First boba place I've been to since I've moved to Denver! Looked up for the nearest boba place when I finished shopping at HMart and luckily this establishment was around the corner. It's freakishly way girly inside.. very typical teenage Asian.. it's ok, I'm Asian- I can say that. Anyway.. I ordered the matcha milk tea and it was really good! My husband loved it because the matcha taste was strong where you can feel the griddiness of the matcha. A bit too sweet for me but nonetheless good. Knocking off one start because the tiny boba was overcooked. read more

My boyfriend and I love Volcano Tea House. We stop by every other week to get our milk tea fix. We think the sweetness & ice levels are perfect here compared to other spots we've been to. We've also had a few of their food options and are never disappointed. The space is always clean and they even have board games you can play if you decide to stop in with friends. The workers are also always very nice and we appreciate them so much. We'll always support small businesses over anything! read more

Best bubble tea place in Denver for sure! My boyfriend is Taiwanese and he said this is one of the best places that has bubble tea like how it is in Taiwan! I've tried a few of their milk teas since that's my go to and none have disappointed me! I always get the regular milk tea to compare then go from there. I've tried hazelnut, almond, and Hokkaido. I didn't even know what Hokkaido was but man I am hooked! It's so yummy!!!! The pearls are perfect and they have sooo many other toppings to choose from. I like the mini but I'll do the regular and the egg pudding! So legit. They have some weird toppings in there too that I've never seen before like mochi but I like the idea! They usually have samples out so I go crazy with that. They also have the light bulb that everyone likes! Besides the drink, you gotta try the food! Popcorn chicken is a thing in Taiwan so we get that and my boyfriend says it's pretty darn close! They have different spice levels. I like the hot but we usually do medium since my bf is a wuss. Either way it's delicious! Try some! read more

Volcano Tea House - Do not eat here - Taiwanese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Ordered winter melon in the bulb cup ($5.99) for purchase, two other drinks, and mixed of popcorn chicken and sweet potato fries in mild. My winter melon was super sweet. As you can see in pic, it was not filled up all the way. I asked to give me a lil more tea to balance out the sweetness. Instead of pouring more tea as I requested, she filled it w water from the sink. My popcorn chicken was spicy and was not mild, my baby couldnt eat any. Not only it was spicy, but I pulled out a long strand of hair in front of them. They made me a new one, but it was gross. One advice for this place is make your staff with long hair tied it up at all time. read more

My 2nd Time has been wonderful! I ordered the Hokkaido and the House Milk Tea once again. I had to give it a try once more and t didn't disappoint. The service was fantastic still! There was no one when I came in so I got my drinks pretty fast. Hokkaido with tiny boba was so good. It was the rich and creamy. I've never had a milk tea like this one. I highly recommend. The tiny boba also wasn't as mushy as the first time I had it. It had that chewyness I prefer but still soft. Highly recommend! Love tiny boba. It's now my preference! The House Milk Tea was pretty good the 2nd time around. The 2nd time is the charm! It was really good. The normal sized boba wasn't too chewy and wasn't too hard. I now prefer tiny boba, but normal boba is good too. read more

Volcano Tea House - Cute little wings background & my large mocha slushy w/ coffee jelly & boba ! - Taiwanese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Went out of my way to check out this place. It's a small little shop in Aurora in the H-Mart area. It's filled with cutesie decor (think stuffed animal pillows and decorated plugs). + Tried the blended Japanese matcha, which had a good taste however it did taste heavily like the powder + Lots of seating + Aesthetic feel with the wall art + Plenty of options on the menu. Didn't try their food, but they have interesting food options Not sure if I'd go out of my way to come back to this place, but it was worth the try! read more

