Located in 168 market. Cash only. Solid boba and solid tea, honestly the tea flavor is very strong and you can tell its well brewed and sourced tea. Cheaper than other boba joints prolly cuz cash only, and overall great experience. Its a one woman show so she works super fast too. Def a must try
Looking for freshly brewed bubble tea? This is THE place if you are a connoisseur of bubble tea!
You would never think it was because it takes up a random corner of the Marina supermarket, but believe me, it is the real deal.
You can really taste the tea flavor in the milk tea. I recommend the grass jelly, it is very tasty.
Steer clear of the other bubble tea places in the shopping center if you are looking for the best bubble tea. Go to the other tea joints if you want sandwiches or snacks.
My favorite bubble tea place in warm spring. I like how they make teas using the special tea machine from Taiwan to get the heavy taste of tea out of leaf in such a short time. They can customize your order to your like in sweetness, ice..etc . This is really the place to go if you're looking for bubble 'tea', not bubble sugar water as most bubble tea stores.
This place had gone downhill since it opened.
When it first opened, every tea is freshly brewed from tea leaves freshly sealed in can. I am not sure if the cost had went up or what, but the tea clearly taste less aromatic than before, indicating the quality of the tea leaves have dropped.
But overall is still a fairly decent milktea spot.
Best boba place in the Warm Springs area!
Out of the 7 boba places located within a one mile radius of this place, I think Tea Island wins in best tea, taste, and overall drink. I think their boba isn't that great but it's not bad either. I come here simply because they do have the best tea! They brew the tea fresh using one of those espresso machines but modified to brew tea. You can also see that they use less powder and more fresh ingredients which is always a plus!
My new favorite here is their roasted oolong milk tea! I usually get it with 50% less sugar and light ice. I love the taste of their roasted oolong tea. You can smell and taste that the tea leaves have been roasted and it enhances the drink so much more. I don't think any other place has come close to their tea.
Come here because: Fresh tea, Fast service, and Customize your drink.
