Tan-Cha Doraville

With so many bubble tea places, Tan Cha is our go-to for a more "dessert" like drink. Their cheese foam is better than other places (recommend an oolong tea + cheese foam). Their marble drinks have a good paste to milk ratio as well (recommend messy taro). They have unique taste profiles, with an extensive tea selection. Their fruit teas and smoothies are pretty refreshing. The boba has been cooked consistently well.

Tan-cha had some really unique flavored teas with foam toppings that added a flavorful boost to its drinks. I had the High Mountain Green Tea with cheese foam. The flavor was good but the cheese foam really made it a unique drink. The Uji Green Milk Tea with tiramisu foam was delicious and significantly better than the High Mountain. The interior was trendy and well decorated making it a great location to meet up with friends or go on a quick date.

So far, this is my new best place for Bubble tea and light snacks in Doraville. They have a vegetarian option, fried tofu, with different sauces. Super delicious, well seasoned, perfectly cooked and crispy and fast service. I wish they had maybe two more vegetarian options that aren't soy-based (like fries or sesame balls). The chairs and seats are very comfortable and the space is inviting. I didn't test out if they have wifi, but it feels like a nice place to work for a couple hours if wifi is available. Staff is very nice and friendly. Pricing is reasonable. Snacks came out quick! I got the cheesy-grape. Grape smoothie with cheese cream and lychee jelly. Perfect combo, well made, refreshing and flavorful. The facility is clean and mostly wheelchair accessible. Bathrooms are clean, and spacious.

Very cute. Kinda hard to spot like the exhibition atl hub thing that’s literally across the street. They have a cute vw van inside. Very clean. Very white. Staff is quiet and sweet. This is a place is will go again. P.s. the uji matcha red bean drink is yummy. Not overpowering. Not too sweet. Very good. The introvert in me is pleased.

This may sound a little dramatic but I've never had a Roasted Oolong Milk Tea as exemplary as this one. I've heard that Tan-Cha was really good, and this was my first time coming here with friends. Usually I tend to get flowery milk teas, so I ordered the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea, no foam, with boba, less ice and 30% sugar. The boba consistency was pretty chewy and the sugar level was perfect. The quality of the milk tea set this one apart from the rest of the Roasted Oolong Milk Teas I've had from other places. You can really taste the brewed oolong tea and it complimented the milk so well. The interior is very clean with many tables to sit. I liked the assorted plants scattered inside. There's so many places for photo opportunities. Also there's a whole van inside where you can take pictures in. It's decorated really cute with lights hanging beside and on it, the car matches the whole aesthetic of the boba shop. The cashiers were very nice and I look forward to trying their other milk teas and foam.

I discovered this place last year, and I have come back countless times since. This is my absolute favorite place for tea in Atlanta. The cheese foams are incredible - they have options for a tiramisu or regular cheese foam, and both are divine. They have a lightly salty sweet creamy flavor, and the tiramisu feels more dessert-like. I have brought all my friends here, and they have all been converted as well. Additionally, they have light fried appetizer snacks. Delicious. I've tried only the popcorn chicken and the fried tofu, and they are both amazing. You have the option to choose between 3 flavorful sauces. I usually opt for the passion fruit. Last thing is I want to shout out the little shovels you get with the drinks for scooping up the foam. They are so freaking cute, I'm obsessed.

I love this spot for the cheese and tiramisu foam in my boba drink. I tried the Frothy Matcha Cappuccino when I visited after they renovated and reopened under new management and that is probably my new favourite! They have several freshly brewed tea selections and fresh fruit slush - Creamio - options! The drinks are always well made and I will definitely recommend for you to go. The place is located conveniently right off Exit 32 - Buford Hwy and is across the street from the Buford Hwy Farmers’ Market with lots of parking.

The design was so cute and pretty, and Boba was so delicious, and it was amazing and nice because there were many new boda that I had never tried before. If I have a chance, I want to come again!

I love Tan-Cha! I was legit so sad when the Duluth location closed down. We were regulars there. So glad this location is still around. Their drinks are good. Some of my go to -fruit tea -matcha with tiramisu foam -grapefruit slushie -mango with the cheese foam They also have some snackies you can order. The popcorn chicken and firecracker shrimp are yummy. Service is friendly and drinks are made to order. Team Tan-Cha!

This seems like more of a spot for people that enjoy things like cheese foam, tiramisu brulee, etc. But even if that's not you, they still have a lot of solid and high quality choices that are more basic. I got regular sweetness in my tea and my first sip was sweeter than I expected. But I quickly got used to it, and the sweetness would be nice if I had ordered some of their hot food, which I do want to try next time.

With so many bubble tea places, Tan Cha is our go-to for a more "dessert" like drink. Their cheese foam is better than other places (recommend an oolong tea + cheese foam).

One of my favorite spot to be at, I have tried all their popular drinks. Love their drinks & services. It's a cute place to hang out with friends also.