You can either go here for the cute and Tiktokable vibe, or you can go for the hand-pulled and hand-shaved noodles, either in soups or stir-fries. Okay I suppose you could do both if your personality is flexible enough. The beef-shank noodle soup makes existence seem a little less futile, and the pork ribs will make you thank pigs for their service. Plus cuttlefish balls and fish tofu (a real mind bender for Westerners accustomed to tofu as punishment for past carnivorous sins) coated in tingly Sichuan spice. Ridiculously low prices too. But I'd gladly pay 8.8% more, or whatever the current inflation rate is. read more

I saw an ad on a new restaurant serving Lanzhou ramen. When we stopped by, we realized it is the same location as Volcano Tea House. They had a small sign on the window to alert the customer you're at the right place. They started serving Chinese style ramen inside about 6 months ago. It is more like a self served type of environment. You order your meal as you would order your boba. We ordered a beef brisket noodles, beef shank noodles, and a strawberry smoothie ( not pictured due to hoarding by toddler). The flavors were quite bland. My husband had to add a lot of chilli oil. They gave a lot of noodles and a decent amount of meat. The meat wasn't very tender and lacking in flavor. Overall, it was nothing spectacular. The strawberry smoothie tasted very artificial and watered down. It was an expensive drink but I don't think they used real fruits to prepare. I definitely had better bobas and smoothies elsewhere, especially since there are a plethora of boba shops in Denver. read more

Very cute place to bring a date! Just wish the drinks were better tasting. To be fair, it always takes a little time to perfect the recipes in a new establishment. I ordered the green tea flavored with mango and egg pudding, my hubby ordered his usual milk tea with grass jelly and my friend ordered black tea with boba. We also got some popcorn chicken! As some of the other reviewers commented, I agree that the tea is a bit bland and the egg pudding was more jello-y than creamy/soft. My husband said his drink was just OK and the chicken was salty. My friend thought her drink was too sweet. Overall it wasn't bad, just not great. I'll be back again, always gotta try things at least twice! read more

Volcano Tea House - Green tea flavored with mango + egg pudding! - Taiwanese Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Drop by last Friday and have some oolong milk tea with fish ball and popcorn chicken. As expected for no dine in but it's back to business! Great milk tea! Edit: I forget to mention about location. If you are facing Hmart, it's on the left side of Hmart and there's plenty of parking. And also they served noodles and other food items too. read more

Yay! Another boba franchise has made it to Colorado. Back at UCLA, I used to get Volcano pretty regularly so this location opening up got me all nostalgic. First thing you'll notice is that the interior is SO CUTE! Everything is so bright and Instagram-worthy from the geometric wallpaper to the cute pastel tables and chairs. They currently don't have the traditional panel-style menu that all of the other boba places here have, but they have a small laminated menu in front of the register. I ordered one of my all-time faves, Hokkaido milk tea. Hokkaido milk tea is supposed to emulate the flavor of Hokkaido milk which is sweeter and creamier than regular milk. It has a caramel-y flavor and I enjoyed Volcano's rendition a lot. I ordered it with egg pudding which was also really good. My boyfriend ordered their house milk tea with tiny boba and coconut jelly. He liked the milk tea, but didn't care for the toppings too much. The owner was very sweet and I hope Volcano is successful! I'll be back next time I'm in Aurora. read more

Coming from Phoenix and Houston, one of the things I missed regularly was a decent place for milk teas and snacks like basil popcorn chicken. That's why I was so excited to come check Volcano Tea House out, when it just opened for a few weeks. I showed up around 11am on a Saturday and was the only one there, besides the staff. Normally I would go with my usual order, house milk tea, half or 3/4 sweet with coffee jelly and sometimes adding a side of popcorn chicken; if I'm feeling extra "fluffy" that day. For that visit, I decided to change it up and order a Hokkaido milk tea instead. Sadly, it was disappointing. Not only it was super sweet (that was kinda my fault for forgetting to request a lower level of sweet), the milk tea itself has a strange flavor that I wasn't into. So much for feeling adventurous that day. Next time I'll stick with what I know would taste good. Overall, the staff was nice. They have a cute and simple decor. I can see parking can be a bit tight, if they get busy. I'll come back again to try other things on their menu but honestly, Denver's milk tea scene still has a long way to go from Cali or Houston. read more

