First time patronizing Sum Tea. Thanks Yelp for broadening my horizons l!. I was not disappointed. The place is brightly lit and colorful. The space is nice and clean, too. The staff greeted us and explained the event's offerings. There was a menu with lots of choices. We got to choose 3 flavors for our flights. I chose Lavender Lemonade, Gamer Boy and Sparkling Mango. All three were delicious and had either boba or lychee added. I could not choose my favorite. For a snack I chose "straight fries " (as opposed to curly) with garlic Parmesan. Hot, fresh and crispy. I think I've found my new boba tea spot! read more

Sum Tea House is decent option, but the drinks are a bit watered down for me, and there are definitely better options nearby on Olive and Delmar. The staff is super friendly and the interior is always clean and spotless, so points for that. read more

Super cute little hidden gem. The service is always pleasant & timely. Orders can be placed ahead on the app but the walk-in experience is an efficient. The tea is made fresh, made to order & customizable to suit your likeness. I personally love love LOVE the jasmine green tea with a dab a sweetness. Not a huge food menu but certainly perfect snackables. I enjoyed the vegetable egg rolls. ~Christy read more

Driving past I decided to stop to see what exactly this place was . So glad I did , a cute beverage house of drinks is what I will call it. I love teas and always willing to try new flavors. As I'm deciding on a tea flavor staff start blending a drink known as a snowy. This is in a style of a slushy and if you know me you know I'm a SLUSHY gal .....Sold !!!!!. I ordered a strawberry mango snowy. Absolutely delicious:) it's refreshing, it's chilly, it's flavorful, it's ME yay !! Located in a strip mall, limited private parking on a side street is available . Small quaint building. Spacious. Indoor seating available, carry out and door dash is available as well. Clean and clear of clutter. Small snack (food) dessert menu available. Prices reasonable. Staff friendly and helpful. Cute anime characters fill the walls for gamers. Really cute spot. I will definitely come again. read more

This place has a decent amount of selections for their bubble tea drinks. Of all the drinks we had, I like their brown sugar milk tea with boba the most. The boba is soft and has a great texture. The drinks were made pretty quickly. The place has cute decor. There are some close parking spaces. read more

I have nothing but positive things to say about Sum Tea. The owner is incredibly nice and knowledgeable. We had the taro with crystal boba, the brown sugar boba, and strawberry milk with strawberry popping boba. Everything was delicious but the taro was such a standout. I'm not someone who wants a lot of sugar in my drinks, so I got everything with less or no sugar. The taro's roasted flavor was perfect. If you're into anime at all, you'll love this place. Extremely chill place to grab tea with your friends. read more

From the moment we arrived we felt welcome and knew we were in for a special treat! The friendly & knowledgable staff were ready to help. The quaint location was cute and had fun anime decor. A wide selection of boba teas were available and you even had choices of toppings as well. The staff steered us in the right direction and all of our choices were delicious! I highly recommend the Strawberry Lemonade. It was every bit as good as a lemonade from the county fair on a hot summer day! We will be going back to this woman owned business again! read more

Sum Tea House is a women-owned boba tea shop with an amazing anime theme. If you are an anime fan and love milk tea - this is your heaven. We've come here quite often for their fresh taro milk tea. It's very fresh and delicious because the owner makes the taro paste and the milk base herself. Sometime, I got Jasmine milk tea when they ran out of the taro - and I liked it as well. I tried their caramel flan before and it was good. They also had other desserts or snacks and banh mi on the weekend, but I haven't tried those items yet. Staffs here are very nice and welcoming. The owner Elaine is super sweet. She always talks to us like old friends and had us tried samples of new drinks when we were there. Overall, it has been always a wonderful experience here. We will continue to support Sum Tea House : ) read more

I have been dreaming of the boba here since I left. They have sooo many options and they are all so good. I highly recommend the Brown Sugar Milk Tea or the Strawberry Lemonade. I didn't try the food but Im excited to try it when I go back. I like they rotate their drinks because there is always something new for you to try. read more

