    Needed a matcha to wake me up. This was good. It was a very quick turnaround. At 11 am, there was definitely no people.

    This is the best boba in Orlando. The service is really nice they help you walk through the menu and are very courteous. They ambiance is great as well, but I wish there was more space to sit and talk

    Royal Tea is my new go to spot for boba in Orlando. I tried their matcha crème brûlée with boba and it was amazing. The drink was milky and sweet with a perfect balance of matcha flavor. If you are looking for a good matcha boba drink this is the place to go. Matcha drink was so good me and my 4 friends got 4 orders of the it! I like that they let you choose your sweetness level, so you can do 25 percent, 50 percent, or more depending on your taste. They also have other great options like mango tea and original milk tea with a chai twist. The atmosphere is cozy and they have plenty of indoor seating, which makes it a nice place to relax. The service is also very polite and they will even let you change your drink if you do not like it.

    On my second visit I give this place a 4, the first round was a 2 star at best. The first time I had the caffe latte with the whipped mousse. It was gross to say the least. I'm not a person who likes super sugary drinks (I usually get 50% sweetness when I order boba) I got regular sweetness this round and the drink didn't taste like there was any sugar at all. To make it worse, the mousse on top was salty and had a weird texture. Not sure why, but they also put matcha powder on top of the mousse, seems random to me and I'm someone who loves matcha lol. My friend got the royal three and was gracious enough to share the deliciousness with me. Loved that one a lot! There are better boba shops around Orlando including within walking distance so this one is a skip for me. The staff is friendly and the store is clean so that is a plus.

    I love this place. They are always consistent with the drinks. You can change the level of sweetness and ice. The menus will inform you on all the ingredients in each item so you will always know what it is in it. I will say they add something extra that I can't replicate so that's why I always go back because it's wonderful. My husband can't wait to go back for when they have the peppermint version of black milk tea. They are always friendly and helpful when you ask.

    No exaggeration when I say this is the worst tea spot in Orlando. I always get the same thing whenever I'm at tea shops: Jasmine tea, add milk, boba, and lychee jelly. However, when I came to order their Jasmine tea and I asked to add milk, they told me they couldn't. I asked "oh do you guys not carry milk tea". They said that they do however, it's "store policy" to only add milk to ONE specific tea and you cant add it to any other tea on their menu... I have never heard of a place telling you you can't add milk (something that they do carry and sell) to their drinks. I suggest management get rid of this silly rule. That'd be like going to Starbucks, asking to add milk to your coffee and them saying no. There's only one drink on their menu that you can add milk to. There were also more restrictions on modifications to your tea such as toppings, boba, lychee, etc. Because of all of the rules and restrictions and not simply being able to add milk to any of their tea or drink options (even thought they carry it), I suggest going to any of the other hundreds of way better tea spots in Orlando. Now onto the actual tea itself, I was disappointment that after all of their tea ordering rules I still ended up getting the Jasmine tea which was gross.. the Jasmine flavor was almost non existent and I'm not sure what sweetener they add to their drinks but it was really nasty and left a weird after taste.

    Food quality: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 4/5 First time trying RoyalTea out and got the Royal Bubble Tea. The staff was nice and the cafe was clean. I wish that there was a better indicator of which drink were dairy vs non-dairy and also what ingredients make up the drink. The menu board was pretty plain and if you wanted more detail, you have to ask for each drink. The boba was not great. Texture was fine, but it was bland and had no taste. Not sure if they forgot to soak the boba in sugar, but it was not flavorful at all. The tea itself was ok, not a very strong tea flavor. That might have just been an off day, but probably won't be going back.

    Ordered the Royal Milk Tea, absolutely delicious. It was sweet, creamy, and had a nutty taste as well, which I usually like in a classic milk tea. The place we decorated in a minimalist style, which fit the aesthetic. And of course, service was quick and the employees were considerate and nice.

    One of my favorite tea places in the Orlando area! The tea always tastes super fresh and they use wonderful ingredients and fresh fruit. While their menu is more limited than some boba tea places, I think that is for the best as every item is a great choice. Everything we have tried here has been delicious! My two favorites to get are the Matcha Latte and the Lemon Lime Tea. You can also adjust sweetness and choose the type of milk you would like. The tea comes out quickly and the employees have always been so friendly. There are a couple of seats inside the store, and it is a great place to sip on tea and hang out. The only food options available are two dessert options (crème brûlée). But if you are looking for a food or snack, hop over to King Bao that is right next door!

    Royaltea has been one of my go to boba spots since they've opened. Their menu is definitely smaller compared to many other boba spots but I like that that their tea is fragrant and just has good flavor overall. Their boba however, is pretty bland and the texture isn't very consistent. At times it's either old or undercooked, where it's not chewy throughout and has a hard center. And the boba doesn't have any sort of flavor or sweetness, some boba shops sweeten their boba a bit so it doesn't taste as bland. Staff is kind, the inside is pretty small and industrial design inside, but parking is a pain since it's street parking only. But overall I still recommend royaltea, I usually go for the Royal Three or the Cheese Mousse Jasmine Green tea.

