Really good boba teas and such kind people working here! She was incredibly sweet and made my toddler another drink after she accidentally dropped and spilled her first one. Truly appreciated their patience and kindness -- great drinks and great service. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

SHORT ANSWER: Yes, a great small business offering excellent options. LOCATION: In a retail / business center with lots of parking. FACILITY: Minimal TI buildout but good enough not going over the top with expense. There are a few seats and tables inside and a few outside, but minimal. MENU: I don't know what to say, I was a bit overwhelmed with choices and then options, this was my first visit so maybe menu is normal... FOOD PREP: Very well done, with care, nice presentation. FOOD QUALITY: Matcha Creme Latte $6.67 with Sea Salt foam with boba. WAITSTAFF: very nice and did not rush me as I had really no idea what I was ordering. OVERALL VALUE: wow, I think a great value and I will return, because it was very good, people were nice, but it also seemed like a great value. TIP: If you're like me, I had never had boba and id not know what it was, well it was great. Look at the menu online and know what you want prior. I would have like to known calories and sugar content but guess its was high... read more

I've been going here from time to time and usually get the matcha or jasmine tea. This time, my mom tried the strawberry matcha, but it wasn't as good. It tasted a bit more sour than sweet and the strawberry didn't really complement the matcha. The service was pretty fast since we were the only ones there and it's still a good place to go for boba in Palm Desert. It's also a fun place to hang out since they provide board games. Thank you! read more

Lots of fun and cool drinks. They still have seasonal drinks so my friend got a gingerbread chai...I think it was and she said it was delicious. I had the opt for something with no sugar and tried the roasted oolong, but that didn't taste great so they changed it for the Jasmine tea which was so much better and I got to enjoy that with my friend while we played Jenga and vibed out to the awesome playlist they were playing. There was one point where we both got up and started dancing a little bit... That was fun. Great service! We'll be back. The only downside is that there is no food or snack offered there what?! read more

Great place to pick up drinks! Service was wonderful, very friendly and helpful. They have a huge variety on their menu and I really enjoyed the Vietnamese coffee as well as the Matcha. I love how sturdy their cups are and that they have large sizes available as well. Our drinks were made to order quickly and can be customized your liking.

I was craving a Taro boba milk tea and tried this place for the first time. Everything looked so good so I got 2 drinks (one Taro and one Strawberry Matcha). I wish they had options to sample before buying. The Taro milk tea was amazing and I love the honey boba on the bottom. The strawberry matcha was recommended by the worker with the strawberry popping boba and it was not good. I usually love matcha but didn't like the earthy flavor. Also, the popping boba was not the same as traditional boba. Overall, I would go again. The place was really cute! While we waited they had games to play which was awesome while waiting! I will probably stick to getting my usual. Hope this helps read more

This place used to be good but I think because they are training new people the drinks aren't as good as they used to be. I used to get the Vietnamese coffee with foam and every time I go it's not as good as it used to be. I think it's just they are training new people so it's best to wait read more

When I'm in the desert visiting family I try and make a stop here. Tea be honest has been a favorite of mine for a while now. Service is awesome, staff is always warm and welcoming. I know they have opened up several new locations so it's nice to know they continue to grow! Their Thai tea is also delicious! Also their tea refreshments are always on point! read more

Great drinks, well balanced in sweetness and flavor and most importantly, soft chewy honey boba. This was my first time here and so I tried their taro hokaido blended with boba , taro blended and strawberry milk tea with strawberry boba. This place has a bit more variety in boba flavors which was a nice change as most boba places I go just has honey boba or brown sugar. Loved the sturdy containers with a straw cap. Decor of the place could use some warmth and color but it was clean. I will return to try more flavors. read more

The gal that helped us out was super sweet and friendly. It definitely felt inviting and I love the fact that the business shares its Asian owned so we were hopeful that the quality would be of great quality. The drinks were well made and I'm they did use fresh fruits for our drinks. The only reason I dinged them a star is the ambiance of the place. There were some displays of games, but no background music to bring up the atmosphere a bit. While waiting for our drinks, it just seemed a bit of a downer since there was nothing upbeat to the place. Other than that the boba was made fresh and quality was definitely there in the drinks read more

Super friendly staff. Had a Thai milk tea blended with honey boba - yummy! Wish they had one in Orange County - I would be a regular.

