Sharetea is definitely one of the better bubble tea places in the DMV. There's only one cup size so you don't have to worry about paying more to size up. The amount of boba/bubbles you get are plentiful and I think some places don't give you much either. For me I just wanted to try one of the special items. I got the Strawberry Matcha with Sakura Crystal Boba and it wasn't too sweet nor it was not enjoyable. The crystal boba is interesting as it doesn't have the tapioca taste but more akin to jelly. Matcha is one of my favorite flavors so when paired with strawberry syrup and milk, you really can't go wrong with it. Since it's close to my work, I guess I can always do a second visit! read more

Sharetea is so inconsistant. One location will do something that another won't such as blending a drink. How dumb! They have to follow the recipe, you can't take anything out of a drink. Not worth going to. I will take my money to a place that will take something out of if I don't want it and will blend a drink if I request it. Terrible service read more

About a 1-1.5: Whenever we were in the area or passing through this part of Fairfax, we were sure to make a stop - Unfortunately, the last few visits left us super disappointed in terms of what we received as drinks - the toppings are usually out, such as the mini pearls, and they're never replaced. The drinks themselves are either super watered down or taste nothing like what you usually get. Staff are pretty efficient, and the in-person orders and the mobile orders are always in competition; there is usually a wait for yours, and the wait can be a while. Plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot. +inconsistency in drinks +long wait times +ample parking read more

As much as I want to give 5 stars, I've been here enough to say there are a few draw backs too this location. Overall, I love Sharetea for two main reasons, I LOVE the mini pearls, I have yet to find that anywhere else AND they're the only place that does ice blended milk tea! BUT I have noticed recently that their ice blended drinks haven't been up to par. Meaning half of my drink isn't blended enough and there are huge ice chunks at the bottom (not a huge deal but it's happened many times at this point to where I find that an constant drawback and deterrent) In the summer and warmer months, you can always find their location packed with a line of customers. Which is amazing for their business but expect to wait around for your drink as the workers are usually running around trying their best with what always seems like limited staff. They offer limited seating availability inside, so if you're looking to sit somewhere, make sure to come when it's not a busy time because the rest of their customer space has been taken over with storage in the front. I remember they had full seating in front before the pandemic and it was so lovely, but they have yet to open it fully back up again (this isn't a bad thing, just keep it in mind!) Milk Tea Ice Blended with mini pearls is my go to Sharetea drink, otherwise I prefer to go to another boba place that has consistency in their drink making process and less wait time. Overall: 4/5 read more

Sharetea - Milk Tea Ice Blended with mini pearls - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

It's been 2-3 years since I last went to Sharetea, and boy did I miss it. Their taro milk tea is a classic and one I usually got when going, and they are generous with the amount of bubbles they give, which is a plus. My sister also got their ginger milk tea, which surprised me by how good it was. Their range of drinks available is wide, so there's no shortage if you like trying new drinks (and the price is relatively cheap for boba standards). read more

Sharetea - Taro milk tea with regular bubbles - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I absolutely LOVE Sharetea! I always get the QQHappy Family, which is a milk tea with all of the toppings: boba, pearls, lychee jelly, egg pudding and jelly pudding, and red bean! It taste like a Vietnamese Che, plus you get every topping without the additional cost! Win win! The service can sometimes be slow because there's only two people working, but they now have a self checkout station. The ambience is good, not as loud as other boba spots, and there's some decent seating. Their prices are a bit cheaper than other boba spots, for a decent sized drink! read more

Easy parking . Kids love the mini pearls but have been disappointed the last few times when it wasn't available . Haven't seen many places with mini pearls around so I'll try again . Only tried the milk tea twice but both times it tasted a bit different so I'll have to check back to see on the consistency of the drinks . read more

