    Carmelize brown sugar boba shake and strawberry milk tea with boba.
    Marie L.

    Easy location to find with plenty of marking at a strip mall. Staff were courteous and friendly. Store was clean and orderly. I ordered the brown sugar boba shake and it was fantastic! The boba was super fresh and squishy just how I like it! I will be back for sure!

    Matcha jasmine royal

    Visiting from Los Angeles and if you know about the matcha out there the standards are high. I got the matcha jasmine royal, and it was really good unsweetened! Unfortunately can't choose alternative milk for those w dairy allergy. The tea is flavorful and pairs well with whatever matcha they have going on. The barista was kind and nice offered another drink if I didn't like it but I do! 10/10 for the area. The biggest coffee stand around uses green tea sugar mix, not matcha so this is the place for me when I visit!

    Just love their bubble teas! This has been a monthly treat for us. Most recently, I got the taro bubble tea and husband got the rose matcha bubble tea. I'm so thankful that you can do 0% sugar! It feels less artificial than other bubble teas that I've had. They also fill it up with bubbles, so I can chew away! Also love that they have the classic flavors and they've introduced creative ones, too. If it wasn't so expensive, it would have been four stars. But $7 for a bubble tea is kind of insane! That's the price of a whole meal in some places. I recognize that they're the only boba spot in town so they can charge that, but it is a lot.

    I'm so excited that we have a boba place to go to!!! I'm very picky when it comes to boba and milk tea and Rare Tea is good!! The brown sugar boba is sweet, soft and chewy. I got the caramelized brown sugar milk, which was ok, I feel like it could have more flavor but paired with the brown sugar boba it was good. My daughter had the strawberry smoothie, which she loved. The worker at the register had zero personality and wasn't very friendly. They don't allow any customizations (I wanted to do passion fruit and strawberry smoothie for my daughter, but they wouldn't allow it) I've been to a lot of boba places and they always accommodate customizations (within reason). I also wish they had smaller sizes for kids! They offered to split it but I only needed one. The shop is cute inside. Not very many seats, however and no music. Overall we'll be back! We did enjoy our drinks!

    Cute little tea shop! Great boba if you like traditional boba! I wish they had fruit poppers, that is the only thing they are missing. The teas are so yummy and the service is quick.

    so cute !

    Best boba shop ever !!! The building is so beautifully decorated, almost like a stylish young man chose the pieces himself. Worker Isaac is so sweet and good with customers. Hope he's single lol. Wonderful boba shop highly recommend so yummy

    Strawberry berry snow with boba (real strawberries) and mango smoothie. Both amazing!!!
    Michelle W.

    Officially my favorite boba tea place! Drinks are refreshing and mine used real strawberries. They use brown sugar which I found out makes the drinks especially delicious. Staff is friendly, patient, and gives great recommendations. I will definitely be back to try more!

    I stopped in with a friend to check this place out. I'm a lover of tea and enjoy how innovative Rare tea is with their menu. The cashier was super helpful when explaining different items on the menu. We were overall very pleased with our drinks. Super refreshing for a Warm Arizona

    Matcha latte with boba
    Kayla M.

    Pretty good! Most places have kind of a weaker, sweeter matcha, but you can really taste the matcha here. The boba isn't as sticky and brown sugary as other places. Overall, gave a 4 just because it's not my favorite, but I will come back to try more menu options.

    I came for the grand opening at first thought there wasn't interesting options. But seems like they now have an expanded menu! Drinks are more varied and complex, and I'm happy to check it out again.

    Finally, a great boba tea shop in Queen Creek! I have always been going to the Chandler location but now the drive is much shorter. You can expect the same good quality drinks here at this location as well because I have already been here a couple times since their grand opening! I come here to get my usuals of either a Fruit Tea(Mango Green Tea, Strawberry Berry Tea), Smoothies(Matcha, Taro, Thai), or Uji Matcha(Matcha Latte, Strawberry Matcha Latte). Of course I always get my favorite topping which is boba. There are other toppings if you don't like boba. Honestly, I can say that I have tried most of the different drink flavors and I can't remember not liking any of them. But of course I have my set favorites. Service wise, you order at the counter and then they call out your name. They get your drink out to your pretty fast so the wait is very minimal. Location wise, they are nestled in the corner along with Dunkin Donuts, Little Caesars, and a brunch place called Over Easy. Overall, everything is wonderful here. If you are not in a hurry, I recommend just hanging out and play some board games that they have provided while sipping on your drink. It's a laid back atmosphere. Oh, and don't forget to sign up to their loyalty club so that you can earn points towards free drinks! Yelp 2022 Review #39 890 overall

    Taro smoothie & Thai tea milk
    Jennifer S.

