Spill The Tea

Lynn Penati

The worst boba I’ve ever had, the boba itself was mush and not chewy at all like typical tapioca is. If you are looking for real boba do not go here. There’s a place next to the Trader Joe’s in old town that is good.

Was excited to try this place. I got a plain green tea with boba (because I really like the taste of tea without sugar or other flavors masking it). The tea flavor was really subtle/weak and the boba texture was not good (too mushy). 8$ (with tip) for a mediocre tea was disappointing. I didn’t even drink all of it because it simply wasn’t good. Might give this place a second try? Maybe today was an off day. Also I didn’t try the food which might be better.

The tea and food I got were rather bland. The mango milk tea (pictured) tasted like mango but no tea flavor at all. You can tell it has the pre-mixed artificial taste. Boba was mushy. The vegan vermicelli bowl (pictured) with fried tofu and seitan was alright. But at a total of $19, I’d rather just go to a real Vietnamese cafe. I hope to give it another try and get a more traditional tea flavor to see if it’s any better, and maybe find another meal I like. I appreciate the ladies behind the counter and I appreciate the availability of vegetarian and vegan options.

Best boba in the Alexandria/Arlington area, and I’ve tried nearly all of the options out there. Perfectly flavored and quickly prepared. Always an enjoyable experience! Plus they offer rewards.
