I have mixed feelings about this place. Right by the ever-popular KPot, AYE is a good place for an after-dinner stop. It's got a good amount of seating, as well as a bunch of games (video, card, and board), so it's great to unwind and hang around for a bit. The service is quick, and the employees were incredibly patient with our large party. The issue I have here is with the drink itself. The size is good for the price you're paying, but it was way too sweet. I ordered a strawberry lychee tea with lychee jelly at "less sweet," but it tasted as if it were at full sweetness. The flavor was fine, and the texture of the jelly was nice, but I can't imagine what this would've tasted like without the adjustment. Though I think I'd give it another chance if I were back in the area! read more

We stopped by a couple times whenever we wanted to try a new flavor! - Strawberry Lychee with Lychee Jelly They have a variety of drinks to choose from so I went with one that was pictured under special offers. It tasted good and not as sweet as I expected it to be. I think most of their drinks charges extra for toppings so I'm glad mine included lychee jelly. The service was fast on a weekday evening. read more

Stopped by here after dinner at Kpot. The store is very clean and airy. They offer a lot of varieties so that is a plus. I decided to try the Egg Coffee and Lychee Blue Sparkler. The coffee is very strong so be aware of that. The Lychee is nice also. There are a lot of bubble tea places around here in NOVA so when you open a new one, it needs to be different from the others. They do have few drinks that are unique here and their desserts are very good here. I got the Singapore dessert which I never have tried before and it's delicious. Service is fast and the lady who took my order knows the drinks very well. A nice addition to the bubble tea scene and the location is great for everyone who eats at Kpot to stop by here afterwards. read more

Went there for their first day of opening. 5/5 decors are clean and cute. 3/5 for customers service: very disorganized when they get busy. I order buy 4 get 1 free drinks and they missing one drink for half an hour. But it's their first day so it's to be expected. I got Milo shake, coconut coffee, saigonese coffee, taro coconut coffee and peach yogurt. The best out of 5 drink is the Milo shake. I have such high hope for taro coconut coffee but other than the drink is more creamy, I can barely taste taro or coconut. I couldn't taste any coconut in Coconut coffee . Saigonese and peach yogurt drink was so so. I might come back another time to try their durian drink. Price for the drink is ok. Not cheap but not crazy expensive. 3/5 for the taste ... the Milo shake save the rating read more

After Kpot/Hot Pot, my nephew and I visit this new spot we saw as we were heading to lunch. As you walked in, the entire cafe is well decorated with figurines, murals and other light features. The cafe is very vibrant, cozy and a great place to hang out. It offers a variety of unique and specialty drinks such as boba, teas, lattes, smoothies and coffee. All staff members were friendly and knowledgeable. Don't miss out on this gem! read more

Maybe we went in an off day but the drinks we tried here were average. I asked the cashier if they freshly squeezed the sugar cane juice and she said yes, but the drink itself tasted like it wasn't freshly pressed or something was added to take away the taste of regular fresh squeeze sugar cane juice. The Thai tea was okay but lacked a little flavor. The egg coffee was tasty but very small for the price and mostly just ice. When we left we let the ice melt into the coffee more to have more beverage to consume but even then it was not a lot of liquid for the price. They do have a wide selection of drinks, so maybe we just happened to pick ones that were not so good for me. read more

The tea here was good, average. Nothing that stood out really but the ambiance and decor were super cute. Parking was horrible as there was none... had to idle at a no parking area to run in and quickly grab drinks. We were the only ones in the store and service.. hmm it took about 10min to get our drinks.. we ordered 2 drinks.. it is in a nice little area though. read more

Ayyyyyee the TEA is that there's a new boba lounge in Fairfax!! I'm happy to support an Asian owned (specifically Viet) business + am impressed with their store n drink selection!! My first time there was super welcoming I was craving a late night sweet treat n upon entering they informed me they are offering a "late night deal" on their drinks! So 5$ drinks from 9pm-12am!! And that includes the toppings!! I got the house tea w cheese boba + flan and the black sesame coconut milk tea and enjoyed both. I would like the cheese boba balls to be more ...sturdy...and able to fit through the boba straws...but theyre still delicious. The milk teas themselves also tasted good w a good amount of sweetness. I enjoyed the chill vibes of the lounge and will be bringing my computer to do work in one of their outside seating areas!! Can't wait to come back to show more support~ read more

The place itself is cool but the parking situation is so bad that I do not think I could really go back. The size and thai tea was good with the boba being a little cold. The vibe is nice but with one right nearby with a parking lot I would just go there. read more

10/10 sugar cane, less than 5 minutes from my house with no additives? Love it. Also tried their bubble teas awhile back and those were good too. read more

