ROYALTEA Orlando

I love boba tea but I tend to avoid milk products for my own diary restrictions and they have wonderful sweet and citrusy tea options that aren’t made with milk that are lovely here! The max I’ve waited for my tea on a busy day was maybe 10 minutes as well, highly recommend!

Royal Tea is my new go to spot for boba in Orlando. I tried their matcha crème brûlée with boba and it was amazing. The drink was milky and sweet with a perfect balance of matcha flavor. If you are looking for a good matcha boba drink this is the place to go. I like that they let you choose your sweetness level, so you can do 25 percent, 50 percent, or more depending on your taste. They also have other great options like mango tea and original milk tea with a chai twist. The atmosphere is cozy and they have plenty of indoor seating, which makes it a nice place to relax. The service is also very polite and they will even let you change your drink if you do not like it.

I’ve been here a few times now and while the drinks I've had have been good, the service I’ve had every time has been horrible. Each time I’ve been, it’s been the same girl working and the time I went today was so bad that my partner asked if we did something wrong. Literally the middle of the day, no where close to closing time, and we were the only ones in the shop, and she stormed out of the back a few minutes after we walked in and looked annoyed that we were in there.

Super delicious, and exactly what I wanted. Not too sweet. They had brown sugar milk tea which isn’t on the main menu. It’s my favorite. Thank you!

A must go. I stop here every time I head to Orlando. The tea here is amazing! The royal fruit tea is my absolute favorite. The staff is super friendly. The store is beautiful and looks very clean. There is always a line, but the line moves very fast. The decor is very simple with clean lines. Parking is crazy, but worth the wait. They have w buzzer to let you know your order is ready.

Very quaint, but busy location. I was welcomed and greeted with a friendly smile. The cashier was patient and helpful, being that it was my first time there. The tea was made quickly, and it was very tasty.

It’s really a shame that I have to leave this kind of review for one of my favorite places. After going to your location as a local for several years, I just brought a friend in around 9:30-9:40 today and had the worst experience with one of your staff members. She was rude, refused to make many of the drinks because she had allready begun cleaning up and despite us being very kind and thanking her for making our drinks she was repeatedly RUDE and told us “she had no choice” but to serve us. I’m so disappointed I brought my friend here and I’ve never had this experience at your store before. After getting our drinks we again thanked her and she simply stormed off into the back. I can not believe paying customers are treated this way. I tried to contact management via facebook and I tried to call but have not gotten any response.

Food quality: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 4/5 First time trying RoyalTea out and got the Royal Bubble Tea. The staff was nice and the cafe was clean. I wish that there was a better indicator of which drink were dairy vs non-dairy and also what ingredients make up the drink. The menu board was pretty plain and if you wanted more detail, you have to ask for each drink. The boba was not great. Texture was fine, but it was bland and had no taste. Not sure if they forgot to soak the boba in sugar, but it was not flavorful at all. The tea itself was ok, not a very strong tea flavor. That might have just been an off day, but probably won’t be going back.

The downtown Orlando, Florida location of Royaltea has closed. This is pretty sad, but asa consolation of sorts, their Waterford Lakes location over on the east side of Orlando is still open. This location, though small, was always a pleasant enough place to visit. The service was friendly and their drinks were good. I shall miss here, but I do wish the best for all involved.

We rode Royal Three and Hot Rose pu'er and we loved it very much. Also the lady was very nice and friendly. I recommend them.

Royal Tea is my new go to spot for boba in Orlando. I tried their matcha crème brûlée with boba and it was amazing. The drink was milky and sweet with a perfect balance of matcha flavor. If you are looking for a good matcha boba drink this is the place to go. Matcha drink was so good me and my 4 friends got 4 orders of the it! I like that they let you choose your sweetness level, so you can do 25 percent, 50 percent, or more depending on your taste. They also have other great options like mango tea and original milk tea with a chai twist. The atmosphere is cozy and they have plenty of indoor seating, which makes it a nice place to relax. The service is also very polite and they will even let you change your drink if you do not like it.

I got the royal fruit tea this visit with 50% sugar. It tasted okay, but the tea flavor wasn't very strong and had a slight bitter taste, probably from the rind of the lime, lemon, orange, and grapefruit. I was looking for something more refreshing so I opted for the fruit tea, but will stick with the royal three or mousse milk tea next time.

Needed a matcha to wake me up. This was good. It was a very quick turnaround. At 11 am, there was definitely no people.

