Cozy mom and pop place serving various organic teas with toppings like boba and crystal boba along with Vietnamese sandwiches. Stopped here for a quick lunch before heading to the airport. I tried the milk tea with matcha and crystal boba. My only complaint is not enough topping. I would have ordered extra if I knew. The milk is a non dairy creamer. Vietnamese sandwich was meaty with lots of pickled vegetables and freshly made spring roll comes with a nice peanut sauce. Super friendly service. Don't let the location adjacent to a thrift shop and liquor store pursue you to not give it a try. It's worth walking in and getting a sandwich and drink. read more

The best in the area! quick and delicious! Hidden gem! YUMMY Had their teacup special and also bang mi sooo sooo good read more

Grilled Pork Banh Mi was my go-to sandwich at TeaCup, even recommended it to a number of folks. The last time it was very disappointing. The pork tasted bland and dry. There was a lack of favor overall. Will be blamed and laughed at by the people who followed my recommendation, I am afraid. Consistence wins in a long run! read more

This place is right down the street from my work and I love it! They have a great drink menu, one of my favorites is the new blueberry lime soda which is really refreshing made with real blueberries! They have a good lunch selection and well, but mostly because they are always so friendly and helpful read more

Cute little hole in the wall in Des Moines. The outside is deceiving... the inside is clean, modern and fresh. Service was A+, I ordered a Thai ice tea and a pork bahn mi togo. My tea was delicious, perfect amount of sweetness for me! The sandwich was good. Fresh ingredients and pork was warm... i really wanted to love love it. Instead, i just liked it. Nothing wrong with the sandwich at all... i just wasn't really diggin the seasoning on the pork(?) Not sure. Overall a decent lunch on such a lovely day. read more

Great fresh spring rolls. Great service.

Fresh banh mi & friendly service. Been coming here since they opened & have not been dissatisfied yet! read more

This time is kinda dissapoint with Tea Time. The wait time was more than 20 mins to get my spring rolls. It broke and fall apart moment I open it. The only drink that I like here is their special. Other drinks end up in the trash. read more

TeaCup - Bubble Tea Near Me - Des Moines, Washington

TeaCup is a rare gem in the Des Moines bringing in another quality bubble tea/boba spot to an area that is lacking. Their commitment to making their drinks with fresh brewed tea, cane sugar, and only fresh ingredients is unique and different even in comparison to some of the more popular spots found in the city. While I'm not going to go out of my way to come here for a drink. I work very nearby and will be keeping this place in mind when I need a quick boba fix. On another note I also had the chance to try their combo Banh mi and tofu spring rolls. The bread had a crunchy but still fluffy and soft on the inside! Both were made with care and while a little pricey for what this seattle native is use to. It's comparable to the prices in the area for a good Banh mi. Come give this place a try if you are in the neighborhood. It is worth giving a chance! read more

Quality bubble tea sourced with organic ingredients. They use real cane sugar!!! Conveniently located in Des Moines, just a 5 minute drive from the SeaTac airport. Every drink I tried here has just the right amount of sweetness. My personal go tos are ALL OF THE FRUIT TEAS like passion love or my valentine. There are chunks of real fruit pieces. Ichiban- the most popular drink here. It's mos def IG picture worthy and tastes even better. It's a combination of matcha and strawberry puree. Troublemaker- another drink that I like to wake me up. It's like a blended coffee shake. Their Vietnamese sandwiches are so good! It's packed with meat and veggies. Only thing is I wish they were closer! read more

This place was friendly and fast! I meant to go elsewhere, but they weren't open. I was hungry but not starved, so I opted for some fresh rolls. They were good! Pros? Friendly service Decent menu for how small the place is Lots of tea options! Will try next time Authentic flavors for the spring rolls Cons? Nowhere to eat inside if wanted read more

