My son wanted to try boba tea. After trying it he decided it wasn't his 'cup of tea', so to speak. I finished it. It was fresh and tasted great.The owner noticed my son wasn't thrilled with the boba tea. He thanked my son for trying it and gave him a complimentary ice cream. It was very thoughtful.I would give more stars for service if I could.

amazing bubble tea!! I went with friends who aren’t as crazy about milk teas as I am, and they were both able to get other drinks and add tapioca and popping pearls. lots of different drinks — teas, coffees, juices, slushies — and lots of different toppings! it was the perfect place to meet for a sweet treat.

Best shop for ice cream and boba tea. Cashier Nohemi greeted me, Gave me recommendations, Everything looked amazing, I ended up getting rolled ice cream. Presentation looked amazing and super beautiful. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sweet treat!!

So happy we were finally able to make it into Ocha Time! It's a cute little spot attached to Cilantro Noodle (which we also love). The soft serve was sooo creamy and delicious, and they had lots of fun toppings to choose from. I'd love to try one of the fish-shaped or bubble waffle cones soon! The only complaint I have is that we arrived at 8:40pm and they said they weren't serving rolled ice cream after 8:30 (they close at 9). We saw them serving one to someone right in front of us as we were walking in, so it was just a bit disappointing - but again, the soft serve was so good that we'll just need to come back soon!

Hours say 12-9, arrived at 12:15 and waited outside for an hour. No one came to the door and unlocked it even though there were workers inside.

So many options!!! And conveniently located right next to the pho restaurant. A great Boba tea place that also has other Asian dessert options, like the bubble waffle and the taiyaki. I will definitely be coming back for more!

Waited about 40 minutes for one ice cream because the person served 2 groups before me. Also didn’t tell me one of the ingredients in my order was out of stock until I asked where my order was. Will not be coming back.

I had the mango nada while eating lunch at cilantro. It was quit refreshing. Topped with mango and tajin with a Tamarindo straw. There are so many choices here. Teas, ice creams, etc. I think I'll try a tea and ice cream and pray for my stomach later , next thing time lol. Perfect spot to take the kids as well

This is the most convenient boba tea place to my house, so I checked it out for the second time ever today. First impression is that it's a good place to go if you're craving boba tea or rolled ice cream. It's attached to Cilantro Noodle, so you can make a two-for-one trip for Asian cuisine and boba tea! The parking lot is very small and it's surrounded by bars and restaurants, however they have reserved parking spots for them so that's convenient. I ordered the Dark Brown Sugar Milk Swirl with oat milk. The order came up as fast as lightening, granted there was no one there. I would definitely order it again, to prevent myself from ordering delivery at my favorite place across town, because that gets expensive. I don't think they are as generous with their boba pearls as some other places are. I usually run out of tea before pearls, and that was not the case at Ocha Time. The texture and flavor was on point though.

Nothing is overly sweet and they definitely do Japanese ice cream correctly. The inside is adorable and clean. One big down side of this place is the parking. It's located in Plaza Midwood so I usually have to walk a few blocks after searching for parking for at least 30 minutes. I guess it's a good way to burn off the calories you will be consuming. There is also a Vietnamese restaurant next door that this place share a wall (more like a window) with and we always creep on what the patrons at the restaurant are ordering. Overall, it's a great place to walk to and grab an ice cream or bubble tea.
Very good place to try tea. I had tried Vietnamese tea and it’s so good. Will definitely recommend to try this place for a good evening talk with some hot tea.

Great assortment of teas and drinks and ice cream.Parking: Parking is getting trickier in this area as it's begun to get converted to paid parking in some parts of plaza however thankfully ocha has some reserved free parking in the lot attached.

I got the dark brown sugar milk tea with pearls and it is AMAZING! I've had Boba all over the country but this place definitely does it authentically. The Tea tasted super fresh and isn't overpowering! They have weekly specials which you should take advantage of!The customer service was great and she mentioned the drinks are their most popular menu item! If you're in the Plaza Midwood area, definitely grab a sweet treat and support local businesses!

I got an iced coffee and an upside down taiyaki and they were both great. I really liked the taiyaki with Nutella it was warm and sweet. The soft serves also come with a few free toppings which is nice. I rated 3 stars because the place is very small and stuffy with only a few bar style seats. The girl who took my order was also not very friendly but the food itself is good.
