“Jessica is phenomenal! She is so patient and helpful. I have allergies so I need to see the packaging of each ingredient of what I order. Jessica quickly grabs whatever I need to see with no hesitation and great attitude. I never feel rushed and she is more than willing to help however she can. She is phenomenal and deserves a raise or promotion!Dietary restrictions: There are gluten-free options!“
“Very cute little shop! It’s tucked in the very back of this hallway and is almost hidden. I got the blue sky milk tea with bubbles. It was good and I liked the floral taste but I think oolong would have been better. They also have mochi, rice rolls ,slushies and smoothies. While here the staff were friendly and I got my drink pretty quickly, I would definitely try again!“
“The kratom and kava are both really good, here. I ususally get the Mudslide and my partner gets the horchata. They both taste great, although the horchata has a LOT of ice in it, so it's only good for a few sips or so. Still, the place is pretty cool. It's small inside, but there's lots of comfy seating. I typically go at night, later in the evening so it's not too packed. Shoutout to Ava! They're pretty cool and they were always nice to us. Ava went above and beyond to make our first time there, awesome. We were informed of the menu and all of our questions were answered in an honest way, not just a 'upsell and serve' way. The only reason I give it four stars is because sometimes my partner and I go in and there is a server there that doesn't really have a great attitude. She didn't pay much attention to us any of the times we've been there. She also seemed to be annoyed by us when we ordered and other than taking our order, she didn't turn to us. We waited awhile to pay, multiple times, while she was chatting and such. We're outgoing people, we like to meet others. The times when she's there are just not as pleasant. Overall though, we will be back. Drinks are good and the vibe is chill.“
“A convenient place to grab a drink or a quick bite with friends. Great location, friendly staff, good service.Ordered the strawberry milk, and wasn’t disappointed. Also enjoyed some of their pastries on a Wednesday night with little to no crowds.“
“I pass by 13th street quite often and finally was able to go in. I usually am in a hurry but I decided to stop by on a Friday night . I had a sweet tooth and wanted ice cream. I settled on some boba tea instead and had oolong but unfortunately they were out of boba balls so I had it without. They added a replacement for the boba balls which was a little off and like a jelly texture . Almost like aloe Vera texture . I still loved their boba tea flavor which I got brown sugar. We also tried 2 mochi. The mochi had a great flavor but the texture was too hard for me. We had the strawberry and coconut mochi but they had other amazing flavors like habanero coffee, expresó , lychee , passion fruit etc. I appreciate that they had so many unique flavors you don't see often. I am not sure if the macaroons are fresh or who makes them but they also had a variety of interesting flavors . Would definitely come back to try other items and flavors that they offer.“
“This is one of 5 boba places on the street so I'll just do a run down of all 5 to help you choose.1. Frosty Fox - Best drinks but limited menu and space inside the shop.2. Tiger Sugar- Not bad but not worth going out of your way for.3. Tea Bestea- Best for food, drinks are just ok.4. Kung Fu Tea- Most variety but also big corporate chain5. Teastori- Also great variety (but some drinks aren't good) most are though!As for this place the gelato black tea is the best. Kung Fu and teastori are a bit better but this place is a good compliment to the restaurants in it's plaza.Parking: Good amount of parking around the buildings.“
“I personally got the coffee with brown sugar boba and my other half got the taro pudding with brown sugar boba. Be careful becuase the main ingredient is sometimes not what you expect. When it says taro pudding that means it's the main ingredient. There's 0 tea it's all jelly and boba and coffee was the only liquid in the other boba. I loved mine but my other did not enjoy her pudding only boba. Just make sure you know what you're getting even if you have to ask questions otherwise I think they're drinks were really enjoyable.Parking: Tons of spots it's in a shopping area“
“I was *hellaaaa* intimidated before I visited this place, since I've never had boba before and there looked like there was a ton of options for the liquid and boba pieces online. First of all, this place is so stinking cute. The outside is beautifully decorated and is super inviting. The outdoor/indoor seating is closed due to COVID, or else I would have loved to sip my drink on their cute little patio. You order via a kiosk, which I didn't like because it did not have all of the options that are actually available and we needed time to browse everything on the menu so we held up the line behind us... I ended up picking the strawberry dream snow with strawberry popping boba in the regular size. I wish I would've gotten the XL size because it was that good. My fiancé got the strawberry rose milk tea with regular boba. His milk tea tasted like floral bath water (sorry to milk tea lovers...) but the boba itself was good and not super flavorful, but very chewy. He's going to go with a slush next time. I wish we could have ordered at the counter so we could ask staff what they recommend for first time customers. They do have a top 10 menu on the kiosk, but none looked like safe, beginner-friendly drinks. We also got two mochi ice creams to try. I'm glad I checked their actual case because they had a birthday cake flavor that was not available via the kiosk. The staff was really nice and let me switch my original flavor out. The vanilla chip mochi was also bomb. 10/10, we would get these again. We purchased two of their reusable XL cups as well since it came with a metal straw all for $10 and we didn't want to use the paper boba straws. We had a blast and cannot wait to come back to try more flavors!! They also sell super cute shirts, masks, plant pots, and other things in-store as well!!“
“Amazing! My friend turned us on to Tea Bestea and I'm so happy she did. Really high quality food that's very tasty! We've tried the ramen, poke bowls and a couple appetizers - all were delicious. I highly recommend you try this place!“
“I would rate everything 10/5 if I could because like it’s probably my top 1 or 2 places in Gainesville to like have food at, and like I’m a senior at UF so do with that information what you will. They have some of my favorite music constantly in rotation, if not some jams that I haven’t heard before but are awesome! I guarantee that you’ll pull out your Shazam app or other music-detecting application to grab the names of some jams here! If google had more categories, needless to say it would top them too at least 10/5!Vegetarian options: Most ingredients are vegetarian, so you have a lot of options and they have vegan options too!Kid-friendliness: Atmosphere is kid-friendly. What more is there to say honestly?“
“OH MY GOSH. This place is so good! Their Bahn Mi is so good and a side drink of boba really does the trick. If I could, I would literally go there everyday. Perfect place for you to hang out with friends, have dates, or just have a meal. They have board games to play while you wait for your food as well. Decently priced. 3 people were in my group. We each got a meal and a drink and spent in total around $40.“
“I have been here a few times and have tried the Brown Sugar Milk Tea w/ Boba, Brulee Green Milk Tea w/ Oreo, and Brulee Thai Milk Tea w/ Boba. All drinks were good and on the perfect sweetness level to me but my friend prefers to get 70%. The drinks are made quickly and the interior is very pretty and clean. The staff is very friendly as well.“
