I wanted a matcha and found this hidden gem in the Mayfair section of Philadelphia. The ambiance is quiet and there are lots of seating available. The matcha was delicious. The service is quick. read more

I had a really uncomfortable experience here. While I was there, I saw a manager yelling at employees in front of customers. The staff looked visibly stressed and embarrassed, and it created a very tense atmosphere. Regardless of the situation, employees shouldn't be treated like that publicly. It made the place feel unprofessional and definitely affected my impression of the business. I hope management learns to treat their workers with more respect. read more

I been here a few times and everyone is always nice and I actually prefer coming here oppose to Smoothie King; a lot less sugar or sweetener added to your drinks. read more

It closes at 8pm. Lots of parking and a great location next to a Chinese grocery store and a Chinese restaurant. Drink: Brown Sugar Milk Tea It was good. I tasted both the brown sugar and milk tea, which blend well together. I came during closing time so the bubbles were soft and stuck together, so getting the boba up the straw was difficult because it would get stuck. Like most boba places, their prices are more than I would like at $6 for a medium. Overall would give a 7/10 for the drink 6.5 for the boba and cost read more

Tbaar Philadelphia - Brown sugar milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is my favorite drink there, but I think they are a little cheap now with the red beans. Pre Covid they were offering one free topping when ordering a large drink, but that deal was gone so they gave so little red bean.... On top of that there was a sign that said "only large cups left" with that type of service, it felt like they didn't really wanna do business. You take it or leave it. The staff was not very friendly in my opinion. Felt like they didn't even wanna work in there. They do have a few tables and games for people to sit down and play. But most of the jenga pieces are missing anyways. The only good thing was they having a share parking lot. The lot does get a little full tho since it's share with a supermarket and restaurant but a little walk with parking is better than none read more

Tbaar Philadelphia - Red Bean Smoothie - Bubble Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I've been here a few times but never left a review for them. Every time I come here I always like to order their papaya milkshake. This time it was not as good as before, but it wasn't completely bad. Still acceptable. One thing I found out is they sell bubble waffle!! Of course I have to try. Taste is not bad, pretty good, but the texture is not good enough. Texture isn't crunchy enough. Still a bit soggy overall. Hopefully they can make it more crunchy next time. read more

I know it is me. I have never been into, nor really understood the bubble tea phenomenon. I have tried them a few times in different places, but no matter the location nor the company, the tapioca balls are just a choking hazard, and most flavors pumped full of sugar and heavy syrups even when some real fruit/veggies are used to add extra texture. This Tbaar has occupied a tiny corner of the International Asian Market on St. Vincent Street for several years, but I never considered a visit until yesterday when the 90+ degree heat had me thinking a healthy drink would cure the dehydration that was ailing me. I should have gone with a smoothie, but chose instead to go healthy by ordering a "Ginger Fun" drink. I watched as dude behind the counter cut an apple, celery and splashed in some liquids and powders before blending. The prep was professional and promising. $8 later, I carried out their small plastic container of a pleasant light green concoction to drink on the drive from a major shopping event next door, to home. First sip - Completely unpalatable. It was a sour/bitter taste dominated by a harsh ginger bite that had me gasping and struggling not to spit it out as I drove. Normally, I love strong flavors, but this attacked my nose and sinuses immediately. Medicinal? Perhaps. Undrinkable? Beyond doubt! Literally, $8 down the drain! If there be a next time, I will be less adventurous and go for the milk teas or smoothies; drinks that won't attack like a rabid dog. read more

A bit disappointed :( the first time I came, they ran out of boba so I ordered an oolong tea with herbal jelly. The second time I came, they ALSO ran out of boba so I ordered another oolong tea with herbal jelly. Both times, the oolong tea with milk was very diluted and I could barely taste the fresh oolong tea. It tasted mostly of milk. I may have to come back to really taste their boba and perhaps another milk tea. read more

Tbaar Philadelphia - Fresh Brewed Oolong Tea with Milk - Bubble Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Drinks are delicious. Husband and I are long time milk tea lovers and appreciate when the store is right next to a grocery store. We got the brown sugar milk tea and honey aloe milk tea. All with 25% sugar and they were so fresh, not too sweet. The brown sugar boba was perfect texture (combination of soft, chewy, and sweet). I wish I could give 5 star if judging only the taste but the overall ambiance was lacking to say the least. Boxes every where laying around with some half opened. I'd definitely come back for the tea but fair warnings if you want a nice place to sit down and chill with your friends, this is not the joint. read more

