They were out of the taro lovers tea by the time I got there but Im sure its popular and we got there late. The person working was really nice, and recommended me something else that I actually enjoyed quite a lot. (They suggested to try the brown sugar one.) My partner and I both loved our drinks and the price was good. It was a fun time and a nice atmosphere. I hope to come back next time were in the area!

Bubbles are chewy. Matcha is creamy. Drinks made in a timely manner. Props to the girl working the register tonight. Shes been churning out drinks non stop since my 30 minutes here and people keep coming in. Even had time to make taro pancake. Best taro pancake ever! Thank you!

I just moved to this area and I was looking for local spots to try and I came across taste tea. My order was a small 🥭 smoothie, 🥭 popping bubbles and boba🧋. As I’m taking my first sip I felt like I was drinking summer. The smoothie itself was creamy yet not too heavy, just velvety enough to complement my toppings. Every sip I took made my taste buds feel happy. It was so delicious that a small wasn’t enough, so I went back and got a large! Taste tea will definitely keep receiving my coin! It’s worth every dime! Great local tea place! Highly recommend.

The best bubble tea place Ive been to in Maryland. My husband and I have tried looking (what feels like) all over maryland and this by far is the best one. Never disappointed with my order

This place has one of the best boba and smoothies. I have came here over 10 times that even i have lost count at this point. Their smoothies are well flavored and mixed so good. I usually come here and get the mango smoothie with mango jelly and mango pearl/poppers. They taste good and is a great combo. I have yet to try other flavors and things. But one thing i can say for sure is that this place is a hidden gem. Check this place out and i guarantee you that you wouldn’t be disappointed.

Definitely the best bubble tea cup in the MD area! I really like this place

Great customer service, friendly and helpful staff, reasonable prices and nice little place tucked away in Arbutus!

I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a great boba spot, amazing flavors and great prices. The staff is friendly, attentive and quick with the orders, even if they’re working alone. They definitely deserve the 5 stars!

Just got here. Literally outside writing this and it’s closed. Sucks, was visiting family and daughter wanted to try. But apparently hours aren’t accurate

There customer service is amazing!! Their drinks are good for a hot summer day!!

A perfect place for ice tea lovers. Love the Taro lover and peach iced tea! If you visit this place say hi to Mimi and Ney!

This place is amazing!!The people are nice, and the drinks are great!But...Ive come here a lot of afternoons between 12:15-30 and theyre never open. So Im assuming they probably dont actually open till 1. So...many a sad tea time ☹

My fiance and I went for the bubble tea options. Our experiences were rather lackluster compared to bubble tea establishment alternatives. Maybe their smoothies are decent but their bubble tea experience is overpriced and leaves you wanting more on quality.

Great drinks, if you a fan of bubble tea and smoothies like drinks

This bubble tea place just opened up near UMBC and I absolutely love it!!! Their panda milk tea is delicious, staff are friendly and courteous, and the overall look of the place is fantastic. Definitely recommend :)

My new favorite bubble tea shop! Lots of creative and beautiful teas to choose from, and friendly staff. I also like the red bean pancakes.

My kids love it but theyre a little expensive plus you got to tip them just to make your tea, well you dont have to but I feel put on the spot when Im paying with my credit card and it asked do I want to leave a gratuity

Great strawberry milk tea with coconut jelly and fresh boba!

Best drinks ever! ive been going here regularly for a year now. richard and his team are amazing. ive tried a variety of the drinks and ive never felt disappointed by any of the flavors. the boba is always cooked to perfection and perfectly chewy. a few of my favorites to get are the tiger milk tea and the pina colada smoothie! delicious!

Great guy that works there and amazing food and drinks

10 out of 10 is what i have to rate this place. easily my favorite bubble tea shop! i come here all the time whenever i get the chance!! its in a great spot; easy to walk to and convenient placement. the tea is so worth it. the flavors are incredible. my personal favorite is the tiger milk tea! the employees are very skilled, very kind, and hard-working. its always nice to walk in there and see friendly faces and leave with a refreshing drink! ♡

My Chai Iced Tea was delicious! Cant wait to take a ride again to get a special Tea!Thank you,!!

The service is fast and the bubble tea is always good :]]

Good tea, at some very affordable prices. Parking is a little limited sometimes, but the cafe itself is really nice. Theyve got some desserts Im looking forward to trying next time Im there, but I loved the lychee blossoming tea I had there. Will be back!

