1st time 5 stars. I was just minding my business trying to buy some comic books when I saw this places sign out front. My wife loves bubble tea and I wanted to let her know I was thinking about her. So I stepped in. Inside was nice. I was surprised to see they had hot foods and fries. I grabbed two bubble teas. I got myself one that was honey green tea but not milky. Normally I do not like the type that isn't milky. But this was amazing. I sipped her milky rose one too. These are some of the best bubble teas I've had. The drinks had such nice cups with the perfect little carrier. I also snatched up some macarons. They tasted fresher than any I've ever had. I thought they were supposed to be a little stale. People were very friendly. So I'm going to say I might hit this place up every time I go for comics. 2nd time: We ordered food and it was pretty bad. Both got chicken dishes that had very fatty chicken in it. Tried Taoyaki and that is not my thing. I'm worried I won't be able to keep it down. Egg waffles taste like little air sacks. Anyway I would go here for bubble tea again but nothing else. If that Takoyaki comes back up I won't update you.

I hate to say this but possibly the best bubble tea place I have ever had and sadly it's away from Florida. It has a wide array of bubble tea to choose from. I had the Brown Sugar Milk Swirl which was absolutely delicious, despite the Boba being smaller than most tea places I have been to, it didn't dissolve quickly and maintained its flavor. My friend had the Colorful Fruits tea which had a few different fruits included with it and she enjoyed it greatly as well. You do have an option to decide how sweet you would like it as the tea itself is generally sweet as is. They do have some food items such as fried chicken sandwich, 6 pieces of chicken (soy garlic, Buffalo, original, honey garlic etc.), pork gyoza, fries as well as sweet potato fries.

I went today - The Grapefruit Peach Tea with CWJ is amazing! Would have undoubtedly given a full 5 stars had the young lady at the register not been so condescending and uninviting.

I've been to other Tsaocca locations but this one stands out to me because it's so great!!!! They don't just have boba, they have froyo and other salty yummies too!!! Went here with some friends and got the 20 piece wings half soy garlic and half regular spicy. SO GOOD OMG!! The wings are a bit on the smaller side but they have that perfect crunch and flavor. Delicious. The wait was not bad at all and the employees got it to us pretty fast even though the shop was pretty busy. Inside was clean and bathroom was nice and did not need a lock/code for it. Will be coming back!!!!!!!

The bubble tea at Tsaocaa is amazing! I got the brown sugar and it was super yummy. I took my niece there and she loved it too! It was sweet and such a fun drink thanks to the chewy tapioca bubbles. You can get tired of the bubbles after a while, but the drink is still great and refreshing. We also got honey garlic wings and fries. All was very good and fresh. Get the combo, it's a better deal than a la carte. I wish we did. Any who, check them out. They were friendly as well.

This is a review for the bubble tea. Overall, this bubble tea spot brings a lot of flavor to Main Street on Manayunk. It is comparable to Mi'N Tea, which is located nearby. Pros: - Very carefully designed interior. Very warm and inviting - Price was definitely on the affordable side - when you ask for 30a% sugar, you will actually get 30% sugar - a lot of bubble tea flavors to choose from. We went with the Jasmine milk tea and the matcha bubble tea. - I liked the packaging a lot. Very unique compared to other boba tea places. - Great customer service. Cons: - I felt that the texture of the boba was very rubbery

From jazz hands to great chicken this place has it all.. Tsaocaa Manayunk is located in what use to be the old Starbucks building. I found myself here on a Monday night. While walk to my favorite burger place, a friendly guy at the counter (who I'd later find out was Andrew) greeted me with jazz hands while I stopped and read the sign on the door. I pointed him and the fact that they had Korean fried chicken out to my boyfriend and we decided to made a quick change of plans. So get the special. It's worth it. It comes with some form of bubble tea and your meal. We order two meals from suggestions from Andrew who told me that they have the best chicken sandwich ever. He was not wrong. The sandwich is amazing. The fried chicken was dipped in a spicy sauce and served on a brioche bun. Some kind of mayo stuff was slathered on it as well with pickles. It just worked. I also had sweet potato fries and some kind of milk tea with brown sugar jellies. They were both good BUT the sandwich. Get 4 when you go. We also had honey garlic wings and regular fries...and a second sandwich. Servers were nice, place was clean, Andrew was awesome. Please do yourself a favor and get the chicken sandwich. I am sure I will be back.

A great new addition to Main St.! Not just a bubble tea store, but also froyo and some food items. This is my second Tsaocaa location I've tried, and this place is definitely cleaner with nicer service. Sorry, Tsaocaa, although you are not my favorite milk tea place (too watery for my taste), you do win when it comes to fruit tea in the city. Plus, this location sells freshly made chicken wings, somewhat korean fried chicken style! As in it will take a while for your order to come out because it is freshly fried and smothered in your choice of sauce. Soy garlic was pretty salty but still delicious.