Such amazing flavors - you must try the creme brulee boba! I didn't realize I'd love cheese foam so much - it is on the sweeter side just FYI. The place is decorated so cute with a picturesque van inside. Not a massive selection, but whatever they do is crafty and delicious.

Atmosphere: Tan-Cha is a clean, bright boba spot. A light blue truck converted into a seating area serves as a center point of the shop's decor. Service: Though there were a couple of other customers ahead of us, our order still took a bit longer than expected to come out. Food: We ordered the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea and the Brown Sugar Milk Tea, both at 70% sweetness. The Roasted Oolong Milk Tea had a nice, subtle toasted flavor that was pleasantly balanced by the sweetness and milk. The Brown Sugar Milk Tea tasted a bit watered down, but the flavors of the tea and brown sugar still came through nicely. Even though we ordered them at the same level of reduced sweetness, the Roasted Oolong tasted sweeter, which we were surprised by. Overall: Tan-Cha is a great place to grab a quick drink or spend some time with friends in its bright and inviting atmosphere. We hope to come back and try some of their other unique drink options.

I got the mango creamio boba with grapefruit and crystal boba. The balance of the cool, tart and sweet mango was perfect balance where it wasn't too diluted with ice but it wasn't too mango-y. The grapefruit's acidity cut through the sweetness of the drink. If you're not into sweet drinks, do ask them to accommodate by adjusting the sugar levels! it makes a difference to the drinking experience. I also love their matcha selection here; they have rich, decadent, and quality matcha you won't find elsewhere in a confectionary drink. The chocolate drink here looks so good and I would love to come back to try it. The baristas here are quick with the drinks, and the ambiance is to die for. Such a cute place for a photo op and to bring friends and family to gather for catching up!

My husband and I visited on a Saturday late afternoon. The service was good and the place was aesthetically decorated. The service as good. We ordered the Red Bean Milk Tea with Tiramisu and the Matcha Expresso. Both were delicious. Seems like a great place to have quiet catch up session with friends or to study.

The ambiance of this place is cute and mellow. It's light and bright, clean, and the chairs are comfy. Might be a nice place to have a small group meeting or a place to get a little work done (though I don't see outlets). The options are expansive and not what I'm used to, but I'm excited to try the different types of drinks (cheese foam, matcha foam, creamio milk tea, tiramisu foam, et Al). It's helpful that there are pics of the different types of drinks next to the menu so you can get an idea of what each drink is like. Service was nice. Like more traditional tea shops, you can customize your sweetness and ice level. Hubby and I ordered matcha expresso, fresh grapefruit slush (less sweet), and red Jade milk tea with tiramisu and boba (less sweet). Drinks took a little while to come out as they are a bit short staffed. They were out of lychee jelly when we went. Drinks were excellent! Hubs really liked the matcha expresso. I don't like a lot of sweet and the slush was perfect for a hot day. Tiramisu topped milk tea was my favorite!

Literally my favorite boba place in the Doraville area for their large variety. They do so much, AND they do it well! I'm never disappointed when I come here. Ambiance is always nice and cute. They have a Volkswagen inside the shop that has been converted to a seating area which is super cool! This time, I got the Royal Ceylon Milk Tea with Tiramisu Foam and caramel boba, and my boyfriend got the Mango Creamio. The milk tea itself and the boba were both pretty standard, but what really shined was the tiramisu foam. The lid of the drink has a rotating door-like thing to make a large opening to fit a spoon to dig into the top and eat the foam along with sipping your tea. They also provide the cutest little shovel-shaped spoons in a container on the counter where you pick up the drinks. That is ingenious. The foam tasted amazing. Basically like scooping the top creamy part of an actual tiramisu dessert and eating it. The Mango Creamio came with a little scoop of mango ice cream on top. It had the same type of lid/top as the tiramisu drink. The menu didn't say what the pink stuff was at the bottom of the creamio, so we were pleasantly surprised to find out that it was blended grapefruit. It created a nice flavor match with the rest of the mango milk tea drink. Overall, another great visit to Tan-Cha. Can't wait to try more unique drinks from them in the future.

Came by here the other day and really enjoyed it! Definitely another great boba spot for studying or working! Not all boba places have a lot of seating with outlets and wifi but this place has it all! Plus they have great boba and even some food options which I find to be less common at other boba spots!! ***PARKING*** It's in a shared lot so plenty of parking! ***EXPERIENCE*** The staff was very nice. I walked in and the phone rang and he gave all his attention to me even though I was still deciding. I thought that was nice because some other places will just not pay attention to you, but I told him go ahead and answer since I'd be a minute haha I looked over the menu and chose a milk tea - I think brown sugar. He told me it would be a minute to cook the boba since they had just opened, but that was no problem! I took a seat and got the wifi so I could work some. The seats are very comfy! Love the long benches with individual tables for working so you have outlets and privacy. It's the perfect spot to get work done! I also love the van, it's super unique and I think you can even sit inside! Would definitely be a fun photo op with friends! ***FOOD/DRINKS*** I got the brown sugar boba and got half sweet but it was still a little too sweet for me so next time I'll go down on the sweetness. It was still very good though! I LOVE to see that they have some savory options for food. Most places only have a couple sweet treats if any, which I hate when I'm working somewhere around lunch and maybe want to just grab a savory thing. So super glad to see that! ***BATHROOM*** Gender neutral and very clean! ***CONCLUSION*** Will definitely be back here more often when I'm in the area for meetings, etc. :)

