A really cute boba shop near Purdue University which is perfect to grab a quick drink or stay and study. They have a large assortment of flavors for their boba and their pearls were a great texture. I loved the interior design. read more

Loved the ease of ordering and the many options available. Tried this place twice during graduation weekend and was very happy with the items I ordered. Tasted fresh and was refreshing. read more

I've been to your store many times before. The amount of mochi I get consistently decreases. This time I got tiny scoops that resemble the size of a quarter. I pay extra for the toppings, but barely get any. This is complete greed and selfish at its finest. Ironically, when I order on DoorDash they happens to much more. Highly not recommended read more

Tsaocaa - Watermelon tea with little to no mochi topping - Bubble Tea Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

I've come here a lot with my partner and this is my favorite boba place in West Lafayette! The self-service kiosks are nice just because they have so many that you can always walk in and order without a wait. They make drinks super quickly and don't forget about their punch card! There's lots of seating but it's normally loud because of Purdue students so I tend to walk in, walk out. The boba here can be a hit or miss on sugar levels. I'd say you're safe to go 100% because they're NEVER too sweet (or even like...sweet), but earlier in October, we ordered a hot Ube milk tea at 100% sugar level and it tasted like drinking melted ice cream, way too sweet. Iced drinks should be fine though! I've never had issues with the pearls, they've always been a perfect amount of chewy. There are ENDLESS options here, my recommendations are the Ube Milk Green Tea (not super Ube but it's okay) and the Osmanthus Milk Tea. Definitely visit! read more

So many flavors to choose from and everything we've tried so far is so delicious! Nice place to hang out on campus.

Incredible boba, the menu is so diverse and gives an option for everyone! Super quick service, never have to wait long even when they're busy. It tends to be loud but a very fun atmosphere. read more

Love their yogurt drinks, especially the lychee yogurt with crystal boba is my fav. Their service is fast and I like the self ordering service where I can take my time to think how to customize my drink! read more

As a visitor from California, I did not have high expectations for finding good Asian delicacies near Purdue, especially after some events that happened my first night. However, I'm glad to have found Tsaocaa on my third day. On my first visit, I ordered a Hong Kong style milk tea. The tea tasted mature and savory - not too sweet. HK- style milk tea tends to be this flavor, and I was impressed that they were able to reproduce authentic HK-style milk tea as many places often over sweeten it even after a 50% sugar adjustment. On my second visit, I tried their special Ube iced milk drink with boba. Ube is special ingredient, and I think most boba shops carry taro because it is readily available as a powder and "easier" to mix into drinks. The ube ordered from Tsaochaa was beautifully drizzled around the cup, and pearls and red bean formed the foundation for the iced milk drink. I ordered this in 50% sweetness and less ice. Again, another perfect drink. On my third visit, I tried their 3 black milk tea without milk foam, since I am not a fan of foam. I laughed at myself for ordering it since it was like a regular milk tea, but again the drink was PERFECT at half sugar and less ice. Who knew that grass jelly, red bean, and boba would be delicious toppings for a well-made yet simple milk tea? I will for sure be returning before I fly home for California and am grateful to have found Tsaochaa which has helped ease some of my homesickness during my week at Purdue. read more

The cup has a yellow sealed lid with black text and a straw attached to the side. The drink appears to have a layered appearance with purple rice at the bottom and purple and white swirls throughout. The setting is a metallic table, with other drinks and a person in the background. - Bubble Tea Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Great boba near Purdue campus! Convenient location and the drinks are pretty consistent in quality. There are soooo many different flavors to choose from! Sometimes the boba pearls can be really tough, making it somewhat impossible to chew. But there have been times when the boba pearls were a great texture. Unfortunately, the boba here can be hit or miss because of this. Otherwise, the drinks are satisfying and fulfill my boba cravings. I love the matcha, thai tea, and taro flavors. Inside is cute and has a good amount of seating. The self-order kiosk machines are also a nice touch. Overall, a classic boba spot to stop by after class and lots of yummy flavors to try. read more

This is some gourmet Bubble Tea. It was actually had to find regular boba. In fact, j didn't find it! But what I did find was pretty good. Fast service, excellent flavor and a wide variety. Order at the self service kiosks and your name will be called when it's ready. Lots of seating. Some food is available, I didn't try it. I will try it agai read more

Wasn't sure at first, but ended up having a great time studying! The shop is filled with book nooks and colorful plushies. I also liked that you order your food on a tablet and you can customize how much sugar content you want or things like that. Definitely worth trying :) read more