Tsaocaa in Roxborough is my friend's and my go-to boba place! I've had Tsaocaa in center city as well, but something about this Roxborough location is a lot better. Coming from the West Coast, I've had my fair share of boba and Tsaocaa in Roxborough is the only one that can compare. They have a great variety of drinks, their boba is soft and sweet. I tend to go for their brown sugar drink, but my friends also enjoy the peach oolong milk tea with boba too. Highly recommend Tsaocaa! Parking is a bit difficult, entirely street parking, but not impossible.

Left is passion fruit lime tea and on the right is mango slush both with mango boba

This is a review for the bubble tea. One of the best bubble teas I've had. Tastes very fresh with real fruit. I had the passion fruit lime with mango boba with half the sugar. Tastes amazing and the boba tasted like real mango. I would get 30% sugar next time. My friend got the mango slush with mango boba and no sugar and believes that mango purée was used. She loved it stating it tastes like real mango. Would highly recommend!

Manayunk is so lucky to have acquired a shop like Tsaocaa. The staff goes above and beyond for their customers, and you can tell that they genuinely love what they do. Every time I'm in Manayunk, I make sure to stop by and order a bubble tea or some froyo. My favorite tea is the Honey Citrus Lime Jasmine Tea. It doesn't come with any of the bubbles/pearls, but I always add some. The location is spacious enough to bring a few friends, and it's an extremely cozy spot. Highly recommend!

Bubble tea was fantastic. Bubbles had great texture, not soggy. Half sugar with less ice for the brown sugar Milk Swirl Bubble tea was perfect.. it was sweet like a dessert but not excessive, was rich but not heavy feeling, and the brown sugar taste clearly evident in it. Perfect dessert drink. The seasoning in the fried chicken both sandwich and boneless was delicious without it being too salty. Chicken was very juicy. Also it was a bit chewy but the manager explained why in-depth and reassured me about it so I was fine about the chewy part. Great service and the manager was very accommodating and considerate. Definitely would recommend this location. read more

Alright - so I'm a huge fan of bubble tea. Philly has a dearth of bubble tea outside of Chinatown, but this one is a great extension. I've had several options here and they were all great. I got their Thai Milk Tea, which is always a classic. It was not too sweet, which is great, and had freshly made pearls. I really want to complete the meal this day with chicken wings, so I'll be back shortly. Of note, I think this is one of the few ones in the Queen Village area. read more

Amazing chicken wings. Tea tastes much fresher than other places on the same street. A notch above Kung Fu (which is near my house). My kids love the egg waffles and so, we always end up buying several and air frying them the following am for breakfast. I was not a big fan of their chicken sandwich but hubby liked it so likely just a matter of preference. If it was closer, we would go every day given distance, we go once a week. read more

I'm not sure when this place opened but found a review on it on Facebook. After my first order I don't go anywhere else. In the first three days my girlfriend and I ordered 10 drinks. The milk black tea with brown sugar is my personal favorite. But all the milk teas are great! The fruit teas are super refreshing. The extra hot wings are delicious, wish they were a little crispier though. We will def be coming back for more. I'm actually going to order after I post this review.

This place has a seriously good chicken sandwich, it's our new go-to "we don't want to cook dinner tonight" place and we often will take it to the park nearby when hanging out with friends, since it's not too messy or hard to eat outside. Tonight we ordered the tokoyaki and when we got home were surprised by the way the super thin slices of tuna on top seem to move on their own. Since this isn't something that's happened to us before with food we called the restaurant to ask about if that was a thing that normally occurs, and five minutes later the owner called us back to explain it's just how they curl because of the way they are heated. He was super nice and explained how they're cooked and why they do that, and after we got off the phone we tried them and they are in fact super tasty. It was an unexpected experience - honestly I feel a little silly about not knowing! - but the owner was so nice and thoughtful, we definitely will continue going and recommending it to friends. And if you decide to order the tokoyaki - which you totally should! - don't be scared if they're waving at you, it's just the way they're heated! They taste fantastic. read more

I'm seeing a lot of 5 star reviews so maybe I went on a bad day, but what I was served today is a disgrace to food. It was inedible. It was frozen watery rubbery chicken. I ordered a chicken sandwich, fries, 5 pack of wings, and a mango green tea. The sandwich was disgusting and after 2 bites I had to throw it out. The mango tea is almost tasteless and the mango bits they leave in there are almost like backwash in a drink. The fries were mushy and disgusting with no good taste. The wings were the best part of the entire meal, edible. They were still very bad, clearly frozen watery chicken. The only thing I thought was genuinely good was the honey garlic sauce, but that doesn't help when everything else isnt worth eating I never write reviews, but this place was so disgusting I just had to share. If they consistently come out with this garbage it's my hope they close down and make room for a place with edible food. With the prices they charge, you'd be better off going to McDonald's and finding better quality. read more

