If you're looking for your knees to pop a little when you sit down, this is the place for you haha. Go support your local small businesses! I got the ube ice milk at 50% sugar and it was delish! There's only one size and it's pretty big. I definitely recommend mixing it super well with the coated ube on the sides of the cup, otherwise you're just gonna taste the milk. I loved it though cause it felt like I was getting different layers of the drink based on how much ube I had mixed in- very high quality milk and drink. I would totally recommend! My roommate got their strawberry matcha, and we watched them make their matcha and 100% authentic, it's not just some concentrate, we watched them mix the matcha with the designated whisk- super high quality and she loved it too. I had a sip and their boba quality is also 10/10, super super chewy and nice! The guy behind the counter was also really kind- very quick service, patient with you as you look at their wonderful menu. You can also ask to sample some of their toppings to make a well-informed decision for yourself. They also have little gifts you can buy in the form of tea, popping boba, or even cute boba/drink carriers. Also, they have a cute interactive wall where you can write a note or draw some pictures. Would be back again! Personally think it would be fun if there were also board games around too!

| Overview + Brown…read moreSugar Ice Milk is deliciously creamy + Boba texture is perfect + Decent milk tea size in a cute cup with "ears" + Good selection of fruit teas, smoothies & iced coffee drinks + Cool ambiance + Fast customer service - Boba cost extra for Brown Sugar Ice Milk - Taro milk tea here is made of powder / other ingredients look artificial - Various toppings in the open - are they clean? - Menu is purely drinks; no desserts or snacks | Full Review Located in a corner of the Hope Valley Commons shopping area, Bapu Teahouse Durham looks inviting from the outside with its cool boba milk tea structure by the cafe's front door, showing Bapu's simple logo outside. Bapu's ambiance inside looks artsy, with cute aesthetics and cool atmosphere. What stood out to me was the assortment of toppings displayed. The good thing: they look pretty colorful and fresh; the not-so-good thing: they're uncovered, so I'm not sure if they're clean. Nonetheless, it's convenient to see the different topping options you can add to your milk tea. I noticed Bapu uses the artificial purple taro powder for its milk tea instead of taro paste, so I eliminated that choice from my milk tea selection process. There was only one young employee who took orders and also made the milk teas when I went, but his customer service was good as he made fine recommendations and served my order fast. Unlike Boba Baba's eye-aching menu screens, Bapu Teahouse's menu overhead looks clear with photos, highlighting its special drinks. There are no kiosks here, so you'd have to order face-to-face. As the server recommended, I ordered the Brown Sugar Ice Milk (75% sweetness, light ice). It doesn't look as Instagram-worthy as Tiger Sugar's brown sugar milk teas, but it looks yummy enough, with brown sugar syrup clearly visible in Bapu's cute & translucent cup with ears. Bapu only serves 1 size for its drinks. When I ordered this, the server asked if I wanted boba. Most decent milk tea cafes I go to automatically already have the basic tapioca pearls or boba by default in their brown sugar milk tea drinks but Bapu charges extra for that. Brown Sugar Ice Milk is listed as $6. With the boba topping, I ended up paying a total of $7.76, which is slightly higher than average price of brown sugar boba milk teas in cafes I've been to. Compare that to Feng Cha in Morrisville, which offers Dirty Boba (brown sugar milk tea for only $6.25 with the boba already included, so Bapu's pricing here sounds like a joke. To be fair, the size of the cup is large enough, with its cute top that reminds me of Doraemon or Hello Kitty. The material of it doesn't look cheap and it feels fun to hold. The sweetness of the brown sugar flavor was just right. It might have been too sweet if it was set to 100% sweetness level, and it's still probably slightly sweet at 50% but my usual preference of 75% for any brown sugar milk tea was perfect here. The milk was deliciously-creamy with the fresh & chewy boba - perfect texture. Server did a good job blending with just the right amount of ice, good amount of brown sugar syrup & boba. It's not on the same level as Boba Baba's Brown Sugar Boba or Tiger Sugar's brown sugar drinks but it's better than many mediocre brown sugar milk teas I've tried in other cafes. Bapu Teahouse's menu is purely drinks, with a nice variety of milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies & iced coffee. Sadly, there are no snack or non-drink dessert options here that you can pair with your milk tea. It's not a big deal if you're only craving for a drink, and it looks like Bapu has a good selection of toppings to customize your order. Just prepare to pay extra for those. | Overall Score: 3.4/5 | Recommended Alternative: Sharetea in Morrisville