This little place was good. There was a long line but the girl was friendly and quick. Tried a couple of drinks the brown sugar was my fav. The dirty milk tea was pretty good too. The only reason that I'm not giving it a 5 is because it was super hot in there. read more

Tea Be Honest, I don't recommend this place. We were so disappointed!! We specifically came here to try out new boba spots we haven't been to since we're not from the area and this was one of the top ones. Reviews and ratings were high and convinced us to come! They even had cute cups... but really, they're just all cup. We got there pretty early since we had a big day ahead of us and wanted to grab something for our trip. I still needed my coffee for the morning and settled on some kind of salted caramel cold brew since they didn't have very many selections, coffee-wise, on the menu. My bf usually gets the Hokkaido milk tea but they only had some kind of blended one with taro? He asked the young lady working there and she said they could do it. He went for their large cup since it was just so "extra" and out of the norm. It's a very tall and slim cup that is way bigger than your average large. We sat down and waited for our drinks which came out in a few minutes. I snapped some pics in front of their cute little vine wall decor up front and then started drinking it. It tasted like it had gone bad? I don't even know how to describe it. It tasted like there was no coffee at all, pure sweetness, and just overall tasted off. I even ordered extra boba because that's how I like it. The boba had a nice texture, nothing crazy but that's about the only good thing about the drink. I ended up not even taking another sip and dumping it out. I bought an iced latte from another cafe and added the boba into it to try to salvage it. It wasn't perfect, still had that weird flavor lingering but at least I could have some boba in my drink. My bf drank a bit of his but even that was pure sweetness. No tea. It had NO TEA. I'm not sure what kind of brew they use for their drinks, we noticed some said dairy free and we avoided those specifically because we've had bad experiences from other places that offered that. Something just isn't right. Maybe that's how most boba places are around here and that's what everyone is used to? So sad!! Y'all need to get better boba places out here. We're from LA where there are a ton of different ones but they're good and at least drinkable. Sad to leave a 1 star on a boba place. I really wanted to find one out here that I would like so we can visit again next time.. but definitely not coming back to this spot. :( IG: @ammysalamii read more

i thought the boba was super good. it was very chewy and soft and delicious. but the milk tea had a weird flavor in the jamsine milk tea. i don't know why but i think it was the sweetener they used? more honey-ish flavor? idk. the service was very fast-it took like 2 minutes!! i liked the ambiance in there and there was lots of seating and fun games u could play such as monopoly and jenga. read more

Mrs. loved her tea from here. She loved it so much that we had to stop here twice during our stay! Thai Milk Tea ($4.55) is really good! Messy Creme Brulee ($5.25) was amazing.

I love this spot! I've been coming here ever since they opened. I always order either the taro mt, lemon lavender or strawberry matcha mt. It always tastes so good. Service is always great.

I loooove this place. We don't have many milk tea or boba places in the Valley so I love that I can go and that we now have two locations. The staff is always super friendly which I appreciate. They have great recommendations as well if you're not sure what to order. It's a nicely decorated place with about 4 tables to enjoy your beverage and they offer board games. I've been here several times and I'll keep going moving forward. read more

Pretty good place to get your boba fix, with lots of good flavors to choose from. I love the blended taro/hokkaido smoothie with boba. I also appreciate the fact that they can reduce the sugar level on your drink as well. Not totally diabetic friendly, but better to try one with less sugar than no drink at all. The vibe is casual, family friendly and good music usually. The staff always hustles to make your drinks fast, but it also slightly compromises the customer service, which is somewhat understandable, but that's the reason why I took away a star. But the overall experience is good. I think this is also in a pretty busy spot in Indio. When I go, it usually has a good crowd of people. And that usually means the business does well. read more

For the very few boba/tea shops in Palm Desert, this place isn't bad. The drinks are on the sweater side though so maybe ask for less sweet if you don't like things super sweet. My friend got the matcha latte and said it was good. I got the ice blended with mango and strawberry 50% sweet. It tasted a bit watery but I appreciate it wasn't overly sweet. The tea flavor was there too. I would say it's worth a stop by if you're in the area. It's located in a plaza with plenty of parking. read more

We had just finished a hike nearby and I wanted some boba afterwards. This place was pretty close, so we decided to check it out. The menu is huge and so overwhelming!! We finally chose our flavors for our slushes and got the passionfruit and guava, blueberry and lychee, and honeydew and lychee. I liked that there was a wide variety of flavors to choose from and that you can chose up to 2 different ones! Mine was the passionfruit and guava and it was delicious and so refreshing! I got the crystal boba and it had the perfect consistency. Not only did the drinks taste great, but they were colorful and pretty as well. They need to have another location in SD! read more

Best tea and boba in the desert! They have huge variety of drinks including two of my favorites: Thai tea with honey boba and citrus tea with fresh fruit swimming around in the cup. Yum!

I sure wish Montana had a place like this! We were looking for some tea while on a recent trip to Palm Desert, and we stumbled upon Tea Be Honest. The reviews were all pretty good and it was less than a mile from where we were, so we decided to stop. Both drinks we ordered were delicious! They even come in a cup that can be reused. Let's just say we brought them both back to Montana with us. All the items on the menu looked so good so it made it hard to choose. We will definitely be heading back here on our next trip to the desert. read more

Wide selection of teas and friendly staff. Their tapioca had great texture, not too hard or too soft, really some of the best I've had. I found the default level of sweetness to be a bit higher than I'm used to in the Hokkaido, it masked the flavor of the tea. It was still very enjoyable and I'll know next time to reduce the sugar level. read more
