    I recently came to Tiger Sugar and was pleasantly surprised they were having a Spring promotion (Double the sip, double the fun promo). I purchased 2 of my favorite Tiger Sugar drinks (#1- signature black sugar boba + pearl milk with cream mousse and #8 - matcha black sugar boba milk with cream mousse) and got a FREE Thai Tea. The offer is exclusive to the Providence store and starts April 26th and ends May 31st or until supplies last. The Thai Tea came with boba or pearl and I got it with boba. It had a really good Thai Tea flavor. There was no line to order and the drinks were made in no time.

    Been here a few times since my last review. Had a couple of duds and will never order them again. I can't remember the one from last time but they asked me if I wanted soy powder. So sure what the heck. It was very gritty. Like a barely mixed protein shake. I suppose that's what it became lol. This time my son ordered the #6 the brown sugar mochi boba milk with cream. Soooo the cream... it's a weird texture. Like you kind of have to chew it. I think they over whipped it and it started to become butter. It's like a very soft whipped butter. And it didn't dissolve at all in the drink. Being Asian I like all those different textures but my son and his gag reflex was in full alert. So we ended up trading. The lines are always super long in here and there's always only 1 or 2 workers. Also when you leave a cash tip they don't acknowledge you. This is still good for a once in a while treat. $7.41 for a large.

    Tiger Sugar blows the other boba tea shops out of the water! The taro pudding and fresh chunks of taro in the taro drink with crème is incredible with all the sensational textures and flavors. I have to have it whenever I'm on Thayer Street! Their prices are very reasonable for the quality of the ingredients, especially compared with the other boba tea bars. This is the only boba tea shop I will go to in Rhode Island!

    The newest addition to the Thayer St/PVD boba scene, Tiger Sugar is most famous for their brown sugar boba and coffee-based boba drinks. While they hands down have the best "bubbles" in the area (with an iconic "QQ"/chewy mouth feel), it's frustrating that the levels of ice and sugar can't be adjusted -- and the drinks are quite sweet. Nevertheless, I'm a fan of their #4 when I'm open to a sugar rush! Service and staff are very friendly and fast. Also applaud them for opting for paper straws, which are quite sturdy and do not dissolve at all.

    Absolutely so excited to finally have a Tiger Sugar in Providence! The location is perfect. I love that there is room inside to stand. The menu is big and they have the new matcha drink! I ordered the Mango Sago and signature drink. The Mango Sago is so refreshing with mango juice and fresh mango. It's great for a hot day. The signature drink is perfectly sweet and great for a treat. Overall, I can't wait to visit more!

    We found this place as we were exploring Providence. It's still pretty new, but we were excited to find a cool boba place! My husband and I both ordered the black sugar boba. It did take a little while for our drinks to come out, but the workers were very friendly. The shop is very small and there aren't many places to sit. Overall, we enjoyed our drinks here and think it's worth checking out if you're in the area!

    I've been to both Tiger Sugar locations in Boston, but this one is bigger than both of them combined. I've tried the classic #1 brown sugar milk tea, brown sugar pudding, and the limited edition strawberry mochi. The boba generally comes with both small and regular-sized tapioca pearls which may be confusing if you are not a regular boba consumer. There are no options to change sugar or ice levels which is disappointing. However, having those options changes the flavor itself. I think the staff and service were friendly and fast, considering how busy boba shops can get at any hour of the day. This is definitely just a grab-and-go type of shop but it's well worth the stop if you are in the area.

    We were walking by and noticed this new place on Thayer Street so we went in to check it out. I'm not an expert on bubble tea but do enjoy them so we ordered their signature drink, a black sugar boba with pearl milk, and a mango sago. Our first visit was over their grand opening weekend so the staff was being trained, learning their workflow, and how to use the different machines so it took a little bit longer than expected for our drinks to be ready. The wait was totally worth it and we have been back a few more times to try additional drinks and they have all been good so far. The story of how the drinks get their name is a reference to the way the syrups are layered into the cup, mimicking tiger stripes. We're looking forward to our next visit.

    One of my new favorite boba spots in Providence! Came here for the grand opening weekend, and it was super busy. However, service was so fast! I got the #1, classic milk tea with brown sugar boba and it was delicious!

    Got the signature Tiger Black Sugar boba. They couldn't adjust the sugar level so it was a bit sweet for me. The boba was a mixture of regular sized and mini boba. Overall the flavors were great and definitely resembled the boba popsicle flavors. Boba was perfectly chewy

    Good bubble tea, nice flavor. The mochi and mousse cream add unusual texture that's not for everyone

    To be honest, I was originally going to Kung Fu Tea, but I found a parking spot right in front of…read moreTen One Tea House so I took it as a sign to try something new. I went in with a craving for something sweet, creamy, and cold, but ended up going for something light and fruity: the peach Yakuit slush. It was only $0.80 more to go from a medium to a large so I went for it and also added aloe for $1. The total was around $7-$8. I did use one of the two kiosks they have since it was my first time there and I wanted to take my time exploring the menu. It was super easy to use, only accepts card payments, and will send you a text when the order was placed and when it's ready. While I waited, I took in the details of the place, including the soft pastel colors and also the theme of squirrels which are one of my favorite animals. I liked the art on the walls, and they've used the space well with some tables along the window looking out to Thayer street, while others hugging the entrance ramp. I did not interact with the staff but they looked like they were killing it behind the counter to push out orders in a timely manner. When I did get my order, I thought it was pretty with a rose pink slush, bright pieces of peaches, and bottom layer of white aloe. I tried shaking it a bit to try to mix it up but it didn't work too well. They have straws with a thick opening to get the chunks through. The slush was very flavorful and a good consistency.

    Rating: 4.5 I've…read morebeen meaning to try this place for a while but decided to try because i passed by and was in the area. It's a small tea shop in providence that offer toppings such as boba and sides like taiwanese chicken. They offer different tea toppings like boba, crystal, jelly, ..etc and also sweetness, milk substitute and ice options. Parking is street parking only and can be difficult to find during busy time. Inside is nicely decorated and has good aesthetic. Seatings are limited so I would not expect to find one unless you are lucky. I guess the name of the place is derived from cha which means tea in Chinese and Daruma who is a founder of zen Buddhism. They have a mascot who looks like Buddha holding a bubble tea. I ended up ordering black milk tea with boba and taiwanese popcorn chicken with seaweed and salt/pepper. Tea came out right away and was pretty good. Good tea flavor but maybe a bit too sweet. Boba is home made and its nice and chewy and no inconsistency. I would do 75% sugar and less ice next time for my liking. Taiwanese popcorn chicken was juicy and flavorful. We also got lucky with seating so we sat down to enjoy their food and drink. Service was good and no issues. Overall the place is pretty good. I think everything was good quality and definitely one of the better tea/fried chicken place around RI. If it was in more convenient location I would definitely come back often but I would likely only stop by if I'm already around the area. I did like the place.

They are also out of ingredients sometimes, including their house made bubbles. On my most recent visit, they messed up my order too. I think the drinks are good, but the service and overall experience is frustrating. My only guess is that I go towards the end of the day (5ish), potentially during a "rush", so I am going to try earlier in the day to see if there is a difference.