We usually go to Tea-Do for boba but stopped by Aye Tea to switch it up. Parking is a bit of a hassle but there are some 15 minute parking spots right in front and directly on the side of the store, and when we came by at 7pm on a Saturday there was no line and we were able to get our order within 5 minutes. You can order at the counter or at the kiosk and there's plenty of pictures of each drink on both if you decide visually like me. The inside of the store has a bunch of labubus and other collectibles on one side of the wall. I was a bit off put by the strong smell of cleaning products while entering the store. Aye Tea has a lot of unique flavours on their menu, and most of their drinks are dairy-free and they use powder. They also have some dessert options like flan and labubu shaped cookies. I ordered the green tea rice drink with crystal boba. There were no size options and even though I had asked for the lowest (25%) sugar it was still really sweet. Unfortunately they don't make any of their drinks hot. The crystal boba had more of a jelly texture than boba texture and almost tasted like white grape flavour. There is a good amount of boba to drink ratio so no complaints there, but I was not a fan of the tea itself, which tasted to me like white grape + milk?? Not sure how to describe the flavour but it was not what I expected from the description for green tea and rice, which I expected maybe a light toasted barley flavor, or a stronger tea flavor. I had to knock off a whole star because for this subpar tea to cost $7.58 is daylight robbery. With Tea Do around the corner, it is hard to justify breaking our routine to risk $8 to try a unique flavour at Aye Tea that would be a toss up and predictably way too sweet. read more

A friend mentioned Aye was good and we happened to pass by after Hpot around 9 Sunday. no line, just two small groups enjoying chatting. My bro's addicted to sugar and didn't request less so he found the Sunset (hibiscus spice,pinapple, kumquat tea) very sweet but otherwise quite flavorful . They have a lot of options, ample seating though ambiance's different from the '25 photos (perhaps they had to sell all the figurines or cater to older customers). They're are open until late so try em out. 加油!! Keep it up! read more

What a great way to start Spring Break and find this new boba spot on Gateway Dr near KPot Fairfax! The store is bright and nicely decorated with fresh flowers and balloons, and I appreciated the QR code being passed down the line as we waited outside. There's a cute tree with lanterns at the front of the store and a lot of seating. Today and tomorrow, there's a BOGO for their grand opening. I got the Jasmine green milk tea that was light, and floral. The boba added the sweetness, which was perfect for me since I asked for less sweet and less ice. There's two variations of their Thai tea, red and green. I'm unsure of the difference but we also go their red Thai tea which was a pretty ombré color before our mix. It was pretty sweet even with less sweetness. It tasted like the powder to me. Overall, the owner brought the hype and he was so friendly and welcoming. The spinner wheel was so fun! We won a coffee machine, and so did 3 other customers while we were there! A great atmosphere with so many options, everything looks good! Plentiful seating, and welcoming ambience! I'll be back! read more

Congrats on the grand opening! There's a good amount if seating right now, but Aye Tea is open for business right in the same area as KPot Hot Pot Fairfax, which is a great transition from a meal to some yummy bubble tea. I ordered the strawberry sugar cane + the avocado smoothie and both were pretty tasty, I did prefer the strawberry sugar cane a little bit more. My dad ordered a taro coconut coffee and a sea salt coffee and told me he liked the taro coconut coffee, but did not like the sea salt coffee. Inside the vibes are nice, there's currently giveaways for the first two days along with modest parking in the garage. The staff are nice too, but since they are in their grand opening phase with no soft opening, I believe the service is a bit slower than expected. I'd recommend going on slower days for now while theyre still training/ learning the ropes. read more

I got the egg coffee, super excited to have tried a new bubble tea spot and I was looking forward to this. The spot is very cute, however parking is a not very great either. Anywho i came in around 8 and there was more people working versus people in the store... they were ready to take my order, but the ACTUAL SERVICE WAS SOOOOOO SLOW. It took a total of 14 minutes from the actual order to get my drink... and they all just kept looking at me... no apologies until the very end when I actually recieved the drink. Taste? It was just ok, they were out of a lot of the things I wanted to try. I was slightly confused cause it's a new spot... i asked for 3 different toppings and none were available...nothing out of the ordinary. And nothing i would be amazed to return for. They have so many interesting things i would love to try...again only if they had it. Not the worse, but definitely not the best. read more

I looove this place! The staff is always very polite and friendly, and their selection is varied and delicious. I also appreciate that they have a couple of games you can play while you wait. There is parking around the side of the building which was a little annoying to figure out but very close to the store. There's also about a hundred Labubu-type decorations which isn't really my jam but they're kinda fun to look at. I've never had a bad experience here and I've been going at least weekly for a couple of months. MUCH BETTER THAN TEA DO. read more

They have a variety of drinks that I am curious and would try all the flavors. The size of the drinks is good for the price. Its a great ambiance to unwind and very cozy. The service is great, friendly servers always serve with a smile. keep it up. read more

I've saw an ad showing they had boba in a cooler filled with toppings and wanted to try it out. Turns out that drink cost almost $16 dollars because you're paying for the drink, plus the cooler, and additional toppings. For that price I was expecting to have a lot, however there was only a couple of pieces of toppings here and there, and the tea barely filled the cooler. It was mostly ice inside. I would comeback and try a different drink since the cooler is definitely not worth it. On the plus side, I now have a cooler to pack lunch in. read more

Oh my goodness! Im hooked. I love this place. Fresh mango smoothies. Woah. Im absolutely in love with the Mangonada.

Coconut matcha was not bad. Sugarcane juice is a huge disappointment. It was not freshly squeezed and tasted nothing like sugarcane juice.

Best milk tea! Try them out! They have all the best milk tea and tea with the best service ever read more

Waited in line for 10min while 2 groups decided what they wanted. Finally, it was our turn to order! Tried to order a coconut milk tea add boba and the lady proceeded to tell me they were out of boba and it would be a 40min wait...a sign would have been nice to avoid the inconvenience. Oh well.... this is the first impression of this place that we're left with. read more
