Tsaocaa - Taro Bubble Milk W. Bubble/ 芋上鲜奶 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This is my favorite spot for Korean Fried Chicken! The meat is sooooo juicy on the inside and fried to perfection on the outside. I got the cheese wings which is just cheese powder that is super tasty but I've tried their saucy ones and those are good too, especially the honey garlic! Their drink selection definitely overwhelms me but the one I tried was pretty good, you can pick your sweetness too which is great! The young worker was nice and was able to help me. I love the vibe inside too, plenty of seating and cute colors!! If you need a KFC spot, this is it!! read more

Best fried chicken ever. I don't typically order food for delivery but I did last spring and Tsaocaa had probably the best fried chicken I have ever had. I think ordering it on prem would've made it a little crisper but it was still fantastic This place also has tons of bubble teas and assorted smoothies and Hong Kong style cakes and egg waffles. I also order one of the mango yogurt drinks which honestly wasn't my favorite - too thick. Id probably try a different drink next time The fried chicken i ordered was the boneless with Honey Garlic sauce on the side Chefs kiss ! read more

We stopped by on Saturday. Drinks and snacks were delicious, and different than any other Boba places we've visited. My husband and daughter requested Thai teas (one with boba) and I got a Lychee green tea (with crystal pearls and a salty milk foam on top). Loved the drinks and the waffles were a fun treat. There was plenty of space in the cafe to meet up for a treat. Service was attentive - drinks were out fast, food took a minute but was worth a few minute wait. Will be back soon! read more

Stopped by Tsaocaa for bubble tea after seeing a movie at the Oriental theatre next door. They were pretty standard drinks. There's a big gap between 30% and 50% sweetness. 30% was just enough for me (and that's coming from someone with a sweet tooth!) I got the taro green tea blended with oat milk, but I preferred my partner's passion fruit tea. Super cute interior and conveniently located. read more

Watermelon foam cheese drink. Refreshing for a hot summer day. Nothing special. The facility needed a little cleaning as it looked like it had been mobbed hours before but the store has just opened? Pro tip: Close to Black Cat Alley- take your drink and mosey around. read more

Tsaocaa - Watermelon tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

It's a great spot to enjoy your bubble tea, it has a lot of spots to sit, and many drink options. I love their drinks, and their to-go bag design, it is very cool! The bubble waffle is just okay, it tastes like a normal waffle, not like the Hong Kong waffles that I have tried from other countries. Overall is a good bubble tea spot! read more

Delicious drinks! The pineapple and passion fruit green tea with jelly was so refreshing. Signature milk tea was good, but I would have preferred more tea to milk ratio. Boba was nice and chewy. It smelled so good of fried chicken as well, so would like to come back and try that! read more

Tsaocaa - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Located next to the Oriental Theater, Tsaocaa is the perfect spot for a bubble tea and maybe a snack. The window lures you in with popular selections from the fairly extensive menu. There's a selection of teas and smoothies and also fried chicken and bubble waffles. The space is clean and there's a seating area where you can settle for awhile. I've taken a book before and lingered with my drink. You order at the counter and they call out your number when it's ready. I was impressed with the purple potato milk tea which was the first thing I tried. There were real chunks of purple potato and purple rice and I think some red beans. There was a lot going on but the result was harmonious and a little surprising. I also liked that you can choose your level of sweetness. I prefer my drinks lightly sweetened. I thought the tea was still plenty sweet. I came back the next day and got the same thing because I kept thinking about it, but I have also tried the brown sugar black tea with bubble and it was good too. I have not tried any of the food yet but it seems like the kind of things that would complement the tea and hit the spot after a trip to the movies or any of the other activities in the area. read more

The place is so cool. I literally watched a movie next door at the oriental theatre and noticed a no wait line. My crew dashed in pronto but not before making sure I ordered first. I ordered brown sugar milk tea w. Bubble blended. The cashier warned us they have a dedicated menu for blended so basically she couldn't guarantee the same taste as not blended. It was delicious!!! We will be back soon!!!! Love the east side of Mil Town. read more

Tsaocaa is one of the best bubble tea spots in Milwaukee. The drinks are consistently fresh with balanced flavors that don't taste overly artificial. They have a great variety of options, and the boba is usually soft and chewy which really stands out. The shop is clean with a modern vibe, and the staff are friendly and efficient even when it's busy. Overall, it's a reliable place that delivers on quality, service, and atmosphere. read more

Tsaocaa is a hidden gem. It's just up the street from a lot of good businesses. The place is super clean and they open promptly at 12:00 PM. Ordering is super easy. There's a touch pad that you can order on. The food came out super quick. I had to let my chicken sandwich cool because I definitely almost burned my mouth. The pineapple green tea was a nice choice for me. In terms of appearance, I was surprised to see more than my boba floating around but I enjoyed having lil pineapple chews in my drink. I'm not sure what the white strips were but the drink was good. read more

