Oh, this place definitely has upped their game since the last time I've been since their opening! I really enjoyed my roasted oolong milk tea tiramisu drink; the tiramisu aspect was quite lovely on top of the creamy and tasty tea. Pretty empty when I went too so nothing to worry about with lines and seating. read more

With every visit, this place has slowly became my favorite spot for Boba. I'm not sure what is up with the name changes or if they changed ownership, but every drink I've tried so far have been perfect. Not too watery and amateur, not too thick and sweet... always just right! Their Grape is my favorite. I actually tried the Grape from the famous HeyTea and I liked Tian Cha's more. Their Banana Milk smoothie is also amazing (tastes like the Korean Banana Milk brand). Honestly, I haven't gotten anything I hated here. What's scary is I don't really hear much people talk about this place. I really don't want this spot to close down so please please please go support them! :) read more

I love their teas and cheese foam. It's the perfect balance of salty, creamy and sweet. The boba pearls are so satisfying and chewy. My favorite is cheezo mango with caramel boba. read more

I came here today on a Saturday after dinner, and was wanting to try a new boba spot! After looking up reviews online, it brought me nearby to Tian Cha! I've tried a lot of boba places in Northern VA, and this place surprised me in a good way. It's very unassuming, in the corner of a plaza next to Gold's Gym. The signature seems like tiramisu cream and cheese foams, so I opted for the Ceylon Boba tea with tiramisu cream! I did 50% sweet with caramel boba added. The drink was really good, the tea flavor here tastes great and brewed fresh. The sweet tiramisu cream on top was plentiful, and it comes with a cute mini shovel! My bf got a mixed fruit tea with less sugar and he enjoyed it. Overall, a nice chill place with good boba! Service was nice and efficient and fast. There was no wait or line when we went. Check them out and put them on your next boba spot! read more

I went here after dinner last night because i was craving something sweet. So i order the Mango Creamio and OMG! It definitely satisfied my sweet craving. And it was SO refreshing! The creamy mango flavor paired with the mango jelly gives it the perfect sweet + chewy texture. I could seriosuly have 2 of these lol. read more

I got the Brulee Thai Milk Tea to try since it sounded unique and the flavor profile on this drink is delicious. It was my first time here so I can't say much since I haven't tried their other drinks but I am willing to come back to try their other special drinks. I got everything in my drink regular just to try and would get less sweet next time as this drink is on the sweeter side. Store has plenty of seating and isn't as busy mid-day. read more

My nephews wanted some Boba to end our day out and I found this place who thankfully was open relatively late. Located in the Braddock Rd shopping center hidden in a corner we almost missed it. Upon entering 45 minutes before their closing time, they were busy! We over heard the party ahead of us say "you're out of Boba?!!" And my nephews looked at me with such disappointment. Guess it wasn't meant to have tonight. Anyhoo-we were never greeted, and it would've been nice if they just had something to inform us they were out before we waisted 20 mins waiting in line. Happy Yelping! read more

Stopped by for an afternoon tea snack. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My son and I tried some new teas which were excellent. Looking forward to returning to explore more of the menu. read more

I ordered the Vietnamese tea and was extremely disappointed. It was overwhelmingly sweet with a very thick, almost syrup-like consistency that made it difficult to drink. I asked the staff why it was so thick, and they told me that's just how they prepare it. Unfortunately, it was not enjoyable at all and tasted more like pure sweetness than tea. Based on my experience, I would recommend taking your money elsewhere. If you're looking for better drinks and overall quality, I'd suggest going to Tea Do instead. read more

Quality of boba: 5/5 Quality of milk/tea: 4/5 Ambiance/convenience: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Overall, I give this spot a 5/5 since they have more authentic flavors and their boba was great (perfect texture, definitely authentic!) The one area I only give a 4/5 is their quality of milk and tea. If they had fresher milk, it'd bring it up to a 5/5. read more

