Tried these three items: Mung Bean Milk Slushie - pretty good, but can taste a little chunky. If you've had mung bean before, you'll probably know what I mean. Signature Alpine Green Tea - one of the Top 10 drinks listed at Tea Top. While it tastes good, I would best describe it as a cold green tea with some sugar to sweeten the taste. Probably wouldn't be in my Top 10. Strawberry and Mango Slush - Kids continue to love this flavor for good reason read more

Located right next to H-Mart, this boba shop is conveniently placed and often busy. However, the countless number of cafes/boba shops in the area provides sufficient competition -- Meet Fresh is next door and also serves desserts and drinks. Due to the pandemic, there is no dine-in; you order at the front and leave when they call your drink order. The drinks average around $5 - $7 with the option to customize the sweetness and ice level, but there is only one size. I ordered their Earl Grey Milk Tea with 3 Toppings, which is noted on their menu as a signature drink. The employee recommend customizing my drink to half sweetness since the toppings add flavor. To my surprise, the three toppings provided were boba, lychee jelly, and grass jelly -- other shops give custard/pudding instead of lychee jelly. My drink was enjoyable, but I did wish that the earl grey fragrance and taste was slightly stronger. I was able to try my friend's oolong milk green tea, as well as the fresh milk with three toppings (red bean, boba, grass jelly). The oolong was too bitter and mature for my taste, whereas the fresh milk didn't have much flavor besides the red bean. I can't say this is my favorite boba shop, especially since there are so many other options to try. However, I would like to come back and order something new! read more

Tea Top - Left: Earl Grey Milk Tea with 3 Toppings - Bubble Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Shout out to the Sun Moon Lake tea one of my favorite milk tea bobas I've had in life. I went to visit Atlanta and stopped by here to try this and now that I'm home & back in NY, I keep thinking about it. That's how you know it really made an impact. The drink is a large & only comes in one size, with tapioca. We got 70% sugar and it was just right! The boba was chewy & great texture. If you like milk tea, you NEED o try sun Moon Lake!! read more

Teatop is very popular--apparently, it's the go to place in Chamblee. When I stopped by, there was a GIANT group of people (mostly younger crowd) waiting for drinks...after I had lunch, shopped around, and came back, there was still a giant gaggle of people outside! Absolutely cray...bright side is that the line goes by quick and drinks are decently quick as well (I think kids just like to hang around outside after they get their drinks). The drinks are decent--tea is brewed well and boba is cooked just fine. I have to say that places with "fresh boba" are better (I know a couple spots in Duluth), but this is a solid joint. If I had to put on my boba snob hat from living in LA/SGV (IYKYK), this is okay. However, GA standards not being in Duluth (or this bomb place in John's Creek), it's quite solid. read more

Tea Top - Grapefruit green tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

So consistent, fast and kind customer service. And it's always high quality. Bubbles are chewy (but not too chewy), tea forward, and modifications are appropriate. I always get either the Oolong Milk tea with boba or their Signature Green Milk tea with boba with 50% sugar and less ice. read more

Area: this tea shop is situated in the middle of a large asian plaza! There is an Hmart, multiple food spots, a karaoke and sake bar, and ~4 other tea shops right next door. Ambiance: tea top is a small little shop with counter service. Orders were out within 10mins. There is no seating available inside, and the line can easily loop out the door if there's over 6 people ordering. Its cute and cozy, and open until 9pm. Food: We got a few different selections. Oolong milk tea w milk foam, earl gray tea w milk foam, and sun and moon black tea w milk foam. There are 10+ options for toppings, ice amt, and sweetness level for endless customization. The earl grey tea was subtle, but the rest had a prominent tea flavor which was a nice contrast from the salty milk foam. I got it w/o boba, but next time would try it w the sago bubbles. read more

