Tea Cup is one of my go to spots when I'm craving a classic milk tea. The establishment has fairly limited seating but it is usually not too busy when I go so if you prefer a quieter place to talk or study this could be a potential spot for you. You will need to ask for a bathroom code though. The service is good with drinks being made fairly quickly after ordering. read more

Always gives the best drinks. Never had one that was not good. Recommend and the customer service is always great!

Love boba tea and since we have moved away from our all time favorite spot we've been looking for a replacement fav. Tea cup was cute but the drinks were overly sweet and it was also really expensive, 2 drinks were almost $14. We will keep searching for a new go to boba spot read more

Asked for no ice and I received this, no wonder why this place has almost no biz. I understand that some owners don't like it when people asked for no ice cuz they might have to pour more tea than usual but you can tell me ahead and charge a little more, I wouldn't care but she took the order and threw this on the counter without any respect. I would give this place zero star if I had the button read more

This has been my spot to go for boba in Arlington for the past 8 years! They make the jasmine milk tea perfectly to my taste. It's not overly sweet and it's one of the only places that I have not had a drink with powdered residue. They also have funnel cakes, I have not tried them yet though. read more

Tea Cup - Càfe sữa đá (viet coffee) and jasmine milk tea with boba and egg pudding. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Texas

This is my favorite place to get boba! I always get the Thai Milk tea but they have a ton of different choices and combinations.

The BEST boba place I've ever had! The owner was extremely friendly and their menu had so many options compared to places I've seen. It was hard to choose what I wanted, but my favorite has to be the wintermelon milk tea. The interior of the store is also super cute and clean! read more

Great customer service but very expensive extra pops/ jelly is .80cents. I end up spending over $7 for a single drink that's really really expensive compared to other places. Just wanted to try them out but you can get a boba anywhere cheaper and all the places I've been to over the years taste just as good if not better than tea cup. read more

*Drinks are bad : 1/5 *Boring boba place, no one even stayed here more than five minutes : 3/5 *Customer service were not so friendly, not a single smile when taking order : 2/5 Yucky boba tea! Ew!! Wasted my money and totally ruin my taste bud. I had a strawberry banana smoothie with mostly syrup, old frozen fruit taste and powder with tons of ice. My buddy got a regular milk tea and seriously just tasted like creamer which is what they actually used in their drink when I asked what they put in it. Hard boba was probably the worst thing here. Also they charge so much for extras because what kind of boba place charge $1 to fill up the cup when you don't want any ice in your milk tea??? Seriously guys please stay away from this place. I had to use the bathroom soon after but maybe I might have a sensitive stomach but would you really want to risk yours? read more

Delicious bubble teas and smoothies!!! Great prices too. I bring family here anytime they come in if we want a sweet treat.

Pretty big menu, but don't get too excited. "Ooohh I want an almond milk green tea." "Um, yeah.. we don't have that." "But it's right there!" "Yeeeaahhh. Um. It like, needs to be updated. A lot of it needs to be updated." Thanks teens. PS: Came in another day with my daughter. One of the older kids behind the counter said there's an off-menu kid's menu: Bubblegum, cotton candy, and orange blast. It rings up as a smoothie. The cashier didn't know though, so it's not common knowledge. read more

Very disappointed in today's visit at Teacup. I used to come here all the time and order a Vietnamese coffee with medium ice. Usually, my coffee is filled all the way up and today, that was not the case. My drink was filled half way up. And when I mentioned it to the lady who made my drink, she said it would be another $3 to have it filled all the way. Which didn't make any sense to me since I paid for a full drink and not a half ass drink. The price increased. Which I understand and don't mind paying for the full price. But what I don't understand is paying for a drink full price and getting half of what I paid for. $8 for a Vietnamese coffee is crazy to me. On their little sticky note, it said $3 for refills and I wasn't trying to get a refill, just what I paid for. read more

Tea Cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Was leaving the Chase bank across the street when I saw this place so I decided to give it a try. I ordered an ice coffee and it was amazing!! I love Vietnamese ice coffee and Tea Cup didn't disappoint. The coffee flavor was fresh and not stale as I have experienced at some stores. Staff was super friendly. Definitely will be back as I have found my "after the bank" spot lol. read more

super yum yum . best boba place ive been to. they have a very friendly environment. definitely will come back.