A new boba + Korean Fried Chicken + Hong Kong style egg waffles place! Owners are Chinese and they know how to do KFC and egg waffles right haha. The packaging is so cute! We got hot and spicy and soy garlic (classic KFC flavors) for fried chicken and they were delicious. We got delivery so there was like a 40-min prep + drive from fresh and hot. Still very good and we could taste the crispy skins! So that really meant sth. My Hong Kong style matcha egg waffles and 0% sugar lactose free purple potato milk swirl were also very delicious. Highly recommend the 0% sugar purple potato milk swirl - rich, creamy, fresh & full of good purple potato flavor! The matcha egg waffles - you have to eat them when they are hot so that they remain crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside! But still, I like the flavor and because I am actually from that area, I can tell it's pretty authentic even though the delivered ones that I got cooled down already. Teas: Hubby reported that the signature Ruby black milk tea with boba was also pretty good. The tapioca was chewy and fresh! I took a sip and agreed! Sakura milk tea: we were both curious about what Sakura (aka cherry blossom in Japanese) could taste like. It turned out to be like light floral green tea with a slight hint of strawberry. We liked it! Rose oolong milk tea: Rich and full of rose aroma. Also a good tea to choose! read more

I ordered the chicken sandwich with fries and was pretty disappointed. The breading on the chicken was soggy, and the meat itself seemed like leftover scraps--gristly, fatty, and lacking flavor. Definitely not what I was expecting. Hoping it was just an off day, but unfortunately, this one missed the mark. With that being said, the strawberry milk green tea with strawberry Boba was amazing ! read more

Tsaocaa - Chicken Sandwich - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I've been here twice this week. Their taro milk is delicious and they don't use powder--it's real taro. The drink is not artificially sweet, it's perfectly balanced with the milk and the chewy boba. I noticed the boba is lighter in color than other places, so I was expecting the consistency to be off-but it was pleasantly chewy and kept it's consistency as I enjoyed my drink. I hate when it's over cooked and gets soggy before you finish your drink, and again, it was not a concern here. The only reason I deducted a star was it is pretty oily in there. I know they make fried chicken sandwiches however, the scent lingers and sticks to you. Both times I've been in, I've come out smelling like the chicken/oil? It really penetrates your clothing, and I'm wondering if it's a ventilation issue? Again, it doesn't affect the taste of their boba, but it made for a slightly unpleasant experience sitting inside. I would've stepped outside but it was late and there was a lot of police activity outside. I brought someone with me and they also mentioned the lack of ventilation in the building. Overall, drop in for boba. Consider stepping out or going for a stroll if you have mind the smell. read more

Tsaocaa - Taro Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Was craving good boba, and I definitely found it. I will 100% be back to try the chicken. Orders: Mango slush yogurt with purple rice: I was so excited to see purple rice in the topping menu! The yogurt flavor had just the right amount of tartness with a strong mango flavor. I also think there was agar boba inside it, which was a nice surprise. This will likely be my go to order here. No need to try anything else. Mango green milk tea with mango boba 0% sugar: my partner ordered this one. The tea was delicious, but she could have done without the mango boba (fluid filled popping boba). We'll order again without it next time. Service was great. Super friendly staff and quick to get your order out. Very happy with the whole experience! UPDATE (yelp wouldn't let me write another review since I was here yesterday): the chicken is delicious!! Each piece is THICK. Super crispy and they give you the sauce on the side so you can control your flavor. 10/10 would order again. Also came back for more mango yogurt slush drink. This time without the crystal boba. The large pieces of fresh mango were just as good as yesterday. Yum! read more

This is my first time hearing about them, but apparently Tsaocaa has 50+ locations. We just happened to walk by, so I decided to order a drink. I went with their Signature Ruby Black Milk Tea w/ bubble. The tea flavor wasn't too strong. They also sell fried chicken here. read more

I am absolutely LOVING these boba shops opening up around the downtown area. I only really leave my house for 2 things - boba and food. Honestly, I was super shocked seeing this on google maps one day when I was craving boba and made it a mission to check it out the next day. I first tried this brand in Chicago (the location shared with bb.q chicken) and really really enjoyed their drinks. They have a lot of your standard drink options but also some drinks you might not see at the boba shops around here AND HK style egg waffles and fried chicken! The space is pretty big and allows for big and small groups to sit and talk without feeling rushed to grab your drink and go. I'll definitely be back to try the snacks! Welcome to MKE :) read more

Tsaocaa - Strawberry yogurt - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I wanted to like this place and I will give them another try, but honestly, the fried chicken was so greasy I was sick most of the night. The waffles are delightful and the chicken tasted soooo good as I was eating it, but it was super greasy. Maybe it's meant to be enjoyed after heavy drinking or before heavy drinking, but it hurt me. I mean, you can smell the oil when you walk by it which is somewhat off-putting. We ordered online seeking appetizers but the only appetizer-like thing they had was french fries, which we will try next time. Most of the menu is teas and boba teas and other drinks. Anyway, our order was ready when promised and the service was nice. The interior was cute and bright and they have a kiosk from which you can order if you don't want to talk to a person or there's a line. It seemed a little pricey for what you get. Bottom line, will try again. Probably not going with the fried chicken but I may try a chicken sandwich to see if the bread helps with the grease. read more