I looked at my old review of Tea Top and was surprised I gave it only 4 stars. Maybe I was young, dumb, and being edgy. But Tea Top is a legit 5 star boba tea shop. They opened around 2018 and mastered their process. They constantly pump out high-quality boba teas in the Atlanta area. Due to covid, they closed their seating area and became a take-out only joint. It's fine. You just go up and order, wait for your number to be called, and get your drink. If you want to hang out, well, tough luck. I have a lot of favorites here. Their Earl Grey 3Q is a classic. Their Oolong Milk Tea is always great. Sun Moon Lake Tea is excellent. The matcha drinks are top notch (probably better than Matcha Maiko). Their teas in general taste better than other tea places in Atlanta. They seem to use higher quality tea, at least that's what it tastes like. Their slushes are top notch. Other tea places sometimes have chunks of ice, pretty annoying. Tea top makes sure they blend through all the ice so there aren't huge chunks floating around. It's all smooth. The texture of their slush are nice. They only have 1 size. It's the "large" size you see at other Boba Tea places. No conserving here. You get all the fat calories you need from this place. Their service is fast and efficient. Their teas taste great. In my previous review, I wrote that it wasn't the best bubble tea place in Atlanta. Well, after 5 years, I think they are probably the best bubble tea place that I've been to so far. read more

Amazing staff, serving with a smile and great recommendations! Masks required inside and the menu is located on the window outside. The earl grey pearl tea, with 3Q (toppings) was my first choice and it did not disappoint. Filled with rest flavor, the things that surprised me were the interesting textures of the ingredients. I would definitely recommend to try; order at 30% sugar however, with light ice! See photos please, and follow me if you agree! read more

I've never heard of this particular tea brand, but I'd definitely say they're at the top of their game. As soon as you enter, you see this HUGE Bubble Tea statue! Quite cute...and catchy! I decided to try one of their most popular drinks, Trifecta Milk Tea...and YOWZA...So Good!! Already, I can't wait to try this again! Am hoping this tea chain arrives in Charlotte sooner than later.

Tea Top - Bubble Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

There are so many great options for boba tea in atlanta, chose this one cause the line was poppin out the door. It was a little confusing as there's a sign saying you order via phone to minimize contact. But they were taking orders in person too. There is no indoor or outdoor seating so the drinks are all to go. Also there is only one size for drinks, I wanted a smaller one but only got large. I ordered earl gray milk tea, and it was very fragrant, the regular sweetness was perfect for me. I do like that you can change the sweetness and ice level for no charge. The jasmine green tea was also good but i didn't think it was as fragrant. Still very good and at a great price point. ALSO, there's a giant boba tea for a photo op! Would return!! read more

Alpine green tea with crystal boba. The only drink I get. They're fast and efficient. The space is small, but it's more of a Togo/walk thru (grab your drink and go) type thing. I recommend if you just want something to get your boba fix. read more

***This review is based solely on the service and attitudes of the Doraville location.*** Tea Top is a boba tea shop located in the Peachtree Pavilion in Doraville (same shopping center as the Doraville Hmart, Miss Gogi, Kura Sushi and a variety of other great spots). While the parking lot is huge, it can be tough to find a parking spot on the weekends/evenings, so plan to arrive a little early just in case. It's located to the left of Hmart (if facing it) tucked in a tiny shop that currently does not have any room inside to do more than place and pick up your order. They allow you to order in person, online and over the phone. I have been to this location plenty of times previously without any issues until this last visit. I can understand that when you are super busy, yes service will decline, but that does not mean you can or should be rude! Your customers are your lifeblood and should be treated with at least a little common decency I would think. We used the online portal to order ahead, assuming it would speed up the process of waiting. It said you place your order, get an email confirming your order was received and then 10-25 minutes later would receive a text that your order was ready. Unfortunately, while the idea is great in concept, it was never actually applied. We placed our orders online and waited to receive the email confirming receipt of our drink orders. And then we waited some more. After the first 20 minutes, we asked a cashier if they were taking online orders or if we should just redo our orders in person. He told us to not place an in person order and wait and we should get an email saying our order was being processed then. So we waited ANOTHER 20 minutes and again went in to inquire about our orders and were told yes, they were about to be processed and it would be another 20 minutes and our drinks would be ready. By that point, we were already late for other appointments and told them to cancel our orders. They said okay, orders canceled, sorry about the long wait. Surprise, surprise, literally five minutes after leaving, each of us received a text saying our drinks were ready. We ignored this since, 1). we were already on the interstate and, 2). we had canceled our orders before leaving. I assumed that it just meant they canceled the order on their end and since it was "closed out" it sent the text as final confirmation of "closing" that order. The real kicker is that TWO HOURS LATER I got a call from an unknown number and upon answering it was Tea Top asking if I was ever going to show up to pick up my drinks?? Drinks that I assumed had been sitting there for two hours?? I told the girl that no, I was not coming by because I had canceled my order since I was late for an appointment. She muttered something under her breath and hung up on me mid-word. There are a couple problems here. First, if you call someone to see if they are still coming to pick up their order, wouldn't you call at the point when they are 15 minutes late? In hospitality, you assume no shows after 15 minutes, so.... Second, if you call someone about their order, even if they are a no show, do not be rude! It reflects poorly not on you, but instead your place of employment since you represent them. I will not be returning to this location for a while since there are plenty of other boba tea places around where they greet you with a smile and polite manners! read more

