Probably one of the best boba places in SA. Their milk teas and their boba are pretty good! It’s not like Houston’s but I mean how can you even compare? The only downfall is that it is so dang far from everything! Luckily I live close by which is bad for my wallet and my health. I am trying to slowly taper myself off milk tea drinks(they are just too good). The milk teas are in no way bland nor have too much ice and their boba typically has the right consistency — not too soggy and not too hard all while being sweet. Even their blended milk teas are yummy. I have tried their milk tea boba, blended mango, blended strawberry, red bean, thai iced tea boba which all are wonderful! I have been loving their Oreo milk tea recently– which I usually always get plain milk tea. But this Oreo milk tea is something you have to try!!! I know the drive might be far for some but you should try it!

I ordered the Matcha Green Tea Frappé with Whip Cream. The drink is very pretty to look at but lacks of flavor. Mine does not have any taste of tea at all. It also gives you a powdering after taste in your mouth. Nice place and friendly fast service though.

I love this place! Quick, clean, and delicious. I just wished they opened a little earlier so I can grab one on the way to work.

Boba tea heaven! I’m obsessed. SO many flavors, so many possibilities! The selection is great and everything tastes great too. The tapioca is the right texture and the right flavor! Other places have had sub-par tapioca which ruin the point/experience of your boba drink. You can also add tapioca to anything, your iced coffe, smoothie, tea drink and on and on. Flavors range from traditional cream tea to chocolate/avocado something blend. Everyone’s tastes are covered. They also have what they call«sinkers» which are jellyed flavored add ins, like coffee, strawberry, lychee. So if you don’t want the typical tapioca, there are options there too. I have never had bad service here. My drink almost always come out in a reasonable amount of time, very busy times included. They have a punch card, 10 drinks=1 free! The store has a good amount of seating. It’s clean and looks nice. If you don’t like your flavor just say so and they will make you something else! Anytime you want boba keep this place at the top of your list!

STILL my favorite place. See previous review. I have yet to have a bad cream blend drink here and as always– I recommend the Strawberries & Mango Cream blend.(Pictures!). This place is always consistent unlike some of the other places I’ve been to– no matter who’s there. Keep it up guys!

I want to go here everyday! Sometimes all I can think about are their delicious cream tapioca matcha drinks. If I’m not thinking about the matcha drink then I’m thinking of one of the other hundreds of flavors they have. With their large selection of drinks, you are sure to find the flavor you are looking for. Red Bean, Matcha Green Tea, Durian, Banana, Avocado, Taro. so many tasty choices! The consistency of the tapioca balls are perfect and the drinks are the perfect amount of sweetness. This place has got down the calculations for each ingredient needed. They have even perfected the swirl methods of the whip cream. The staff here are the friendliest people. You can tell they enjoy working here and love the drinks themselves. This is a great place to hang out with friends and family. The prices are great, ranging from $ 3-$ 4. I can’t believe I’m writing this down, I should be at Tealicious right now! If you have never tried bubble tea before or are a fan of bubble tea then I recommend you give Tealicious a try!

I had a great experience on my first visit. For a first time customer, the choices are a bit overwhelming so I just kept it simple and got a strawberry banana smoothy. I had them hold the tapioca balls. My friend that I was with opted into the tapioca balls. About 2 sips into her drink, She felt the tapioca balls were too much to bear. The drinks are good. They had board games you can play and hangout if you like. Bring some friends and sit on the couches. Really chill environment. Service was helpful when I didn’t know what to try.

Being from California, I’ve had the Crème de la crème of boba drinks and finding a decent boba shop in San Antonio has been a challenge but I think that search has come to an end with tealicious café! The boba is the right texture and teas are decent but their cream overpowers the actual tea flavor. But overall, I’d come back!

First time here and was not disappointed. This place reminds me of my favorite tea place back in Austin, Teaopica Lounge. So if you have been there then you would like this place. I usually stick to the basic flavors like coffee, Thai tea, or avocado but I decided to try something new. I ordered the Avocado Coffee and it was surprisingly good. It’s more coffee flavor with a hint of avocado instead of the other way around like the girl who worked there said it would taste. The smoothie was perfectly blended and the boba was cooked just right. I did notice that the tapioca is a little smaller than other boba places but no big deal. It’s still taste the same just something I noticed. The place is farther up north so I can’t go there as often as I would like or I would be there two to three times a week.

Tons of drinks to choose from and extras to add. I didn’t see a lot of real fruit drinks but the ones I had were still good. It’s pretty cheap and they even have rewards cards if you go often enough.

