    It's about fair
    Fox E.

    So I met a girl who was a teacher while in this Mall drinking bubble tea. So I tried making small talk, asking her "so where do you Teachat?" She didn't get it. So she didn't... get it. Of course I wanted to like this Bubble Tea Cafe and all of the other reviews suggest that it is awesome and wonderful and the service wasn't too bad but the tea itself was absolutely atrocious. Literally one of the worst bubble teas that I've had in a very long time and for that reason I have to give a low rating. I expect that bubble tea in malls will be bad, but I've been surprised in a positive way many times. This is actually even worse than I expected. Still every Mall should have a bubble tea stand or a bubble tea stall or a bubble tea window and this mall is extremely busy so I fully support the fact that it's in here and the mall is really busy so I think they do pretty well. I just hope the people drinking this bubble tea don't think that this is what bubble tea is. I accidentally wrote another review for the same place: I met a teacher on Tinder. I was like "yo where you Teach At." She thought I was inviting her to Tea Chat, and we ended up here. The rest is history. So I went all the way out to the mall in Okemos, and since Victoria's Secret was closed, this little Boba Shop was the only reason I was there. I mean just look at the other Yelp reviews. I know some of them might be fake but some of them really aren't and people are talking about this is if it's the best bubble tea they've ever had. Including people who've tried bubble tea in cities that actually have a lot of really good bubble tea. So I thought well, at the least it's going to be okay or mediocre. No. The girl was nice enough so I have no complaints about that. But firstly she was all out of Bubbles and said that she sold out. I'm sure she just dumped them out since there was only half an hour left but whatever. This stand is rarely so busy that they'd sell out of anything. That was a bad start, and of course as usual there was no discount given, nothing was really offered, I just paid the full price as if I was getting the bubbles in my drink. Awesome. Then I get my tiny tiny tiny little drink and I take a sip and I'm just like no. No no no. It doesn't taste like black milk tea, it tastes like chemicals, or iffy Jasmine green tea, or both. It just went straight in the trash. A couple of sips and boom... It's in the trash. Not one of my favourites and a total waste of money for me. What a long detour out to the mall just to find out how much I didn't like it.

    I got the large milk tea with Lychee jelly with 50% less sweet. In a normal world, this would been my go to order and I would have enjoyed it, BUT this drink was super super sweet!!! The lychee jelly they put in there was way too sweet, which then made the whole milk tea sweet! Whats the purpose of getting it 50% less sweet when it went the other direction and it was 50% more sweet??? Stick to the bubbles and bypass lychee jelly unless you love sweet stuff!

    Jasmine Milk Tea and Lychee Fusion.

    under 1 star. dont wanna be mean but honestly they don't know how to make milk teas. sweet and the texture is weird. the milk from the milk tea is..overly disgusting. the plastic that covers my drink were not put on properly made me spilled it all over. And we ordered tea chat milk GREEN tea, they told us its the same as Jasmine . Lol no its not. Save some money and go somewhere else.

    This is the best bubble tea place in the Lansing area. Flavors are better, choices are better.

    Logistics. In shopping plaza, just east of Marsh Road along northside of Central Park Dr,…read moreconnecting to Time Square Drive, in Okemos. Vibe and First Impressions. Galley-like set up as you walk in. Breakfast diner vibes more than 'cafe and bakery'. Kitchen to your left as you walk down short corridor into cafe. Sloth-like chill attitude encouraged; the hashtag is #letshangtogether. Had fun looking at all the little sloth decor throughout. Lots of light and glass. VERY limited seating; seats about 15 (?) inside; mostly 2 tops and a 6 top. When we walked in, we were greeted warmly, permitted to sit where ever we would like, then handed menus. Turkish music playing was just a bit too loud. Hospitality. Friendly and helpful. Owner-chef seemed very happy to be there, singing and engaging with his regulars. Offerings. Basic breakfast and lunch items with Turkish and Mediterranean classics. No flavored lattes but other basic espresso drinks offered. Chai was excellent. Had the Turkish coffee because it was a Turkish joint; was REALLY good; strong. We had the Simit Platter; sesame-like NY bagel, feta chunks, and olives. All very good. See pics. Apparently they offer cooking classes, catering, and meal prep pick-up -- for ever-changing healthier, fresh, easy-prep take-out options. Of Note and Last Impressions. Lot parking. Overall, fun.

It was tasty and even better with the bread they provided. It could've been packaged in a better way because the oil dripped out everywhere by the time we got it home. Maybe a plastic container with a tight fitting lid. The mezze platter was also quite nice, especially the carrot appetizer. The bulgur patties were also flavorful. The artichoke was slightly disappointing because it didn't have any other flavor than salt and vinegar, similar to canned/bottled artichokes. The salad was fresh and the dressing was light. Overall, this was a light and tasty lunch.