WOOOOOW!! It's been FOREVER since I wrote a review. Today I went for a drive with my sister's family and got myself an Oolong Milk Tea with 30% Less Sugar and Less Ice. It tasted pretty good. The tapioca balls were soft and chewy. It was just the way I liked them. I enjoyed the drink very much! There were a lot of people standing outside of the Tea Top cafe. When you order your beverage, the employees will call out your number, and go and grab your drink. They'll only let you in if you're wearing a mask. So don't forget to wear your mask. There's only one size. So if you're wondering if there's a small size, well, there isn't. Just letting you know. Tea Top has put their drink menu on the front of the glass window, so you could decide which drink to get. You could also look on their website and pre-order your drink from there. I really like their boba drinks! Oh, and they don't do indoor dining. Just an FYI, you can't drink your beverage and hang out with your friends inside. I don't really have a favorite kind of milk tea. I just get whatever milk tea I feel like drinking.. it really depends on my mood! read more

Tea Top - Oolong Milk Tea 30% Less Sugar Less Ice - Bubble Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I've been here a couple times now and I consistently order the grapefruit green tea. It has such a fresh taste to it I can't get past it. I don't live in Atlanta so I crave it when I'm not here. Even though it's a fairly small shop the service is great and they still make the inside look cute. read more

out of all the boba places i've tried in the past decade, tea top is definitely one of my favorites. their drinks have a strong tea flavor, good boba consistency, and a good balance of creaminess/milk. i used to always get the oolong or jasmine milk tea which have a great roasted or floral flavor, but my all time favorite tea from tea top is the signature alpine green milk tea. i've never had anything like it at any other boba place. it's a green milk tea with a slightly different taste--my brother says it tastes like the sweet version of the green tea they serve you at chinese restaurants. idk if i'm crazy but i always feel like it tastes a bit like cookie butter/gingerbread lol. i always get less ice and 30% sugar. i got 50% today and it was too sweet for me. also at this location, it wasn't as creamy as the one i get back home in the bay area which was a little disappointing. however, the large milk tea here is only $3.95 and with boba and tax comes out to $4.81, which is a very good price considering it comes out to $6.18 back home :o this location is a little takeout counter to the left of hmart. it took less than 10 minutes to get my drink. i don't come to the doraville area often but if i do, i'll be back! read more

Excellent tea. I recommend the grapefruit green tea with boba on a hot day. I wish they had larger sizes! The ambiance feels impersonal, though, due to the plexiglass barriers surrounding the entire counter and kitchen, and the speaker you have to communicate through just to give your order. read more

This place is great! Located in the same plaza as Shoya and Kura so you can get dessert after dinner. The interior is brightly lit and clean. It has a modern look to it. We got the frozen mango drink that comes with rainbow popping bubbles that was recommended. It's super super sweet so I wouldn't not recommend it if you don't have a major sweet tooth. We also got the regular milk tea + boba and that was good too. The best part about Tea Top is that it's a great place to hang out. They have games and card games. I like Connect 4, Cards against Humanity, and Drunk Stoned or Stupid. It makes it fun but this place is also very busy! We had to wait a bit for a table. read more