I loved working with Quynh and Kailyn at Tan-Cha Doraville for my Wedding Party Favors. They were quick at responding to my messages and provided helpful suggestions for large catering orders. We ordered 3 of their popular flavors in Royal Ceylon Milk Tea with Boba & Tiramisu Foam, Super Fruit Tea, and Mango Cremio for our guests as party favors. They delivered the drinks on time and even helped place my personalized Wedding stickers on each cup. The drinks arrived neatly and was still fresh (little to no melted ice). All of our guests loved it!! We highly recommend having Tan-Cha at your next big event - or even as a pick-me-up during the week!

This is an underrated boba spot! It's a bit off the path so might not get the foot traffic of a place in an H Mart plaza, for example, but their drinks are delicious. The boba tastes super fresh, which is always important to me. They have several creative flavors. The fruit based drinks are very refreshing, and I liked the yogurt bubbles for this - like Korean Yakult, if you're familiar with that tangy sweetness. The tiramisu foam is also delicious - much better than most of the cheese foams I've had elsewhere. Decor is cute, and service is fast. Highly recommend!

I don't normally drink tea, but the tiramisu foam was amazing. I came to Atlanta for a work trip and have been craving it since I left. They also have this rustic van inside that's great for kids to sit in and enjoy themselves and plenty of chairs for students to sit at and study

@Bian S and @john S All of your unnecessary words won't hide the fact that what you're saying is ridiculous . There was no strategy of making people wait, there were just hundreds of people in line. You might be good at English but I think you forgot how to count how many people were in line. There were also SEVERAL other vendors that were serving food with way shorter lines, so if you were hungry maybe you should have gotten some food before especially if you saw how long the wait and line was. Just a suggestion. And if you were hungry after eating all that food, maybe that's a you problem. The workers want to finish everything as fast as possible so they can leave as fast as possible, so next time if you have a problem waiting, don't wait! Maybe instead of focusing on English 1102, find a job and learn a life lesson.

Great drinks and ample seating. Although service was a bit slow and cashier seemed to be new to the job the drinks well made up for the wait.

Hey, I need you to write up a reverse paraphrasing of this review I got about Tan Cha's 'Hunger Promotion' promotion. Basically take the original text and re-write it backwards, with the conclusion first and the intro last. Make it flow naturally like you're just providing the opposite perspective. I'll pay you the usual $20 rate if you can get it back to me by tomorrow morning. Just send me the reverse paraphrase text when you're done. Thanks! OK Here they are: Even the finest tea cannot make up for the time squandered in endless queues. Returning seems an unwise choice; better to be wary after such disregard for a customer's time. The theoretical appeal of building anticipation amounts to little when the practical result is feeling famished for efficiency. Tan Cha's strategy, though memorable, may foster associations opposite to those intended. Is this forced scarcity and delay a ploy to inflate demand, or a earnest attempt at enhancing product enjoyment? Doubts linger after the excruciating wait that forms a daily endurance test for students, starkly at odds with the campus pace. Though the teas ultimately provide solace, reaching that point requires philosophic patience from those who subscribe to "Good things come to those who wait" - a maxim Tan Cha takes to irrational extremes. The purported "Hunger Promotion" left a strong negative impression, both of the marketing and my depleted patience after this memorable campus visit. Do they look OK? Yes please send as it is.

Recently, I ventured to Tan Cha, attracted by their much-discussed Hunger Promotion, aimed at drawing in the bustling campus crowd. What I experienced there, however, left a rather indelible mark on my patience and my perception of clever marketing. Tan Cha seems to subscribe to the adage, "Good things come to those who wait." Yet, in practice, this philosophy morphs into an excruciating wait that teeters on the brink of reason. The store, perhaps unknowingly, conducts a daily symposium in endurance as students queue, watching the minutes drip slowly by, a stark contrast to the swift passage of time we're accustomed to on campus. While the teas themselves do eventually provide a measure of solace, the protracted wait raises questions about the intention behind such a strategy. Is the aim genuinely to enhance our appreciation of their offerings, or might it be a ploy to inflate demand through scarcity and delay? This method, while undoubtedly memorable, might not engender the fond memories Tan Cha perhaps hopes to evoke. In sum, while the concept of harnessing anticipation as a seasoning agent is intellectually appetizing, the practical application leaves one famished for efficiency and respect for the customer's time. As for future visits, I find myself wary; after all, time is a commodity that even the finest tea might not replenish.

