I love bringing my son here for a mom and son day. We get the strawberry rolled ice cream and I love the popping bubbles you can get with the tea! Fantastic little shop. Makes my heart happy coming here.

I felt like treating myself on the weekend and noticed this in my maps app while searching for dessert shops. It’s tucked away in a shopping area but it wasn’t hard to find. The shop didn’t have too much space inside, likely enough for a little over a dozen people at once. But the atmosphere was nice. The potted plants added a nice natural touch. And for anyone interested in amateur art, there’s a cork board with plenty of drawings made by various customers. As tempting as the rolled ice cream was, I stuck with my plan for a drink only. The cashier recommended the Lavender Milk Tea which ended up being my choice. I was interested in the various fruit teas available but decided on trying them another time. My order didn’t take long to prepare and I found it to be pretty good. There was enough lavender to notice the flavor and not be overpowering. It was also sweet enough that I was glad I didn’t order anything sweeter like the Brown Sugar Milk Tea. My drink was good but I think a hot drink seemed more appropriate given the weather. The shop definitely wasn’t at fault; I just didn’t realize until after I finished. Overall, I enjoyed my visit to Hi Tea and I definitely plan to return to enjoy more of their menu. Between the rolled ice cream specials and the exotic fruit teas, this place will remain a solid option for a weekend luxury.

This place is a hidden gem. My 6 year old and I came for a treat. She got the strawberry rolled ice cream and I got the lavender milk tea. Both were delicious! We'll definitely be coming back.

Review from rolled ice cream- I was very surprised when I saw glorious rolls of perfection. It tastes like heaven, and if heaven doesn’t taste like this, is it reallyyyyy heaven?????? I’ve never had rolled ice cream, but I bet this is some of the best. I love. Review from the waffle ice cream- it is amazing and I have never had anything better than this in my life. The combination of a warm waffle wrapped around a cold thing of ice cream is the perfect combination! I love. L & R

The selection is fantastic. With over a dozen different milk teas, they have rolled ice cream, fruit flavors, popcorn, and chewy boba. It's a great drink when it's a little late and you're out of coffee.

I recently visited Hi Tea with my son and two friends , and we had a delightful experience! The staff were incredibly kind and patient, taking the time to guide us through their great selection. They helped us understand which drinks we might enjoy, making the process both fun and educational for the kids. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality and variety offered. The cherry on top was the vibrant post-it wall that the kids absolutely adored. It added a unique and interactive touch to our visit. Overall, Hi Tea provided a wonderful environment with excellent customer service. We can’t wait to return for another enjoyable visit! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