Tea Top - Bubble Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Love Tea Top! This place is tucked in the left corner of the H-mart plaza. This area used to have only a few stores/restaurants but lately, more stores are opening up! This spot is ALWAYS busy, especially at night. Parking: You've got the whole plaza for parking however, that side of the lot is typically busy with Shoya, Yebisuya, Kura Revolving Sushi and a karaoke joint coming soon. So unless you're lucky, you'll have to park a bit further away. Drinks: YUMMMS. Their bubbles are really fresh and chewy. The great thing about Tea Top is you can customize the sugar and ice level. My go-to is the Sun Moon Lake Milk Tea with less sugar. Their drinks are super refreshing! Service: Spotty, but overall not bad. In cases where there's a big rush, you can easily feel pressured to quickly order and pay. So make sure you have an idea of what you want before reaching check out. This spot is small, but I often see groups taking over tables to hang out. They've got a shelf full of games towards the back! They include Uno, Cards Against Humanity, Jenga, Connect 4 and a ton others. I wish Tea Top was even closer to home. I'd probably be here all the time lol. read more

Stopped by after a quick H Mart visit (directly to the left of the market). My first time in and so man options! My boyfriend got the Passion Green Tea (which was deliciouuuuus, will def get this one next time) and I got the Mango Green Tea, also delicious. Really appreciated the bits of mango inside, yum. The lady at the counter was super helpful with ordering, even made suggestions that we both really appreciated. Teas were fresh, fruity and you can adjust sweetener/toppings to your liking. This is a close trek for me so I will absolutely be back! read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Tea Top yet - it has been my favorite bubble tea shop in Atlanta since opening and I come here at least once every few weeks. I think all the other reviews speak for themselves; all the classic tea and milk tea flavors are amazing, the pearls perfectly sweet and chewy, grass jelly nice and jelly-like, the new covid setup is impressive. I usually alternate between oolong, sun moon lake black tea, and alpine green milk tea. Their wintermelon is also super yummy (with and without milk). On my latest trip here, I decided to try something new and get the hot longan milk tea and it was unsurprisingly also delicious! Long story short, I have never been disappointed here, I would highly recommend stopping by every time you come to this area! read more

