Really good! I tried the classic black milk tea, ube flavoring, and boba. I was impressed with the tea base itself - the real tea taste really came through. Ube flavor was sweet and delicious, and gave the drink a pretty purple color. Boba was just the right amount of flavor and chew! Overall, menu is straightforward with a few options for the tea base, lots of flavor additions, and some classic mix ins. Their specialty drinks are intriguing as well. Menu is not too large or overwhelming. I am impressed and will be back to try other drinks!

Cold brew with dalgona topping and brown sugar milk with dalgona topping

Sip Boba Tea House rivals and reminds me places back in California - which truly is high praise if you know me! The owners make all their syrups and toppings in house & the boba is always the right consistency of QQ. While I love their pumpkin sauce (it's seriously like drinking pumpkin pie), strawberry sauce and dalgona - you know a place is legit by how good their 'normal' milk tea is. Sip's Jasmine milk tea is legit. It's not watery at all and has really strong tea flavor that comes through. Also, for parties, Sip sells boba totes!! It's epic and super convenient! All you need to add is ice.

A new boba shop in Ann Arbor, with the owner making and mixing his own syrups for all his concoction? Yes please. We walked in on a rainy Sunday and was immediately greeted by the exceptionally friendly owner. As usual, we went in to try the black milk tea and branched off from there. Classic Black Milk Tea, 16oz, Less Sweet, Almond Milk w/ Boba ($6) - The owner told me that Sip uses a house made brown sugar mix to sweeten their milk teas rather than the typical fructose machine that most boba shops use. He didn't recommend reducing the sweetness, but I figured that it was easier to add more sweetener if I found it to not be sweet enough. Well, at the end of the day, it turns out that whatever ratio he used was just fine, creating a drink that is sweet without overwhelming the almond milk and black tea flavors. The drink overall is well balanced, with a bit of the tea fragrance and astringency coming through. I regret to say that the boba is on the hard side, with very little chew. Drink Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 2/5 Ube Milk, 16oz, Oat Milk ($6.25) - I went back to order a second drink after savoring the flavors of the first. The Ube Milk has a fantastically rich ube flavor which is fragrant, earthy, and delicious. The owner mentioned that he takes ube concentrate and infuses it with his house-made simple syrup. The ratio is perfect, so that the sweetness is an undercurrent to the drink and the ube flavor is front and center. (4/5) It is interesting to note that the cups have the sippy lid design, which are not normally used to accommodate the boba straw and is a departure from other boba places. While I wouldn't return to get boba as topping, I would try their other drinks. The offerings here are high quality and thoughtfully composed. Bathrooms - Single unisex room in the back. Overall rating of the drinks this visit: 3.5/5

Classic black milk tea

Sip has very quickly become a frequent go to! The shop has a cute minimal, but welcoming vibe and it's pretty spacious. The owner is super friendly and customer service is always great! The quality and flavor of their tea is impressive! I've gotten the plain iced jasmine tea and it was delicious. They make their own syrups and they always feel well balanced with the tea and milk. I do usually ask for half or less sweetness and that is perfect. Everything seems super customizable so you can't go wrong! The boba's texture was also perfect! I tend to like more classic milk tea drinks so I haven't ventured into their more creative menu items yet. I did try the supermoon milk my partner got and it was really good! Definitely a welcome addition to the growing boba-landscape in Ann Arbor!

They have a lot of different drinks here -- I like that you can customize or choose from their premium drinks. The inside is pretty big and was great for chatting with friends. Our drinks were brought out pretty fast too. Super nice place!

The coffee is great; they don't overfill the cup with ice, and the service is instant and kind. The ambiance is very chill and cozy.

Cute winter cups! Loved the boba rolling another boba down the snowy hill hahah…read more Came right at opening at 12pm. The employee was friendly! Love my order of milk tea with boba.