I had seen this place pop up whenever I searched for boba spots. I was intrigued by the little shovel and why drinks needed one. After reading the reviews about the tiramisu foam, I had to try it. My boyfriend and I ended up going and it was rather empty that day. The interior is very clean and has a clean aesthetic to it. The service was very quick and the drinks were made given pretty fast. The tiramisu foam is delicious! The royal ceylon tea is almost like a Hong Kong milk tea without the sugar. The foam sits right on top and you just scoop it out. The lids have a sliding window to avoid removing the lid. The mango creamio comes with a scoop of mango ice cream and provided a creamier taste to the mango slush. It does separate if you end up storing it but a few swirls and it combines again. Definitely check it out if you are in the area. read more

Conveniently located next to the Gold's gym, this place is always running a buy 4 get one free promotion. Sometimes they'll run a better one, like buy two get one free There's usually no line, and there's a chill vibe inside which makes it easy to hang out, without loud music blasting. Every cup is like boba with extra dessert on top, whether it's ice cream on top, or tiramisu cream. They give you a little plastic shovel to spoon out your dessert. I personally love the mango creamio, which is basically a mango milkshake with grapefruit on the bottom and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. This is the BEST option, I love how the grapefruit slightly freezes and how the texture changes. The acidity cuts the sweetness really well. The staff is always careful to ask if you're ok with the grapefruit. Other flavors are only ok so the five stars is purely for the mango creamio read more

Tian Cha - Annandale - Mango creamio, my favorite. I love the grapefruit at the bottom - Bubble Tea Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

I had to stop by today to take advantage of their July 4th "buy 2 get 1 free" special. My group and I ordered different items so we can try different menu items. (It wasn't my first time coming here, but I always get the same thing: mango creamio). I still think the mango creamio (with regular sugar level) is by far Tian Cha's best menu item. Their creamio products are a bit pricier since they come with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top (with a cute little shovel to help you scoop it up). The mango in particular is the perfect blend of flavor (sweet mango) and toppings (tart grapefruit bits). My order was the bubble milk tea creamio. It was fine. There's something about the tea/slushie that I didn't like as much as its mango counterpart. The boba had a nice chewy texture. I also had a taste of my friend's brulee green milk tea, but I also didn't fully enjoy it as much as the mango creamio. Service was quick. In all the times I've been there, it has never been suffocatingly crowded. Prices are on the higher side in general, but sadly there aren't many places that charge less than $5 for boba tea nowadays. read more

I don't know why I didn't write a review for this place sooner considering I always try to stop by here when I'm down in VA. Since it's opening my family and I have become addicted lol. We always make boba runs here because it's so good. Their creamio series are a must try and the tiramisu foam? The first bite with the cute little shovel they give you will amaze you. What I like about the foam drinks it that there's so many ways to drink to experience the flavors. Drink it directly from the cup, mix the foam in or even just eat the foam as a topping while you can drink it with a straw. My go to drink here lately has been the avocado creamio. It is sooo creamy because it comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and Crystal boba. I love avocado smoothies already but with the addition of the soft chewy Crystal boba textures? Wow. Very nice. I like it. read more

Very creative and delicious drinks! The staff have always been very nice and patient when taking orders and they always check about customizations you may want (e.g. sugar level, ice level, toppings). The times we've gone, it wasn't crowded and the drinks came out quickly. Our favorite unique drinks are the tiramisu foam drinks and the Cookie (Oreo) creamio. They have a unique design with being able to eat the toppings with this cute mini shovel from the top of the cup before/during drinking of the liquid! All the drinks we've tried taste great, and the have a buy 4 get 1 free deal that can't be missed. This is a regular stop for us - highly recommended! read more

