I had the Lychee Bubble drink and it was good. There was a long line when I came, but the service was quick and excellent. Also the price is reasonable. read more

Great atmosphere even better bubble tea. Great place to hang out with friends or even on a date!

Coming back to tea leaf after the last incident and I must say they have changed and improved their issues and I am glad to give them a solid 5 star review. Very pleased read more

Normally pretty good, but last night was terrible. Ordered two smoothies, was given two cold teas. When I politely said "I'm sorry, I actually ordered two smoothies", one of the employees rudely responded: "That's gonna be an extra charge" and even after I made it clear that the mistake was on their part, he would not budge on making it right. All in all, great products, despicable customer service. read more

See all

The Bubble tea is great, most of the time the desserts are fresh but sometimes they taste old. I would say 2-2 tasted fresh. And the location is great but the the couches are beat and tables are dirty a lot of the time. They are making good enough money they need a upgrade! And also to focus on getting staff out on the floor cleaning the tables and chairs. They are really nice and efficient. read more

I absolutely love this cafe. It's so cozy and they have the BEST bubble tea. It's also open late hours which is nice.

This place is awesome. Great dumplings and a tea lover's dream. So many tasty choices. Comfortable setting, we always like to grab one of the couches. It kind of reminds me of the coffee shop from Friends but with better service and yummy food. read more

I loveeee this place. It's a little far to drive for me but idc. Totally worth it. I love the tea I get and the staff is always super nice! I have nothing bad to say about this place read more

Best bubble tea cafe in Western NY. They've had a long tenure in the WNY area and were sorely missed when they left. Upon returning, they picked out a great spot for everyone to drop in and kick back and filled the demand that was much needed in the area. Everyone who's anybody in BUF knows Tea Leaf and it makes for a great alternative to the no-campus Starbucks for a quick 2pm pick-me-up for worker bees. They have a dizzying array of syrups to mix your favorite drink, including slushies, and coffees. The menu changes up every so often to keep things fresh and interesting. read more

Love this place! Just bought 10 gift cards from them yesterday for presents to our tenants at Wyse properties. Our tenants rave about this place and they have great customer service and their tea is amazing! read more

Cozy place to grab a bubble tea right before going to movies at AMC. Very helpful and cheerful cashiers. I love it and recommend to everyone who likes flavored tea! read more

Yes, it probably is the best bubble tea place in Buffalo. Unfortunately that's not saying much :(

Everything I've tried here has been delicious! Love their honeydew bubble tea smoothies and their Thai iced tea. The spring rolls are tasty and I love the sauce that goes with them. My son loves the mango bobas and lychee bits in his drink :) I love the flavor suggestions they give on the board as well! read more

Really good flavors and okay prices , nice area to chill. I wish they had a buy two drinks for $6 or something.

The Bubble tea at Tea Leaf is available in so many flavors and options. I personally like to combine vanilla and almond with boba or honeydew with jelly. Pho is great, especially on cool, drizzly afternoons. Dumplings are tasty too. read more

Sometimes the bubble tea smoothie is good, sometimes it isn't. The tea is usually strong and the Tampico pearls are dense. I don't know what changed throughout the years, but tea leaf was definitely better a few years ago. read more

I got the bubble tea and it was delish! You can substitute to different milks and you even pick green or black tea. We also got the popcorn chicken and another small plate that was pretty good. I would really recommend coming here. Nice atmosphere as well. read more

Very cute place! I Had my first bubble tea experience today at Tea Leaf cafe. There were so many different varieties to choose from. I wasn't sure where to begin but went with the passion fruit green tea. It was delicious, I'll definitely be back again to try another combination. read more

Strawberry smoothie bubble tea was great an the steamed chicken an mushroom dumplings was wonderful but popcorn chicken was over done an they need a new devote paint chipping other than that it was a good experience an staff very nice read more

This is my favorite place to get bubble tea. It is so good. Best place to go. Way better than Kung Fu and Tai Chi. 13/10 would recommend!‼

If I'd go anywhere for a heathy smoothie or bubble tea, and there fine deserts are the phenomenal! Great atmosphere too when you walk in .

My friend and I go here about every other week. We love the atmosphere and the bubble tea is to die for! There are so many flavors and combinations to try. I've tried other bubble tea places and they pale in comparison. The cheesecake and dumplings are also really good! read more

My favorite bubble tea! There are so many choices. The first time I went here, I told the staff member at the counter that I'd never had bubble tea and wanted to try it. She happily explained all of the different combinations of bubble teas and made sure my choices made sense together. I've gone back many times since the first time. Service is always fast and excellent. The cafe is very clean, has nice seating options and free internet. read more

Best place for bubble tea, yet they have virtually no competition in the area. I go here a lot and while I LOVE the bubble tea, service is very unfriendly. They are always very eager to kick you out at 10pm on the dot and will blare "closing time" over the speakers. I almost think they believe they can be rude because they know they have no one who competes with them as a business. read more

Tea Leaf has great atmosphere fun and delicious bubble tea food is just ok nothing spectacular.

Great bubble tea and a nice atmosphere, they're quick because they don't use that plastic film cover and instead use a slurpy cover. Bubble tea is reasonably priced and tastes good, although it is a bit sweeter than normal places. read more

Great place. Great selection of tea flavors and it looks great since they redid the inside. Only downside is it's almost always crowded.

