    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.

    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.

    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!!!!!!!

    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.

    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!

    A day with beautiful temps meant everyone was flocking to get ice cream. When my friends and I…read morearrived around 4:30 PM, it was somewhat hectic, but there were three associates behind the counter so the wait didn't seem long at all. For a limited time, they have a "Biscuits with the Boss" flavor as a collab with Ted Lasso. I was feeling something fruity so I went with Watermelon Taffy and Goat Cheese with Red Cherries. The half scoop needs to be a thing at more ice cream shops because it is the PERFECT portion! I loved that I could try two flavors without feeling stuffed. Goat Cheese with Red Cherries - very rich and creamy with just enough of the tart cherry to balance out the goat cheese. Watermelon Taffy - almost like a sorbet with watermelon flavor. So refreshing! The little waffle cone piece on the side was a great way to add crunchiness. Every flavor at Jeni's is so fun and interesting. I can't wait to stop in again!

    Had this back to back with a nearby local ice cream shop and wow-- Jeni's is fantastic!…read more I really appreciate the creativity that they put into their flavors here. I sampled five flavors and my top three were the Hibiscus Chili Punch, Summer Berries + Passion fruit, and the Watermelon Taffy. The staff member that helped us was very kind, informative, and enthusiastic. He was very open about the flavors and was not shy to tell us what might be too sweet. I wish we came earlier in the day because we got there 30 minutes before closing and they were already in the process of cleaning up. The store still had a super cute color theme going on and it was very clean. We sat at the window barstools while we finished out single scoop. One unique thing about Jeni's is that they serve each flavor by the half scoop, so one scoop automatically defaults to two different flavors!

Luckily, this time the line was pretty short! They have a rotating menu with a special sundae each week. This week's was a strawberry lemon sundae, which didn't really appeal to me, so we opted for their hard ice cream and their iconic dipped soft serve instead. The hard ice cream flavors are pretty unique, and the one we tried was tasty with a good amount of inclusions mixed throughout. However, I'd say it was still pretty comparable to other ice cream shops in the area and didn't necessarily stand out to me. For the soft serve, we got vanilla dipped in a cookie butter shell. The presentation is great and definitely iconic, but the overall taste was just alright. It didn't really blow me away. If you get it in a cone, be prepared to eat it quickly because it melts fast! There's no seating inside, so we had to stand outside and eat our ice cream. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I'd love to come back when they have a weekly sundae that sounds more up my alley. I'll definitely be keeping up with their Instagram to see what's on the menu because I really want to come back and try one of their sundaes!
