Very cute! This was my first time coming here and I took my neice, who is a picky eater, to try some bubble/boba tea for her first time. The staff was very friendly, patient, and helpful. It took a few samples, but we went with regular milk tea for my neice and she loved it ❤. I ordered at the counter, but their automated kiosk looked like it worked. For various reasons the kiosk could be a benefit for customers, especially those who use ASL.

Yaya tea was perfect and better than expected, don’t be fooled by any bad reviews if you’re looking for onigiri this is a solid spot for it. Sizes are phenomenal for the price as well. I’m not a boba tea person but I got a milk tea and it was perfect. Will be back and will recommend to folks

I came to visit my family in Durham from Minnesota. I’ve always seen boba tea online, but my small town doesn’t have any of the trendy things. I was recommended Yaya Tea from a family friend, and I chose the location in Durham because of the proximity. Upon walking in, I was greeted by the staff, and they were extremely nice to me. They described the different tea flavors to me, and I ended up choosing the Taro milk tea (totally recommend), and it was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! I added in some boba and it was so sweet and chewy, and it totally didn’t disappoint. I’ve never seen rice balls in person, and I was STOKED to try some. I ended up choosing the shrimp with crab rice ball and the spicy tuna rice ball. They were so filling and not too spicy for my poor tastebuds. I ended up visiting this location 5 more times before heading back to Minnesota. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone trying to get a delicious meal on the go. I even want to take a trip to Durham just to try their food again. LOL. Will be back one day!
