Very cozy boba shop. The tea tasted quite nice.In addition, the Jenga on the tables was a nice touch. The service was pretty fast considering the high volume of orders.This shop is exactly what a good boba shop should be, with the wide drink selection, the cozy atmosphere, the many tables to sit at for a date, and even games on some tables. The sweetness and ice levels can be adjusted for the drinks so customization is quite nice. Drinks were also not too expensive, at least in terms of boba prices. 10/10

The food here is so good that I went everyday when I visited Philly in August. The onigiri is great. I enjoyed watching League while eating. Boba was good too.

Arguably the best bubble-tea store in Philly. The small snack foods they offer are also great tasting.

Onigiri had plenty of filling and the bubble tea was fantastic

I honestly liked this place,It was upbeat, the waiters were ready to take my order, and the boba was very pleasant.

I love this spot cuz they have Japanese snacks- like these delicious seaweed chili chips- or the wasabi himemaru. Yummy! I got a matcha with almond milk and boba, and it was perfectly sublime. My sons enjoyed watching the anime version of Full Metal Alchemist, while we shared chips and comfortable seating. The service was super quick and there is uptempo music playing softly in the background. If I went to school nearby I would definitely come here to study and get work done. This is my second or third time here, and I enjoy it every visit.

Tea is good but the tapioca pearls taste like plastic rubber

It was really interesting to be able to try two Tea Do Philly locations in the span of two days, but good news, guys. We found this one to be better than the one in Chinatown! So fascinating. I thought I was going to have to rough it out through another green coconut drink in order to compare these two locations properly, but it turns out this location doesn't even have green coconut as an option (which is what I got at the other location- spoiler, I would not recommend)! This was the first green flag, and it only got better from there. Even though I love special, unique drinks as much as the next person, I think you gotta have that good old fashioned bubble tea staple store that just serves everything all in one place. I'm talking whatever you're craving, whatever flavors you want at any given point in time, they'll have it. And Tea Do is just that: their menu is huge and extensive, and you're bound to find something that you feel like having. We ordered (rating): Sakura Rose Milk Tea with Boba (3.7/5), The Grasshopper (3.5/5), The Hulk (4/5), Oolong Milk Tea with Boba (4.2/5), Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba (5/5)I got their sakura rose milk tea which was one of their recommended drinks. I wouldn't say I get rose milk teas a lot, but I'd say this was one of the better ones I've had because both the rose and the tea parts of the drink stood out on their own! Some years ago I compared components of boba drinks to main and side characters, so I am thrilled that we have two main characters here. On the other end, though, this tea did lean more watery rather than creamy. What did stay consistent across the two stores was the boba, which comes a bit softer than our ideal texture, but the sweetness of the sugar that they must have steeped these boba in definitely shined through. I wouldn't say they tasted like brown sugar boba, but my sister says that they did; point being that you'll get some kind of sugary taste and isn't that all you really need to know?
One of the OG bubble tea spots in Philly. They have a prime location but the drinks are subpar in my opinion. They're always too sweet even with no sugar added. Still a solid spot for a date or just chill with friends

Quick service and tasty drinks!You can't go wrong with any drink on the menu. You are able to customize as you wish and it is delicious. I wish there was one near but it may be a good thing. If it was near me, I would be coming here everyday.If you don't know what to get just go with the regular black tea milk tea with the boba. You really can't go wrong with that.I'll go again if I was near! Go check it out!

great quick stop for college students! good boba and an active/bustling study space if you don't like to sit in silence. got the strawberry green tea with lychee jelly which is great but will definitely getting less sweetness next time. got some snacks (gyoza and takoyaki) which have great prices and came out quick!! devoured the food before i could get pics but the gyoza was good and takoyaki was really yummy - contrary to other reviews i got a good amount of octopus just as much as other places i've been to!

They’ve been closed up to 1hr-1hr 1/2 early recently so when I go they are closed or are closing even though posted hours say they don’t closed for at least an hour. It’s frustrating and disappointing!
Hot eel onigiri ?
