So good. I got the passion fruit brown sugar boba, half sweet-- and half sweet was tremendously sweet, so I can't even imagine what full sweet would have tasted like. The boba are sweet and perfectly chewy. There was bits of real passionfruit seeds in this drink which added a fun crunch. My husband got the mocha milk tea with oat milk, and it was so creamy, full of flavor and rich in flavor. read more

Tiger Sugar is a really standard boba place with some extra additions such as an instant ramen bar and claw machines. Compared to other spots I've tried, their prices are great and the boba is great. You really can't go wrong with any of their drinks. I tried the coffee latte (8.3/10) and their mango oolong tea (9/10). read more

Aside from it being VERY HUMID inside and cooler outside, the overall shop was welcoming and cute! The people were kind but seemed tired, maybe because it was so warm inside... and less engaging. And the drinks were nice tasting with plenty of toppings, familiar and unfamiliar. I hope to go back and try more, especially since there's one close to my hometown in Rowland Heights (CA), so my mouth can compare the two. Hehe! And if you do get the oat milk option, remember to get full sugar so you don't just taste only oat milk. Lesson learned! read more

Very well stocked, quick service, helpful and courteous employees however the parking lot is a nightmare. Food court is relatively small but they serve pretty decent Korean food. This supermarket shares the lot with various other small businesses and if you go on a weekend, well good luck to you finding a spot. read more

A friend of mine raves about this location and she just had to stop here before heading back on the road to Virginia Beach. After visiting, I completely understand. Two of the friends I was with ended up getting drinks for spouses at home so they can taste them as well. Customer service is wonderful. Pricing is on point, and the interior is immaculate. Everyone in my party raved about their drinks. While we were there it was a revolving door. If you love Boba, this is a place to have to hit up. read more

This is one of my top bubble tea shops. Definitely #1 for brown sugar milk teas. It opened during COVID so unfortunately the prices have gone up from the $4.66 for a large. Now it is around $6 for a medium. But the taste is still what I remembered. Many of my friends that live in Virginia are willing to drive all the way up here to get it. Their signature #1 is my go to. That or the one with coffee jelly. I like their small boba, nice and chewy. Their numbered drinks have a set sugar and ice level. It can be a little on the sweet side. But I tend to just add milk when I get home to help dilute a bit. Their drinks beginning with 'T' can be customized to the ice and sugar level of your choice. In terms of seating, it is very limited. Maybe a max of 6 seats. So not a good social spot; more for grab and go. read more

Came in again recently and was about to order my usual (#2) and just as they were about to ring me up, I saw the signage for a new offering of taro pudding and I quickly switched gears. I was not disappointed. For those who, like me, love that texture in their drinks, this is the perfect drink. I loved the smooth pudding combined with the soft chewiness of the boba. I don't see it on their online website menu but it;s always a good idea to keep an idea on new offerings when you walk in their stores. Again, another winning visit. read more

#1 Signature - Brown Sugar Boba Tea + Pearl with Cream Mousse is perfect if you don't like your tea too sweet. Items 1-4 cannot be customized for the level of sweetness and ice. Service was super fast for the three teas my party ordered. Online order is available through their website, www.tigersugarec.com. Currently there is a promotion of purchase 4 bubble teas, get 1 free (in store only) for Howard County Restaurant Week July 12-25, 2021. They also sell popcorn and milk egg rolls which would complement the bubble tea as a snack. read more

MY FAVORITE BOBA PLACE! I've had their brown sugar boba before and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. I also got the mango drink. It was so refreshing and I loved the chunks of mango and tapioca bubbles. The cream was such a nice touch too! Id recommend getting no ice for the drinks, because it's hard to get all of the toppings when there's ice in your cup. Staff is also super friendly and hard working!! read more

I had to jump on the band wagon and give Tiger Sugar a try. And I see what all the hype is about. With a variety of Boba drinks and teas on the menu, they have a little something for everyone. I went straight for the most popular drink, the Brown Sugar Boba with pearl milk and cream, and it was everything I wanted. That mesmerizing cup of golden brown love was creamy and not too sweet. The perfect mid-day pick me up or afternoon treat. I'm definitely looking forward to going back and checking out the choco boba! read more

I tried the #2 Signature - Brown sugar boba milk pearl with tiger jelly & cream mousse. The coffee jelly actually has caffeine in it. This drink was so delicious! It wasn't overly sweet and just the right balance of boba + jelly! I finished it before I even arrived home. I wish they have one of these in the city but totally worth the 20 minutes drive! There's plenty of parking in the plaza and easy to get to! Shake well & enjoy! read more

