"On the edge of the Emory University campus, Tea Leaf and Creamery is known for its signature smoothie teas with flavors such as avocado, black grape, and red dragon fruit. Along with its smoothies, Tea Leaf and Creamery offers various tea infusions with ice cream or yogurt. A second location on Buford Highway opened in 2021." - Paul Kim

Love the boba here. The Oreo crème brûlée is fantastic with crystal boba; the fruit teas are also amazing

Finally tried this super popular spot. It does get crowded but the line moves relatively fast. The two times I have been there, the service has been good and helpful with suggestions or any questions we had. I thought the super fruit four-season tea was good although since most of it was citrus fruit, a little sour and probably out of season. The fresh strawberry smoothie tea was also good. It was all very refreshing but I wish they had more non-mixed fruit tea options because the smoothie teas are heavier and do not go great with toppings. Their boba is good, it has a nice sweetness but not overly sweet in the drinks. It is a smaller space so if it is crowded, you will just have to take it to go although there are some tables to sit at. I also think that it is a little pricey and there are other great bubble tea options around that are not quite as expensive.

This place is amazing! They offer so many choices it can be a little overwhelming. The staff was fantastic and offered a few suggestions after we mentioned it was our first time in. I settled on a freshly made cone with strawberry cheesecake and the fresh custard. It was delicious! Do yourself a favor and get the custard on whatever you order. It's sweet but not too overpowering. Yum yum yum. There were also big chunks of cheesecake all throughout the ice cream. If I lived close this place would be a problem for my waistline. Highly recommended

This is actually my #1 boba spot. I'm here at least 1x a month and I love 40 minutes away. The desserts are NOT to be missed! SO YUM. The fruit teas are so refreshing. Lots of fun flavors. I can't wait to go back.

So many people have recommend any of Tea Leaf's locations to me and I finally got the chance to try (spoiler: it lives up to the hype)! It's open pretty late and there's a big parking lot so that was awesome for a little post-dinner dessert. The shop is small and there was a small line we had to wait in to order and get our food but it moves quickly. We got an egg waffle ice cream with chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with add-ons of oreo, coffee cookie, custard, and Reese's. The ice cream was MASSIVE and I was glad 3 of us were sharing it. My friend also tried their Thai tea boba which was also delicious. Overall, super cute spot and I can't wait to go back!!

I have been in this area a thousand times and never knew about this place. It's open pretty late which is awesome and it's the best place to get a sweet treat after dinner!! We showed up around 9 and it was pretty full! Had to wait a sec to get our order taken and then get our order but no big deal! We got the chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with the addle with custard and coffee cookie, Oreo and Reese's. This was decadent!! Definitely worth the sharing as it was massive!! I would love to come again to try the filled fish waffles they have because they are so cute. Love this place!

This place offered bubble teas and ice cream waffles. I shouldn't hold against them that the person in line in front of me spent a lot of time talking on the phone with someone about what to order, or the confusion between ube and purple yam that ensued, but it still wasn't amazing service. The ice cream waffle I sampled was notable for a strongly flavored green tea ice cream. The fish waffle was nothing world-beating, but the custard inside was tasty. For the price, I just wasn't that impressed with the limited topping options. It struck me as an okay place for people who hadn't tried this sort of thing, but for the price of getting something like this done right in Chinatown NY or something, this was not the level of experience I had there.

In the mood for sweets or refreshing drinks, you've come to the right spot! It was around 3 in the afternoon and I needed a pick me up sweets after a long morning with lots of walking. Yelp suggestions and reviews got me here. I ordered mango ice cream, slush and mango popping boba. It is so good and perfectly sweet. I'm glad I ordered it with 50% sugar. I can't imagine how sweeter it will be at 100% sugar. The mango popping boba is so addictive that I was attempted to order more but not today. I highly recommend coming here. During my 20 minute stay, I do notice many customers placing orders to go. You can either order at the counter or the kiosk by the door. Parking is plenty as this spot is located in a strip shopping area.

