    Menu outside. Would have helped a lot if they had posted prices on there

    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!

    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.

    Virgin peach Mojito the flavor was very bad look that lime

    My drink have bad flavor No ice also that ugly lime Friday morning the service was very rude cause I tell him to do it again with a new lime‍ I'm never come back for a Tea.

    Extensive selection of teas and smoothies! I love the location too. I had the taro coconut milk bubble tee and my sister had Dream of Butterfly which is like a magic lemonade taste!

    Purple love with honey boba and house milk tea with honey boba
    Nanda K.

    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.

    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!

    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

    Strawberry milk tea and the house milk tea with earl grey- both with honey boba- I preferred the house milk as it wasn't as sweet as the strawberry. The boba here is excellent. Tender with a nice chew.

    Perused the reviews here and found out I'm not the only one who experienced the same sub par…read morecustomer service. This is not our regular go-to Tealicious location but last Friday night since we were around the area after our errands at HEB, we decided to visit. We've been here several times before and I thought perhaps it was just an isolated incident. I let my emotions die down too that's why I waited this long. Just bought four drinks from our regular neighborhood Tealicious on Potranco near 1604 and just can't help finally posting this objective review. Back to the Tealicious by HEB Bandera experience, they are totally consistent...consistently providing a horrible customer service experience. The young lady in the cash register was simply impersonal, dull, and snobbish. Again, we thought this was isolated but on all those several instances we visited this location, we have exactly the same sub par customer service experience. This afternoon visit at Tealicious on Potranco, I asked the young lady if the owners are the same on both locations, she verified it not the same. The staff at the Bandera location needs to learn from these excellent staff members at Potranco. No matter what time of day, or day of the week and no matter who's tending the store, the customer service at Tealicious Potranco is consistently stellar. My experience this afternoon at Tealicious Potranco made me finally decide to post my unacceptable customer service experience at Tealicious Badera. Never ever again visiting Tealicious at Badera, we'll always be loyal to our neighborhood Tealicious at Potranco! The best in customer service, consistent at all times!

I went with a vanilla milk tea with strawberry popping boba and it was pretty good but not quite the same. Not sure if they had strawberries syrup to add to the sides of the cup but that would have made a big difference. I would still recommend you give it a try.

    I like the other location (cuz it's bigger and nicer), but this particular one is the closest to…read moreme. Artea is a pretty decent chain with a wide variety of loose-leaf teas, milk teas & lattes, frozen milk teas/drinks, and a huge selection of specialty drinks such as "cucumber lychee bliss", "strawberry lychee lime green tea," or "mango coconut paradise." They also have a big selection of toppings. I love how they have basil seeds and red bean (2 of my favs). I'm pretty picky about my milk teas, but Artea's has been consistent and not watered down like most. Their food menu, although is quite pricey on some items, are pretty tasty. We tried the $24 ribeye steak fried rice and was pretty happy with it. The bento boxes are a bargain. Parm garlic aioli fries were good. Tonkatsu ramen was with "udon" like noodles, which was different. Lots of finger foods/appetizers to enjoy with your boba. They have a small dessert selection (fried oreos & matcha ice cream). I would say it's one of the better boba joints in San Antonio. My only complaint is that they run out of items on a regular basis--happens more often than I would like--ex: wintermelon milk tea (which is hard to get nowadays, unless you go to KFT).

The boba is delicious and always hits the spot. The food menu is great too!! I've tried the popcorn chicken, poke nachos, and bento boxes, and everything has been solid. Super chill vibe with games and lots of UTSA students studying, so it's perfect for hanging out or getting some work done. Fast service, good quality, and I've never had any issues. Definitely recommend.