Not sure if this place is under new management but the quality of the drinks has been lacking. I usually order the QQ Happy Family and the drink barely has anything in it. It should have red bean, big pearl, herb jelly, lychee, pudding and mini pearls but all it had was a little bit of red beans and big pearl. This has been the case the past several times Ive been here and they didnt seem busy at all to have run out of the toppings. Unfortunately this was my go to place for bubble tea but I will not be coming back anymore. read more

One of my favorite boba place in VA! If you need some breaks from TeaDM or Kungfu Tea, this is the one! I love their creme collections particularly. If you haven't tried their Chocolate Creme, you haven't even tasted heaven yet Overall service is great! If you have any questions on what goes into a drink, you can ask cashiers, and they will kindly explain. Speed of making drinks was also pretty good It is a small place. There is only one big table inside, so this is a good place if you want a drink to go! read more

I love Sharetea and wish we had one closer to the Reston area. Of all the bubble tea places around nova, Sharetea is probably in my top 3 list. Their bubbles taste great and are perfectly cooked/sweet. The drinks are also delicious no matter what you get. They have mini pearls unlike other places, and even ice cream as a topping. The service has also always been great and friendly. I love looking through the doodles on their wall and even added one of my own. :) read more

Mediocre. Not my favorite but it's in the high traffic area of Fairfax. I like the area how everything is accessible with multiple stores nearby. The location is easy if you're on the way to somewhere so quickly grab and go spot. I will leave it up to Yelper to decide whether this place is good because it might has to do with personal preference. read more

I had high expectations since I love the Sharetea in DC! Our drinks came out tasting watered-down and is overall mediocre compared to other boba places. The boba itself is very soft and not as good. I will say that the prices are average though, especially compared to other places that are a couple dollars more expensive. It also was not very busy and the drinks came out fast. It's nice for a casual spot but I would go to one of the many other boba places in the area next time. read more

Whenever I am craving milk tea, I come here! Other than their milk tea selections, I also found their signature mojito and ice blended with ice cream quite refreshing! We got the Honey Milk Tea. I did wanted to try mini boba pearls since the drink does not come with toppings, but they ran out of them towards late afternoon. Although we did not add any other toppings they offered, the drink was still good and the sweetness level was perfect. Their service was quick and their staff were helpful. This place will always remind me of the Sharetea I past by in Taiwan! read more

Sharetea - Honey Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I'm not usually a huge bubble tea fan but I'm loving the drinks at Sharetea. The Family QQ is our favorite and you can replace any of the 5 ingredients with other toppings if you wish. Loved the small pearls more than the large boba. Husky and taro were good too. Just like other bubble tea places, you can adjust the amount of ice and sugar level. We decided to have 0% sugar for some of the drinks as they are already pretty sweet with red bean and other toppings. 30% is good enough unless you really like it super sweet. Prices are more reasonable for a large drink compared to NYC. We've already come twice in the past two days and may get another one again soon! Yum!! read more

Sharetea - Strawberry ice blend with ice cream and Cocoa Creama - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Great place, been going here for at least 6 years and it stayed consistent. Wish the service was better even thought it's fine. The service is not bad or anything, just could be better. Before the pandemic the inside had a lot more tables for people to sit and enjoy their tea. Now there is really only one big table and no one stays to drink their tea. The ambience is pretty bad as like I said no one stays there to drink tea. It's a shop that you take your tea to go. Before the pandemic the place used to be packed and people were sitting down, talking, socializing and enjoying their time. Wish it was like that again. Regardless, the tea is delicious and consistent with plenty of flavors. Highly recommend! read more

Over the years Sharetea has become our favorite bubble tea shop. It's not the closest and depending on timing can be extremely busy. There's alot of great food in the shopping center so it's great to pair it with a meal. Some our favorites are hawaii fruit tea, peach tea, hokkaido milk tea and matcha green tea with cream. Recently I noticed they run out of large pearls and have mini pearls which I actually prefer. I actually usually like lychee jelly over the boba. I often choose lower sugar levels for myself and kids, hubby likes regular sugar. read more

