Strawberry Matcha
Kyna V.

They actually have such good food here and they have a good selection of drinks. I loved my strawberry matcha. Service was good and this place is very cute with a lot of seating.

Htea is spacious and has that lowkey afternoon tea interior and vibe. My coworker and I met for boba at Htea since he claims there's nothing good in Novi. Ordering was really easy, and we had zero issues placing orders at the kiosk. STRAWBERRY MATCHA (L) - 6.95 + light ice, less sugar, almond milk (+1), no whipped cream Only the large option is available for this drink. The drink was incredibly strawberry forward, with very little matcha flavor. Strawberry flavor also didn't taste fresh, more like clumpy puree. It was still a bit too sweet for me. I didn't really like what I got, but my coworker liked his Thai Storm. I'll have to try a different drink or one of their many food items next time. It seems like a pretty chill spot to meet up with people or get some work done.

HTEA is a place that should actually be on billboards, if it isn't, then it COULD be on billboards. This place feels like something that IF it were to become viral, it would be a worldwide phenomenon. It just seems very trendy, very attractive, and VERY inoffensive. And you know what? I don't like that. You're probably asking, Dave, why do you always refuse to hate things that are really great? Because I'm scared. I'm scared that one day, I'm going to come across a restaurant or a food spot that is so, genuinely, TOP OF THE BAR... it will take over my personal taste. Believe it or not, I'm scared of change. But I must face my fears. I must admit to myself everyday when I look in the mirror. I say DAVE. This place is MAGNIFICENT. The Boba here is actually second to none; smooth, delicious, made with love by TRUE believers. I forgot what I got. I was so excited to order that I had my girlfriend snap me out of four different psychosis's while I was taking my drinks on the computer. Spot on interior, it's so classy and bright. The flower decor feels so clean and dreamy, sunset sensational; warm. When I told the barista girls how much I loved my drinks, they were so happy, I never could've expected how high they jumped in the air when I told them how good my drinks were. And you know what? For just a split-second, I didn't feel afraid anymore. I felt like I could comfortably walk out, look upon the sky with my matcha in my hand, and meditate until I get to my car. In other words, I could move on knowing that this place not only leaves a smile on my face, but the place itself. (5/5)

I have actually been here twice now, last week and today. I have been seeing this place online and on Yelp for a while, and finally had the chance to stop in. By the time I was able to try this place, the menu had changed from the first rendition of their food offerings. The place is absolutely adorable! I love the décor, they have tables and fun couches and chairs with oversized cushions, and a shabby chic tea house aesthetic, which is what I think they are going for since they have the Shabby Chic book you can flip through. They also have tons of games you can play while you relax. They have reproductions of oil paintings and have themed the place with a black and white toile like pattern that is featured on their bowls, cups, and napkins. It is very cute. Both times I have been had been the middle of the weekday, but there are other customers around, which is good. The first time there was a man vlogging for his Insta Tiktok channel as well. The people working here both times were very nice and helpful. Both times they went out of their way to be accommodating. The first time there we ordered a couple drinks, a milk tea and pineapple tea. My drink was delicious. We also got food, we got the peanut noodles, beef udon soup with bok choy, and crispy fried chicken. All of the food was excellent. The chicken was crispy, the beef was very tender, and the peanut noodles were amazing. The first time they did seem a bit overwhelmed. Each time it seems like there are only two people working the shop and it took a very long time to get our food and drinks, but the flavors more than made up for it. We also got dessert which we were told the cakes are made fresh inhouse. We got ube tiramisu and original tiramisu. Both were excellent and very flavorful. I liked the portions but it is a bit pricy here. The second time I got a purple cloud drink with crystal jellies for my child, it was also excellent and tasted very good. The person working here the second time explained that they have a different menu because they got rid of the pizza oven and wanted a more uniform menu. I wonder if there were trying out what works since it seems to be a family business. So far, all of the people working here and 2D DYI have been very friendly and welcoming. We will be back.

Overpriced & lacking flavor. This place is all style no substance. The decor was absolutely beautiful and everything on their menu and dessert case was stunning. I wish that the beauty matched the taste. We did not order any drinks, but we did order 2 desserts. We tried the pistachio raspberry cheesecake and the chocolate tiramisu. On both the desserts the tastiest thing was the Ferraro rocher that was decoration on top. Neither of the desserts had much flavor at all and lacked any complexity. Just tasted mildly sweet. For two desserts totaling me $21, they better at least taste good. Service was fine, nothing to complain about at all and like I said the restaurant itself is beautiful. Overall this place was crazy disappointing and I do not recommend.

Hot chai milk tea - delicious!
Stephanie A.

Super cute, decent sized tea shop that also offers sweet treats. I tried the chai milk tea - regular sugar and hot. It was so good, I will be back just for the drink and will stay for the treats. Looks like you can use the kiosk but I ordered at the counter and I had my drink in a few minutes.

An aesthetic place to hang out with good dessert & Boba. There's also an option for food, so you can really stay to study or work or just hang out. The place is small & it seems to fill up every time I've been. I really like the different milk teas they offer, it's different from everyone else since there's different teas to choose from. All have a good strong flavor of tea, which I like. Their fruit teas is also really good, the right amount of sweetness or get 50% if you don't like it too sweet. The Boba is a little on the soft side for my liking. They also have other sides, my favorite being the osmanthyst jelly to go with the fruit tea. Which I don't see often. As for their dessert. It's pretty solid. Don't expect super sweet since this is an Asian place. Perfect amount of sweetness, which is not too sweet. The tiramisu is probably my favorite & then the crepes cake.

First and foremost, one of the best boba shops in the Detroit and metro area. From the authentic boba options, to the tasty but not overwhelming priced food options served as a perfect place to study, play cards, or just chat with a friend in a nice inviting ambiance. I went with the Taro tea option (delicious) , but fell in love with the Strawberry matcha milk tea. 10/10 They even brought it to our table, great service.

