This place was alright. I feel like maybe they were having an off day. The tea had an odd texture to it like it wasn't mixed all the way and the boba wasn't quite cooked all the way either. I'll definitely have to come back and give them another try. read more

I m so excited to try this place out. I've seen them online and friends been talking about it from California. I've tried two drinks so far and my favorite is their Matcha Latte with the Brown Sugar Boba. In love with Brown Sugar Boba, first time trying it! This is definitely one of the more authentic boba tea shop in town as everything is made to order and with fresh ingredients. For sure I'll be here a lot! read more

I don't recommend the mango passion fruit green tea because it has that bitter green tea taste and it's a pretty strong taste. The only thing I would recommend in that drink is to get the lychee jelly, the best part!! Haha the strawberry milk tea was really great though. My friends got other drinks and they loved it as well. It's small inside with very limited seating but it has a bathroom inside which is a plus. The only reason I gave it 3 stars was because I probably got the wrong drink but the strawberry milk tea was good read more

Decided to try RareTea before leaving Orlando. I ordered the hokkaido milk tea and the grapefruit tea. I got less sugar for both (I believe 80%) and it wasn't enough sweetness but there wasn't really a strong tea flavor either. The Hokkaido milk tea was a bit bitter, but is that because I asked for less sugar? Not sure I will be returning. read more

Glad I got to try this place the last time I was in Orlando. Fantastic new addition to the boba scene! It is definitely slightly pricier than some other places, think more like Möge Tea than say a KungFu Tea in terms of price. But they are aiming for that more premium tea experience and I think they nailed it. They have a wide variety of fruit teas, milk teas, and other specialty teas and drinks. When I went, I decided to try the Mango Passion Fruit Green Tea. I thought the drink was a great balance between the sweetness of the mango, the slight sour and tart flavor of passion fruit, and the slightly earthy bitter tones of green tea. It all really came together really well! I loved how I can still taste the tea flavor even with so many other flavors happening. Some places, all you taste is sugar and flavoring. But here, the tea itself also gets a chance to shine. I also loved the addition of fresh mango chunks to the bottom of the drink. It further enhances the flavor. Overall, loved the atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the drinks! Just be sure to get here early or at an off time, the space is small and seating is limited so it can get pretty crowded relatively quickly. Will definitely be back in the future! :) read more

Whenever there is a new boba place in town I. AM. THERE. I was very excited when this shop opened up because my friend sent me a video they posted on Instagram and everything looked so epic. They really hyped up their grand opening and I was ready to go! When I finally got a chance to try them out I ended up going too early (oops) and ended up grabbing a light lunch before heading in. First of all, the staff is really nice and very welcoming. You can tell how proud the owner is of their business. I asked a good amount of questions before I ended up choosing their Rose boba tea. I was nervous if it would be overly floral but that didn't end up being the problem with the drink. The flavor was fine but I couldn't really enjoy it because the rose petals they put in the tea were overwhelming and throwing me off. I didn't want to eat them. I just wanted to spit them out. So... if texture is a big thing for you perhaps try something else? Luckily they did allow me to try a second drink and I liked that one much better. It was their Okinawa tea and the flavors were very smooth but honestly a tad bit too sweet so I would ask for lower sweetness next time. All in all I want to come back and maybe try something different again. I tend to always lean towards the classic black milk teas so I would love to venture towards something more unique without the texture issues. Thanks for being kind enough to let me return the drink for something I enjoyed. I appreciate your kindness. read more

I ask to order my same smoothie and wellness shot to pick up after my yoga class. I usually stay after yoga to shower and chat w the instructors and other yogis. One day I was late picking up but I eventually got there. It seemed fine. I remember the interaction bc the original owner was there who is never there and I was so happy to see him. He was telling me about the new location he opened DT. Then the next time I asked for my usual before class the arrogant guy was there. I said sorry I threw my stuff down and just throwing in my order and I'll pay when I pick up. He says. Yea well you forgot to pick up last time and didn't pay. I was like "what?" That can't be true. I always have my routine. And I pick up right after and I notice if I pay bc it's cost $17-19 not including the tip I give EVERY SINGLE TIME. I explained I always pick up. And I definitely always pay. I think of small businesses as something I want to help keep open. Not add to the burden. His arrogance was over the top. I was so offended. I realized he was talking about the day I came late. My drink sat probably 20m longer than usual bc I got caught up talking to an instructor. And I noticed how late I was to pick it up bc the juice was colder and the protein settled to the bottom. It didn't taste as good. But also I saw the NICE brother/family member who took over and started this location. He worked every day w out any time off. And he was the NICEST guy unlike his brother/family member who is arrogant AF. I was so happy to see him and we chatted and I apologized for being late. His arrogant brother was talking about that day and how he took my order and thought I never came back bc he left and never saw me pick up. If you're going to accuse someone of something. AT LEAST BE RIGHT. Instead you're such a bad business owner that you're willing to not only push out a customer over nothing but also someone who consistently purchased from you. What a terrible business decision. Of course I am not only sharing my experience on here but w everyone I know in the studio to say: Please do not give your business to a man like this. He is cold and dead inside. And SMILED when he accused me of something he was WRONG about bc he his emotional intelligence isn't at a level to understand he might not know the entire story.

All the coffees I've tried here are wonderful, and they have much more beyond that. They have dozens of delicious baked goods, both American & Colombian, along with actual food.

I stopped by RareTea in Thornton Park for the first time and decided to try the Passionfruit Mango with Popping Boba and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The flavor was bold and strong at first, but after letting the ice melt a bit, it hit the perfect balance of sweet and refreshing. The mix of passionfruit and mango gave it such a tropical, fruity vibe, and the popping boba added a fun burst of flavor with every sip. The staff was super friendly and patient while I debated what to order (so many great choices!). They even gave me a few recommendations, which I appreciated. The shop itself is clean, modern, and a great spot to relax or grab a drink while walking around Thornton Park. read more

This place is super cute, and the staff was incredibly sweet! Unfortunately, the drink wasn't quite up to par. The boba was a bit too hard, and the taro had a lingering flavor, possibly from another tea left in the blender. read more

I got the Brown Sugar Bubble Coffee which is made up of coffee, milk tea and brown sugar syrup with boba bubbles in the bottom that taste like chocolate brown sugar themselves.

The woman at the counter was extremely friendly and helpful, and was thorough explaining things to me when I asked the difference between things or which she recommended more.