Very good boba i get the strawberry pheonix with all the poppings, but the site says their open at 11am when in reality ill go around 2pm sometimes and they will not be open i get most of them being students, but i would wish for them to change the site to be more acrute

Another amazing locally owned business :). Classic bubble tea with unique drinks, extremely courteous and friendly staff. Always a relaxing spot to relax at with friends.I hope to see them expand across MD in the future!

Always a treat when we visit Arbutus. Delicious smoothies and friendly service!

Its my go to spot for amazing bubble tea.

First time trying Taste Tea. Awesome experience, beautifully decorated!!!!

Love love love this place!!! The tea is yummy and the shop is so cute and close to UMBC! Definitely coming back

The girl Kerstin was nice when taking my order & my drink was amazing! I love Thai Tea!

My boyfriend and I wanted to buy drinks for our family and the store closes at 9 (as reported on the front window) but refused to serve us and said “we are closed” at 8:40. Disappointing.

Lovey little cafe. Staff is very nice and friendly. Service is quick. Great flavored bubble teas.

So this location in particular is my next best opinion from Kung Fu. The staff is super friendly and they are willing to give samples. You can sit play games and chat, or you can eat and mingle. It’s very clean and there are many options, they are even willing to create a drink that’s not even on the menu.

Sweet & tastee

Very pretty location, super friendly folks!!

Delicious. However it was extremely busy and there was only one girl working she was overwhelmed but did a great job for being that busy and by herself. Also they didnt have coin change.

Great little local shop! I cant have caffeine so I really appreciate that there are options here for me. I had a taro smoothie and it was excellent!

This was my first time coming, and the staff were very helpful and friendly! My Tiger Cream milk tea was so delicious and I will definitely be coming back again soon❤️

They have many options for tea like boba, pops, jelly too. Its really good and worth the price.

Yummylishous!! Love the Milk tea too!

Love to visit with my friends for a Boba tea.The taro bubble tea is awesome.

I have been to this place a handful of times, and half of them being when they are closed unexpectedly. Their drinks are alright, but I was happy to find bubble tea place near me without having to drive 20-30 minutes. After their re-opening, it went downhill for me with their new menu, they took the drinks that were actually decent away but still had a few, but I wasnt really big fan of them. If you are close by and want some decent boba, then defiantly go for it. Just dont expect them to be open, since clearly they dont care about the hours they have posted.

Great local spot with friendly staff and good variety on the menu

I liked it. Not really in to the bubbles, so the guy recommend one without. It was tasty... But that stuff is too expensive in my opinion. $5 for green tea is too much. But if you are in to this trend go to Taste Tea, youll like it.

Love this place! Best boba tea place that I have found in the Baltimore suburbs!! I would go every day, but my college wallet couldnt handle it 😂

Good niceTasty

Their bubbles are done well for a bubble tea place! Its the most important part of bubble tea.

I got the classic milk tea with black boba. Delicious! I will be back!

I like this place cuz they r always friendly and fast

Me and my sister love this place... (Really my whole fam but we go the most 😉) Great service, havent had anything here that I didnt love. I just recently tried their smoothies..... They are something from heaven, would definitely recommend!

I got my first taro slush with mango popping boba, along with a scallion pancake. It was a new experience, the staff was quite nice and the atmosphere was pleasant. What a way to spend Labor Day :)..

Daughter loves the Mango Phoenix tea.

The tea was great. The staff was very helpful & pleasant. I may have found my new favorite drink, the mango/peach tea

Honey melon milk tea!! Beauty!!

Taste Tea is a great place, from the drinks to the workers to the people that come into the shop. I love going their constantly at the very minimum of atleast once a week. The workers are friendly and super kind once you get to know them, if any of my friends or family wanted some boba I would tell them “Go to Taste Tea!” All in all its a great store and the prices are great!

Drink n service was good.. wasnt what I was looking for in a tea shop. Not cozy enough

My girlfriend and I used to love going to Taste Tea after work, but recently the parking has gotten really bad, and we dont come here often anymore. It seems like the parking got worse after the Yoga studio next door opened.Otherwise, the bubble tea and staff are great.

Really awesome bubble tea. Had the Taro Lover and Thai Iced tea and both were great. Had a lot of bubble tea from other places before and would definitely recommend this one.

