Purple rice drink
Vi N.

I've been here years ago & used to really enjoy this place. I returned today after years & there were about 2 people ahead of me. Ordering was on the kiosk. I waited a little over 15mins for my single drink. I ordered the purple rice. It was solid in the yogurt taste but it has zero sweetness to it. It just tasted slightly tart and the little sweetness from the boba. I don't know if the person forgot to add sugar or if it's just like this. I took a few more sips and tasted a hard piece in my mouth (it looks like the metal scrub for washing dishes) but I was already on the road heading home. Very disappointing visit because I went out of my way to get a purple rice drink today since I was craving it & I experienced that.

Located next to Bai Tong Thai restaurant. Was waiting for our food so dropped by Tea Time for some milk tea. Has a variety of drinks for those that want caffeine and also drinks / smoothies that are caffeine free. It's a tea shop but they also serve coffee (Durian Coffee as well). I ordered the standard milk tea at 50% sweet and thought it was perfect. Not too sweet but enjoyable and can taste the tea. Would come back again and great spot for an after dinner drink.

Hokkaido milk tea with boba - IG @bougiefoodieboi

One of the better valued boba spots in the area. I went here to try the Hokkaido milk tea with boba (it comes with boba in the price which is nice). The amount of liquid in the drink is a fairly good amount, and there is a generous amount of boba. For the tea itself, it could be more fragrant and the boba is okay - it has chewy texture but a bit slimy comparatively. There is a good amount of seating and board games, which makes this a nice third place or social hangout area.

My second time coming around, didn't get to leave a review last time. After getting dinner next door we wanted boba, and instead of driving to another spot we just decided on convenience and went into Tea Time. I got their green thai tea with boba, a flavour that I don't commonly see in other boba shops. It was good but a little too sweet for me, so I'll have to remember to reduce the sugar next time since I usually do regular sugar the first few times to determine how sweet the place's drinks are. Other than that, flavour is good and I believe my partner said her drink was satisfactory as well. This visit was better than the last time, but honestly with the amount of boba spots in the area, I do think there are much better options to go for. But if you're in this specific plaza then it'll do.

Nice location and there's plenty of parking. It's to the right of YGF Malatang restaurant. I like that it's decorated with cute chairs and wall decor for IG worthy pics. They don't have a lot of tables and chairs so there's not a lot of space if you're going with a large group. But small groups around 3-4 ppl is fine. They have some board games like Jenga, Life, deck of cards, etc for you to play. There's a self-order kiosk but I think you can also order by person as well. There are so many drink options that I was overwhelmed on which ones to choose from lol. Drinks are made pretty quick even though there was only one guy working at the time. I ended up ordering their Ube milk tea which is one of their top drinks. Highly recommend! Tastes very similar to Happy Lemon's milk tea but with Ube cold foam. I also like that they use non-dairy creamer for some of their drinks. The boba pearls were cooked just right and not too soft in my opinion, but my friends thought it was overcooked for their drinks. The avocado durian smoothie flavor was underwhelming and not very sweet. They don't have public restroom btw!

Very good place to jave boba drinks and macrons. I tried here ube latte and it was too good also coconut fresh matcha was good. Ambience was very beautiful and the service was really great service and ambience was really great

Comfortable atmosphere! Tasty taro milk tea and the lavender milk tea is refreshing. Polite customer service as well, very patient.

Great Decor

I ordered three different Teas. The restaurant was very clean. Great ambiance. Customer Service was served with a genuine smile. One thing I could suggest is that they offer better to go bags and cup holders, if it wasn't for the way they secure the top all three of my drinks would have spilled.

OOLONG MILK TEA (+ black pearls, egg pudding, lychee gelly) & OREO MILK TEA (Oreo Crumbs, Boba, Foam)

We decided to check this place out since the malatang place right next was our fav spot! They have lots of menu and the staffs were so sweet! I would def love to visit here next time ;)

Milk tea puff cream (black boba + puff cream) I added popping boba (strawberry) regular sugar, creme brulee cream and less ice.
Vitalia G.

The food/bakery was wonderful! It was fresh and tasted amazing. The service was great. They were nice and respectful the whoke time. The ambiance was nice and calming. Good enough for a break or to work for a bit.

