5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Food: The selection available here is outstanding! Between the drink options and the general store merchandise, there is so much to look at; so many new things to try. My go-to was an iced Thai milk tea with boba, but I recently tried the taro milk tea and now I’m hooked lol. This last visit, I had my daughter with me and she asked if they had a regular chocolate shake (they don’t), but the employee that was taking our order was incredibly sweet and helped us pick out something that would work. She made a chocolate banana shake and just omitted the banana, as well as added frozen strawberries on top for my daughter; it was delicious. One of my favorite things to get as well is the matcha mochi; I’m so glad they carry them!
Service: Every time we’ve been in, the employees are wonderful. We’re greeted with a smile and positive attitude as well as patience. They are quick and efficient when preparing your order. This last visit, one incredibly sweet employee even came out to give my daughter quarters (from her own wallet) for the claw machine. She most definitely went above and beyond <3
Ambiance: It’s quaint and cozy inside. It’s pretty well organized and kept very clean. There aren’t too many tables to sit at, so it can get crowded if it’s busy, but it never really seems to be an issue. The variety of items available is awesome as well as the large selection of freshly made-to-order drinks. They have frozen items that you’re able to warm up and eat there as well. This is a great little spot for people that want to get some work done also; it’s like a little coffee café, just better. The overall noise level can get a bit elevated, but headphones can easily cancel it out if you’re sitting down inside.

Tea time is hands down the best boba around ! The boba is so tasty and chewy, as well as the tea being very refreshing and fruity 🍓🍑🍉!! Staff is always friendly and recommend their favorites when I struggle choosing what to get. I definitely recommend coming here with their variety of choices and snacks !! 🧋🥟

This shop has a lot of cute items and snacks that you can't get really anywhere else in Ames! Mochi, different flavors of chips, different types of Ramen, etc. It's also very cute inside.
However, the main reason I would go here is for it's Boba. And I just felt like it wasn't that great. My wife and I both got a different Boba flavor and they both had weird tastes to them. The Tapioca Pearls were also a little too soft and not at all chewy, which added to the weirdness.
If you're shopping for cute snacks this place is great, but if you want Boba then it's always worth to go to 1+1 just a few blocks away

Great service and even better boba!

I love Tea Time! All of the drinks are amazing, I always try to get something new each time and I’m never disappointed! The imported snacks are all so fun! I love buying their citrus tea & matcha milk tea options to make at home (HIGHLY recommend trying them!). The owner and workers are all sweet and the atmosphere of the place is so fun!
Delicious gyoza and milk tea, love this place. Can also shop for some Japanese snacks and teas, dishes, etc to go. The sign is so cute, I really hope they get t shirts.

Tea time. It’s not just only the drink that make the people come back. It’s the good costumer service and how they welcome you , it’s a play where you can sit down enjoying your drinks and playing games with your friends, family but mostly being at a place we’re it bring back so much memories I really enjoy the service 🫶🏻

Food is great, but they only offer snacks. Drinks are always amazing, the staff is very friendly, and they have lots of options for Asian snacks and drinks.
