SecreTea

Place is super cute and the staff are friendly 😊! My only complaint is how sweet my drink was. I ordered honey mango with boba. I thought it could be already a little sweet because of the name “honey” so I asked for free sugar (no sugar) and the drink to be slushy. The drink didn’t came as I imagined, it needed more ice to be slushy and was way way to sweet I couldn’t finish half of it. My sister ordered matcha drink with 25% and also told me it was very sweet and needed more ice to be cold. Just be aware of the drinks sugar level.

A small bubble milk tea shop near the GWU campus that is a hidden gem. Besides their delicious milk tea flavors (although their tea could be stronger) and perfectly chewy pearls/boba, what I think they excel at are their croissants. We tried their boba croissant and their monk temple tofu croissant, both of which were quite delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant is really nice and they decorate for each season (and have seasonal drinks). There's limited seating inside and a few tables outside, so most people usually have orders to go. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, although there are 2 kiosks as well from which one can place an order. Another specialty of theirs is the rabbit foam that can top a drink. Unfortunately, they weren't able to do that when we came, but otherwise, for $3 it adds a cool aesthetic. Note that their secret milk tea is a version of black tea with their own blend of milk (simple syrup and milk). It was on the sweeter side even with 50% sugar, so take heed.

First time here and I like the coffee jelly drink and it was quite affordable considering it’s in DC. The coffee jelly is a must if you order this drink perfect texture. I wish they gave more of the jelly. The drink itself was perfect not too sweet or underwhelming. I will come back for their pastries.

I ordered the taro drink that I did not receive. Waited ten minutes in the store and no one spoke a word to me. Went to 7/11 and came back drink still not ready. I then asked was the taro ready for the Asian lady to tell me that they didn’t have the non dairy milk that was available during the time I ordered and def could’ve asked me 20 minutes prior because I would’ve opted in for either non dairy options. I spent my entire lunch in here and left without the drink I ordered. Got a refund though which was the only plus. Overall very disappointed because it was my first time here.

I ordered a brown sugar, ginger milk tea, 75% sugar, boba, and oat milk. The beverage was delightful with a nice suttel punch with the ginger. The boba pearls did not have any exciting flavors profile to them and a little on the slimmy side and a little over soft. The atmospher was fun with photo opportunities and they did a lot with the space they have. There is a good selection of grab and go for those in a rush. Cute retail mugs and cups as well. You order through the screen option. I wish that all menue items offered a flavor profile but only the poster for the seasonal offering rovides that. The staff was upbeat and delightful.

My favorite bubble tea on this side of DC! I love all the flavors and that they change up the menu for the seasons. Always such nice workers and cute atmosphere. Also a decent price for bubble tea compared to elsewhere/georgetown etc.

Good bubble tea place located in the same building as the Elliot School of the George Washington University on E st. I ordered the Guava Yakult drink with tapioca pearls/boba. Both the drink and the boba were good and refreshing. They also sell other food, snacks, and desserts like boba croissant, bbq pork croissant, and cookies. Seating inside and outside available.

SecreTea is an instant classic. The first time I came here, I had the Oreo Dirty Milk. I am telling you that this drink can brighten any day. This has to be the best sweet/dessert thing I have consumed in a while, and I don't know if I'll order anything else from now on. The inside of SecreTea is colorful and bubbly, just as you'd expect. The ordering is all digital on the touch screens provided. The Dirty Milk took a little longer than the regular bubble tea, but it was definitely worth it! I can't wait to take another trip down to D.C. just so I can have SecreTea again!
