Refreshing, especially on a hot Texas afternoon. Former coffee shop and specialty tea shop barista here! I haven't been the biggest fan of Kokee in the past, but decided to stop by this location as I'd never tried this location before and it was just too hot out. I ordered a simple House Milk Tea without boba. When I placed my order I'd made sure to specify 'no boba,' but the barista had to ask me twice rather confusedly in the short duration of her inputting the order if I wanted boba, admitting she'd forgotten. I'd ordered one item and was the only customer in line at that time so I'm not sure why my declining boba was so difficult to remember. Regardless, the tea was out fast and was indeed refreshing; the black tea was fragrant in flavor and the drink wasn't watered down by ice. If you're out for some shopping at La Cantera I could recommend stopping by if you're in the mood for boba tea. However, I'd double check your receipt to make sure the baristas got your order right just in case. read more

It's nice having a boba option while shopping. Decided to give Kokee Tea a try. They advertise as having all natural cane sugar in their teas and natural ingredients. They offer a variety of milk teas, matcha, fruit teas, ice blends, and cold brew mixes. We got the coffee milk tea, brown sugar cold brew, and the honey milk tea. All our drinks tasted watered down---I would describe it as drinking milk & water. Barely tasted any coffee or tea. Couldn't finish my drink. Will have to give them another chance with other drinks (maybe), but for now Kokee Tea did not satisfy my boba craving. Pretty disappointed. read more

I'm Cuckoo for Kokee Tea! That very well might have been the worst way to start a review of Kokee Tea lol, but after consuming a rather disappointing pretzel from nearby Wetzel's Pretzels, I needed something cold to battle this South Texas heat. Enter Sonny! No, I mean Kokee Tea! lol Just like Wetzel's Pretzels, Kokee Tea is situated in a small little shack in the middle of the walkways at The Shops at La Cantera. On the exterior, there are photos of their menu offerings ranging from milk teas to ice blended drinks. For the ice blended drinks, they offer slushies, which are water-based, and smoothies, which are milk-based. There's usually a line here, but the service is pretty fast. Even in the midst of a heat wave, don't let the long line deter you, or better yet, save the cold drink when you pass by the boba shop another time. While you can see the menu offerings outside, they don't list prices. In fact, you can't see the prices until you walk up to the order counter, and even so, I actually couldn't even find the smoothies section of the menu, so for a few seconds, I almost thought that the smoothies I initially saw were no longer offered. I asked the cashier (Maddox?) about it, and he confirmed they still offer those drinks. They were just in the ice-blended section, and the word "smoothie" had a pretty small font size. Hopefully, they will listen to my suggestions on how to better improve the look of their menu, both inside and outside. I had my eyes set on the Oreo Smoothie only because earlier this year, when I was back home in SoCal, I was in a really bad mood one day. I went to a boba shop and ordered a cookies & cream smoothie with crystal boba. The smoothie instantly made my day and gave me enough energy to power through the day sans catnap. I ordered pretty much the exact same smoothie, crystal boba included. After paying, the receipt had my order number on top, so there was no need for buzzers. It took a couple of minutes before my order number was called out, and the bobarista handed me my drink. I had to grab a boba straw on the counter before enjoying the smoothie. The smoothie was cold and tasty. However, the flavor didn't come out as strong compared to the one I had in SoCal. I literally inhaled it, but not necessarily because I enjoyed it that much. Rather, I was trying to cool myself off after walking around the outdoor shopping center for quite some time. I was hoping to get the flavor rush that my taste buds desired, but it never happened, unfortunately. That's not to say the smoothie was bad. It was good, but definitely not 5 star good by any means. At least the crystal boba was QQ, but it wouldn't be enough to bump my rating up to 5 stars. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the smoothie well enough to recommend Kokee Tea for your Bubble Tea needs! read more

Been going here for years. Always have great chewy boba. Went today only to find out they cut their menu by more than half!!! They no longer carry my favorite sweet cloud green tea!! I got a different flavor with honey boba and the boba wasn't cooked long enough!! It was hard!! Ruined my day honestly. This place has officially gone downhill. Will have to find a new boba place read more

"The drinks were amazing and tasted really good. I recommend coming here and trying it!" Service was great

Quick and friendly service. Great boba tea! We ordered the Mango Passion Fruit Tea with Honey Boba and it was delicious!