I came here with my boyfriend after grocery shopping. Always love a bubble tea place conveniently in the same shopping plaza. I ordered an avocado smoothie and green tea crepe. Not the best choices, but I was craving the crepe from A La Mouse and wanted a good avo smoothie, which I think Vietnamese restaurants tend to do a better job. This smoothie was not cold, just above room temperature and tasted weird. It also wasn't sweet enough. I usually go 30% sugar on my drinks so for me to say it's not sweet, it's really not. It tastes like a mixture of avocado fresh with powder avocado and some coconut stuff. And they forgot put any bubbles in it. I did requested it, even the boyfriend heard me when I ordered. The crepe was okay. Better than most bubble tea places that I ordered from when I can't go to Chinatown for better ones. It lacks creaminess and the sweetness didn't tastes right. Overall, I'm disappointed. Perhaps I should of order a classic bubble tea. I don't know. Can't wait to return to Kungfu Tea, my usual place. read more

Tbaar Philadelphia - Mr. Green Smoothie - Bubble Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Although I have frequented other Tbaar locations, this was my first time to their Philadelphia location. I was in the area, and excited to get their aloe drink which I rarely have the opportunity to have anymore. The experience here was bad from start to finish. It took almost twenty minutes after we ordered to get our drinks and the place wasn't even crowded! There were two young gentleman sitting in the corner when we came in and one person in front of us in a line. A couple more people trickled in during the time we were waiting. We didn't order anything complicated. My husband ordered the bubble coconut tea, and I ordered the lychee lime green tea. When the drinks finally came out, mine was not even drinkable. It tasted like water with old aloe in it. There was a horrible taste to the aloe. I don't know what it was, but I probably don't really want to know. It reminded of me of when I have ordered aloe many times in other Tbaar locations and it's never tasted like that. I ended up throwing it away after a few sips. It was a waste of money and plastic. My husband's coconut bubble tea just tasted like sugar. It was incredibly disappointing and a waste of money. Head to Delaware if you are craving Tbaar. read more

Thanks to other yelpers reviews about TBaar, me and hubby found our new favorite place in NE Philly for fresh smoothie and bubble tea. Hubby fell hard for Tbaar's Avocado Smoothie. He says it got a refreshing taste that many other places don't have. I tried the Matcha with Green Tea and Red Bean and grass jelly and watermelon milkshake( don't know why they call it a milkshake, it should be call smoothie). I fell hard for the watermelon smoothie. It got a fruity watermelon taste, not a candy watermelon taste like other places. TBAAR'S drinks deserve a whole 5 stars rating but lack of menu items pushes down to 4. Been there 2 times, one week apart, still no Matcha Crepe. read more

Well I just found out about this place from other Philly Yelpers checking in. It's about a half of a mile from me and I never even knew it was there. It is right in the same little shopping center off of St. Vincent Street in Mayfair. The same shopping center as the Oriental Market and China Gourmet Chinese restaurant. It's a little shop with limited seating but most orders are to go so it was easy to get a seat. They have very quick service with a great attitude and a smile. The staff was very helpful and courteous. There is plenty of parking in the huge parking lot. I got a Watermelon Lemonade and it was a little sweet but oh so delicious. It had chunks of Watermelon and Lemon slices in it and was clean and refreshing. The atmosphere was clean and organized. I will definitely be coming here a lot more often now that I know it is here. read more

Pretty good bubble tea. Prices are ok, but it's conveniently located near China Gourmet, so grab some dim sum and some bubble tea. It might have been the choice of flavors I made, but I wasn't a huge fan of the tea I got when I was there (brown sugar tea). Definitely going to give it another shot. read more

Tried this new bubble tea shop in the northeast Philly. It's right next to the supermarket. Prices are the same with other bubble tea shops in the city. I like how there's no city sugar tax even though it's still in Philly. We ordered 3 drinks; the drinks were bland and the colors looked a little off.. read more

Tbaar Philadelphia - Ice Thai tea, red bean smoothie, mango green tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I always see this place every time I leave the supermarket and decided to finally give it a try. They have a big menu for many different freshly made bubble teas, smoothies, and other drinks with lots of fresh fruit on display that is used directly for the drinks. A very clean establishment with very quick service. Took about 1 minute from placing the order to start drinking it. I tried the mango pineapple smoothie which was tangy, sweet, and very refreshing! Be careful chugging it because I almost bled out from my brain freeze but it was delicious! I'll be more adventurous with the drink selection next time. Maybe get some of those tapioca balls in my belly. read more

