I decided to try this place out since it was recommended to me by acquaintances and co-workers. Coming in, it was a cute little shop. It was not busy the day I went so it was quick for us to order the drinks. The drink selection itself was very abundant, and there were also some specials that are unique to the shop. The inside had a lot of monopoly board games, a foosball table and jenga tower to play while you enjoy your boba. I got a Coffee Boba and my boyfriend got a Love Potion, both were equally alright in terms of taste. The Love Potion reminded me of a fizzy-fun soda, and the Coffee Boba was what you'd expect. However, I feel like the price was too much for what I got. That may be my own opinion, but when I compare it to other boba places, this one is certainly one of the most expensive I've been to. I think this place is good to try at least once, but I won't be coming here any time soon unless someone paid me to go.
3.5 stars overall. A pretty decent local boba shop near Merle Hay Mall. They do stamp cards to get free drinks too. Their menu has fruit teas, carbonated drinks, milk teas, smoothies, and non-caffeinated drinks. The decor inside is cute to play board games or hangout with friends. I got the Fresh Mango Milk with boba and it was not bad! It was creamy, but had an artificial mango syrup taste to it. Didn't actually have a fresh mango flavor. The boba was decent. It was nice and chewy, but wasn't very sweet.
What a cute place to get a yummy drink treat! The atmosphere is very casual and quite with staff that's quick for service. We got the Wintermelon Milk tea with Boba and Flan cake topping! So worth it. It's sweet and floral like wintermelon but has a slight bitterness after from the tea. The flan cake is a great caramel flavor added with a smooth texture. We also got the brown sugar milk tea with boba. It's sweet, creamy, has the classic molasses/caramel taste from the brown sugar. Would recommend to friends and family. Also it's right across from the mall! So quick stop there before going shopping and it's a perfect day!
The service was great the cashier was very helpful and informed. We got the coffee smoothie was very good and the avocado smoothie also very good. Recommend coming here when I'm back in Des Moines I'll be stopping by.
I can't say enough great things about this place!! The staff here is wonderful and the shop itself is cute and has enough space for games and chairs and a couple tables to hang out. My favorite drinks so far are: CHIANG MAI TEA- with Honey Boba & Egg Pudding added (This is basically their Thai GREEN Tea) delicious! My own concoction: MILK TEA with WINTERMELON SYRUP added and Honey Boba, Egg Pudding with Oreo on top (I'm hoping one day they will call it the "Vivian Special" lmao jp) It's my fave at another national Well-known Boba shop! AVOCADO SLUSHIE- Honey Boba & Egg Pudding Any of the Vietnamese Coffee flavors. There's three of them. Red Bean with Red Bean Topping Coconut Milk Tea with Red Bean Topping Strawberry Slushie- Kids favorite Basically, all of their drinks have been delicious and I am a repeat customer!! I hope that they stick around! So, please give them a chance!
I love this place! It's cute, cozy and inviting. The person behind the counter who greeted me was very friendly. I love that they have a wide variety of flavors. I ordered my favorite flavor honeydew in the milk tea with tapioca pearls. It was delicious and refreshing. I also like that they don't fill your whole cup with ice so you get a lot of milk tea in your cup. The boba was cooked perfectly and was soft and chewy. I can't wait to try some other flavors like coconut and mango. They also have fruit teas that sound great. Best of all, this isn't too far from where I live so it's convenient to stop by. I'll be sure to stop in again.
This is my second visit to this unique shop in the strip mall just south of MerleHayMall. On this visit, we got two fruit boba teas, the spring and summer ones, both came out with a sealed top, so no potential spilling of the product. They also have two sizes of insulated containers one can buy for future purchases. We will likely get one or two the next trip here. The drinks were very flavorful, which made for the 5 star rating. It's in a part of the city I rarely visit, but I might come through more often just to grab one for the road. Marcy'sDinerTantrumScale 5/5-NoScreamingKids. Prices are about average for boba teas. Lot parking. Friendly servers.
One of my fave local bubble tea shops. Service is quick and friendly. Menu is large and cashier will help you navigate it. I love that they are locally owned. They have red bean and egg pudding as toppings. Plus side you can adjust your sweetness. Give them a try!
Recently been on a boba kick! Will definitely be returning. Give them a try guys they have so many flavors to offer.
Love this place! It's so cute and they added a lot of little touches that make it an inviting space to sit and enjoy your drinks. The owners are super friendly and took time to explain boba and all the options to my in-laws who had never had boba before. They also told us about where they came up with the flavors and techniques they use. They also shared that the main artwork on the wall was a custom piece designed by their family in Vietnam. It's super cool, definitely check it out while there. We got a variety of drinks and tasted each other's drinks and they were all yummy. They have a variety of milk teas, smoothies and teas with jellies and boba pearls you can mix and match. Their prices are comparable to other boba shops and the price of boba at restaurants. The atmosphere is very cozy but spacious. You can tell they want their patrons to enjoy their tea in their store. They have a foosball table, board games, free wi-fi and even a hanging chair that would be perfect for reading or just vegging out on your phone. I recommend this place for singles, dates and families.
I have wanted to stop by ever since they opened, and spring break allowed me the perfect opportunity to do just that. I have been OBSESSED with honeydew drinks and snacks ever since my trip to Japan, so I knew I just had to try their honeydew milk tea. It was perfection. The flavor was great without being too sweet, and the boba was a great consistency and tasted great as well. This is such a cute and trendy space. Great for a chill afternoon, friend hang, or even an afternoon date. Highly recommend!
Conveniently located at the busy corner of Douglas and Merle Hay, Eden Tea was the perfect afternoon refreshment. The place was busy, filled with friends enjoying conversation and kids playing one of the many games available (foosball, giant jenga, board games.) We didn't need to wait long for our order. I went with the Joy potion and added strawberry popping pearls. It was so good, and super pretty! The popping pearls added a pleasant burst of flavor with each sip through a big straw. Staff was friendly and my drink was delicious. Can't wait for my next visit when I'm in the area again!

