| - I absolutely LOVE this new place. It is situated right next to CoCo BBT and across from snow time. I wouldn't have noticed it if a friend had not told me about it. I would say this place is a mix of a BBT place and a tea place. You can definitely add various toppings to your drinks (eg. pearl, red bean, coconut jelly), but the milk tea isn't so powdery like other bbt places. LaTea Era actually specializes in cheese and salty crown drinks and this is something I never had before. Actually, I didn't know what "cheese crown" was, but the staff there was very friendly and told me that it is basically cheesecake in liquid form on top of your milk tea. Not surprisingly, their only dessert is cheesecake (go figure!). Also, I really like how they display the different tea leaves in teabags (e.g. rose oolong, spring oolong, chamomile oolong) to show that their teas aren't just made with a simple teabag.
They displayed the Top 5 Recommendations and of course, I chose #1 - which was cheese crown milk tea ($4.7). I asked for extra hot and 50% sweetness. Unfortunately, it was still too sweet for me because I usually don't add sugar, but I wanted to try it as original as possible. The cheese crown was absolutely delicious! It added SO much sweetness and saltiness to my tea :) I LOVED it. I thought the price was great too. In fact, I pay the same price for non-cheese crown drinks in other bbt places.
The seats were comfortable. They have a lot of outlets so it is an ideal place to get some work done (if you use a laptop). There's also a charging station near the cashier/ordering area if you need it. There are some promotions happening right now (e.g. 50% off for students between 3-7pm and $1 milk tea BBT on Fridays and Saturdays). Also, if you post a picture of your drink on Instagram, you get 2 bonus vicinity points!
There are SO many other drinks that I want to try such as Lime Passion Green Tea, Oreo Puff Cream Milk Tea and the Strawberry slush with cheese crown. I also want to try the salty crown to see how it is different from the cheese crown. And therefore, for these reasons, I would DEFINITELY come back!