I've never dump out my boba in the sink. The milk tea itself is very artificial tasting and watered down. The boba was mushy not chewy. Its almost like eating jello. Cute interior of the store but the restroom is in a dark sketchy alley read more

So good to have Volcano coming to Denver!! I love the Volcano in Los Angelas and this one in Denver didn't disappoint me! Their interior design is supper cute and makes me comfy. The pinky wall and the wings are really special and many customers take pictures there. So as me! Here must be a wonderful place for hanging out with families and friends and having a tea time. Also, the owner and coworkers are friendly and nice. They asked us about suggestions and how we like the teas and foods. I have been there three times for teas and their snacks! Their popcorn chicken is so good as well as the fish tofu. My friend ordered their lobster balls and she like those too. I tried the mild spicy and it's really good to me. I am a big fan of black tea and I tried peach black tea and strawberry black tea, which were both pretty good! I tried their oolong milk tea with grass jelly today. It comes really oolong tea flavored! One more need to mentioned is their tiny boba. It is so soft and mini cuteeeee! They have many toppings for drinks, such as puddings, aloe, lychee jelly and Will come again for sure!!!!! read more

The handmade noodles are so good. The price is cheap compare to the portion of meat, veggie and noodles in the bowl.!

Your standard, powdered bubble tea, with its distinctive, slightly burnt, taste. After going to Mini Moo's earlier in the day on my way back from Park Meadows, I came here to meet a friend, to be greeted by the exact same taste as earlier in the day- deja vu, if you will. Bubbles are pretty standard, not honey bubbles, and the interior is alright- to be honest, a cheap attempt at emulating trendiness. With so many new bubble tea places in Denver, this one is a skip- don't bother to come here, especially if you're in Aurora, with so many new places, this is one to pass. read more

Rejoice! There is at last good boba and snacks to be had in Aurora, CO! This will most definitely be a regular pit stop of mine. I ordered the lavender milk tea with regular boba. I thought milk tea was a bit too rich, but I liked the subtle lavender flavor, which at other boba chains can be overwhelming. But tea aside, I thought the boba was fantastic; it had the perfect chew. Very Q. We also ordered some popcorn chicken and warm grass jelly to share, and both were made well. So far I am very pleased with this tea house! read more

My boyfriend surprised me today with boba from here today, just a few days after my previous post. I didn't tell him of my last review until tonight, so he didn't know to get the less sweet honeydew milk tea. To my surprise, it wasn't too sweet! They've must've changed the recipe or the person working didn't add in too much sugar. It was delicious and awesome! read more

I was born in Taiwan so I know how Taiwanese food should taste like. Boba tea wasn't bad. I like how you can choose the sweetness. Staff was friendly. I ordered popcorn chicken. It was the worst popcorn chicken ever. I ordered medium spicy, it wasn't spicy at all. There was no chicken, just batter. Way too chewy, like rubber. I was thinking about going back here to try the beef brisket noodle soup. Now I probably won't. read more

Came here after playing some VR games in the building next door. No one was there so we got first service and it was really fast. The lady was super nice and made our drinks and food really fast and delicious. We ended up getting some milk teas, fries and popcorn chicken. It was great, place had nice decor and good music playing. Would come back again. read more

I visited a while back. Cute wall art, but the boba is mediocre that allow would be enough to make me not come back, but I also got hair in my drink. Not to be dramatic, I know a strain of hair is not going to kill anyone but it off-putting and it a bad experience you know? I must say though I give 2 stars just because the owner or staff that serve me that day was very very nice. He kindly offers to replace the drink. I didn't take him up on it, but this nice man is the only thing I found memorable about this find. read more

