In the past, I mentioned their selection is small. They have done a great job at trying out new flavors. I'm always hearing of new drinks they roll out.. as well as snacks. Because it's so much cheaper here than other boba places, this has become our main boba stop. (We always get free drinks from the rewards program!) The Oreo milk tea... CANNOT be beat! read more

Always looking for a new boba tea place. Found this as we were trying the ramen place next door.. it is actually connected by a door so accessible. This is a nicenplace for a hangout with its spacious seating and open decor. Then can also grab a meal next door. They have snack food like fries and chicken bities as well. The thai green tea boba was decent but the boba is gunmy. The lightbulb container with its flashing lights is what makes this place unique and trendy. Great for bringing visitors. It is $5.76 with the drink. The shaved ice with fresh fruit toppings looked good a well. They also have the eggette waffles which did not try yet. Overall, nice place to bring groups, service can be slow at times. They have variety which includes ice creams and food. It would be my second choice for regular milk tea since Sharetea is in the other end of Cooper. The negative is the location makes it harder to exit and get on the freeway read more

Went during Covid. Tables were socially distanced along with the guests. We ordered bubble tea and were able to sit and enjoy our drinks. I had the winter melon green tea with agar jelly and it was spot on. Appreciate they have late hours although we were there about 8:30pm. Something to keep in mind next time. read more

Had wanted to go for a while and just so happened to be working right next to it so we go. I order a mocha frappe, shrimp rolls, calamari on a stick and the fries. The food and drinks came and they all came with a sauce. I loved the frappe, one of the best I ever had, the fries were really good, loved the calamari and the shrimp rolls were good too. I already want to go back after 3 days. read more

I love the atmosphere, the workers are nice, the prices are fair. I love it. The cleanliness of the sitting areas is what is concerning to me. I noticed that there is a lot of dried spilled tea on the walls and dirt on the windows. It is just kind of uncomfortable sitting in there when you are eating and drinking. It makes you wonder how clean the kitchen is. I hope they fix this. I would love to give them 5 stars. read more

My favorite place for boba! Their passion fruit green tea is the best. A large is $4.45. I really how they add a mint to their drink, because it makes it really refreshing. Their salt & pepper chicken is also really good! Comes out hot & fresh. read more

Came back after 3 days to try the calamari on a stick and strawberry snow ice with matcha ice cream. Squid is to die for, super fresh and crispy with a sweet dipping sauce and a delicious little slaw on the side. Though, I prefer the eggette sundae over the ice dessert. It kind of turns into a syrupy mess halfway unless you're a ridiculously quick eater and it was just overly sweet in comparison to the sundae but maybe I should've ordered it sans syrup. The matcha ice cream scoop was so good I'm definitely just getting a matcha eggette sundae next time. Looking forward to trying the furikake fries ASAP as well, just didn't have room today read more

Im obsessed with their Taro Milk tea! Best one I've had in years! Service is also great!

The drinks are great! We had a boba/strawberry/mango situation and it was great! For some reason I thought they would offer more dessert and was quite disappointed in that category. read more

Location is in a shopping complex next to a VERY busy street aka Cooper so drive carefully bc the turn can sneak up on you. The inside is really cute and fresh looking, has lots of seating, free WiFi and games! Staff was also friendly. I came here bc they were having a special with their bulb cups and got the Galaxy one. It also came with a free medium milk tea for their bogo deal. I honestly didn't like either of the drinks much tbh. The Galaxy one looks really cool but unless you like very sugary/sour drinks, I'd pass. Kinda expected that for the Galaxy drink tho bc just look at it, it has star sprinkles inside lol. For the milk tea, it tasted kinda weird, like they went too much on the tea and they tried to save it by sweetening it way more. So not my first choice or even my third choice place to get milk tea. But I've heard a lot of good things about their shaved ice tho! So I'll be back to try that and hopefully it's a very redeeming quality. read more