The taro smoothie flavor was good but the boba had zero flavor. They need to do a better job of flavoring the boba otherwise what is the point. read more

Kokee Tea - Dream of Butterfly Tea and Purple Love Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Tried them today. Nada Elseifi was nice and friendly. Purple love with honey boba was good. I felt like the boba could be a bit better. 4.5/5 House Milk Tea with honey boba was ok. You can feel the tea in it but didn't really enjoy it. 3/5 May try some more flavors the next time I get a chance. read more

Kokee Tea - Purple love with honey boba and house milk tea with honey boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

WOW, I mean wow!!!! I'm so surprised that a boba place in the mall can be the best milk tea I've had in San Antonio! San Antonio is severely lacking in its boba options. There aren't very many places where you can customize your drinks! This place beats a lot of boba chains like Kung Fu Tea! It's similar to Sharetea and other quality chains! You can customize sweetness level and ice levels. They also have sooo many options, and they all sound super tasty. I got my usual (jasmine milk tea)! They have honey boba but didn't have it when I was there. I'm guessing cause they're still new? They also have so many milk options, like organic and almond! I love that they don't use that powder creamer crap! Also the most important part is the tea is perfect! They have special machines brewing and dispensing tea! The flavor of the teas are on point and strong! Not that weak fake stuff at some boba places! Definitely try this place out, it's worth the trip to La Cantera mall! It's in one of those booth/stalls in between shops. It's close to forever21 and the food court area! I can't wait to go back and try one of their speciality drinks! They have some many cool options! read more

Kokee Tea - Menu! - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Was strolling around La Cantera on a hot December day and decided to have a little boba tea. My Mom and I shared the Taro tea since we never tried it before. We added the little black beads and we happy to find out that we can also customize the sweetness level since we don't like anything too sweet. The drink took about 7 minutes to be prepared and was a pretty purple color, with earthy flavor and not too sweet. It did have quite a bit of ice in it, so I didn't think that $7 was a good value for what we got, but it was definitely delicious...good as an occasional treat read more

Super delicious! Awesome service. Super cute place! Got a new cow bag there that I love so much!

We love boba....but....While my drink, Peach Green Tea with mango jellies was AMAZING my Daughter dumped a full Oreo Milk Tea with Boba she said it was horrible. The Boba ruined the entire drink. If we return it's likely we will stick with the green teas and jellies and skip the boba here. read more

Kokee Tea - Foreground Peach Green Tea and background Oreo Milk Tea with Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Great location at la canters. I thought it was pretty easy to find. I give 5 star for the flavor. But They open at 11am went to order at 1140 but they said boba wasn't cooked yet. So this was very disappointing. I just told them to go ahead and give me what they had. I would definitely try it again. The Oreo CC brown sugar was really good. The girls that was working was very nice and helpful. read more

If you are not ready, please do not open. Why do I need to get an attitude for you guys being late? Also, even if you are not ready, you except me to pay full price? read more

Great collection of flavors. Tried their strawberry milk tea with honey boba and loved it!

First time visit! In a word... ugh. I was drawn to this little shack because there was a long line and I was craving an after-meal milk tea boba drink. Have never heard of the place before, but must be real popular for good reason! So there is justtNone register going and maybe 3 girls total working on drinks. They're a mess. The orders are slow in being taken because the cashier is also helping prepare drinks. She is very unprofessional, no smile, no greeting, no eye contact. If you need an ago boost, acknowledgment that you are alive, forget about it. LOL! The order are coming out slowly and in the wrong order. How do you go from Number 18 to Number 13, then back up again??? Smh. My Kokee Milk Tea was thin, could've been made with skim milk for all I know, and waaaaay too sweet. I'd like to consider myself a tea connoisseur of the milkier persuasion and this place was a disappointment. Some other observations: one size of drink only, no food that I could see, the straws are hell to remove from their plastic sleeves and the most popular drink is the Purple Love. Not sure what the Purple Love is, but they were leaving the pick-up window like angry hornets from the hive. Ha! I make myself laugh. Hehe. Check out my photos for menu items. read more

The drinks were okay. I got the taro drink, and my husband got the honey milk tea. I feel like the drinks have potential to be better, maybe next time. Also the cashier was very unprofessional and was not very knowledgeable about the menu. I asked about the different milk options they offer, and she could not tell me. They were very slow and inefficient. I would not recommend this place especially with the poor customer service. read more

