    Authentic Tawainese style tea and bubble tea shop, super close to home. The inside is super cute and well decorated. Lots of space for work if you want to sit. I got the rose tea, little ice and no sugar. Very refreshing with bold notes. The medium, I think was 16oz.. but was over 5.50$--so it's a bit pricey

    Tamago toast and green tea with boba
    Alex P.

    First time here and I really enjoyed it. I was running errands in this area and came across this place. The vibe here is very chill and there is ample seating area. The tamago toast (egg salad) and green tea boba is good. They offer a bunch of different coffees and milk teas. I'm definitely coming back!

    TL;DR: If you like your desserts and drinks not too sweet (iykyk), get 50% for fruit drinks and 75% for tea drinks and it's perfect. The fruit drinks are better than the tea drinks here. DRINKS I've been to Takao several times since it opened and I'm obsessed with their fruit drinks. The seasonal Grapefruit Green Tea is so citrusy and refreshing and perfectly balanced, and their Watermelon Latte is awesome as well. They use fruit and not just powder and it shows. The tea drinks, on the other hand, are just okay. I would much rather recommend Gocha or Ding Tea if you're looking for high quality tea like a solid Oolong Milk Tea or deep, rich black tea. The Takao Black tasted almost carmelly, like brown sugar, and it was a bit too much. You can modify the sugar on most drinks, and I would recommend doing that (lower to maybe 75%) for your first time. I find all of their drinks to be *very* sweet except, weirdly, the ones where you can't modify the sugar level. I don't know how or why that is, but it's true. TIPS AND TRICKS I love the ambiance in Takao and the staff are really friendly, but this isn't a great place to study or hang out with a group. Takao doesn't offer wifi and has virtually no outlets for charging. It also doesn't offer seating suited to a large group, and the seats tend to feel either too low or too high. Overall, a good boba addition to the area. Would definitely recommend over Tsaocaa and the other recent boba openings, and it's worth visiting if you love bubble tea.

    Went on a walk and stopped by Takao Tea. This was my second time here and I wanted to give it another try. It didn't seem like the AC was working, so it was so hot inside. The boba topping is not included with the drinks and is $0.70 additional. I was disappointed in the milk teas, as they were watered down and the boba was mushy. The drinks were small considering the price you pay.

    This place reminds me a Lofi beats setting. It is so peaceful and the decorations are beautiful! It was not busy when we went at 2PM on a Thursday. I got the strawberry matcha and the boba was perfectly sweet. The brown sugar latte tasted like flan and it was good, not too sweet! The customer service was excellent, the cashier asked us if we wanted a punch card and that our tenth drink will be free if we got one. I wish this place has more customers because it is truly the cutest!

    Not gonna lie, kinda shocked that I was able to find such an authentic tea spot in the middle of Olathe! I'm currently living in San Diego and this is pretty on par to the quality of tea that we have here which is awesome :) My favorite thing to get is the iced HK style milk tea, 70% sweetness! If you've never had it before, I would say that it's a very very strong tea flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. Very similar to something you might get in actual Hong Kong!! The owner is super kind and from HK herself. She is great at suggesting new drinks to try! I LOVE the vibe of this tea shop, lots of open space and a good amount of seating (and a cute couch). The parking lot is fairly large so parking shouldn't be an issue. Definitely swing by if you've been looking for a good and authentic tea spot. Best one in town!!!

    Takao Black Milk Tea with Boba
    Rachel T.

    Takao Tea is the very first boba shop in Olathe! The drinks were delicious! I tried 3 different ones including the Pineapple Tea, Black Milk Tea, and Herbal Tea. All of them had distinct flavors and tasted great. The boba topping portions are very generous too. The shop has a very relaxing and chill ambiance. Everything is very modern and clean. It would be a good place to get some work done while treating yourself to a drink. Overall, I highly recommend! Service was quick, fast, and friendly. The workers were genuinely happy and even took the time to explain their unique menu items.

    Black milk tea with tea jelly
    Vicky T.

    I had black milk tea with tea jelly. Surprisingly it was very good and refreshing. The tea jelly was introduced as homemade, so it has unique taste, and it's now my favorite. The milk wasn't too heavy for my stomach. The tea has special floral flavor and not too bitter eventhough I ordered no sugar. The shop is small and cute. I would definitely come back in the future

    Our to go drinks! Even our car was intrigued

    Store atmosphere is awesome, and the drinks are amazing! Would recommend Takao Tea to anybody!