We visited today for the first time for a Yelp event: Women Run St. Louis! Wow! We were not disappointed! All the teas and drinks were delicious, flavorful, and fresh. The staff guided us through the classics and the new flavors. We were able to enjoy all the favors we tried, but I recommend the matcha latte if you like matcha! It was quiet and had some window seating with a street view. I'll be RUNNING back. My new go-to treat! read more

The staff here is very sweet! My boyfriend and I went a couple days ago and it was a great experience. We have been trying some other boba spots around STL and this one is better than some others we tried. I got the oolong milk tea with 100% sweetness and less ice and it was pretty good, definitely sweet. My boyfriend got the Thai tea with boba, 25% sweetness, and less ice and he liked it! We will definitely come again. Also, it's nice they have some indoor seating so you can study or catch up with someone while sipping on your drinks/eating some appetizers. Also, easy parking in the lot nearby. read more

Ordered online (toast tab) and when I got there they had prepared the hot boba and grass jelly and the milk and tea separately, and when I walked in they added ice, poured in the milk tea, gently mixed it then sealed it. My boba was still lightly warm and perfectly chewy, and the rest of the drink was lightly chilled (i chose the "less ice" option). Very flavorful, very well balanced. Perfectly cooked boba, friendly efficient service. Will be back again! read more

From the moment I walked into sum the staff was super welcoming and friendly! The girl I chatted with was so easy to talk to and helped me choose my tea from a special limited time menu, which was demon slayer themed after the animes newest season! I was super duper excited and the staff mirrored my enthusiasm. The curly fries were addicting and very well seasoned. Plus the tea was sweet, citrusy and better than I imagined! Will definitely be back in to fangirl and i would love more off the menu since there's tons i would like to give a go next. I cannot express my satisfaction enough! read more

Quiet yet only but a little hustling shop. It's hard to complain about bubble tea since it's so hard to mess it up so I can't exactly diss this place at all. It's nice, and that's the truth. Not too fussy, fast and silent service, a good place to stop by. Service is a decent wait, not too long and not too short either. Bubble tea was very refreshing, I also forgot to mention how there were plenty of flavors and toppings to choose from. Machines are sort of loud too. The price was decent and the bubble tea was tasty, I have nothing negative to say. Great spot. Hopping back here again with my folks for sure. read more

Happen to finally taste their Crab Rangoon. Yum. Will get it as a snack whenever I go to Costco . read more

OH MY GOODNESS. I'm not sure how this place doesn't have reviews yet! I lived in U City for many years, right down the street from here, so I'll give you my only con: WHY WAS THIS NOT HERE WHEN I LIVED THERE. My brother now lives in the area and told me I HAD to try it. I'm a Boba fiend being from California, and I'll be honest, we're lacking in the city. The best you'll find is in U City, and prior to this place, they were all meh at best. I used the other spots to curb my craving, but nothing ever hit the spot. BUT THIS PLACE?!? This is it. This is the best boba in the city. Hands down. And I've had almost every spot you can try. I literally cannot wait to try something else. I had the strawberry matcha - the strawberry is literal purée, so freaking fresh. And I can tell they use ceremony grade matcha because it wasn't gritty at all. For the price, 1000000% worth it. My brother said he walked in the other day and they were literally chopping fresh taro root. WHAT. The ingredients are so fresh and top notch. And they have the best alternative milk options (looking at you creamy oat milk). Their drinks are so big for what they give you, a lot of places over ice things to make money, not here. 100/10 on a bad day, I'm sure. You HAVE to try this place. read more

This place makes quality drinks with fresh real ingredients. The owner is friendly and happy to give you her top suggestions. She suggested the taro milk tea to us because she uses real taro and is quite generous with it. She wasn't kidding! The taro milk tea here was probably the best taro milk we've had anywhere - thanks to the chunks of fresh taro imbedded throughout the drink. It's so refreshing to have a boba tea place in STL that provides both quality products AND personable service. We try to make a stop each time we go grocery shopping in the area. read more