Kokee Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Located inside the Shops of La Cantera, this boba tea stand is a great place if you want to get some quick refreshments while you stroll through the mall. I ended up gettin the taro milk, but they had a bunch of different options to choose from. The price is decent, kind of pricy but I felt was made up by the taste. They had a lot of options you can customize and a lot of additional toppings to choose from. If you like Boba tea, definitely check this place out. I would definitely place this place up there with Kung Fu Tea, Gong Cha, and other boba places. read more

horrible time at kokee tea . I am usually a regular paying customer and this time around a worker handing drinks in the back was not wearing a mask. Seems really disrespectful to other customers who may not realize someone who may not be vaccinated is making their drinks. Even with a big sign posted saying " mask required " it seems not even the workers can follow this simple rule during covid times. On top of not wearing masks, drinks were not called out to customers and instead were left sitting on counter where they became watered down. I waited a good 25 mins in the rain only to leave disappointed with a mediocre drink. Not worth the wait or $15 spent. Getting refund was also a hastle . Was shortned $2 from my refund and workers were disrespectful and rude. Definitely not worth anyones time. read more

I always get a drink here every time I come to La Cantera. Great little shop smack in the middle of the mall. Employees are friendly, and the service is decently fast, considering the types of drinks. Definitely one of my top bubble tea places in SA read more

Great place to grab a quick cool drink for the hot summer weather. I got the mango passion fruit with strawberry boba, and it was pretty good! Only thing, it had a bit of a weird bitter taste behind it, but it wasn't at all strong and I didn't mind it. Definitely check it out! read more

Not welcoming or helpful :( I just wanted a taro boba and i had to explain myself 3 times for something so simple. Looked mad all the time. Time on doing it was fair. Taste tasted half assed read more

Even though they are a bubble tea shop, don't expect to be able to order boba within the first hour of opening. We went there today at 11:20am (they open at 11) and the girl working told us we'd have to wait another hour if we wanted boba. So ridiculous. read more

Waited a long time to order, which is fine...not a huge deal, but it was hot outside so was getting irritated. When it came time to order, I was greeted by a cashier who had little knowledge of the drinks. They didn't have any of the flavors I wanted so I settled on just a coffee with boba. Then I ordered 2 more drinks: 1 Strawberry ice blended slush that the cashier told me they didn't have, but then after I was ordering a different drink, changed her mind because she got confused about the boba type. They were actually out of the strawberry boba, not drink. So I ordered that with honey dew boba and she asked me if I'd like it to be a slush or smoothie, I said slush. Then I ordered 1 Oreo ice blended smoothie with no boba and she asked the same question, slush or smoothie, I said smoothie. They both came out as slushees. I told her one was wrong and she "oh, the ice just melts really fast." Seriously? that's pathetic customer service. We never got a new one. What a waste of time and money. Don't recommend. read more

Super good drinks and good service :)) Cashier was super nice, fast service when there isn't a long line.

This is one of my favorite boba tea places! I don't understand how it has a few bad reviews... the employees are nice and helpful, they answered any questions I had! Some people complain about them running out of the tapioca pearls but they have so many other options on their menu, popping boba and jellies! And I read that someone complained about "the straws [being] hell to remove from their plastic sleeves." I mean that is not their fault... it's not that hard; about there not being any food... it's called Kokee TEA, ridiculous! Others say the teas are "too sweet" that's why we have the choice to adjust the sweetness in our drinks people! Everyone should make sure to really look at the menu and ask questions! Anyway, these are my favorite teas: Brown Sugar Milk Tea, Coconut Milk Tea, Strawberry Virgin Mojito, Dream of Butterfly, and the Purple Love (Taro Milk Tea)! read more

This is the best boba tea place in sam Antonio hands down, customer service is phenomenal and quality is unmatched

Was craving boba so I went to kokeetea. Great service! Tea is delicious. Love Christine. Very attentive. Very clean.

This place has crystal boba! If you haven't had it before, it's soft and chewy just like regular boba but better! The house milk tea is pretty good! read more

They had an awful long line, very over priced, and it was a group of us we all got the same order besides 2 of us 4 others were a taro bubble tea with boba and that's not what we got idk what we got but it was very gross and the boba wasn't all the way done and was very very gross. We all threw ours away and just got Starbucks if I could give 0 stars I WOULD. If you want a good place go to the alien cafe on dezevala road not here 0/10 recommend!! read more

The service is good and the teas are delicious. The only thing I'm concerned about is the environment that their employees have to work in. I went today and of course it's very hot outside. The air conditioner was not working properly and you could tell that the two girls were extremely hot inside that tiny building. The sun shines directly into the window where they stand, making it very hot in there. The employees were working very hard to complete orders, even though they were hot, but the ac needs to be fixed for them. Also, it would be nice for management to have a canopy in front of the building to give customers shade. Hoping to see changes soon. read more
