Em-Tea

Kiosk was a bit confusing at first but once you understand it, quick and easy. Drinks are good!!! Never really got to stop by much anymore since I don't live here anymore, but definitely a go to spot. 👌

The best boba place I’ve been to, I tried other places and it was meh but if you stop by in Merced and is in mood for Boba, I would recommend you to go to this place Em-Tea. I usually order their thai tea, my partner really enjoys their lavender slush.

Overall a chill and welcoming experience . The store some of the best teas I’ve ever had and offers them in a variety of colorful presentation styles

insane value on milk tea. Atmosphere is also really nice and service is cool and self order. This probably one of the better deals you can get on milk tea though

Good tea good beat good feet jk but the place is amazing highly recommend if you want big boba balls in your mouth and good tasting drinks

I’ve been coming to this location since it opened. The drinks and service have only gotten better. They have added much more to the menu as well.

I enjoy their Slushes and Iced Milk Teas, specially the premium ones. My favorite toppings are the regular boba, strawberry jelly, lychee jelly and egg pudding. This time I ordered a large mango slush with regular boba and strawberry jelly, and it was delicious as usual.

I also recommend their premium Big Red Robe iced tea with “milk”, boba and strawberry jelly. Or their premium Fruity Rose iced tea with boba and lychee jelly.

From what I’ve experienced, usual wait time is about 5 minutes or less on a normal day (unless you order a premium drink), and about 10 minutes on a busy day. A delicious treat all year round.

Super great & fun atmosphere. It's a nice place for just a nice pick me up of boba. They have a lot of options & are able to do non-dairy options so that is super great for people who are lactose intolerant or anything. The variety that they have is also very appealing. I love this place so so much. They have added some food for certain days. The mochi donuts are a must if you can get a hold on one of the batches they've made that day.

My niece and I went to Em Tea today. My niece had a iced matcha green tea with Boba. I had a iced Mango green tea with mango pudding as a topping. Let me tell you both drinks were absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is cute and cozy. The help is friendly, fast, and incredibly talented. 👌
They even had a beautiful fall tree for decoration.
If you've never been there...go now! Like really..stop reading this review and go! 😊🏃‍♀

ordered for the first time today and i didn’t have much expectations but it’s way better than the ones i get in LA.
I ordered the brown sugar milk tea latte and it was one of the best ones i’ve ever had. Definitely coming back more often to try their other specialty drinks

EM TEA is the best, I got a matcha drink is on the special list and it’s a mix with matcha and milk🥰my friend got the 🐝 bee my self which is on the special list also~❤love this place

It had been several years since I last visited. I was happy to know that their cups now fit into car cup holders! I got the Thai milk tea with egg pudding and it was all great. The place was very clean and had quite a lot of seating for a small shop. I would definitely go back.

Iced Grape, green tea plus mango boba is a good combo 👌🏽

Pricey drinks but you get a good amount even for a regular size... There aren't really any food options but you can get small (bit pricey) snacks. Quick service, nice staff. They have a nice, cute decorative vibe & sometimes have board/card games available.

Cute boba shop, with a good variety of tea, and add ons. This place is extremely COVID compliant, so be sure to bring a mask and not gather inside.

We have come here maybe 4 times now and the tea is pretty good. I was surprised that the teas were sweet with no added sweetener. If you order from the premium teas they have to steep these And take 6 minutes and are not as sweet. The boba is decent. It’s a nice refreshing place to go in the summer.

The first time I went to Em-Tea was with one of my roommates, and I loved this place. I don't remember what I got last time, but it was good. This time, on April 22, 2022, I got myself a strawberry flavor with green tea and popping boba. It tastes really good and I would recommend this place to anyone who loves boba! They also have the UNO cards, which I played with my friends once to have fun and kill time while waiting for our drinks to be picked up.

Chill vibe and good selection of Boba drinks. Have macaroons, Onigiri at times, mochi donuts and other goodies. One of the best place for Boba in Merced in my opinion.

Went here during my time in Merced it's fantastic

I’m always impressed with the quality of the tea here and it’s pretty consistent.
The ambiance is perfect for studying or writing. Even when business picks up, the sound level is a lot more comfortable than other local cafes.
Service is always friendly and they keep the place pretty clean.

I love this place! The atmosphere is calm and friendly, it’s clean and it smells nice! The drinks are great and so are the employees! So cute and so refreshing!!