We got the uji green milk tea with tiramisu foam, brûlée Thai milk tea with boba, crispy tofu, fried squid balls, and chicken nuggets. The drinks were delicious but the food is mid, which is understandable since their main focus is on drinks. Highly recommend getting the drinks with tiramisu foam! It wasn't crowded when we went so service was quick. The interior is modern and the Doraville location has a cute van inside that you can sit in.

A more premium spot if you're willing to splurge a little bit more (prices start at $6). The previous time the hubs and I had the royal ceylon milk tea w/ tiramisu foam and some popcorn chicken. The royal ceylon milk tea was pretty tasty, but the tiramisu foam on top made it better. You use the little shovel/spoon to scoop the foam on top. The popcorn chicken was pretty average. Some pieces were tougher with a hardened exterior. The chicken wasn't super juicy or tender. An all around meh experience with the nuggets. The sauce was a nice touch. Recently, we tried the avocado creamio. I am definitely a fan as it was super delicious with surprise (clear) bubbles at the bottom. With 70% less sugar, my taste buds still had enough sugar. With it being one size, it was a nice sharing drink after a full dinner. There's always some room for dessert/bubble tea!

Completely hooked onto their Osmanthus Oolong with Agar Jelly. Some days I would get two and once three at a go. AMBIANCE 5/5 The music selection is always good here. Once the music was definitely way too loud. I like how bright the place was. Not sure if it is a conducive place to do work here. My phone reception was so bad here. DRINK 5/5 Osmanthus Oolong with Agar Jelly just so good! It lured me back week after week. Mmm... FOOD 5/5 Tried their firecracker shrimps, 100% delicious! Their sweet chili goes so well with the fried shrimps. SERVICE 5/5 Service always good! The staffs definitely on the quiet side.

I'm pretty sure that my body runs on bubble tea. Instead of blood and hemoglobin, I have jasmine milk tea and tapioca balls. It's terrifying, but true. I have drank an absurd amount of bubble tea throughout my life thus far. I thought I have tried it all, until I had Tan-Cha. This place was absolutely marvelous. I got the tiramisu foam uji green milk tea and it was unearthly. Such a unique flavor. Had the salty cheesy foam and the sweet and tangy taste from the tea. The tapioca balls had the perfect texture. Not too soft, not too firm - a perfect balance of chewiness. That says a lot about the quality. When the balls are right, the place is tight. The inside was really cool as well. Very spacious, areas to sit and chill. Also had an old VW truck where you can go inside and chill. Staff was very nice and polite as well. Also, the quality of the cups they serve the bubble tea in is awesome. Has a cool spin lid and an area to pop in your straw. You don't see that too often. 5/5 one of the best boba places I've been to

This spot lives up to the hype! Came here Friday night at 10pm and it was fairly busy. There's plenty of seating and parking for the shop. I'm not usually a foam person when it comes to my bubble tea, but I decided to step out of my usual and ordered the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with Tiramisu Foam. My fiance ordered the Mango Creamio (?) which had grapefruit puree at the bottom, a mango smoothie portion in the middle and vanilla ice cream. We added boba to both drinks. Both were delicious!!! Strong oolong tea flavor and the boba was perfectly chewy. The winner was the tiramisu foam though. It was so good I literally used my finger to lick it up! No shame. The Mango Creamio had a lot going on with it but it was such a great. Fresh, creamy, strong mango flavors and the grapefruit puree cut the sweetness nicely. If you're thinking about it, check it out! I'll definitely be stopping by when I'm in the area again

Drinks are alright here. Decor is fun and welcoming. Staff seemed a little unsure and intimidated. We received one wrong drink order, but that happens for us occasionally. Overall, not that bad. Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for being open!

I have not been to many bubble tea places in metro Atlanta, as I only moved here two years ago. I think having been to Tan-Cha twice recently I would rank it number one in my book before Samurai Tea, then Sweet Hut, and ending with Unbelibubble. The reason for this is the location is right off 285 Buford Highway exit basically (close to my job and pretty close to home also). The inside of the store is cute and never too congested when I go. Plus, they have really good oolong milk tea which you can order unsweetened or adjust your sweetness level. Both times I went I had business at Pep Boys just kitty corner across the street, so it was a great pit stop before getting my car worked on. I ordered the Roasted Oolong Milk Tea with the Tiramisu Cheese Foam and regular boba, regular ice and unsweetened. I personally am lover of green or oolong tea hot or cold and as is (without even any sweetener), so unsweetened with the boba and tiramisu cheese foam was plenty sweet and flavorful. I did not stick around either time, but the inside of the store is inviting with hip hop or k-pop music usually playing, a cute little bus seat inside you could have a small group gather in, and ample other seating spread out for a seemingly small café. Service was quick and friendly both times. There's other food I would probably try another time (besides more tea), such as popcorn chicken and crispy tofu. This is always nice as some bubble tea shops don't do snacks, if you'd want something besides just a drink. So far, only positives about this place, nothing bad to say. I would love to continue to come here for my oolong milk tea fix. Highly recommended if you're in the area, and don't forget to get the tiramisu cheese foam - it's the perfect rich topping to a milder drink.

