I love stopping by this place whenever I'm in the area. From the aesthetically pleasing interiors to the friendly staff and the amazing sweet drinks, I can't think of a reason to not go here! The sea cream boba latte is my favorite drink to order here as I love sweet drinks! read more

Monster Tea House - Sea Cream Boba Monster Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I wish I could give 3.5 stars instead of 3!! I would come here again for the fresh brewed tea (no milk) and spam musubi, but only if I was in the area. When I first walked in I was enamored by all the hello kitty decor. They have a pink motor cycle. It also seemed like the claw games were fun. A solid foundation, but I was let down by our initial drinks. I won't say when I came in because I don't want an employee to be blamed for my opinion, but I did come 2 hrs before closing. The employee was enthusiastic to help me find exactly what I needed. I tried the matcha latte with strawberry foam and brown sugar boba. These are my 3 fav flavors so my hopes were high. I got the strawberry milk tea with strawberry foam for my gf. The drinks looked beautiful and I was hoping the taste matched. My initial sip of strawberry foam was pleasant but I was met with a bitter artificial aftertaste. The boba at the bottom was warm and I prefer a cold method so it matches the drink temp. My gfs strawberry milk tea was undrinkable. I went back in to see if a refund was possible but since the manager wasn't present we had to pick new drinks instead. I really appreciated the patience the employee had for us wanting something else. They seemed shocked we didn't like it (so maybe it's just our palette) The jasmine tea was good and my gf got the Oreo blended which was pretty good. Hoping the best for their future, but it didn't feel great spending money here read more

I ordered the s'mores, Waffle. It was light and fluffy and not to sweet. The service could be a little more up beat for being a Pokémon themed café that is the reason for the 4 not five stars. The ambiance i awesome! Pokémon everywhere. There are claw machines with cute plushies and card packs. I will definitely be back. read more

Cute bubble tea shop with cute decor. My friends and I stopped in after dinner to grab a refreshing boba drink. Drinks were good, but staff was not friendly at all. They didn't even greet us when we walked in and just stood at the counter. We asked how much certain items were (plushies and merch) and they said they didn't know. Both workers didn't seem to care or try to find our prices for their items either. read more

This place has good and affordable boba. The vibe is great and the sea foam is delicious. Definitely going to be my go to.

The shop was cute don't get me wrong, but the actual drinks / food were not super impressive. My boyfriend got a spam musubi that had already been sitting out on the counter, who knows for how long but it wasn't good at all, even if not fresh, just flavorless. The drinks we got really were not that great, I've definitely had better drinks at mall food courts. We got the hello kitty and my melody, honestly not great and didn't even finish mine. The service was casual, it was fine. read more

Had the sea cream boba monster latte and mangonada and both were good! Interior was clean and welcoming.

Very helpful guy at the counter who explained what drinks had caffeine and various ingredients. I got a winter melon milk tea hot, with boba and oat milk. The funny thing is that while the "About" on here says they don't use artificial flavors or powders, the employee said that is absolutely not true and that the business owner doesn't use Yelp at all, so not sure if that's just way outdated info or what. But FYI if you're looking for all natural boba--this place isn't it! The drink I got is super tasty though. read more

What a cutie spot. I chose them because they have boba beverages with the option to add alternative milk (coconut, oat and almond I believe). I ordered a fresh black tea and got coconut milk and boba, light sugar and hot as it was a really cold day. Staff was friendly -- drink was good, took a little bit as I believe they brewed it fresh. Decor is all pink. I'd come back if I were in the neighborhood to try other drinks. read more

My boyfriend entered to inquire if we could bring our dogs in. To our delight, the cashier said it would be fine and we were able to sit down and enjoy our drinks. Our cashier was very friendly and patient with us when we ordered! First, I loved the cute Mario themed decorations and menu! Super cute and well thought out for fellow fans to appreciate. My boyfriend ordered the Luigi drink while I got the Golden Star. Our drinks came out perfectly as the taste was sweet and delightful after a long 3 hour drive from Washington to Portland. Definitely check out this spot! read more

The cutest boba cafe ever with the Hello Kitty theme going right now. The place was clean and bright, decorated with Hello Kitty items. Attentive cashier. Drinks were good too. Boba was nice and chewy. The mango fruit tea with boba was really good. I had the My Melody drink which was dragonfruit sunrise with strawberry jelly. It was ok, it just reminded me of medicine growing up but the kids liked it. Overall cute boba place. read more

Gotta be one of my fave places for boba. Such fun options for drinks and sometimes you wanna treat yourself to something that actually looks like the pic on the menu! Service was friendly and quick. Make sure to order online if you're getting take out and don't skip the spam musubi if you've not tried it...very filling and a good deal for a snack! read more

