What a charming little boba shop! As with all specialty places, the smaller their menu, the more proficient they usually are at it! A lot of their Boba is more focused toward coffee and dessert ( ice cream ) options, but their coffee and tea options are excellent for what they have. We were helped by the very charismatic and very helpful Jean-Luc. He was very attentive to our special requests and gave a lot of feedback and concerns to our drinks. He even let us taste test our drinks before he finished making them in case we wanted to adjust it before he completed it. I've never had this level of service at a boba place! For example, I don't like things very sweet so he started low and gave us a taste and said he could add more sweetness if needed. Overall if I'm in the area and feeling like a boba, I'm hoping Jean-Luc can help me and my kids out again! They're very picky when it comes to Boba! read more

A nice Boba spot to try. I had their Pink Panda (strawberry drink with cookies & cream ice cream) and I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was! The ice cream mixed nicely with the drink. I really liked the combo of the flavor together. The service was good. Server was very nice and helpful. The drink was quick to be made. I'd say the pricing is good for the types of drinks they service. Ambiance isn't crazy. The boba place is basically a booth in a multiple-restaurant plaza. read more

Ended up popping in here after getting takeout from Luc Lac where classic Thai tea isn't on the menu. We were sitting right outside the entrance to the food hall where MILK+T is located so figured we'd check the menu. The guy working was SO nice, I wish I had his name because his customer service and disposition was genuinely the high point of stopping in here. After ordering, he said he'd bring them right outside to our table which was very nice. The Thai tea was perfect!! I'd love to go back and try one of the boba drinks. read more

Crossing by this lovely cozy corner and had to stop for some boba drinks. It was beyond my expectation. The aroma of infused tea balanced well with creamy milk. The boba texture was on point and chewy. Jean Luc, the owner, was great to talk to. I can see a lot of effort that was put into this place. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great cup of milk tea. read more

Cute little boba bar at the entrance of the food hall, serving delicious bubble tea! I love that all the syrups are homemade and the toppings are fresh (and free). I got the strawberry gt, which had the right balance of sweetness from the fresh strawberry syrup and bitterness from the green tea. I'll have to come back because there were so many different drinks I wanted to try, like the ice cream series or the Piglet. Highly recommend checking this place out! read more

The shop is located inside The Portland Food Hall. Jean-Luc (the owner) greeted us and took our order. He made sure our drinks were made to our exact preference. EXCELLENT SERVICE. The drinks we ordered are comparable to some of the best from the Bay Area and SoCal. The price is great compared to what other places are charging and toppings are complimentary.

A little mini boba shop in the midst of a food fall. Heard a lot about this place given their large location elsewhere and their glass containers. I love the creativity of their boba names and the simplicity of their menu. Even though the shop doesn't have their own store front, they still give a clean aesthetic. There is just one person working the counter from what I can tell and there are seats in the food hall to chill. Pretty "average" taste overall. Boba does not have a strong tea flavor, but the flavors listed were present. I think $6.5 is expensive for average boba, but I can be short changing the preparation put into each boba. Glass container is super nice and I appreciate them asking whether I wanted the boba in it or not (I did not want the drink in the container). Given how much I liked this location, I am interested in visiting their bigger one... read more

Milk+T recently opened this "mini" store in the downtown Portland Food Hall. It truly is mini, a small counter and prep area tucked into the corner right by the entrance. If you know this business, you know it's women-owned, Asian-owned, LGBTQ-owned, and aims to be environmentally friendly. They started as a food truck and have since opened a handful of locations. Totally a business worth supporting! They offer a free glass jar for your boba (yay for reusables!). The straw provided is compostable. The boba and drinks themselves are delicious, in my opinion. Sweetness is customizable. For the Thai Tea, they shook it up so it was nicely mixed and there was some great froth on top. Their ordering system is very modern - you will receive a text when it is ready. You can also pre-order. Drink in the Portland Food Hall with a food item from another spot, or take it to go. Either way, you'll enjoy it! read more

Didn't realize it is little kiosk counter tucked into the front corner of a narrow food hall and we almost gave up looking (really couldn't tell from the outside). Menu is short, so naturally I was expecting the drinks to be extra tasty. My Slothee Coffee was drinkable but lacked the bitter coffee punch needed to counter the amount of ice-flecked ice cream in it. So far the PDX boba shops I have tried have been a letdown. The hunt continues! read more