Hands down my favorite bubble tea spot! I had given bubble tea a break because i was an addict drinking them like twice a day. So i only have them a handful of times in a year now... until now! Lol Tan cha has been on my mind since opening, but i am now finally getting around to it. Yesterday i popped in on a craving around 430ish and i will have to say the names and style of the boba are different. Attention grabbing for sure. Looking through the menu i opted for familiar items that i would know. For instance, THAI TEA. My absolute favorite!!! There's is a "brulee thai tea w/ honey boba" yummmmmmmmmmmmm. Service was fast as H-E double hockey sticks! Which i was impressed by, even when going to other places with no one inside i still wait almost 10 minutes. I ordered and my drink was done in less than 2 minutes. The drink? Beautifully made! The taste was suberb and real thai tea. Not like kung fu tea i got the sweetness level to 75%, but with the creamy brulee at the bottom I'll go for 50% next time! Omgosh, eve though im lactose intolerant i will have to suffice for more! I'll be back today and try something different, and eventually the WHOLE MENU. PLEASE STAY OPEN AND DON'T CLOSE ON ME! UPDATEE-----CAUSE I AM SOOOOOO STOKED. LIKE I JUST WANT TO TAKE THIS PLACE HOME WITH ME! I am applaud them for their prices and how magically fresh and fast this place is! how underrated this place is baffles me! JeeZ. Today I got the royal ceylon milk tea w/ tiramisu foam and caramel boba 50% sweet less ice. Drink came out in 50 seconds lol! It came with a cute ass shovel spoon for the super delicious and tiramisu foam! Ughhhhh i can eat tubs of this. Came with some cocoa powder and chocolate crisp on top. I'm crying at how good this is! Run don't walk!!! Ahhhh! read more

Lots of great choices. I've never had cheese foam before so trying that was super yummy and it came with a little shovel spoon which was cute. I had the mango creamio which was delicious although I'd probably opt out of the grapefruit mixed in next time.

I feel it would taste better with it but I really wanted a coconutty taste and put coconut creamer and coconut whipped cream at home. Didn't help so much. I might give it another chance and try something else. read more

It's one of my favorite boba places around Annandale! Other than milk and fruit teas, they have a variety of specialty drinks like tiramisu, cheese and matcha foam. We tried the Red Jade Milk Tea with Tiramisu. It came with a little shovel spoon so you can easily slide the lid to eat the tiramisu. It was instantly my favorite on top of that it was not too sweet; perfect consistency! There were only a couple of people that night so the service was quick and their staff were attentive from the moment we walked in. The interior is nicely decorated with several seats for people to enjoy their drinks! read more

My go-to boba spot, staff is always quick with your orders and love their drinks. I typically order Royal Ceylon Tea or Tiramisu Foam drink

My favorite drink right now is the mango creamio? It was dang good with the vanilla ice cream and bits of grapefruit. I really enjoyed the drink. The milk tea bobas were good as well. I forget which one but all high quality. I will be back for the mango creamio! Just wish this place was closer to me in Fairfax. read more

I was excited to see a tea shop, originating from Rowland Heights, making its debut in NoVA. The menu offers milk and fruit tea, including puff cream, brulee, and matcha drinks. I had the Super Fruit Tea and the Strawberry Green Tea to-go - while they both looked refreshing, they were both super watered down and had a lack of either the tea or the fruit flavors. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that there were stickers still on the fruit... meaning, either the fruit were not properly washed or the one who was prepping did not care that the stickers were still on them and just decided to slice them anyways... And, these were found in both of the drinks, not just one, because, you know, probably from the same batch of fruit.. Of course, this made me extremely queasy and both were tossed - the lack of quality control was super disappointing. Staff were friendly, and I was hoping that this place could have been a go-to place after having a meal in the area. Sorry, not sorry, but I would not return. +lack of quality control +watered down drinks +friendly staff +plenty of parking in the plaza lot read more