    Royal Three and Royal Milk Tea

    After finishing lunch at BB.Q Chicken, my friend suggested we walk to get bubble tea at this location down the street and around the corner. It's down one the streets off of Colonial and it's a small, intimate space where you can get your tea and go or sit and chill for a bit. This is the first shop I've been to where they make milk tea drinks with condensed milk instead of fresh milk, non-dairy creamer, or any non-dairy milk of your choice. The Royal 3 tea cannot be adjusted, but the regular Royal Milk tea can be adjusted for sweetness. My friend got the former and I got the latter with half sweetness and boba. Drinks were quick and only took a minute and a half. The staff were polite and worked quickly to get orders out to the window. My friend and I sat for a while and chatted with our drinks for a while. The tea had a great flavor not watered down by the add-ons or condensed milk and and the condensed milk added a creaminess to the drink. Pricing was on par with what I've paid for at other bubble tea shops. With regard to parking, street parking is your best bet, unless you're dining at a nearby establishment and can walk over quickly without getting towed. Do not park in Publix - they warn about towing people very clearly. I would come back here again.

    The tea was really good. The boba isn't super soft, but is sweet. The person at the register was super helpful in assisting me in making my decision and helping me customize my drink. It's a small place but very casual. I would be back.

    I rarely get anything when I bring my son here. I saw they had the milk tea with taro and decided to try it. Was not really a fan. It's just milk tea with taro mixed into it in pieces. But otherwise we're usually happy campers here.

    We used to go to Royal Tea in Culver City, CA. Is this part of the same chain?

    It is a chain and I know there are locations in CA so I am going to assume yes

    Are the staff wearing masks during COVID?

    Yes! And they have put up plexi glass barriers, and have markings on the floor in order to stay 6 feet apart while in line

    Are you guys still open now?

    They're still open, for take out only. I believe they're closing at 9pm now, but they should still be open.

    Are their cups sustainable?

    Not unless you rinse and recycle the single use plastic cups.

    Do they use fresh milk? Not milk powder.

    The milk is pasteurized by the supplier and then they use it after it is shipped to them.

    Do they sell gift cards?

    They do sell gift cards, I have a picture I would post it but I can't respond with a pic ! :)

    Does anyone know if they still have their Merch, specially their "tea shirts"? I've tried to email them and ask, but no one has gotten back to me.

    They have white shirts with logo and black hat with logo

    I have a friend who is mostly paleo. Is it possible to get any of the teas unsweetened?

    Yes! As I myself usually opt out of sugar, you do have the option of getting black tea or I believe oolong tea on ice. I would ask if their boba is made of tapioca flour or not. If it is out of tapioca flour it falls under paleo haha. Adds a chewy… 

    Do they have popping boba bubbles?

    They only have regular boba, grass jelly, and custard/egg pudding.

Seriously, you can save all your other options for a rainy day. This is the place for any occasion, date, family gathering, or plain ol' get together with friends to enjoy sweets with great company. Located off South Apopka Vineland Road on the Northbound side, Mango Mango is situated in a relatively new development and plaza (if you look at the satelite imagery from Google maps, it will still show undeveloped land as of June 2026). It's less than a 10 minute drive from the Disney Springs property, and about an 18 minute drive from Old Town/Fun Spot which is where we were staying for this particular trip coming from Tampa. As you arrive, you will find a spacious lot, however the actual parking spaces do appear limited (something to consider if you decide to have a large reunion here). Upon entering, you will find a very clean storefront and reception. Overall the store maintains a very neat and tidy appearance that is very welcoming and neutral when it comes to the varying demographics of customers. While we have been to Mango Mango before in a New Jersey location, this location provides a bit of table service (which we have not experienced prior) for dine-in which makes it a bit more intimate. The menu offers plentiful choices of sweets - from bowls with fresh fruits and ice cream, to your specialty drinks including boba. To call Mango Mango a boba shop would do it injustice, as this place truly shines as a hollistic dessert spot. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the selections. Each dish/drink is perfectly made to their own specifications. The best part is that none are overly sweet, which I feel is a crutch that most dessert spots experience. Highly recommend the mixed fresh fruit with sago and jelly! Wish this was in Tampa because this would give our usual boba spot a run for their money. This is a must have if you're in the area, so treat yourself after long hot day at the parks at Mango Mango!

The seat I was sitting in had visible dirt on it and there was some dark long hairs on the seat. I'm not grossed out by that type of thing because if you know anyone with long hair, it just falls out. No big deal but I certainly didn't expect to see it on the seat I was sitting in. The tables and bases all need a thorough cleaning as well as other areas I noticed during our visit. I'd understand this a little more if I saw they were super busy and only had one person working, however, we were the only customers, except for two to-go orders and the one employee was sitting down on his phone when he wasn't helping a customer. As someone who has been in the restaurant industry for over 35 yrs, I am well aware of the things needed to keep a restaurant successful. Attention to detail is one of the key factors and unfortunately Mango Mango is lacking in this area. I hope they can see this review and possibly take a closer look at the cleanliness because the food is on point. Next time I'm in the area hopefully I'll see. If not, I might need to find another place to visit.