    So happy to have Rare Tea so close to home. This is the closest boba place and I'm sure we'll be frequent customers. Decided to drop in to grab some gift cards for my girls stockings but couldn't pass up grabbing some drinks. My husband and I shared the Thai milk tea and I ordered my girls a tarp smoothie. Both were very good. The cups were high quality, so you know the ingredients will be too. The place is super cute, seating area and some games to play. We were the only ones there when we walked in and the staff was ready to help and tell us everything we needed to know. They have a rewards program so make sure to sign up. I caught a picture of a sign that said happy hour on Wed, 3-5pm. Buy one get one 50% off.

I got my son a cupcake and it was so dry and hard when I went to break it apart for him... definitely didn't cash in the Mom tax.

I love this concept and I appreciate it being so close to home and not having to drive to Chandler or Mesa for nice vibes.

The second you walk in, you're surrounded by a romance book-lover's dream. The ambiance feels like stepping into a cozy Hogwarts library. It's warm, magical, and the perfect place to get lost in a book. There is also a vintage-style Photo Booth that will print out two photo strips for $5! I also love the story behind this place starting online and growing into a physical bookstore that now carries such a fun variety of books, plus the cutest hip and trendy merch (hats, book pins, shirts, and more). The coffee is good, and their menu is surprisingly extensive. I ordered the cookie butter latte and was genuinely impressed by both the size and the taste. On top of all that, the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Whether you're looking to study, find community, or just yap with fellow book lovers, this is such a fun and inviting space!

They also have energy drinks so I'd say this is a typical "quick" coffee shop style where you shouldn't expect in house flavors being made or anything and very sweet drinks (which I love). I got an almond croissant which was delicious. They get their pastries from the Gadsby Bakery I believe. They're so good. The service was so friendly and we got our drinks so quick!

Noticed this coffee spot on my way out of an amazing big breakfast next door and…read morewanted to snoop, it was a much larger space than it appears from the outside and much as the name implies, they have a stated mission to ethically source. They offer complimentary wifi, a shelf of mission-branded merchandise and a menu of herbal teas and unique coffee drinks. Also a small assortment of pastry items. In addition to the regular entrance, they have a huge garage door access so on nicer days they can open up the seating area for fresh air and more of an outside but inside vibe. Staff were friendly barista hippie types but took a while for them to acknowledge us standing there even though there was no line. Ordered one hot tea and a seasonal coffee drink. Neither were great and their pricing is misleading. For example the seasonal drink was supposed to be $5.89 but was charged $7.65 and the tea was nothing more than a basic tealeaves in hot water. We didn't add any items to justify the upcharge but when I brought it to the cashiers attention she was unsure how to adjust the price or offer a refund unless we wanted loose change. SMH. If a Customer pays by Apple pay, they should be refunded or credited in the same way. Seems like a space intended for Co-working or digital nomad types as there were about 4 people with laptops and headphones sipping on drinks. Because of the ultra cool vibe, I'll definitely give them another chance to change my mind if I'm nearby but I think for what we ordered it wasn't a great price to value.

    So much has changed with the Queen Creek Olive Mill since I first reviewed it many years ago…read more Superstition Coffee cafe is no longer there. That section has been replaced with the Olive Mill's service bar. The retail shop has expanded - still the oils and vinegars that we know and love, but also other dry sundries like pasta, spices and seasonings.

The outside area has live music playing sometimes and it's a great place to get together with kids since it's so open and allows you to choose sit around a bunch of people or go off into a more secluded area. Another thing we did before moving here when we visited was did the olive tour where they give you a lesson on olive and olive oil! Very interesting if you love olive oil and cooking! This gem is definitely a highlight in this area for a good kick back, with good food, good vibes, and fresh air! Bonus, they have motorcycle parking

    I normally don't write reviews, but this experience was frustrating enough that I felt compelled to…read moresay something. I stopped in around 6:00 pm to get some work done before a cycling class. The first thing the cashier told me was that the espresso machines were already shut down and that only hot tea was available. I asked what time the shop closed, and he said 7:00 pm. Since I still had time, I decided to stay and purchased tea. After sitting down, I was told--due to construction--that they would be "locking up soon." I assumed this still meant 7:00 pm. I received my tea around 6:10 pm, and by 6:20 pm I was told they would be locking the doors and turning off the lights. At that point, it felt passive-aggressive and misleading. If I had been told upfront that the shop was closing early, I would not have ordered anything. I specifically asked what time you were closing, and that information was not communicated clearly until after I had already paid. Additionally, if the shop is supposedly open until 7:00 pm, it's confusing why the espresso machines were already turned off at 6:00 pm. As for the tea -- 2/10. I didn't even finish it. I'm sure the coffee may be good, but this is the first time I've been to a coffee shop where the espresso machine was shut down an hour before closing. Lastly, as a study space, it's very limited: only two tables with about eight chairs total. There are outlets, but not nearly enough to support people working. Overall, the lack of clear communication and the rushed, uncomfortable atmosphere made this a disappointing experience.