The first time we went astonished us the moment we entered. The logo and the "Chapel Hill Mogo Tee" signage on the wall, the impressive menu of various teas, the 2 kiosks for ordering, the neat seats, fresh fruits inside the glass case, bright and clean spaces that make Moge Tee an inviting cafe to sip cha and/or enjoy delicious desserts. It was the complete opposite of Tiger Sugar's ambiance in Cary, NC (previously reviewed). Moge Tee's vast selection of milk teas & fruit teas with cheese foam, fruit Yakult, milk swirls, matcha, and Thai varieties can satisfy almost any tea lover's craving. Two uncommon ingredients stood out the first time we viewed Moge's menu: red bean & creme brulee. Average milk tea cafes likely don't have either of these ingredients, so when we saw that Moge offers both as part of some of its teas, we knew that this milk tea cafe is clearly beyond average. Established in mainland China, the Moge Tee franchise has stores operating globally, with locations in China, Southeast Asia, Australia & North America. According to its website, Moge Tee has grown its presence in the U.S. since 2018. Out of the global milk tea franchises we've tried, Moge Tee is our new favorite, and ranks above SharedTea, Kung Fu Tea, Meet Fresh & Quickly. It might be on the same level as Tiger Sugar in terms of overall drink quality & selection but Tiger Sugar probably does brown sugar milk drinks better; whereas Moge Tee tries to cater more to different tea preferences, and from the 4 drinks we've tasted so far, we think Moge does a pretty good job at that. Here are my thoughts on the 4 large drinks we've tried in our first 2 visits (Note: we took sips of each other's drinks so could review what my girl ordered): 1. Red Bean Milk Tea + Creme Brulee (75% sweetness, light ice) - It was creamy but not as creme brulee in this drink didn't stand out as much as the Brown Sugar Boba in Boba Baba in Cary (previously reviewed). The best part if this drink was the red beans that went well with the milk tea. 2. Matcha Milk Tea with Creme Brulee (50% sweetness level) - unique mix of matcha & creme brulee. Mildly sweet and would please matcha lovers. 3. Fresh Taro Boba Milk Tea - Uses fresh organic taro instead of the cheap purple taro powder that many milk tea shops use. Cashier said that sweetness level can't be adjusted here, and I assumed that it was because the fresh taro already adds its natural sweetness. But when I first sipped it, it was not sweet at all, but it tasted refreshing, and I prefer this over classic taro milk tea made of powder. It reminded me of the taro milk tea I tried in Grand Asia but this is less sweet, so if you're craving for sweet milk tea, I wouldn't recommend this. There seems to be a minimal amount of a boba, which seems fine for this kind of drink. 4. Coco Red Bean (50% sweetness level) - My girl ordered this drink and we both think that this is the best and most unique drink we've tried in Moge Tee. The combination of coconut milk, red bean & ice tasted super delicious. Every sip tasted rich & sweet, and the red beans added that special flavor you won't find in many milk tea cafes. Other than the milk teas, we enjoyed the creme brulee dessert ($3+). We already ordered a total of 7 creme brulees. This is more affordable than the $6 caramel custard in that Brecotea, so the value here in Moge is so much better. The layer of cameralized sugar on top and its custard base taste fantastic. It's a great dessert to pair with milk tea, especially if the milk tea is just mildly sweet. There were some minor flaws in our tea-venturing experience of our 2nd visit in Moge Tee. This time, both kiosks were not working, so we had to order in front, and when we tried to, the guy cashier said system wasn't ready, so we had to wait a few minutes before we could order. The guy cashier wasn't as friendly as Nico from Boba Baba but he did answer my question about the fresh taro boba clearly. Brown Sugar boba was also not available in our 2nd visit. While Moge Tee in downtown Chapel Hill may not have the best customer service, it still exceeded our expectations when it comes to its overall milk tea quality, fresh ingredients, and inviting ambiance. It's the 7th cafe that made it to my "Best Milk Tea Cafes in the Triangle NC" Yelp Collection. Overall Score: 4.7/5

They're one of the few places Ive been to that offers lactaid as a milk option and I truly believe lactaid is the best milk for milk teas, so I absolutely love this option. The staff is very pleasant and kind, however they weren't very knowledgeable about tea. When I asked what type of black tea they used, all 3 employees were perplexed and said "it just says black." Upon tasting it, I could tell it was Ceylon, which is one of my favorites, but I do think the employees should work on being a bit more educated on their products. The store itself was setup really great for a group of a few friends and sit and chat while they drink their tea, however the chairs and tables were definitely "used", if you will. Not falling apart but a bit grubby. Overall, the tea quality is so good and the atmosphere good enough that Ill keep going back.

First, here are the positives: + Combination of ube and matcha give the drink a Dubai chocolate-like taste. + Fast and more friendly (compared to a few times before customer service. + Relaxing atmosphere with bright and welcoming decorations. And here's a major negative: - For an $8+ drink (including boba), the size just does not justify it. Base price without boba is around $7 but wish they included a free topping already. Compare that to Bobo Baba - which has similar price range - you just get more bang for your buck there. Would I order this again? 50% sure just to let my wife and her mother taste it for content. But me? I might stick to Feng Cha's brown sugar and mango drinks, which were more satisfying.

Someone from inside came to knock on our windows to tell us that we can still order and she'd make them for us. That was such a kind gesture that I still remember to this day! If you are in this area, check out TeaQ. You might be surprised at how much you like it!

One of my friends ordered her drink at 25% sweetness and felt the same way, so even with reduced sugar, the drinks were pretty overpowering. Service was quick and friendly, which was a plus. Overall, the drinks didn't really do it for me, and If I'm in the mood for boba, I'd probably check out another spot in the Triangle next time.
