"A small bubble milk tea shop near the GWU campus that is a hidden gem. Besides their delicious milk tea flavors (although their tea could be stronger) and perfectly chewy pearls/boba, what I think they excel at are their croissants.We tried their boba croissant and their monk temple tofu croissant, both of which were quite delicious.The atmosphere of the restaurant is really nice and they decorate for each season (and have seasonal drinks). There's limited seating inside and a few tables outside, so most people usually have orders to go. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, although there are 2 kiosks as well from which one can place an order.Another specialty of theirs is the rabbit foam that can top a drink. Unfortunately, they weren't able to do that when we came, but otherwise, for $3 it adds a cool aesthetic.Note that their secret milk tea is a version of black tea with their own blend of milk (simple syrup and milk). It was on the sweeter side even with 50% sugar, so take heed."

First time in DC and loving it. My daughter found thus place after a nice walk at the Capitol of United States. We had the pulled pork croissant and it's amazing even though it's slightly salty. Still recommend to anyone ??

This is my favorite bubble tea spot on this side of DC! I adore all the different flavors, and I appreciate that they update the menu for each season. The staff is always friendly, and the ambiance is charming. Plus, the prices are quite reasonable compared to other places in Georgetown and beyond.

First time here and I like the coffee jelly drink and it was quite affordable considering it’s in DC. The coffee jelly is a must if you order this drink perfect texture. I wish they gave more of the jelly. The drink itself was perfect not too sweet or underwhelming. I will come back for their pastries. View menu

WOW. New favorite bubble tea place. I travel quite a distance just to go there. Kind, friendly staff serving the best tea try Guava yakult and mango) and phenomenal pastries, carefully warmed up for you. Do not miss the boba croissant! You will probably need a spoon so you don’t miss a single soft yummy boba..

This is a fantastic little boba tea, drink, and pastry shop. I've only tried the bubble tea, and it's consistently been excellent. The staff is also very friendly. Just a heads-up: they tend to add a lot of sugar, so at 100% sweetness, the flavors start to blend together. Other than that, it's a wonderful spot that I definitely recommend, and they accept GWorld!

The tea was very good, but cost almost $8 with boba, an oat milk substitution, and a tip, which seems a bit high.The ordering system is pretty easy no people involved! Just scroll through the menu and land on what you like. The only issue is that the space is small and the menu is high up with little writing, so kind of hard to figure out what you want before getting to the ordering screen. For the price, I'm definitely not gonna make it a regular thing. View menu

Overall, I would rate this place a 3.5 out of 5. I ordered a large hot Oolong milk tea with boba (50% sweetness) for $6.45, including tax. They only offered large and giant sizes, with the latter costing extra. Unfortunately, the 50% sweetness was still too sweet for my taste. The milk flavor dominated the Oolong tea, and the boba was quite mushy. Despite the positive reviews, I recommend trying a different drink. Coming from the Bay Area, where there are many boba shops, I found this place didn’t meet the quality I expected for the price.

Coffee was cold, prices on the screen are different from the price charged. Not that great. You really need to do better especially that you are right next door to Starbucks. Sorry but this was my first and last time. $7.79 for a cold tasteless coffee and it took her almost 15 minutes to prepare it. Never again!Just to clarify I don't care about 75 cents, the coffee was tasteless. It was supposed to contain hazelnut flavor, it was cold definitely not 170 degrees. I asked the lady to warm it up. Honestly after waiting for that long and I was the only customer, I just regret going to secreTea. You have huge competitors, I encourage small businesses all the time but you really need to step up y...