I've ordered from Tsaocaa a few times when my boba cravings start to hit (the boba cravings are real!) and I've always had a good experience! They have a variety of fun drinks, food, and other sweet treats. I love that their drinks use real fruit and that most of their drinks already comes with toppings! The only reason why I didn't give five stars is because sometimes there's not enough boba (but you can always add extra toppings!) and though I love that they use fresh taro for their drinks, the little bits of taro/texture is a little off putting to me. Overall though, pretty solid place to go for boba! I'll have to try their bubble waffles and food next time! read more

I came in with a couple friends not knowing what I wanted to sum it up, they allowed me to get a new one because I didn't know what I had ordered for my boba. (This probably happen all the time,) they were very nice, positive energy all around. My order Strawberry milk tea w/ green tea And fries The red cap is the one that incorrectly ordered. read more

My visit to Tsaocaa, the new boba shop, had its ups and downs. First impressions matter, and unfortunately, the lack of a greeting upon entering - even with multiple staff at the counter - was a bit of a letdown. On the bright side, their moist chicken sandwich is really good although I ordered a honey garlic sandwich, there was only the tiniest bit of honey garlic on it so it basically tasted like the original chicken. so if you want to taste the sauce on it make sure to ask for extraaaaaaa sauce. As a boba enthusiast, I couldn't resist ordering one of their signature boba drinks. The flavor was on point, and the boba pearls had a great chewy texture. My only gripe was that they skimped a bit on the boba pearls - a little more would have been perfect! A note on the atmosphere: the lively ambiance had its downside. The music was cranked up so high that even though my drink was called three times, I couldn't hear it . Overall, Tsaocaa has a lot of potential with its standout dishes and boba options. The employees defiantly need more training in regards to the food and the service. I would come back but not for a while. read more

Recently moved from Chicago and have been praying I would find a decent place for cheese tea. I tried Uni Uni and Bambu and they were both gross. Tsaocaa is a dream come true. I tried the iced osmanthus milk tea with milk foam (which is another name for cheese top), and it was incredible. I'm a tea snob too, and it's obvious they use loose tea, and know how to brew it correctly. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors, especially since they have ube (purple potato)! read more

The drinks here are super good! A bit pricey but really liked the fruit slushes! The fried chicken is pretty good but super messy, I wish they had an option that wasn't sauce on the side.

Came here to try the Korean fried chicken. Was partially satisfied? The wings came out hot but oily. They weren't sauced either which i found odd. The sauce was in containers for you to dip or douse yourself. I would have liked them to be sauced for me. Soy Garlic flavor is my favorite. The hot n spicy just tasted like gochujang for me. Got fries which were ok. Also got a matcha egg waffle, i wasn't a fan. I was expecting soft pillowy, it came out hard and not soft,Ike it was left in the waffle maker too long. The boba's were good. I would go for half the sugar or no sugar as it came out pretty sweet. Also like others have mentioned there is limited dining in options and you do smell like fried food after being in there. So: order to go, get half or no sugar in your boba drinks and you'll be happy! read more

Drinks and ambiance is great! Happy to get some boba in mke area. Also excited to try the waffles. The spot is spacious and clean however limited seating. Wait time was long and had 2 orders ahead of us. Our drinks came out first but the food order was really long. There were so many people behind the bar but wasn't as efficient as I thought it would be. We ordered chicken wings, fries and boneless wings. The sauce was all in the side. The sauce flavor was decent but why did it take so long?!? They literally threw everything in a fryer. The chicken was extremely oily. Soaked the box it came in. I was really hoping this was going to be great. Waffles was not memorable. Would go back for drinks not food. read more

Very expensive and overwhelming experience. Drinks were good, maybe not worth the price but better than most local competitors.

Love their drinks. Service is ok, no complaints there. Still coming back from time to time to get our favorites. read more

The people who works here are very nice, friendly, and welcoming. They recommend a lot of good stuff.

Service was good but the boba was terrible. Tasted so watered down and the tapioca wasn't cooked well.

The chicken was great. Light and crispy, just how I love it. I'm not a huge bobba fan, but the one I had was as good as anything I've ever had when I lived in LA. Don't expect to dine in though. While the place is not small, it has like 3 tiny tables, and two standing ones. Not a comfortable place to sit and enjoy a meal. I'll prob get food to go in the future. It's just fine if your going in to simply drink bobba. Also, my personal opinion, the music is too loud. How loud? The place wasn't busy, and I had to raise my voice to give my order. The person got my order wrong anyway. But again, the food was great. read more

I tried the strawberry milk green tea with strawberry boba, and the mango mojito today. Both were excellent! I also tried the chicken wings and I would recommend the garlic honey and the secret spicy sauce. I will definitely be back, the customer service is welcoming and so nice.

It's also a great surprise that they have student discounts as long as you bring your student ID! read more
