AI SLOP
Paige R.

I've been coming to this place for YEARS and am appalled at the use of Generative AI they used to promote their new menu. Not only does it make the food look disgustingly uncanny, they put "support small businesses" on the bottom. Thats ironic because you just outsourced a graphic design job to a ROBOT. Why not practice what you preach? The dangers of AI are well known in this day and age, just turn on the TV and you can see the news talking about how there was just an AI hoax in Orange County. Don't even get me started on the damage data centers do. Anyways this will be the last time I patronize here! AI sucks for a million reasons and I will miss Tai Tea!

Mango slush , taro and Ice Milk 1
Jessica B.

We love the boba here and all the different top, service is great. Everyone is friendly.

Friend and I went here after dinner. I got the tarp tea but it was okay. It kind of tasted like the tea was over-steeped. It's a cute, little cafe. It was clean. Workers did their job. You can also sit outside.

Strawberry matcha latte

Was working on some stuff at the FedEx in this complex and came across Tai Tea. It's a cute and cozy little shop. They have a great variety of drinks to choose from. I went with the strawberry matcha latte. I like my strawberry matcha because of the sweetness the strawberry is supposed to bring but something was kind of off about it. The free wifi was really slow when I connected on my laptop. The customer service was great and the seating area was relaxing and quiet. I would give this place another try but I'd probably get a different drink like the strawberry lemonade or the taro.

Hazelnut Milk Tea
Ayden P.

What I Ordered: Hazelnut Milk Tea with Boba ($4.45) Food: Never have I seen a Hazelnut Milk Tea in any other boba shops, so I had to try it! I love hazelnut lattes, so it was an easy decision. With my first sip, the sweet and nutty flavors of the milk tea created a strong pleasant aroma. The boba had the perfect consistency and sweetness that complemented the drink very well. The story about this boba shop is that an asian mafia family used to run the shop as a front, but their boba became so popular that they stopped doing crimes and went full time as a boba shop! HOW CRAZY IS THAT?! Service: Staff are friendly and kind! Ambiance: Plenty of seats inside the restaurant! Parking is easy to find in the lot.

Amazing drinks! This is one of my favorite tea places with so many options and creative drinks. The tables and sitting is very relaxing and the workers are very polite. Would come again!

Ice Milk 1, Lychee Strawberry Slushy, Oolong Special Milk Tea
Vivian D.

Came in at 1:30 PM looking for a cool treat to beat the heat. Very quick service and the store gives off cozy vibes with plenty of seating, given the smaller size of the store! Ice Milk 1 - very yummy, gives Half and Half vibes. Recommend the less caramel option if you don't like your drinks super sweet Oolong Milk Tea - strong oolong flavor Strawberry Lychee Slushy - strong strawberry and lychee flavor in every sip, very refreshing Drinks were less than $5 and the size was still very decent, which is unheard of in this economy!

Rose Milk Tea with Boba and Pudding
Archie S.

A nice little tea lounge! There are a few tables inside for seating area which is nice since so many tea shops these days are targeted for pick up and no seating area. They had a nice list of teas and drinks on their menu and some special drinks posted around the area. I tried the Rose Milk Tea with boba and pudding. It sounded really good on a hot day. The tea was good but just about industry standard, in my opinion the tea was slightly watery and the flavor of the rose was not really there much. But the pudding and boba they used were really good. Nice chewy tapioca and the pudding had a nice firmness and flavor to it. I'd still come to get a tea if I'm in the area, maybe a different milk tea next time.

got the brown sugar milk tea with honey boba and it was okay. i did like how they had their specialty drinks on the wall. helped me order and choose a drink from the wall. i'd say there is some seating inside but it's pretty hot so it's not a study spot

Oreo Crumble Slushy Vietnamese Special Coffee
Desiree P.

Been in here a handful of times, but this time it seemed more unkept. And the staff wasn't friendly. I got the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and it was super bitter. I unfortunately think it's time to find a different local tea shop.

Ask the Community - Tai Tea

I'm trying to place an order via door dash and I'm unable to order honey boba for my tea. Is this not available anymore?

It might have been a glitch in the system. When I went today, they did have honey boba.

Can you use almond milk instead of regular milk or are there any low carb options?

You can asked to have almond milk, soy milk

Do you have dairy free options for the milk teas?

Yes we have non dairy milkteas.

Did the name use to be h2snow and now under new management?

I'm not sure about new management... But it used to be called, H2Snow.

I just don't like the service when everything i asked was no no no. Like why would it matter to you? It doesnt cost that much for you to loose a repeat customer. Second, one of my son dont want boba. So I said to put boba in mine. Aloe to be exact. So it's an even swap. But no, Renee said no bc it's a different drink. There is still a barrier on the counter and she is mumbling. I don't know why when she speak she is mumbling the whole time. She said ít was my fault i paid before she put in the discount. I gave her the 15% off to apply but she didn't apply it on time since I paid for it. I asked her to reverse it but she needed the owner to show her how. Then they made my husband drink wrong because they don't listen. I won't be a customer as long as Renee still work here. There should be no reason for an employee to treat customers like this. Even customers behind me was not feeling right. They won't come back either. They are here to enjoy their time but employees are giving bad attitude and tensions for no reasons. Then started laughing in the back. Employees do make a huge difference when it comes to keeping your customers come back. I live nearby. I will come back when Renee is not there anymore.