Yes Yes boba tea and? So I found this awesome tea spot in Decatur woot woot! I was able to park right in front of the shop. Service was decent. I came in with just the intent to purchase a tea but to my surprise they have desserts so I went through my normal routine looking over the menu wanting to order something different but I ordered my Thai milk tea with boba sugar level 75%. What can I say it works for me ‍. It was kinda busy but everyone was receiving their orders quickly. The ambiance was lovely.I will be back to try one of their desserts... until next time SYOY! Oh and check out my pic!

I came here on a Thursday night. Surprisingly, this spot had a pretty long line but the baristas were working quickly. I had a matcha icecream with a custard-filled Taiyaki and it was good. The matcha ice cream was good, but could have had a stronger matcha flavor. The taiyaki was the best part of the dessert. It was super fresh and was still warm, and the custard melted on the icecream. There's some seating options inside and some outside as well. I imagine it gets busy on weekends.

OH MY GAHHHH WHERE HAVE I BEEN? Okay so I've known about Tea Leaf and Creamery for a while now and I actually live 5 minutes from the BuHi location but somehow never tried this place till my girlfriends and I were in the Decatur area and were craving something sweet after dinner. They were like, "you've never been to Tea Leaf, whaaattt?" and after coming here just one time I have the.same.question!!! First of all, upon walking in, this place smells like deliciousness. Cream, ice cream, custard, cooked dough - it all permeates the air and you think you're in heaven. This place is tiny but gets the job done. There's a wraparound counter with ice cream on one side and an ordering counter on another. There's plenty of room behind the counter for the staff to move around easily and enough room on the customer side to form a line without being too cramped. There's also a few small tables along the walls and windows but these were all packed so we took our order to go. Mesmerized by all the smells, I knew I had to go all out with my order. While my girlfriends both ordered the Taiyaki with custard, I opted for one of the signature Taiyaki. I ordered the Classic Frenchie - French Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Custard Taiyaki, Pocky stick, Honey Bubble. Soooo delicious! It's the perfect mix of warm, melty, sweet, creamy - an absolutely perfect dessert. I enjoyed every last bite. Truly a great dessert. Can't wait to come back!

I had my first experience at Tea Leaf and Creamery, and I decided to go with the oolong milk tea with herb jelly. It was absolutely delightful, and as I savored it throughout the evening, I found that the large size was indeed a generous portion that perfectly refreshed my taste buds!

This is a such a cute little place in Decatur! Definitely on the smaller side, but it was a great place for my friend and I to hang out over snacks and bubble tea. The employees were so sweet even though it was super busy and overwhelming. The stayed calm and level headed and were kind to every customer that came through. They also offer a self service kiosk where you can order your food and drinks to help cut down the line a bit. I got the tiramisu milk tea and the coffee lovers taiyaki and both were so good! The milk tea was super creamy and just the right amount of coffee flavor. I got it at 70% sweetness and it was the perfect amount of sugar for me. The Taiyaki was really fluffy and delicious and the coffee ice cream went so well with the Nutella filling! I would definitely recommend this place if you haven't been before!

Nisha B.

Yelp
Loved this place! Ordered the handcrafted coco mango and it was so good we ordered a second one! I just wish it came in a size large! Sometimes the Crystal bubbles in it could be a little much but overall it was tasty. The inside had plenty of tables and service was quick! I would definitely be back!

James L.

Yelp
The mango marble tea tasted really good and creamy, but I feel like you don't really taste the tea. I can imagine the drink would taste the same without the tea. But I guess if I wanted something that tasted more tea, then I should get something more simple? The Thai milk tea tasted ok and just as I would expected but not extraordinary. I like the flavor of their drinks just that I wish the tea flavor was not lost.

We were craving some good bubble tea while exploring the Decatur area. This place was open late and thought we should give it a shot. The lady at the counter was quick, took our orders and gave some suggestions that we all ordered. She did forget boba on one of our drinks and when we went back someone from the food service area started yelling and said we need to pay for it. We did go back to counter but did not verify our previous tab. The experience was unnecessarily a downer on our evening and do believe the food service guy/manager could Have been more customer service friendly. Back To The drinks - none of our choices were good. The matcha appreciate taiyaki (ice cream With waffles shapedike The fish) was the best. We forgot To snag a pic as it was so good. Most Of my stars and my repeat visit would be for trying more taiyaki

I do not have anything bad to say about this bubble tea shop. As an Emory-affiliated ATLien, this is what we call one of our "neighborhood boba" spots. It is in both driving & reasonable walking distance from the main campus. There are peak times and times when the shop isn't as busy. If you don't want to encounter a long line, I would definitely avoid going during the weekend evenings. I usually order the Brown Sugar Marble Bubble Tea, Thai Tea, Matcha Tea, or either of the Four Seasons Fruit Teas. I also like to grab a taiyaki + ice cream combo from time to time. I'm pretty sure they use Bruster's as their ice cream vendor because I know the birthday cake flavor to a T.

