Reviews
"After sampling half of their menu over the last year, I can finally say that Spot of Tea has officially solidified its spot as my go-to boba spot in DC. This humble little stall tucked in the back of Union Market has it all -- a delicious and perfectly crafted menu, friendly and efficient service, and simple yet adorable decor that creates a calming space in the middle of Union Market's bustle. They have a great selection of teas that includes both classic favorites like Thai tea or your basic milk tea, but also a smattering of exciting new flavors / seasonal specials like mango hibiscus or calamansi ginger. If you're anything like me and struggle to make even the most basic of decisions, their menu also features decision guides, listing out caffeine levels, flavor profiles, and a one-line "why you should pick this drink" for quickly comparing between different options. Regardless of which drink you choose, Spot of Tea is sure to satisfy any craving, whether it's for something rich and milky, fruity and refreshing, or just straight-up caffeine. It'll also include some of DC's best boba pearls, with the perfect chewy, QQ texture (or lychee jelly if you'd prefer). I also love that they default to using oat milk for all their drinks at no extra charge, although you can request a switch to dairy milk if you'd prefer. While it's hard to pick a favorite from their phenomenal menu, a few stand-outs are: - Mango Hibiscus (great for cooling down on a hot summer day) - Mango Yuzu Black Tea (great for cooling down on a hot summer day...but also with caffeine) - Hot Black Sesame Latte (who needs hot chocolate when you can have a rich, piping hot cup of black sesame latte / milk?) In addition to their teas, they also create a delicious oat milk soft serve. You can either get matcha, black sesame, or a swirl of the two flavors -- my personal preference is always the swirl, but both flavors are great on their own as well. You would never guess its dairy-free from how rich and creamy it is, and their ice cream is the perfect level of sweetness, with the slightly bitter matcha and nutty sesame seeds breaking through the sugar. All in all, I truly can't recommend Spot of Tea enough -- absolutely swing by to give their teas and soft serve a shot!"
"Ever since they moved out of Streets Market, their menu has been experimenting and expanding. Great staple to the area, and I do hear great things about working there as well. Best matcha ice cream at Union market!"
"Busy Saturday morning, but I still got my very delicious vanilla taro milk tea quickly! I love the use of the screens - it made it super easy to customize your order with the level of boba, sweetness, and even the ice. I look forward to visiting this place again and trying some more drinks and flavors!"
"Go here! The blue jasmine is very good (add sweetener) and the mango hibiscus are the best that we had. You order virtually on-screen and then it is about a 5 minute wait for your drink when they are busy."
"An interesting variety of drinks! I had the blue jasmine and it was very tasty - a clear floral flavor. Excellent for dairy-free people bc oat milk does not cost extra. Adjustable sweetness level was also nice."
