The Whale Tea

Had the passion fruit tea, 50% less sugar. Incredibly refreshing on this hot summer day! Store is clean, staff is very quiet & reserved and this product was $6.71 out the door price. Staff

My boyfriend’s brother brought us here because he knew we loved boba tea, and I’m so glad that he did! I chose the strawberry fresh milk on this visit, and I couldn’t believe how fresh the strawberries were. It had such a great flavor and was like a thinner strawberry milkshake! The Thai and brown sugar milk teas were also great. I saw some really unique flavors on the menu that I want to try next time, like Oreo creme brûlée. The shop was very clean, and the staff was friendly!

The best bubble tea in New Haven and this coming from someone who's been tasting bubble teas all around Asia. They keep up with popular drink menus that you can find nowadays in Asia. The drinks were very tasty and not too sweet. Tapioca balls were chewy and perfect. Everything was great.

Delicious tea with lots of fresh chewy boba! Cute spot with fun whale decor.

TASTE: I never had Pomelo before. It tastes like a lemon and orange had a sweeter fruit together. There was also watermelon in the tea which made it super refreshing. I love that you have the option to add on your personal choice of boba.

The peach Fruit tea was just as refreshing and delicious. The lychee jelly gave it a little more of a kick

SERVICE: The service was rapid and polite. You also have the option of ordering on a machine. Everything was done in a timely manner.

CLEANLINESS: It was super clean and very well organized.

AVAILABILITY: There is seating available and it was pretty clear when I arrived.

ORDERED/PRICE:
● Pomelo Lemon Fruit Tea (5.95)
w/Strawberry Popping Boba (0.75)
● Peach Fruit Tea (5.95)
Lychee Jelly (0.75)

Ample seating, good boba teas.

One of the BEST bubble tea we ever got in the US.
Especially the amount of tapioca is AMAZING!
Highly recommended for any fan of bubble tea!

Beautiful location and very relaxing also.

Ordered the Oreo Creme Brulee Milk Tea Boba... DELICIOUS! Fresh warm boba and crunchy little oreo pieces. Already dying to go back to try the strawberry milk. Love that they let you adjust the sweetness level, too. Cute place!

From the words of my daughter: the strawberry milk tea actually tasted like real strawberries and not some fake stuff trying to be strawberries!! From my words: Wonderful service-They were extremely busy but worked so fast. I love this place! Our new favorite.

The Mango slush and Thai milk tea are delicious!

Super yummy milk teas, fresh fruit teas & more ! Good service & nice sitting area. They even have stamp cards for every 10 teas you get a free one. This is one of 3 locations. They’re great ! Totally obsessed.

Been wanting to go here for a long time, the matcha and taro tea was good as was the classic brown sugar tea with boba. 🙂

My kids and I are absolutely addicted to The Whale Tea! Every tea and boba we've ordered has been beyond excellent and NEVER dissapoints!
The Brown Sugar Milk Tea (pictured), Strawberry Fresh Milk, Oreo Creme Brulee and Passionfruit Fruit Tea are just some of our favorites!
Definitely recommend! 🐳❤🧋

I like the variety of drinks the way the service staff takes customers time seriously. Working fast when time is busy and how up to date and move the store looks.

Tiny but cute place with good variety of teas. I got the grapefruit tea half sweetened and it was absolutely perfect for me. Pretty busy and being close to Yale I can see why. It's walking distance. Overall, pretty good.

Great!!! I love the interior! And the boba is delish!!! The worker was very friendly and helpful too! I suggest this amazing place!

The cashier, James, was super kind AND patient (my boyfriend always takes forever to choose what he wants.) He gave us suggestions and was honest and we very much enjoyed our visit. We were in there for about 45mins on a Friday and it was a very tranquil, quiet 45 minutes. Loved it! God Bless Spring Break. Keep those kids quarantined.

After a long day we were looking for bubble tea and The Whale Tea delivered! Cute place, decent selection of teas.

I tried their original tea, friends tried taro.

Honestly one of the best spots in New Haven. They have contact less ordering or the option to speak to someone directly. Service is quick and friendly and the drinks are delicious.

We visited New Haven for summer camp. We came here almost everyday. My 14 years old daughter loves their boba tea.
