With iced or slush options, Spill the Tea’s drinks are as aesthetically pleasing as they are delicious. From their namesake “Spill the Tea” (a blend of oolong tea, passionfruit, and dragon fruit) to other fruity varieties like “Appley Ever After” (green tea with lychee and green apple). Alternatively, you can opt for a milk tea or a drink from The Butterfly Collection, which highlights particularly eye-catching colors thanks to organic butterfly pea tea leaves. Add in boba or your other favorite toppings for the perfect sip. 

Spill the Tea doesn’t stop at drinks, though. Their “Bites” menu gives you options to eat while you enjoy your bubble tea, from spring or summer rolls to beef stew. They even offer vegan options, like pho and banh mi, so dietary restrictions won’t spoil the fun. 

If you stop by Spill the Tea for a drink, a bite to eat, or a little of both, one aspect remains the same⁠—you’ll want to take a picture before you take a taste. From that first bite, you won’t want to stop once you’ve taken your first bite.

The offerings go well beyond what’s available at brunch. Some particularly popular customer favorites include crabcakes, New Orleans French toast, and, of course, Surf and Turf.
