Sencha Tea Bar

This place has been serving the Mac Groveland crowd forever. For the longest time, this was the only place to get bubble tea in this part of town and I was an off and on regular. Lately though, since the tea source is no longer in Highland, here is where I go for my teas. See that "Sencha" book in my pics? That's their tea bible. It has so many teas. Want to know how to steep the teas? They make it easy! Each label talks about the teas and how they taste and if there are added benefits. Plus, it tells you how you should steep them. I tried the mushroom today. Earthy and chocolaty and perfect on this chilly afternoon. The others have caffeine so I will be trying one of those, after I have my morning coffee of course. Plus they support local artists. Artwork, always changing, hangs from the walls of this place for you to purchase and bring home. A cozy little campus feeling place.Parking can be tricky but something usually opens up.

Wizzards witchcraft and hogwarts themed tea! Amazing little place off grand east street parking. Cozy little spot for tea and getting your work done! First timer of the experience called boba. As it's my ,first time, I was walk-through a step-by-step to make my own personal drink from the ingredients and different tea'sI decided to fill my cup with tapioca and mangos. I went with a little bit of lemon to add to citrus to the tea. I chose a black tea that had a hint of peach in it.Overall, I made an Arnold Palmer and it was the best accident I could do.As this is my first time I appreciated them explaining what the different flavors were or different textures because I feel like it's a little overwhelming not ever trying anything! So I'm extremely grateful for that experience! Overall, I'm excited to try more and different variations of the tea's and there is no better host then Sencha! Go take a class or ask for an experience because the staff loves to help elevate your experience!

Just visited this Sencha location for the first time because I wanted to check out the Harry Potter themed drinks that they are offering. I'm a huge HP fan and the drinks and vibe did not disappoint.The whole cafe is filled with Harry Potter memorabilia and themed food in the case. I loved how the staff went the extra mile. It's a great way to get people to come in for bubble tea in the winter !I tried the Butterbeer and it's very comparable to the Universal Studios Butterbeer drink, if not even better. It was sooo delicious. Even the whipped cream had a slight caramel taste. I absolutely loved it. I got mine frozen without bubbles but you have the option to add any toppings you wish. Definitely tempted to come again and try some of their other flavors.

They have some really nice boba drinks to choose from! This place is nice and quirky... plenty of room to sit around and enjoy your drinks with friends... they do have few cookies and sweet options to choose from... I've tried their brown sugar boba and was nice had great flavour... they do not have dedicated parking but there's street parking available.

I love this Sencha location, it's super cozy and they always have cute little themed events going on, such as the Harry Potter pop up! Damla is so knowledgeable about teas and I love that everything is seasonal. Lots of restaurants nearby too to grab lunch with friends after.

4.5/5I was here for an event and chose to continue my tea experience afterwards. I ordered a cooler/blended matcha drink with tapioca pearls mostly because most of their drinks have lactose in them which I couldn't opt out of - huge bummer. The cooler was OK, next time I'll just stick to tea and add dairy free milk. They were having a Harry Potter theme while I was there which I loved but again, I sadly couldn't partake in the Butter Beer since I couldn't omit the dairy. They sell little toys and tchotchkes which I loved. I picked up a Sanrio Pochacco bubble tea plush which I am obsessed with ($10). I also got two bulk teas to take home: Mushroom hero and Lavender Earl Grey - it's very quant! I haven't tried the mushroom yet.

This place always has fun pop ups happening throughout the year and I was so excited to see that they were having a Harry Potter event. There were so many different themed drinks to try but of course I had to get the famous butterbeer with tapioca pearls. The drink was VERY sweet but still good - it tasted very similar to actual butterbeer from the universal parks! Since it is quite busy during these pop up events, the line can get a bit long. I wish there was more space for a line to form because it was confusing once we got into the shop.

Came here for the Harry Potter drinks! Had a great time! A few timings to make the experience better! Would love to hear Harry Potter music fill the store!! Second, the guy working there non stopped out loud just talked trash about everything in his life and was such a buzz kill. He would be complaining to his co worker out loud and then come to the register to take an order and go right back to talking ish. Major mood killer when trying to enjoy drinks.

Got the frozen taro bubble tea. Wasn't overly sweet and good flavor. Solid bubble tea just wish it had smoother texture!

Great service and affordable price. Lots of space to chat and do homework. Seems like a great little spot to hang out with friends.
