3.6/5 I love this chain for their high quality tea. Boba enthusiasts will definitely enjoy the brown sugar, creamy texture and lovely floral flavor in each tea. While not usually the case from other locations, I will say the tapioca pearls were a pit undercooked/tough rather than bouncy and soft/chewy, though it shows how great the milk tea was since I still thoroughly enjoyed my drink. read more

Short and sweet review: This is my #1 boba spot in Pittsburgh. Quick, delicious & in one of my favorite neighborhoods. 10/10. Don't miss it if you're a boba lover! read more

Stopped by for a drink on a hot day. Tried out the Mango Yogurt drink at 30% sugar. The Mango tasted good but I really didn't like the boba. It was just extra chewy or something. Service was good and we didn't wait very long. read more

Tsaôcaa - Mango Yogurt with Crystal Pearl - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I tried the very mango slush with mango and grapefruit and bubbles. The flavors were great at 30% sweetness. Unfortunately the fresh mango pieces were not ripe. I would skip the bubbles next time. They just didn't quite fit in with fresh fruit bits. This location is definitely less fancy than the one in Squirrel Hill. They have the same ordering kiosks, and even a few stools. The ordering process was straightforward. I would maybe try their milk tea here next time. read more

Tsaôcaa - Very Mango Slush With Mango & Grapefruit & Bubbles - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

First time checking out this location (original in Squirrel Hill). It was super easy to order with their touchscreen kiosks. There are three, so I can see how things could get backed up if a line forms. I chose the mango milk tea at 50% sugar and less ice. I was informed that the fruit milk tea is technically lactose-free (contains whey) if ordered without the milk foam. I was happily surprised that the default boba was nata jelly, instead of tapioca pearls. I signed up for membership perks, which included 10% off my first order and lifetime 3% cashback bonus. They even texted the membership card, which can be conveniently saved to Apple Wallet. My only wish is that there was seating inside. Usually I take my boba to-go, but sometimes I like to hang out while I sip and catch up with friends. Otherwise, service was great and will definitely be back! read more

I love this tea! So many choices. Being able to order ahead on the app and pick up a plus.

This was a nice small and cute boba place. I just got a regular brown sugar boba and it was still really good. The service was good and pretty quick but I went at a later time!! read more

Tsaôcaa - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Great spot for a sweet treat and caffeine fix! Love the squirrel hill location and was excited to try this Oakland location once it opened! Since it is newer, there was no wait to order. I opted to use one of the several self ordering tablets instead of ordering with the cashier. The tablet was easy to order on and automatically prompted you to choose the sweetness level of the drink and offered additional toppings. When I went there was no seating available. I am hopeful that they would add tables and seating since there is room for it in the front of the shop. My order was made quickly and the staff member that gave me my drink was very nice. I got the lychee green tea with crystal pearl and milk foam. It was delicious and refreshing! Overall a great spot for bubble tea! read more

A small spot to pick up some boba. You order on the touchscreens and there are so many options to choose from - everything from milk teas to fruitier concoctions. Lots of different customizable options, with an added fee of course. The milk teas are all non-dairy. I got the brown sugar milk black tea with bubbles (boba) at 30% sweetness. It was still pretty sweet so I wish you cold customize it even more between 0 and 30%. The boba pearls were good and really soft. read more

This place is always wayyy less busy than the one in Squirrel hill! Parking is more of an issue than the one in squirrel hill though - however I usually just order online and pop out of the car for pick up. The menu and tastes are the same in both locations. Tsaocaa is definitely my favorite place for bubble tea in pittsburgh! So glad they opened up another location! read more

Tsaôcaa - a storefront on a city street - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I have pretty high expectations for my boba, after trying out so many great places in the Bay Area. I'm not too familar with boba places on the East Coast, but Tsaocaa did not disappoint - it was delicious and there's so much variety! The store smells so strongly of boba when you walk in. You place your order on a kiosk, then pick it up at the counter, so minimal interaction with staff. My favorites are the fruit mojito drinks, in particular, the lychee mojito. It reminds me almost exactly of my favorite drink back at home. I usually pair that with crystal boba. I've also tried the pineapple yogurt drink and it's good, but comes in a tiny cup. I guess it might be too heavy if I had so much yogurt though. The melon drinks looked unique, but the melon flavor didn't seem to go as well with the tea. The prices are decent, but it costs a whole $1.10 to add certain toppings which is pretty wild to me, since most places I've been to add toppings for 50-75 cents. Another thing is that all the straws are entirely plastic and wrapped in more plastic. It would be great to see some of those bamboo fiber boba straws that are so common on the West Coast. There are still so many drinks here that I really want to try. I'll be back soon! read more

Love that there's another location in town since the Squirrel Hill one is super crowded usually with college kids. The service here is pretty fast even though they do get pretty busy being right at Pitt. Staff is nice even though they're super busy. They have better self ordering kiosks here than the Sq. hill location and they don't freeze up like those do. The drinks are pretty good and consistent as well, same as their other location. We liked our boba a lot! You can't go wrong with Tsaôcaa since they're the best boba in town and they have these back in NY. They have a wide menu with tea, milk tea, fruit teas, and Cantonese snacks like egg waffles. read more

the squirrel hill location is better. but still tsaocaa tastes so good and the passionfruit pineapple is amazing as always but sometimes this location does not hit the spot as much as the squirrel hill location. read more

it's okay, if i do go there i usually order the brown sugar milk tea, bc i don't like anything fruity, but it's usually too milky, but it's not overly sweet. read more

We had an order delivered to the hospital for our team. Almost endless variety of options for their hot and cold drinks, so everyone got exactly what they wanted. The portions are large and the quality high, to justify the prices. Alrhough their website was qlitchy and i had to use a third-party site, I would probably order from them again. read more

Best boba I have ever had EVER! 10/10 every time. Highly recommend their peach flavored drinks because they always taste like peach cobbler.

Amazing service, the bubble waffle is sweet and crunchy which is perfect. My go to boba is a brown sugar milk swirl and at 100% sugar it is perfect because it taste a bit more than just milk. I have had a chance to try their strawberry green tea slush, which has a subtle green tea taste(but it is almost a dollar more to add tapioca pearls). But overall good but can be pricey read more