It was a snowy afternoon so the customer volume was likely lower than usual at the shops of The Courtyard in Ann Arbor. The suite had a bright orange awning and about ten tables of various sizes for seating. Several power outlets were available along one wall for students to plug in their electronics and hang out because this business was across from a large college campus. Two self-service kiosks were at the counter where you could place an order. A menu board was hanging on the wall to the left for quick reference. Just drinks were served here as no food was offered. The categories were milk tea, fruit tea, slush, chocolate, yakult, macchiato, fresh milk, and tea. Six recommended choices with photos were listed at the top of the board. I selected the second one which was the Tropical Special. This drink was from the fruit tea category which was likely where I would have made a selection anyway. Passionfruit green tea with pearls and coconut jelly were the ingredients. I requested light ice and normal sweetness. The tea flavor wasn't strong, and the pearls were chewy and clumped together on the bottom of the cup. The jelly was extra filler that added more texture. The price was at least two dollars less than what I would have paid for a similar product at one of my local haunts. I gave a 3.5 star rating for my experience at CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice.

I visited Sweeting for the first time a couple of months into the Pandemic and I found the drink at…read morethat point to be well below average/borderline bad - I have it in my notes that the drink was watered down and the boba was all stuck together in a big blob. I decided to stop by again to give it a second chance since I was in the mall. Original Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sweet w/ Boba ($6.70) - Sweeting normally uses whole milk in their milk tea drinks, so it leaves a distinct dairy flavor vs. a more traditional creamer or milk powder construction. The black tea taste does come through, with a slight bitter astringency. The boba had a sticky and chewy exterior with a nice qq interior very reminiscent of a honey soaked boba. While it was on the slightly hard side throughout, the boba was greatly improved by whatever sugar syrup they use as a soak (I'm not certain it's honey but it certainly feels like it). Overall the drink was pretty good for a place that mostly prebrews their tea and is much improved over my previous trip. Sweeting has definitely made a good recovery from the Pandemic blues, and I would be glad to come back in the future.

We ordered through the kiosk and had no interaction with staff. Once the tea is ready they set it…read moreon the counter and turn right back around. The space is small and visually busy with lots of decor but they do offer a seating area. This boba place is located right as you enter through the restaurant side. Prices were about $1 more than the boba tea place right in the middle of the mall from them. The drink overall looked and it tasted okay more on the bitter end.

They have three ordering kiosks right near the door, so the entrance got a bit congested with people waiting to order. One of the kiosks looked like it wasn't working also. They have a TON of options here, so the menu was a bit overwhelming for a newbie. I ended up ordering the super fruit green tea with passionfruit popping boba. The customizations include ice level, sweetness level, and toppings. Toppings range from $0.65-$0.85 each so it can add up! Once we sent our order it took about 10 minutes for it to come out. The atmosphere of the space is just okay, it's not really very cute except for the one piece of wall decor. I wouldn't come here to hang out and I'd probably order online ahead of time next time. My drink was really tasty - I liked the slight citrus flavor and real fruit in the drink. The passionfruit seeds added an interesting crunch!

Wow this place was packed!! Locals must really like it…read more There was a long line for the ordering kiosks (there are 2 of them). And only 1 employee making all the drinks (she did a good job)! There is a good amount of seating inside with colorful decoration of pac man. I ordered the Mango Milk Tea with black tea and boba. It was reasonably priced at $5 something. The boba was chewy and milk tea with mango syrup was good! It was very refreshing on this 94 degree weather day! I would come back! Oh also, when I asked what kind of milk they use (for my fellow lactose sensitive peeps), she said Creamer. Not sure if it's non-dairy creamer but it sat well in my stomach thankfully!

Refreshing cold drink for a hot day! It was my first time at Tea Ninja (we really got a lot of boba…read moreoptions in Ann Arbor over the past several years!) so I ordered a go to - Taro milk tea. It's easy to order on a kiosk, and they do all the customizations (ice, sugar level, toppings). I got a medium iced Taro milk tea, 30% sweet, regular ice, add lychee jelly. It was good! Hit the spot. The level of sweetness and ice was just right. Lychee jelly was the perfect amount of chewy. The flavor of the tea was good, and actually tasted like tea. I didn't ask, but given the tea taste, I'm thinking this taro has caffeine (at other places, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't). I didn't get much of the taro flavor coming through though.