I thought this place was ok, wanted to order the Okinawa tea but the sugar level couldn't be adjusted because the powder they use is premade with the sugar. I opted for the winter melon milk tea instead. I can barely taste the tea, all I tasted was the fresh milk, Iike straight up cereal milk. The chick that put the drink down on the table and called the order number didn't even bother wiping the cup down. It was wet and sticky, that bothered me. read more

Sharetea - Mango Green Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Sharetea is a mid boba shop. I ordered a handmade taro milk tea with fresh milk and pearls for around $7. The drink was not that good because I ordered something different and unusual. The taro was chunky and unpleasant to drink. The boba was small and unsatisfying as they felt like some sort of candy. The milk tea, however, was delicious. Overall, a place that I wouldn't go to again considering the quality of other places around the area. read more

One of my favorite bubble tea spots! This is my go-to place for bubble tea. I love that all their drinks are one size. My favorite is a the classic coffee with bubbles . It's so creamy and the big pearls have always been the perfect combination of chewy and sweet - and not too tough or soft. This place can pretty busy, but a lot of times I can order right away and get my drink within a few short minutes. read more

Went to sharetea on a whim after dinner and was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the original Pearl tea is with green tea.

Overall, if the service was quicker I would definitely come back since the Bubble tea is very good. read more

Sharetea - Pearl tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I got the handmade taro with fresh milk and special strawberry fresh milk with pearl. The handmade taro is blended with ice but has too much ice in it and supposedly they dont let you do less ice or no ice in it. The strawberry fresh milk with pearl does not have blended ice, but basically 60% of the cup was just ice cubes. I believe I also asked for no ice which they ignored. It already comes in a small 8oz to 12oz cup to begin with, and it's just unreasonable to put so much ice in it. Milk and syrup are fairly cheap ingredients to begin with so they could still afford to do no ice on a drink like this. read more

I've been coming to Sharetea for a while, since my Mason days. I've always really enjoyed my beverages here. Especially the mini boba which I love and aren't as large and gummy as traditional boba. I learned to love different toppings, hot bubble tea, and today the coffee crema. I highly recommend this location, it fluctuates from chill vibes with loud music on the tv, to super busy with no room to stand in. I recommend the Happy Family tea if you want to experiment with toppings! read more

Sharetea - Music always playing - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I loved this place! The menu is pretty similar to some of the other boba tea spots but very unique because I noticed some of their drinks use ice cream or pudding. They also only have one size for their drinks. I went with the Hawaii fruit tea with light ice, normal sweetness and added lychee jelly. My nephew got the mango iced blended with jelly, with 50% sweet. It took awhile for our order to be ready as we came in during a rush and the line was nearly out the door. But everyone was happy with their order and said it was different than some of the other spots we've been too. My drink was super sweet so I think if I came back I would have it adjusted to 50% sweet. read more

Love this place. The variety of teas and combinations of flavors are endless and I love that you can customize sugar amounts or dairy/non dairy. So fun. The service is friendly and fast too at this particular location. I was pretty sure I knew what I wanted before arriving but then when I got there I found myself wondering if I wanted something different and they were happy to assist me in what they thought I'd enjoy. I had the mojito tea which was lime and mint for me (I didn't get sugar) and it was tart and refreshing. I love that they seal each of their cups and the crushed ice was amazing. What a cute and fun experience for a refreshing drink! read more

Sharetea - Mojito tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

November 2021 - COVID Review: I used to work nearby but didn't really ever stop by to try it before since I've heard such mixed reviews. I stopped in with my friend recently and I was glad that the drink I chose was actually really good! I understand that with COVID, they have the plastic barrier up at the register and it can also be hard to hear when speaking with masks on and with all the background noise of drinks being made. I ordered the mango green tea (fruit tea) with creama on top, but when I saw my receipt, I was actually charged more for a mango green MILK tea with creama instead. I was able to let the cashier know just in time before my drink was made but she didn't apologize for the mix up nor did she say anything about how I was overcharged for an incorrect drink. I'd still give them another chance since the drink I chose was good, and hopefully there won't be a mix up with my order next time! read more