4.5 stars but what the hay..I'll round it up to 5 stars. I love checking out new boba locations opening up in the southend of Seattle. Especially with their buy one get one free (milk tea or fruit tea), I had to take advantage of the deal! (I'm a fatty like that) Easy to find, in an ampule strip area with other businesses. Balloons and grand opening sign super visible. Parking could be a problem for larger vehicles though. BTW this place is 1 min away from the Marina!! Pretty decent with cute decor and games to play (for the 3 tables they do have), but my little one wanted to take a picture with Mr Bear which made it a bit difficult because there is a large party sitting right in front of him so it made it a bit awkward to try and take a nice photo. Got the teacup milk tea which contains 3 toppings - egg pudding, boba and crystal boba.. ALL my faves already! Also got the passion fruit lemon green tea with crystal boba. Both were pretty good, not too sweet but had enough flavor. Only con was the boba was a bit too hard? Maybe it's not cooked enough.. idk. I'm not sure if you can customize the sweetness because there are no signs but I think you can ask. .5 star taken off because of the boba & the fact that I stood there like an idiot for about 5 minutes. She took the order of the lady in front of me and then proceeded to help with the rest of the drinks. Could just take my order since no one was behind me and do all the orders while I'm just waiting around lol just my opinion of course. Anyway fellow yelpers, this is my personal opinion about this place. I do NOT know the family or the people who own this place but I hope this review helps because I love supporting small businesses, especially for my fellow vietnamese community! Will probably come back again before the BOGO ends and would love to try some banh mi :) read more

Boba is okay, crystal boba waaaaaayyy better, skip grass jelly, pudding ehhhh. The drinks we got were (L) creamy dreamy matcha w/ grass jelly 100% (m) honey bee (r) teacup milk tea 100% with boba -crystal boba, boba, pudding 75% sweet. The dreamy matcha was a bit thick to my liking and the matcha was very gritty. So make sure to mix it well. My sister had the honey bee and she said it's pretty good. I got the teacup milk tea and 75% sweet was still too sweet for me. I recommended 50%. We also got the spring rolls and the sauce is more on running side so careful if you are eating it in the car. read more

I come here around once a week and they always have the best service and super friendly, their food is also amazing.

Love going here for bubble tea and bhan mi sandwiches. It is always fresh and great quality with very nice customer service.

This place is truly the best. Most delicious bahn mi around. Sandwiches aren't dry and you can tell all the ingredients are so fresh. That goes for their tea as well. Beautiful family owned business that really cares about the ingredients going into their creations! I've never experienced such fresh wholesome bubble tea, and I don't want to go back! read more

Super fresh and tasty food. We especially love their spring rolls. Friendly service, too!

I was somewhat disappointed in my visit. I got a grilled (?) pork banh mi, which was a generous portion, but not the flavor that I was looking for. If you're serving lemon grass pork, say so, please. Nothing wrong with it, just not what I was looking for. Also, the two employees that I dealt with must have both been having a bad day. Not a greeting or a smile. Too much competition to bother with sullen service. It's a no for me read more

I really like this place. The staff is so friendly and they make you feel right at home. The drinks are huge and delicious. You can choose how sweet you want your tea. All the teas are organic and they use real sugar. Although, I haven't tried the food before, it looks fresh and delish. read more

Delicious bread for their sandwiches. Cheap and consistent. Very nice accommodating staff.clean and cute environment

This is the place to enjoy a good bubble tea with some banh mi. Beside the usual suspects, there's a mean green avocado banh mi. It's both fresh and refreshing with a touch of sweet mayo. The sweet mayo doesn't work too well with the other sandwiches, though, especially the ones with pâté. I'm used to the traditional savory, buttery mayo to go with the meats. If you get your banh mi to-go, make sure to ask for it untoasted (you can toast it at home later) with pickles and veggies packed separately. read more

Best Bahn Mi sandwich and loved their Detox Tea. Store was clean and service was great.

Small and cute shop. Their sandwich was good. The sauce for the rolls is kind of bland. They do their crystal boba perfectly. I would come back just for their milk tea and sandwiches. read more

Teacup is such a nice small business with prices reasonable prices and always caring employees. A few times the boba did not taste fresh. Other than that great. read more

We frequent this little neighborhood spot for yummy Bahn Mi and various Boba teas. I usually go for a mixed berry avocado smoothie with rainbow jelly or wintermelon tea with oatmilk. They also make a chicken noodle soup from scratch which is delicious, but I felt the carrots could have been cut smaller. Order online for quick and easy pickup. They haven't messed up an order yet, and we come here quite often. Nice staff. read more

They have really good bubble tea. They seem to prioritize online orders over walk-ins so I suggest ordering ahead.