Aminah K.

This cafe has such a cute aesthetic. They serve variety of coffee drinks, boba, savory items and sweet items. The tiramisu latte here is so delicious and creamy. It is sweet without being overwhelmingly sweet. I'm come back to try the food amd desserts.

Really cute interior! Came on a Saturday for lunch and there weren't many people. Service was friendly and fast. We tried the taiwanese beef noodle soup which was tasty and a pretty generous portion for the price. I really liked the passionfruit tea with half sugar. The Jasmine green tea latte we got with less sugar, but would have been better with half sugar. Their drinks are not that sweet to begin with and emphasize the tea which I like. The mango sunrise was our least favorite drink. Not bad but it tasted like orange instead of mango.

Lychee rose tiramisu
Elaine W.

Truly the best milk tea and dessert place in town. Been there twice already since they opened. Tried both the jasmine milk tea and peach milk tea. Both tasted super authentic and just amazing. Not too sweet. Dessert is on the pricier side but totally worth it. A must try place! Store interior is also super cute! Well designed. Lots of instagram-able areas. Cute place to hang with friends. Friendly staff as well!

Tiramisu latte
Mehruba A.

Adorably decorated cafe that gives off Bridgerton x Parisan cafe vibes. Every corner is photographable. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I tried the peach milk tea and I wasn't a huge fan. The peach flavor is very subtle, and the milk isn't particularly strong either (almost like watered down milk tea). The staff was kind enough to replace my drink for me, and I got the tiramisu iced latte with cheese foam instead. I did like this slightly more, although I don't see myself getting again. Definitely will be returning to try other items off the menu, as they had an assortment of desserts that looked incredible.

Inside. Order at counter and they yell for your name.

Logistics. On southwest corner of Maple and Coolidge, in a strip mall. Vibe. Quaint. Asian aesthetics. TVs with menus posted. Huge pastry display when you walk in at the order counter. There are also kiosks to order online as well. We ordered at the counter, and sat ourselves. They yell for your name and bring out your order to your table. Comestibles and Potables. The Oreo and Matcha add Pistachio lattes were creamy and delicious. The Pistachio cookie was soft, not sweet, but good. The Postickers were excellent -- crisp-chewy combo, savory filling, and excellent dipping sauce. Hospitality. Counter help was friendly and knowledgeable. HOWEVER... super sad on the delivery time for the Postickers. The food deliverer said it would be an additional 5 minutes. So, after waiting 15 minutes, I went to the counter to inquire on the situation.... wondering, if these are so delayed because they are painstakingly slowly handmaking them, were they out of product, all sorts of stories I am swirling in my mind. Then, I was told it will take 5 minutes. Finally, after 10 minutes, it was delivered. I had to make it known that it took at least 25 minutes for this delivery after inquiring twice about them, and told it would take 5 minutes. She apologized, explaining it was an internal issue -- but acknowledged finally my disappointment of the service. So, she offered a dessert to make me feel better. It was appreciated that something was offered for acknowledging how bummed I was and owning their error. It recovered my annoyance, and earned them 4 stars instead of 3. Of note. Lot parking. Loos were cleaned and stocked. The hours posted on the front glass doors erroneously say: 11am-12pm. But obviously we were there past 12pm and the place was PACKED. Great 3rd space and may come back.

Oh Szechuan Gourmet, I've got it bad for you. Your food is so good-tasty and fresh, never greasy or…read moresoggy. So fast. So flavorful. Love the husband and wife duo that run this place. BUUT why are you closed every time I'm craving Chinese? I get it. Everyone deserves time off. You're a small family business. Work-life balance, as they say! But I want my (huge, perfectly crisp, bursting with deliciousness) egg rolls dammit! I've even got my parents who live in Arizona hooked on you like a drug. Only to be disappointed whenever they are in town-sure enough you are closed! It's becoming a running joke in my family. I'll call and get a busy signal on your single phone line as many times as it takes (11, to be exact tonight). Today, I hit rock bottom and ended up getting the most awful/greasy/disappointing almond boneless chicken and salty weird wonton soup from another establishment, like an addict who needs her fix). Never again. I understand that good things come to those who wait... I'll keep waiting for you, Szechuan Gourmet. Please be gentle with my heart. And my tastebuds. And my GI tract.

Awful food, even worse people. Incredibly rude to customers! It was the absolute worst customer…read moreexperience I have ever had in a restaurant, take-out or otherwise, by far! The guy "tag-teamed" his wife to come out of the kitchen and bicker with me, right in front of multiple other customers, when I "dared" to speak up about their tone and attitude, then repeatedly pointed to a sign on the wall that said "we match your energy" (AKA: "we reserve the right to be total a****les for any and all perceived slights, real or imagined") when I had the "audacity" to complain about how they spoke to me and my dad on the phone and in-person. They were furious that my elderly dad was "taking too long" to place his order for four people (he was not, at all) and acting like it's somehow our fault that they only have a single phone line. Give me a break (take-out only establishment, by the way). They then proceeded to promptly cancel my dad's order and shoo me out, all the while cussing at me in Mandarin, at which point I walked out of there (for the last time). You would do well to AVOID this place at all costs, trust. Not to mention, I've had their food more than a few times before, and it is not even NEARLY good enough to justify them being this nasty towards their patrons. Their offerings are the very definition of "sodium-infused slop" and "mediocre at best" and they act like we are lucky to be allowed to purchase them. What a joke! Do yourself a HUGE favor (like I did) and pay a little extra for a place with WAY better people and service, and MILES better quality food, places such as Shangri-La (amazing!), for example. Never, ever again. You have been warned!
