Secretea - Washington DC

Great little boba, drink and pastry shop. I've only had the bubble tea and it's always been great. The workers are kind as well. Just know that they put a lot of sugar, to the point that at 100% sugar all the flavors taste basically the same. Aside from that, it's a great place that I would recommend (and takes GWorld!

Overall 3.5 rating. I got a large hot Oolong milk tea with boba (50% sweetness) for $6.45 (tax included). This place only had large (default) and giant (extra cost).Unfortunately, 50% sweetness here was still too sweet for me. The milk flavor overpowered the oolong tea and the boba was mushy.Place has great reviews though so I would recommend folks try a different drink.Coming from the Bay Area with lots of boba shops, this place didn’t match up to the quality I expected for the price.

My favorite bubble tea on this side of DC! I love all the flavors and that they change up the menu for the seasons. Always such nice workers and cute atmosphere. Also a decent price for bubble tea compared to elsewhere/georgetown etc.

First time in DC and loving it. My daughter found thus place after a nice walk at the Capitol of United States. We had the pulled pork croissant and it's amazing even though it's slightly salty. Still recommend to anyone ??

A small bubble milk tea shop near the GWU campus that is a hidden gem. Besides their delicious milk tea flavors (although their tea could be stronger) and perfectly chewy pearls/boba, what I think they excel at are their croissants.We tried their boba croissant and their monk temple tofu croissant, both of which were quite delicious.The atmosphere of the restaurant is really nice and they decorate for each season (and have seasonal drinks). There's limited seating inside and a few tables outside, so most people usually have orders to go. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, although there are 2 kiosks as well from which one can place an order.Another specialty of theirs is the rabbit foam that can top a drink. Unfortunately, they weren't able to do that when we came, but otherwise, for $3 it adds a cool aesthetic.Note that their secret milk tea is a version of black tea with their own blend of milk (simple syrup and milk). It was on the sweeter side even with 50% sugar, so take heed.
