tea shop express

special note for being the only 5-star bubble tea shop i've rated on zomato! more photos in blog :)

i think this is the busiest bubble tea store in sydney. and for good reason. it offers two large servings for the price of one every day and it would be very easy to say this is the reason why it’s so popular. but good tea always trumps cheap tea and so does tea shop express offer more than just the latter?

at this point, their 2 for the price of 1 tea offer has become legendary and with good reason! using actual tea leaves that have more flavour than the usual overly sweet sugar milk of most milk tea chains, tea shop express provides customers with above standard tea in a much larger cup than usual at less than half the price of its competitors. they provide a fairly interesting range of flavours and are easily the tea shop with the highest value and quality for money in sydney. the only downside is that their popularity has skyrocketed and there is always a decent line for the shop (but they're also fairly prompt with making the tea so it's not too bad!)

this place is crazy good pay them $8 and u will have food orgasm at right there at town hall station like god damm it good must are taro and caramel

very close to town hall train exit.i chose taro milk tea,just so so.while my friend select 2018 asamm tea latte,pearl topping extra 50 cents,which was very good.

every time i come here, there is always a line that stretches around the corner and i can see why. not only is the tea brewed from leaves (not teabags) but it’s super cheap! this place has the same $6 for 2 (excluding toppings) deal everyday. the taste of the drinks made here have a strong tea taste and aroma, which makes it a delight to drink. i highly recommend this place for milk tea/tea lovers!!

cheapest place for milk tea but it's become more and more busy. located near town hall station it tends to have a massive line every time i walk past. it's also cash only. but the service is good and the staff are friendly.

high quality healthy chinese latte or taiwanese latte.

$6 for two. the price is really reasonable but the quality does not compromise!

5/5 matcha 🍵 latte. it’s green tea latte originally from ancient china but popular in japan. for me, a matcha lover, it is really hard for me to find an authentic matcha 🍵 in sydney.

i tried almost every cafe ( including starbucks) they cannot do matcha without sugar cause their matcha powder contains sugar already. so the matcha those cafe made lost the original bitter taste of matcha.


here, tea shop express is different. their matcha powder is real matcha without added sugar. so with their other tea. any tea is made from order! that’s the reason i give them 5 stars.


plus, super lovely staff! 💓💓🌸🌸

this is my favourite milk tea shop in sydney (although they also do teas without milk and tea lattes). their prices are very reasonable because they have deals for every day of the week. i usually go on saturdays when it's 2 for $6 and 50c for each topping. they do cold and hot drinks but i always go for the cold drinks. it's right next to town hall station and "underground" so don't even need to go outside! the drinks are of good size and do not taste artificial. love that i can choose the level of sugar and ice at no extra charge. the menu is not as extensive as at other tea places but what they have, they do well. my favourite is matcha milk tea with red bean. i really like the design on their cups too and that they change on a regular basis. friendly staff. there is usually a queue but the staff are efficient so it doesn't tend to be a long wait.

convenient place in town hall just outside town hall station. definitely recommend!
drinks are very affordable, half price compared to other competitors in sydney, extra charge for topping. cold drinks in large and hot drinks regular size. friendly and english speaking staff.

i especially like their tea latte (milk tea made with fresh milk) made from assam black or earl grey milk tea with 1/4 sugar and 1/2 ice.

this place is sometimes confused with another place near by. * they do not sell crepes!*

another tea shop that blooming around cbd.
had this monday deal yesterday, but 1 chocolate milk tea, $6 and get another drink for free. apart from the topping, that cost you extra $.50
had lychee topping with the chocolate milk tea, which was nice, and other is thai milk tea with herbal jelly.
good thing is that the sugar and ice level you can tell before they make it for you.

quick and easy, cheap bubble milk tea ($6 for 2- large size excluding toppings), with flexible options of ice and sugar levels. however, there is not as extensive of a menu as other competitors for tea flavours.

cheapest place to satisfy my milk tea craving. buy 1 get 1 free excluding topping, so $7 for getting 2 large size milk tea with pearls. especially, chewy pearls which is i like the most.

my all time favourite place to get milk tea. $7 for two, topping included. there's always a line there but the service is very quick and efficient. must try milk tea flavours: taiwanese, thai, buckwheat, and puer. i have heard people came here for the crispy crepes as well. might try that one day!
* update: took my partner here to try out the milk tea. due to high customer demand, this tea shop failed him twice. the milk tea was not cold at all. you don’t put ice in hot boiling water and expect them to be icy don’t you.

the bubble tea here is really good and at a relatively cheap price as well. they have many flavours, including their signature assam black milk tea, taro, matcha, oolong and many more! there are different offers every day, but there will always be the buy 1 get 1 free for $6 for any of their drinks every day. though there may seem to be long queues every time, their service is actually really fast. there are also multiple options which you can choose from, like the amount of sugar you want in your drink and whether you want ice in your drink. toppings are only 50c extra so i often get pearls. staff are also very nice, so overall a really good experience!

there is a line here at lunch time quite regularly so i was intrigued. then my colleagues came back with large cups of bubble tea and said they only paid $3 for it, and i realised it was this exact place. they have a few deals going on, the most appealing to me was the 2 for $6 so my friend and i went to get ourselves some tea. the cup they give you is huge and they have plenty of flavours to choose from. you can choose the amount of sugar you'd like as well. for the price you're paying, yes it is worth it.
