I really appreciate their caffeine free and dairy free options without just being sugar water. They have very interesting flavors! Love this place.

I got their signature milk tea with boba and it was so bitter and astringent that I could only have a few sips of it.

Small lil tea shop that is so cute. Super kind and helpful service with amazing milk teas. The boba is excellent too. They were closed for like a week during the ice storm so come support if you can. Very tasty brown sugar and Thai milk teas!

Cute little tea shop right off of Alberta. I really liked the tea-forward menu (I don't like the ultra sweet boba teas). I decided to try the sea salt cream jasmine tea with boba and thought it was perfect! I'm not sure if the man working was the owner, but he was very friendly to everyone who came in and the drinks came out quickly. I will definitely be back!

This is by far the BEST boba place in Portland. You can really taste the high quality tea and real fruit in their drinks. The sweetness is just right and there are never artificial flavors. Their Strawberry Jasmine is a must-try, and their Tiki Classic is just that - a classic, authentic black tea with milk.This comes from someone who has tried hundreds of boba places in Socal, Portland, and Seattle. Tiki Tea is one of the very few places I go back to regularly because it's just that good.

Casual chill place, good music, friendly staff, good flavors. Wish they had non-disposable glasses/cups for dine-in though.

Unfortunately, they no longer serve any form of food (e.g., pastry, snacks, sandwiches). Tea drinks only.

Tiki Tea is a small boba shop right off of Alberta. Initially we missed it since the store isn't really visible on the main street, but after backtracking a bit we stopped in to get a drink.Tiki's Classic, Large 24 Oz, 50% Sweet w/ Boba ($6.50) - This drink consists of black tea mixed with half and half (milk substitutes are available) and sugar syrup. When we ordered the drink originally, the cashier told us that in case we needed to adjust the sweetness higher, there a bottle of syrup to the side for us to add as we saw fit. Luckily, the drink was pretty much perfect sweetness for us at 50% (it was a bit less sweet than most other places at 50%) - this added a slight sweetness but allowed the tea taste to come through. This particular tea was definitely higher quality than the low quality tea fannings you usually see boba shops use. It had a bit more of a black tea fragrance and retained some of the astringent notes. I don't think they put too much half and half in, since I couldn't really taste any dairy forward notes. In terms of the boba - as soon as the boba hit my tongue, it immediately reminded me of a hard marble given the smaller size. After I started chewing, I was glad to see my initial impression was incorrect, but it was definitely still harder than my usual preference and there were some pieces that were stuck together. it still had a decent chew that was serviceable for the drink. I especially love how Tiki Tea has a bottle of their syrup near the water dispenser so you can adjust the sugar levels to your liking. While we didn't end up using it, it was certainly appreciated. I've never seen this option before in any of the other 100+ boba shops I've visited.
A boba that doesn't use ANY syrup or powder?!?! I have found my favorite place for boba cravings. I ordered a mango passion fruit tea and it's sweetened with fresh mango chunks and passion fruit puree only - zero additional sugar needed. The staff member was so helpful and friendly and the decor is beautiful and relaxing with a wall of pothos in round glass vases. I wish I lived a little closer but maybe not as I'll end up here every day :).

I'm happy to see this place is still thriving! This was my go-to place for bubble tea in Portland pre-pandemic. So this recent visit was the first time in a few years, but I'm glad to see that is more or less that same as I remembered it. I like the calm vibes and earthy elements of the store as well as the friendly service.I got the Organic Uji Matcha with Oat Milk and Boba. You can tell by the deep green color of the matcha that the quality is great. The boba has a nice brown sugar sweetness with great chewy texture.Another favorite of mine is the Robust Ceylon Milk Tea. The tea has such a rich nutty flavor with a hint of spice and sweetness. There aren't other tea spots that make this kind of tea, at least not that I've found.

One of the worst milk tea experiences I had. The smoothie has a weird texture. And the milk tea also tastes

It's such a cute place! The wall had a lot of small plants and it was so pretty! And the drinks are so good. I got brown sugar match and horchata Ceylon. The employees were so nice too!

Fantastic bubble tea place. Service is always friendly and really recommend. For our budget, when you factor in the extras (like boba) and tip it’s a bit of a pricey treat, especially for two. So we try not to go so often. But it’s a great place, especially during a hot day.