Great family owned store that serves the best Banh Mi sammies. We also got Vietnamese iced coffee and a blueberry smoothie for our daughter. The drinks were reasonably priced and the sammie was only $6.50! Not a lot of space to eat, but it perfect for grabbing a quick bite and an awesome drink. The owners were great and friendly, welcoming our daughter(1.5 years old), which was nice. The bottom line is that this cafe is gem and a welcomed addition to the community! A+! read more

This mom and pop family tea spot is the truth. Hidden away on a parallel street to the main strip in Des Moines. I drove by and noticed the name and picture on the sign out front. Stopped in. Was a good decision. Tea is made fresh. Boba is always perfect texture. Doesn't taste microwaved or anything weird. Deserves more recognition and praise. Perfect anytime of the day and year. Tea has just the right amount of sweetness and boldness. read more

I love this new Des Moines spot! The workers are all super friendly and amazing but the menu items speak for themselves. SO FRESH, light and flavorful.

I decided to pay this place a visit after reading all their positive reviews. I was not disappointed as this place offers some of the best milk tea I have ever had. I tried their seasonal matcha milk tea hot and their classic "teacup" milk tea cold. Both were exquisitely made from real tea and bursting with rich flavor. This place offers options of sweetness on a scale of %25, %50, %75, and %100. I ordered %75 and found it to be plenty sweet, on par with %100 sweetness of most other places. Additionally, this place receives 5 stars for their customer services. I felt that the owner here is genuinely trying to improve the quality of their tea, as evidenced by the owner's soliciting of feedback from me after making my drink. In the "teacup" milk tea, crystal boba is added instead of the traditional black bobas (as written on their menu). I did not know that was different from the black boba so I asked the owner if I received the correct drink. She took the time to explain to me about the crystal boba in addition to offering me another drink with black boba to try, on the house. That is customer service at its absolute best. I would definitely visit again because of that, and their drinks are second to none. read more

Terrible service. Portions cheap. Prices cheap. Overcooked and poor quality meat. Get mostly noodles. Crispy spring rolls terrible. Sauces suck. Go to Pho Dinh instead. read more

Tea Cup has pretty good drinks! I ordered a mango banana smoothie with tapioca boba. It was very good and also was refreshing. Score: 9/10. Nice staff and great service (took about 5 mins for smoothie) would recommend. read more

I love the customer service here!! Very friendly and sweet. Their drinks is really good and it's very organic. The best part is their banh mi. I basically go there for their matcha latte and pork rolls sandwich. Really recommended. I live only 5 mins away and I'm definitely there at least once a week. read more

Fantastic service - the owners are so friendly! The Tofu and Avocado Banh Mi is SO good, and I had the Honey Bee milk tea half sweet, and it was perfect. Take your food and head down to the waterfront to enjoy your lunch on the water. I'll definitely plan on being back here. read more

Super good black milk tea and delicious boba that's sweet, soft and plentiful in the drink. The avocado matcha smoothie was also really delicious and filled me up for hours. The egg rolls were good but were reheated so they had the kind of chewy texture to the wrapper that wasn't my favorite , but the flavor was really delicious and went well with the sweet and sour sauce provided (extra points for being my fave sweet and sour sauce too, so good). The employee was so kind and told me about their popular drinks, offered me a punch card while she worked on my order. The store was empty aside from me as a customer, so I hope people are taking the time to stop by here and give it a shot. I'm super impressed and I'll be back for more tea and beautiful views of the sound read more

NEW! Cute little place, very nice people! I'm hooked on their yummy smoothies! Such a treat. Natural ingredients, fresh fruit options! Spring rolls are very tasty! Haven't tried the sandwiches yet, but they smell good! Dine in or take out. Open Sun-Thurs 11-8 and Fri-Sat 10-10. Definitely someplace to check out! read more
