Royal Tea

It's impressive how consistent they are at closing before their actual closing time. They used to say they close at 10pm and would be actually closed by 9. Now they say 9pm and the store is pitch black and closed at 7pm

Love this place. I always buy Cheese Strawberry and it’s delicious. They know me at the cafe and start making my order as soon as I walk in. It’s so sweet!

The taro milk tea is delicious (got with jelly and it tasted like Chè viet dessert). Too bad I barely got to drink any because my cup was packed full of ice >:0 the kiosk didn’t give the option to change the ice level on this one drink. So pissed.

I love bubble tea and this is one of the worst bubble tea I’ve tried. The roasted oolong milk tea was so diluted, it tasted like water. The honey bubbles was def not soaked in honey. I do not recommend. Even onezo that is close by is better. Note to owner: adding milk instead of ice should not make the tea more diluted. Adding sugar should not make the tea tastier.

UPDATE: (wrong business name but correct review). I got food at Babs Korean Bistro near them and stop in RoyalTea for a drink for the first and decided to tey a few. The customer and drink were okay. I got 3 but there was only 1 I really liked. So the next I visited Babs, I stopped in to give it another go. It was different later time of day in the early evening. I do not know if it was same staff but both times they were not so open. The second visit it was hard to even make the order with language barrier between the myself trying to ask for the item and the young asian lady trying comprehend. I do not think her english is very good. She had to ask another employee to take my order. Her english is better but there was still some trouble. Thankfully they have a large photographic menu on the wall and I could point to the menu item. I only got the drink but it longer to get the drink than it last time when I go three. It is a small spot but they only serve drinks but it was hard to keep social distance in a place with an unusual floor plan with tight stair well and entry point. The waiting area is not roomy at all either. They should consider putting up a sign to limited how many customers can be in the store at one time. Its interesting spot and you might like trying their drinks. But after giving a go not once but twice I honestly cannot say it was the best experience or that I would go again. There was the one drink I like but I do remember the name and the not-so good experience trying to find and get it the second time around didnt balance out the desire the go back any time soon. You may have a different experience. I will let you decide. One of the three was the strawberry drink which normally serve with cheese but you do have the options with some drink to have ice cream instead. I choose the later. When I ask about thiscthe second time, I was told something different. Which also affect my experience there and decision to possibly not going a third time.