I have been to this place multiple times including the soft opening day. Even though there are multiple boba locations now in Arlington, I have came back here multiples times because you get 25 %off all drinks if you bring a receipt from eating at Ninja Ramen next door. Decor--9/10 -very modernized -casual environment - multiple games to play while hanging out with friends Service --10/10 -VERY friendly employees that always have a smile and ready to meet any request -Prompt with the drinks. Took less than 5 minutes every time Drinks--6/10 - I got the original Royal milk tea and was not a fan of it because it was a bit bitter and I prefer it sweet - The Oreo shaved ice is a bit overrated. It looked very good from the picture, but did not taste very good except for the actual ice cream on top - The Mango Yakuit was actually pretty good. I was expecting it to have actual slices of mango in it because of the picture, but it was just a mango flavored drink. - The actual boba here is average. It is a little bland and kind of chewy. I prefer the boba to be soft. -Would I come back again? Yes I have been back multiple times. The environment and customer here is great especially for group hangouts. read more

New boba tea store in a town full of boba stores and another one less than a mile away...you can say I didn't have very high expectations upon coming here. However, this place proved me wrong! As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the cashier--very friendly guy. It took me a minute to pick what I wanted from the menu...there was soo much to choose from! From traditional milk teas to juices to smoothies, looks like they have all bases covered. But that's not it! They also have shaved ice, snacks, cheesecake, and "eggetts" or sundaes which you can add a waffle on it for a few bucks more. Pretty cool concept. I ended up getting the customized oolong tea with mango flavor and white boba since they ran out of the original one (bummer). I figured they're still working things out around there so I didn't mind at all. I also got the Oreo Snow Ice with Cookies n Creme ice cream on top. After I ordered, they gave me a number which was to be called when my order was ready. Took about 10-15 minutes for everything to come out, though the place was almost empty. But like I said before, they're probably still figuring things out around there. My drink tasted exactly like what I expected. It was super refreshing. They also put bits of mangos in the drink to go with the boba as well. I loved it. As for the Oreo Snow Ice, oh my gosh. That was totally worth the $10. The portion is good enough for 2-3 people and it looks exactly like the menu! 10/10 for presentation. My favorite part was that there is another layer of oreo in the middle of the snow ice as you get further into it. Awesome! Overall, I loved my first experience here and I also love that they have games that you can play with friends. The service was also great--the cashier who took my order checked up on my friend and I to see if everything was good. I will definitely return to this place to try out more of their items. read more

They staff is always friendly will answer your million questions about their menu with a smile Always a good time at royal milk tea Play games like Jenga and battleship with friends or family while enjoying a variety of milk teas, fruity boba/jelly drinks and they have Eggette Sundaes that are delicious. (If they get dairy free options that would be amazing like dairy free matcha ice cream please and thank you). I have yet to try the Snow ice that will be saved for when the weather is warmer. But everything I have had is delicious. read more

Decided to come try this place out after seeing the pictures on yelp. I also wanted to try their eggettes :D **Great customer service! I ordered a matcha eggette and a mango snow ice. A couple 5 minutes later the snow ice was ready but not the eggette (either they forgot or they weren't done making it). I waited some more and then went up to ask if my eggette was ready. The worker told me they were still making it. Later she came back and apologized saying they had mistaken me saying "mango" instead of "matcha" (that's why it took a while). At the end-problem solved. I got my matcha eggette even tho it took a while... overall service was great and friendly, even though mistakes were made, they corrected it. Desserts. -Mango ice: Not as good as the ones in Carrollton. The snow ice aren't as finely made. The mangoes aren't as smooth either. Vanilla ice cream was too sweet. -Matcha eggette: Matcha ice cream tasted good, not too sweet and had a hint of matcha flavor. I also liked the mochi, they were chewy and not bland tasting. At first the egg waffles were crispy but it turned soggy after the ice cream started melting because of the heat from the waffles. Still yummy though. Great interior and environment. -variety of games -hangout spot -plenty of seats Overall, I liked the types of desserts/drinks they sell, but they're kinda pricey. It was ~$18 for both the eggette and snow ice. I probably won't come back to try the snow ice, maybe I'll come and try some drinks since those are cheaper. read more

