    Royal Ceylon milk tea with cheese foam
    Caroline N.

    Stumbled upon this boba shop after grabbing lunch in the same complex on a Saturday afternoon. I loved the design of the blue seating that lined the walls. I don't see Ceylon black tea offered in many boba spots, so that addition impressed me! I ordered the Royal Ceylon with Cheese foam, but this drink comes with the Ceylon black tea only, so I asked for it to be made into a milk tea with cheese foam instead. As expected, it was SO good - a perfectly sweet and decadent drink. I've thought about this drink for the next few days and will certainly be back.

    Cute seating.

    Q: What did the bubble tea say to the milk? A: We are a pearl-fect match for one another, you and I. I was actually down the street grabbing coffee at a new shop when we stumbled across this spot. Did I have two drinks on a Saturday? I sure did! I was double-fisting Vietnamese coffee and a sugary Mango Duo Duo! I got the Mango Duo Duo here and stole sips of the Blueberry with Cheese Foam. I hate to say it, but I wasn't impressed with this place. Both drinks were oddly bland. This was one drink I wasn't too interested in finishing, which, if you know me, it's surprising to admit! Nonetheless, I wish Tan Cha much success.

    Mid-tier boba with minimal ambience. Was eating at the kbbq joint next door (also mid) and stopped in for some boba. We ordered five drinks and were the only ones there. The drinks came out slow and out of order. As we watched them make the drinks we noticed most of them were powdered based. Didn't seem the best quality. For the drink flavor themselves it all was surprisingly bland. I've had plenty of taro drinks and the cream cheese topping, and the drink looked the part, but didn't taste good. The taro milk tea itself was watery, indicating it wasn't really taro. The cream cheese was also watery, and very yellow which was odd. The boba was fine, but not the best I had either. Overall I would skip the place. There's plenty of better places to choose from.

    My son and I are avid boba lovers. We love to try all the boba spots we can. Since we aren't usually in the area and we happened to be on this side of town for the afternoon i figured we would give it a try. So upon entering the parking lot it was pretty packed since it shares a lot with krave Korean bbq and Ted's hot dog. Anyways we walk in and it's painfully quiet, don't even remember even getting a hello welcome in type of warm greeting to be honest. Strike one! We order our drinks (brown sugar milk tea for my son) and the mango duo duo sounded interesting because i tend to love yakult drinks or fruity beverages. My son's drink was pretty good. Mine on the other hand was okay. It grew on me after awhile just the initial first few sips were different from what i was expecting. My son is beyond social and not exactly well spoken quite yet. So he was trying to make conversation with the lady behind the counter. Now if she was engaging during our visit i might have considered making another trip back to try more but since it was us usually trying to make conversation i don't think this will have a return visit.

    Featured new drinks: Oreo brûlée milk tea, tarp brûlée milk tea, roasted brûlée milk tea (all with boba)

    My boba sistah (and mini boba sistah) were craving a boba drink after lunch, so we decided to try out this new spot. Tempe is no stranger to boba shops, and there is another one in this same complex and across the street. Competition! I like that they had a top 10 list of their drinks, the #1 being a royal Ceylon tea with tiramisu? Never would've thought of that as a topping. It interested me until my companion noticed they had some featured drinks advertised on the counter, and sharing the same foodie brain, we both were intrigued by the roasted brûlée milk tea. I ordered a large with 50% sugar level, less ice, and honey boba (already comes with). The price tag is higher on these drinks, but honestly it was worth the splurge. I usually try a classic milk tea when visited a new boba shop but I'm glad I tried something extra. I took my first sip and was immediately satisfied by the flavor of the smooth creme brûlée and the burnt sugar on top. What a concept! I'm glad this location isn't close to home, otherwise I might be here a little too often. The balance of the less-sweet milk tea and the honey boba with the creme brûlée topping was really nice, and I found myself getting every last drop once I finished my drink. Service was great and the shop itself is so cute. The seating is unique and there is fun decoration that makes for a good photo opportunity. We saw a few gals come in and do just that. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again, that creme brûlée is going to be on my mind for a while.

    All the drinks here are all very good and not super sweet at all. I very much enjoy the mango yakult but i tasted more of the yakult more than the mango. I went near closing hours and I love he decorations here. The drinks came out quick and it was super yummy

    First time trying out Tan Cha. They are local and I always like to give business to the neighborhood. I opted for a mango cheese foam this time around. The mango was smooth and the cheese foam had that nice salty taste to balance out with the sweetness from the mango. Overall it was very tasty. The boba wasn't anything exciting, I prefer brown sugar boba but they don't offer it. Staff were friendly and the restaurant was clean inside. Cute aesthetic. I would come back to try something else.