YUM! I ordered the T2 which is similar to their signature drink, T1 brown sugar boba but it has boba and a coffee jelly. If you order these drinks, you cannot change the sugar level which for me was perfect! (i usually decrease the sugar level!) I was very satisfied with this one because it had the perfect balance and it was neat that they offer small and big bobas! Be sure to shake the drink very well BEFORE poking the straw in! Gotta get all the brown sugar mixed into the drink! Inside of the store is still closed due to COVID, but the interior was adorable with their tiger theme! read more

SUMMARY: This is visit # - I lost count (that's how good it is). I attended the grand opening of this location and it was wild and exciting. This line was long while we waited but it was worth the wait. They provided swag for the first 100 customers which was a lanyard (not pictured). We made the 100 cut! They took temperatures and limited customers upon entry. The drinks are amazing! If you're a boba fanatic, you know Tiger Sugar is a big deal. Since the opening, we have been here nonstop back to back. It has definitely been excessive to the point I don't check in all the time which proves it will leave you coming back for more! read more

I've come here multiple times for reasons you will probably read in other comments but I'll say it again for the people in the back -- BEST BOBA IN MD! Anyhow... for this review, I'll focus on a particular experience I had with their staff. I was coming from the Hub and I placed an order online. I underestimated how far apart they were and long story short, I arrived late. It was at least 5 mins past 9pm, and I am so sorry to Tiger Sugar staff again for this! By the time I arrived, they were already closed and a couple of their crew members were standing outside waiting for me. I was expecting to get yelled at or even get a frown...I deserved it but you know what I got? After apologizing to them and they said to me, "no problem, remember to shake your drink! Have a good night"... with a genuine smile. Wow. Thank you. I don't know your names but I hope you get rewarded because that was some stellar customer service right there. Above and beyond, just like your product! read more

Wow, this place is awesome! I must preface this review by saying I absolutely hate boba. Hate. Tiger Sugar has changed my mind and is the only place I will visit!

It was very humid inside, despite it being cooler and breezier outside. The staff was quiet and not very helpful. I liked my drink and I liked that I could choose the sweetness level. The tiny boba was a bit inconvenient. I really should try more. read more

I'll tell you right now, I'm not a Brown Sugar type of person, but this is the best variation. I've tried many copycats and they do a horrible job. Tiger Sugar is famous for it for a reason. Why is Brown Sugar Milk not my type, well it's too sweet and milky for me, but in terms of quality and execution, Tiger Sugar does the best job in making it taste like how it should taste. Personally, I prefer their coffee flavor over the signature as it has a really nice robust flavor to it! Definitely try out different flavors to find the specific flavor combinations that may be suited to your palette. You can now cross off Tiger Sugar from your "Must Try in NYC" list! read more

Tasty boba tea / Bubble tea / 波霸奶茶。 Our favorite have been brown sugar mochi and brown sugar Matcha. What I like about sugar tiger's drink is that their drink base is milkier and flavor is stronger. They always keep inside the shop clean . Service always very efficient. Even when there are long lies, the line was very fast. Parking is very convenient right out front of the shop. The price per cup is not the cheapest, but is comparable to other bubble tea shop price. read more

The bubble tea here is excellent. They have a limited menu which just means they have perfected those drinks. We got the T1 and T4. The T1 was not too sweet (like I had expected). The T4 has espresso and definitely is a coffee drink, not too sweet and perfectly bitter in my opinion. I really like the mix of regular sized tapioca and mini. It's a fun mouth feel and the boba is really soft but good. The service was easy and fast when going into the shop. It was not crowded when we went, but it looks like they do have social distancing markers in place for when it does become crowded. read more

This boba shop has some quality drinks and with some strong toppings to boot. I came in on a Sunday night after dinner around maybe 8PM and strangely the store was empty, I was the only customer in here. That being said, the worker up front was very nice, quick with the order and gVe me my drink in about a minute to maybe 2 minutes. The restaurant itself is very clean. No noticeable dust, nothing feels sticky and everything looks polished. The drink l ordered was the #1 on their menu. On looks alone, the drink looks appealing. A nice lighter beige tone for the drink with the dark brown sugar syrup contrasting the drink itself. Although, I would like to see some more boba, because I just like the chewy texture, there was enough to hold a proper drink to boba ratio. Unfortunately, when I tried to stab the drink with my straw, the cap offered more resistance than other types of boba caps. I had to stab it 3 times and a little spilled on my hand but that's really a minor nitpick. I assume the issue was that I didn't place my drink down and then stab the top with my straw, and instead just attempted to stab the drink while I was holding it. In any case, the drink itself was great. Had a nice balance of flavors with the mousse and the milk tea. Though I do not know if there is any actual tea in the drink. If there is, I couldn't taste it. The chew and taste of the boba and smaller pearls were really good. Overall, Tiger Sugar produces a really good drink, but personally I would order less ice and slightly less sweet the next time that I go. I will certainly want to try some more of their selection on my next visit. read more

Love that for the boba, they give you a mixture of big and little boba. Bonus points for the aesthetic of the drink. 10/10 insta worthy LOL PS.