Tsaocaa - Jasmine milk tea, 50% sugar - Bubble Tea Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Best boba shop in town. Kind of pricey, but so it everything else nowadays. Boba is really good. Always come here when I'm near Chauncey. So much variety in terms of drinks, feel bad for the workers who have to make all of them. Cute vibes inside the place too. read more

Tsaocaa - Lychee Smoothie - Two people are holding bubble tea drinks with pink-colored beverages in clear plastic cups with lids and straws. One person wears a black sleeve, and the other wears a gray sleeve. The drinks are held over a sidewalk with outdoor seating, including black tables and benches, and a street with cars passing by in the background. The scene is outdoors during daylight. - Bubble Tea Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

One of my favorite places to go for boba! At first I tried to try every drink and got through a good chunk of the menu, but I kept coming back to my favorites (the taro milk tea really grew on me!!) I love how its so close to campus, and the staff are always friendly :) read more

Ordered delivery of the king of oolong milk tea and there was a bug sitting right on top. I mean how do you miss a bug sitting right on top of the milk tea... not sure how it happens read more

Refreshing bubble tea location in West Lafayette. I had the mango milk tea with boba here and it was excellent. Small location. They are socially distanced right now--the counter area is blocked off with tables, so they take your order a distance away. They took my order quickly and had it ready to go. It also looks like they offer up a punch card for frequent customers. read more

Tsaocaa - Bubble Tea Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Came here on a whim because I happened to be in the area for some family stuff, and I was really craving some boba. Didn't realize a Tsaocaa has recently opened up! Ordered the taro milk tea with egg pudding. My drink was incorrect and didn't come with egg pudding but rather boba. They very nicely took my drink back and put in egg pudding! The egg pudding here is so silky! Not in a bad way. I'm usually used to it being more firm, but I actually really liked the texture. It paired well with my drink. I guess it was also a stroke of luck that my drink came with the bubbles too because their tapioca is actually really good. It has a nice chewy center with a softer outside. I ordered my drink with less ice and half sugar, which is what I usually do as I find taro to be on the sweeter side to begin with. I really like their half sugar option! Overall, wish this were closer to me. But maybe it's better they aren't since I would frequent this place 1-2x a week. There is free parking in a structure near by or free street parking on weekends! read more

Fantastic better pick over Hi-Tea and La-Tea with fun atmosphere, friendly service, and typical indulgent menu options. They are missing alternative milks, really hoped for coconut and macadamia options especially with the higher prices there fancy teas call up around here. I had a rose tea that got me forgetting first world problems despite the easy access right on campus location still need to wonder over up or down to get outdoor seating. read more

My friends and I love trying different bubble tea places and they were super excited to tell me that Tsaocaa just opened up a branch in West Lafayette! I've tried the Indianapolis branch so I was curious to see if there were any differences. The interior was decorated with such cute decor, with a big fluffy bear that greeted us at the door. There were a handful of tables near the middle and the back of the store, where many students were studying (there were lots of outlets lined up against the walls - a necessity as a college student!). The menu was a little overwhelming because of all the different choices. I went with the lychee smoothie with crystal pearls and milk foam. I've never had crystal pearls but they reminded me of harder balls of jelly, not too sweet which I liked. The milk foam was super good!! Probably one of the best that I've had so far. The flavor was balanced perfectly and wasn't overpowering the tea at all. I enjoyed the lychee smoothie, although it was a bit too icy for my taste. Only reason why I couldn't give Tsacoaa 5 stars is because the drinks are expensive. :( $6 for my drink is too pricy for me. read more

Lots of drink menu items and customization! Matcha bubble waffles were fresh and warm, super bingeable. Another popular spot for students and townies, but still relatively fast service (orders done by kiosk and drink making is pretty fast) read more

Great location with a diverse menu and tasty bubble tea at reasonable prices. Maybe not as much space as it should have considering the heavy traffic it has coming in and out but nevertheless. The Brown Sugar Milk Tea is delicious and the Strawberry one tastes like strawberry so if that's your cup of TEA hahaha I totally recommend. Their system for giving you your order though is wack. They just scream your name out and it's a loud, busy atmosphere so you might not even hear it if your not paying attention. Nevertheless. Delicious and affordable! read more

Tsaocaa - Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Strawberry Bubble Milk - A woman with glasses and dark, shoulder-length hair is seated at a table in a casual restaurant, holding two bubble tea drinks with tapioca pearls. She is making a peace sign with her right hand and smiling slightly. The table has a red wallet and a plastic bag with colorful items. In the background, a young man in a white t-shirt and shorts is standing, and other patrons are seated at tables. The setting appears to be a bubble tea shop or casual dining area with modern decor. - Bubble Tea Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

