I cannot say enough good things about Transit Tea!! I stopped in on Saturday after a trip to Bookman's and couldn't decide what to get - I changed my mind a few times, and then I saw that the Watermelon/toasted marshmallow tea soda was listed as a fav, so I went with that! WOW! Talk about an explosion in your mouth! It was absolutely bursting with flavor! The person who took my order was super friendly, and I love that there is a walk-up window, and a drive-up window! There is so much to try here, I'm definitely bringing my husband the next time! They've really created a unique and exciting menu and I'll making excuses to be back in that area to try more! read more

The enchantment tea is one of the best! It's so refreshing and their service is always fast.

Decided to try this new location out this morning after getting my car washed right across the street. I was a bit confused at first because I wasn't sure got to access the drive thru and if they were open. But Bri was so nice she was inside and gave me the go ahead to use the drive thru! I told her it was my first time there and she walked me through the menu and was able to help me make my decision. I went with the classic chai with oatmilk. I will say it's a bit pricy but the quality of the chai was absolutely worth it. Bri even gave me recommendations for my next visit. Absolutely amazing and will be going back!!! read more

Transit Tea - Chai with Oatmilk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I just... love this place! We live up the street and have gotten teas every single weekend now for a few weeks. It's been so nice to be able to try something new in the food/drink realm safely. They have a great walk-up order stand or you can drive thru. Their menu is so fun, unique, and always encourages me to try something I wouldn't have thought of before! Adding bubbles to your tea makes it so refreshing! Some of my faves have been the Wonderlust, Trek, Joyride, and Bayou (I told you- we've been a lot!). Service is always great- and makes for a fabulous pick me up. I love having this little spot right in my neighborhood!! read more

Transit Tea - Joyride - sparkling! Super good. Recommend. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I am obsessed with Transit Tea! I've been frequenting Transit over my go-to boba places. The tea sodas are my favorite! You cannot go wrong with Kaleidoscope. The staff are friendly and will provide recommendations to you. I like that the drinks aren't overly sweet. I feel so refreshed (especially in the summer heat!) afterwards. I have only used drive-thru and it's pretty quick. I would like to try more fruity flavors. The chai is also one of the best in town. read more

Awesome flavors, such a fun spot in town! The gravitation is my favorite. The tea is fresh, service is always top of the line!

Great chai teas and the friendliest service we've experienced in Tucson. They even brought out shaved ice with treats in it for our dog. Excited to try their other teas and snow cones. read more

Was not expecting to be impressed. I am a boba milk tea aficionado, which is not this place. However, I keep an open mind and they were the only ppl open at 10am. I think I had a spellbound iced tea latte which came recommended. It's a milk tea. Very fragrant and was subtle. Very delicious. Usually, in general, I don't even do the rose teas at milk tea places bc the fragrance stuff bothers me, but on the other hand I like most of the stuff at teavana. This specific drink definitely works as a substitute for your traditional milk tea. Will be coming here again. Would recommend to anyone who likes milk tea. Do yourself a favor and get a large. read more

The best tea in town!!!! I would recommend this delicious cafe to anyone looking for a refreshing healthy and local drink. It's perfect for people of all ages and it is an absolute walk in the park to order from, the workers are so kind and understanding and super helpful when ordering. It's super aesthetic too! I'm literally obsessed go check out this yummy local gem!! P.s. the solstice is my fav I would recommend read more

Such a convenient spot to stop and grab a cool drink. They have a drive thru so you don't even need to leave the AC I've loved every flavor I've tried & I get a different one every time read more

The most refreshing stop we made all weekend. Every drink was unique and delicious. The owner took the time to help us all select the perfect tea. Highly recommend the tea soda read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. I would go EVERY day when I went to empire up the road, they would always remember me and what I got. The employees and I mean every single one of them are truly good people. I want to thank them for always welcoming me in the drive thru and asking about me and just overall making my days better. There Is no place like transit tea. I love you guys thank you for being the best business in Tucson. Everyone needs transit! read more

Truly delightful and whimsical! the staff is always so lovely and kind. the expansive options give you a fun new experience every time you go. read more

We went to Transit Tea about two weeks ago. Our tea-lattes were delicious. My beverage was a green tea with almond milk, lavender, and coconut, the Gravitation. My husband had a white tea latte with coconut and caramel, the Optimist. Being seasoned tea drinkers, we are delighted that Transit Tea has opened. My one suggestion is would it ever be possible to have an outside, shaded area nearby to drink the tea ? We found a park where we could enjoy every sip. Hope to get back to Transit this week. Fergie T. P.S. Also appreciated the compliance with COVID-19 protocols, and the friendly, efficient staff. read more

This place is exceptional. The snow tea is somewhere between a boutique snow cone and a bespoke slushy. The flavors are sophisticated but dilish...I would even say a bit addictive. Wish they had more locations. If I could give more stars I definitely would! This place is a must try. read more

I love this place. Everyone should come here and try the teas. I've tried almost everything on the menu and I love it all. This place really is a 10/10. The employees are super nice and helpful. It's exactly what I need in the mornings to get me through my boring desk job. I Do wish I could go inside as it's a rather large building for a tea shop but I won't knock any points for that. Especially now adays. read more

My fiance and I tried this place on a whim. He is a tea fanatic and was really interested in the idea of a tea soda. When we went - the first time - the service was great and the tea soda was actually really good. I got the Enchantment. The white tea was a good balance with the watermelon and green apple, where the cardamom brought a wonderful warmth to the drink. The soda part actually was really refreshing. The only reason why I am giving a 4 is because of consistency. My fiance demanded that we go back the next day and while the drinks were good, they did not have the same balance. I will say that this place was only open for like four days at the time, so this sentiment might have 100% changed already. It is definitely unique tea place and worth going to again. read more