Disclaimer: I hail from the land of honey boba (California) and have a different set of tea and tapioca expectations. I'm new to Denver, and while there are many things I absolutely love about being here... Oh, how I miss a good tea and tender, slightly sweetened boba. So I set out for the very first time to satiate this craving. Volcano Tea is nestled in a predominantly Asian shopping complex next to a KBBQ restaurant. Totally promising there. The Oolong and Jasmine teas were not bad, but also weren't memorable. I was however pleasantly surprised with the Winter Melon, which was very true to taste, and the Matcha Green tea which did not seem to skimp on the macha. Sweetness and ice are also customizable. As for the boba, it was slightly sweetened, not very flavored, and the texture was unfortunately sub-par. It was a little hard in the middle, either slightly undercooked or a little old. Either way, it only partially satisfied my boba craving. Bottom line: I'll probably return because boba options are slim in this area. Well to do, but not high on my boba list. read more

So I stopped here with my wife so she could grab a tea. I waited in the car and when she came back out she was telling me that they also had a small food menu that includes hand pulled or hand shaved noodles. We are originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, and we have had real hand pulled noodles in Chinatown. It is definitely something we miss from back home. If you have ever had real hand pulled noodles it is a real treat, especially when done correctly. Well don't be fooled by this place, because they are definitely serving manufactured chow mein style noodles that they just heat up. The meat that they served with it was also quite dry, with a lot of tendon. We also got an order of the char siu bao and these also seem to be like any you could buy at H Mart or POM and just heat up at home. There bubble tea is OK. Not the best, not the worst. I just would not go back there for any of their food. read more

Milk Tea and pork buns tasted old and bad. I had high hopes but will not be going back. The place also had a funny smell.

Very tasty! The go really light on the ice without you needing to ask. Just enough to make it cold, so you actually get your money's worth. The tea was sweet but not too sweet and very good boba. I do recommend and I will be back. Staff was very friendly too read more

Drinks: 3-4/5 Food: 2-3/5 Customer service: 1-2/5 I've been to Volcano a couple of times now and still find myself... underwhelmed each time I've made the trip. Parking is tight more often than not so beware. I'd recommend going earlier in the day or not on weekends. The place is cute overall but not super impressive (I could get everything in there from Ikea but nothing wrong with that). The drinks are ok - sometimes it has its good days and other times, well, not so great. Drinks often feel rushed and unfinished. For example, drinks like the house milk tea taste watered down and other drinks like lavender milk tea aren't mixed enough so it tastes very grainy/powdery. Really love the toppings though and I would recommend rose milk tea. When made right its the perfect combination between sweet and not too sweet + it's a unique flavor (at least to me). The chicken tastes pretty good but overall wouldn't really recommend getting the food. I've found it to be a waste of money to be honest. Seems like each time I've ordered, I get lots and lots of food bits, seasoned dust, and a whole bunch of nothing. Customer service here I'd say is the biggest disappointment. Workers come off as kind of rude. They seem more interested in their phones or talking to each other than working with the customer. The feeling of being ignored is not an uncommon one. There are a few nice workers but the majority always makes me feel pressured to order right away because I'm bothering them. Overall unfriendly attitude... I may give it a couple more chances but I feel like there are better places to go to if you have the time! read more

This was the first tea place where I was charged to add boba in my taro milk tea. I was surprised why are they charging me for it but I saw they had multiple toppings to add to milk tea. We had taken a quick take out and the tea was tasted fresh and perfect, not too sugary or strong! The place has a pleasant ambiance with some nice seating area inside. I found yelp coupon of 10% off which anyone can use it if they visit next time. Tea house has enough of parking area and is at a prime location. I really liked this place but I truly feel they should not charge for boba toppings. read more

I've had some up and down experiences here. On a good day, it's by far the best boba in Colorado. On a bad day, the texture is off and it tastes artificial. I think they don't make it fresh throughout the day, so it sometimes sits and that's why I've had such varied experiences. Beyond that, I've gotta level, the vibe is weird, but the drinks are good (with the exception of the jasmine milk tea which tastes just completely wrong). And yeah. I'd recommend it, it's much better than the alternatives. read more

