Takao Tea

Takao Tea in Olathe is an absolute gem for any tea lover! The quality of their home-brewed tea is exceptional, with rich and authentic flavors, perfectly complemented by their homemade syrups. You can taste the difference, especially if you're a fan of bubble tea that tastes like tea--this place does it right.The interior design is another highlight, offering a cozy yet modern atmosphere that makes you want to linger longer. Every detail is thoughtfully curated, creating a perfect ambiance to enjoy your drink.If you're in the area, Takao Tea is a must-visit spot & this place will not disappoint!

First time here and I really enjoyed it. I was running errands in this area and came across this place. The vibe here is very chill and there is ample seating area. The tamago toast (egg salad) and green tea boba is good. They offer a bunch of different coffees and milk teas. I'm definitely coming back!

Authentic Tawainese style tea and bubble tea shop, super close to home.The inside is super cute and well decorated. Lots of space for work if you want to sit.I got the rose tea, little ice and no sugar. Very refreshing with bold notes. The medium, I think was 16oz.. but was over 5.50$--so it's a bit pricey

TL;DR: If you like your desserts and drinks not too sweet (iykyk), get 50% for fruit drinks and 75% for tea drinks and it's perfect. The fruit drinks are better than the tea drinks here. DRINKS I've been to Takao several times since it opened and I'm obsessed with their fruit drinks. The seasonal Grapefruit Green Tea is so citrusy and refreshing and perfectly balanced, and their Watermelon Latte is awesome as well. They use fruit and not just powder and it shows. The tea drinks, on the other hand, are just okay. I would much rather recommend Gocha or Ding Tea if you're looking for high quality tea like a solid Oolong Milk Tea or deep, rich black tea. The Takao Black tasted almost carmelly, like brown sugar, and it was a bit too much. You can modify the sugar on most drinks, and I would recommend doing that (lower to maybe 75%) for your first time. I find all of their drinks to be *very* sweet except, weirdly, the ones where you can't modify the sugar level. I don't know how or why that is, but it's true. TIPS AND TRICKS I love the ambiance in Takao and the staff are really friendly, but this isn't a great place to study or hang out with a group. Takao doesn't offer wifi and has virtually no outlets for charging. It also doesn't offer seating suited to a large group, and the seats tend to feel either too low or too high. Overall, a good boba addition to the area. Would definitely recommend over Tsaocaa and the other recent boba openings, and it's worth visiting if you love bubble tea.

Went on a walk and stopped by Takao Tea. This was my second time here and I wanted to give it another try. It didn't seem like the AC was working, so it was so hot inside. The boba topping is not included with the drinks and is $0.70 additional. I was disappointed in the milk teas, as they were watered down and the boba was mushy. The drinks were small considering the price you pay.

This place reminds me a Lofi beats setting. It is so peaceful and the decorations are beautiful! It was not busy when we went at 2PM on a Thursday. I got the strawberry matcha and the boba was perfectly sweet. The brown sugar latte tasted like flan and it was good, not too sweet! The customer service was excellent, the cashier asked us if we wanted a punch card and that our tenth drink will be free if we got one. I wish this place has more customers because it is truly the cutest!

Not gonna lie, kinda shocked that I was able to find such an authentic tea spot in the middle of Olathe! I'm currently living in San Diego and this is pretty on par to the quality of tea that we have here which is awesome :)My favorite thing to get is the iced HK style milk tea, 70% sweetness! If you've never had it before, I would say that it's a very very strong tea flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. Very similar to something you might get in actual Hong Kong!! The owner is super kind and from HK herself. She is great at suggesting new drinks to try!I LOVE the vibe of this tea shop, lots of open space and a good amount of seating (and a cute couch). The parking lot is fairly large so parking shouldn't be an issue. Definitely swing by if you've been looking for a good and authentic tea spot. Best one in town!!!

Takao Tea is the very first boba shop in Olathe!The drinks were delicious! I tried 3 different ones including the Pineapple Tea, Black Milk Tea, and Herbal Tea. All of them had distinct flavors and tasted great. The boba topping portions are very generous too.The shop has a very relaxing and chill ambiance. Everything is very modern and clean. It would be a good place to get some work done while treating yourself to a drink.Overall, I highly recommend! Service was quick, fast, and friendly. The workers were genuinely happy and even took the time to explain their unique menu items.

I had black milk tea with tea jelly. Surprisingly it was very good and refreshing. The tea jelly was introduced as homemade, so it has unique taste, and it's now my favorite. The milk wasn't too heavy for my stomach. The tea has special floral flavor and not too bitter eventhough I ordered no sugar. The shop is small and cute. I would definitely come back in the future

Store atmosphere is awesome, and the drinks are amazing! Would recommend Takao Tea to anybody!
