So I met a girl who was a teacher while in this Mall drinking bubble tea. So I tried making small…read moretalk, asking her "so where do you Teachat?" She didn't get it. So she didn't... get it. Of course I wanted to like this Bubble Tea Cafe and all of the other reviews suggest that it is awesome and wonderful and the service wasn't too bad but the tea itself was absolutely atrocious. Literally one of the worst bubble teas that I've had in a very long time and for that reason I have to give a low rating. I expect that bubble tea in malls will be bad, but I've been surprised in a positive way many times. This is actually even worse than I expected. Still every Mall should have a bubble tea stand or a bubble tea stall or a bubble tea window and this mall is extremely busy so I fully support the fact that it's in here and the mall is really busy so I think they do pretty well. I just hope the people drinking this bubble tea don't think that this is what bubble tea is. I accidentally wrote another review for the same place: I met a teacher on Tinder. I was like "yo where you Teach At." She thought I was inviting her to Tea Chat, and we ended up here. The rest is history. So I went all the way out to the mall in Okemos, and since Victoria's Secret was closed, this little Boba Shop was the only reason I was there. I mean just look at the other Yelp reviews. I know some of them might be fake but some of them really aren't and people are talking about this is if it's the best bubble tea they've ever had. Including people who've tried bubble tea in cities that actually have a lot of really good bubble tea. So I thought well, at the least it's going to be okay or mediocre. No. The girl was nice enough so I have no complaints about that. But firstly she was all out of Bubbles and said that she sold out. I'm sure she just dumped them out since there was only half an hour left but whatever. This stand is rarely so busy that they'd sell out of anything. That was a bad start, and of course as usual there was no discount given, nothing was really offered, I just paid the full price as if I was getting the bubbles in my drink. Awesome. Then I get my tiny tiny tiny little drink and I take a sip and I'm just like no. No no no. It doesn't taste like black milk tea, it tastes like chemicals, or iffy Jasmine green tea, or both. It just went straight in the trash. A couple of sips and boom... It's in the trash. Not one of my favourites and a total waste of money for me. What a long detour out to the mall just to find out how much I didn't like it.

I got the brown sugar boba tea (less brown sugar is not as sweet), it was perfect! Wasn't a lot of people so I was worried that the boba would be hard but it wasn't!

Uni as in Michigan State Uni, and Cha as in tea. But in case you didn't know Cha was tea, they've put tea in the name too. So it says Tea Tea. Fun times. It's a Unicorn-themed tea place, and that alone deserves a high star rating. If I was rating just based on their drinks then I would have to give three stars despite how wonderful and friendly they are in here. They didn't have any tapioca or any other topping that I wanted. A lot of places - when they run out of tapioca - will still charge the full amount, which Unicha did, and it wasn't cheap. I really think they should give you something or knock off a dollar or something - that would be better customer service. On the other hand these guys were busy making elaborate Thai rolled ice creams for a whole bunch of cute young college girls who disappointed me by not really flirting with me. They did stare at my bunny on my arm a little bit and they did giggle and have wide eyes, but there certainly wasn't the sort of flirting that I hope for when I'm working out the way I do LOL. But that is beside the point. The point was it they had great customer service and that they rustled up my tea between the very long ice cream process for all the girls which meant that I could get out of there in a reasonable time since I wasn't doing the extensive ice cream making ritual that most people come here for. As for said ice cream. Honestly it looks pretty good and more often than not ice cream places doing Thai rolled ice cream do get it right. So I will give them 4 stars based upon the fact that they are more known for the rolled ice cream and it's pretty good. But I'll have to give it another try so that I can determine if I should lower to a 3 match the really really disappointing milk tea that went straight in the trash - or a 5 which is reserved for the very best Thai rolled ice cream places that I've loved the most. Or that I've loved the Moch, if they have Mochi as a topping. I even named my lovely little fierce deadly cat Mochi. What an awesome and cuddly kid he is. And lethal and fearless. Anyway I've already said too Moch, it's time to move on to the next review.