Came here looking for our first boba tea experience and had an amazing one! We walked in and were overwhelmed by the options and asked questions. We asked about what is certain things and then also recommendations. What we got was a great attentive experience (no one in line so he warmed up and took the time to help us mid day). We got samples of what a popping boba was which is a slimy tapioca pocket of flavor, like if you were to only eat the center of a gusher. I enjoyed a green tea with mango and thoroughly enjoyed it. The parking lot is a bit difficult with potholes and needs repair but overall very cool spot (worth noting that it is in an Asian shopping center) and yet we saw a variety of ethnicities during our 10 min stop. read more

Super cutesy place. Love the k pop music, white and pink design and bright atmosphere. The staff is welcoming and friendly. The drinks are creamy and they use non dairy creamer (so people with lactose intolerance can drink this milk tea!) read more

I 'ordered' a watermelon juice here, only to have both the barista and cashier tell me that they don't have watermelon juice, only watermelon slushes, which is the exact opposite of what the menu says. I told them that that was fine and that I would take the slush, but they somehow misunderstood and took it as me saying I didn't want it. After waiting for a while, I asked the cashier if my drink was being made and he told me that I did not place the order, and he was backed up by his barista. They did not apologize for the miscommunication. I acknowledge that communication is two ways, but they pushed the blame on me. Not worth that headache. Silver lining - I tried my sisters lemonade slush and it had decent taste. read more

Been to Volcano for many times. Overall their drinks and snacks are pretty good. Especially there are no other boba stores in Denver that serves food. Popcorn chicken is pretty authentic compared to what I had in Cali. Recently they have coconut boom as a dessert and it is soooo delicious. It's like jelly but in the real coconut! A Little expensive but fair since you can never get it other place. Also I tried their rainbow fruit tea and they were not disappointed at all. In fact, it was unexpected flavor. Never see it anywhere before. They put real fruit inside which u can have the fruit after done with the drink. It's just so perfect for summer! read more

Wait, what's that burbling, rumbling sound I just heard? It almost seemed like an eruption of sorts - but a good, enthusiastic kind. Why, it's fans of the California-based Volcano Tea House cheering about the opening of the new Aurora branch at Parker/Yale! Volcano began with the aim of promoting the tasty tea-and-snack culture found in Taiwan. The Aurora outpost's elegantly-decorated space, with its soothing pastel colors, creates a very conducive environment to hanging out and enjoying the beverage or your choice for a while. And indeed, there are some lovely libations to choose from. Imagine the richest, most decadent Royal Milk Tea you've tasted (stop drooling, that's just nasty) and multiply it by twenty. Why yes, you've got Hokkaido Milk Tea. Despite being named for the northern Japanese island (home of the cows providing that extra-creamy milk), this is in fact a much-loved beverage in Taiwan too. You can also get super-healthy with Misugaru - traditionally made with a blend of ground beans and grains, it'll fill you right up. Or how about a seasonal special with melon or strawberry? And those are just a few for you to consider. But having titillated you about Volcano's drink roster, I suppose I should discuss their snack array a bit too. This is still being refined somewhat, but an always popular choice are the spiced fried offerings of chicken and squid (in the latter case, sometimes they have the rings, sometimes they have the balls... you get the idea). You can have both of these in mild, medium and hot versions, but I should let you know in advance that even the mild rendition has a bit of a kick (you're welcome!). Either way they'll crackle satisfyingly before melting in your mouth. Or how about some puffy-squishy sweet potato fries? Then again, if you want to think outside the plate, why not try Shao Xian Cao - warm grass jelly with toppings like Hong Dou (red beans), Lu Hui (aloe chunks), taro pudding (you can get all these in your drinks too!). So experience a kaboom of a different sort at Volcano Tea House in beautiful Aurora. read more
