Wow wow wow! Fabulous bubble tea!…read more The cashier was super nice, they were very busy on the Saturday night we went in but the line moved smoothly, everyone was nice and the floors were clean. There is only 1 counter to sit at with a few seats so on a busy night you might not find a seat. But the beautiful weather is coming so who cares. When I'm next in the area I will Definitely be stopping in for a tea

Whale Tea at UConn is a specialty boba tea shop on or near campus that has developed a steady…read morefollowing among both students and people in the surrounding area who make it a regular stop. I found the space clean and the interior with enough character to make it a comfortable place to sit for a bit rather than just a grab and go counter. The brown sugar boba is the signature item. I tried it and the tapioca pearls were chewy in the way that good boba should be, with enough body that they held up through the drink rather than dissolving into something gummy by the midpoint. The brown sugar flavor came through clearly without being cloying. The broader menu covers fruit teas, milk teas, and slushes with a range wide enough that most preferences are accommodated, and customization options for ice level and sweetness allowed me to dial in the drink to my preference. The ability to order without boba if that is not your thing is worth knowing if you are new to the format. Service was friendly and the staff were welcoming in a way that made the shop feel approachable for a first time visitor. Order accuracy has occasionally been an issue, and online orders do not always get flagged as ready in the app when they are, so checking in at the counter if I have been waiting longer than expected is worth doing. Pricing runs over ten dollars per drink, which adds up quickly for a group, and the shop is closed on Wednesdays, a detail worth confirming before making a specific trip. For boba in the Storrs area, Whale Tea sits at the better end of what is available locally.

This is the Whale Tea that created the boba addict in me. When I heard they added egg puffs to…read moretheir menu, I had to come back. I got my usual oreo milk tea with 30 percent sugar and jelly boba, and it was the perfect treat, as always. I got the matcha egg puffs, and they looked so cute with their little smiley faces! The flavor and texture of the egg puffs was also delicious and standard, but I was disappointed because I was expecting an oozy matcha filling in the center, and, as you can see in the photo I posted, there is barely any filling at all. The matcha flavor was very weak, and I was basically just eating a plain egg puff. It was still good, but I hope their other flavors have better filling or it was just an off batch.

I wouldn't have cared if it hadn't cost extra to get no ice/increase volume of the beverage. The employee apologized and remade my drink quickly. The flavors and textures were both nice. It's cute inside. I think it would have been nice to have been greeted when I entered the store and asked if I needed any help/had questions about the menu. I love the taro/ube combination and that lactose free milk is available so I'd recommend this shop. I really appreciate the amount of customization on the drinks.

I may try them again once things are worked out. I'll keep you guys posted on a future review for when I come back.

I'm a bit of a boba tea snob and I hail from South Florida, I'm just here visiting the area. I…read moredidn't expect much from Hartford, CT. I like my boba to be actual tea plus milk and the only sweetness added comes from the boba. So, I was really grateful when I asked about swapping out the powdered milk for liquid milk. They swapped to lactaid, which is my preferred milk for milk tea. They also allowed me to adjust the sweetness and the ice level. I was still skeptical, given the unassuming store front. But they mixed real, actual, brewed tea with the lactaid. Their boba was the perfect size and consistency. I tried their black and jasmine teas and both were perfectly brewed. You'd be surprised at how often people get the jasmine tea wrong, but these guys checked all the boxes. Keep on being your authentic selves, guys!

Overall, I enjoy the products, but the service experience didn't match that level of flexibility.

When you walk into this shop, it's both Pokemoto and what is supposed to be Loose Leaf in the back. Their entire menu is covered off and they don't have any of the menu items from Loose Leaf. Instead, they have a selection of bubble teas on a separate stand up menu. My fiance got the strawberry matcha with no toppings which was far too tart and overpowered by the strawberry sauce, you couldn't taste the matcha. The order was messed up and they put boba in it after he said he didn't want any boba. By the time he finished most of the tart strawberry, the match was completely watered down. We had asked about the original menu items and if they sell them anymore, and were told that essentially Loose Leaf discontinued all of their drinks. So it sounds like they aren't really in business anymore. The cups they use are different as well and are Pokemoto cups, not Loose Leaf. What a let down, as we were hyping up Loose Leaf to our friends and really looking forward to having some. Guess we'll try the Franklin location to see if they're still in business.