Delicious bubble tea, I love the banana milk flavor- the food is good too, the spring rolls are yummy & vegetarian

A great alternative to coffee houses! The atmosphere is nice & casual with intimate tables and two groupings of leather sofas and chairs. The staff was friendly and helpful. Dumplings and springrolls were tasty and nicely prepared. I'd never had bubble tea before - will definitely have it again. read more

This place is the most consistent Bubble Tea place I go to. I love the location, and all the different options. I've loved every flavor I've tried so far, except for the Lavender. That was eh, but the Rose flavor was AMAZING, as well all the strawberry, Vanilla, banana, classic, Japanese, and I bunch of others. I highly suggest getting bursting boba too. Gives it an extra umph :) read more

Went back again with a friend last weekend because I had a craving. We had an almond bubble tea smoothie, a coconut bubble tea, and the veggie dumplings between us. Definitely worth it, even though we had to drive all the way from Hamburg / Colden. More, more, more! read more

Besides the average bubble tea, everything is below average here. I ordered their vietnamese pho and was deeply disappointed. They did not provide bean sprouts and lime until I requested for them. And, they ran out of basil. Stay away from the pho. Their scallion pancakes are disgusting to say the least.They have a good collection of teas but in my experience, people who work at the counter have zero knowledge about the teas they carry. So, you have no way of deciding which one to get because the "flavors" are not on the menu. The ambience is quite nice, and is easy to sit down and study. The quality of the service went down considerably. The lack of good service, and the care-not attitude of the employees is a big reason for me to think twice before going back. If you go there for bubble tea, get it to go. read more

To be fair I only went here once but it was so disappointing we will not be going back. The tea was watered down and lacked that creaminess that makes milk tea so great, plus the tapioca balls were hard on the inside. If you love authentic bubble tea then this place is not the place for you. read more

I decided to give tea leaf another try this time I ordered the original milk tea it was awesome! The staff members were definitely nicer than last time which was a huge plus. The best one was the guy that was working on the register asked if i needed a carrier, which i said yes. When i picked up my order to my surprise they put bith my drinks in the traveler and even tied it in a bag! That was a really sweet gesture. Delighted to see that they've made changes. Thank you Peter for listening to the customers! read more

JESUS, have you ever tasted something so disgusting in your life?! The prices are ridiculous for what they serve. This place tastes nothing like tea first off, and the bubbles are disgusting. I felt like I was drinking water with sugar added. The flavor was barely noticeable and the sugar was just overwhelming. I ordered a taro milk tea btw, will never go again. read more

It's a hipster hangout for sure. It's a cool place and has a really cool idea. I've been there multiple times and the major problem I find is ordering, if you're a first timer all I can say is good luck! The menu is actually pretty confusing, it's split up into 3-5 menu boards one of which is on the wall next to the cash register (super incovenant and you don't notice it unless you know it's there). Also they have a couple different teas and only certain ones can have bubbles or can be mix with other teas. The staff is really bad at helping customers order if there is confusion and they don't tell you your options if you ask. Having said all of that the tea itself is really good (if you manage to get past the ordering process). You can mix at least 2 different types of teas as long as they are in the same category of tea so your tastebuds won't get bored! The food is pretty good too! I had dumplings there and the only con is they took a lot longer than we were initially told. read more

I tried this place three times now because of the high reviews and I keep thinking, maybe it's their bad day... First of all, they don't have Jasmine Green Milk tea, which is a classic basic green milk tea that every other bubble tea place across the states carries.... Weird. First time I tried Thai iced tea with bubbles. Thai iced tea was quite sweet...but still drinkable....but the bubbles were the worst I've tasted... It was hard inside and mushy outside....which means its been chilled then sat outside for over 6 hrs. Gross. Second time, I tried taro tea with no extra sugar requested(since it was too sweet last time) with bubbles. Bubbles were much better! So I guess first time was a bad day.... Taro tea tasted too watered down though. It wasn't tasty but drinkable. Third time, I asked for a recommendation. The server said taro, coconut. I asked for a less sweetened version since I don't like it too sweet. The server said no problem! But when I tasted the tea, it was literally the sweetest thing I've ever tasted. It was literally drinking taro/coconut flavored liquid fructose syrup. And to add to my disappointment, the bubble had the same consistency as my first visit. Hard inside, mushy pasty outside....no soft chewy texture you look for in a good boba. I'll prob never go back again. Three times and you're out in my book! read more

This place is pretty good. First of all, the staff cares about your experience, they are eager to hear what you think of the food and beverages. It's obvious they care about what they serve you. I'm not new to bubble tea being from nyc, and this cafe does it right, what a lot of people don't know is that you can customize pretty much any drink to your liking from the amount of tapiocas, the sweetness, to any number of flavor combinations. It's a lot of fun to try out different combos. Overall, the food is excellent. And they open til 1am on the weekends! Big help when you want get away from campus to study. read more

This place never disappoints. But for me, I don't have the biggest sweet tooth but I still like the drinks here. I had the Thai iced tea the first time and it was good but a little too sweet for me and then I had the hot Japanese green tea. Very on point. Can't wait to go back to have it again. :) read more