Tea leaf is one of my favorite boba places in Atlanta! Especially as this location is extremely conveniently located to Emory. All their teas are delicious, and they make all their drinks with fresh ingredients, so it can't be beat. I personally like their jellies as toppings, since they're a great texture and taste and are made in house! Drinks almost always come out very quickly, especially if there is no wait. The seating area is really cute, but it can definitely get crowded and loud during peak times when the school lets out. Usually plenty of (free) parking in the parking lot. Highly recommend!

such a great spot for a snack or dessert. the drinks are refreshing and delicious and so is the custard in the waffles!!

amazing place with the best ice cream. was super busy and packed today but the employees were super quick and kind! got the caramel cheesecake cookie monster ice cream and it was crazy good!

Yelp
The only place in ATL that serves fresh Taiyaki + IceCream. Located super close to Emory U, this tiny desert shop serve delicious fresh made Taiyaki+IceCream and Bubble Tea. We opted for their Custom Taiyaki+IceCream. You pick a Tiiyaki filling, 2 scoops of icecream and 3 topping. And they arrange all of that into a cute display in a tiny cup. The taiyaki, freshly made, smells like fresh cookies. Crispy on the outside, fluffy, with a warm custard or nutella filling. It pairs well with the ice cream. Sort of like a dollop of ice cream on a waffle. The first bites and spoonful will have you tilting your head back, eyes closed... mmmmmmmmmm so good

Vanessa L.

Yelp
Been coming here for years and never had a bad experience!!! Their drinks/teas are delicious in addition to their ice cream and taiyaki combo. My usual is the classic Frenchie, with is ice cream with one of the taiyaki waffles. They always come out super warm, with tons of boba, and pocky sticks. The restaurant has a cute vibe and is very clean, and my friends and I come often!!

Love the design, love the concept, and love the options! However, needs just a little bit more taste _________________________________________________________ PARKING | [The parking situation can be a little hectic at times because the parking lot is a little small. There are other spots around the area but when the place gets busy, parking is tough.] ________________________________________________________ EXTERIOR & INTERIOR | [The outside of the business is a little hard to find because it is in an old store complex near Emory university. The sign on the outside of their building is in a fair visual point so you definitely want to look out for it when finding the building. The interior of the building is simple and creative in its own style. Very bright in white and nature feel to it.] _________________________________________________________ IS IT CLEAN? | [For a shop that is small and is a quick in-and-out store, yes. It stays pretty clean the majority of the time.] _________________________________________________________ FOOD & DRINKS | [The bubble tea selection, is honestly great! I got the Matcha latte and Dragon tea, but however, the taste wasn't all there where I was satisfied by wondering if I will go back and get another. They have great options and the atmosphere is awesome, but the taste was the only thing that was really lacking in the tea itself.] _________________________________________________________ SERVICE ‍‍| [The staff was very nice and knew exactly what they were doing the whole time. Very helpful and friendly.] _________________________________________________________ OVERALL | [The tea shop is great and the design was throughout. Even their cups was well designed and its quality is amazing. Again, the taste wasn't all there for me and wasn't getting that nice, refreshing, sweet taste that you want in a tea where you want another one.]

Great ice cream and waffles. Would definitely recommend. Only reason I did not give 5 stars is for lack of toppings. Otherwise, fantastic!