Good vibes & even better tea! My friend and I decided to hit up Transit Tea during our Sunday walk. And yes, they do take apple pay! I got the Joyride & I can't quite remember what my friend got but we both agreed it was the best decision we made during our walk! Very refreshing and wide variety to choose from. I'll be coming back to try other flavors+the tea snow! read more

I drive so far out of my way to come here. The flavors are not too sweet the ways you can have tea are unique and unlike any cafe or coffee shop. It's a must when I am in the area. read more

I was a HUGE fan of the Transit Tea truck at the Rillito Park farmer's market, so I was thrilled to follow the development of this brick & mortar location and new menu/concept. Transit Tea is not your typical tea shop - they've put so much care into crafting an interesting, unique, and playful menu all centered around quality tea. From sno cones to tea sodas to sparkling or flat tea "straight up" - there's really something for everyone here. I was happy to visit during their soft opening phase and took a recommendation from a helpful team member at the walk-up window. I went with the Trek - a white tea with kiwi and strawberry, and of course, asked for it sparkling because bubbles make EVERYTHING better. It was interesting, flavorful, and delicious. Though I usually stay away from sweetened tea, this was a light sweetness (which is exactly what I asked for) and all the flavors worked really well together. I can't wait to come back and try additional menu items - I've already picked out my next drink (the Hibiscus Tea, sparkling!). I had a chance to meet the owner while picking up my drink, and he was so kind and welcoming. These people KNOW tea - I ship Maya tea to friends across the US - and this is another successful concept that gives so much respect to everything tea can do for our bodies and all the amazing benefits and flavors it holds. Congrats, Transit, and CHEERS! read more

I'm impressed! Wonderlust is my favorite and honestly the only one that I tried. its hard for me to try other teas when yerba mate, passionfruit and cherry blossom already took my heart. Maybe one day I'll have the guts to try something new. Give this place a shot, it's delicious and I always catch myself craving Transit Teas!! read more

LOVE this place. Was super lost and sad when Teavana closed down but this is twenty times better AND local. The tea is amazing hands down. I have to physically drive the long way to avoid stopping EVERY day. I love it and the customer service is always on point. The Tea with bubbles was recommended by the owner and it's now a family fave of ours. read more

If you like iced tea you have to visit transit tea! I can't wait to go back! Nice and helpful service! Great variety for all different tastes! read more

I'm so excited we have this place in Tucson! I don't like coffee so to have a place that is just about tea is amazing! Everything I've tried so far has been good and that's saying something! Unfortunately, I'm just a very picky person by nature. Normally I'm only able to find 1 or 2 things at a place that I like. So I'm absolutely thrilled to say that I have tried 4 teas so far and have enjoyed each one! The menu is very well laid out. It's sorted by tea base. I find this very helpful since I'm not a fan of black teas which is usually the most common type you find for sale. I like that I can just skip that entire section and not have to go line by line looking for a tea that doesn't have a black base. They have the most unique and freshest tasting tea I've ever had. For example, I tried Jaunt (mint base with strawberry). I swear it tasted as though they had just gone outside and picked a bunch of mint off a plant and blended it together with strawberries. The Kaleidoscope (hibiscus base with watermelon/toasted marshmallows) is the most unique thing I've tried. The description sounded really strange but it's marked as one of their favorites, so I gave it a shot. All I can say is that they really picked the perfect name... It's a kaleidoscope of flavor. My favorite part is that it actually tastes like watermelon! Don't get turned off by the marshmallow part. It's very subtle and somehow it works in this blend. read more

Love it, Tiger cola is one of the best teas but so far they've all been pretty good. They are a little pricey but from what I understand, all the syrups are made in house. read more

I've driven past this place at least a dozen times on trips out to Bookman's but never had the forethought to plan ahead or reaction time to pull off and grab a drink. I finally stopped by today and was very into it. The staff member working was friendly, but not cloying with the affected "customer service" personality. I asked for a recommendation and went with the suggested Kismet. A "tea soda" consisting of Tulsi tea with grapefruit and passion fruit and blended with sparkling water for the fizz. The flavor is very refreshing and crisp without being too sweet. The bitterness of the grapefruit pops through first but the passion fruit peaks through nicely on the end. Super-drinkable, very nice. read more

Best tea in Tucson! The cartwheel and whimsical are my go-tos. The staff is always friendly and they even have treats for the pups

Phenomenal service, spectacular flavors, and a plethora of options! My girlfriend and I got a chai tea and a snow tea and we waited maybe 5 minutes until the lady who took our order came out and exclaimed and apologized about us waiting so long for our order (I don't believe we waited long at all) and came back out two minutes later with our order plus FOUR popsicles as a sorry! The chai tea was among the best we've had and they did a miraculous job infusing a watermelon flavor within the snow tea. All of that plus they're local so we are definitely going to be regulars here read more

When I think of tea and soda its not the first combination I would connect, but honestly after a few visits I am a fan. I so far like the Kismet the best, floraly, ginger notes with a fizzy twist. I appreciate that the drinks are just the right amount of sweetness. As the days are getting warmer, driving around doing errands, I like having a transit tea to sip on, i find it refreshing. read more

im obsessed with this place and it has become a daily stop for me. their flavor combinations are so unique and impactful. i have a goal of trying everything on the menu because there are so many options that I have never seen before! transit tea is in the perfect location and I just end up grabbing my drink on the way to U of A! i highly recommend transit tea for your drink needs. their prices are a little high, i don't understand the need to charge $2 for substitution milk in tea lattes, but im just going to refrain from purchasing lattes to solve that problem. luckily their menu is so extensive that i won't have a problem choosing something else! read more