This is the best boba in Orlando. The service is really nice they help you walk through the menu and are very courteous. They ambiance is great as well, but I wish there was more space to sit and talk

On my second visit I give this place a 4, the first round was a 2 star at best. The first time I had the caffe latte with the whipped mousse. It was gross to say the least. I'm not a person who likes super sugary drinks (I usually get 50% sweetness when I order boba) I got regular sweetness this round and the drink didn't taste like there was any sugar at all. To make it worse, the mousse on top was salty and had a weird texture. Not sure why, but they also put matcha powder on top of the mousse, seems random to me and I'm someone who loves matcha lol. My friend got the royal three and was gracious enough to share the deliciousness with me. Loved that one a lot! There are better boba shops around Orlando including within walking distance so this one is a skip for me. The staff is friendly and the store is clean so that is a plus.

I love this place. They are always consistent with the drinks. You can change the level of sweetness and ice. The menus will inform you on all the ingredients in each item so you will always know what it is in it. I will say they add something extra that I can't replicate so that's why I always go back because it's wonderful. My husband can't wait to go back for when they have the peppermint version of black milk tea. They are always friendly and helpful when you ask.

I was hoping to get masala chai considering it's a tea place but they don't have it here. Their tea selection is actually quite limited. I ended up just getting a creme brulee which was quite disappointing. The taste was fine but for $6 I was expecting something more, instead I got the tiniest of portions.

No exaggeration when I say this is the worst tea spot in Orlando. I always get the same thing whenever I'm at tea shops: Jasmine tea, add milk, boba, and lychee jelly. However, when I came to order their Jasmine tea and I asked to add milk, they told me they couldn't. I asked "oh do you guys not carry milk tea". They said that they do however, it's "store policy" to only add milk to ONE specific tea and you cant add it to any other tea on their menu... I have never heard of a place telling you you can't add milk (something that they do carry and sell) to their drinks. I suggest management get rid of this silly rule. That'd be like going to Starbucks, asking to add milk to your coffee and them saying no. There's only one drink on their menu that you can add milk to. There were also more restrictions on modifications to your tea such as toppings, boba, lychee, etc. Because of all of the rules and restrictions and not simply being able to add milk to any of their tea or drink options (even thought they carry it), I suggest going to any of the other hundreds of way better tea spots in Orlando. Now onto the actual tea itself, I was disappointment that after all of their tea ordering rules I still ended up getting the Jasmine tea which was gross.. the Jasmine flavor was almost non existent and I'm not sure what sweetener they add to their drinks but it was really nasty and left a weird after taste.

Ordered the Royal Milk Tea, absolutely delicious. It was sweet, creamy, and had a nutty taste as well, which I usually like in a classic milk tea. The place we decorated in a minimalist style, which fit the aesthetic. And of course, service was quick and the employees were considerate and nice.

The quality of the teas, boba, and cheese mouse has significantly gone down. The flavor is completely lacking - the tea is watered down, the cheese mouse tasted weird, almost spoiling, and the quality of the boba is poor - it was hard. I'm just very disappointed. This was my go-to for tea. Service was person was nice. Ambiance is still pretty cool.

One of my favorite tea places in the Orlando area! The tea always tastes super fresh and they use wonderful ingredients and fresh fruit. While their menu is more limited than some boba tea places, I think that is for the best as every item is a great choice. Everything we have tried here has been delicious! My two favorites to get are the Matcha Latte and the Lemon Lime Tea. You can also adjust sweetness and choose the type of milk you would like. The tea comes out quickly and the employees have always been so friendly. There are a couple of seats inside the store, and it is a great place to sip on tea and hang out. The only food options available are two dessert options (crème brûlée). But if you are looking for a food or snack, hop over to King Bao that is right next door!

Everything is made with syrup and powder. There's nothing fresh here. It's pure sugar water

Royaltea has been one of my go to boba spots since they've opened. Their menu is definitely smaller compared to many other boba spots but I like that that their tea is fragrant and just has good flavor overall. Their boba however, is pretty bland and the texture isn't very consistent. At times it's either old or undercooked, where it's not chewy throughout and has a hard center. And the boba doesn't have any sort of flavor or sweetness, some boba shops sweeten their boba a bit so it doesn't taste as bland. Staff is kind, the inside is pretty small and industrial design inside, but parking is a pain since it's street parking only. But overall I still recommend royaltea, I usually go for the Royal Three or the Cheese Mousse Jasmine Green tea.