One of the best boba shops in ATL for sure - I've been here twice and plan on going back for even more. Their menu is massive and there's so many drinks that I wanna try! I've gotten the Brown Sugar Marble Bubble and the Mango Pomelo Sago. Their MPS is actually my all time favorite non-milk tea drink. It's addictingly good - usually I only drink half of my boba at a time but I drank that thing so fast and it was a large. It's refreshing, got a perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the crystal boba is a nice mixup from the regular pearls. I've also tried their custard taiyaki and it was hecka good, like wow. Given the small size of this place it's probably best that you take your boba to go - this is definitely not the shop to study at or post up in with your friends. It is on the more expensive side but I say it's worth it, especially if you've never been here before. Already thinking about the next drink I'll be getting...

Top Boba place in Atlanta. Ordered the Mango Ice Cream Fusion.

I've been to this location and the Buford Hwy one, and the popularity seems to be consistent. The quality seems to be on par as well. Some of their drinks are better than others; I didn't like their watermelon slush as a summer special awhile back because the flavor was weak (watered down). Their milk teas are so so. The other specialty tea categories seem to be their stronger selling point. Overall though, there's a more premium feel with this place (both drinks and snacks). The prices are definitely a little more compared to other bubble tea spots (even their Buford Hwy location). One drink is an average of $5 to $6 after taxes and tips, and that's based on the medium size without adding toppings.

Alejandra L.

Yelp
I drive for around an hour to get to the place "was it worth it?" Yes it is, it really has good drinks and the taiyaki is good, even my brother (who came with me the first time I went to the place) who is really picky when it comes to these places also enjoy it. Definitely worth the drive!

As a first time visitor in Atlanta, I was told to check out Tea Leaf and Creamery. Apparently this is the spot to get your boba fix in if you're in the Decatur area. And honestly the line was no joke! Everyone and their mom was in this line and it was like 10 pm. Their Super Fruit Green Tea was pretty good, even after sitting for a while during the drive. I would recommend to fruit tea lovers. I also tried the 60 second Cherry Blossom Tea, which was came with a cheese foam, which was amazing. I thought it was pretty interesting, so I gave it a try and truthfully it did not disappoint! I also had the chance to try the crispy taiyaki fish with custard, which I thought was okay. I noticed a lot of people trying it with ice cream, but I stuck to the custard, which was decent. It's open-faced, so the custard is still hanging out, and you don't get too much of it as opposed to if it was filled. Custard had good flavor, however, a bit buttery and melted into the fish. Overall, the service is pretty good, line moves swiftly. I came back twice in a day!

Anna P.

Yelp
I've been here twice and the line seems long since the store is pretty small. They have good boba here. This time, I ordered the brown sugar marble boba. The marble boba already comes with the pearls and you can only order a medium. Next time I come, I want to try their ice cream. Pro tip, order ahead online or use the kiosk if you're in a rush.

Karisa P.

Yelp
This place is so good! So many options, which is a bit overwhelming at first but I feel like you can't really go wrong. The cashier seemed a bit annoyed when I asked for preferences but I'm sure she probably gets a lot of questions so no worries. I still enjoyed what I picked and will be back!

FIRST AND LAST TIME HERE! Location: VERY small. Service: Those making the drinks were moving fast. However, they were moving so fast that the quality of the drinks weren't good at all. They were rushing to get the orders out, but they still could've taken the time to make the drinks good. The cashier (white girl) Angela, wasn't very friendly. She rushed me to order and I explained to her that I was looking for a Mango or Pineapple type of Tea but wasn't sure of the proper name. Her customer service SUCKED! She wasn't friendly at ALL. She didn't greet me, told me to hold on while she stopped in front of me to doing something else(no they wasn't understaffed this day). Her demeanor wasn't inviting.

Tea Leaf is incredibly popular for a reason. They have a ridiculously large drink menu, so whatever your extremely specific tastes are for boba and boba-related beverages, they probably have what you're into. They also tend to have whatever trendy beverages are around these days, like the cheese foam and whatnot. I personally always go for the yakult drinks, because they're one of the few options on the drink menu without caffeine (I don't know how yall are having caffeinated beverages in the evening and managing to sleep). The passionfruit yakult is my personal favorite and I love it with the grass jelly or lychee jelly. Their custard taiyaki is also really nice. We love stopping here for dessert after getting dinner at Tenya just a few steps away.

Jing L.

Yelp
One of my go to spots for bubble tea aside from Tea Top. I normally always get the purple yam marble bubble (milk tea) and they make it just right! I also really like the mango Pamela sago which is my new favorite. Definitely recommend checking it out if you haven't been.