Out of all the boba tea places I've been,and I've been to a lot, this is the best I've had! I oddly saw it on tiktok- but the consistency of their blended teas is very milk shake like! Not chunky or 'grainy' like some are, very smooth but thick. I loved that they had a sweetness option, and milk alternatives! Oat milk included which is cool. They had lots of topping options too including pudding and popping boba. I have my opinions about charging for a topping when that's the point of a bubble tea.. so toppings are an extra .75 There was a Strawberry Shortcake drink option and man oh man, I've never tasted something so delicious!! Very sweet though *For the blended options they have them in open top lids and milk teas are sealed (not a fan of that for on the go) read more

Yummy fruit tea, cute place, quick service. Nothing bad to say, I did go to get a passion fruit tea but realized the menu changed so the menu you see on the reviews has been changed since then. read more

I remember coming here frequently when it first opened up, and the drinks were really good and I liked the way the interior was set up here. It used to be my top 3 favourite boba places in Portland. However I think as of lately it isn't as good as it used to be. Don't get me wrong, drinks are still pretty solid and I would recommend it if you're around Hawthorne. But these days I consider this boba spot pretty average like most other boba places in Portland read more

After many boba places, I have to say this one remains on my top 5 in Portland. This boba place is situated in a small part of Downtown Portland, where it is a bit more suburban and not as much city-life. It is an easier place to park then straight downtown, but it's not a walk in the park! Overall this place is grear! My husband always managed to get their classic and there is nothing wrong with it. He loves it! However my choice is always Ube! We met this business at the Portland Night Market and we've gone down to their actual location a few times now. My favorite drink was the Ube Latte and let me tell you- DELISH! Not only is it delicious, but it is also insta-worthy that I had to take a shot! Overall; definitely a place to try if you are in Portland on Hawthorn for their mini downtown f read more

We wanted to try Portland boba so decided to come here after 10 minutes of researching. I know a lot of people said this place is Mario themed, but I felt like there wasn't really enough Mario stuff to say that. We went on a Thursday afternoon so it wasn't crowded at all, but there was a steady stream of people coming in. The store itself is also pretty big with a moderate amount of seating for a boba shop - would be a good place to get some work done! I got the jasmine honey milk tea which was not bad, but definitely needed stronger tea/more of a tea flavor. It was a little bland otherwise. My friends got fruit teas which were also not bad, but I feel like it's hard to mess up a fruit tea. My other friend got the sea cream boba monster latte at 100% sweetness which was very sweet. I would say the sweetness is pretty on par with other shops though. Overall, I thought it was not bad, but not sure how the boba scene in Portland looks like. read more

After lunch, I suggested to try a boba place around the Portland area as the weather was 90+ degrees with pure dry heat. One of my friends found this cute boba shop with a little cartoon monster. Decided to give it a try! It's located next to Mio Sushi on SE Hawthorne Blvd in Hawthorne. There's only street parking but with a lot of residential areas to park at especially when roaming around the area. I saw that they had three types of coffee drinks and wanted to try their Dalgona Coffee. I asked if they could make it 50% sweet but the coffee already had an adjusted sweetness booooo. Didn't want to risk getting a super sweet drink, so I ended up getting their Signature Milk Tea for 50% sweetness. My first initiate thought: kind of watery. Not much tea flavor as I generally prefer. Overshadowed by the creaminess of the milk and probably the wateriness. Sad to say, didn't really care for it. My friends got the lychee black tea with boba (very good! Strong tea flavor. I wish I got that), Hokkaido milk tea with caramel (same as mine, kind of watery. But the caramel gave it a nice flavor), and Thai tea (strongish and good!). Very cute cafe to be in with its aesthetics and vibes! There are three tables that customers can sit and study at (if they have wifi) with really good outdoor lighting. Prices for the drinks are also on the more expensive side but lots of variety! read more

I went here with friends after dinner and it's such a cute boba shop with places to sit down and chat! The service was pretty quick and friendly. Their menu is pretty unique and there are various options for different moods (I love how they blended drinks and lattes!). I got the strawberry shortcake smoothie with less sweetness and it was really good! (I do recommend lower sweetness though, as they're already so sweet) Although it's not my favorite, I did really like the boba and the vibe of the place was really nice for hanging out with friends or even studying. :) read more

Plus points about Monster Tea? They have a strawberry matcha which is hands down such a fave~ Downsides, the sugar levels and the actual boba. We dropped by on a weekday around 5 pm and were able to grab a couple of drinks; no line so drinks came out pretty quickly! I of course had to get the strawberry matcha and got it 50% sweet which I expected would be a nice, mild sweetness. The flavor itself was fine overall. The strawberry felt a bit artificial but otherwise good balance between the fruit and the matcha. My main complaint was how sweet the drink was for 50% sweetness. Also, the boba itself was a little overdone and somehow also a bit hard in the middle. Strange combination to be honest. The price was at the higher end for boba so I'm not really sure I'll frequent this place based on the quality of the drinks. Cute place though not sure when they'll open up indoor seating again. There is a fair bit of easy street parking in the area, but definitely plan to grab and head out if you drop by. read more