Definitely the best boba in Annandale but comes with a price, literally. I got the "Royal Ceylon Milk Tea with Tiramisu Puff Cream" with caramel boba (+$0.75) and the drink came out to be $7.11 after tax. There's only one size (20 oz? 24 oz?) so it's an obnoxiously-sized drink that might be a bit too much after dinner. This drink costs around the same as a chicken burrito bowl at Chipotle which is ridiculous. However, it was very tasty, despite being a bit watery. The tea flavor was strong and there was a good ratio of tea and milk (a lot more tea than milk). The boba was sweetened and had a good chew that I enjoyed. The winner here was definitely the tiramisu puff cream. The tiramisu flavor was strong and went extremely well with the milk tea. It's creamy and light and honestly just very tasty! I got the drink with 0% sugar since I knew the boba and tiramisu puff cream would sweeten the drink. Even then, I thought the drink was a bit too sweet for me. Note, I don't have a big sweet tooth, though. Overall, come here only if you want to treat yourself to an expensive BUT TASTY boba. There's definitely options (without the puff cream) that is not nearly as expensive so definitely give this place a try when you have the chance! read more

I picked up a drink for my sister (matcha milk tea with cheese) and a drink for myself Oolong tea with cheese top. I really enjoyed mine and my sister was not a big fan of the cheese topper. They give you these really cute shovles as a novilty thing to I guess eat your cheese topper. I wish I understood more the meaning behind the shovel and if there are other drinks there that would make more sense for having the shovel. We just used our straws and there is a sip part to the amazing cups they have, which allowed us to drink the cheese top off. It was a very cute cafe, a bit long getting the drinks. If I am in that area again, I would stop by and try the tiramisu flavor tea! read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. From start to finish I would never spend another cent in there. No one greeted us when we came in like all the other customers when they entered. The bathroom was the most disgusting bathroom I've ever been to especially for a place that is serves drink items. When asked where the restroom was my mother was given an attitude as if we were bothering them. We ordered three drinks total. I didn't like my drink, I ordered a messy taro because I always order taro bubble tea and at this place it tasted like nothing but milk, so I asked to order something else and was told there was no refunds or exchange. Ok... So I said I was really unhappy with my drink but I would pay for something different. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM. Now being forced to buy a FOURTH drink they were having a promotion "buy 4 drinks get 1 free". At this point I've purchased 4 drinks and they told me because I didn't order them in one ticket they couldn't give me the promotion because they didn't know how to put in the discount code and their manager wasn't there. Are y'all being serious right now? So not only was your bathroom disgusting, no greeting when coming in to patronize your business, I didn't like my drink and TO TOP IT OFF your NOT going to HONOR YOUR PROMOTION. I will never come back. A waste of $30 and time read more

A decent place for bubble tea and more. Not a typical cutely decorated bubble tea place but they work fast on orders and can recommend you drinks if you have not been there. The cream cheese drinks are the best because lots of cream cheese on top and a cute little shovel to go with the drink too. Plenty parking. :) read more

Their tea has such an authentic taste. You can tell it's not made with powder, but if it is, it's got some real Uncle Iroh tastes to it!! I had to try the creme brule, which surprisingly, I didn't enjoy. It masked the taste of the tea in itself, and when mixed, overpowers the drink. I did like having the mini shovel to dig it out though, a cute souvenir. My go to order is the Roasted Oolong Milk tea!! The Green Milk tea is a good second pick! read more

Another new boba shop in NOVA! It's hard to keep up with all the new places popping up. This place is a little pricier than others in the area, but you're also getting a larger quantity. There are no customizable sizes (regular vs large). Each drink with a topping ($0.75 each) costs around $6.50. The first thing I noticed upon receiving my drinks was that the cups felt like high quality plastic. I think you could reuse them if you wanted! I ordered the Uji Matcha with Tiramisu & Brulee foam and the Brulee Milk Tea. I thought the "brulee" meant that there would be a layer of caramelized sugar at the top, but it just means custard is added into the drink. Both drinks were tasty! They give you a cute little shovel-shaped spoon for the foam. However, the tiramisu & brulee foam was a little heavy and it felt like eating a dessert with your drink. For that drink, I wish the matcha flavor stood out more. Good first impressions. The drinks here are definitely more on the indulgent/dessert side. I want to come back to try some of their other flavors! read more
