Lily S.

Very interesting concepts especially with the cute animal shaped to-go bottles for the drinks. The egg waffles menu also showed off various ways to play up the fun with flavor combos. If only they use the extra effort toward perfecting the basic recipes... I had the most basic: honey egg waffles. Not sure why honey was needed here when they could've used all eggs to make it eggy and fragrant! When I bit into my honey egg waffles, I knew the batter was overly wet as the waffle would stick to my teeth. Just not what your typical Hong Kong egg waffles should be. Shame. The drinks are the same way. My HK style milk tea was fine but nothing to write home about. It didn't have that wow factor where after the first one, you immediately wanted a second one because it's so strong and you don't even care if you can't sleep that night! Hubby's Oolong Tea Cheese Latte was plain weird. Well, he only had himself to blame for ordering it, but why put a subpar drink on the menu? Staff was friendly and you can tell they were trying really hard to sell products (such as convincing me to get the ice cream loaded egg waffles).

Original milk tea
Thuy Dan T.

Vibes are chill and the music is great. Decor is pretty unassuming except for the hype bears. Staff seems like all friends with one another, which is great, but comes with a balance of doing things efficiently too. I think creating some sort of system would be good. I could tell other patrons were being annoyed of them forgetting to complete an order or having group orders come out sporadically. I ordered the OG or Happy Milk Tea, large, half sugar and less ice. It tasted on the light side, more ice than what is usually in less ice and they didn't offer the price of the bear mug (which I was looking for but I didn't know you were supposed to ask).

Lychee yogurt
Kevin W.

My review is based off the drinks alone, and I'll update it when I get the bubble waffles. I love a good yogurt drink and this was pretty refreshing for the string of warm weather we had last week! It definitely called for boba. The lychee flavor was good but the yogurt drink itself could have been stronger as it tasted water down. I've had better yogurt drinks elsewhere where that strong yakult flavor punches through your taste buds. It was lacking both tartness and sweetness of the yogurt. It was average but I've had better.

This place is as the name says... a TRAP! Honestly the tea might be good, but don't fall for the same mistake I made. DO NOT get the bear. No matter how cute you might the the picture might be, I am here to tell you it's not worth it. It costs $15 to get the bear when a normal cup costs $5. They also didn't have any large straws for me and instead of being any help just said sorry... I had to ask for a cup and pour my drink into the $5 cup. I should have just gotten the $5 cup to begin with! I asked someone else about their experience and they said the large straw barley worked anyways, so it's not like that would have even fixed it. I might be bitter from this horrible experience but the boba wasn't even good. It lacked flavors and the texture was so off. The milk tea was okay at best. Feel free to try this spot out, but do not get that bear.

If I could I will give this for 0 star. The drink is tastes like water. I will never come back!!

Coconut milk tea
Christina S.

I very much enjoyed my experience at Trap Tea. I love a good coconut milk tea and they delivered. It was sweet; but I saw that you can order it with 75%, 50%, or 25% sweetness which is an awesome option. I would probably get it a touch less sweet in the future but to be honest I wasn't mad about how I ordered mine this time! It was a dessert for me afterall. Gotta get the bear at least one time and take a pic for the gram (instagram) was it worth it- probably not but I got my photo so who cares. I'm guessing not a lot of people get it; because the straw is not sized correctly from drinking out of the bear. Notice the picture of my holding it; you can't even see the straw. Makes getting boba with every sip very difficult. I would probably invest in some proper sized straws for these drinks. If someone is shelling out $15 for a plastic bear- the least you can do is serve them this fun option with a straw that fits. Just saying. Provably my main complaint here. Loved the boba, it was soft and delicious, just how I like it. I prefer a soft and fluffy boba and theirs was top notch. They also do bubble waffles here which I refrained from this time, but will be back to try. And I will update the review to include those when I do!

Happy Mix Fruit Tea
Alice C.