First Yelp event of the year and it was delicious. I took my daughter and we tried two of the most popular flavors. The signature (#1) and the #3. Both were good but #3 was my fav. The chocolatey malt flavor was amazing. I don't usually like the pearls in bubble tea, but these were actually good! They came in different sizes for variety and tasted very mild. The shop was fairly crowded in the afternoon which shows just how popular they are. I want to come again and try the coffee and tea flavors. read more

Thoughts on the Tiger Sugar #4 with espresso: WOW this is totally just coffee with boba. The espresso is HEAVY with this one, in the best way possible. You get the strong coffee flavor without a bitter aftertaste. This drink isn't nearly as sweet as the others bc of the coffee. I like it. 10/10 can substitute for my daily coffee. More thoughts on the boba: it's different from so many others because the pearls are bouncy without being sticky! read more

Grabbed two of the same drinks. The ratio obviously doesn't have to be perfect but this was a pretty noticeable difference. It still tasted very good, but the one with more syrup? was much better. In addition, I happened to witness some unsanitary practices. A customer that got their drinks before us came back in the store claiming their drinks weren't sweet at all. I'm guessing they forgot to add the sugar syrup. What happened next was quite disturbing . The workers took their drinks BACK INTO THE KITCHEN and started pouring the syrup into the old drinks through their straws!! I'm guessing (and hoping) that they washed their equipments after that, but especially during COVID season, this was pretty disturbing. I thought opened drinks weren't allowed back into the the kitchen, regardless of a pandemic going on. Bubbles always on point though! read more

Tiger Sugar - Bubble Tea Near Me - Ellicott City, Maryland

One of the best bubble teas I've ever had. Love their classic brown sugar milk boba. Their boba drinks come with both the big and small boba which is unique. The boba is soft and chewy. The only downside is that they don't accept sugar modifications for their classic drinks so definitely expect the drink to satisfy that sweet tooth. read more

Finally came by and checked this place out!!! So glad the DMV area has one now! We ordered the #3, which was the chocolate-y one. It comes with pearls. I typically have to adjust the sugar and sweetness levels at most tea places, but with this one, it came out perfect! I don't think I could've altered the sweetness or ice levels if I tried (from what I read from previous reviews) but the standard levels worked! Their boba is the right consistency, soft, but chewy, and not overpoweringly sweet. For the price of ~$6, for a standard size milk tea cup, I don't think it's worth it, but if it's once in a while, then I guess it's okay? read more

Wow! How have I gone my whole life without trying the infamous Tiger Sugar until now? I've been back about 5 times in the past month since I first tried it. The menu is very limited, but they're good at what they do. The first time we went there, we made the mistake of trying to ask for customizations (e.g. less sugar) and were met with cold "we don't do that here". There's only one size and you get what you get. However, that being said, the drinks are amazing. I have tried both the number 1 and number 2. The number 1 classic is delicious. Creamy and sweet with the taste of burnt sugar, I constantly crave it. I also really enjoy the different sized pearls too, which makes it a fun drink. The number 2 was also very tasty, with the richness of coffee and coffee jelly, but I still prefer the classic. Will have to be back again and again. Really glad we have one here. read more

OMG! This may be the best bubble tea experience I have ever had. A coworker suggested I try Tiger Sugar if I was ever in the area. Today was the day. After skimming the menu and suggestions, I ordered the Signature #1, Brown Sugar Boba Pearl with cream. My drink was ready in less than five minutes. I followed the posted suggestion to shake my drink 15 times. The drink was flavorful without being overly sweet. The bubbles were also the perfect texture. Dense without being hard. I know I will come back. A wonderful experience. read more

Tiger Sugar is a bubble tea franchise that is known for its brown sugar boba. They also have teas and lattes available for those who are not wanting the milk beverages. I have been here several times, and I think if they were consistent in terms of making the drinks correctly each and every time, it would be fine; however, note that you cannot substitute or customize in any way (sweetness, amount of ice, etc.). The Brown Sugar Boba Milk + Pearl with Cream Mousse is their signature, and sometimes they don't put enough of their 'tiger stripes' syrup so you're only drinking milk and the tapioca; the amount of the tapioca pearls fluctuate so much that there are times where you don't even seem to get much of them to begin with. The lack of quality control and the attention to detail is not worth the out-of-the-way trip here. I'm glad I was able to check them out a few times, but I won't return. +lack of consistency in quality of drinks +prohibits any type of customizations to beverages +plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot read more