So good milk tea and nice place to enjoy

Ask the Community - Tea Time & Coffee

Is there dairy creamer in the milk tea drinks?

Hi, there’s no dairy in our milk tea drinks except dairy foam on some of the drinks. Thanks

Is there WiFi and space to work remotely?

There's WiFi and some space but the place itself only has a few seats. I wouldn't recommend it.

How does the $1 discount work for when you bring the bottle back? They put your drink in the bottle you brought and it's all good? Also, does it have to be a Tea Time bottle?

They re-use the bottle and yes, it does need to be the Tea Time bottle.

Do you pay extra for glass bottle?

Yes. When I went, a small bottle was $1 and a large bottle was $1.59.

I'm too lazy to pull out Google Maps, what part of Southcenter is this located at, is it in the mall or...?

Thao, it's in the same complex as Bai Tong/Jared. There's also a new chinese restaurant that opened in that complex!

This is inside the mall. I have been curious about it since I noticed it pop up across from…read moreJollibee. Some pros: huge menu including those fun and yummy bubble donut thingees, which come out piping hot. Some cons: untidy dining area and lackadaisical staff. I often wonder, tho, if the staff at some places just treat people differently if, like me, they are a bit clueless about bubble tea lol. Grace for the dirty dining area would be that the staff was all by themselves and probably with steady customers to prepare orders for. Would be hard to get out front. Ordered the green tea lychee w/ boba and the "exfreeze" coconut milk w/ coffee. Both were tasty and hit the spot on a hot day.

This place isn't as great as I remembered it to be back then…read more.. I went here with my mom on a Sunday afternoon while shopping in Southcenter and decided to get some of their drinks to go with our tater tots we got from nearby Undercover Fries (which I'm not sure if they have a Yelp page). Ambience is very casual, with plenty of seating. Nothing to say of service since I only ordered at the kiosk closest to the entrance. I got their passion fruit & lemon green tea, and my mom got their peach green tea, both at 70% sweetness and ice levels. We both ended up tossing our drinks after having about half of it for similar reasons, the biggest one being that the drinks didn't taste at all fresh. They were also watered down to the point where we weren't sure if we got 70% sugar as I saw on the kiosk or 25% sugar. I've been here several times before and have tried their bubble waffles and other milk tea drinks, so this review on its own isn't an accurate representation of my experiences overall. But for this one visit, I wanted to get the mango desserts from Hui Lau Shan again at Southcenter... those who know what this place used to be will know what I mean.

Boba bobaboba It was…read moreonce my favorite boba place in the mall, but became one of the many typical boba places everywhere. Although their peach smoothie is better than the milky boba. Back then I would have rated it between 3 1/2 to 4 because the taste was great. Now it's just plain, watered down and pricey. The way they made the Thai tea milky boba that my cousin ordered was not good at all. She made me taste it and we agreed on a lot of things. For $6.59 we are expecting the price will match the taste. One thing for sure is that it tasted like plain water with just added milk. She went ahead and asked if there is anything they can do to make it taste less watery. What they did is just added more milk which just change the color lighter and still taste like water with milk mixed together (Thai tea taste is no longer there). The avocado smoothie was also disappointing because it doesn't even taste like how avocado smoothie should taste like (again taste like watered down drink) :( . I don't know if they are just not adding enough ingredients or they just don't know what it really taste like. The pearls was also hard like it was not made fresh the same day. It taste as if you just put it in the refrigerator for many days and kept reusing. Unlike other location they make their boba every four hour or so to have the fresh consistency. Also , when my cousin and aunty approached them about the issue. They didn't even tell them to remake it or anything it's more of a FYI letting them know that this is what's going on and shared their experience about the drink. They just wanted to make sure , the next customer will have a better experience. The worker or probably the owner just said that's just how the boba should be because it was shaken together with the cold drink. . I know for sure that the pearl/boba doesn't suddenly turn hard rock because it was mixed in with the cold drink. We have made them fresh at home before and they are suppose to be soft and chewy , not hard and disgusting when eating it . I'm afraid they have lost not just one loyal custome, but a lot more .

Very delicious and good service. I bought strawberry banana and coconut pineapple smoothies. my…read morewife and I love them