Maybe my expectations were just too high, but I was disappointed in general with this experience. The tea was ok, it for the location and price I probably won't make another trip back as there are far more tea places with a better ambiance. The staff I personally wouldn't call them friendly nor were they really helpful. Like I said I was probably too hyped for it....

Kelsey S.

Wanted to give this place a better review considering we drove out of the way to try this spot based off the reviews. But it was not worth the hype. Walked in the door to blaring music and children running behind the counter... there was also a huge group of guys outside the shop smoking weed and the door to the shop was propped open so the entire boba store smelled of it. The drinks were okay, nothing stood out. The guy who took our order was friendly and answered any questions. But other than that, save your money and go to a different boba place.

This is the second establishment I've been to running on the trap house theme. The other was a cookie spot. I'm looking for a boba spot in Denver that does good blended drinks. I thought I was going to find that here. I didn't. They have milk tea, slushy drinks, ice cream but no blended drinks. I tried their house tea and the fruity pebble egg waffle, and it was a 3/5. It's just not what I was looking for. I wish I had asked for a second scoop of ice cream for the egg waffle. They use whip cream as a filler, I would have def rather paid for another scoop. I'm sure that this is the place to get a milk tea tho. It was packed when I went. So if you're into that this is it.

Honey Egg Waffle
Cece S.

I've always wanted to try this place out, but never really needed to since my go-to boba place is so close to home, but when I had a craving for boba and my usual place was already closed for the night, I ventured out to try Trap Tea. It didn't disappoint. I usually stick with my taro milk tea and this place had a really good one. I tried a plain honey egg waffle and it was also super yummy. Hot, not too sweet, and perfectly crispy. Everyone there is super friendly and the service is super quick. They were cranking out milk teas one after another. Really enjoyed it. I recommend if you're in the neighborhood.

RareTea is located in a spot where unless you know about this spot, you will probably never know it…read moreis there which is unfortunate because this boba spot is awesome! First off, the interior is beautiful and really facilitates conversation and just hanging out with friends and family. It probably has the best interior design out of all the boba places in Denver I have been to. The boba itself was really good. My biggest complaint about boba places is that I always ask for less sweet levels and it still is way too sweet. This place did a great job of measuring the sweetness level. The boba itself was tasty as well. The woman who helped out at the register was also very helpful and nice.

My husband got the mango passion fruit green test and we both asked for the aloe jelly it's like a snack added in Service was great they were friendly and helpful with recommendations. From the time we ordered to receiving our stuff it was 5-6 mins not bad at all. They have a variety of things to pick from and you can add more than aloe jelly and boba. Price $14-$15 for both drinks and a tip included. Parking is free and plenty of space is available. Overall I enjoyed trying this place out I would like to go back and try the passion fruit or another drink without the sugar but it is refreshing and a light snack to have. I would recommend trying this place out.

I am not a big sweets person, but holy moly, the drinks and other offerings here are SO GOOD!…read more My girlfriend kept telling me that the soft serve here is really good and we finally stopped by after some grocery shopping. She was not joking. It was not too sweet and slightly tart. The lychee lemonade aide was really good too. The lychee flavor was a bit overpowering but that is typically the case with lychee flavored anything. The lemon slice in there was a really good touch. I got the affogato with espresso/matcha and Vietnamese coffee. It was my bad to get so many things all in one as it was a bit too much but I think it would've been perfect with espresso and Vietnamese coffee. If you are in the neighborhood and enjoy Asian style drinks and desserts, I would highly recommend checking out Mocha! I know I will be back soon!

