Pretty solid boba tea spot that is right across the street from UF campus. If you didn't know, you would never have imagined a boba shop tucked all the way in the back of this mixed apartment and retail building. But here it is lol. Friendly and efficient, you can grab a drink and run off to class real quick. They have lots of options to choose from and the drinks are executed well. The only downside is that this place is not the best at having a group of people and chilling here since seats are limited. But besides that, solid place :) read more

Tea Moment - Solid Passion Fruit Green Tea :) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

This is definitely my favorite boba spot in town! The atmosphere is pretty nice, as it's in a little shopping center with some other restaurants and has lots of seating. The service is always pretty quick and they are very helpful. I typically get iced taro milk tea with strawberry popping boba, but I got a taro slush this time and it was amazing as well! read more

Tea Moment - Taro slush - Bubble Tea Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

My friends always rave about Tea Moment so I was super excited to give it a try. You have to find street parking and the store is in a small food hall alongside other small restaurants. The owner was super friendly and I loved supporting this small business. I got their special dessert - not sure of the name but it was a milk dessert with ice, boba, grass jelly, red bean, sweet taro balls and more. It was sweet, milky, refreshing, and so delicious. My friends all come here for their rice rolls. The beef rice roll is so yummy! Filled with meat, lettuce, fried crispy dough, egg custard, and more. It is full of flavors, textures, and is truly a one of a kind snack. Please come support this small business as they make great food with great service! read more

When I saw Tea Moment on Yelp, I had a to do a double-take. What?!?! This drink stall looks just like a stall you would see in Taipei City. Except this teahouse is in the coolest hidden food court (food alley) in Gainesville. They serve up amazingly authentic Taiwanese style bubble teas, as well as a few snacks that I have not seen in Florida before: 1. Hai Tai Fun Tuan- This is a savory burrito-sized roll consisting of black sticky rice wrapped in seaweed. The inside has savory fillings of your choice, which as; tea egg, lettuce, mayo, crab meat, braised beef, crispy doughnut, and more. It is called on their menu "Unique Rice Roll." What this roll reveals to me is that they have traditional tea eggs. I will ask for a special favor to buy one in the future, because I love tea eggs (lou dan). 2. Shao Xian Cao- This is a cold, sweet dessert soup. The base is black sweet milk tea containing a mix of; azuki bean, grass jelly, black tapioca, taro tapioca, pumpkin tapioca, and peanut. I would actually prefer for this dish to be served in a large cup instead of a bowl, but it is traditionally served in a bowl. read more

Boba tea anyone? From Teas and Lattes, to Smoothies and... well, more tea, Tea Moment has you covered! With an extensive variety of drinks available, there really seems to be something for everybody. Whether you prefer a Matcha tea or maybe even a fruit tea, I love that you can customize it by sweetness! You can also add in things like boba, Grass Jelly, Lychee and more! I'm no pro on milk teas and the other varieties, but having the ability to customize your drink is a plus for me. I've visited Tea Moment a few times now and I feel like each visit has been a win! I haven't tried their food just yet, but it's definitely on my list! read more

Tea Moment is convenient to get boba while being walking-distance to campus. The service is quick and the quality of tea is good with a variety of options for different preferences. I would say that the boba isn't anything out of the ordinary or spectacular, but it was a good, solid choice for boba. My go-to flavors are oolong milk tea and thai milk tea both with boba or with grass/herbal jelly. read more

WHAT! My fave Boba shop in Gainesville, and that's actually a tough call because there are 3 or 4 really good ones such as Pokebowl Station (right next door) and J-Petal and TeaStori among others! I like this one even more because my new friends run this place! The milk tea milk cap is yummy, the boba is good, and the store is decorated thoroughly adorably with cat pix. I wish hard for it to be a huge success, I wish that it does so well, but needs your help, because it's tucked away in a little college mall off the main street and not as busy as some of the other boba shops... despite tasting better, and having better service, than all of them. As I said, it's kind of hidden away in a little shopping mall off the main strip, and even though the mall gets a decent amount of traffic, this Poke shop seems to get kind of left behind. But it's actually some of the best tea and the most authentic fresh-brewed tea in the town, and for this reason you absolutely need to come and try it - and not to mention the fact that these are some of the friendliest people running any boba shop anywhere, let alone in Florida which is not always a state with friendly Bobapeople, as I've found out. Easily one of the top 10 Boba shops in Florida, and you must try it when you are in Gainesville, and it's worth boba lovers swinging by Gainesville because 3 or 4 of the best 10 boba shops in the state are probably located here. And if the actual lifting in the gym doesn't make you feel good... your Gainswill. Anyway, the Tea Moment for this review has passed, but I'm glad I was able to mark the Tea Moment by writing it, and I hope it helps to give this shop some Tea Momentum. read more

