Comment: I will admit that I judged this place by its store front -- thinking that it would be mediocre Whitewashed milk teas. I was pleasantly surprised and kinda sad Ive walked in a couple times previously before getting myself to try it.They have a cute gift area, so if you a small gift idea!They also have cute boba accessories by the register for any other boba lovers.I always get the iced chai latte. It has a lot of spiced chai flavor, not overly sweet and best yet- its made with OAT milk. Its hard to find good milk-alternative milk teas shops. They also have some pastries and they collaborate with local bakeries too. They try to be eco-friendly, so if you are a regular - you can leave your tumbler there (theyll tag your name on it and you can reuse it each time! Neat idea.)

Comment: Come here often. Small boba drink selection but great quality. My to go is the Joco Latte with boba, I go with full sugar, not overly sweet, prominent tea flavor, no artificial taste. It’s worth my $ and calorie intake. Nice staff and ambience are plus!

Comment: Love visiting Tea on Piedmont! Not only are their drinks delicious, they partner with other local small businesses for popups so that we can learn about them and can easily purchase them at the store! I’ve already gotten Formosa Chocolates, Bake Sum pastries, pineapple tarts and most recently the Anton crepe cakes from them 🙌🏼 The staff and owner are extremely kind and friendly — I’ve never been disappointed and neither will you.They are also pet friendly so you can bring your fur babies the next time you want to get boba with friends here :)

Comment: First time visiting the area and I love that we decided to come here for tea. They were very friendly and the vibes here were great. The little shop had so much to offer: many types of tea, cookies, cakes, chocolates, and a little merch area from different local stores. The tea here is strong and refreshing. Wish I could visit here more often. Would definitely want to come back again.

Comment: Adorable store with great atmosphere and tea latte. I love the way they decorate the store, very relaxing to the eyes, and combined with wifi connection, this makes a great spot for reading a book, hanging out with friends and working/studying.The price is a bit on the higher end for a tea latte, I believe, but I think the quality makes it worth it :) I got the oolong macadamia latte after trying its sample, and its truly lightly sweetened, even the boba! I could taste the teas fragrance and the milks nutty flavor with subtle hints of sweetness. Very satisfied and will come by again to try other tea.

Comment: This is nice little spot Ive found in Piedmont, very nice and pretty quiet! Can imagine myself doing some work here! Has a lot of space! Their best drink is definitely their hojicha latte(not shown in my review picture)I think thats what their well known for, and I approve, its very nice and nutty! As for some of the other drinks(ones from the pictures) theyre okay, but thr hojicha is the standout! Give it a try! Sometimes they run out!

Love their many non-dairy options. Sitting area is spacious with tasteful interior decorations. Perfect place for a Sunday afternoon restful stop.

Comment: If you want a relaxing environment for a hot cup of tea or latte!! Tea on Piedmont is your place!! Love it!This is such a cute and beautiful tea, House, Hojicha latte is always my go-to! Its just perfect the way they make it. I know I should try other tea or lattes, but Im happy with this.I dont how much the crepes are, I dont dare to ask bc it has Anton on it, its going to be expensive but delicious ... the chocolate looks way too pretty to consume.As much as I love this tea house, the parking can be hard to find at the times. So give yourself extra 10 mins to look for parking. I was lucky to find parking today at the end of the block. Yay!!Follow me : @Ssindyeats on IG for more foodie bites and travel. Thanks

The space is very clean, bright, and tastefully decorated - a great place to work from for a couple of hours or to hang out and enjoy a cup of tea and a dessert with a friend. Tea on Piedmont is a great addition to the neighborhood.

Comment: Loved our experience here. As someone who appreciates good quality tea, you definitely get that here. If you dont want caffeine, theres still a milk tea/tea option for you without having to opt for something fruity or slushy like at other tea/boba spots - try their barley tea latte! Flavors are light and not too sweet. And from a business perspective, I applaud them for balancing appeal to people seeking boba with authentic tea flavors and those just wanting a morning hot tea latte. Also their baked goods are AMAZING- try the ube mochi bite! Highly recommend.

Comment: Stoked to see a local tea shop that makes really yummy boba tea that ISNT super sweet! Ive been ordering the jasmine boba tea and its quite tasty, and the subtle sweetness is perfect for such a delicate tea. I also like that they have a large collection of non-dairy milk options. I do wish the teas were a wee bit less watery—I think maybe the concentration of tea used in boba drinks is typically stronger than what youd use for a regular cup of tea, so that might be where the issue is?As for the ambience, the space is really big and beautiful, but it is quite echoey because of all the hard surfaces and big open ceiling. It would be nice with some sound-dampening decor to help make the space feel more cozy.They also offer some nice locally produced sweets and treats, but the thing Im most excited about is the asian pastry options. I hope they continue to carry these pastries—brunch boba and buns is a perfect combo!

Comment: Walked in a few weeks ago and ordered the Hojicha Latte based on reviews. Similar to what other people have mentioned, the drink is more tea flavor with a slight sweetness. I enjoyed the drink itself but the boba was hard to chew and didnt taste very good. I will likely come back but will stay away from the boba.

Comment: Love this new spot! You can tell the tea is high quality and I love that they use real and fresh ingredients for their drinks (rather than powders or artificial flavorings that some other places use in their boba drinks). Ive tried a few of their drinks, but the Joco latte, which is jasmine tea with oat milk and coconut sugar is my favorite! I also liked the oolong tea with macadamia milk and the hojicha latte a lot. Perfectly balanced, just lightly sweetened. The space is clean and beautiful too and there is so much natural light, its a great spot to sit and read by the huge windows.