Royal Tea - Matcha eggette - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I was skeptical after reading the reviews and I'm pleasantly surprised! I got a black milk tea and green milk tea with "panda boba" which is a mix of white and black boba. A staff suggested it and it's pretty good. White boba is more chewy than black one, its not agar boba btw. The boba is well cooked. I'm a boba lover so i know how boba should be. The tea is a bit thin but you do taste it. The green milk tea taste like Icafe's green milk tea lol no complain. Its not bad at all but there can be improvements. The price is more affordable than some other places. They can adjust the sweetness and they have plenty of toppings. I'm a big fan of salt and pepper chicken (popcorn chicken) so i tried it here too. The portion is good for the price. The chicken isnt tough and dry. They re soft enough and not too salty. I'll definitely try it again! They just came out with eggettes which is an egg-shaped waffles with ice cream. They dont sell it separately yet (still soft opening) so if you buy $15 or more you'll get one for free. I got one and its surprisingly good too. Havent tried the shaved ice cause the price is a bit steep to eat by myself lol The store is spacious with lots of tables and board games. The decor is simple and cute. Staffs are nice and service is prompt. I didnt expect much but it wasnt bad at all. They just opened so give them some times. read more

Visited this location on their Grand Opening after dining at Ninja. I was impressed with their variety of board games and cute decor, but a little disappointed in the sizing of their milk teas. Needless to say everything still tasted delicious. They brought the eggettes closer to Arlington, and for that I'm thankful. Sadly they aren't as soft as other locations have them but they get the egg waffle point across! read more

I must say : with so many boba tea around the town already,I hesitant try this because this palace is closed to Parks mall Arlington and it's brand new. I just wanted to order one boba tea when I came here ,but I saw the SNOW ICE !!! WOW !! !!! That surprised me ! So I got one boba tea and one snow ice with my girl friend .i had to say that's so good and finally I don't need to drive long time to go Carrollton to get my favorite snow ice . I love this location -- highly recommended!! read more

Really friendly service. Everyone here is super nice. Sadly it doesn't make up for the fact that the waffles took forever to come out. We ordered 2 waffles on their opening weekend and it took about 30 minutes for the first one to come out and another 15-20 minutes for the other waffle to come out. I'm hoping they worked out the kinks and figured out a faster way to get the orders out. The drinks are good and come out fairly quick but I wouldn't wait that long for waffles. Hope next time I come back, it won't be as long of a wait. read more

Visuals: Royal Tea is connected and separated by door to Ninja Ramen. Although Ninja Ramen is close in proximity, Royal Tea doesn't have any food or foul smell in the shop. From the outside, it's easy to see where the entrance is. The interior design is cute and welcoming. There is a good amount of tabkes and seats. They have lots of games to play such as cards, connect 4, jenga, etc. It's a good place to hangout with friends or study during their nonpeak hours. Drinks: the drinks are so-so. For their matcha milk tea, there isn't much matcha and it's not well-blended. Their peach oolong tea is good but a bit on the sweet side because they use peach syrup. Their black tea sea salt doesn't taste good at all. My favorite is their earl grey black tea with no sugar, just honey, and grass jelly. It's simple and delicious! Food: their salt& paper chicken is tasty! I'd recommend and reorder that next time. Their coconut shrimp is on the sweet side. It's delicious but not worth the money. $5.99 for only 5 small pieces of shrimp! The sweet potato fries are okay. The fries are somewhat thin so you might not get the sweet potato taste. I haven't tried their egg waffle or snow ice sundaes , so I'll be coming back . Service: you get a beeper with a number for your order. For the most part, service is quick. Cashiers are friendly and helpful. Note: they use the fivestar app!dont forget to check in! 50points for a free drink/ mochi icecream! Also, there is a Groupon and living social for royal tea. $6 for $10 worth of stuff. Use promo codes for a better deal! read more

Pretty sweet place! (No pun intended )Customer service is great. Music is energizing. Lighting is nice and great for studying! The menu has many options and different boba worth trying. I like how it's connected to ramen/poke place -- very convenient! I ordered mango yakult boba with popping mango tapioca (since they don't serve mochi balls anymore since it was "hard to suck through the straw ). They also have a great selection of board games. If you're gonna stay long, don't forget to bring a sweater -- it gets a little chilly ;) Hope this helps!! read more

Royal Tea - a person stacking up a stack of drinks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Cute little milk tea shop attached to their ramyun business! My friends and I go-to spot when we have late night cravings and we want to sit and chat for a bit ~ The interior is very casual and cute. The outlets are near the wall with the bench (where the colorful lights are) so it's a good place to do some quick studying, but not quiet enough to do heavy, finals studying lol There are plenty of board/card games to choose from to have fun or you can just sit and chat with your friends on the couches they have provided as well. Drinks are always good and the bingsu is always huge! My friends and I always go after eating so it makes sense why 5 people aren't able to ever finish it lmao The only real complaint I have is every other visit I seem to make, one of our drinks gets made wrong. It's no big deal as none of us are picky but I would just be cautious of that and double check your drink before drinking it! (The label is normally correct so it's not the cashiers fault but rather the barista. But hey, accidents happen so it's no biggie!) read more

