Chocolate is Self-Care Tea Studio

Super clean and the decor is amazing. Bubble tea itself is mad organically which makes it even more delicious to drink knowing it doesn’t have preserves like most malls and businesses. I love everything about this place and how it’s all natural!

As a daily tea drinker and a Boba tea lover that lives in Cohoes, I was very excited to hear about this shop opening! I wish it didn't take me so long to finally stop in but im so glad I did, and I will be back very soon and will be a frequent visitor with the buy 10 get 1 Free deal!
My mission for the day was to get Boba tea and maybe one of the chocolate blended loose teas that are mixed in-house. I had a hard time choosing which chocolate loose tea I wanted so i settled with the 1st I picked up, rose. But I plan to grab a few more next time, like chocolate with vanilla, orange, currant, strawberry, chai, and more.
I couldn't choose just 1 Boba tea so I got 2 lol. One was the Ube and Rose and the other was Taro. Both were perfectly delicious and well made! Next time I'm getting the Matcha Mango and the Banana Bruleé! Can't wait! Lastly, there were some baked treats..I got a cranberry coconut scone, and Icelandic chocolate merengue cookies called Loftkøkur. Both were delicious!
There's more!
A little friend, a pet Axolotle named Mango lives in the tea studio! And theres plenty of axolotle merchandise for axolotle fans. Another thing that excited me was the large variety of stickers that were 3 for $1. I got a ton! There's also a small selection of crystals and other nice things for sale too.
I recommend you stop in if you like anything I mentioned 😊

Monday Mah Jongg is the best night of the week! Tuesday morning is the only time I'm properly hydrated because
I drink SO much tea Monday night.The Cosmic Sunshine and Chocolate Peppermint are must trys!!

My daughter took me and my granddaughters to a fairy tea party. It was absolutely delightful! Kudos to the owner. For $16 you get a choice of tea, every one gets their own little pot, with a choice of children's or adult menus. The menu consists of little sandwiches, sweets and fairy cupcakes! Great relaxing music and wonderful atmosphere! Will definitely be going to the mermaid tea party this summer. Oh and we all got to keep our fairy wands !

Our teens loves to visit and have tea. We stopped in on New Year’s Eve for a fun glow party and tea. On top of having wonderful tea, the shop has been so supportive of the community including speaking to students at career day and supporting our PTO raffles.

Wow. I was so impressed by the beauty of this place. And the beauty doesn’t end with the eyes. The tea is served in beautiful dishes, the tea blends are magical, especially the chocolate ones. I really love that they have an amazing lemon vegan cake available.

I’ve seen Chocolate is Selfcare at many markets with their boba tea and their boba tea is far superior to most available. The Boba are cooked perfectly and flavored with a delightful combination of brown sugar and maple (I believe) her chai boba is unparalleled! In the summer she makes specials like lemon aid boba too!

Did I mention she will be holding meditations and hand on classes / events? I can’t wait to check out one of these. As a local yoga teacher (Community Yoga Classes) teaching classes at Paint Cohoes Studio and Gallery I have had the pleasure to get to know the owner quite well, and she bring such an amazing bright energy everywhere she goes. She is an asset to our community in many ways!

This is a don’t miss place if you are in the capital district!

I came in at 2:30 for a hot chocolate (which was delicious) and by 4pm I was adopted into the family. I love my mother’s tea shop.

Decided to try the new tea shop in Cohoes and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We stayed for about an hour sipping our tea from fine china cups and eating the best cake and macarons. My sister and I will be back with our mom. Thank you!

Mahjongg Mondays at the tea studio are the best! Delicious tea and tasty snacks.

Glory-anne is the star of this show. Her teas are amazing! The atmosphere is purely devine and the baked goods are out of this world. This is quite the place for a sip of tea, afternoon snack or simply some fantastic company.

Glory-Anne is wonderful! The space is lovely! The treats are tasty! The tea is refreshing! And the stickers are fun! Highly recommend!

The bubble teas are so delicious! They’re made with fresh steeped organic teas. Their flavors are so unique. The boba pearls are so sweet and chewy. If you’re looking for the best bubble tea check them out. Come get your boba teas!

This is exactly the kind of place you hope for when you hear "family run". These humans are so sweet, so welcoming, and went above and beyond to accomodate me. Would go back in a heartbeat just to chat. I had a winter themed tea with boba that was lovely. You should go.

I went in for a gift and was so tempted by the amazing smells that I can’t wait to go back! Gloryanne and David and the whole team were so warm and welcoming. It is truly a lovely place!

The owner is amazing! Every recommendation for tea/food has been better than the last. It’s the perfect place to go and relax with family and friends.

I absolutely love this place, the tea selections are fabulous and the owner is such a delight! It’s a must if you’re in the Albany area! (Or not honestly worth the drive)

OMG the teas are wonderful. The staff is kind and the atmosphere is calm. Definitely go for a break in the day or for some neat teas for home

So cute and has unique but delicious drinks! Whether you’re a fan of hot tea or bubble tea both are fantastic!!

What a wonderful and charming place to explore new tea blends and treats, meet new and interesting people and spend an evening playing mah jongg!
