What Customers Are Saying
- Friendly Service & Great Menu Selection:
“The staff at this place were very friendly and helpful. The parking is easy. I tried the fruit tea and watermelon tea from the liceo, the watermelon slush, and the strawberry Yokult drinks—everything was fantastic. Highly recommended!” - Solid Boba Offerings with Customization Options:
“Wait a moment… is it Ding Tea or ‘Drinks and Tea’, or both? Either way, this boba shop keeps it simple and delivers solid beverage options for anyone craving boba in the area. They have all the classic drinks you can imagine in any boba shop. You can choose the tea base, flavor syrup, and milk of your choice, and they even offer some plant-based milk options, which was great for me. I went with an Oolong milk tea and the boba barista prepared it well.” - Fast, Efficient Service:
“There’s not much more to say except that it delivers what it promises. Fast service, easy parking available in the mall, and your order is ready in no time.”
- Concerns Over Price and Consistency:
“I don’t know why this place has changed owners about three times—three different store names but the same location and products. In my opinion, the drinks are a bit expensive; starting at $6.50 or $7 is a bit much. They do have a good selection, which is fine, but if you’re looking for better value, Tastea at the end of the street offers larger portions for roughly the same price and is more accessible by car. All these boba places tend to rely on powders and flavor syrups for about 75% of their drinks anyway. Although my Wintermelon drink was quite good, I probably wouldn’t go back for that reason.” - Standout Drinks:
“The 30% Sweet Matcha Slush had just the right amount of sweetness and a strong, delicious matcha flavor! When I tried the oat milk House Special Latte at 30% sweetness, the overall flavor was a bit odd—almost like coconut.”
Conclusion
Lotus Tea Lounge provides a solid selection of boba and tea drinks with plenty of customization options, friendly service, and efficient order fulfillment.

Overall, if you’re in the area and in the mood for a refreshing milk tea or boba experience, Lotus Tea Lounge is worth a try—even if you might want to shop around for the best value.