I had high hopes this place would improve once grand opening starts, but it sadly did not exceed my expectations and by now, there's enough doubt given. To keep it simple, I wouldn't come here for milk tea nor tea - these need improvements. My stars are given for the shaved ice and "eggettes" aka egg waffles with ice cream. The egg waffles aren't as crunchy on the outside while being soft and chewy on the inside, but the concept is there. The shaved ice isn't as finely shaved as every other place in Carrolton yet again - the concept is still there. Basically, this place HAS POTENTIAL but it's just stopping midway and not being as good as it could be. Maybe one day Royal Tea will master their menu but for now, there's better places around the area. read more

Went here after hot pot and wanted something sweet after dinner. They open late which is really nice and convenient for late night cravings. They have a good amount of drink options to choose from which is nice and offer hold or iced drink options as well. They don't really have many picture options to see what you are getting, but the size of the drinks and the staff is helpful when you have questions. We ordered dirty brown sugar, green milk tea, honey green tea, regular brown sugar. Regular sugar is about 70%, but even that is insanely sweet for me. The dirty brown sugar has a creama/foam and lots of tapioca balls, green milk tea was on the lighter side which was nice and the honey green tea is refreshing. You really have to play with the sweetness levels for your drinks to get it just right or even taste the tea. read more

3 adults and a toddler we were. Ordered 2 smoothies with boba, 1 milk tea and Light Bulb with boba. Our toddler had french fries (that I was obligated to help eat). The menu was jammed packed with enticing options. I wanted to order most of the menu in one shot but didn't. Service was great. Only complaint is that I don't live in walking distance. Looking forward to going back. read more

One of the better places to get boba tea in Arlington. Their teas are very strong, so you know its the good stuff. I usually get the lychee green tea here, and my bf really likes their green thai tea. But I do love their season hot teas! I have tried both the milk green tea and milk oolong tea hot, and they are both delicious and perfect for the winter! They also have yummy snacks and desserts. This is a fun hangout place! read more

If you're picky about your tea, this isn't the place to go. But if you're new to boba, and like to try all sorts of cool and sweet dessert, this is perfect! I would say the milk tea is actually nice and has lots of options. But the sweetness isn't optimizable and there are numerals places with more "authentic" tea flavor. The real catch is the cute interior and the fad menu items like light bulb drinks, snow ice, egglette, etc. And the nice interior, perfect for hanging out with friends. read more

I've been here several times since its opening, but each time I never really felt the desire to come back since I preferred other locations for boba over this one. I only come here if my friends and family want to. For milk teas, I tried their black, rose, oolong, taro, almond, green Thai, and Thai tea at minimum. My favorite drink I tried here is their green Thai tea. Today, I tried two of their desserts with this month's $15 deal that included two drinks and a dessert. We ordered a Strawberry Cheesecake Snow Ice (shaved ice?) And a Green Tea Egglette (bubble waffle with ice cream). My boyfriend also ordered their shrimp rolls. The shrimp rolls were interesting and okay, and the green tea egglette was decent. I would've enjoyed the visit if I had just ordered the waffle on its own. My main dissatisfaction from today is the cheesecake themed shaved ice- there was so much strawberry syrup in it that it ruined the rest of what we ordered (to the point where I couldn't even enjoy my drink). We requested condensed milk to add to the shaved ice, which helped a little as long as we avoided eating the syrup. In the end, however, all three of us eating abandoned the shaved ice less than 1/3 of the way through it. Overall verdict: this place is okay, but that specific cheesecake shaved ice flavor was enough to ruin everything else. read more

Tried the tropical aloe vera and it was okay. I asked for no additional sugar but it still tasted overly sweet, which I'm not a fan of, but I feel they put extra sugar in it. If it had been a little less sweet it would have been better. The service here was also not the best. It took forever to get my drink and they got my order wrong and out of three people behind the counter only one of them could get it right. They had some caffeine free options but not as many as I would like. Still looking for a special place that will offer herbal milk tea. read more