The boba here is made with syrups and artificial ingredients, I'm almost 100% sure. I came to this conclusion because of the taste, the lack of visible fruit on the counters, the line of syrup bottles in view and the missing aroma of delicious fruit one typically encounters at boba establishments. I am all for supporting local businesses and they are my preferred food destination. I don't know if this is a local business but I assume that it is so forgive me if I am incorrect. There are plenty of people on here thought that had no issue with their boba but if you like yours fresh I don't recommend it. If you aren't as "particular" about your boba which is fine also then it may be a good option for you. read more

I got a thai tea and I said no ice and I saw that one of the guys took ice out since I said no ice and he didn't fix it ay all he just left it half way. read more

YUM! Their smoothies are the absolute best in Arlington where boba shops are very competitive. They use real fruits for the smoothies and it has such a smooth texture with no ice chunks. My favorite drink is the avocado durian smoothie and all the drinks are perfectly sweet. It truly satisfies my cravings for boba. read more

Tea Cup - Honeydew Smoothie, Mango Smoothie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Texas

This is a really nice place to get some boba tea. I usually get the almond milk tea or the vanilla milk tea. On certain occasions I'll get one of the smoothies. I've only ever had to wait in line on like a Saturday night, but any other day I've never had a long wait or to wait in line. It seems that they renovated on occasion and sometimes change the menu, but overall this is a nice clean place to get your fix of boba tea. read more

I love this place. Their avocado smoothie, peace green tea, passion fruit green tea, and milk tea are all delicious. The service is always great because my cousins and I always come in with a mass order and they always provide!! read more

i was in the area and in the mood for some boba! i stopped in at about 1030am-vey glad that they were open so early. a lot of the other places opened at 11a/noonish. the place was really clean, although somewhat dark because the walls are a midnight blue. when i looked in, i wasn't sure if they were open for business. i definitely knew what i wanted. they have a very large menu, but i needed some hazelnut cappuccino with boba in my life. the drink was made quickly and was exactly what i expected! i would definitely visit again if in the area. they have a sign up asking that photos not be taken in the shop. i took a picture of it. hahah! also, the sign mentions no credit card transactions under $5, and mine was $4.71, so i don't know how strict they are at enforcing the posted policies. read more

I like their boba milk tea but do not ask for no ice because you'll get half the cup filled legit.. They have a buy 5 get 1 free discount though, which is fantastic with big groups or if you're in a boba craze mood. read more

I've been here a few times and content each time. My first time here they made sure I liked my drink and re-made/fixed my drink to my liking. Which was nice of them and whenever I'm on this side of town for church. I'm sure to stop by for boba. I also like the fact that I never have to wait because there's never a line. read more

Tea Cup - Strawberry avocado with boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Texas

this is my first time here and i'm satisfied with their service & quality of drink(s)! when i entered, the employee greeted me - i appreciate those who actually acknowledge the customer. i got myself a cookies n' creme smoothie with boba. it totaled up to be $6.50 which actually shocked me. i've rarely had to pay this much for a drink with boba. this was just a basic cookies n' creme smoothie, so i'm not sure why it was so pricey. if they had whipped cream & mocha drizzle to top the smoothie off, maybe it'd be worth $6.50? i've been to other shops that serve the same flavor and the drink would be $5, just not over $6. this is the only reason i'm giving 4 stars. besides the price, the smoothie was very good. it had the perfect sweetness level and they weren't greedy with their boba!! they even topped the smoothie off with some cookie crumbles. i'll definitely be here again to try their milk teas! :) read more

My SO and I came in to get boba tea around 5pm on a Thursday. There were several customers sitting around. We walked to the front and the boba barista asked us if we were ready. We said no, they didn't ask or suggest anything. We finally ordered thai tea and passion fruit slushie with boba. They make your drinks fast. We loved our drinks! The boba tasted good. The place is clean! My only complaint is the menu. read more

Not a fan. The milk in the tea tasted like sweetened condensed milk. The condensed milk with the overly sweet black tea was bad. The boba were ok but was only able to drink half of the tea before my stomach started to churn. Way too much sugar and that milk was just plain nasty. If you have a sensitive stomach when it comes to too much sugar and sweetened condensed milk your best bet is to avoid it. On the other hand, if you're a sugar junkie with an iron clad stomach you'll probably love it. read more

Tea Cup is one of those place where people go to, just because it has been around before other boba places. It's like, the OG of boba in Arlington. Upon my first visit in Tea Cup, I got the Almond Cream Tea with boba. This is basically like milk tea in other boba places, except slightly thicker in consistency. It's not very noticeable unless you're meticulous like I am. The almond flavor was extremely strong and the drink altogether is too sweet for my preference. Their boba however, was not bad. It was nicely chewy, like boba should be. There's not much of a special flavor to the boba, like sweetened with honey or anything, so it's basically just average. I was not very impressed by first impression and it took quite a few months for me to return and gave Tea Cup another chance. This time, I got the avacado smoothie. My boba barista ( is this the right term? xD ), was a an long term worker of Tea Cup and made my smoothie. Just beware that new interns can make the drinks slightly off as they are inexperienced. My avacado smoothie was nicely sweetened, and not at all overbearing. There was enough avacados to make consistency slightly creamy and not icy. It was good, compared to a few other avacado smoothies I've had at other places, as some restaurants and drink shops can be stingy on the avacado. Overall, I feel like Tea Cup is not the best of the best, but its a more affordable option and as long as you're going for an avacado smoothie or Vietnamese coffee, you should be fine. read more