Every time I come to Atlanta, I always make sure to get my fixing of Tan Cha. Almost every drink I've had with them are delicious and addicting that I always come back for a second fixing. I'm a matcha tea lover so I had to get my matcha and theirs have the perfect amount of matcha that isn't overpowering and the sweetness level is enough to my liking (considering it was at 100% sweetness level). The foam is thick and has a sweet/salty taste. It also has a roasting taste to it like a roasted marshmallow. It can be pretty addicting. We've also had the popcorn chicken and firecracker shrimp (not pictured) and you can never go wrong with getting both since they're both really good. The shrimp was juicy and the crunch from the egg roll paper was perfect. The chili sauce for dipping was a good amount of spice for those who like spice. Definitely love coming here every time I visit Atlanta.

I have been wanting to go to Tan-Cha forever. I wasn't able to experience it with the Yelp Elite drink, but came here after visiting some other Doraville restaurants for the Discover Doraville Yelp Elite Event. OMG this place and the drinks are amazing! The vibe is awesome and the drinks are complimentary. We got the avocado milk tea, strawberry milk tea and the brown sugar milk tea! I tried all of them and they were all amazing! A little in a pricey side but the flavor is titillating. We only had drinks, but they also have small plates. Lots of Instagram worthy spots around the small store.

Having recently discovered Tan-Cha and finally deciding to give this whole Milk-Tea thing a chance, Tan-Cha has become a consistent spot for me to swing in when I am cruising up and down Buford Highway. Tan-Cha is located in Clover Plaza, the two story shopping plaza that sits across from the farmers market. Getting in and out is fairly easy, but it is Buford Highway so be careful! Parking is plentiful for the plaza itself, so that should never be an issue, but you may not be able to scoop one up directly in front of the doors. On my first visit, I came in shortly after they opened was greeted immediately. As mentioned above, I am still relatively novice in my Milk Tea prowess, and lucky for me the staff here are excellent in recommending things and educating me on what goes in to each drink. For my first drink, I let them know what flavors I usual enjoy and they ended up recommending the Cocoa with Cheese and Oreo. While the combination of cheese and Oreo has never crossed my mind, I went for it. The drink itself was cocoa and it was delicious! The foam was the cheese/Oreo part and it was a mix of salty and sweet...took a minute to get used to, but turned out to be pretty tasty. Outside of the drink above, they offered a variety of drinks that they grouped by foam and base. They had Tiramisu/Brulee foam, Cheese foam, and Matcha foam sections then for the base was Creamia Milk Tea, Brown Sugar, Fruit Tea and Special Drinks, which is where my cheese and Oreo drink came from! You could also add several toppings such as boba, red bean, lychee, yogurt and/or egg pudding. If you wanted something savory with your drink, they also offered a small menu of "small bites" such as popcorn chicken, fried shrimp, fish balls, squid balls or tofu! Seating was plentiful on the inside with high tops and booth seating scattered around...or you could sit in the VW Bus! It is a legit full shell of a VW Bus that they had seating installed in, so legit hang in the bus with your Milk Tea! Another cool thing was the cup lids! Such a minor thing, but they thought every part of this place out...including the lids! They are designed to allow you to scoop off the toppings, so they are a solid plastic lid that has a hinged opening allowing you to scoop out the goods...scoop out with what you ask? A tiny freakin' shovel! Such a cute and cool thing! So, when you pick up your drink up make sure to grab a shovel with your straw! Overall, Tan-Cha is a solid Milk Tea spot on Buford Highway and I am a fan!!

Love this place! We've been here a few times and I just realized I've never left a review They host the BEST shops like crinkles by Nina & millas macarons & prob more but those are the ones I follow on Instagram They also have a wide variety of tea offerings & some small bites too. The squid balls are great but I didn't get those this time so no pic today The brulee and tiramisu teas are sooo delicious! They are very sweet though but you can order them less sweet They have caramel boba & egg pudding & popping bobas too as toppings Plenty of fruit teas to choose from so don't have to get a creamy one I will mention their teas are kinda pricey. I got a cocoa with tiramisu w/boba & pudding & it's $8 with tax before tip so not an every day tea place but a special treat They're located right off Buford hwy in a shopping center with plenty of parking and definitely worth a visit

I find Tan-Cha to have one of the more decadent and rich milk teas since they are heavier and very filling. The uji tea with tiramisu is one of my go-to's, but their drinks are very sweet! There's lot of seating inside, and the drinks are always made very well.