Been stopping by atleast every other week with this blazing heat for some cold drinks and they never dissapoint! We are always greeted right away by the friendly fast and our order always comes out in a timely manner despite being busy sometimes! There also Tables and booths on the side for seating, it does get pretty occupied on some days so heads up if you planned to stay and study here! For drinks we ordered large beverages both a little under $10 after tax: 5/5 Large Strawberry Matcha Latte 5/5 Large Strabwerry Latte with Brown Sugar Boba topping We are fan of their strabwerry drinks as it is a very good and strong flavor of strabwerry they have and the matcha or milk base always compliments the drink. The matcha is also frothy and both drinks are top with a bit strabwrrry pieces at the top and the matcha powder on top of the drink! So refreshing! 5/5 Half Dozen Creme Brulees Cream Bun We are OBESSESED with their cream buns, we havent tried the other flavors but the creme brulee flavor is always our go to. DELICIOUS bun served with a generous amount of cream on too, The cream really compliments the bread. This is a MUST try if you havent already! With summer just starting, expect us to be back at mocha a couple times to grab refreshing iced cold drinks and delicious cream buns!!!

Been going to Volcan for years and I am so glad they're still thriving!…read more Of course- their milk tea and bobas are where they got their start. I like how they offer some more traditional Asian flavors, like taro and winter melon. You'll want to try the popcorn chicken!

While he wanted us that the peppercorn sauce may numb our tongues, I think that got lost in translation! Our other choices were a salty sauce (described as a brown sauce that isn't that salty really) and a sweet and sour sauce. We could get it as a soup or stir fry. We wanted stir fry. The beef was tender and juicy and cooked perfectly as was the bok choy in the stir fry. The noodles were silky and soft, with a great mouth feel. The peppercorn sauce left our tongues numb though and we could NOT figure out what was going on because we didn't pick that up in the convo when we ordered! I finally asked the waitress who gave us the whole reason behind the untraditional and traditional sauce options! She said that when COVID hit, mostly Americans ordered and they adapted a sweet and sour sauce for them that they love. When things opened back up, they went back to peppercorn sauce because the Chinese like it and it is traditionally served near the Guangzhou province. It all made sense! She said next time, we could try the salty sauce, which I will. It sounds great and I love these noodles. They make their tea strong and it is awesome. We had a black tea and a jasmine cold tea. I had been here once before and taken my mother. She was treated so sweetly by the lady who works there and it made her experience extra enjoyable. I wish I knew her name, but she is a lovely woman who cares about her customers. The staff is nice and helpful. Sometimes things get a bit lost in translation. The ambiance is lacking as it is more of a fast food-looking place, but don't let that stop you from going! Last trip, I had dumplings and noodles that rocked my world. I was so happy! The one bad thing about this place is the sewage smell from the building both times I have visited. I hate it because they can't do anything about it! It isn't their fault and shouldn't keep you from delicious noodles, but it is very noticeable when you walk in. The bathrooms are down a back hall in this strip center so if you have an elderly visitor, it is kind of a walk to get to them. Heads up.

I was in the mood for a Boba drink, and I looked for the closest spot where I was at here in…read moreAurora, Colorado... on the first drink my eyes were glued on was the pink butterfly.. not bad!! Food 5/5 the pink dragon drink with Boba added was absolutely delicious. I'm kind of disappointed that after reading a lot of reviews people were complaining about the inconsistency of the drink... this is my first time here since I travel for work across the states and they didn't miss on this drink. It's absolutely amazing. Every sip was very refreshing not too much ice and the right amount of Boba I like.. if only this drink came in a gallon size it was very good Service 5/5 as soon as I stepped into the establishment it seem to be a group of kids huddled up, just talking behind the counter, but once they seen me, they're all got ready to work and came to my aid immediately asking questions.. very polite and intelligent young kids. They were very engaging and interested about my work, since I mentioned to them that I travel across the states for work. They worked on my drink quickly and continued engaging and wanted to know how I like the drink.. I told them immediately it was very delicious and I was impressed! Good job guys keep up the good work.. Ambience 5/5 as per usual everything was very neatly organized and nice lounging chairs to sit in that were made out of leather , it was very comfortable to be in and their whole menu was digitally displayed brightly and confidently. Everything was clean and properly maintained...