Not bad. I really like this place but I can't give it a perfect score because it's not the most consistent place. The drinks taste great but their boba can be a hit or miss. The last time I got it, my bobas were really hard. :( Their green tea lychee is great and they have so many types of jellies that you can add into your drinks. I suggest getting their jasmine milk tea or any of their green teas. Credit cards for $5+ purchases read more

After having resorting to Bethany's for the past couple of months, my friends have finally decided to take me here and I'm kind of mad at them for not showing me sooner! I like this cream tea much much better bc Bethany's milk tea has been starting to give me upset stomachs and itchiness. It tastes similar to I Heart Boba's. Now I don't have to go through a 45 minute drive! I'm guessing today's batch of boba wasn't as bad as how the other reviews have said. It was pretty decent. A lot of variety... And There's a sitting area and wifi, but for customers only! read more

A lot of my friends love Tea Cup, but I think they're just okay. I come here only when they want to go. I've had better in Houston and as far as the Arlington vicinity goes, I prefer Bambu's drinks. I really like Tea Cup's mocha ice cream coffee without the boba, though. I'm not really a boba person. This drink is more pricey than their other selections btw. There are other drink toppings that you can get such as poppers, coffee jelly, grass jelly, fruit jelly, egg pudding, etc which I think is nice. There are also desserts like snow cones and snowflak. Their Jasmine milk tea is another one that I tend to order. Taro isn't that great here; you should go to Pho 95 for a taro boba and the vanilla green milk tea is way too sweet. I have a sweet tooth, but that's full of sugar made into a drinkable form and I think I'll pass on that one. It's my boyfriend's favorite drink though. Not mine for sure. I don't like the smell of this place, either. I believe it's the condensed milk ingredient that they blend which makes this odor. The very first time I came here, I wanted to leave and not order drinks, but it's fine. The place's aroma wasn't reflected in their drink blending. The Asian girls that work here are alright. Some will smile and are quite cute, others will just take your order. I like how we get to pick the color of our fat straws. I dislike the color yellow, ha. But yeah. 3/5 overall. read more

Tea Cup - Mocha Ice Cream Coffee no boba! :D - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I remember when this place use to be Movie & Tea.... Well the milk tea Gods are probably still with this location, because this place has the best boba in town! Although Arlington has a lot of boba joints, Tea Cup has the creamiest milk tea with the softest boba, next to Orchid. On weekends it seems as though they premake it, which makes it a little more watered down, however, on days where it is made to order -- it's perfect!! The cups here are one size and they are roughly $4 a drink, including boba. They also have popping boba, various jellies, pudding, and other toppings as well. Other drinks worth mentioning are the mango and taro smoothies. The mango is very sweet and tart, and the taro even has taro ice cream in it! Restrooms are clean, and service is helpful... Except when it comes to actually recommending a drink. Seems like they haven't tried the whole menu yet or they're scared they'll lose a customers referring to a wrong drink. Nevertheless, great tea! read more

Great boba! I go to all the hole in the wall places. The employees had a small and seemed happy to work there. The furniture was old and funny in a good way. Darn Sprint service was terrible there but that wasn't their fault. Boba was interesting in that the pearls were smaller than other place but not as small as the small ones I've had at other places. Very clean place. Will be back! read more

My lovely girlfriend and I decided to visit Tea Cup after a long day's work. As we walked inside, we were immediately greeted not by the staff but by the loud obnoxious music. Now music goes a long way when it comes to any sitting and this music choice was all but subpar. Their menu was a bit hard to read and of course, with a myriad of drinks and flavors to choose from, we felt a bit pressured and rushed to put in our order. Other than that, our drinks came out just fine. read more

Ordered three drinks: Honeydew milk tea, Thai tea, and Milk Tea. Honeydew milk tea was very creamy and delicious! Thai tea was a bit too concentrated, but good as well. Milk tea was the most disappointing drink! More than half of my cup was filled with ice. I am very disappointed about how they can serve ice and charge the full price of a regular cup. If they had the courtesy to serve a well balanced ratio of ice to tea content, then perhaps they will have a better business with their customers. I did not come here to drink watered down tea and harden tapioca because of the overload of ice in my drink. read more

It was time for me to head to the airport but after doing my rounds of going to Ba Le and stocking up Banh mi fixings, I was very thirsty on a HOT day in Texas. The gentleman at the counter was very helpful on checking on the nutrition facts label on flavored syrups for me. It was very nice of him and great customer service that he took his time and read me every label! I cant remember what I ordered but it was peach tea with bubbles! Very satisfying on a very hot day! read more
