Tsaocaa Malden - Iced Mango Green Tea w. Milk Foam and Peach Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

Came here during their grand opening BOGO event. Their drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but I did really enjoy it. I got the Grapefruit Peach Green Tea w/ Jelly. The flavors really compliment each other and I really like their jelly, which really differentiates them from their competitors. I believe they have 2 so far, grapefruit and lime jelly. The staff there are really nice, my friend accidentally spilled his drink and they replaced it for him no questions asked. They also serve food, but I did not get a chance to try it. Will definitely come back to try more drinks and food! read more

First time here, drinks look good but we just ordered 3 egg puffs and it took over half an hour to make. That's just ridiculous. People who ordered fried chicken after us got their food before us. If you value your time, don't come here. I'm still waiting for the egg puffs as I'm writing this and it's been 35 minutes already. Update: Asked at 40 mins, turns out the puffs were done and sitting behind the cashier, they were ice cold and not fresh anymore. I will not be returning here, service is horrible. read more

First time here. I was craving something milky, so I opted for the osmathus oolong milk tea with herbal jelly. It was okay, but not great. It tasted like it was made from powdered milk, and there wasn't a strong tea taste at all. If I'm in the area again, I would try one of their fruit teas to reevaluate this place. The place is fairly modern and cute, but the tables and cushions were slightly dirty. read more

New joint in Malden. Since this is base on my first experience I hope they will improve in the near future. I ordered the Peach Green tea. It was refreshing and sweet and do like the lime and strawberry slices that they put in the drink. Pretty and appealing. However services on the other hand was frustrating. One cocoa egg waffle took over 40min. The cashier said it'll take 15 min but that 15min became 40min and I devoured it in 30 seconds. Hopefully they can make it as fast as I did devouring it next time. read more

We ordered on the tablet in the shop and waited about 10 minutes for the egg waffles which surprised me but they were good. Not sure if you're supposed to have filling in each one, but the red bean one did not. read more

WARNING WARNING Don't make the mistake like me and order online There was a big difference in price so ultimately it's sorta my fault but no not really when I went to pick it up i was not understanding why I paid 10 dollars more for my order it got my f*ucked up They sed taxes .. 10 dollars in taxes Ordered large wings which is 26 in store ok maybe 30 with taxes w.e And my receipt was for 36 ... what the actual They themselves could not explain to me the breakdown Anywho let me stop being bitter with that part The wings themselves were very good I got soy garlic and hot and spicy So def get the wings but CALL ahead and don't be a fool like me Nd get played by ordering online On another night I got egg waffles which were just okay read more

They've got a pretty good selection of drinks when compared to the other competing local boba tea shops. Enough for them to stand out from the crowd. The real draw for me though is their fried chicken. Absolutely some of the best Korean fried chicken I've tried in the area, and it's cheaper than most! However, it took quite long to produce, in my case on a moderately busy Sunday afternoon, it took 40 minutes to prepare. I hope the process can be reduced to 20 - 30 minutes or at the very least to have an online ordering method, so you know when to expect to have your order completed with a window of time. Of course, they just opened up, so some of the processes may not be fully polished as of yet. Customer service is great. The girl at the counter was very attentive at resolving customer issues in a sweet manner despite hectic grand opening conditions. Will definitely be here again! It may even become my go to place for Korean fried chicken and boba! read more

We went on a Saturday evening. We ordered a majito and bubble tea, both were good. The speaker system they have going on while ordering is awful because we couldn't hear or understand the cashier. Thank God for the ordering screen, hence it was ok. However, the place got really loud when one of the workers started to bang on something very hard which was very loud for a few minutes each time, every few minutes (I'm assuming he was trying to crush ice). The workers kept on doing it again and again knowing how loud it is. We both left with a mild headache which sucked. We might not go there again as there are other bubble tea places in the area with better ambience. read more

Great selection of boba drinks and a comfortable, pleasant environment. Got the matcha latte and it was at the taste that I like! Will go back to try the fried chicken because I heard that it was amazing! read more

For fried chicken, one of the best in town! Much better than than big chains such as Popeyes and chick fil a .

Pros - Boba quality - Items on menu - Great location, easy parking - Hours of operation. I would rate it higher if... Improve menu displays - Everything hanging on the walls, on the menu, on screens are written with tiny fonts. Customers cannot read it until they get to the front of the line. read more

Service is terrible. The chicken and drinks are good but unless you have 45 mins to stand around and wait for your order then it isn't worth it. There is a significant difference in price if you order through Yelp even with pick up. In addition, they do not pick up the phone at the store if you want to attempt to call in the order. read more

Ordered Jasmine Green Tea with Milk Foam, soooo disappointed in the taste. The foam as no density and flavor in it, compared to Quincy's PTea I honestly wanted to bring it back for a refund. The tea itself is also lacking the jasmine smell and taste to it and this is a 6 dollar tea. Not worth it. read more

This review is for the drinks only. We went in on a Saturday around 1 pm and were informed that the drinks would take ~30 minutes to make. There were two employees working at the time. The ordering process was clunky as there was a plexiglass screen and a microphone, but the employee couldn't really hear what we were saying so she would either yell through the microphone or come around the plexiglass to try to hear. The drinks were mediocre at best. We ordered the peach oolong tea with boba and a peach green tea with nata jelly. The peach oolong tea came with milk but it had already taken so long to get our first drink that we didn't bother correcting it. The peach oolong milk tea tasted weirdly like cereal milk?? And nothing like oolong or peach at all. The peach green tea with nata jelly was too sweet even though I adjust the level of sweetness. Overall, would skip this place next time. read more