Tea Moment - Yumminess! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

The service is super quick (10-15mins) even when they're somewhat busy. There's a lot of options like most boba places. However, they do offer some food items as well (dumplings-- steamed or fried & rice roll) besides the teas and deserts. The teas are pretty good, no complaints. The dumplings are very good too. My favorite way is to have them pan-fried. Ambience is okay, it's at the end of a little outlet with other restaurants and business. There are tables outside the store in the corridor but it can be kind of hard to hear if there's a lot of people bc it echos a bit and the tables and chairs are metal so they screech really loud when people move them. read more

Tucked away at the end of a food court hallway is this place that everyone needs to try! A+++ in taste, texture, and service of preparing of this drink! I got the Blue Sky Milk Tea with black tapioca boba. This boba is one of the best in town and I typically don't even get black boba because of how many times I was disappointed in other boba shops. This place exceeded my expectations. First time trying and I'll definitely stop by again. My partner, Guy, really liked it too and he's a very pick boba drinker. They made my drink in less than 5 minutes, super speedy! I highly recommend ! (The drink was so good that I couldn't stop drinking until half of it was gone. Finally, I took a break and snapped a shot of this drink ) It's so good that my fiance and I were fighting for the last sips haha! read more

Tea Moment - Radish burrito - Bubble Tea Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

We continued our search for good bubble tea in the Gainesville area. We got a large jasmine milk tea, less ice, 30% sugar, taro milk tea with 30% sugar, less ice, and a beef roll. The milk tea was fine, I still didn't get much tea flavor. Maybe I need to get the black tea to taste more tea. Hubby liked the taro milk tea, he felt like he could really taste the taro flavor in it. I thought it was rather subtle. Beef roll was okay, probably wouldn't order it again. Seems like there is more rice than filling in it, didn't like the crunchy fried dough in it. read more

I wasn't expecting to get a boba milk tea after my delicious banh mi at a nearby Vietnamese joint, but I ended up getting a $3.50 milk tea that comes with boba already. It's a great after-meal drink because it wasn't that sweet and they give you a lot of boba as well. The boba also has flavor and it perfectly fits with the milk tea. Overall score: Drink taste - 5/5 Boba amount - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Price - 5/5 Atmosphere - 5/5 Edit: I also got a large taro slush with boba and honestly it's one of the few boba places in Gainesville that truly knows how to make taro flavored tea/slush. read more

Tea Moment - Large Taro Slush with Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I loved their drinks. I ordered their Boba Milk tea with cap and passion fruit green tea with aloe in it. Milk tea with cap was a little on the sweeter side but u can also adjust your sweetness to ur liking. Passion fruit green tea was very refreshing. It had a very earthy and cooling effect while drinking it which is perfect for this piping hot summer. Update: I ordered a Coffee boba with Milk cap and a beet roll. The best decision I have ever made. As a coffee lover myself, this drink as just right for me. The creamy and salty layer on the top blends so well with the coffee on the bottom. For the beed roll, I was kinda disappointed when I saw the small beef roll. However, when I took the first bite mannn..I was in Cloud 9. Its was so filling. There was a party in my mouth. The beef roll had egg, lettuce, something crunchy [no idea what this was], rice, sauce etc. Love love their menu. The place is situated inside a building near the parking sign and it is pretty hard to find if u are a new customer. read more

My favorite boba place in Gainesville. The tapioca pearls are always the same consistency every time I have ordered: chewy and sweet. I have found that other boba places around Gainesville have inconsistent pearl texture. My go-to drink is a peach green tea, extra sweet with boba. Many of the other drinks I've tried are fantastic as well. I think this may be the only place in Gainesville that sells rice rolls (I haven't found any other places that do). The krab rice roll is very tasty and savory. Parking is the only reason why I don't visit this place more frequently. Most of the parking spots require a decal Monday-Friday 8am-4pm. There are a couple of metered parking, but are often taken up when I visit. There is also a parking garage next door to the building but the fee is not worth it in my opinion. You are better off finding parking during the weekend morning/afternoon. read more

