Tea Time

Excited for a bubble tea shop so close to the hospital. Service was quick. The shop has some counter seating.There were lots of options. I tried my usual default Jasmine Milk Tea w/ tapioca (confirmed it was lactose free). The drink was light but still milky, didn't taste too watery. Had a strong jasmine flavor and a mild tea bitter aftertaste. The tapioca was soft but chewy and didn't harden up. Excited to try their other flavor next time!

I've been coming to Tea Time for years-- they have SUCH good drinks. I nearly always get a Jasmine Milk Tea with regular boba and it's such a perfect light treat in the afternoon. The staff is great and so helpful and I love the decor they've had over the years. It's a charming and delightful staple of downtown Rochester.

Really helpful service, excellent boba tea, possibly my favorite ever! I asked for a specialized drink and it was no problem. Happy to recommend.

After all of our years of traveling to Mayo for care, we discovered a hidden gem. Bubble tea and smoothies with unique flavors and numerous toppings. I had honeydew and my daughter chose peach. We did not add toppings to these, but we look forward to doing so with other flavors next time. It was like drinking fresh fruit - so good!

My granddaughter was begging for Boba. Well we went and got her a Boba. She enjoyed more then she thought. She had it with black tea for the first time.

Parking sucks, can never find a place to park so we don't go often but this is the best place for a brown sugar milk drink. I'm not fond of teas with milk so this one is our go to and it's delicious! Staff is friendly and will answer any questions.

Oh I definitely made a point to come here before I tried kung fu tea and to be honest I wasn't super impressed. If you work within walking distance it's definitely an option and they do serve food but I didn't find their milk tea so good I need to come back unfortunately.

Wow, boba in Rochester. Came here with friends on a Saturday after our hike at White Water State Park. It was our first time in Rochester and was craving a nice cold drink.We were a little suspect of a 5 star boba review place in Rochester, but it turned out pretty good. The tea was solid and boba was chewy. I got the almond milk tea with boba with less sugar and thought it was pretty sweet. I probably would have thought regular sugar would be too sweet. I finished my drink in very quick. Boba is soft and chewy, but could be a little sweet. Texture is good but if they made it like honey boba or added some sort of sweetness, it would be even better. I tried the black milk tea too and it was good too.We live in cities, but if we're ever around in the area, we would definitely stop by again.Nice place across from Mayo Clinic.

Super average milk tea, tastes similar to what you'd expect from a small shop/maybe what you'd get from a pho restaurant. I actually wanted to get Starbucks but they were closed and this was right next door so I thought I'd give it a try. Rounding up prices, it's about $4 for small and $5 for a large and includes 1 topping free of charge. Honestly, should've taken the extra effort and just drove 5 minutes away. Nothing special but staff were friendly. They have lunch specials for $6.99 though if you work in the area.

I seriously did not expect to find boba in Rochester. In fact, I am inclined to say that this may be the only place that has it in all of Rochester?I actually noticed this shop several months ago, but I didn't go in because it was much too cold for me to even consider iced drinks at the time. Now that it's warmer, I decided to stop in since I had some business to take care of at Avis next door.The menu isn't so grand when compared to some other shops, but adequate enough. Majority of the time, I drink any type of iced tea unsweetened when it's offered. But on that day for whatever reason, I got the Kumquot Lemon Green Tea with the "less" sweetness level, and it was sweet. Crazy sweet. On top of that, I got strawberry popping boba when I didn't ask for it, so that took the crazy sweetness to a whole different level. I think it was a misunderstanding when I asked what it was.Not sure if I'd go back again, but, I sincerely hope that this business continues to prosper. The folks of Downtown Rochester seem to appreciate Tea Time being there.