Tea Top - Tarro Milk Tea with cheese foam - Bubble Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Metro Atlanta has really been stepping up its bubble tea game in 2018 with the openings of tea shops like Sharetea (January) and Tea Top (April 26th). These places have turned out to be surprisingly great with excellent quality bubble tea and other Taiwanese milk and tea-based beverages. Tea Top Doraville's drinks have been legit. Like other bubble tea shops in the Atlanta area, Tea Top has a modestly-sized cafe with indoor and limited outdoor seating. This location looks to seat roughly 40 customers (guesstimate). The space is simple, clean, and modern, similar to other bubble tea chains. Of course, Tea Top has its own unique design and aesthetic, utilizing primarily wood, some brick and tile, Edison lighting, and large, illuminated wall panels. It looks nice. This is an international chain, originating in Taiwan in 2006. The first American location opened in 2014. This is an ideal place to come and hang out with friends and family, though I'm not sure I'd recommend it for work/study due to the current crowds. The environments at bigger bubble tea shops like Tea House Formosa or bakeries and cafes like Sweet Hut, Mozart, and White Windmill are more conducive for working. Tea Top's free Wi-Fi network ID is TeaTopDoraville and the password is ninjastyle. The menu features about 70 total kinds of drinks including traditional teas like Darjeeling, Earl Grey, and oolong; milk teas; "special teas" such as wintermelon Alpine green tea and yogurt green tea; slushies; "milk foam" drinks with a milky cream cheese layer on top; fresh milk drinks made with real whole milk as opposed to the standard non-dairy milk powder; matcha drinks; hot drinks including longan ginger tea and hot grass jelly; and cold-brew bottled tea such as Li Shan (Pear Mountain) oolong tea and osmanthus oolong tea. Toppings include pearls, coconut jelly, grass jelly, red bean, mung bean, sago, aiyu jelly, agar jelly, and four flavors of popping boba. Tea Top's drinks come in one size only at 700 mL (23.7 fluid ounces). I'd consider this a "large" size. The drinks cost anywhere from $3.25 to $5.25 each with optional toppings (if a drink doesn't come with toppings already) priced at $0.50 each ($0.75 each for popping boba). There's no credit card minimum. I've enjoyed just about every drink I've tried thus far which include the Earl Grey milk tea with 3Q (#6 on the top 10 list; $4.95), the Sun Moon Lake milk tea ($3.75) with pearls, coconut jelly, and grass jelly ($0.50 each, so this drink worked out to $5.25 total), the apple vinegar tea with agar jelly ($4.95), the mung bean milk slushy (top 10 #4, $4.95), the taro milk tea with sago (top 10 #5, $4.75), the signature Alpine green tea (top 10 #1, $3.25), the oolong milk tea with pearls ($4.25), the milk foam wintermelon ($4.25), and the fresh milk trifecta (top 10 #2, $4.95). Both the Earl Grey milk tea with 3Q and the Sun Moon Lake milk tea with pearls, coconut jelly, and grass jelly have been my favorites. In Taiwanese, "QQ" equates to "chewy chewy," so 3Q refers to three chewy toppings. In this case, they're pearls, coconut jelly, and grass jelly. It's a wonderful combo. Both the Earl Grey milk tea and the Sun Moon Lake milk tea have good tea flavor with just the right proportions of tea and milk. The quality of these teas is terrific with the Earl Grey having hints of citrus and the Sun Moon Lake having a subtle minty aroma with a natural, honey-like sweetness. At owner Diane's recommendation, we've gotten the Sun Moon Lake milk tea with 0% sugar and let the 3Q toppings provide most of the sweetness. It's tasted great. All of the toppings have been fresh and appetizing. Sun Moon Lake is the name of a lake in central Taiwan. The tea is made from golden red-brown tea leaves harvested from the surrounding mountain range. The apple vinegar drink with agar jelly is one of Tea Top's popular drinks. It tastes just like it sounds -- apple juice with vinegar. The drink comes with real apple slices. Like the 3Q toppings above, the agar jelly, which is made from algae, is top notch. I really like the texture. As for the mung bean milk slushy, it's fantastic. It's cold, flavorful (sweet), and refreshing. I really like the drink's icy and "beany" texture. Mung beans aren't a food you typically associate with slushies or a sweet dessert, but you'd be surprised. I consider this one of Tea Top's heavier, "heartier" drinks. It really hit the spot for me. The taro milk tea is made with real taro as opposed to the fake purple stuff most other shops use. Its flavor is more true and authentic. The Alpine green tea is a fine, basic tea. The oolong milk tea is solid. It rivals the best in Atlanta. I recommend the milk foam wintermelon (another one of my favorites). It's sweet. The milk foam can be mixed into the tea to create a rather rich, creamy, and robust-tasting drink. The fresh milk trifecta comes with boba, grass jelly, and red bean. If you don't like certain toppings, you can make substitutions. read more

I took my little cousin out for lunch and we grabbed some boba tea on the long ass-drive back to Cumming, GA. She loves boba, and ya'll know me with my "Tea Adventures with Tiffany" (in Honolulu). I'm not really a milk-tea type of gal. I think I ordered a regular milk tea with grass jelly (I hate boba), and my cousin got a thai tea with boba. Something interesting is Tea Top uses fresh milk for some of their drinks. I steered away from that, due to my stomach not doing well with milk. I went w/ the lactaid version LOL. Our drinks were made pretty fast. I liked how they're just a walk up counter, not a sit-down. So we were in and out. read more

Tea Top is one of several boba places in the H-Mart complex. I don't think I have come during any time when there wasn't a line! Drinks are around $4-6 which is pretty reasonable for the area! With milk teas, you can modify ice and sweetness level. My friend got the Sun Moon Lake Milk Tea with Boba and I ordered the Lychee Slushy with Rainbow Popping Bubbles! I loved the slushy and it had sooo much lychee flavor. I would prefer it a little less sweet, but I would get it again! read more