I really enjoy getting boba here. I've been here a few times and i've had a pleasant experience every time. I like that it's near campus(perfect location) and I could just get boba after class. I've tried a different drink each time and they all taste so good and fresh! read more

I love stopping by Tea Moment on my way back from lunch, it's quick, convenient, and very tasty! My coworkers and I often pop by The Spot or Vietnamese Grille for lunch and every once in a while we will stop into Tea Moment for dessert. The menu is awesome because there's so much more than bubble tea, but that's what I usually get. There are quite a few flavors and add-ins to choose from, and the pricing is very fair for the size of the drink you get. The only downside is that there really isn't much seating available, so it's not the best place to sit and chat with a friend, but if you're on the run this is the spot! I highly recommend the Oreo milk tea- a perfect sweet treat! read more

Tea Moment has absolutely every kind of tea you can think of and the quality is next level! The presentation of the drinks is always beautiful and the ingredients are very fresh.

I got the Iced Matcha Latte which was quite tasty. The large size is a very big portion but the medium size is very small (just a heads up). The matcha was sweetened well and was creamy and nice. Fair warning! It is pricy for what you are getting. Very pricy. The location is not great. It is hard to find parking and you will most likely have to pay to park unless you have a decal to parallel park. read more

Whenever I'm hungry for a little snack, the rice roll is what I always order when I'm around mid town. There are many choices and they all taste delicious and is just the right size. Keep in mind though, they have the tendency to deconstruct when you are about half way through. It's honesty quiet annoying, but the flavor makes me forgive them every time. Nothing really special about milk tea or other tea in my opinion. There are too many milk tea places in town suddenly, making me losing my interest. read more

Came here in a hot day and ordered a milk tea slush (boba) and a passion fruit mango slush. This is my first time trying a slush and I had a good time. They were both not too sweet at 50% sugar and they were refreshing. It can come with boba too which I did for the milk tea. read more

Tea Moment - Left: Passion Fruit Mango Slush Right: milk tea slush (boba) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

A solid option for boba near campus! Tucked away inside a building with other shops/restaurants, it's not the easiest to find, but worth the venture. The boba is a little chewier (less soft?) than kung fu tea, but not hard enough that there's no bounce to it. I actually enjoyed the texture and the fact that it didn't dissolve in my mouth. I got the black tea with milk cap. The tea itself was good, no complaints. Didn't know what a milk cap really was but I'm glad I decided to go for it! It was almost whipped cream-like in consistency, and it kind of had a sea salt caramel kind of salty, creamy flavor. I really enjoyed it! You can adjust ice and sweetness levels. Service was fast--there wasn't anyone in front of my group, but the people that came after us got their drinks quickly, too. Will definitely be back! read more

Brown sugar boba with brûlée is amazing. The price is very cheap considering they have boba AND a topping added

This place is so cute, not much seating area, but many drink options are available. They have everything from milk tea to smoothies to slushies and many add in options like boba, popping bubbles, etc. I love that you can adjust the sweetness level of your drink and the employees are really sweet. My particular drink had no sugar added and was delicious. It was the lovely green smoothie, part of their entire section of smoothies with blended greens. The employee that took my order and made my drink was extremely sweet and told me the drink I ordered was their favorite drink. My drink came out with a little heart on it-- how cute is that!!! If you love bubble tea and smoothies, you should check this place out-- it's awesome! read more

I ordered a taro milk tea and it was nothing special... just ok. Kind of disappointed because ive been going to kung fu tea to get boba and was expecting a similar quality but this is definitely not as good. The boba is not as chewy and tastes very watered down.

Yesterday a coworker and I had lunch at Sushi Chao and when we were finished she asked if I would want to go to Tea Moment as well and get a boba tea since we still had half our lunch break. I decided to go with her but really want not expecting to get anything. I love that on 34th Ave right across from campus is a little food hall that has tons of different foods. Inside you got The Spot, Vietnamese Grill, a Coffee and Sandwich shop, and now Tea Moment and a french fry place is opening soon. We went into Tea Moment and I decided I would get a large Taro boba tea and my Coworker got a large caramel milk boba tea. The Taro boba was really good and it had a ton of pearls in it. The flavor was on point and tasted so darn good!! I even finished the tea and still had a lot of pearls at the bottom of the cup! The price was super cheap. I think it was like $5.50 for a large. I would for sure recommend this place. This spot in the food hall has not had a lot of success, but I really hope Tea Moment sticks! read more
