    Matcha Latte Milk Tea with Pearl Boba
    Nayra B.

    This shop is so cute!! Former coffee shop and specialty tea shop barista here! I stopped into Tastea for a pick me up while out running some errands and am SO sad I didn't get to stay longer. This place is just too adorable and the menu looked just as sweet. It had a good mix of popular choices and local favorites, and their Bubble Waffles looked like they'd be a fun treat. I ordered a Matcha Latte Milk Tea with Pearl Boba and enjoyed it quite a bit! There wasn't a lot of focus on the matcha flavor which was fine as it was refreshing nonetheless. It was mixed well and wasn't too sweet, nor was the Boba. The Boba wasn't too chewy or under cooked either, and though I couldn't tell if it was made with honey or brown sugar the sweet flavor was pleasant. Next time I'm in the area I'll be sure to return. I need to try one of their Bubble Waffles!

    Disappointed in the taste of this strawberry, banana, pineapple smoothie. Wanted to give this local place a try, should have stuck to my normal place. Update after owner response: i appreciate it but the teenager (young girl) that was there working wasn't pleasant. (See time/date stamp, so u can narrow down who it is) Not going to come back again. Best wishes!

    Cute !!

    Late-night cravings led me to Tastea Boba on 281--and I'm so glad they did! I tried the ube matcha paired with a bubble waffle and Oreo ice cream... pure deliciousness. The ube matcha was just right--not overly sweet, which I loved. The shop itself is clean, cute, and cozy, with a really welcoming vibe. The staff was super friendly, and I even got to chat with the owner, who mentioned they just opened a couple of months ago. If you're in the area, please stop by and support this local gem--they're doing it right! I'll definitely be back to try more drinks and desserts.

    Posted Store Hours

    While out shopping, I noticed this place and decided to stop in after seeing the posted hours on the door stating they close at 9 PM (Monday-Friday). I arrived a few minutes before 8 PM and was greeted politely. I ordered my drink and briefly stepped away to use the restroom. When I returned, the same employee who had initially been pleasant said rudely, "For future reference, we close at eight." I apologized and pointed out that the door clearly states 9 PM. She offered no explanation - just glared at me. As I was leaving, she laughed with another employee and locked the door behind me. The behavior was unprofessional and unnecessary. If the business closes at 8 PM, the posted hours should reflect that. Based on this experience and the confusion surrounding their own listed hours, I will not be returning.

    Wonderful, fresh made tea! Such a cute place, with the highest quality ingredients! We loved our teas and shake!

    Ube matcha and Thai tea

    First time coming and just immediately knew it was one of a kind. The place itself is a nice and cozy and comfy. The owner is such a sweetheart and puts so much thought and consideration into her business. The drinks we had were amazing and we definitely will be coming back for more.

    Peach blossom tea with lychee jelly and house milk tea.

    My favorite tea place !!! Staff is always so friendly. Super clean and quick. They make the tea fresh. You can tell they care and want customers happy. Always want to help choose what goes best together.

    Cute, clean, convenient location, excellent customer service, calm and quiet atmosphere (cutesy animal crossing on the tv). YUMMY drinks made fresh with natural, whole ingredients. A little pricey, but well worth it!

    I stopped by this Gong Cha location because this almost 100 degree heat in San Antonio was melting…read moreme and this was the closest option, but you can honestly never go wrong with Gong Cha. The quality is always solid to me. The store is comfortable and the staff all provide great customer service. A big plus is that this store also closes at 10pm. I ordered: - Fat Cat Purrfect Latte Large - Original Waffle I honestly don't know the difference between the Fat Cat Purrfect Latte and something like a regular Brown Sugar Milk Tea, but I loved the name and the drink was pretty good. Not overwhelmingly sweet and you can taste the tea flavor. I didn't get boba with it so I can't speak for the quality of the boba. I also ordered the Original Waffle with no topics because I'm an extremely basic person. They do take a while to make understandably so, but not gonna lie I finished my drink and went back to my car. Then started the enginge only to realize I still have a bubble waffle being made. I came back and the team member updated me on how much time was left until it's completed which is appreciated. It was worth the wait though. It was a really good bubble waffle with a fluffy interior and crispy outside. I'd be happy coming back here again.

    Haven't been here in awhile but had a BOGOF reward for their new Leviteas which are less sweeter &…read moreless calories. I looked at the menu online & saw they have a Matcha Levitea with Green Jelly and it's only $4 so I stopped by after the gym. There was a construction truck with a crane in front so I parked on the side by the drive-thru. I walked in and it was quiet, no piped in music but a young male employee came to the counter. I showed him my phone with the BOGOF reward & told him that I wanted the Matcha Latte. I paid for what was listed as 1 order on the kiosk & figured he'd make 2 of the same? I asked if I could use the restroom & he said it was around the corner. While he was making my drink, I went to the co-ed bathroom. I looked in the toilet & it was disgustingly dirty so I left & didn't bother using it. I waited & saw him prep only one drink but figured he was doing it one at a time. A gentleman came in with 2 little kids and said to me "Are they open?" And I said "Yeah, there's someone here." The clerk came out & the man said "Where's the menu?" The clerk pointed to the laminated menu on the counter. They used to have a lit menu board above the counter but it's gone or maybe broken? Afterwards, the clerk gave me my drink & I said "Isn't it BOGOF?" and he said "I wasn't sure what you wanted for the other one??" I think he's not very assertive working the front counter because he didn't even bother to ask me when he took my order?? Maybe he's new and/or wasn't trained? Plus, I was the only customer in the store when he took my order. I told him I wanted the same thing. He proceeded to make me another one & I thanked him. While waiting, I took photos of games, events & promos they have. Maybe it's busier in the evening when young kids hang out after school or for those events? As far as the Matcha Levitea, it was really refreshing, not cloyingly sweet & perfect for the mid-day. I'd go back for that!

    A small but clean tea shop…read more Former coffee shop and specialty tea shop barista here! I stopped by Y Bubble later in the evening about an hour before close for a pick me up and the place was pretty quiet. A few customers came to pick up orders, but otherwise it was just me in store. The place was extra clean with board games in one corner for customers to play, and the barista was pretty quick with my order. My original order was a Matcha Jasmine Milk Tea with Tapioca Boba and Almond Milk, but after I was rung up and the barista went back to make the drink itself, she informed me that they were out of Almond Milk but could do Coconut instead. Since I'd paid the extra amount for a dairy replacement, I agreed. The resulting drink was interesting to say the least. Had the drink been a plain matcha milk tea with coconut milk or a matcha jasmine with a milk substitute that didn't have such a strong flavor of its own it would have been fine, but the three bold flavors together in one drink were super confusing. It was tropical with floral notes that didn't pair well with coconut, and the matcha just didn't have a chance to shine between the two. Not to mention that the mixed flavor profile was so muddled I could not discern if the boba was made in a brown sugar or honey syrup; the taste was just completely lost. The drink altogether was fine, but this is a combination I can't say I'd order again. Given the hiccup in the visit, I know need to give this location another try. A place being out of a certain ingredient for the day isn't a bad thing, but in this particular instance it made a weird enough drink that lessened the overall experience.

    We got a winter melon drink and a strawberry lemon bubble tea. I like the inside and they offer…read moresome games to play with friends. There's several tables to relax at. They ran out of what I originally ordered so I had to choose a different drink. Orders came out quickly and the staff were helpful in helping us figure out our order.