One of my new favorite bubble tea cafes -- I first visited during the Doraville Restaurant Week and fell in love with their Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Boba. So good!! Today I was super curious about the yogurt popping boba and the lady working there said it would complement well with the Uji Green Milk Tea. OMG I found my new favorite milk tea flavor. UJI GREEN MILK TEA WITHOUT FOAM - $4.95 (+ .75 for yogurt popping boba) Wow. I love this flavor so much. As always, asked for less sugar, less ice. And it was perfect. Honestly I was a little scared about the green tea b/c I'm not a huge matcha fan - but it didn't have the matcha flavor at all and had a very nice & obvious tea flavor. And the yogurt popping boba - whoa, little explosions of "yakult" in my mouth, pop pop pop! A fun drink for Friday for sure. Next time I'd like to try their Avocado Creamio!

I usually like Tancha, but this time was different. Most of the drinks we ordered were fine. Until, my sister was using the mini shovel they give you to eat her tiramisu foam and found paper in it. She didn't open her straw yet so the paper was not from there. We also got charged for the tapioca in three drinks but only got like 10 pearls in each cup.

I'm a regular here at Tan Cha! I love their avocado creamio and yo-avocado. The staff is very nice and food comes out a reasonable time. It's a great place to wind down with a small group of friends :)

Visiting GA from NYC and i would say i love everything about this place. From the lightning, décor, the drink and the staff. The tea is so pure and I have to come back again for the same order the next day. Plz open up in NYC cause you guys will be missed.

First time to Georgia and my brother took us to a different bubble tea place everyday. This was the best one out of them. The foam on top is so fluffy and you can taste the mascarpone cheese. The other bubble tea place we've been to also have good flavor but you cannot really taste the tea. It is bubble tea after all. This place finds a good balance of tea and other flavor.

Love love the dessert drinks. I pass by so many boba spots to have their uji matcha milk tea with tiramisu foam. I do less sugar bc the other ingredients are pretty flavorful and sweet! The ambiance is cute for a casual date or hangout with friends, and they have a little bus inside to take pics or hangout in. They staff has always been sweet and attentive.

Lately it seems Tan-Cha has been sliding. They now close 10 PM instead of 11 PM. They seem to always be out of boba after 9/9:30 PM which is a huge bummer and not sure if they are actually out of boba or reluctant to make more boba. On our last visit this past Saturday night, they were 10 minutes from closing and we ordered our drinks understanding that boba was out. After we ordered the drinks and while they were making they could not complete half the drinks (3 drink orders) and asked for alternative drinks that we would like... this went on for what seemed like 5-10 minutes of trying to make alternates with what ingredients they had left from the day. Looking back on it they probably should have offered a refund since half my group didn't get what they wanted and had to choose new things but the owner and crew did not offer a refund as an option so we picked the alternatives. This used to be my go to for when tea top (closes 9 PM) and meet fresh (closes 9 pm weekdays 10 pm weekends) but with the inconsistent service and boba inventory it's difficult to count on Tan-Cha to fixate the boba craving.

Such a cute aesthetic interior! There's a cute wall for pictures and also a little green van that you can sit in. The boba tea tasted amazing and the cashiers were very sweet.

The best Boba I've had in a longgg time! This place has a super welcoming atmosphere that you notice as soon as you enter. Everything is incredibly clean and the decor is amazing - especially in the winter when they have string lights and Christmas decorations. The workers are always friendly and assist with what to order. They never go wrong with a classic black milk tea or the uni matcha.

So cute!! their drinks are so different and cool adds. they have different kinds of cheese foams, like tiramisu, matcha and cheese. the drinks are very pretty. they have a little bus inside that adds to the nice aesthetic. their taro is fresh taro, taro paste, not the fake powder so extra delicious!

I am always happy to see new boba spots pop up on Buford Highway, especially chains or local spots that haven't existed previously in Atlanta. Tan Cha was a new one and I was all here for it. I've tried a couple of drinks here, but my one favorite is the High Mountain Green Tea with Cheese Foam. I actually really don't like cheese foam but I love the cheese foam with the High Mountain Green Tea. It doesn't taste like High Mountain Green Tea to me (more like a Jasmine Green Tea) but it's not bad tasting. I recently ordered an Iced High Mountain Green Tea with no cheese foam or sugar and that's when I noticed it definitely tasted like Jasmine Green Tea. I was a little confused by the uji green milk tea with tiramisu, per recommendation of the guy working the counter. I guess I wasn't sure what to expect, but based on pictures I had seen on social media, I was hoping it would be a little fluffier and not so liquid-y. It just looked like cream I should mix into the tea - So I was a bit confused by the shovel provided... I could just mix it with my straw or shake up the sealed drink to make my life easier. Now I'm super excited to try some of their food items, though. I haven't had a chance but have heard good things about select items on the menu. Can't wait to stop in and try them!

