    Ginger matcha milk tea
    Sho R.

    I stopped by for a quick tea on a Sunday afternoon. The place was bustling with young crowd. Hot ginger matcha milk tea was my favorite item. It had matcha flavor as well as a good kick from ginger. Royal milk bubble tea was my other item. That was good as well. Almond chocolate cake was nice and soft.

    Hot Hive Chai, 10/10 highly recommend

    Got the Hot Hive Chai which was delicious. 10/10! Spicy heat with the spices of the chai. Wish I lived nearby to be a regular. Very nice staff as well and cute ambiance.

    The drinks were really good! I was a little skeptical at first but the owner and cashier were so nice. They host a lot of events here too. I saw some posters for trivia night and a murder mystery. It's nice to see someone building community. It was very busy when we went and they even said they weren't expecting so many people. They ran out of boba but the milk caps were fantastic.

    I have loved sencha for years but they just keep getting better and better. My go to order is a watermelon cooler w strawberry jellies but you really can't go wrong w any of their dI haven't caught her name but the lovely lady making drinks is 1) a very talented barista and 2) so kind! She always asks me how my day is and actually listens. The ambiance is very cozy, sometimes it can get crowded but when you come in at a lucky time you can hang out and enjoy the low lighting, fall decor, and board games. They have a customer for life, I love you sencha!

    I honestly never knew this was a Boba spot. They have a lot of fun topping options as well as variety for milk and not dairy teas. On State Street they often times also have a chalkboard with a bunch of fun little themes, such as the drink you should get based on your zodiac sign or the drink you should get based on the table with area you were in so it's always a fun experience. if you feel like that's OK, there are plenty of options once you get inside. The staff is super friendly and they have a ton of cute little earrings, stickers, and knickknacks that you can purchase at the checkout as well

    Hit me with bubble tea, Sencha!!! This place is a cozy mainstay my god. State Street is peppered with boba places, and Sencha usually delivers. If you're looking for a modest cuppa tea that's packed with sugar this is your place. The environment in here is so warm and there's alwAys cute art on the walls. Great place to study. I'm here on a winter night, tonight. I've definitely written a paper almost into the AM here before. The staff is literally always the kindest! They'll ask you how you are and not in the Trader Joe's way (if y'a know y'a know). Their classic bobas are always good but I'm a sucker for their seasonal teas. Like I got a Cookie Butter Latte. Come on! Doesn't that sounds lush? It was. Getchya Sencha NOW.

    Tea, tea, everything tea. My friend who I went with to Sencha is very into tea and loved all the options and was very happy with their drink. I also got a gift here for a tea lover curated by the staff and the recipient was tinkled pink. I tried the turmeric latte with oak milk and it wasn't great (IMO, a non-tea drinker) - not sure if it was the oat milk rather than cow milk but that was a miss. But why would you care what a coffee drinker thinks about a tea drink?!

    This is a cute tea place. I got a matcha latte. I ordered it with 3 packets of stevia. When I received my drink the barrista had obviously forgotten them. That's usually not a big deal, but because this is boba place, the lid on my cup was sealed. I ended up pouring the stevia through the tiny hole my straw made. Not the most efficient or tidy, but it worked. Atmosphere is nice. I really liked the selection in the free library area.

    Milk tea!

    Since moving from California, I was in search for a bubble tea place that could match up to my old favorites. Sencha seems to be a front runner! The location is perfect nestled along State Street. The inside is quite small and bustling with people no matter the time of day. However, service is fast and people are always nice! The sweetness of their milk tea is customizable which is something I really appreciate. Also, I love the amount of toppings that they offer aside from just boba. They're also open till 11PM every night which is an additional plus!

    Fast, tasty, cozy and wonderful staff. Their peppermint mocha is a special treat on a dreary day.

    One of my fav drink to-go in Madison I've been getting the passion fruit green tea since the first time I came as a a freshman and my friend recommended this to me. Also have tried other ones, tastes nice. Also, a bonus point, there's always nice atmosphere in the store. The staffs are friendly. The store little tables and decors are cute as well

    Staff are always incredibly friendly, and the tea is usually very exceptional. Occasionally lacks flavor, but overall top-notch.

    Very small but usually quiet on a weekday. Weekends are crazy busy! Great natural lighting. Great…read morefor catching up with a friend or getting some work done. Workers are very nice and hardworking! The coffee is some of the BEST you can get in Madison. I have never been disappointed with an order. Same with the food! My favorite is their ham, Gruyère, mustard crepe but I recently tried their ramp pesto, egg, and balsamic reduction crepe and it was also DELICIOUS! Their sweet crepes are amazing, as well. I recommend the lemon curd one as it is not overly sweet.

    First time here. We were visiting Madison and walking around the downtown area. It's a small space…read more(almost tiny) that sits at a narrow intersection, so it's literally a pie-shaped space. The upside is that there are lots of windows with natural light. The inside seating consists of long tables or counters along the windows. This is not a place where you are likely to hunker down for a quiet or private conversation. You can tell that storage space is at a premium, with boxes stashed in overhead areas or equipment in the bathrooms. The staff there were very pleasant and helpful. Ended up getting a Chai Latte (extra foam) in a mug. It didn't take long to make, and they delivered it out to the table. It was an excellent drink -- hot, flavorful, extra foam, and not too sweet. A joy to drink. The atmosphere is a bit manic. With the tight seating, you can feel a bit claustrophobic, or on the other hand, like you are at a concert and getting energy from the crowd. For me, it's a place to grab a drink and find a quiet space elsewhere. So not likely a place that I would return to.
