Tea Time was my go-to boba place, so you can imagine how sad I was when I heard they were closing... Until I heard that Aware Coffee & Tea Lounge was opening up by the same owners, then I was back to my happy self. I was really excited to see how the place looked and what they've added to the menu.
I think of Aware as Tea Time but the adult, mature version. I felt like this place grew with me from being a teen to an adult. The menu is definitely more "mature" too -- if you will. So far I've tried the taro boba (my favorite), iced lychee green tea, iced wildberry green tea, iced vietnamese cold brew, and iced mango green tea. All of which are MUST TRIES! All of their ingredients are fresh, especially the fruit teas. My favorite drinks are definitely the iced lychee green tea with lychee jelly (real fruit), iced wildberry green tea (real fruit), and the taro smoothie boba.