Standout choices on the beverage menu include the Abuelita Latte and the Matcha Iced Milk Tea, both bursting with authentic flavors that are fresh and invigorating. The Hispanic twist on some beverages adds a unique touch to the offerings. Gracias!! The excellent service provided by the gentleman behind the counter, despite working alone, he was exceptionally helpful and friendly, ensuring a swift and seamless experience. This efficiency did not come at the cost of customer care, as he took the time to engage with us and create a welcoming environment. A cozy and welcoming space for guests to relax and enjoy their drinks or bites, perfect spot for a morning meeting, video call or mornin date! Overall, Green Leaves Tea Café is a fantastic spot for a morning indulgence, where the combination of great service, authentic flavors, a lively ambiance, and delectable food options make for a truly enjoyable visit.

I tried the Formosan breakfast black tea and Metal Goddess Oolong Tea and both were so good! The breakfast black tea had a lighter, more floral note and the metal goddess had a deeper flavor of oolong which I loved. The servers ask you to try the drink before you leave to ensure you enjoy the drink, which is great but also lowkey made me feel kinda pressured to saying I liked it. But I really did like my drinks so it was fine. Overall a great spot for pure tea enthusiasts, since their teas taste freshly brewed. I didn't try their milk teas so I can't say how the milk would affect the flavor of the tea.

Wife n I love it here, we come here very often, like 2x-3x/ week often; however this last time I saw new faces, and while the veterans there know what they're doing, the new ones (whilst trying to be nice) just didn't have much common sense? Tried asking for a bag.. usually when I come with my daughter I order two drinks, for my wife and I, and carrying my child, they always accommodated. Especially since they empathize with my daughter. Tonight, however, they didn't. New girl said bags are only for 3 drinks per order (which I didn't know), told her it's hard to manage with my child, and idk if she didn't have any common sense, but just shrugged and moved on. Mind you I come here often, tip them well always (25% per their screen option since they previously were always so kind), and was sad to see how inconsiderate they were this time. I asked again in efforts to get some empathy at least this once but was just ignored.. I had to manage carrying two drinks along with my 1 y old, and soon as I left the place, because their cups are so brittle, the drink fell and spilled all over my car. It was super annoying, an issue that could have been avoided had they just made an exception to give a lad a bag to a loyal customer whom always tips them, didn't bother going back. I was very annoyed and upset, $20 down the drain for two drinks plus tip. Went to Hey Tea, no issues getting a bag n two drinks, ended up throwing mine away at how disgusted n bothered I was with Desouro. Wife liked the drink there, and said she had a similar bad experience this last time she went to Desouro. Sad to see them losing it.

Good luck trying to get in on a weekend. I happen to be in the area on a weekday afternoon. There wasnt a line so I figured I would check it out. First of all, the moment you walk in, you are met with the most refreshing fruit scent. I dont know how they do it but I like it. Anyways, first time here so I just clocked what everyone else was ordering and got the same thing. I think it was called mango boom. Even with barely any line and maybe 4-5ppl in front of me waiting, it maybe took about a good 10-15 min to get my drink. Not a big deal. The person taking my order gave me a heads up too. I noticed while I was waiting, other ppl walked in to pick up their order. I'm guessing there is a way to order online or on an app or something. When I got got my drink though, I really thought it was soooo mid. And I know this is probably blasphemy because this place has some sort of cult following from my understanding, but I really didn't get the hype. Maybe if someone can recommend me another drink I would be willing to try it but as of now, I'm kind of glad it didn't work out for me because you will never see me in those long lines.

The drinks are absolutely phenomenal from their milk teas to their slushies, each item is made to perfection. Upon entering the establishment, you can expect to have your order taken relatively quickly. They have a variety of high quality beverage options to choose from including fresh tea, fruit tea, milk tea, and their special creamomo creations. Personally, I always get their Omomo matcha which is their signature ice blended drink made with ceremonial matcha. This drink is definitely a must try for anyone going to this spot for the first time, it's one of their best sellers for good reason. You can also get your drinks modified in terms of sweetness and ice level (depending on the drink).

I mean the line is out the door, no matter the day or time, and it's especially bad at night. So I figured there had to be a day and time where we could finally check it out, and I'm glad we did. The servers were all extremely sweet, and they gave us their insight on what the best drinks were and what we should try, so we went with what they recommended. The drinks were good, but I wasn't blown away. I got the Matcha Omomo since that's what the place is named after, so I figured why not. It was beautiful, don't get me wrong, all the drinks were gorgeous, with a lot of color and super pretty. But the flavor just didn't live up to the anticipation of that long line and seeing so many people go here. I was expecting a 10 out of 10, or at least a flavor that made me go wow, now I understand why everybody's waiting. I don't know if we got the wrong thing, but we ordered what they suggested, and it just didn't hit that level. My wife got the watermelon green tea and said it was nothing crazy, and she didn't even finish it. Not to say what they have isn't good, it just wasn't special enough to make us want to come back. For a line that takes maybe 40 minutes to order and get a drink, I was looking for more of a wow factor and I didn't get it. It was good for what it was, and that's honestly all I can say about it.
