Allie Y.

came here with a friend after getting dim sum across the street. I saw the reviews and was a little skeptical due to them being so new. I ordered a uji matcha latte and a OG coffee for my friend. she didn't like the coffee too much, but the matcha latte wasn't bad. they whisk it correctly it seems. but was it the best I'd ever had, not really.

Coconut Matcha Latte and  Passionfruit Green Tea
Britney B.

I gave The Tea two chances, but I just couldn't bring myself to like it. I ordered the Coconut Matcha Latte with boba, and my sister tried the Passionfruit Green Tea. One thing I did enjoy was watching the baristas make the matcha from scratch. However, the matcha tasted very watered down, with only a subtle hint of flavor. The Passionfruit Green Tea was even more disappointing. It was overly sweet, with a syrupy consistency that made it undrinkable. We ended up throwing it away. I really wanted to love this place, especially with its extensive and unique menu, but unfortunately, the drinks just didn't measure up.

Uji matcha latte
Iulia G.

I've tried The Tea on three separate occasions and I truly do not understand the hype. I first heard of it on instargam from all these excited people talking about how they couldn't wait for it to open, so I went there about 4 months ago right around the time they opened. First impression was that I walked into a forgotten basement. There were chairs and tables in random places, also buckets and boxes in corners. It was dirty. The employees already looked like they could care less about being there. The other times I went back, not much has changed. It still looked dirty and employees looked bored. I've asked several employees for recommendations or further clarifications on drinks and they had no clue, very unhelpful. For the price they charge, they could've cleaned up the place and trained their employees by now. I wasn't impressed.

Crème Brûlée OG ( Cafe Kem Trứng)
Chi L.

With this spot recently opened, finally got the chance to check it out. Took me a minute to figure out where it was located as it's in a combined storefront with Pho Ga Vang. The vibe was very busy and less of a tea / coffee shop as it's in a combined open area with a Pho shop. Therefore, you get more of the loud noises from the restaurant side making it less welcoming to sit down have a tea / coffee and a place to hang out or work at. I ordered the Crème Brûlée OG ( Cafe Kem Trứng), it was absolutely amazing! The ice was nicely crushed into small tiny pieces in which it kept the drink super cold throughout and didn't melt as fast. The Crème Brûlée / Kem Trứng topping was perfect--creamy, milky, right amount of sweetness to balance out the intense and strong coffee. I will definitely be back--probably not to work or hangout at but will definitely be a repeated spot for my Cafe Kem Trứng cravings!

Toasted Thai Milk Tea
Christina N.

There can only be so many boba shops in one shopping center. The set-up of the store is a little weird because you can't see the menu from where you'd line up to order and the kiosk is for food ordering only. I originally wanted the uji matcha latte, but it wasn't available so I ordered the toasted thai milk tea instead. The drink came with a brûlée foam on top, which was a bit rich for me and wouldn't mix into the drink all the way and tasted like melted ice cream towards the end. The drink itself was fine, not the strongest thai tea flavor and a bit bitter for my taste. Nothing about this place stood out to me and it isn't much different from other places in the area.

Dragonfruit
Lynn P.

I have been here three different times over the past couple months, and it progressively got worse. I got the fresh fruit mango tea and it was amazing. It was the perfect blend of fresh fruit, tea, and it tasted really refreshing. The second time I came here, I got the dragonfruit tea. It was alright, but it tasted very watered down and didn't really taste like anything. The third time I came here, I got the fresh fruit mango tea with boba because I remembered it was good. It was nasty. They put way too much mango puree and it was very thick. Thick to the point where I could barely suck it up with a straw. I asked them if they could remake it and the person at the counter gave me a very nasty attitude. They remade it, and put absolutely no boba in it. It somehow was worse than before, and I threw it out. I will not be returning.

The menu!

New boba tea shop in Eden center! We came for grand opening and got a cute tote bag and even saw the dragon dance I got the golden mellow milk tea (60% sugar) and it was so good! still a touch on the sweet side but the tea was good quality and it was creamy and smooth and had a caramel-y aftertaste (vs some places that are watered down) There are lotsss of tables so plenty of seating inside!

Golden Mellow Milk Tea (+brown sugar pearls)
Ailun H.