The tea was really good. The boba isn't super soft, but is sweet. The person at the register was super helpful in assisting me in making my decision and helping me customize my drink. It's a small place but very casual. I would be back.

The employee, Mari, was incredibly sweet and helpful! She helped me pick the yummiest tea! It also smells delicious right when you walk in.

After finishing lunch at BB.Q Chicken, my friend suggested we walk to get bubble tea at this location down the street and around the corner. It's down one the streets off of Colonial and it's a small, intimate space where you can get your tea and go or sit and chill for a bit. This is the first shop I've been to where they make milk tea drinks with condensed milk instead of fresh milk, non-dairy creamer, or any non-dairy milk of your choice. The Royal 3 tea cannot be adjusted, but the regular Royal Milk tea can be adjusted for sweetness. My friend got the former and I got the latter with half sweetness and boba. Drinks were quick and only took a minute and a half. The staff were polite and worked quickly to get orders out to the window. My friend and I sat for a while and chatted with our drinks for a while. The tea had a great flavor not watered down by the add-ons or condensed milk and and the condensed milk added a creaminess to the drink. Pricing was on par with what I've paid for at other bubble tea shops. With regard to parking, street parking is your best bet, unless you're dining at a nearby establishment and can walk over quickly without getting towed. Do not park in Publix - they warn about towing people very clearly. I would come back here again.

This is the best spot for boba tea in Orlando! I love their cheese mousse for a funky pop of flavor. The store is small, but gives clean and cutesy vibes. The staff is really friendly, quick, and accurate.

I met up with a friend here to catch up and she said this is her favorite place and I get why! I ordered the lychee black tea with boba and it was no nonsense tea. I enjoyed it and their prices were reasonable. I appreciate that they had clear signs about the risk for towing around their store so we moved our car to one of the safe areas that they indicated.

I rarely get anything when I bring my son here. I saw they had the milk tea with taro and decided to try it. Was not really a fan. It's just milk tea with taro mixed into it in pieces. But otherwise we're usually happy campers here.

Based on the yelp pictures, Royaltea looked a little bit more legitimate than other tea, places in the Orlando area. However, we were pretty disappointed by the taste of the tea. The Royal bubble, tea, which is essentially a black milk, tea, is interestingly made with condensed milk like a Hong Kong style milk, tea. However, it still had a bit of a powdery taste to me. The boba itself was a bit on the mushy side. The lemon lime fruit tea was fine, a little bit overpriced at $6.50.

As someone who doesn't care for teas but enjoys boba shops with friends, I'm glad they have the strawberry yogurt drink. It's so good and the crystal jelly is special to royal tea, I haven't seen anywhere else use this type that has a subtle saltiness to it. It's really good.

Came in to order a drink after eating dinner at a nearby restaurant. Ordered the royal three milk tea, and the drink came out very fast. The worker was helpful, and explained to me the different drink options. Overall, the drink was okay, but the main thing that disappointed me was that the tapioca pearls were very inconsistent in texture and mushy, which threw me off. If I were to comeback, I probably wouldn't order any toppings, and would try another tea option and ask to adjust the sweetness level, as this was way too sweet with no adjustments. The interior is nice, and could be a place to study for a bit.

Boba is on the sweet side. Different flavors And great choices. Fast and friendly service. Cool place.

I've been on a Boba kick recently so decided to pop in and try the royal fruit tea and caffe latte both with boba. The fruit tea came with fruits inside which was yummy! The coffee was delicious without being overpowering. The ladies that helped me was very attentive and helpful. Great customer service! The decor was very cute for a boba place and had many seats if you wanted to sit in and enjoy your drink. Overall, can't wait to come by and try new drinks.

Always a wait for this awesome tea spot. They are a local favorite and a place we always make a pilgrimage to when in the area. Yelpers get a free topping when checking in when you arrive.

Royal tea cheese mousse is chef kiss! Your can never go wrong with getting any of the cheese mousse drinks. The fresh fruit drinks are also good if you're not in the mood for cheese mousse, I usually order the grapefruit or royal fruit tea. Dessert are really good there can't really go wrong with either choice. The service is always nice and polite, they'll help you make a good choice if you're feeling like you want a certain drink either sweet or not so sweet. You can sit and relax with friends, catch up and just chill. Music isn't too loud so you can hear each other, the store is designed so chic and modern.

