Tea Time 茶時代

sooooo good great food and fantastic boba. staff are lovely

Currently takeaway only like a lot of cafés nowadays but don’t let that stop you from visiting this darling café in the heart of Selly Oak specialising in boba tea. It’s hard to choose what to have as there are loads of options on the menu. I went with the Oreo milk tea with tapioca pearls and foam. You’re able to personalise your drink with the amount of ice and sweetness. I went with no added sugar, as oreos are sweet enough for me. It was the right choice and the drink was nicely balanced, the foam giving it a slight savoury edge and the sweetness of the pearls and cookies made for a nice balance of flavours. I’ve often ruined a perfectly good boba drink by not adjusting the sweetness level before ordering, so definitely consider this before ordering. The cups they serve the drinks in are really luxurious too compared with the cheap plastic ones you usually get from boba cafés. Rather than throw it away I’m going to keep mine and reuse it at home.

The bubble tea was really good. Had a simple brown sugar boba milk tea. The staff was quick with making my drink and the interior was super simple and cute too. Will definitely come back with some friends

Very nice bubble tea here, the taro milk tea in particular is lovely with plenty of tapioca. Wouldn't recommend any of the biscuit-based drinks (e.g. Oreo) as it all just sinks to the bottom of the cup and you don't really get the flavour mixed in with the tea. Perhaps it needed better mixing? Anyway, the staff were friendly and our drinks were made quickly.

I’ve been here since Day-1 it was only her and the boba’s. So proud of homegirl’s business growing with good food and reasonable prices in the area! Do the thin noodles!

Best bubble tea I've tried in Birmingham, deserves a lot more attention. Has a large variety of drinks, fast and friendly service. I'd recommend the drinks called Three brothers and The Brown Sugar Dirtea.

One of the best bubble teas I've had. I had a black sugar milk tea with tapioca and 50% less sugar, but was still a little sweet for my taste. The takeout cup is very strong, many others I've had have broken/exploded on a journey, but these cups are high quality. Nice interior design. The eat-in spots are limited (only 3 people max, by the window),!perhaps still due to covid. Fast service.

Loved! I wasn’t too sure what to get as the menu was so big but the lady serving helped me and a friend order! The brown sugar was yum and my friend enjoyed the Oreo one. Will defo be back