To all the boba lovers out there, new boba shop (literally the 5th or 6th one) opened up at Eden Center! "the TEA" is a local chain from SoCal (?) so there's been a lot of hype around this opening of this branch. Apparently the lines are out the door during popular hours, but when I stopped by a couple Friday afternoons ago, there was no line. With new boba places I try, I tend to go for the black milk tea with tapioca pearls so I can have some sort of baseline to go off of. They also have a variety of different teas (a whole chart of the most mild to the most strong tea flavors) along with other non-tea based drinks. GOLDEN MELLOW MILK TEA +0.75 for brown sugar tapioca (I think, but sad!) There's only one size and it's very large, lol. I guess you could split the drink into two. After tax, the drink was almost 8.00, RIP. Inflation nowadays! I got this with 30% sugar and thought it was a bit sweeter than I'd prefer (probably additional sweetness from the brown sugar based pearls). Overall, the tea flavor was very fragrant and brewed fresh. However, I thought the milk flavor was weak and the whole drink felt watery. I didn't love the strong brown sugar aftertaste with the more watered down drink, but that might be a personal preference. I'm down to try other tea flavors and toppings here. Would recommend and would come back.

This is a very solid place for quality boba, but pricey. There are some unique teas and options on the menu, but it doesn't hurt to try the common milk tea and matcha drinks if you're willing to pay. There is a single large size, so you can see how that factors into the price a bit. For my base line drink on my first visit, I got the No. 18 Golden Mellow Milk Tea with boba. The milk tea and tapioca itself were very good, but I wouldn't say that the taste distinguishes itself quite as much for me as other places. Still enjoyed it on a warm day. It's very spacious inside wi plenty of seating, so great for groups of friends. Service was also good and they placed all of our drinks in a sturdy bag. Very nice if you're getting your boba on the go.

House Signature Fruit Tea + Hojicha Latte
Virginia H.

Once we heard a new boba shop replaced Vivi, we had to try it out! - House Signature Fruit Tea -- flavorful from the variety of fruit bits - Hojicha Latte -- not too sweet adjusting sweetness level to 60% - Popcorn Chicken -- surprisingly large portion size for the price; more than enough to share The interior is spacious, but the layout was a bit confusing. Their selections are on the pricey side and it is nice that their matcha is imported from Japan!

Kyle N.

Tried their Golden Mellow milk tea that was presented as the regular milk tea, it lacked flavor. They do have a chart showing the boldness of teas, the Golden Mellow was on the middle. Maybe I should have picked a stronger tea.

Smashed Avocado, Mango Pomelo Sago, Seasalt Cream OG, House Signature Fruit Tea
David L.

Another new boba place in Eden. I was there for lunch and decided to try them out afterward. Now, this place came from CA which I have heard about. This used to be Vivi. I also notice they will have two more vendors coming in. Both will offer food. One of my favorite is Seasalt at TeaDM. I want I try here and compare both. The coffee is very strong but the salt is very light. I still think the TeaDM is better. My other drink is the House Signature Fruit drink. I do like they have a lot of fruit bits in it so that's good. They also offer food but I was too full from my lunch so didn't order any. I wasn't wow by the drinks I ordered. I guess it's another new place to try if you have been to your other favorite boba place in Eden and want something new.

Strawberry snow & golden mellow
LeAnn F.

Maybe I got the wrong drink. But the fruit snow I got was just like strawberry syrup. It didn't taste like fresh strawberry slushy is what I was thought it was going to taste like. You also can't get alternative milk with it. My friend got the golden mellow. The service took 5-10 min. The place felt gross, old, and grimy. I didn't want to sit down because the chairs there was pen mark. It didn't feel clean at all in here. I really wanted to like this place because of the many food options and I want Eden center to thrive.

They do get busy at times, but their drinks are always consistent and the service is pretty fast. I also recently noticed that they use organic milk for their drinks, which made me even more impressed. It's great to see a shop that cares about the quality of ingredients they use. Jay, the owner, always stands behind the quality of his drinks and the service. I've been here multiple times, both to grab drinks to go and to sit and work for a while. It's always a pleasant experience. Would definitely recommend!