Tea Top is quickly becoming one of my favorite bubble tea shops! I have only been twice, but every drink I've tried has been fresh and delicious. Prices are very reasonable, too especially for the size. One size only. The shop is small, but they've maximized the space and have ample seating. Decor is bright, simple, and clean. Board games and free wifi are provided. I've tried: Pearl Milk Tea $4.25 Earl Grey Milk Tea with 3Q $4.95 Signature Alpine Green Milk Tea $3.75 It's hard to pick a favorite between the three. They're all different yet delicious. It's even harder to choose from their extensive menu, which includes both hot and cold bubble teas. My goal is try all top ten! read more

This is the BEST bubble tea in the Atlanta area. Yes, it's better than KFT in my opinion. I've tried so many bubble tea shops both in GA and in Taiwan so I feel like I'm a pretty good judge of good bubble tea. I am so happy they opened a store here because their tea is super delicious and is as authentic as it gets. I got the original bubble milk tea and the Sun Moon Lake milk tea. Both are flavorful and not watered down like many of the milk teas at other stores. The boba is so soft and chewy! Tea Top is also one of the only few stores that sweetens the boba itself, which makes eating it tasty instead of feeling like I'm chewing on rubber. Going with half sugar is usually the perfect amount of sweetness for me. I would recommend the Sun Moon Lake tea over the original tea just because it's a tad bit sweeter, but you can't go wrong with either. There's only one size cup at this store I think. The prices here are similar to the prices of other stores' smallest cup, but Tea Top cups are equal to a large size there. The store is small, but it has many tables to sit at and offers board games to play with. It's right next to the Super H mart. Definitely come check this place out! You might find your new favorite bubble tea place here :) read more

Tea Top is a Taiwanese owned company that just recently opened its first store here in Atlanta. Its located in the same shopping center where the H Mart about half a miles from Buford highway. I was most excited to see them offering Sun Moon Lake日月潭紅茶 black tea and Alpine Green tea are teas that are grown exclusively in Taiwan. Sun Moon Lake tea is a pretty rare "red" black tea from Natou County 南投縣 which is located in the central part of the island. (Most people outside of Taiwan have never heard of it and I think there maybe one or two places in the US where you can order this variety.) The tea itself is a cross breed between centuries old Taiwanese black tea and teas from India. Its can only be hand picked once a year in small quantities. Sun Moon Lake tea is a robust hearty tea that is similar to British black tea except it has a slight minty flavor. While British tea tends to have a slight citric taste to them. If that isn't enough for you they offer 3 varieties of oolong tea for those tea snobs out there. **Golden Daylily (Jin Shan) oolong tea- a warm floral oolong variety. It's grown in high altitudes of Wenshan region of Taiwan and has only been around for about 35 years or so. Not to be confused with Jin Shan green tea which is often used in Buddhist tea ceremonies. Some people think this tea has a milky after taste...to me it taste a bit like a buttery croissant... **Li Shan Oolong Tea- considered the Rolls Royce of oolong teas. It's grown in Li Shan Mountain in Taichung, Taiwan and the tea plantation where these teas are from are the highest in the world. It's got a smooth sweet, floral fruity taste with a hint of lavender....truly fantastic! **Osmanthus oolong tea-In Chinese its called Gui Hua Cha which means "precious" or "prized". It's a oolong tea that's been roasted with a rare osmanthus flower only found on Red Phoenix Mountain 凤凰山 in Beitou district in Taiwan. It's a beautiful tea both to smell and drink....interestingly Hermes has a perfume named Osmanthe Yunnan which uses both Osmanthus flower and Chinese tea as base notes.... How Tea Top tea works is similar to the way other tea places work....first you pick a base tea. Next you pick whether you want ice or sugar and how much. Then you pick your toppings. Tea Top's offers a few Taiwanese style toppings including sago 西米露, ai yi 愛玉 and Agar Jelly 寒 天。 They're a great additional to metro Atlanta's growing boba tea market. 1315th review 4/19/2018 235th for 2018 read more