I saw this place on Instagram and it was advertised as a Harry Potter themed café. It did have a lot of nods to Harry Potter, and lots of HP things to decorate with. The space is cute with a good amount of tables. With the rise of boba prices, this place keeps their prices relatively low in comparison. I got the butterbeer drink and it's basically just cream soda with salted foam on top. There wasn't anything special about it. I wish I had opted for one of their boba drinks. My niece had a milk tea and she really enjoyed it. My sister had the Thai tea and said it was a tad too sweet for her liking, and I told her she could have possibly asked for less sweet in hers. My mom had the taro tea and she also said hers was on the sweeter side. read more

Cute Mario themed boba spot on Hawthorne. My group was looking to satisfy our boba craving and this did the trick! We ordered the Golden Star and Mario drinks, with boba and crystal jelly added, respectively. The drinks were on the sweet end for me, but having fresh boba was a plus! I would come again if I were in the area. They've got plenty of options to choose from. The staff were fast with putting out orders, which was great for our quick stop in! read more

Monster Tea House is an average tea place on Hawthorne. The set up of the store isn't great. There's a few large tables and it seems like there is too much open space. I like the Harry Potter decor. The menu has a great variety of drinks to chose from. I had a lychee green milk tea with pudding. I asked if I could adjust the sweetness and they complied. Usually, boba tea spots note on their menu that you can adjust the sweetness to different percentages but that was not the case here. The tea was okay. The green tea was a little weak. The pudding was good. Overall, its an average boba tea shop and it won't be a regular spot for me. read more

The fact that Portland doesn't have many boba places to begin with makes Monster Tea House stand out quite a bit. The store is clean, organized, and has a very hip/modern atmosphere. The staff is nice and we got our orders quickly. Parking wasn't an issue for me. I got the strawberry matcha latte. The drink was aesthetically very well done. Layers are very clear and a good amount of boba. In my opinion, it was expensive. WIth boba (+0.75) it was $6.50...... After mixing, the strawberry flavor definitely overpowers the matcha, making the drink sweet. The bitterness of the matcha makes it not "too" sweet though. There wasn't a lot of ice in my drink, which I prefer. Another cute detail I noticed was that the straws colors were all pastel. Was inside the store for two hours, and there were consistently customers coming in and out. Would return. read more

Saw their instagram and was excited about this place! Grand opening this weekend (05/22 & 05/23) and saw BOGO was advertised. Double the excitement... until I got there: it was actually buy one now and get NEXT one free (starts 05/24/21 - Monday). At that point, I was only slightly disappointment by their verbiage. I still ordered anyways to try it. Ordered two of the same drink- Monster Supreme Milk Tea $5.75 each (includes three toppings: red bean, pudding and boba). It was not a bad price considering their regular milk teas are $5.00 each plus $0.75 per topping. When I received the drinks, I was excited because it looked good. Because we were masked up, we took the drinks to go. Hopped in our car and onward to the next destination. Anddd here's the major disappointment: took a few sips and my milk tea was gone. My drink was literally FULL of ice. If I could describe the situation, it would be: 80% ice and 20% milk tea. Thoroughly disappointment as I paid for milk tea, not a cup full of ice. Not to mention, not much tea flavor. At that point, I felt deceived by Monster Tea House. Also, I saw a girl in the kitchen, pull down her mask and drank something out of an open beverage container (no lid) and went back to working. I thought per food handler's health code, if an employee is "thirsty while working, you may drink from a closed beverage cup with lid and straw or cup with lid and handle". I am pretty sure food handlers must wash their hands after eating or drinking before handling food again. I am concerned about the food safety practices at this place. Place is small. Street parking. Accept Apple Pay & Google Pay. read more

Not our first choice to get boba but it was within walking distance from the FARMHOUSE where we grabbed lunch. It was cutely decorated for Halloween. They have a pretty big menu so hopefully, they have something that peaks your interest (4/5): UBE COFFEE LATTE: The favorite of the bunch. Would come here just for this drink. Beautifully layered & the ube added this sweetest that complemented the coffee well. Recommend trying this one! (2/5): SEA CREAM BOBA MONSTER LATTE: Got it 50% sugar but still quite sweet. Latte because it is mainly just milk with brown sugar syrup, no coffee. If you're looking for a drink with tea or strong flavor, this one isn't it (2/5): STRAWBERRY MATCHA LATTE: They did add some strawberry chunks in the drink. My friend said it was ok but would not get again read more