One of the best boba tea spots in the doraville area. The boba tea is super rich and creamy if you get the tiramisu foam! Honestly, the tea can definitely fill you up and make you feel super full. There is only one sized cup and they give you a lot of tea, sometimes I can't even finish it. I wish they offered smaller sized cups. Also, I usually order 70% sweetness level and it still taste great for people who are watching their sugar intake. Overall, it's a great boba tea spot. I would recommend the oolong or green matcha w/ tiramisu foam.

Drinks here are really good but definitely on the pricy side ($6-7 per drink with toppings). There is no loyalty card/ point system here :( Only one or two workers were wearing masks, which made me a little uncomfortable tbh. Royal Ceylon Milk Tea with Tiramisu Foam and Boba, 25% Sweet- a must try!! It's definitely on the rich and heavier side but a delightful treat!! Matcha Milk Tea with cream foam and boba, 25% sweet- also delicious! Super Fruit Tea with Lychee Jelly, 25% Sweet- pretty solid

Tan-Cha straddles the four-to-five star line for me. The Brown Sugar Latte with Boba that I had was outstanding. The Uji Matcha with Cheese Foam and the Super Fruit Tea were also very good. I think Tan-Cha has an edge over several of the already-good boba tea shops on Buford Highway. Currently, I'd rank them in my top tier of boba tea shops with Tea Top (my favorite) and Kung Fu Tea (a now old-school classic). I'll give Tan-Cha a "soft five" or 4.5 stars rounded up to 5. There are simply a lot of good-to-great bubble tea options in Doraville which I consider the bubble tea mecca of the Southeast. Tan-Cha opened in September 2020 and joins Gong Cha (August 2020), Pearl's Tea (October 2020), and Cuckoo's Cafe (February 2021) as new bubble tea shops to open on Buford Highway over the last year. You can find Tan-Cha in Clover Plaza, the two-story strip across from Buford Highway Farmers Market, OTP (outside the perimeter). Since moving to Atlanta in 2000, this was my first time at Clover Plaza. Like Ding Tea, Gong Cha, Kung Fu Tea, Quickly, Tea Top, and Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea, Tan-Cha is a chain and this location is a franchise. Cuckoo's Cafe, Pearl's Tea, and Sweet Hut are chains too (and the Pearl's Tea on BuHi is a franchise), but they're smaller and those brands started in the metro Atlanta area as opposed to outside Georgia or the US. As I've said in my reviews for some other bubble tea shops, the bubble tea competition in Atlanta is stiff. On Buford Highway in particular, I think you have to be at least a "four-star" bubble tea shop to have a chance at long-term survival. It's tough, but I digress. What makes Tan-Cha good? The quality. If they can keep it up, I think they'll do fine. Quality is the reason why Tea Top and Kung Fu Tea are still among my top-recommended - they've been able to maintain high quality drinks while others have fallen or the competition around them has gotten better. As far as product, Tan-Cha has some products that are different from the rest: Tiramisu Foam drinks, Frothy Matcha Foam drinks, and drinks like Cocoa with Cheese & Oreo and Brulee Thai Milk Tea with Boba. I also think it's interesting how Tan-Cha does *not* have grass jelly, one of my favorite tea toppings. During my visit, Tan-Cha had 35 drinks on the menu, all one size only. The size wasn't listed anywhere so I asked. The manager, Mike T, told me that all of Tan-Cha's cups, foam or no foam, hold 22 ounces. Foam drinks are served in smaller-looking cups with snap-shut lids as opposed to the standard boba tea cups with sealed plastic film on top. If you get a drink with foam, you get about 17 ounces of liquid. Drinks start at $4-6 each with toppings $0.75 each, though some drinks like my Brown Sugar Latte with Boba, come and are priced with boba. There were seven topping choices. I ordered a variety to get a feel for what Tan-Cha has to offer. My Brown Sugar Latte with Boba, Uji Matcha with Cheese Foam, and Super Fruit Tea were all priced the same at $5.75 each. I absolutely loved the Brown Sugar Latte with Boba. I'm also a fan of sweet and creamy drinks. Like other bubble tea shops, Tan-Cha uses the word "latte" loosely as there was no actual espresso nor steamed milk in my drink. Instead, it was caramelized brown sugar, boba (tapioca pearls), and whole milk. I like brown sugar boba drinks in general and this was one of my favorites anywhere so far. It reminded me of one of my favorite drinks at Kung Fu Tea, Wow Milk (Lactaid), but Tan Cha's Brown Sugar Latte with Boba was even sweeter. As for the boba, it was top-notch: fresh with perfect texture and flavor (sweet). While I like sweet, I don't like super sweet, so I ordered all my drinks with "less sugar." I also ordered them all with "less ice." The Brown Sugar Latte with Boba was still plenty sweet at that level. In comparison, both the Uji Matcha with Cheese Foam and the Super Fruit Tea were noticeably dialed back. Something unique that Tan-Cha does is offer miniature plastic shovels which you can use to scoop the foam on the top of the foam drinks. I thought it looked gimmicky at first (and maybe it still is), but it's actually both cute and functional. The Cheese Foam on my Uji Matcha was delicious and it was way easier to scoop it into my mouth than try to eat it using a straw like at Sharetea or elsewhere. With foam drinks, I prefer to sample the foam first, then mix it in to create a creamier, saltier, and overall richer beverage. That's what I did here and it was quite yummy. The lady at the register told me that the Tiramisu Foam was sweeter and saltier while the Cheese Foam had a more "cheesy" flavor. The latter certainly does, but I've also always found cheese foam, including this one, to be salty too (in a good way). My Super Fruit Tea contained watermelon, strawberry, orange, lemon, and lime. It was cold and refreshing with a good balance of both tea and fruit flavors. It stands up to some of the best fruit teas I've had (Yi Fang, Cuckoo's).