Yummmyyyy!!! I love this spot. Service was great, quick and staff is friendly. Menu is simple and prices are fair. They offer tea, boba, and to my surprise coffee! I came in for a coffee after dinner (most matcha and tea spots on Mills do not have coffee, so that's what brought me here)... however, I ended up ordering the Moose Matcha with Boba. Lol. It was the best thing I've had in a while. Will definitely keep coming back! I'll try the coffee next time.

I've heard great things about Royal Tea being a favorite for genuine boba tea, so I stopped by and got their recommended Royal Three with Boba. I was not disappointed! It was a classic tea, not too sweet, and really enjoyable. I would definitely come back, but wish they had better parking. Do not park in the lot adjacent to or behind their building because you will get towed! I was forewarned and parallel parked on the street.

My wife and I popped into Royaltea for a quick drink before dinner. I had not yet been to this location. The interior is clean and bright and there is ample street parking on Mills or the street over. The evening we went it was super quick and we hung out and in the space a bit. I really enjoyed it and will be back to try more of the menu items. We were in a rush last visit and I didn't get to check out the full menu.

Cute store in a good location. Unfortunately the bubble tea itself was not that impressive. I got the Mousse Matcha but it didn't really taste much like anything. It barely had any matcha flavor at all and the boba were tough. Considering the price you'd think it would taste amazing, but it is a nice large size. Still, we had a pleasant experience and the staff were nice.

This was my first time trying this place. When I ordered my tea, I guess I didn't order it correctly because mine didn't even have any boba in it. When I got my order it was just tea with foam. I was disappointed. I wish the person taking my order would've clarified with me if my tea was going to have boba or not because I didn't know how to order what I wanted.

I love Royal Tea! Previously, I had only been to the East End Market location, so it was nice to visit their larger store. It was really cute. I got the matcha mousse. The uji matcha was super flavorful. The mousse was light and sweet. The drink was expertly made and looked so pretty. Service was great too. I was really happy with my experience and would definitely come back.

Are you lost in a sea of bubble-tea choices? Not sure which one of the dozens in the city to try? Look no further and be prepared to be treated like royal-tea (buh-dum-pssh). The space is small but trendy with a surprising amount of seating. Service is quick and friendly, parking is a bit of a challenge on mills (don't park in the back lot, you'll get towed) but I always seem to find street parking. The Royal 3 and mousse coffee are solid choices for the caffeine addicts like myself. I love that they don't charge extra for boba here. For the tea drinkers there's a ton here as well, but I'm forever drawn to that sweet brown nectar of the gods. My favorite part is that this place is walking distance to a ton of other food and bar options (when's the last time you could actually walk somewhere in Orlando amirite). Plan a stroll, sip some tea, be royal-tea ;)

I came here one day to get a little treat after a wonderful dinner with wonderful friends. I wanted one of the fancy teas with the bubbles in them that all the kids are drinking nowadays. So I checked out my list and discovered that this place was voted one of the best teahouses in all of Orlando. At least according to the fine readers of Orlando Weekly. So I stopped in, confusingly stared at the menu, and eventually asked the barista for some help and advise. I decided on the Peach Oolong, with the Cheese Mousse. I added another dose of sweetener, because I'm from The South. The peach tea part was very nice. Sweet, but not too sweet. The one part I was worried about was, I didn't know what the heck cheese mousse was. I was not disappointed. It's like a cream cheese whipped cream? But more solid. It was bizarre. Bizarrely delicious. If you're new and skeptical to all this stuff, just try it, trust me. I also got to sample the Traditional Royal Bubble Tea. It was fun. It was a sweet, milky tea. You'd like it. And the boba were nice. They were too chewy like some other ones I've had. Just a couple of chews and down they can go. But, there are way too many of them. There are dozens and dozens. Too many, it's overwhelming. If you don't want a million things to eat, I suggest asking them to go easy on the boba. Overall, this place was a super fast casual place to pop in, get your tea, and be on your way. An easy five stars, and this place has earned a customer for life.

They get a 4.5 for tea and a -5 for parking especially if you're talking about the weekend. I don't know how people find a spot. There's only 3 or 4 shared among multiple businesses, and a couple of parallel spots out front many of which are a fight to get with King Bao or Tori Tori. I just make it a point to go during off peak hours. Best cheese foam in town and service is usually great plus their rewards program is nice.

DIVINE. If you love fruit tea and other Asian inspired tea shops, this is the place for you. Phenomenal menu items, quick service and good pricing. Interior is tiny, but clean and nice atmosphere.