I've been a regular at Jeni's for some time now. This location operates on a smaller plot of land for sure, but the line moves quickly, because of a super helpful, super friendly set of staff. Note, there's a good chance that you'll be eating your ice cream outside on the side walk, but honestly it won't be too long before it's gone anyways. Flavors are reliable and on-point. Prices have fluctuated for sure over the years, but if you're coming with a group, I'd recommend the Story, to be able to try as many of their excellent flavors as you can. Plus, it's cheaper per scoop than all other options. My only knock is that they used to be way more adventurous in the past than they are now. I remember way back when they had an everything bagel flavor... that literally was spot on. Like so much so that it was not a good ice cream flavor because it was too accurate.

Especially when the shopkeeper seemed to be scooping ice cream away like it was free, I was even more glad I chose this flavor... Sea Salt Caramel: The flavor recommended by the staff. Objectively speaking, it was indeed good, with a distinct caramel aroma, but for me, who had already eaten ice cream that day, it was still too sweet. Coconut: Less sweet than Sea Salt Caramel, but also less milky. Relatively refreshing, but still quite sweet. The server offered samples warmly, which is definitely a plus.

I also noticed they use very good quality fruits - both the bananas and strawberries were sweet and very fresh.

There were two young girls working the windows. I told her I'd never had these before and then I opted for the gelati which is like a icee (slurpee, think 7-11) and layered with custard or a harder version of softserve. I opted for the large coke and chocolate/vanilla twist. They were very helpful. Oh my,it was good. I didn't think I'd finish but by the time I got to the hotel I had 1/4 left. There is a Rita's just in the next town over where i live (Alameda) so i am sure to go over and get again.

This is a review of Capital One as a bank and of the Capital One Café at 17th and Walnut in…read morePhiladelphia. I've had accounts with nearly a dozen banks over the years, and Capital One stands out as my favorite. They strike a rare balance between digital innovation and authentic, in-person service, and this location exemplifies that in a distinctive way. Capital One's app is excellent, intuitive, reliable, and more comprehensive than most. Features like Zelle are seamlessly integrated, and overall, it feels like a true "hub" for managing your finances. Additionally, Capital One's ATM network is impressive. I've been able to withdraw funds fee-free across platforms like Venmo, Chime, and PA unemployment, which I haven't seen matched elsewhere. The machines themselves are highly functional, offering deposits and multiple bill denominations, with a level of flexibility you don't typically see. What's more, you can withdraw cash without your debit card by scanning a QR code displayed on the ATM screen using the app on your phone, which is incredibly helpful if you ever lose your wallet or find yourself without it. For added convenience, inside the branch, there's a dedicated machine that issues cashier's checks digitally. This greatly simplifies and accelerates what is typically a manual, time-consuming task. The 17th and Walnut café is impressive--the coffee is genuinely good, and the 50% discount for Capital One account holders is a great perk. It also serves as a free coworking space with reservable breakout rooms, adding real utility and a strong sense of community. Above all, the people and culture here foster a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. The team is consistently courteous and approachable. Special thanks to Jessie (sp?) with the Capital One sneakers, who is always exceptionally friendly, offers treats for our dog, and connects so well with our kids. All of this exemplifies the broader Capital One culture, which is rare in financial services. I'm a big supporter of both this branch and the broader Capital One brand. Thank you!

I personally thought the matcha one was the best. The service was quick and informative. And I loved the little booths they had, it was adorable. That aside, I do think the drinks are mediocre. I ordered their most popular, Mango Matcha and their Hojicha Latte. Sadly I was disappointed, the mango matcha was VERY sweet, but the texture was creamy. I just couldn't get over the overpowering sweetness of the mango puree, but that's my personal preference. The mango flavor itself wasn't bad! Maybe half sweet would be the way to go, Im not sure if they do adjustments. If you love yuzu, I don't recommend their yuzu soft serve HOWEVER their matcha soft serve is pretty yummy Their Hojicha was watery...I really hoped it would be better. I don't recommend it.

Will never be coming here again after today's experience. The service was absolutely horrible. I order the brown sugar milk tea. The lady refused to remake my drink due to a small misunderstanding. She charged me $2 extra for a little bit of tea which made my drink even more expensive then the one I wanted to begin with. Original price $7.29, which almost came out to $10. With that being said, the drink turned out horrible and went straight to the garbage bin. read more
