Absolutely adorable restaurant!! I visited when they had the dining area closed, but it was so cute and inviting. I cant wait to go back when dining-in gas am option!I got a brown cow bubble tea which was recommended by the cashier, who was also super nice!! Its so delicious!!! The bubbles are PERFECT!!! the tea and mild were cold, with ice, and the bubbles were still soft and chewy... None of those hard and crumbly bubbles. So delicious and so perfect!! Glad I stopped in!! Ill definitely be back!

I happened upon this cute place and had no idea what it was. The cashier very patiently explained what they had to offer. I gave the sticky rice and mango a try, it was very sweet… a little too sweet for me, but still delicious.This past week, I took a visiting friend there for carry-out. We each got the Shrimp Not your Mamas Rama…. It was delicious. The summer rolls and peanut sauce, very good, (next time I’m trying the spring rolls) and we both ended with the sticky rice mango. I feel a bit guilty eating so much sugar, but I must say, I would not hesitate to bring a friend there again. I love this place and look forwards to stopping in again soon!Thank you!

The drinks are great and affordable ... BUT .... DO NOT BUY THE SPRING ROLLS because they are NOT good.

The lavender boba tea is to die for, it taste like melted Salt and Straw lavender honey ice cream. 😋😋😋 I will be back again shortly.

Staff was super nice and the tea was delicious! So nice to find boba nearby. Located right by the Braddock metro, easy to walk to, good service. Highly recommend serendipitea. Salty pomade was slightly more salty than we were prepared for but still super tasty.

Strawberry Milk tea was watery and low on flavor. Not up to my standard of quality milk tea at all. You can do better elsewhere.

Spill The Tea is a small bubble tea shop near the Braddock Road Metro. Theres street parking right in the front. I went on a Tuesday evening during the pandemic and there wasnt a wait. Masked and keeping a safe distance, I ordered a original bubble milk. They asked my sweet preference and made it within one minute. Service was friendly and my drink was tasty. However, the price tag was $7.25! Ive never paid that much for bubble tea in the Washington, D.C. area!

The salty lemonade drink was horrendous. The lemonade didn’t taste salty it tasted watery. Never coming here ever again. Do not recommend.

Got a mangonificent and brown cow. To me, the tea was underwhelming. Mangonificent tasted more of peach than mango, but it was alright. Brown Cow was not sugary enough and the tea flavor tasted like is was some low quality lipton. And the boba for both was pretty flavorless. Okay on the chew, not great, but totally flavorless. Was gonna try the mango sticky rice but after the lackluster drinks I dont think Ill be back.

Guys are slower than normal, waiting here for nothing. I would give them 0 zero stars. The tea doesn’t worth an hour wait.

Super friendly staff. Best boba in town with lactose free milk and almond milk options. Pricing is on par with other places.

I love this store! They have a ton of different flavors and toppings, and there’s something there for anyone. The prices are a little higher than, say, Starbucks, but it’s worth it and that’s just how it is in this area. The service has always been phenomenal and I love supporting the local business!

Love this cute little bubble tea place. Dashed in here on my way to Organic Honey Care spa. I tried the matcha milk tea and it was delicious. Bubble was soft and yummy. Staff was so nice and welcoming. Definitely coming back! A much needed bubble tea shop in the area.

Great service, bubble tea, and food. The chicken banh mi is absolutely delicious. Love that you can customize the amount of sugar in your bubble tea- 25% is the perfect amount of sweetness for me.

Love this place. Andy and I had a passion fruit and spill the tea bubble tea. Tasty. Cozy, charming atmosphere. Very clean. I love clean... They also serve delicious pho, beef stew, spring rolls all of which are delicious. Haven’t tried their pastries, but I’m sure they are delicious. The owners and staff are delightful. So happy they are in the neighborhood.

Can I give a negative star? I got the Sunset in July and it is just water. I asked for a slushy and it came back as flavorless water with boba and jelly. The strawberry one was slightly better, but I wont return. You can get much better bubble tea in Eden Center.

Love this place. I am working my way thru the menu. The staff is very nice and so helpful! You can adjust the sweetness level. Train to Bangkok and the signature Spill the Tea are my faves so far.

I just stopped by and had the Thai Milk Tea. The service was so friendly! The tea was also great! I can’t wait to see them grow and expand their selections. It’s the perfect place to grab a fun, quick drink or snack next to the Braddock Road Metro. I will definitely be back!

Review №35

I really want to give them 5 stars, but I think they still need to work out their actual boba. The tea itself is great. They have plenty of flavors and the flavors are balanced and nothing ever seems diluted. My only problem is with their boba. They just dont taste like anything, no flavor at all. Honestly, Ive never experienced anything like that with boba tea before. Normally there is a slight honey flavor, or some sweetness, but Ive never gotten that with Spill the Tea boba. The boba are just kind of ehh.

Had a delicious matcha milk tea with boba from Spill the Tea. I appreciate that you could specify level of sweetness and I went with 25% and it was perfect. Also I love that it is non dairy since I need to avoid lactose.

Love this place! Some favorite menu items are the Ooh La La oolong milk tea with black boba paired with fresh summer rolls. It is to the point that they know my order simply by walking in.Clean space (very important) with a charming atmosphere. The owners and staff are delightful which is part of the reason I really enjoy this neighborhood gem. Thank you!

Loved the tea selection here - will definitely be back for the Vietnamese iced coffee! There is a small (free) parking garage right behind this place, or you can parallel park on the street. Very Instagram-friendly - bring your friends and take lots of pictures!

Review №51

I did not had a good 1st-time experience with this tea establishment.The DoorDash driver did his job very well, but the employees at Spill the Tea did not.1) I specified thru the app that I wanted 5 straws, but was provided with only 4.2) Aside from the 1 Taro, I ordered 1 Brown Cow and 2 Oolong, so I was surprised that the preparer(s) did not label the teas. Whenever I was in NY, my order with multiple teas always got labeled! I highly doubt the preparer(s) included the Brown Cow because none of the 3 non-Taro teas tasted like Brown Cow. As a matter of fact, I believe that what should have been the Brown Cow was replaced with Oolong!On the upside, Spill the Tea did follow my instruction to reduce the sugar content.Its unfortunate that I have to wait for my next visit to NY for satisfactory milk tea service.

It barely resembled bubble tea in that it was basically watered down drinks with not so very good bubbles. I got the Thai tea with bubbles and was disappointed to say the least.