Sue K.

Yelp
There is limited parking by the store. There is a variety of drinks available, smoothies, yogurt, milk tea, fruit tea, and ice cream as well! I've been here three times now and loved it the first two times. The drinks were delicious. This time I ordered a fresh grapefruit yakult: it was refreshing and I liked the taste, not too sour. But there were some hard pieces that felt like plastic in the drink. Could be the grapefruit? But definitely made drinking it less desirable. But this is the first time I've had this issue, so didn't want to take away from the overall rating.

Isabel W.

Yelp
Came here because I was craving boba (per usual) and saw that it was close by AND had great reviews by a couple of yelpers that we trust (shout Acelyn and Mark A.!). My husband and I got the mango smoothie per their recommendation as well as the avocado smoothie (both with less sugar) and they were sooooo good. The mango smoothie is available all year-long (we tried to get peach but they said it was out of season) which make me think they must use some sort of canned fruit? But it didn't taste artificial. Highly recommend the mango (5/5). The avocado smoothie had a slightly floral taste which I didn't mind at all. It was creamy and good as well (4/5). Would definitely stop by again!

Lauren L.

Yelp
I got the mango pomelo Sago. I got the 70% sweet but I'd recommend to go down to maybe 50% or less since the drinks run a tag bit sweet. However the drink was refreshing and flavorful. This drink specifically was $8 so alittle on the higher side. *make sure to sign up w your phone number and you get a free topping for that for your first time*

Allison K.

Yelp
Taiyaki is crispy, warm, and satisfying as it's cooked to order. The custard is amazingly velvety. I got birthday cake ice cream, fruity pebbles, and coconut shavings to go along with it. The decor is pretty nice and homey. Also, this place can get packed sometimes as it's popular among locals.

Monica L.

Yelp
This place was PACKED on a weekend afternoon and we were short on time so we decided to order using the self-order kiosk. It was a bit confusing to order from as they had a few codes that were clearly for employees to understand rather than customers, so I don't think my partner got the correct drink he envisioned in his head. Instead of marble taro, he got taro milk tea which was basically milk tea with blitzed chunks of taro and a sad attempt at marbling (washed away by the tea). I had a cheese foam tea, which was actually light and quite lovely, but I do wish their boba was a bit sweeter. I know some places soak their boba in syrup or cook it in brown sugar, but this was rather bland. Overall, I was satisfied enough with this place, but the chaotic lines and not-very-user-friendly self-order kiosk throws a dampener on things.

I loved this spot!! Very cute almost like a hole in the wall place with it being in a small plaza. This was the first time I tried creme brûlée matcha drink and it was delish! It was so creamy and perfect. They use the same cream as they put in the taiyaki Which was also delicious and warm. I didn't get a photo of it but it was great a snack size is $2.50 with the cream was an extra 0.75- worth it though!! The menu is extensive and doesn't offer much description about each item which would be my only critique for people who are not aware of what each item is but the staff was kind and can explain it all. Overall 5/5 I will return when I'm in the area again!

Grace L.

Yelp
Emory hot spot that serves decent boba, though the overpricing is crazy. The egg waffle or the matcha is our favorite.

Jessica L.

Yelp
Cute place with a few tables inside and outside. There's a shared parking lot right outside... may be hard to find space as the place was packed each time we drove by it. This cafe was also very understaffed when we were there....only two people serving nearly 10 customers. We had to wait about 10+ minutes to get 3 drinks. Their menu has MANY choices. Got the Cheese Foam Uji Matcha ($4.95 for a medium). I also asked for 50% sweetness and less ice and those requests were followed (not very sweet and just a handful of ice). This was my first time having cheese foam and don't really prefer the saltiness/extra creaminess .... Probably won't get it again, but that isn't the cafe's fault. I like that the containers are sturdy and of good quality. They have napkins, straws, and cup sleeves nearby if you need them. Would love to try some of its other items

