Yaya Tea is one of my favorite places to get a quick, fulfilling snack when I’m at work! I love that they have crawfish onigiri (it’s probably my favorite out of all the ones I tried) and their Thai iced tea is soooo good! Def a must try 🫶🏾

Great tea and a nice respite from all the noise of the city. Flavors are pumped but tasty, and I loved the strongly flavored lychee nata. The onigiri is also tasty, nicely sized, and tastes fresh. Prices are a good deal for 2025, about $5.50 per drink plus tip/tax. The interior is cool and calm with a few tables and a lovely minimalist aesthetic.

Great tea at a good price! The guy working accidentally gave me a small instead of a large, but totally understandable since I was ordering so close to closing time. He was super apologetic and kind enough to remake it for me.
