Sharetea Columbus

Large consistent chain. Pricing is better than other places and size also seems larger. Pearl milk tea flavor seemed stronger than the taro flavored tea.Decor is basic and less cutesy than other bubble tea joints, so not really a "hanging out" kind of place. More of a get your tea and go joint.I do like the choice to adjust sweetness and amount of ice in your drink, and it doesn't seem to change the amount of drink you get.

Great place to spend some time with your friends over a bubble tea. The service is quick, and the teas taste good. They have some unique combinations of teas that I haven't seen in columbus.

My family and I had a craving for a boba drink and the nearest was Sharetea off Sawmill Road by Martin St. My test of a boba place is the grapefruit tea. My wife and my twins got their drinks too. Our drinks were fine. I just don't think they're worth the $7+ price.....especially when it's half ice cubes.

Terrible TERRIBLE customer service. Walked in and they looked at me like I was a creature not from earth that snuck on earth. No hello, just blank stares. Smelled terrible. Took 3 sips of my Oreo blended with pearls and it was DISGUSTING. The boba was the nastiest thing ever and it left my stomach hurting really bad. Do not go here.

I love how the owner responds to negative reviews, it's quite entertaining! I recently stopped by to order some drinks at this place (not my first time, but haven't in months). I didn't receive a greeting when I walked in, as many others mentioned in their reviews, but I'm from NY so I'm used to poor customer service. I went straight to the kiosk to order. For the milk green tea, there was no option to add toppings even though the menu clearly stated that toppings could be added for 75 cents. I didn't mind paying extra, I just really wanted the topping. I ended up choosing the pearl milk green tea which was 75 cents more (cost of a topping) and requested mini pearls. For the peach green tea, I didn't like the aiyu jelly so I asked for aloe instead. The worker informed me that substitutions were not allowed so I asked if I could pay extra to add the toppings I wanted to both drinks, but unfortunately, that wasn't allowed either. I asked if I could user eh classic milk green tea and pay extra for the topping and she said it's a preset and the drinks can only come the way they are that's why there was no option on the kiosk. I found this strange because I've been able to do this in the past at this location and other Sharetea locations (they just charge me the 75 cent manually). The owner's response to another review also stated that topping modifications were allowed if you paid extra. I ultimately decided to go without toppings for the green tea, and settled for regular pearls in the milk tea. The whole time the worker told me that I could only get the green tea WITH the aiyu jelly and an additional topping but I couldn't remove the jelly even if I paid, and that's a management decision. Since the owner loves reviewing the camera, please do. I asked if I could pay extra multiple times (my exact words were I don't mind paying extra) and asked why, each time I was told it was management and drinks were preset even with paying. I didn't give them a hard time at all and opted for no aiyu jelly completely and stayed with the classic pearls instead of mini pearls. Being Taiwanese, I've visited Sharetea locations in Taiwan and North America, and I have never encountered this type of issue before. Asian hospitality tends to be more accommodating, so it was surprising to experience such inflexibility at this particular location. It's not a critique of the entire store chain, just this specific location.

Unfortunately, the few other experiences I've had here since my last review have been similar: the tea is brewed too strongly/for too long, resulting in very drying, borderline metallic tea. Tried the mango milk tea today to try something new, and it was nothing special, very light mango taste. I am pretty sensitive to caffeine, but it's not normal for me to shake as much as I did and get a headache from drinking a fourth of the drink. TMI but this last drink ran right through me. It's a laidback place to hang out with friends, but I don't really recommend it and will definitely not be going out of my way to come back.

I was excited to try this place. The drinks were good, but nothing extraordinary. The service, however, was nonexistent. There was no human touch and the 5/6 people working had no time to acknowledge your presence. After walking in, I looked around on how to order. There are 2 kiosks to order from and 1 was broken. I found it odd that the top 10 drinks were not highlighted to order on the kiosk. I saw it later after I already made my order, because the printed chart was behind one of the kiosks, making it hidden.There were not many people when we walked in, but it still took 20 minutes to get our drinks. The place got even busier after we placed our order. When our order number was called our entire order was not there. Only one of the two drinks were there. We ended up waiting around for the second drink, but saw several others getting their full orders while we still waited on our's. Another 5 minutes later we got the second drink of our order. I had to ask to confirm it is, because they did not announce the order number again.As for the drinks, we got taro milk tea with pearls and lychee jelly and the qq happy family milk tea. It was nice you can adjust the ice and sweetness. We both got 80% sweetness and less ice, which was perfect. I always get taro milk, but I enjoyed the qq happy family drink. For the price point, I found the whole experience from placing our order to getting it chaotic and time consuming. To me it is not worth going again, as I have had no issues ordering at other boba places and at least they are able to talk to their customers.

Refreshing and not too sweet! The sizes of their drinks are also so generous :') Cute clean store and never too crowded

Sharetea is a chain. I'm actually surprised it took so long to come to Columbus. I've been going for a long time to the location in Louisville, KY.Had to stop by since I was close by at Panera.It wasn't all that busy for a very hot and humid Saturday close to 2:30. A handful of people were in here, but not as busy as the one I go to back home where I usually see tons of people standing around outside and inside the place.It was nice and cool in there. It's a long elongated room. And the register is towards the back of the room.Shockingly, the menu has all the calories listed. WOW. I couldn't believe that just a regular black milk tea had 400 calories! I decided to opt for a fruit tea instead.I asked the gal at the register which fruit tea she liked and she recommended any of the kiwi aiyu jelly fruit teas. One option has peach in it, so I chose that and asked for it to be made with green tea. Refreshing! And light!At 50% sweetness, it was too sweet for me. I'll have to stick with 25% next time.Staff was friendly and I appreciated the selection of pop music in the background. You can order online to skip the line if you're not sure if it'll be busy!I'm sure I'll be back since this is the closest bubble tea spot to me!

I never leave reviews but I had to. As someone who used to work at a bubble tea shop, cleanliness is incredibly important. I came in right when the store opened and there was trash all over the ground underneath the tables and it didn't seem like they had cleaned the tops of the tables. I then went to the bathroom and it was also pretty gross. I understand a place looking like that after it's been open for a bit, however the state of the store was gross upon opening. I love their tea and unfortunately had to leave because I couldn't imagine myself finishing my finals in an unsanitary shop :(