Bought the kids some boba after dinner. It's a bit hard to find as it's located in a food hall. Once there we were very happy with our drinks. Don't forget to check in for a free glass jar!!! My passion fruit drink was on point. Even with regular sugar, I didn't think it was too sweet. Nicely balanced and very refreshing. Kids had the pink panda with boba and Oreo iced cream. I guess you can say it was overkill, but we let the kids order. Not surprised. The owner was super friendly. Would recommend it if you're in the neighborhood. Best wishes to the owner!!!! read more

Stopped by before going back to Seattle. I got the classic milk tea with boba with a free jar. The boba was chewy and milk tea was good with the level of sweetness I wanted. I came here with my friends. They ordered before me. One of them wasn't aware the glass jar costs money and that she had the option to op out of it. If you don't want the glass jar, make sure to let the cashier know. Also, make sure you check in at Yelp to get a free jar. My other friend wasn't aware of the promotion and he bought it.

History

Established in 2015.

MILK+T is a boba bar with a focus on high quality ingredients. It was women and LGBTQ+ owned by an Asian American couple with a mission of providing a safe space for the local community. In 2025, Milk + T came under new ownership. Now we like to say that we are black owned and asian mentored. We still focus on high quality ingredients and aim to curate a welcoming space in the local community!

Meet the Business Owner: Jean-Luc T.

Hi there! I'm Jean-Luc, the new owner of MILK+T. I'm a big fan of quality tea and immaculate vibes, so that's what we're here to deliver! We're black owned, but asian mentored as a good-faith gesture to pay respect the culture that introduced bubble tea to the world. Even if you're not in the mood for tea, we hope to be a safe space in the community for all to gather and I'll always appreciate you stopping by just to say hi :) Cheers

My birthday falls around the holidays so I usually can't make it in, but I want to be clear that I have absolutely zero complaints about that. Adults, especially, should never grumble about not receiving a generous freebie. The fact that they offer it at all speaks volumes about the kind of business they are!

Portland trip pt II featuring Pip's…read more Boyfriend and I visited Pip's before our flight back to LA. We've had pretty much every popular sugary and carby donut that Portland has to offer. A friend of mine recommended Pip's for their bite sized donuts and chai. We came at a right time by waking up early enough to beat the crowd. Service was pretty solid here and the menu is easy to read. Upon seating, they made a whoopsie by giving me a heated chai, but I can overlook that since they gave us an extra donut :) We got brownie butter, cinnamon sugar, and raw honey + salt to share. I got the King and I (made dirty) for my own because I love pandan. They put a lot of care into their product and it definitely shows. Chai was spectacular and donuts were delicious. I'm returning!

Their Victoria pie is my happy place, blueberry flavor. It would likely be my last words, "Blueberry Victoria Pie... Lauretta Jean's..." RIP with Victoria Pie on my tongue. If that isn't heaven what is? Oh yeah don't have single pic to share as I have inhaled both individual slices and whole pies when I have received them. I cannot imagine anyone who has the self control to wait on their dessert long enough to snap a pic. If you do props to you for your impulse control.

Family diner kind of ambiance albeit I have only taken pieces or wholes to go.

This boba shop is an absolute gem! The service is super friendly and welcoming--you can tell the staff genuinely care about making your experience great. Orders come out quickly, and everything is made with attention to detail. The drinks are AMAZING. Perfectly balanced flavors, high-quality ingredients, and boba that's fresh, chewy, and cooked just right. Whether you like classic milk tea or more creative flavors, everything tastes top-tier and refreshing. The ambiance is cozy, cute, and inviting--such a great spot to hang out with friends, study, or just treat yourself. The vibe makes you want to stay longer and come back often. Overall, this place nails it: excellent drinks, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. Easily one of the best boba spots around. Highly recommend! read more

I chose the og bobas coated in their brown sugar. This is perfect if you're indecisive like me or bringing a friend and want to compare flavors! It looked like a slow day for them as we were the only people in the shop. However there are lots of seating and the staff was super friendly and suggested we get one of their rice balls too, so we got the salmon and tuna - which we got to go, I noticed only later that they also have rice ball flights too! Which means I have to go back another time to try another.

