Their menu is pretty extensive and has many options. The drink that caught my eye was the lychee lemon tea with lychee jelly. I loved that it had slices of fresh lemon in the drink and it was not super sweet. It was very refreshing. I will be coming back to try their other drinks.

Already open at 11:45 on a Sunday (hours posted is 12 PM open). Small spot with 1 table and a…read morecouple seats by the window. The cashier was nice and quick. Right now it's buy one get one half off. Not sure how long this will stick around, but all their printed menus let you know the deal. The Matcha Milk Tea (Medium) is more milky than matcha, but that seems typical of most bubble tea spots. Not overly sweet, which I like. The Lychee Lemon Tea w/ Crystal Pearl (lychee Jelly) has good lychee flavor. I wasn't sure what crystal pearl was when I saw it on the menu, but the printed sticker and what I got is lychee jelly. It is a bit on the sweet side for me, but that's just my preference. I didn't ask to see if they could adjust the sugar, but I'll check next time! Nice to see a new bubble tea spot in the area. There aren't options here for that. There was one that closed down a few years ago, but that was it. Hope this one stays around!

Overall, I would recommend this tea shop!

I ordered the taro fresh milk tea, but it was really disappointing. It didn't taste like taro at all. Instead, it had this odd, powdery flavor, almost like leftover mix.

In case you're wondering what happened to Molly Tea:…read more Here's the Real Tea (per Google): The "Molly Tea scandal" is an international franchise dispute involving the Shenzhen-based parent company of the trendy Chinese tea chain and its US franchise operators. A court injunction barred the US operators from using the brand's trademarks, forcing a viral rebrand to "? Tea" in New York. Headquarters' Allegations: According to court documents, the corporate office revoked the operators' trademark rights after claiming: - Unauthorized Expansions: The US operator opened a Los Angeles location without prior corporate approval. - Unapproved Ingredients: The franchise was sourcing ingredients independently, violating strict corporate quality and recipe standards. - Hiding Profits: Headquarters accused the operators of voiding their contract by allegedly hiding store revenues and bypassing royalty payments. The Franchisee's Perspective: The US operators disputed the claims. Before the courts stepped in, franchisees alleged that corporate HQ had attempted to aggressively renegotiate the ownership equity, attempting to slash the operator's share from 80% to 30% after the US locations proved highly lucrative. Current Status & Rebranding: Due to the legal injunction, the affected stores were forced to scrub the name "Molly Tea" from their storefronts, uniforms, and delivery apps. The operator complied by covering up the logos and using hand-drawn question marks on cups, quickly earning the nickname "? Tea" among fans.

Decadent taste and quick friendly service. Drink was made quickly as I came Thursday during main working hours (4pm) I downloaded the app and got 10% off first order and also 1 dollar off order $15+...I used the 10% off. The ambiance is clean and modern but it's pretty load from the drink making and outside noise as they keep their door open. Decent seating and NO bathroom access.

And it was delicious!! The tea taste was very strong, and 30% sugar was a perfect kick of sweetness. I might be tripping but there were hints of orange flavor in this, I'm not sure if they added some to their tea but it was amazing and floral and fragrant. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was definitely busy. It took around 20 minutes to order and get my drink. Very limited seating inside so don't plan to drink your tea in there. I'm gonna come back to try their fruit drinks :)

I use to really like this place but after today, I won't be back. The buffet use to have high quality and fresh food but that was about 10 years ago. Nowadays, it's overly priced and the quality and variety just doesn't match up. No lobster, no higher end meats, etc. The steak that they do offer, was very tough to chew. For a place that charges so much, only offers mediocre food at best. You walk out there feeling ripped off. The service was attentive and very thorough though. No complaints there. If you're thinking about coming here for dinner, make sure to skip this place.

I was surprised to see they serve fried chicken, so I ordered the Boneless Cheese Chicken. It came with 10 generously sized pieces that were crispy, heavily coated in cheese powder, and honestly so good I almost finished the entire box. For drinks, I tried the Matcha Coconut Water (pictured). It was rich and creamy with a nice matcha flavor, though I was hoping for a bit more fresh coconut taste. I also ordered the Brown Sugar Oreo Boba Milk Tea (not pictured) with 30% sugar, and that ended up being my favorite. It was creamy, not overly sweet, and had little Oreo chunks throughout that made every sip extra tasty. If you're looking for a place where you can grab both bubble tea and a satisfying snack or meal, Tsaocaa is definitely worth checking out.