8/14/21 Today I thought I would try out Sharetea, but I wasn't 100% sure about this place. The staff were friendly enough and the place looked well kept. The items and prices are by the registers and television screen by the back wall. I failed to read the type of bubble 6topping they had. Shame on me. There wasn't any Passionfruit bubbles which would have set the tone for me. There wasn't any slushies on the menu and this was another let down. Nevertheless, thought I would try something new for that...you get the point...especially if you know the song. I went with a fuity type of drink called the Winter Melon Tea. The size I asked for is a small, because I had a feeling I might not like it. My feels were confirmed when acquiring my drink which turned out to be a regular size. From the first sip, I found bbn it much to sweet. The drink had 100% sweetness to it and I just couldn't swallow the liquid. I was refunded the drink I ordered and that was that. The manager on duty didn't really want to do a refund, and I felt a little guilty because the drink wasn't for me, but I have been on both sides of the fence in my current situation and sometimes a refund must be done. Still, while I was waiting for my order, I saw the South Korean boy called Big Bang sing the song Tonight. They looked more femminet than when I saw them last time. I just found out one of them retired and os now in prison for prostitution. The other members appear to be still making music. From the photos I saw, they got rid of the femminet I had seen in 2011 or the song tonight. I am digressing yet again. Sharedtea attracts a lot of people including someone I know on here. I did notice the left tv screen is flashing from light to dark. Whether this is intentional or non intentional, it make the screen hard to read. Although this tea place is good for many, it wasn't for me. Still I appreciate the way the team handled my disliking the drink and how quickly the problem was solved. Four stars overall. read more

Not bad, not bad. The mango milk tea I got was pretty good. They added a good amount of boba and lychee jelly. I'm hoping to try this place again in the near future. I don't usually go for fruity milk teas, so this was kinda hard to compare to other places where I'd usually get a green or black milk tea based drink. Other than that, I'd say this one is pretty tasty..In a good way. The line situation was a little chaotic. There were a lot of people waiting around which crowded the space inside. People were also standing outside around the door as well. Not the best enforced rules for social distancing, but maybe I just came at the busiest time of the day. The staff is wearing masks and I can't remember if hand sanitizer was provided. I guess it was too crowded to see. Whoops. read more

Read a lot of good stuff about Sharetea and decided to check it out. The cashier was sweet and helpful. Our order was ready in no time. I love the variety of drinks they offer here. They have only one size cup for their drinks. You can choose your ice level (regular, less, or no ice) and sweetness level (100%, 80%, 50%, 30%, or 0%). I love that you can customize the amount of ice and sugar in your drink. Seating is available and the ambiance is laid back. Restrooms are in the back and clean. It smells so good in here, like freshly brewed tea. The drinks we tried were all delicious and well made. I really enjoyed the Happy Family Milk Tea. It had all sorts of goodies inside: regular pearls, mini pearls, red beans, herb jelly, pudding, and lychee jelly. The Mango & Passion Fruit Green Tea and Hawaii Fruit Tea are some of our favorites too! Glad we tried Sharetea out and we will definitely be back. read more

Sharetea - Owners are GREEDY and EVIL - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

