good boba with the qq texture meeting expectations. read more

We enjoyed the Strawberry Berry Snow Cream and the Lychee Milk Tea Smootea. The real surprise is in the off-menu cookies and cream slush with boba. Of all the places we've been to between socal and LV, this is the only place to get cookies-n-cream boba done the right way. The flavors here are amazing, and the service is friendly. Family friendly as well. read more

The service here is always amazing. Everyone is always so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about their different drinks. The first time we came here, I was uncertain on what to get my daughter because she doesn't drink tea, but I really wanted to try their mango tea and didn'twant to exclude her from the experience. The staff was very patient while I scanned their menu, and they were nice enough to direct me to their caffeine free drinks and also let me know they offer smoothies, as well. We settled on the strawberry smoothie which easily became her official "go-to". I loved my mango tea. Perfect amount of sweetness with added boba to give it that extra settleness. That is my "go-to" every time we go. The place itself, is also nice. A fair amount of seating and tables. Bathrooms that are kept clean. read more

My family and I came in during their soft opening and first thing I noticed was how friendly the staff were. The person who I assumed to be the owner/manager was very friendly and sincere with his recommendations. Music choice was top notch for me since they played quality anime music and jazzy Wii music Drinks came out in a timely manner. I got the Jasmine milk tea as per usual with 50% sweetness. Honestly. I don't have any complaints with the drink. The Jasmine tea flavor comes out nicely with the lowered sugar level. The boba was a good level of chewy, not too hard nor too soft. They had a subtle sweetness that balanced well with the bitter tea. I can't speak much for the other drinks my family got though the Strawberry berry tea was very refreshing. I will say that my parents, who are usually pretty picky, liked their drinks so that means something haha. Overall, would recommend this place for people to try out. I'm happy a new boba place popped up on this intersection since it's so close to where I live. They are having their grand opening tomorrow only (11/26) which is buy one get one free. Will definitely come back! read more

I came here the first time and got strawberry matcha. It was amazing so I came back today but they were out of matcha. I tried to order brown sugar milk tea with oatmilk. The boba was 60% of the drink. I'm not a fan of boba and it was way too much. I gave to my boyfriend and he couldn't drink it either. Way way too much boba and no milk flavor. Wasted $7.5 and got another strawberry berry tea $6. Price is expensive compared to other boba milk tea places! I wasted $14 for just a drink!!! The brown sugar got into trash after it! Customer service wasn't friendly. I feel like they don't like their job! They didn't speak a word unless you say first to order your drinks read more

New boba place in town?! Heck yes! We came around noon time, it wasn't busy at all. When you arrive you can use their QR code right when you walk in. We got 4 drinks-Jasmine milk tea (w/ grass jelly), Taro (w/ boba), mango green tea, and Okinawa. All tasted great! Boba and the grass jelly was nice and chewy. You have the option to adjust your sugar and ice-we got 80% for both. Staff was were nice and friendly. Don't forget to sign up for boba points by signing up with your phone number which you cash out! read more

Pretty solid spot, I have yet to find any boba place out in az that doesn't have overly sweet or over the top flavors, (I get that some people like it, it's just not my vibe) but I think rare tea is pretty good. The tapioca pearls were chewy but not mushy, and I got a mango milk tea, 50% sugar and in my opinion, it was the perfect sweetness. read more

First time in Arizona and we were enroute to Sedona. So, we thought it was best to grab something cold to drink with us. After all, it's 104 degrees outside.  We decided on RareTea. I got the Passion Fruit Green Tea w/ lychee jelly @50% sweetness.. it's the BOMB! THE divide is A+ as well.  The ambiance is so comfy and chic. It is a great place for selfies and makes a great hangout place. Refreshing knowing the heat is killing us. WE got about 10 different kinds and not one disappointed us.  If you want real good Boba drinks.. Rare Tea in Chandler is the place to go! you'll thank me! read more

Love that this place is very close to where we live and around all our favorite shopping spots. I was kind of worried my husband would be here everyday since he loves boba. However, prices are ridiculous. After adding boba it's a $7-$8 drink. On top of that customer service is not very pleasant. No one smiles or says thank you. The drinks are a hit and miss. We occasionally go when there is a promo but otherwise it's not worth it. read more

Overall a cute little boba shop that doesn't really have much that separates them from its competitors. The drinks are a bit on the more pricey side, however, the ability to customize the milk teas is a plus. read more

Updating my review. After my last experience, I was hesitant to give them another shot. However, based on their response we decided to give them another go to see if things have gotten better. Happy to report that it did. This time the service was much better and the drinks were good. Perfect level of sweetness. No need to adjust. read more

A must try place! Something that I loved about this place was the boba, it's quite rare where I find myself thoroughly enjoying the boba but I couldn't help but keep saying how chewy and delicious it was, it was the right texture for me! We came on opening day so it was crowded but the staff were extremely polite and even apologized for the long wait and thanked us for waiting! Since it was BOGO we got 4 drinks total: Strawberry berry snow cream, Brown sugar milk tea, taro smoothie (subbed pudding for boba), and kiwi fruit tea with aiyu jelly! The snow cream tasted like the cream cheese cream, milky and creamy, I really liked it when we mixed the strawberry and cream together! The kiwi fruit tea was refreshing and had a bit of a sour taste as you would expect from a lemonade. The other drinks are exactly what you would expect but I have no complaints over it because they were all delicious! I'm so glad a new spot opened up near where I live as it's hard to get boba without having to go far. read more

Please retrain your workers! I'm a Boba connoisseur and can taste even the slightest of changes in recipes. I bought a Black MilkTea like I usually do (50% creamer and 80% granulated sugar), but this time the Boba was SEVERELY UNDERCOOKED! I have other Boba shops more closer to me, so I drive the extra 10mins to get, what used to be, a great tasting Boba MilkTea. Not sure if I'll be going back. read more