Nice local spot to get a quick sweet drink. Smoothie was well blended and lime soda was delicious. Will stop by again soon.

Cute little place with friendly staff. The drinks are tasty and fun, too! (Try the coconut vanilla or the mango milk tea with boba).

Haven’t been here in a few months but I am OBSESSED with this place! The owner is such a nice person and the girl who is usually upfront remembers you and makes you feel appreciated.

The staff is very helpful answering any questions and kind. We ordered the taro milk tea without bubbles for the kids and I ordered warm oolong tea. They were both excellent! I’m looking forward to the next visit.

Wonderful tea and plenty of options if you dont like the tapioca pearls. Very cute shop too! Overall would recommend.

Got the taro lover. Tea was a wreck. The powder was not mixed so I got a mouthful of powder. Also they subbed the wrong milk. The person at the counter was nice, regardless. It was clean in there but a little hot like the AC was not on. Prices were okay.

Went there today for the First time and got the panda milk tea and the melted pudding milk tea. They were both good but the melted pudding one is delicious! 😋 very clean and staff was very helpful and friendly. Definetly going to come here often for my milk tea fix!

Not my drink of choice but not bad at all and the guy behind the counter was so nice and helped me order

Great smoothie

Love this little place! Great drinks pictured is the large black milk cap! Ive been to a lot of bubble tea places first time Ive ever had a milk cap tho! Love it

If you like bubble tea this is the place. Delicious selection.

The best boba tea shop near umbc, those milk tea got the best flavor and then price is pretty cheap! Very recommended

Good is good.

These people know my order when i walk in. Love their Taro bubble tea.Update- 7-28-2019Their lychee blossoming is great. The staff is nice and friendly. Try it with the mango popping bobba. Definitely a great way to cool down this summer.

Great place to have a bubble tea store! Its so close to campus and the tea is delicious! 10/10 would come again!

Once again. Even though they were busy with only one person it was still the best!

This place is really good, try it out!

Loved the boba tea here! The staff was super helpful and nice. I would recommend the lychee special tea.

Great place to go for bubble tea! The selection is great and it all taste delicious! 😍 I highly recommend the taro milk tea!

Very Good Tea. They are very nice and kind will come back

I loved their (i believe) Hawaiian Lemonade(i think the best ive ever had!!) However when you drive past a new local place called Taste Tea for a month like me and FINALLY go in,and you realize they dont have anything on their menu for HOT TEA made me both mad and sad so i was Smad!!!

Not the latest selection, but great drinks and a fun atmosphere

Super friendly staff! I love the coconut vanilla milk tea.

Ths is an amazing place its really homie and screams college vibes. i love it its kinda like a second home

This is my favorite bubble tea place. When they reopened after being closed for the winter I was so excited! I tend to get various fruit bubble teas with either regular boba or popping boba. The boba is always a good texture- never hard or chewy. Sometimes theyre out when I go close to closing time but I dont mind getting the popping kind instead. Staff is great and always welcoming. Its a small spot but has a good vibe and enough seating to sit and enjoy.

Super great tea! Very helpful and accommodating staff! Cute decor! Good prices!

Boba is great and theyll probably hire you if you ask

Service was great, they were so kind, it was very affordable, and the drink tasted AMAZING!!!! Definitely going back

Delicious tea! Friendly service. Snow creams are good too.

The girl working had no idea how to make a drink and nobody else was there to help. Her trainer showed up 10 mins later and told us they only had white boba.. just not impressed. The store also didnt seem the cleanest and Ive had much better teas.

The guy was very rude. Seemed like he hated his job and didn’t want to be bothered. Don’t worry, I won’t be returning.

Had a peach mango with black boba today. Amazing.

A great experience from a local college kid! Tea was great and good price, competitive to those bigger bubble tea companies :)

Nice place, but didnt enjoy the tea

Great once they unlocked the doors and let us in.

GREAT STORE THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!

Best place best tea ❤️

I came here today to get a vanilla snow cone for me dauther and they didn’t have it this is the 3rd time I came here and didn’t have it. If this item is hight demand they should keep a lot in stock. Also I called before I came to make sure they had it but didn’t. They need to up date the phone number.

Tea is good and flavorful and it is reasonably priced so it’s not so expensive or cheap!

Quality has dropped since the old days. Also multiple times i got diarrhea right after drinking boba tea from this place.

Great service from the owner! The classic bubble tea rocked:)