I read the reviews and I totally agree - best bubble tea I've had in STL. You can customize sugar WITHOUT getting a weak drink. They have tons of fresh additions - like fresh taro in your drink. My ube milk tea had actual fresh ube in it, so delicious, and I'm happy I can enjoy bubble tea without essentially drinking cups of sugar. The chili BBQ curly fries and potstickers are delicious. read more

Such a pleasant spot! I stopped here after a meeting when I wanted an afternoon treat. I've heard about this spot several times, and figured it was time to try since I was in the area! It's very light and airy with a light aesthetic feeling. The ivy wall with the couch and neon sign is such a cute addition. They have a ton of options! I'm still learning about boba tea and all the delicious ways to drink it, so I inquired about the sum tea. It was described as a citrus like tea with fresh fruit in it. I'm not huge on super sweet drinks, so I was told the different sweetness options I could order. I went with the 25% with mango jelly. while I was waiting, I got to sample a new tea they're trying to perfect, which was a kumquat flavor. It was really lovely and had a bit of a citrus bitter taste. I love samples (who doesn't lol) so this was great for me! My tea I ordered was fabulous! Light and refreshing. The jelly added something really great to it, I was super happy this was my order. Looking forward to returning! read more

We went to Sum Tea House on a Friday afternoon to check out the new boba shop in town! The store had good interior design and was very cute. The staff were very enthusiastic and friendly, and we definitely felt very welcome when we entered. Our order included two black milk teas with boba (50% and 100% sugar), a Thai milk tea (no ice) with boba, and a jasmine milk tea (no sugar and no ice). The Thai milk tea was very smooth and sweetened well. The black milk tea was just the right sweetness if you like sweet things. The tapioca pearls were very fresh and perfectly chewy and soft! I thoroughly enjoyed my jasmine milk tea which was very nicely floral and just the right amount of milk. I was very impressed that they try to use fresh ingredients in everything they make. We will definitely be back to try their other flavors! read more

I only found this place because the other Boba shop was closed. I feel like there are so many different Boba places on this one Road that I just had to try it. So I went in. It's very small but it's delightful and bright inside. They have no problem, explaining the beverages, and also suggesting some pretty good ones. The beverage I got had mango on the bottom of it and it was delightful! Really also like the flavor of this butterfly tea will definitely be coming back again. read more

Great customer service, great atmosphere, and great special menus. Definitely a favorite and I'll be visiting often.

Really great boba tea, on par with Cube Tea Studio. You can taste the quality of the ingredients! Great atmosphere in the shop, it's really cute and clean and the workers are friendly. Expect a bit of a wait for food, maybe order ahead of time online. But it's good and fresh! Can't wait to try more of the french fry flavors. I will say I feel like the food like the chicken and fries is a bit overpriced, but seeing as they're the only boba tea shop in town with snack foods like this I guess they can upcharge a bit. The waffle price makes sense tho :) read more

Nice ambiance and friendly baristas! TLDR: The drinks are extremely sweet, so I would recommend 25% sugar or 0% for all drinks. Their 50% taste like 100% sugar at other places. Jasmine tea - 4/5, the tea is overbrewed since the tannins made it have a bitter after taste. I suppose this is common at boba places and once it's mixed with milk, you don't taste it as much. Jasmine milk tea - 5/5 - got it with pudding and 50% sugar. Still a bit sweet so would go down to 25% next time. Very good otherwise! Passion fruit milk tea - 1/5 - very unpleasant, thick texture from passion fruit syrup. Also sickening sweet and artificial tasting even at 50% sugar. Had to toss it out :( read more

The decor is everything! The bench and backdrop?! Anime and purple?! A dream come true. The drinks were beautiful and delicious! The food was also very yummy!
