They only serve drinks and ice cream so far. They open at 6pm. They have one non dairy option, a mango sorbet I believe.

Really nice place. They took extra steps to make the experience very special for us newcomers. Drinks were good but a little too sweet for me. I'd prob ask for half sweet next time but presentation, decorations, vibe, and services are awesome!

It was a VIBE. If you are a lover of the mystical and fantasy ambience then this your place. If you love GOT, Harry Potter, Disney then you will loveeeee Elixir Tea Bar. Their boba drinks are super yummy and served in fun cocktail cups. The only thing that was a bummer is that they don't serve food (yet) and we were starving. However, the owners said they're currently working on a food menu! The design and ambience of the place is superb. You can tell a lot of thought and passion was put into it! There was interactive games and karaoke, which was super fun. I recommend doing the wizard test bubble challenge it was super fun! Elixir tea bar is a speakeasy vibe, so when you are in the strip mall make sure to look up. You will spot it! Its on the 2nd floor. My sister and I totally loved Elixir. Highly recommend you visit! Wizards Welcome

This place is amazing!! Everyone here was so friendly, welcoming, and put so much of their creative genius into making this place special. The decor inside was gorgeous, and all the drinks we tried were amazing.

Really beautiful and fun. Considering the $100 membership! The ambiance and decor and music and costumes are truly magical. If you're a fan of RPGs, tabletops, HP, DnD, Quincy's Tavern, etc... you'll love this place! The boba was hard to sip but that's such a minor issue. I just noticed other reviewers mentioned it and I too experienced this. I do wish the drinks were as memorable as everything else. Sadly, kind of typical and not unique flavors. Still taste great though! The ice cream has a wider variety! I loved the pistachio ice cream! Happy belated birthday to Relikus the wizard! I believe the owner(?) also spoke to our table to check in on my group. Really friendly guy! I'll be coming back for more! Worth the long drive! FYI for those bringing kids or are easily embarrassed: You do have to walk past a sex toy shop and a smoke shop. The staircase is at the very entrance of the smoke shop. The sex shop is adjacent left outside. If you walk on the right side instead of the left you can avoid seeing the sex shop lol

The vibes were great, the ambience, the esthetics were beautiful, the waitresses & waiters were great. The drinks weren't the best but I didn't mind that much I honestly only went for the experience but I was very angered when they added 2 more items to my bill. I let her know & she denied one. She only removed one item of the check & also I had asked for 3 drinks to go & they brought them all for dine in until I had to remind them. So basically I paid for an extra drink for no reason & I wish they would've brought the ones to go once we were ready to leave cause by the time we left they were already watered down.

Fantastic atmosphere. What did leave an impression on us though was the service. Every employee seemed to enjoy their job.Oh also, there was a minor error in our check, they fixed it and in fact refunded more than what we were owed. Brilliant service!

A boba experience unlike anything you've ever had! Elixir Tea Bar was especially made for the wizard and witch fanbase who also enjoy boba at the same time as you can cast spells with your wands and snap cool photos along the way. The interactive staff members will walk around and spend time at each table helping out with casting imaginary spells with smoke and bubbles. The wait was about 20 minutes before we got our table. Great experience for the whole family and fun way to enjoy boba!

Took the wife and teenage son here for a round of bobas. The decor was absolutely delightful with references to fantasy for all ages (e.g. Harry Potter, The Princess Bride, Game of Thrones). The elven staff were well costumed and pretty attentive. The drinks themselves...they were pretty to look at but not good. The boba was almost impossible to suck up in the straws because they were so hard and clumped together. While my Oracle had a nice, strong matcha flavor, my wife's jasmine tea was incredibly tasteless. My son thought his caffeine-free Cirenity was pretty good, but I thought it was a bit too sweet. We all appreciated that they substituted the dairy in the drinks we ordered with either almond or oat milk at no additional charge. We were pretty disappointed with the wizard test. We knew it involved smoke bubbles and a wand, but nothing else. We did not realize it came with another drink (the amulet) which, if we had known, we would have requested it come with oat milk instead of dairy since I am allergic to dairy. And while our waitress who performed the test was pretty good at walking my son through how to do it, it didn't seem like she was prepared to handle the scenario that he couldn't direct the smoke bubble with his wand into his drink. She basically said he didn't pass the test and walked away. Huh? How about some kind of consolation prize, like putting a smoke bubble on the drink for him so he could at least see the drink with the bubble. Our elven waitress even asked if we had feedback. I told her the boba was too hard to drink. She acknowledged she heard me, but left without saying what she would do with that information. While it would have been nice if she offered to substitute the boba with something else, simply saying she was going to let the owner / manager know would have been fine. But given how many other reviewers on Yelp have said the same thing, I doubt anything will be done about it. This was a cafe I really wanted to give 5 stars, but the execution of actually running an experiential cafe fell flat. Menus weren't descriptive enough (what is Unicorn and Kraken style teas? What does the wizard test include?). The waitress even had to explain that the glasses pictured in the menu would not be the glasses we would actually be getting. Boba was not well prepared. The Jasmine green tea was flavorless. Our son got his drink at least 10 minutes before we got ours. The Wizard Test was disappointing. They ran out of ice cream and had no other things to snack on. They seriously need an Elrond with food service experience to lead them.

We had such a magical night here. ✨ ??? This place was in my bucket list and we happened to be in the neighborhood for dinner. They open until 11:30pm and it’s a nice place to grab a drink after dinner and hang out with friends. The owner and his brother are such entertainers. They are very friendly and made our experience extraordinary. We’ll definitely come back again.