BEST BOBA TEA EVER! I got the lychee green tea with milk foam (75% sweetness) and Nata jellies and...it was HEAVENLY! The saltiness in the foam was a great balance with the sweetness of the tea and there was enough to have some with every sip - so yummy! I wish I lived close by so I could go here everyday! Then again I may go broke spending all my money on bubble tea ^_^ it would be totally worth it though read more

Nothing like old school bubble tea - we were so overwhelmed by the menu, so many options! I liked the order screens as you could see photos and take the time to customize your drink. Also love that you determine the added sugar, 0-100%. We tried the jasmine & taro. Both were delicious. Really fun experience. read more

Tsaocaa - Taro & Jasmine - Two bubble tea drinks in plastic cups with lids and straws are positioned on a white table. One drink is purple with black tapioca pearls at the bottom, and the other is pink with similar tapioca pearls. A small, decorative potted succulent plant with green leaves is also on the table. The background is blurred, indicating an indoor setting, likely a bubble tea shop. - Bubble Tea Near Me - West Lafayette, Indiana

Favorite spot for bubble tea! Love the kiask ordering system. Workers are super friendly too! I've loved every drink I've had from here. Highly recommend! read more

Good atmosphere. Great to sit and chat. You have to order at kiosk so not much customer interaction. Fast service. Great variety and description of drinks. New yogurt was not as sweet as I thought it would be. Next time will have to add fruit. read more

They have great boba and a selection of deserts and cute rewards for loyal customers. I love going up here when up in Lafayette!

The workers are very fast at giving out orders and with perfection! Even at 75%, the boba is never TOO sweet, which is where so many other boba places fall flat. I absolutely love this place and it's always fairly clean. It's a popular spot though, so be warned of lines! read more

Tsaocaa - Ube boba - A person holds a large bubble tea from Tsaocaa, with purple and white swirls visible through the transparent cup.

I come here every week, sometimes twice a week. I love the brown sugar milk black tea, the milk purees, and the sodas. The boba is always very consistent and the vibes are immaculate. The staff is super nice as well. I love this place! read more

The best boba place in town! Always busy, but don't expect to be waiting for your drink for more than five minutes. They offer contactless ordering, making it super convenient to order quickly. Various boba and jelly options, and dozens of drink types. Highly recommend the peach oolong tea, strawberry milk, mango milk tea, & ruby milk tea with lychee jelly and mango popping boba. read more

Came here on a bustling saturday afternoon and ordered their ruby milk black tea. My friends got the same thing, but with different variations such as the cheesy (?) thick, creamy milk foam. I really enjoyed the novel cups and variety on the menu, but I would have appreciated a faster turnaround and cheaper bubble tea. This, however, is easily one of the best places for bubble tea at Purdue besides Latea! read more

Very interesting and quirky drinks for someone of a non-student generation. Very quick and efficient.

Love their milk foam! I add it to as many drinks as possible but it seems to work best with the teas and less so with the fruit drinks. Lines can get sort of long read more

best boba in WL tbh. Grapefruit green tea slushie with grapefruit jelly & boba is a great order for the summer. Atmosphere is nice, orders are made quickly! support them! read more

The store has a bad attitude and the product is leaked. Never purchase it again. The price is higher than many brands but the quality is bad. read more

Nice cafe, lots of selection. Loved the mango milk with boba! Had it twice already. Highly recommend.

Love this place, it's close to campus and has amazing fruit teas with fresh fruit in it! The lychee is amazing and boba is great. I've tried Latea, Kung fu tea and bohe and I just like this place's atmosphere and menu the most. I recommend the peach oolong green tea with nata jelly if you like fruit ! read more

i love every drink i've ordered here! the prices are similar to other places i've been and i consider them to be fair

Best Boba at Purdue. I would highly recommend their oolong milk tea. Super easy to order on their kiosk.

Got a peach oolong milk tea and it was very good, problem is that it didn't taste much at all like peach. But it was still good. Their boba was super disappointing unfortunately. Was flavorless and not very chewy. Very cute environment and lovely cups. I appreciate the pick up system of using the small disks to tell you your drink is ready. It was helpful since we couldn't hear very well. I had previously gone to their Indy branch and they had popping boba, but not here. The staff at the Indy store wasn't the most welcoming but the person who took my order here was very smiley and kind so that was a good difference. read more