New Taiwanese bubble tea shop alert! There have been so many bubble tea shops popping up in metro Atlanta, with Sharetea being one of my favorites so far. Tea Top is giving Sharetea a run for their money. Located in the H Mart Plaza, Tea Top is one of many new shops opening up in Doraville 2017/2018. Right now, it's 15% off all drinks during their soft opening. Grand opening specials include BOGO on specific signature teas. I ordered an Earl Grey Milk Tea with 3Q with 30% (little) sugar and less ice. The coconut jelly, boba and grass jelly are a little sweet, so I recommend ordering with less sugar for drinks with multiple toppings. Drinks are one size - large. Toppings are $0.50, although some premium toppings are $0.75. I have also tried the Alpine (Taiwanese 高山茶) Milk Tea and the Sun Moon Lake Milk Tea. Of all the teas I tried (Earl Grey Milk Tea, Alpine and Sun Moon Lake), the Sun Moon Lake Milk Tea was my favorite. Very subtle, even with the full sugar level (100%). There is free WiFi and the outlets are USB capable - so it's ok to just bring the cord! The amount of available seating in the store seems pretty average. There are also two small tables outside, but doesn't seem super comfortable or appropriate for large groups. Overall, Tea Top is one of my new "Top" bubble tea shops in Metro Atlanta. The authentic Taiwanese teas are hard to dismiss. It also doesn't hurt that it's only a 2 mile drive from my house. read more

The tea here can actually be tasted. The hubs and I went here with some friends to hear about the hype, and it is real as you can actually taste the tea's flavor versus just a slight hint then mostly sugar. The flavors here are quite unique and different from other bubble tea places. There's sago that you can add that's totally new to me. There's only one standard drink size; the price is on average $4. Toppings are an extra $0.50. Board games are there for your utilization. Parking is pretty plentiful as Tea Top is located in the Hmart complex. read more

See all

Tea Top is a new bubble tea place located next to Champion Snack House in the H-Mart plaza in Doraville. The interior has a modern look and there's quite some seating, which is great for hanging out (they have jenga and other games in the back). I ordered the Signature Alpine Green Tea with less ice and 30% sugar plus pearls. My friend got the passion green tea medley with sago. Because they use syrup for the passion green tea, they did not allow for adjustment on the sugar level. I enjoyed my Alpine green tea because the tea flavor was nice and potent, making it a very refreshing and guilt-free drink. I tried my friend's passion green tea medley and it was way too sweet for my liking (especially if you can't make ask them to make it less sweet...). The staff was also very friendly and helpful. read more

Tea Top - Bubble Tea Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

If you want to be overwhelmed with tea and topping choices, this is the place to go. Just be ready for lines and no available seating - it's a very popular bubble tea spot, packed with Asians ... similar demographic that frequent Sweet Hut. SUN MOON LAKE MILK TEA - $3.75 + $.50 pearls (boba) Ordered this for my first visit b/c Yelpers were raving about it and I never had this flavor before. Requested less ice, 50% less sugar (just the right amount of sweetness). Honestly I thought Sun Moon Lake tasted like Black Milk Tea ... which tells you the extent of my taste sensitivities for tea. I wish they had a smaller size - Tea Top only has one size, 700ml. EARL GREY MILK TEA W/ 3Q - $4.95 3Q means it also includes pearls, grass jelly & coconut jelly (don't know why it's called "Q".) Tried this flavor b/c Yelpers were also raving about this tea, also b/c it's in the Top 10. Did less ice, 50% less sugar. Again ... thought it tasted like Black Milk Tea, lol. I also didn't think the grass jelly & coconut jelly had any distinctive flavor ... next time I'll stick w/ just the pearls b/c I like the chewy texture. Overall good spot for bubble tea. Also like that it's near my house and convenient go-to place for before or after Super H Mart shopping. Next time I'd like to try one of the Fresh Milk teas ... hope my stomach doesn't scream at me afterwards though :) FYI get the loyalty card - buy 10 and get the 11th tea is free. If you're facing Super H Mart, Tea Top is located in the far left corner. read more