It is tea time for sure at Sharetea. I think this will be my new go-to spot for bubble tea compared to the other options in the area. The fruit tea actually tastes like fruit. I got the Kiwi Fruit Tea with Auya Jelly and this is definitely on the top of my list. I went with 30% sweetness and regular ice. The chunks of kiwi at the bottom gave me all kinds of life. Sip after sip in a big straw of course. We also got he Strawberry Ice Blend with Lycee and Ice Cream. The scoop of ice cream on the top was decent too, not shabby or skimpy at all. The Mango Fruit Tea was great too, tastes like biting into a fresh mango without all the work to peel it to get to the good part! Staff was friendly and welcoming as soon as you hit the door. If you are unsure, they are more than willing to offer suggestions and what works well together. When you get to the register, look down as they have some suggestions such as the Top 10 flavors as well as a mini menu to look at. Don't forget to take in the wall of post-it's where you can find a little bit of everything from drawings, quotes, saying, shout outs, you name it, its probably up there. There is a small seating area as well. It was kinda packed when I was in there but the line moved quickly and the wait time was minimal from start to finish. Definitely excited to go back to see what kinda tea I shall share next....... Sharing is caring so Sharetea with me! read more

Love the decor, and by decor, I mean the giant logo with hundreds upon hundreds of post it notes that surround it. What a cute idea for a wall in a bubble tea shop. Love it. The tea was good. Although having tried the Okinawa tea and the Chai Tea Latte - I'd definitely settle on the Okinawa tea next time. The chai seemed a little... unbalanced. It was still good, but i think it needed more milk ( at least for my taste). I hate docking stars for stuff like this: but I feel like our teas took an unreasonably long time to come out. I mean... like 15-20 minutes. And the store wasn't that busy. We came into the store and immediately were at the register. There was no line ahead of us. Not sure exactly what they were doing, but I kept saying to myself "It HAS to be ready by now" and it wasn't. Would definitely come here again though. Very chill vibe, ample seating, and solid quality product. read more

"I got tea babe" by Cher, the singer which Cher-tea is named after. They say we're young and we drink tea We buy 10 then get the 11th free I guess that's so but it costs a lot But at least I'm sure of all the teas we got Babe... I got tea babe... I got tea babe... I got Whole Lemon and Okinawa... in the Spring I got summer specials... in that lightbulb thing And when I'm cold... you order it hot... After I drink mine... then I finish what you got... I got you to sip my tea I GOT YOU TO SHARE WITH ME! I got you to walk with me I GOT YOU TO DRIVE ME TO SHARETEA! I got you to kiss goodnight WHEN YOU DO, I'LL TASTE JUST RIGHT And why is it you taste so sweet? BECAUSE I JUST DRANK ALL THE SHARETEA! I got tea babe! I got tea babe! I don't mind sharing tea. What I don't like sharing are STDs, but that's another story for another day. Or another night, maybe. But definitely not for another morning after. That's just not cool. What to get: Okinawa Milk Tea, Whole Lemon Black Tea What not to get: STDs Welcome to the only sharetea location on East Coast USA. That's pretty special. But more than that they have really nice service in here and they make a wonderful drinks to perfection. I wouldn't say I like them as much as my beloved Houston location they are certainly not far off. I don't like chains, but this is my exception. You must try "Okinawa Pearl Milk Tea" (made with brown sugar), if you haven't already. The greatest milk tea of all, perhaps. It literally changed my life. There's something about that roasted brown sugar flavour. They just know how to do it here. Most people I've brought here have agreed, it's one of the best milk teas they've had. If you like fruit teas also try their Whole Lemon Black Tea. It's very sweet, so adjust the sugar if you want. Of course, you probably have to like lemon, but if you do, this could be one of the most delicious lemon drinks you've had. At this very special location in Fairfax, the decor is really nice too, with Post-it notes all over the walls. If you're in DC it's a little out of the way to get out here to Fairfax - especially with all the traffic - but believe me it's worth it for the Okinawa and the whole lemon. I almost missed a Tears For Fears concert just to come here for drinks beforehand. This location is owned by an Indian guy (I think), and what a great investment he made in this company. I hope they do very well. They keep the standards very high and it's a lovely place to hang out with really nice employees. I don't usually like Chains, but then neither did Fleetwood Mac, and look what happened to them. Well I suppose those are just Rumours. And I don't care to Cher them right now. read more
