Crema's Take
“Royal Tea has a devoted local following for their Cheese Strawberry milk tea and taro drinks—regulars genuinely love the personal service—but the shop is undermined by consistency problems that keep the rating at 3.7. Complaints cluster around ice-heavy pours that drown out flavors, drinks that taste diluted, and a pattern of closing well before posted hours, which suggests operational issues rather than occasional mishaps.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.

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…
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…
