    I've been here a couple times and the drinks have been pretty consistent. They have a self ordering kiosk for easy menu browsing and checkout. The staff are nice and the drinks came out quickly. It's a nice place to hang out - lots of seating available as well as games.

    Went there because my friend said it's the best Taiwanese style braised pork rice in the area, and of course I have to try it, I ordered the one with vegetables and I would advise to get the one without the vegetables(It was just cabbage and it's like they cooked it in vinegar or some sort--it tasted a bit sour), I was expecting it to be stir fried with garlic or just steamed. Otherwise, the pork and the egg were pretty authentic. The bubble tea was decent as well, lots of choices in terms of the flavors and toppings, also tried the savory tangyuan, it was not my favorite but kudos for them for just having the choice. At the end of the day I would recommend the fried chicken or the braised pork over rice for this place.

    Cute bubble tea cafe with fun decor and a variety of food menu as well. Ordered the butterfly blue sky milk tea and popcorn nuggets. The butterfly milk tea was not that great and tasted more like milk with little butterfly tea flavor. However, the popcorn chicken was really good. It was well seasoned and crispy, the perfect snack when hanging out friends or playing one of the many board games they have in the store. Definitely a nice place to just talk and chill. The food and drinks came out pretty fast. I would come back to try their other bubble tea flavors and food options

    Tea Top has been on my top to do list for a while! It did NOT disappoint. I ordered mango green tea, butterfly blue sky, alpine rose & jasmine green tea. The location is charming and has board games and tables for customers to enjoy if staying. Well lit, the staff was friendly and I was grateful that I wasn't pressured to getting more than 30% sugar in any of the order. I can definitely see why this Top Tea location is popular. The butterfly blue sky? Wonderful! Butterfly pea tea is calming so if you need or want a "chill pill" order any of the butterfly tea options. The mango green tea was also very tasty ( if you have a sensitive palate, you'll taste the nuances and depth). I think I would have enjoyed the mango green tea even more with zero sugar. If you are a snacker, they have good options for that as well. If you love quality tea, add this spot to your list.

    Love this bubble tea spot because of their ambiance, and their Taiwanese fried chicken are delicious! This establishment is clean and tidy. The staff are friendly. :)

    This restaurant looks very clean and esthetic which I enjoyed. Plenty of seating for people to sit down and enjoy. They do have to board games by the floral wall which seems like a great idea! The flavor of the matcha latte was good but not amazing. I did love that there was a ton of boba (I did pay extra for more) and the red bean was good too! I definitely want to come back and try the taro milk tea with sago!

    I love coming here for boba. Tea Top has the best boba and ambience in Ellicott City. I enjoy coming here to catch up with friends or to spend some time by myself to unwind with a book. In the month of February, Tea Top has a Valentine's Alpine rose green tea special. It's light, refreshing and has just the right hint of rose. It's perfect to treat yourself or share with your love. A special shout out to the staff for recommending this. I'm officially a fan of rose tea. I'll be back for more!

    Taro milk tea with sago
    Christine C.

    Got the taro milk tea with sago with 80% sugar and it is amazing. My first sip was like OMG!! Has real taro bits and it's not purple!! Most places use powder for their taro but not here. This was authentic!! You could also really taste the flavor of the tea used. You can tell this place knows how to brew their tea. They also have some authentic Taiwanese dishes as well. I wanted to order a second one but didn't want to look like a pig. I'll just have to come back another time. Finally, a place in Maryland that has real taro milk tea. I will be sure to come back and try some of the other drinks out. You won't be disappointed if you order the taro milk tea here! Highly recommended as someone who has had milk tea in multiple places in multiple states and the motherland of boba milk tea.

    Signature Alpine Green Milk Tea & Thai Milk Tea

    I'm glad there's a local and authentic boba shop in the EC area. It was not a hard decision to make when picking a place for dessert after dinner. Surprisingly, it was pretty empty on Sunday night. It was a great place to catch up with a couple friends since Tea Top also closes pretty late (for suburb standards) at 9:30 PM. There's your typical Instagram aesthetics (flower adorned walls, the store name printed in wooden blocks, lights, etc.) which fills most of the interior. SIGNATURE ALPINE GREEN MILK TEA - 5.25 I thought this was really interesting and was told that it would have more of a "pine" taste and it definitely does. I got this drink with grass jelly (+0.75, I think) and 30% sugar. 30% sugar is usually a hit or miss with me but I found it to be a bit too sweet (after drinking half of the boba, I was done). The alpine green tea is definitely unique and worth the try. Next time, I'll just go for 0% sugar, HAHA. Like other boba shops, the boba price inflation is too real. I'm glad I stopped by Tea Top after eyeing it for so long! I will try a different topping next time (friend said the tapioca pearls were too soft, though).

    Tea Top is always a must-stop when I'm in Ellicott City. The service was great, the teas were refreshing, and the mango flavor was so yummy! I'll have to try their food items next time I'm there.

    Love the interior decorations and overall atmopshere here! The teas were very yummy and not too sweet. Not too overpriced, and would love to come here again and get more boba :)

    I love their fried chicken sandwich here! It was so yummy and better than most of the actual fried chicken places. Their bubble tea is yummy too and they have lots of interesting flavors. They have seasonal specials and it's fun to try them. They have a frequent buyer card where after you buy 10 you get 1 for free.

    Came here for a quick boba and loved it! I spent less than $6 for a Thai tea and it was absolutely…read moredelicious. The service is always so quick and it usually isn't super busy in there. Inside is a little dark, but the decor is very fun! There is a giant boba tea statue inside and a wall of sticky notes that is cool to look at while waiting for your order.

    Tried this place for the first time today. Got a few things:…read more1) Jasmine almond milk tea w/boba - this was fine I think. I don't usually get almond but it's kind of an interesting flavor. The drink was refreshing though I don't think I'd get it again. 2) Taiwanese fried chicken. The flavor wasn't bad, but I'd say it was pretty peppery for "mild." There is actually a huge amount of chicken, but very little sauce that comes with it. The chicken is also very chewy. Not dry but I do wonder if it was overcooked a little. 3) Salmon onigiri. Ok. Rice was a bit dry. Salmon was ok but the little cubes were falling out as I ate it. Overall, the food was ok. The staff was nice. The environment was cute, definitely Taiwan style with LINE characters and a jumbo bear. The couch the bear sat on was a little stained looking. Menu was a little disjointed and the offerings were written in multiple places, but nowhere altogether. It seemed like there wasn't a ton of business at 4pm on a Wednesday, but I kind of understand why.