I discovered Tan-Cha when I had to come here to pick up my Milla's Macarons & Confections order. It seems like they often help other small businesses host pop-ups here! Tan-Cha prides on having unique looking and tasting drinks. Their drinks are also made from real tea and fruit, not artificial sweeteners and syrups. My boyfriend and I ordered the Pu'er Tea with Matcha Foam and Matcha Espresso. I don't usually see Pu'er Tea as a base tea in most bubble tea places so was excited for this. We both enjoyed our drinks! I was able to order through the phone and just pickup in store.

I drink a lot of bubble tea. Too much unfortunately, ha. Yelped and found Tan-cha today and decided to check it out. We ordered Brown Sugar Latte w/ Boba, Brown Sugar Milk Tea w/ Boba, Royal Ceylon Milk Tea w/ Foam w/ Boba, Fried Chicken, and Fried Tofu. The drinks were excellent...and very pretty, haha! One of the drinks were short on boba and I asked one of the employees and she immediately fixed it for me. Then my daughter wanted some plain milk with boba, which obviously was not on the menu. No problem, they took care of that for us too. All with a smile on their faces. Very excellent customer service! In regards to the snacks, the tofu was very good. The chicken had the right flavor but was pretty dry. I would definitely get the tofu again but probably not the chicken again. Lots of boba tea places in Atlanta and many can do it right, so when all else being equal, customer service is what makes or breaks the deal. Their bubble teas were 5 stars and the snacks were 4 stars, but the service definitely tipped the scale and made the visit 5 stars and we will be back again!

We were in the area running errands and happened to stumble upon the shopping plaza Tan-cha was located in. I looked it up and decided to try it out since the reviews were so positive on yelp. I tried the Royal Ceylon tea with tiramisu foam and the fried fish tofu. I will say I was a bit skeptical because I wasn't sure "tiramisu foam" would be good on a bubble tea. And man was I so wrong, but I'm glad to be proven wrong haha. It was so so good, I really enjoyed it. My fiancé doesn't really like bubble tea or sweets and even he was impressed. The fried tofu was good too but not a must for me. The only thing I'll say though, is it's quite pricey. My drink with pudding jelly was $6.70. I'm not sure I've ever paid that much for a non alcoholic beverage lol. Definitely a treat. The interior was really nice, very clean and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Our drinks came out fast too. I'd recommend to try out if you are in the area!

Limited parking right by the store. Dine in is available, it was pretty crowded when I went. The decor is really cute inside, you can take some nice pics. The wait was a bit longer than usual. They have a decent selection of different teas as well as snacks. High Mountain Green Tea with Cheese Foam: it was delicious! Nice and refreshing and the cheese foam added the perfect amount of saltiness. You can get a cute little shovel spoon to scoop out the cheese foam if you want. The first time I came I also tried the popcorn chicken with spicy sauce on the side. So good! Highly recommend. Will definitely be back again!

This is my second or third time visiting this place and it's becoming one of my favorite tea spots in the area. Service is always spot on and the place is always kept clean. I ordered a Yo-avocado with yogurt popping boba and lychee jelly with regular sugar. My favorite part of this drink was the popping boba that added an even more yogurt flavor to the drink. The avocado flavor was subtle and not overly sweet and I feel like the drink needed to be mixed really well to get all flavors at once. Overall good experience!

Heard the hype of tiramisu foam so made my way to check it out (with not much expectations though as someone who's not a huge fan of cream/foam in my boba). BUT Tan-Cha was different. I usually don't like the cream because it takes away the refreshing aspect of boba that I like. Their tea was still refreshing even with the foam. The tiramisu cream wasn't sweet at all! Could've had more of the tiramisu taste in my opinion but it was still delicious and was a perfect mix with both the ceylon and matcha tea. They surprised me with the free snack with 2 drinks promotion and got their freshly made crispy tofu. First time having crispy tofu and it was really good! Had a spicy kick to it and very crispy!