This spot was a few doors down from where we had lunch, so I decided to check them out. I saw they had matcha, but no options without milk. So I asked the cashier if I could get an iced matcha made with water instead of milk. I will pay for a version with milk, but I only wanted matcha, water, and the toppings. No milk, no dairy subs, no sweetness. She said she could do this in slush form. I asked what that meant and she said it's just like a slushie made with ice. That's sounded fine so I said go ahead. I got he receipt above, so I made sure to confirm there is no milk, no sugar. Just the matcha, water, and toppings, right? She said yes, so I went over to the seating area to wait. I figured the 10% sweetness and whole milk was something they had to enter into the system for that drink and they made notes to correct it to what I wanted. When I got the drink, it was a milky green, so I was super confused. I asked again, this has no milk and added sweetness, and they said yes. At that point I felt annoying, so I just left with the drink. Unfortunately it did taste milky / creamy so I didn't finish it. The toppings were good tho. It was unfortunately since I really wanted a matcha. I just don't like milk or cream in my teas or coffees. For the milk teas and drinks like that, I'm sure this spot is probably great. I know my request is rather odd for a boba tea spot, so maybe they misunderstood that I just wanted a matcha tea with toppings. I did tip them a dollar on top since they were really nice. But I just wish I got what I ordered. REVIEW #3885

Yes, you read that correctly, EGG coffee. Iced Egg Coffee, to be more specific. It's sweet, satisfying, refreshing, and you'll want it again and again.

It's become a favorite spot for my daughter and me, and we've even hosted several hangouts for her friends there. It's the perfect low-key environment for a small group. The interior has a great vibe; kids (and likely plenty of adults) love making the origami cranes that decorate the room. My daughter and her friends always head straight for the traditional seating area with the pillows on the floor, though there are plenty of regular tables if you prefer the standard setup. On the menu, the Beef Banh Mi is a standout. It's easily the best you'll find in this part of town without making the trek out to the Eden Center. The meat is juicy, the roll is excellent, and they offer it with or without an egg. The secret stars of the menu, however, are the basil fries. They are excellent and come with a fantastic house-made dipping sauce that pulls it all together. While my daughter is the boba fan of the duo, I stick to the coffee and smoothies. Just be cautious with the Vietnamese coffee--if you aren't a seasoned veteran, that caffeine kick will have your heart racing for hours. The staff is consistently fast, friendly, and efficient. It's a local neighborhood staple that we'll keep coming back to. My only complaint is that they are not a coffee shop for early AM!

They have a huge selection of drinks, all based on their freshly made sugarcane juice. I just got the classic juice since it was my first time trying sugarcane, but I'll definitely be back to sample some of the other fruity combos. It was delightful -- not too sweet, with notes of honey and an almost floral-like flavor. At $7 a cup, it was definitely pricey, but pretty reasonable for the area as I've also seen plenty of cafes and boba shops charge similar prices for lower quality drinks. The staff was super friendly, and I love that they had one of their juicing machines right next to the register. It was really fun to watch them work, and the machine spit out all the extra sugar cane skins / peelings into a giant wooden bucket that you could take from. The sugarcane had a great aroma, and the peelings are a fun way to keep kids entertained.

Ordering is convenient -- you can use the iPads or place your order at the counter. They also have a cute dine-in area if you want to stay, or you can grab your drink to go. I'm so glad I decided to stop in. The fresh-pressed cane juice was incredibly refreshing and definitely worth it!

I once had a durian smoothie here that was nice (they said they use fresh durian). Unfortunately service sucks. You use context clues to get in a line at the end of the store, order with an employee after they're done and look at you, have your order number flashed at you (which you're obligated to memorize as you do not get a receipt or physical number), and then you hover around the front of the store until you're called via your number. My biggest gripe is that they hire non-Viet speaking workers to take your order and expect you to understand them when they butcher the name of the foods. I ordered some cha ca (fish patty since I saw it in the glass container by the front on the counter and pointed it at) and the lady kept saying chacachinchacasong quickly 2-3x. I asked her what do you mean? She repeated it. I said I don't understand what you're saying. She looks to her non-viet speaking coworker, shakes her head, and says "chino" with an attitude. Eventually I come to realize after some pondering that she said "cha cá sóng (raw fish patty)" "cha cá chín (cooked fish patty)". I'd recommend management to remind the ladies to say things slowly if the customer does not understand or say "raw" or "cooked" if they cannot adequately pronounce Vietnamese to their large Vietnamese customer population. I'd also recommend not to insult the target customer in front of them.
