Ocha Time Tea Creamery - Charlotte

This spot is so much more than bubble tea and I was drawn in by some of their unique offerings.My husband and I shared: Berry Crunch Bubble Waffle with Ube Soft Serve and Mochi, substitute Oreo for Fruity Pebbles Dark Brown Sugar Milk TeaI loved the bubble waffle. These aren't common in Charlotte and they have Ube ice cream which makes it even better. The milk tea was good as well.I'd love to come back for the Taiyaki too.

My daughter and I went to Ocha at 3 pm on a random Tuesday, and half of their menu was covered in Sold Out post-it notes. We ordered two rolled ice creams (the only ice cream available) and the mini taiyaki fish cakes with Nutella. As the employee was adding the toppings to our ice cream, she discovered they were also out of whipped cream. While I don 't especially enjoy the texture of rolled ice cream, I can appreciate that the ingredients are fresh and the orders are made in front of you. You can expect to wait 3-5 minutes per order, so be patient if you 're with a larger group.

Went up here to check it out and have a taste with my teenage daughter who had seen this place was hiring. The drinks tasted ok, a little watery. The parking situation here is a challenge but that’s not Ocho’s fault. We were able to park down the street and it was fine. The person who was our cashier was rude. My daughter asked her about hiring as we ordered and she repeated the question, but did not answer it. No smiles from the staff. Watching the ice cream freeze process was fun. We likely won’t go back.

I’ve been to Ocha Time Tea Creamery a few times in Charlotte NC. I had a bubble tea once and it was very good. I also had the matcha Taiyaki which is ice cream that comes with the waffle fish cone. I wanted to get that yesterday but they didn’t have it available. I ended up getting the Nutella rolled ice cream. It was very good. Everyone is super friendly there. The service is a little slow but it’s worth it to me to wait. Everything is always very fresh also and it’s very clean. Will definitely go back again especially, now that it’s getting hot!!

Stop by Ocha time for some rolled ice cream. They also have coconut milk alternatives.