We enjoyed the food and drink we had at Tea Leaf and Creamery in North Decatur. With a generic-sounding name, what differentiates Tea Leaf and Creamery from most other bubble tea shops in metro Atlanta are: 1. Location. Located near Emory University, there wasn't a Buford-Highway-quality bubble tea joint in this part of town until now. Tea Leaf set up shop in the old Jamba Juice space in the strip mall with the FedEx Office and Willy's at the highly-trafficked intersection of Clairmont and N Decatur Rds. They opened in May 2020. 2. Ice cream. At the time of our visit, the "creamery" part of this business offered a dozen flavors of ice cream, from Matcha Green Tea to Rocky Road, and over 20 toppings including Pocky sticks and Kit Kat bars. 3. Taiyaki and egg waffles. More and more bubble tea places in metro Atlanta are serving taiyaki and egg waffles. Tea Leaf and Creamery emphasizes their taiyaki. Their logo is taiyaki with a scoop of ice cream on top, which is exactly what you can get here. We had Tea Leaf's Custard Taiyaki and they were outstanding. I highly recommend them. The textures and flavors were perfect. The breading was warm, crispy, and delicious. It wasn't too greasy. And the custard filling was rich and luscious. Just terrific. If you're not familiar with taiyaki, it's a Japanese pastry shaped like a fish that's fried and comes with fillings - typically red bean or custard - and toppings like scooped ice cream or soft serve. Several bubble tea shops and Asian bakeries and cafes in metro Atlanta serve mini taiyaki that are "closed" with the filling inside. Tea Leaf is the first place I've encountered in the area that serves standard, hand-held-sized taiyaki with openings for fillings and toppings. In this sense, one taiyaki is much like an ice cream cone, except fresher and tastier. Our Custard Taiyaki were made fresh in Tea Leaf's taiyaki machine. They have an open display kitchen so you can watch the staff make your taiyaki. The taiyaki starts at $2.50 apiece with most "Signature Taiyaki" $5.95 each. There were eight Signature Taiyaki options, each featuring a filled taiyaki base with ice cream and two toppings (preset combinations). Since we got our taiyaki to-go, we didn't opt for one of the Signature options nor ice cream because it would've been too messy to transport. The taiyaki are served in laminated paper sleeves (standard) so your fingers don't get oily. Another food item we tried was Tea Leaf's Egg Waffle. They start at $3 each. We got ours with Nutella and I'm not sure if they charged us for it. Like the taiyaki, Tea Leaf's egg waffles are cooked fresh and you can watch the staff prepare the egg waffles at the counter. Our Nutella Egg Waffles were simple yet delicious. Again, like the taiyaki, the egg waffles had excellent taste and texture. Warm, crisp, and comforting. Each bite was addictive. Even plain, these things are yummy. They're kind of like doughnuts, but less sweet. If you've never had an egg waffle before, I suggest you try one. We also got some drinks. I had a few. I had a Handcrafted Mango Coco (medium, $5.95), a Taro Marble Bubble (medium, $5.25), and a 60'Sec Sea Salt Cheese Foam Cherry Blossom Oolong Tea (medium, $4.75) with regular bubbles (+$0.60). All of the drinks were very good. I couldn't stop drinking each of them, so that should tell you how much I liked them. I had intended to save one of the drinks for later, but I ended up drinking everything the same night (poor self control on my part). These particular drinks are available in medium size (500 mL or 16.9 oz) only. Large drinks are 700 mL or 23.7 oz. The Handcrafted Mango Coco is one of Tea Leaf's fruit teas. It was a nice mix of both fruity and creamy and there were jellies inside too. Of the drinks I tried, this was my favorite. The Taro Marble Bubble drink was one of five Marble Bubble selections. I think these are the equivalent of what other bubble tea shops call their Brown Sugar Boba drinks, with the layers of boba, syrup, milk, and tea. The Taro Marble Bubble drink from Tea Leaf wasn't the best I've had of this type of drink, but it wasn't bad either. Still worth a shot, in my opinion. The 60'Sec Sea Salt Cheese Foam Cherry Blossom Oolong Boba Tea (yep, the name is a mouthful) was good. In general, I'm a fan of the salty cheese foam drinks because I like to mix the foam into the tea to give the drink more flavor as well as a richer, frothier, and creamier texture that is unique to these drinks. My wife doesn't like it as much, so it's a personal preference. This drink had more oolong tea taste with subtle floral notes. I noticed the bubbles in this drink were golden bubbles. Both the bubbles in this drink and the Taro Marble Bubble drink were more firm than I prefer. The "60'Sec" in the name refers to the time that the tea bags are boiled in the water. Tea Leaf uses real organic milk (with lactose). I counted 66 drink and 18 topping options on the menu. Service was fine.