Today I visited with my boyfriend and upon first walking in, I knew I wanted a matcha latte, but since it was cold outside I wanted it to be hot. I asked the server if he could add the extra cream topping to it and he was very accommodating. It's not typical for someone to order that so he made sure to let me know that he wanted to know how it tasted My boyfriend ordered the Red Dragon tea and we both bought pins (which you pull at random from a box for 3 bucks each) and he really enjoyed it! My hot matcha latte with crème brûlée cream was really good as well and incredibly sweet, I think I will order something similar to it when I come back. Overall, the service was great, the drinks were excellent, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. They have plenty of chairs with a decent amount of room between them and classical music playing over the speakers. read more

We were eating at chipotle and drove by this place. Parking was easy, store was clean. I already looked at the menu beforehand so I knew what I wanted to order. This fruit tea costed how much?! $5.25?! For a MEDIUM sized cup? I'm so hurt. I would be less hurt if the drink (Eden Tea) was good - but it tasted literally like fruit syrup with water and ice. It's been sitting in the fridge for the past 2 hours, and I only drank 1/4 of the cup. Can't decide to keep it or toss it. Unless you really enjoy drinking sugar, I think y'all should skip this drink or get it at 50% sugar (or even less). Owners were friendly, and they have stamp cards (Who doesn't like stamp cards :p) - too bad I'm not from the area. read more

I got the black sugar milk tea, it was super good. The only thing that I would say was kind of weird was the texture of the boba it was almost slimy. I've only have boba once before I came here, so I don't have a lot to compare it to, but it was still really good and will for sure be going back! read more

Eden Tea is great! The employees were very nice and I think I waited 2 minutes tops for my drink. I also like how many options there are on the menu! I'll have to keep coming back and trying more drinks. I got the butterfly milk tea this visit, which was very good! Once you stir it up it becomes this really pretty baby blue color. Their tapioca boba has a strong honey taste which I really enjoy. read more

Very interesting place... so many choices. The staff were very friendly and explained the drinks and the process. They also shared what they liked and what was popular. It was busy and the vibe inside was great! It is inviting and welcoming. They have games to play if you like as well. Give it a try, I did! I got the black sugar milk tea and i was told this is the most popular drink across the world...I think I would try something else next time... read more
I went today and got a beverage. I wanted something low carb. I'm not sure what I got was low carb but it was excellent. I got a honeydew milk tea. I'm not a tea drinker or a milk drinker, so this was relatively weird to me, but I did it and I'm glad. It was such a refreshing drink. I got the bobba in it as well. I didn't care for them. Not sure what flavoring they were, but they were black, next time I'll try a fruit flavored one. The drink itself was so good. I had it gone in no time and was wanting more. The only down fall of the trip was that I had no cash to leave the gal a tip. Service was quick and efficient. I will definitely be back for another one of those teas. I chose that tea due to another review and remembered what they ordered, due to it sounding odd to me. Thankful I remembered what to order. The atmosphere is nice, board games, a big jenga, there were people there playing games. read more