    Menu (part 1) on grand opening day (6/24/23)

    Brand new boba tea shop in Tempe! Grand opening this weekend (6/24-6/25/23) with BOGO drinks! They also gave us a super cute boba keychain for signing up to be a member (lifetime membership, 20% off ALL orders forever! ) Fantastic ambience for grand opening. Staff was very welcoming and everyone had a smile on their face, which my daughter likes..."looks like they're happy to be there, so we should be happy too!" Menu is extensive, so we will need many more return trips to try everything. Today, we ordered their #1 bestseller, Royal Ceylon Milk Tea w/Tiramisu Foam + boba (50% sweet, light ice) and Taro ball milk tea (50% sweet, light ice). Both came with a free boba milk tea!! Tea was flavorful and the tiramisu foam tasted just like tiramisu (a little coffee, a little creamy) Perfect sweetness and the boba is exactly how it should be: chewy and brown sugar-flavored! Taro balls were also on point! We're curious about their Uji Matcha and fruit tea drinks! Decor: relaxed and cute! Kaws fans alert: Tan Cha has a life size Kaws sculpture (perfect for selfies) and wall art! Cute and comfy seating line the length of the shop. There is a unisex bathroom near the back as well. All in all, a great first visit (of many!)

    The Royal Ceylan Milk Tea w.Tiramisu is one of their popular drinks advertised in store. I got normal sweetness and didn't change anything about the order. I have to say there wasn't nothing special about the milk tea. I felt like at 100% sweetness it wasn't sweet. I did like the boba texture. The staff were friendly and the boba shop was really clean.

    Finally, yummy authentic taiwanese style boba place in this area. I love how they have so many variety in terms of more like an actual tea flavor, I tried their Oolong milk tea with boba- and it was so good! The tea was good, still milky, and their boba is perfectly cooked. Yum! However, they were really slow even though there was no one besides me, I assume they'd need some time to learn/adjust? But they were friendly! And they have such a cute figure :) def one of my go-to boba spots around this area!

    Passion fruit Duo Duo
    Brandon Y.

    Never had a Yakult based boba before! I had the Passion Fruit Duo Duo. It was super tasty and even comes with toppings crystal boba + coco jelly. It was more balanced than a typical fruit tea. Staff was super attentive and able to make suggestions. A great add to the many neighborhood boba options.

    I am not a connoisseur of Boba drinks, but I am trying my best to get into them. On a whim, we decided to try this little shop down the street. They have been open for about a year and they have a very vast menu. As someone who doesn't know what they like until they've tried it, I was a little overwhelmed. I have a love-hate relationship with Boba. Initially I like the Boba balls but after a while, it's just too much chewing for me and I lose interest. The staff member let me try the Boba first before I committed, which I really appreciate it. The drink itself was kind of what I expected. It wasn't terribly sweet which was a pleasant surprise for me and I love that the Boba are served warm. All in all, I would go back. I don't believe it was terribly expensive either.

    taro smoothie
    Angela H.

    Another new boba shop in Tempe that doesn't disappoint! This store is located on Broadway and McClintock, and parking is widely available in the plaza lot. The interior of the store has an interesting vibe with black and blue colors, a life-size statue of their mascot, and a mini claw machine in the corner. Service is great, and the staff speaks Mandarin and English, so you can order in either language. I decided to order the taro smoothie with boba at 25% sweetness, and I enjoyed my drink! The taro paste was smooth but not too sweet, and the boba came out warm, soft, and chewy. I will have to say that the drinks are on the pricier side when other stores have a lower base price for their drinks (for Tan Cha, it's 6.75 for boba milk tea, or 7.70 for thai tea with boba), which is why I would give my overall experience a 4 out of 5. I'll probably come back at some point, as their selection seems quite interesting and I'd love to try more of their drinks!

Another fabulous experience with wonderful people and a relaxed layout. Owner Minet and her hubby Oscar run a fabulous and friendly operation! They were so wonderful about modifying my latte, exactly to my taste as they indulge me in making an iced double shot over ice with Nutella and a splash of blue fat milk. It is perfect for those who love espresso-forward flavors and Nutella! I love all the different seating areas, community table, and outdoor benches--perfect when sunny but not yet hot. I will definitely enjoyed basking in it today! My only wish is that they had easier parking, there are a few spots just outside if you're only going to be in and out within 15 minutes but otherwise there's a parking lot that will validate up to two hours, then it's three dollars per hour for additional time.