First of all, be sure not to blink because the sign isn't very visable and the location is unassuming from the outside, abeit a very clean exterior. Walking in, I love the vibe, trendy but not pretentious, grounded yet modern and a fair amount of people but not overflowing. Yessiree Bob, this is my kind of place. Oh and the baristas are patient, kind and willing to offer advice based on your individual tastes. I've been here several times; however, my eating habits preclude me from indulging in anything outside of berries. Do the apple fritters, donuts, muffins and other items look outstanding, of course they do. In fact, my buddy whom I generally meet there has raved how good the pastries are and after living in Austin and trying home made poptarts, I'm still kicking myself for not trying them. However, the path to maintaining a healthy weight and figure is paved in discipline. I must admit they nailed the ambiance. The cement floors are patterned with what looks like dark wood textured tiles and the walls are a warm burgundy, emitting a certain visual warmth. The hanging art amuses me, sometimes it's movie paintings, sometimes its modern art while other times it's eclectic and I've never figured out their rotation, but I appreciate it. The hanging lamps offer a bit of 2010 mod while the open coffee service area proudly displays all of the tools of an expert craftsman. The counter area has a small display case enticing the sweet tooth and the chalk boards give a simplistic view of their menu, but they also offer daily "experiments" that are fun to sample. The first time I came, I tried the Café Au Lait which was very strong, robust and full of lasting flavor. The 12oz amount seemed to be about perfect for my needs. The next time I dropped by I sampled the Dulce de Leche which was a mistake. Why, you might be wondering? Because I've never ordered anything else since then and I always get the 16oz. It's smooth, a little softer on the coffee flavor while balancing it with the strong caramel notes. I know it's probably got more calories than I want, but hey, that's why I'm not eating! They also have some pretty good selection of home ground coffees from places like Ethiopia, Costa Rica, Brazil and other far, far away locations. Come to think of it I don't recall if they have any Hawaiian beans which are pretty trendy now (Kona is a great coffee!!) Oh I forgot to mention they do have a fast wifi but please for the love of God, don't be that geek in the corner pretending to write the great American novel in the corner. That's so.... 2000s.... Overall, this is my favorite coffee shop in Overland Park and it's not even close. Stop on by for the best coffee experience you'll have in the area!

Pour is way out in the southwest stretches of the metro but anchors a fairly busy strip center. The space inside is homey and not enormous, but there are plenty of spots to enjoy. The house brew is strong and always fresh and their breakfast burrito game is seriously on point. The beverage menu is fairly standard, from latte through seasonal offerings, and each drink is handcrafted to your wishes. The food menu is not extensive, but what they do, they do really well. There are a couple of sandwiches on the menu and their aforementioned breakfast burritos are outstanding. Pour offers several varieties and packs alllll the freshness and flavor inside those tortillas. You could even pair one up with one of their baked goodies and you're in for a treat. Hint: try a handmade Pop-tart. Parking is super easy, pricing is pretty fair, and the service is local & friendly. Their outside seating is unexpectedly cool as the strip center isn't exactly made for a patio, but Pour placed several tables on the front sidewalk and around the side in the shade for a nice touch. It can get busy, because there's not a lot of competition and demand is high, so be sure to be cognizant of when the high school gets out. Sample & enjoy!

Yes, $9. That's on the expensive side for a latte, so I went in with pretty high expectations. Everything about the experience was quick and efficient. The line moved fast, my drink came out quickly, and I was in and out with no issues. The shop itself seemed like a great place to sit down and get some work done or catch up with a friend. Since it was such a nice day, I decided to sit outside. My first sip immediately stood out because of the texture. It was probably the smoothest coffee I've ever had; silky, creamy, and almost pillowy on the tongue. Unfortunately, that's where most of my praise ends. The coffee itself tasted fine, but nothing about the flavor stood out, especially considering the price. I ordered a vanilla latte, but I couldn't taste any vanilla at all and got virtually no sweetness from the drink. Overall, it's not bad coffee by any means, and the texture was genuinely impressive. But for nearly $9, I expected a lot more flavor. I don't regret trying it, but I wouldn't come back at that price point.