Got takeouts a couple days ago via Chowbus. I ordered wings but was given boneless instead. I lived further away so by the time I realized it it wasn't worth driving back for an exchange. I also ordered a guava lime greentea and specified to add lime jelly to the drink. An employee did contact me to verify the special instruction and I confirmed it. There was no jelly in the drink and again, only found out after I got home. I kept hearing my friends and family raving about this place. Too bad it turned out to be a disappointing experience. read more

Tsaocaa Malden - Gave me boneless instead of wings. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

Speed of service is unbearable and also not worth it when there are superior options literally across the street. Malden Center manages to have quite a high density of bubble tea spots. 6 shops dedicated to it, and a few other full restaurants that offer boba all within like a 3 block radius. Lol. So if you're gonna open up shop here, you need to convince me you're better than Kung fu Tea, Gong Cha, and other independent operators... or at the very least give me a differentiator. To be fair, I think they are trying to be a little different by offering Korean Fried Chicken Wings and waffle snacks. But the wings missed the mark for me. Boba Quality - nothing to write home about. Korean Wings - supposedly these are like something special they do. You need to wait like 15-20 minutes for them. Which i did knowing and willingly. But sorry, were nearly flavorless. Drumsticks were larger than I'd like too. I make the NYT recipe at home and would put mine up against theirs any day of the week. Service - atrociously slow. Chicken aside, boba really shouldn't take much longer than 5 minutes to wait for unless the shop is slammed. This place consistently takes 10, 15, 20 minutes to pump out a simple boba order. If you go in during any normal "busy" period, all you see are people waiting around for their orders. It's really strange. They also have built themselves a full enclosure at the register to protect the staff. But they opted for one of those microphone things that a ticket seller booth would have, and that plus the masks makes it extremely difficult to communicate. The cashier had to come around to communicate clearly. Safety certainly a priority, but need to make sure the solution actually works. Overall, I appreciate this place trying. But unfortunately they haven't figured out their system, and either the quality of product is being impacted... or it's not there to begin with. Either way, there are far better options for Boba just around the corner... read more

[01.12.2022] I ordered in person (both bubble tea and chicken) on a Wednesday afternoon and so it was pretty quiet/no line. The brown sugar milk black tea was really tasty and came out super fast! I also got an order of small boneless honey garlic fried chicken. It takes about 20 minutes for them to prepare but it was worth it! If I'm in the area again, I will be back! read more

The milk tea here is great and the cashier will let you know there is usually a 15-20 minute wait for the chicken, as it's cooked to order. I liked the soy garlic and will be trying the secret spicy next time. My milk tea was very cold and came out only two minutes after I ordered it. Very speedy and kind workers. read more

I enjoyed the egg waffle and brown sugar milk tea! The egg waffle paired well with the milk tea. The only downside is that they ran out of boba when I was there. read more

I ordered the dragonfruit tea with milk foam and it was delicious. There are chunks of dragonfruit in the tea slush which provides an extra texture and freshness. I also got the fried chicken and it took about 20 minutes to prepare. They warn you that to fry it fresh out takes that long, but I kind of hoped that for a small 10 piece order it would be less time. I got a half and half order of their secret spicy and soy garlic sauces. The secret spicy chicken's secret was that it was not spicy. I think it was a gochujang based sauce that was still good but it wasn't what I was expecting. The soy garlic has a nice heavy soy flavor but was lacking the garlic component. The chicken was indeed fried well and the meat was moist so even though the sauces were just decent, I really enjoyed the chicken itself. If you want the chicken, definitely order ahead on a food ordering app to avoid the long wait. read more

I don't really like to write negative reviews for small businesses. But they are so rude!! I know I am not good enough with my English, they laughed at my English together in front of me, when I was waiting for my order!! What's wrong with you! Don't you learn how to respect people, or you think you are doing right about making fun of people? But if you're looking for milk tea, it's worth trying. read more

Went back in a day they had boba and it was great! The taro milk was awesome. Fried chicken was delicious - kids love eating with gloves. Averaging the rating from our visits here. read more

The chicken was super good! We called ahead after reading about the cooking lead time and everything was fresh and packed up well. We got soy garlic and honey garlic because we can't handle Korean level spiciness and they were definitely not spicy. Every time we order Korean fried chicken we think we can handle the spiciness and then we can't. But next time we are going to try the Secret Spicy here, because maybe we can handle the spiciness this time. read more

Waited 30min in-store for a boneless fried chicken order. When I asked the person, how much longer it will take, they said another 15 mins. 45min for a single boneless fried chicken order? No thank you! The staff was quite rude as well. read more

Horrible experience. The guy at the register was very rude. When we asked about a drink he didn't explain and said "can you not read the menu". Was very excited to try this place but would never go back due to this experience. read more

If you going here on the weekend be prepare to wait for at least 45 mins - 1 hour. I placed an order online for one drink and 1 egg waffle knowing it will be busy on the weekend. I waited 15 minutes before leaving my house to go pick it up . Take 15 mins just to get there so in total that would be 30 mins already. When I get there I was told my order is not ready yet. I waited and waited for another 1 hr for my order.Ridiculous! read more

Love the vibe once you walk in. Drinks are flavorful. There are so many drinks on the menu that are quite unique and I am definitely going to go back at some point to try. Also tried their soy garlic chicken wings, which were pretty good. Very meaty & crunchy outer layer. read more