The store itself is very clean and has a lot of cute decorations. Drinks are very colorful and have some fun seasonal themes. The employee behind the counter was super sweet and friendly. Service was really fast event though I think they were working alone. I really enjoyed my French Daisy-- the purple is SUPER vibrant in person, even though the yellow is a little duller than the ad. It was refreshing and very sweet (my preference, my partner got his 50% sweet and said that was perfect for him). The tapioca pearls were just the right consistency. Perfect for a little pick-me-up on the weekend.

Great quiet spot to sit and read too, very cute shop with big windows and plants, but the next best part is the owner! So kind every time!

I finally had a chance to visit Auntea Ha again and I can now confidently upgrade my rating to a 5…read more This is my favorite boba in Portland at this point. This time around, I tried playing around with the sugar level as I found 50% last time to be barely sweet. They add condensed milk to the drink by hand, so I think they aren't that consistent with sweetness. Oolong Milk Tea, 50% Ice, 75% Sweet w/ Boba ($7.25) - This is a really fragrant oolong with plenty of grassy notes. It reminds me of a High Mountain, but when I asked the bobarista she said that it's a Vietnamese Oolong. Quite interesting and very enjoyable flavor. 75% sweet is about the right sweetness for me. The drink otherwise is super thick and rich with a condensed milk that adds a ton of complementary milky flavors and lots of body. It's a great drink. The boba is similarly great. It's excellent, plenty sweetened with basically the perfect bounce and chew. It's a great texture, nothing that I'd change with their recipe. Milk Tea Rating: 5/5 Boba Rating: 5/5 Black Milk Tea, 50% Ice, 100% Sweet w/ Boba ($7.25) - Another great drink, this time a super strong almost chocolatey and caramel-like flavor, with a roasty finish that almost reaches roasted coffee-like flavors. Again, the condensed milk contributes but does not overwhelm. Milk Tea Rating: 5/5 There's not much else to say. Auntea Ha is just one of those locally owned businesses serving great drinks for the community. I will certainly be returning on future visits to Portland.

Came for a treat in the evening…read more The interior is vibrant and decorated well with a mural on the side wall, lots of seating and tables. The store wasn't too busy, and the workers were friendly and gave suggestions from the menu. We ended up ordering the taro mash with green tea milk tea, golden boba, burnt cheese foam top (25% sweet) and the honey sweet passionfruit with coconut jelly (100% sweet). We were served quickly. The taro mash drink was great. The sugar level was just enough for the taro to shine through. The cafe uses real taro and you can taste soft chunks of it in the drink. The creaminess of the cheese foam top and the green tea milk tea balanced the drink out well. The honey passionfruit drink was refreshing. The brewed tea flavor was good, and the coconut jellies and passionfruit flavors felt tropical while not being artificial or overly sweet. Would come again when I'm in the area and craving boba!

Ding Tea Williams Taiwanese Tea House…read more I strutted into Ding Tea feeling calm and meek, Walked out emotionally supported by tea. One sip in and I whispered, "Excuse me, sir," Because my taste buds had just been promoted at work. This isn't tea that waves politely and leaves, This tea grabs your hand and says, Sit. Believe. I've had tea before lies. All lies. Those were leaf-flavored regrets in disguise. Milk tea so smooth it should have its own podcast, Coffee strong enough to bring your childhood back. I ordered thinking, "Yeah, this'll be fine," Next thing I know, I'm staring at the cup like it owes me an explanation. The pearls? Perfect. Not gummy, not sad, Each one bouncing like it knows it's elite-class. I chewed thoughtfully, nodded like a food critic, Then realized I looked ridiculous and kept chewing. The menu is huge, mildly intimidating, Like it knows you're not emotionally ready. You'll say, "I'll try something safe," with a grin, And Ding Tea will politely ruin that plan. Service is fast but never rushed, No chaos, no sighs, no judgmental huff. They let you take your time, make your choice, Even if you panic and forget how words work. So listen carefully, tea novices and pros: If you think you've "had tea," Ding Tea says, adorable. Come curious, leave changed, slightly caffeinated, And fully aware your old tea life was overrated. Five stars. Ding Tea Williams. Enter thirsty. Exit humbled.

My family also loves the boba and tea drinks. The service here is impeccable. I had been enjoying the Taiwanese Popcorn chicken and asked one time if it had dairy since my wife has an allergy and I hoped she could enjoy it.

I was blown away that they knew to check for casein and whey which can trigger the dairy protein allergy (and are in so many goods).