You know why I like boba teas and teas with other sinkers? Its like a drink with a nice chewy snack! What could be wrong with that. This is a really solid boba place in San Antonio. I have truly have had nothing but great boba here, no matter what flavor I get. My personal favorite fresh Taro is always well made, durian is always wonderfully funky, yet delicious(that is probably the smell you get when you want into this place… like a cross between ripened cheese and… kerosene?) and an acquired taste. All the simple teas with jellies and boba make for seriously good tea drinking! And the choices this place has are amazing. If you cannot find a flavor for you, you are just too darn picky a person. Sometimes there is a crowd there, but they whip these things out fast… and you can always while away time playing a board game to escape the grasp of boredom while you are waiting. Oh …and they can make all the drinks sugar free! Just ask, and you shall receive!

Bubble tea shops are rare in San Antonio and to find a good one is even rarer. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve had amazing, cheap bubble tea in other places, but I just can’t bring myself to enjoy this café. I’ve been here a couple of times due to it’s proximity near HEB. This café has a weird smell to me every time I enter. I can taste all the powder and non-authentic ingredients used for my drink and I can honestly never finish half of it before throwing it away. There’s a large selection of teas to choose from, the staff is nice, there’s free wifi, and the place is clean. But none of that lures me into returning. It doesn’t help that the drinks are pricey.

OMG this place is the bomb! The teas are amazing and so good! When you order it does t take long for you to get your drink my favorite drink it the green tea with cream and tapioca, if you like bubble tea. You will like this place, will be coming here a lot more.

A lot of my friends were raving about bubble tea from Tealicious so I drove a bit out of the way to get some. It’s located next to the HEB plus and there are lots of shops in the area so you can go grocery shopping with a bubble tea in hand(is there a better way to go grocery shopping?). The interior is bright and there was a fun assortment of chairs to sit in — hard, modern plastic ones(like at froyo places) and soft, comfy ones. As expected of Bubble tea places, the menu was daunting. So much to choose from! I got my standby, the taro cream tea with tapioca. For fun I added some herbal jellies. They have soooooo many jellies. I like that they put the jellies in jars out front so you can see them. I also got some macarons. They sell madeleine cookies and candy bars too but they are pretty generic so I didn’t get them. I didn’t have to wait long for my drink even though there were several customers in front of me. The staff are nice enough but not overwhelmingly friendly. My taro bubble tea was ok. A little too creamy for my tastes. The tapioca and herbal jelly were pretty spot on. Extremely soft. If I go back I will definitely ask for extra jellies and tapioca. I probably won’t though because it is a little out of the way. And I am devoted to Boba-ology. If you live in the area I would definitely check it out.

THEBESTBUBBLETEA I HAVEEVERHAD. It’s delicious from the tapioca balls to the actual drink itself. What makes this bubble tea better than the rest is the how iced smooth and creamy it is. Also I love the fact that I have she option of getting it with soy milk. The options are endless. It’s overwhelming in the best way possible. I absolutely love all the crazy combinations they come up with. I can’t wait to go back and try something new. The juices look fantastic as well. I’ve only gotten a creamy bubble tea. I had taro with coconut and it was to die for. Literally didn’t want my drink to ever end. I wanted to savor it but wanted to drink it at the right pace because the smoothness of the ice was just too awesome. I sound crazy right? But it really was just that kind of experience! Tealicious really does have something special going on! If you haven’t guessed it by now, I HIGHLY recommend this place!!!

Good selection of teas, blenders and juices. This place is central for college students to hang out. I would recommend the crazy drink it has a bit of everything in it. I prefer this for being lactose intolerant it doesn’t contain milk. The only bad thing about this place is that they close so early on weekends. Students can’t really stay here to study past 10. I wished they would open later on weekends… it would bring them more business.

Man. Even before writing this review, I want to go right now to get a bubble tea! I got a coconut black tea with cream with tapioca. It was so fresh, so rich, SOSOSO divine. I think this might be the first time I have felt this way about a bubble tea. The tapioca were perfectly soft, fluffy, not too chewy. Also tried their macaroons. Got a pistachio and a lemon. Not the best I’ve ever had but they are decently yummy. Service is friendly and fast. I love that they do label the drinks so that you can’t mix them up in a group. The café itself is really cute with a lot of different chairs for lounging and chatting while enjoying the bubble tea. Anyway, ABSOLUTELY recommend Tealicious for first-timers and long time boba lovers!

Since opening day this location has never failed to quench my thirst with its variety of beverages. I have a deep passion for bubble tea as it reminds me of my childhood. The owners Brian and Lynn along with their staff are always kind and have never failed to not meet the standards of their customers. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice hot(has to be requested hot) or cold drink. Give it a try and I’m sure your experience will be as good as mine! Second location on Marbach!

Hands down, best coffee blended boba i have ever had(hazelnut coffee to be exact)!!! It had a strong coffee flavor, and definitely did not taste like they use powder, but instead, real coffee. The decoration and design of the store were nice and cozy. They truly deserve my 5 stars rating for making me so happy with such a good coffee drinks, and very decent boba balls, n last but not least, I learned and played my very first(and 2 more after that lol) chess game there!!!