I've heard about the amazing Tiger Sugar bubble tea for a long time and was excited to try it! I've had it twice now but disclaimer, I've only tried their signature #1 drink - the brown sugar milk tea with pearls and cream mousse. After taking your pictures of the beautiful drinks, make sure you shake the drink to mix BEFORE you pop the straw in -- staff recommended 13 times! My friend like the black tea with brown sugar and pearls. You cannot modify the sugar, size, or ice level in these drinks, so I was worried that the drink would be sickly sweet (I do 0% sugar at Kung Fu Tea). I was pleasantly surprised though -- the drink was sweet but not sickly sweet like I thought it would be. I'd say the taste is predominantly sweetened milk (reminds me of cereal milk), not very strong tea flavor. The pearls are a combo of big and small which I enjoyed, chewy and just sweet enough. The drink itself is smaller than a large bubble tea at other places but perhaps slightly bigger than a small. It's pricey and I don't think the drink I got wowed me so much that it was worth the $6, but it was definitely enjoyable. With more affordable bubble tea places around, I think I will make those places my regulars and Tiger Sugar a special occasion. The staff is nice and the interior is new, clean, and filled with cute decor. All in all, I definitely want to come back and try some other flavors, especially curious to try their black tea with cream mousse and pearls to see if it's more well-balanced. Nothing wrong with the location, but just a bit pricy, small, and un-customizable. read more

Probably the best boba shop in the greater Baltimore area that I have had the joy of visiting. The service is fast, the beverages delicious, and the shop is appealing. The main appeal of Tiger Sugar is their use of "brown sugar boba" which has a lovely caramel flavor, setting itself apart from other boba shops. Additionally, the boba pearls are perfectly cooked to chewy consistency, never too hard or too soft. Overall the flavors of their drinks are great and they layer it in a very photogenic way, but don't forget to shake it thoroughly to get it all blended. Also a tip - I am in the habit of lowering the sugar and ice level of the drink (more tea, better flavor!) and while they do allow this, you can't change the sugar level of the "signature" beverages. While it's a bit of a drive from Baltimore, I always make a point of stopping when I'm nearby! read more

I saw a video about Tiger Sugar on Facebook and knew I had to try it the moment I saw the words, "cream mousse"! I know ads are meant to hype business, but I am happy to say Tiger Sugar lived up to that hype :) We've come back a few times now and it's not a short drive from Derwood to Ellicott City for bubble tea alone, but you can't imitate these drinks elsewhere. The classic (#1): brown sugar boba milk with pearl and cream mousse is definitely what you should start with for the experience. I enjoyed the #2 as well: brown sugar boba milk with pearl, cream mousse, and tiger jelly, which is coffee jelly. #2 is good for a little extra kick, but having tried both I like the classic just a touch more :) Price wise each drink is about $5 and change- so the average cost of a grande at Starbucks? My boyfriend was looking for something that felt a touch less sweet, so he got the T4: the Taiwan Classic Black Tea with brown sugar and boba. It is a bright and refreshing drink that still has some sweetness to it. Tiger Sugar is located in a shopping center off route 40 with free surface parking. It can get busy, but there are lots of spaces. There is enough space inside to stand distanced from others (under average circumstances) while you wait for your drink. Halloween was very busy, so it may be less spacious at popular times. There is plexiglass at the counter and a thermometer mounted at the door to check your temperature when you come in. Sure we will be back again soon :) read more

Okay, idk what the hell is going on, but twice now within the past two weeks, we went here and ordered the #4 in-store, which is the brown sugar, pearls, coffee latte, AND CREAM MOUSSE, yet we keep getting no cream mousse! And both times, I asked the barista making the drinks about the lack of cream mousse, only to be brushed off, the first one trying to pass the milk she added to make it a latte off as the "mousse" part. The second time I asked about the cream mousse, which was just today, the lady just said "yes," again, as if the milk was the mousse so I thought she was going to add it, but nope. I let it go the first time, thinking maybe she's new and don't know better, but to have 2 different employees do it on two separate occasions is not okay! I've been coming here for the same exact drink regularly for the entire three years that they've been open and they think I don't know the difference?! How insulting! And to brush me off like my concerns don't matter and went ahead and sealed the drinks instead both times?? What the actual heck?! If you don't make them that way anymore, or your equipment is broken or whatever the hell, TELL ME when I'm ordering and I'll let you know if I still want it. Terrible service! I'm not happy!
