Boba was yummy, they have claw machines!! I won a giveaway for two free drinks - got a milk tea and fruit tea

Been wanting to try this boba spot since last year! Kaws is so dope. Their Thai tea with boba was exceptional. Service was good. Ambiance is very kawaii and clean. read more

This is one of the best boba tea shops you'll find in AZ. Super great quality and flavors. Very kind and friendly staff. They have added a bunch of cool art decor and a ton of claw machine games so bring a few dollars for that, the kids love it. This is my go-to place because of the convenient location. Order online if you're in a hurry and it'll be ready right on time. read more

Tan Cha - Brown sugar boba milk and pudding - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!) read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

4.5/5 I'm always up for trying a new boba place, especially with my boba sistah! After a satisfying lunch we headed over here to try some tea! The shop is nestled in the same plaza as the Korean BBQ place and is behind Ted's Hot Dogs. The shop is smallish with some 2 top tables off to the side. The ambiance is nice and the menu is very easy to browse through. I appreciate that they offer a list of their top ten items for those that are looking for boba inspiration. As I was browsing, I saw on the counter their special items, a list of three different brulee tea drinks. Creme brulee in a bubble tea? Um, yes I will have to try this! I opted for the roasted creme brulee tea in a large size. This drink will automatically come with boba and sugar level can be adjusted. I went for 25% and I think that amount of sweetness worked well for me with the creamy sweetness of the foam topping and the sugary syrup the boba was steeped in. While pricey at nearly $8 it was soooo amazing. I have to agree with my lovely boba sistah that from now on I will be wanting everything boba related with a brulee top! It really was brulee'd with sugar crystals caramelized with a flame for that roasted, crunchy, caramelized sugar flavor. It's a great drink to get on a splurge! The boba was soft and chewy, a good consistency. The little one had a Yakult drink, the passionfruit duo duo at 25% sweetness. The passionfruit drink automatically comes with coconut jelly which is a nice little inclusion. This drink at a small size was a more wallet friendly $5. With the plethora of boba options now in the East Valley, this one does stand out for its quality drinks. I'd go back again for sure. Details: - Drinks can be adjusted for sweetness and ice level - Heat sealed and removable lids both offered - Caffeine free drinks available read more

Stopped in to get a drink because it was on my way to an appointment. I was the only one there so the service was great. She understood that I didn't want the drink sweet and made the sugar adjustment perfectly but the drink wasn't good at all. I ordered the Grapefruit Tea. I like places that use fresh fruit or at least fresh juice and this drink seemed to have neither. It was very artificial tasting and the grapefruit pieces that were in the drink seemed like they came out of a can. read more

I got the honey grapefruit green tea and it was really good. It had lychee bits and some of the grapefruit rind which made it a bit tart mixed with the drink having honey with some sweetness makes it a perfect combo. They have these fun claw machines (we won but at what cost) which made a fun atmosphere. Absolutely coming again read more

Overall rating: 3.5/5 Wait: 4/5 Arrival time: Sunday 1:30pm Food: 3.5/5 Order: royal ceylan milk tea with tiramisu, signature grass jelly milk tea Service: n/a Price: 3.5/5 Worth a try but probably won't be back I visited tan cha boba tea on a Sunday afternoon and the wait was not too bad. I ordered the royal ceylan milk tea with tiramisu and the signature grass jelly milk tea. The royal ceylan was creamy and smooth, but the tiramisu topping was a bit too sweet for my taste. The signature grass jelly milk tea had a lot of toppings, including red bean, boba, and grass jelly. However, the grass jelly was the hard kind, which I don't like, and the red bean was a weird combination with the milk tea. The price was reasonable, but not cheap. The service was fine, but nothing special. Overall, I would give tan cha boba tea a 3.5/5 rating. It was worth a try, but I probably won't be back. read more

Tried their soft and grand opening offers! So far I've tried their honey lemon tea, citrus lemon tea and their Uji matcha (not pictured). All drinks were legit and offer sugar adjustments. We were able to try their classic boba as well during the grand opening. The classic bobas were okay. Nice service. Clean tables. No reward offers at this time. I'd come back to try the tiramisu drink! read more

Best milk tea place in Phoenix! Tastes like what I've tried in Los Angeles. I would recommend Ceylon milk tea to everyone. It's weird that no one mentions about Ceylon milk tea with tiramisu foam in the comment. This one is ranked as the top 1 popular drink on their menu. I would say it's worth to be the top 1. The taste is much better than regular milk tea in any places. I would suggest 50% sugar with additional tiramisu foam. read more

The decor was nice and different. Stopped in on their soft opening. The service was okay, felt a little awkward because the staff was not welcoming. I ordered a small thai ice tea with boba. Thai ice tea was okay lacking some flavor but the boba was soft. It's a little pricy for a small size, but overall not bad. read more

We had the opportunity to stop by this place today. I ordered an Orange Oolong Tea for myself, while my husband got what I believe was Cocoa Tiramisu. We had to wait for a while because the owner was training his new staff. Usually, this wouldn't be a problem for me, but my daughter was having a meltdown, so I wished he would just give us the drinks instead. My drink was really fresh, and despite ordering it with 100% sugar, it wasn't overly sweet at all. My husband's cocoa drink was impressive, although it wasn't to my personal taste, I still thought it was good. I gave it a 4-star rating because the drinks were quite expensive. Without the soft opening discount, it would have cost nearly $19 for just two drinks. Additionally, the boba was bland. We might consider returning if we happen to be in the area again. read more

First off, I was excited to try this place. My preference for fruit teas are that they still have some tea flavor and not overrun by the fruit syrup. The balance of flavor was there. The prices are kinda high for what you're getting. Maybe was just a one off experience so if I'm around the area, I'll give it another go. read more

Love this place. I have been going everyday. They are giving a 20 percent discount for soft opening. I went yesterday and noticed my price for the same drink was cheaper. Make sure they actually apply the discount because it didn't apply the other times I went. June 24 and 25 they do buy one get one small classic milk boba free. Sign up for membership and pay $20 to get freebie keychain. Then you can spend the $20 right away. You get a freebie fan/pen combo. I have too many drinks now... 3 large drinks: tiramisu foam, matcha foam, and 1 classic milk tea with $1 topping each plus 3 classic free milk teas came out to $28ish. The 20% discount doesn't apply today and tomorrow for the buy one get one free. The service is always friendly. They gave me the box. Am I the only one that seat belts my togo? read more