Tbaar Philadelphia - Mango Mango and Pineapple Smoothie! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I've walked by this property several times when I go food shopping or eat dim sum at the restaurant next door. This weekend, they were running a BOGO deal on certain menu items, and I decided to give it a try. On the first BOGO day, I ordered a mango and orange smoothie, and I ordered a milk tea with bubbles with less sugar. The mango and orange smoothie was refreshing and not overly sweet. I would order it again. The milk tea with bubbles, on the other hand, was awful. The milk tea tasted watered down, and based on the aftertaste, I suspect that they use some type of flavored coffee creamer. The second day, my cousin and I ordered lychee lime green teas - the lime zest made the beverage a little bitter, but the tea was nice and strong. You don't get too much of a lychee flavor, but I enjoyed it overall. This place seems to be known more for their juices and fruity beverages, so if that is what you enjoy, I would recommend this place. read more

With so may options on the menu, it can be almost overwhelming to decide on what to get. Their bubble tea is great, but the smoothies (made to order) are what keep me coming back again and again. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood for something as creamy and heavy as milk tea, especially since it's been pretty hot this summer so far. So during days like these, Tbaar's refreshing smoothies really hit the spot. read more

Not sure why I waited so long to try this place. The choices are endless!! I love the selection and the fact that they have grass jelly. The colorful and unusual ingredients attracted me to try their drinks. I ordered a milk tea with red beans and grass jelly. It was delicious! We also ordered a coconut smoothie with jelly which was good. Some things to keep in mind are the wait times. I really did not like that they charged us for each topping even if was part of the drink. However, it's a bonus that it's next to the Asian supermarket and free parking. read more

I stopped by this place for the first time after Dimsum on a Saturday. Clean place with lots of options. I ordered two classic milk teas with bobas, size large. Taste: 4/5 -- First time here and it was decent bubble tea at a decent price!! Service: 2/5 They ran out of Boba at 2pm and one cup had to be herbal jelly instead. I love herbal jelly but I'm surprised they would run out of tapioca in the middle of the day. Also, they mixed up the order and gave the wrong cup the wrong sweetness. It was too late when we noticed. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! This is my favorite bubble tea store in town. I love the way how they carefully mix the drink and the flavor is amazing. I love the smell of real tea and milk together. Their white bubble is also tasty. (KUNGFU TEA DOESN't have it yet). Very convenient location for parking and also grocery shopping. You don't have to circle around to find a parking or crazy looking for street parking. They have a very big parking lot. The store is very clean and professional. The staffs are nice and very friendly. Again, their bubble tea is amazing. read more

I've been to A LOT of bubble tea places around the country. This one TOPS my list. A little tricky to find, but WELL worth it. I've been there a few times and their boba are fresh. They have many, many choices; and if for some strange reason you don't like boba, they have smoothies and juices. I had their 4-seasons green as well as their regular green. Both very good options; but, the 4-seasons green was really amazing. read more

Tbaar in philly is definitely better here than New York. The drinks here are okay here. They are way too sweet for my liking and I love sweet but it taste like straight liquid syrup. So if you are not a fan of too sweet make sure you adjust your sugar level. They have a large variety of toppings , My all time favorite is white pearls and not every bubble tea shop offers white pearls. It goes well with a milky drink or a fruity drink. The workers here are okay they are not too friendly nor welcoming but it's not horrible service. They do they take some time to make drinks so be prepared to wait a bit. They do accept card which is great. read more

Great summer chill spot... it has a variety of juice,tea, I personally am a fan of the dragon fruit tea

Good bubble tea selections and varieties. The only problem is we've come here on two separate occasions and both times they were out of boba bubbles. While I did have their coconut smoothie, and it was delicious, it would've been nice if they had the right ingredients. Not sure that I'll make a trip here again as they have let us down two times in a row. read more

Was pretty excited to try this place out after reading the awesome reviews but was pretty disappointed. I'm not a snob about bubble tea, I'm generally easy to please. But I really didn't enjoy the drinks I got (taro milk tea, and mango green tea). First, they ran out of bubbles and I ended up with taro milk tea without anything inside--they didn't offer to add anything else instead and I paid full price. And the drink was so powdery and streaky, it just did not have the awesome taste or consistency I'm used to at some of philly's way better bubble tea spots. The mango green tea was a bit better, but not by a lot. It had a funky, bitter taste to it but also managed to be overly sweet at the exact same time. Save your money, go somewhere else. read more

If you're into more of a refreshing juice over creamy milk teas, you're going to like this place. The price is range between $3.50 to $8 depending on what you order. I absolutely love the flavored green teas here, ask for less sugar and you'll love it. read more

I was honestly hesitant to go to this place considering the fact that I have never tried bubble tea before. The boba was made quickly and it was very good! I bought taro bubble tea and it honestly tastes a lot like almond milk. The cashier was very nice and overall the place looks and feels great! I recommend this place a lot. :-) read more