Located in a shopping center with plenty of parking. This place offers a different twist on the conventional ice cream shop. This is what I ordered Fish shaped "waffle cone": this was very good and I love the texture!!! The outside is a very thin crispy crunch but the rest is soft and moist like the consistency of pound cake . It was sweet but not too sweet m. the only thing I did not like about it doesn't hold a lot of ice cream. It only holds about two spoonfuls of ice cream. when I ordered it I thought that my ice cream was going to go in the fish but it wasn't deep enough. You have the choice to add custard or Nutella as you're feeling. I didn't get either. My ice cream flavor was strawberry I like that it had actual strawberry pieces in it. The only thing about the ice cream I did not like was you could not mix the flavors. For example I wanted one scoop of strawberry and a scoop of cookie dough but the cashier told me that is against their policy. Then you get to choose up to three toppings. I chose Oreo cookie crumbles. I like that the Oreos were not stale I run into that a lot where people add cookie pieces and they're stale. There are about 12 to 15 different toppings you can choose from like nuts etc. This is a great little place and I would definitely come back they have a mango smoothie that I want to try with actual mango pieces in it. Also since they wouldn't let me combine more than one ice cream flavor I still have a taste for cookie dough ice cream lol Btw... There are a few small tables inside to sit at but no available outside seating.

If you are looking for a great tea spot that has high quality drinks and the place is simply adorable, look no further and come to tea leaf and creamery. Located in Doraville, we had dessert and tea here after having hotpot next door. The salt cheese foam milk tea is to die for! The saltiness compliments the creamy milk tea so well! Of all the tea places in Atlanta, it has to be my number one right now. You can adjust ice, sweetness, etc. I can't wait to try the other stuff on their menu, I am sure they are all phenomenal.

Stopped by this boba spot for the first time and definitely will come back again! I ordered at the kiosk and I didn't have to wait long for my order to be ready. The drinks were all good and the ice cream too!

There are sooo many options on this huge menu! It took me a while to decide, I chose a yogurt tea and it was really good. The cashier was good at explaining differences between the drinks. They also serve taiyaki and Ice cream. There's a nice area to sit down while you wait or eat.

It's unfortunate to have a soft opening during times like these but Tea Leaf has proven to be resilient. But I knew I had to check them out when I saw their soft opening sign. I've tried a few drinks now, from the creme brûlée uji matcha and the mango smoothie tea to the purple yam marble bubble... there are both caffeinated and non-caffeinated options that are all Insta-worthy and tasty! I've yet to see the long anticipated soufflé. I ask every time I go, and after a year of promising that it will be here soon, I don't believe they will be introducing it anymore?? So maybe remove it from the menu... Instead, I ordered a taiyaki ice cream - standard, I enjoyed it, although it seems my dog enjoyed it more than me when I found out she ate half of it when I wasn't looking... **facepalm** I'm just glad I didn't add chocolate! Looks like a location is coming to Doraville soon so I can't wait to see if they are bringing the soufflé to the location closer to my house!

If you are more of a sweet tooth boba person or love more untraditional flavors, this is the place for you. Flavors such as tiramisu or cookies and cream boba are unique to this place. I wish there were more tea options such as jasmine or oolong tea without milk but other places in Atlanta serve best for those. The taiyaki ice cream is so good and reasonably priced for how much you get. The prices for the boba can be steep but are decently sized. I personally recommend the handcrafted coco mango for anyone lactose-intolerant/not into super milky drinks. The drinks are a bit on the sweeter side so I would take that into account when deciding sugar levels.

Tea leaf creamery was a pleasant surprise! What sets them apart from boba places is the fresh fruit tea options. They only serve ice creams! I got to try melon drink with guava jelly. The drink was made to perfection and tasted delicious. It keeps you wanting to go back aka addictive ;) Decent prices and service. Would recommend to go check them out!
