Pure Tea

I like to make a stop here occasionally when I grocery shop upstairs in the marketplace and so far, all of the drinks that I've gotten have been good! The service is fairly quick, although not the friendliest compared to other boba spots. My favorite is the lychee smoothie with lychee jelly - so refreshing!

I was surprised that this place had good boba pearls! Fresh milk tea was a little watery to my liking

Good service, plenty of variety of drinks. It's a small place so when it's busy there's a hard place to find to stand and wait for your drink.

Pure Tea can be found inside the new 88 Marketplace that opened up in the Chinatown area - you make your way up the stairs to your left, and it's to your right.Their menu offers fresh milk and class milk teas, fresh brew teas, fruit teas, matcha, espresso coffee, and smoothies. You can also add various toppings, such as tapioca pearls, lychee jelly, grass jelly, tapioca sago, red beans, crystal boba, and/or cheese mousse.I loved their cute drawings on their menu!I had the Kumquat Lemon Green Tea, with light ice, 100% sweetness, with no toppings - there was confusion of the requested sweetness level, which they were able remediate quickly. The drink did have more ice than I expected, but the tea was prepared well - it was steeped well, and it had a nice citrus-y taste from the kumquat and the lemon. Very refreshing!Staff were efficient. The place could be cooled better, as it was a little musty and humid.There are only a handful of counter seating, but this place is more of a to-go set-up. Parking in the alley lot.+Kumquat Lemon Green Tea+check for customizations+handful of counter seating+located inside the 88 Marketplace, up the stairs +parking in the alley lot

Cute little boba spot found inside the 88 marketplace. I got a large brown sugar milk tea. I want to note that if you want milk tea the only size available is large and it comes with tapioca pearls (no additional charge). The milk tea was one of the best I've tasted. It's super creamy and not overly sweet. I believe you can also adjust ice and sweetness level, but I just got mine standard.

This is a convenient Asian teahouse and dessert place located in the lower level of the 88 Marketplace mall. It's a great location for this growingly busy place, and they have a pretty big beverage menu. We had a fresh egg puff waffle and a couple of refreshing Osmanthus milk teas on this stop. I ding'ed them a star only because their A/C wasn't working on a hot and humid morning, but the rest of the lower level of the mall was fine.

The teas I've had have always tasted authentic and "pure." I like to get the teas and add cheese foam. I can't help but order their drinks with brown rice or buckwheat bc it's not as common at other places. You can order drinks hot or cold! Prices are comparable to other boba shops though they have a 3% credit card fee if your order is under $10 (which would require ordering at least two items)! It's a small location so not really a hang out spot but convenient if you're just trying to grab and go since there's a parking lot or you can shop at 88 Marketplace while you're there or get a bite to eat at one of the local restaurants.

I've been here so many times since they opened, I can't keep count anymore (some pics are blurry cus they are screenshots from videos). Their drinks are LEGIT!I have tried their hot drinks, their cold drinks, teas, smoothies, etc., but my favorite of them all is the Osmanthus Fresh Milk Tea with Cheese Mousse. It is perfection. If you like your milk tea to be slightly floral, not too sweet/heavy, and/ or fragrant, please give this one a try. In my opinion, the cheese mousse adds so much more flavor to the drink too. If you're on the fence about "cheese mousse" it just tastes similar to salted caramel, but more creamy. All their other drinks are pretty solid too. They use real ingredients and not packets/ powder like some other places. I would say their smoothies are artificial flavoring though, so if you want fresh fruit smoothies, go somewhere else. However, if you're looking for something quick, yet deliciously refreshing, Pure Tea's the spot to hit up! P.S. They have a free parking lot, a Chinese marketplace, and a food court on the upper level of the same building.

I was looking for boba and some snacks, and found this 88 Market on Yelp. Pure Tea is on the first floor of the market. There is a good variety of drinks, and also different flavors of egg waffles on the menu. I tried the Osmanthus Fresh Milk Tea with cheese foam. It has a very strong osmanthus flavor, and I don't think the drink needs the cheese foam (additional $1). My group like the Taro Fresh Milk with Sago, Oreo Crunch Smoothie and Americano they got also.

Located inside the huge building that contains several businesses such as the Holi Steakhouse, Qiao Lin Hot Pot, and the 88 Marketplace, this boba tea spot is nestled in a small but noticeable space before you wake up the stairs to the 88 Marketplace. The girl greeted us, took our order, and gave it to us shortly. We got a 25% sugar and less ice boba drink and we both agreed it was pretty good and didn't taste like the fake powder-added boba tea drinks that often times many boba places do. Anyways, a quick stop for a drink here, but was worth it in my opinion. There's also plenty of parking here even when it's really full. Just an FYI.
