If a place consistently delivers quality drinks, strong execution, and keeps us coming back, that earns a top rating from me. Teadm absolutely does that. We go to Teadm in Sterling often, and it has become one of our go to spots for drinks. Their Brown Sugar Milk Tea with boba is outstanding. Rich, creamy, and full of flavor, with the kind of texture that keeps you coming back for another sip. One thing I really appreciate is that their milk teas are actually milky and creamy. They are not thin or watery like at some other places. Also, the added traditional boba is excellent! It is consistently chewy, fresh tasting, and cooked perfectly every time. That kind of consistency matters, and they clearly pay attention to quality. They also offer a Brown Sugar Milk option with no caffeine, which is fantastic for the kiddos. Same creamy, satisfying flavor profile without the caffeine, and that has made it a family favorite. Another consistent winner is their Seasalt Bac Xiu Coffee. It never disappoints. Great balance of sweetness, coffee flavor, and that salted cream element that makes it so enjoyable. We have also tried the Color Switch Lemonade, which is good and fun to order. If I could offer one suggestion, I would love to see a classic simple lemonade or a lychee lemonade added to the menu as well. Overall, this place rocks. Great drinks, consistent quality, family friendly options, and the kind of menu that keeps us coming back. A solid 5 stars from me.

If a place delivers quality drinks, good variety, and meets expectations for what it is trying to be, that earns a strong rating from me. We recently visited Y-Tea for boba. Overall, it was an okay experience, but nothing especially memorable. The milk tea was decent and certainly drinkable, but it did not stand out in flavor, texture, or quality compared with stronger boba spots we have visited. It was fine, just nothing special. One disappointment for our family was the lack of lemonade options. The kiddos were hoping for something along those lines, so that limited the menu for them and took away a bit from the experience. There was nothing bad about the visit, but nothing that really wowed us either. Overall, I would call Y-Tea a solid 3 stars. It is fine if you are nearby and want a boba fix, but for us it did not separate itself from the pack.

Very interesting concept as this place seems to be more of a dessert shop, I am curious on how good the viet food is.. maybe one day! I ordered the valentine bingsu which consist of a bunch of fruit and vanilla ice cream. The bingsu was advertised with "milky ice flavor" which I did not taste the "milky" part. The shredded ice was a great consistency, though! Easy to scoop up, melts fast, & not ice-y which to me is crucial to a decent bingsu. The strawberries paired were great and very sweet, the peach felt like it was from a can, pineapple gave off canned vibes, except it was extremely bitter and basically gone bad. Mangoes were OK not very sweet and Vanilla ice cream was good but you can't go wrong with that if it's store-bought. Overall would give this a 5/10 maybe 4.5/10. You order on the kiosk or at the counter. I opted for the kiosk as the employees were busy, I did however asked at the counter to Change my order after once I realized they had the valentine bingsu since I was feeling more fruit desserts (originally ordered the strawberry & cream). They were accommodating which I appreciated! Service was nice for the most part - the guy that served me my order did not acknowledge me when I said thank you... or when we took him the dish after the food and said thanks again lol service can be spotty based on who you get I guess? Again Curious on the viet food here!

Very good. And $25 for those three items was a bit of a steal, especially since the rolls were huge. They have a cute little toy/knickknack area, too. Ohhh, and there's a kids table with coloring supplies. It's small and intimate but very cute. Jasmine milk tea: delicious. Jasmine apparent and can be tasted but not overwhelming. Honestly, though, what I loved most was the service. I think the owner was the man working and he was so sweet. Him and the young woman working were so nice and even so patient with my little when she was paying for her items. I'd recommend and return!

They also have some snacks and a couple of mains if you are super hungry. On Fri, Sat they sell spam musubi. The pork eggrolls are SUPER delicious: full of meat and the eggroll wrapping is the best, reminiscent of the original Four Sisters. Parking is easy since the Giant grocery closed so many spaces in the lot.

Recently came back to try this location again after a waffle craving. They had bubble waffle…read morespecials going on, and I decided to try the Summer Crunch bubble waffle. It was actually quite delectable! It hit the right spot for my cravings! The Summer Crunch croffle has granola, banana, strawberries, vanilla gelato and raspberry sauce. It was a great combination of crunch and sweet and savory! I also ordered a white peach fruit tea, which is pretty much my order of choice every time I've stopped by. As always, their staff are polite and come ready with their recommendations if you need them. The shop is fairly clean, and I've noticed that they have a pretty steady foot traffic. In the summer/warmer months, I've definitely noticed a lot of groups hang out in the shop. They don't have a lot of people staying to enjoy their orders in the middle of the day, so I think they'd be a good spot to do some remote work if you wanted to. Overall, solidly good experience. I would definitely recommend the croffles. The boba can still be a hit or miss.

It was good but not any different than I could get elsewhere. I ordered a mango fruit tea with boba. She ordered a Tiger Tea which is their version of brown sugar tea. It was good but I thought she's had better versions of it elsewhere. The service was quick and the gentleman working convinced us to stay in and try the boba. The ambiance is probably where they try to get people inside. There's hanging chairs which is kinda cool. If you want boba that Mochinut doesn't serve next door, then this place is serviceable. But there's tons of other boba places that I personally think are better if you are willing to drive.

They carry a lot of cute plushies that include boba drink plushies and panda plushies. I ordered the mango green tea without any toppings and customized with 50% sweetness and less ice. With changing the sweetness level of boba, it's always a gamble on how it's going to affect the overall drink (most of the time, regular sweetness level is too much for me). The drink was okay, I wish there was more mango flavor in it though. I think maybe 75% sweetness would fix it, but I'm really not sure. Overall, I think it's an okay boba tea shop. If I'm at Dulles Town Center again, maybe I'll stop by and try a milk tea instead.

I just ordered a bubble waffle since that was what I was craving, but usually people will get the waffle with ice cream (there's plenty of flavor options with toppings).