Love popping into Royaltea for a quick treat or pick-me-up. The line can get pretty long on the weekends and in the evenings, but you can pre-order on UberEats for pickup. I have a few go-to drinks depending on what I'm in the mood for. If I want something fruity and refreshing, I go for the Royal Fruits Tea (non-dairy) which has a mix of all the fresh fruits in it. If I'm feeling something more creamy with a good caffeine punch, I'll opt for the Royaltea with cheese mousse (I know, sounds odd -- just try it!). I also like the Rose Pu'er with cheese mousse if you're into something a bit more floral forward. And if it's later at night and I want more of a dessert drink, I'll get the Strawberry Yogurt drink (caffeine free). The interior is clean and minimal and you can usually find street parking on Mills or on the the next street over. Pro tip: It's night next door to King Bao, which makes the perfect meal combo!

Royal Tea is located on mills by pho 88. They have the best tea drinks imo because they use brewed tea and not powder mix. They have a rewards app for every drink you purchase that you get rewarded after a few points. The fruit drinks with fresh fruits floating are so delicious and refreshing! The cream cheese topping milk teas are also delicious- Theres a trick to drinking cream cheese topping drinks .. do not drink with a straw! You sip your cup to experience the milk tea and cream cheese topping!

Obsessed! That is all I got to say. I can have a nice big cup of Royal Tea and as soon as it is finished, I think about my next visit. I don't know if discovering them is a blessing or not, but anytime I hit the area, I make sure to stop by. My S/O feels the same way and asks me what is in that tea. I don't know, maybe msg? I'm joking, no msg goes in tea. But, to make a point, I don't even like milk and tea, I have never drank it, but after I had it, I am hooked. Luckily, ROYALTEA is coming to Waterford Lakes soon, so I am saving some money for that event. Yes! Coming soon to Waterford Lakes!!!

Friendly customer service. Fresh refreshing teas of all flavors. Including boba teas.

One of my favorite bubble tea spots in Orlando. Their tea is authentic and the cream cheese topping is amazingggg! They don't have a "large" menu but they don't need one, everything they offer is good!

Walking into this place it's so cute! They have little bleacher looking things and tables on them to sit. Very unique and offers plenty of room to sit and enjoy your tea. Once ordered our drinks came fairly quickly. They do have a nice selection but they don't have any flavored poppers which I personally like. But I got the Jay and it was so good and very refreshing and flavorful. I would go back and try something new but I would try another place that has those flavor poppers.

I've been to the Fremont, CA location-- first time seeing its cross-country counterpart! Royaltea's a pretty solid chain, though I wouldn't be able to tell its branding apart from the multitude of modern, white/minimalistic, vaguely plant-themed boba shops. For COVID safety purposes, staff wear masks, tables are sanitized, and social distancing is enforced. Parking is a mission and a half (be prepared to stalk some residential parallel spots...). We stopped by on a Friday evening right before a huge rush-- our orders only took around 10 mins. Comfy + cute indoor seating, decent for a medium-sized group! ROYAL BUBBLE TEA (less ice, 50% sweet): Decently strong tea. No milk substitutes. Already pretty sweet at 50%, can't imagine how it tastes at default. The boba's still overcooked and bland-- way too chewy. Idk what it is about Florida boba, but nobody's really getting it quite right. I can appreciate a boba place that focuses on signature menu items instead of 100 million half-assed ones. IMO, the California one still comes out on top.

I gave 5 stars because the drink is good and the service is good too. Only the parking is hard for a tourist like me.

The staff is super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is the tea version of "Starbucks". You can definitely come chill and study while enjoying your tea. I wasn't sure what to order and they were very helpful in explaining the cheese foam. It has an interesting taste but not bad. The only thing is the Eagle's fan/staff member tried to sabotage me with a leaky cup! Just kidding! :-) My lid was janky but to no fault of the staff!

Every boba I've tried in Orlando has been sorely disappointing for the most part, so when I was recommended to try Royaltea, I was hesitant to say the least. However, I was wrong, and I verbally told my colleague, "wow, this is good." I ordered cheese mousse royal tea with bubbles (left and right) and a matcha latte with cheese mousse (center), and they were both excellent. They were perfect at 50% sugar and the flavor of the tea was prevalent for both drinks. Cheese foam can be hit or miss, but theirs had a great balance of sweet and salty. The bubbles were only decent, good consistency but lacked flavor imho. This is the only place I would return to! 4.5/5
