Braganza Tea

I always look forward to getting a tea while shopping, but the one thing I absolutely can’t stand is when they open, the Boba isn’t ready and told it will take 15 – 20 for it to be ready. BE PREPARED TO SERVE EVERYTHING ON YOUR MENU WHEN YOU OPEN IF YOU OFFER IT! I know I’m only one person, but I don’t buy anymore because what I want is rarely ready. Bad business planning!

I mean, if you’re looking for the stereotypical american sugar in liquid form type of drink, then this is your place. However, if you are looking for something more to the standard milk tea (I cant say authentic because I am realistic and doubt Portland has anything to what I got in Taiwan) then save your money (and waist line) and go somewhere else.
This place was terrible. I couldn’t taste the tea at all, nothing but overwhelming sweet, it was disgusting. There was no option on sweetness level as it was already premade and poured from a large jug just sitting in the fridge (mmm fresh). I couldn’t even manage to drink half of it despite how thirsty I was. I only got the original milk tea too, I can only imagine what the «sweet» drinks taste like. My friend got the chai milk tea, and that too just tasted like sugar mixed with cinnamon. The only good thing I have to say, is that the tapioca was pretty good, not undercooked, and not mushy slime either.

Other Unilocalers are right, they changed their recipes and now they aren’t as flavorful and they also cost more. I still go because of lack of options for bubble tea southwest of Portland and most of the time I will get fresh boba but have come across quite a few instances with hard or stale boba. But today I went and they were out of boba! How are you gonna be out of boba tea when you specialize in BUBBLE tea. I asked how long until it would be ready and was told ten minutes! You guys should always have it in rotation. I know for a fact it couldn’t have been that you sold out of it, it was dead in the food court at the time. So disappointed and mad. Get it together, you have a willing customer base that you are disappointing.

So i went to the Loyd’s Center and discovered this gem of a place and with the amazing and fun employees giving exceptional customer service the menu is to die for. My first and favorite order I got last time was the «coffee boba» I believe. anyway it was the only coffee drink their and with the boba like recommended from one of the gals there it was AMAZING! New fave drink, I will be back and repurchasing each and every time I am in the area!

I’ve been to many bubble tea places all around the Pacific Northwest and this is by far the greatest bubble tea place I’ve ever been too! The staff is really friendly, they know me by name, I come at least twice a week and I’m never disappointed. They even remembered my order! Taro smooth tea with boba :-))) they’re always consistent and on time

I should’ve known better than to go here.
I had the plain Jane original milk tea with bubbles. Like an earlier reviewer said, «it wasn’t horrible tasting, but it’s not very good either». For me it was far too sweet.

My favorite bubble tea place of all time! I’m from Washington and have completely given up on bubble tea any where but here! No where else compares which is dramatic I know but once you have their taro strawberry with boba (or lychee) there’s no going back! The service is amazing they’re super funny and nice every time, I just wish there was one in Seattle so I’m not deprived until I visit Oregon lol

I been having Bubble Tea from this place for years and I just can’t go anywhere else. The Boba is fresh and chewy and their Original Milk tea is to die for! Freshly brewed tea and just the right sweetness! Love it!

Really yummy. I’m surprised at how good it is for being in a mall. Love going here

For some reason, after they changed the look of the menu, the taste and quality had pretty much gone downhill. I got the same thing as I usually get at Braganza which is the honeydew smooth tea with lychee jelly. The lychee jelly is fine. But it’s the actual smooth tea that I have a problem with. It used to be so good! But all of a sudden, it tastes more like a snowcone without a lot of flavoring. You know, when you first dig into a snowcone starting from the top after all the syrup has already sunk down to the bottom? It tastes like that… except you don’t get any of the syrup-​y yummy goodness when you get to the end. I can only say it tasted really bland. And the thing is, this isn’t the first time it’s been like this. This is about the third time. After changing the look of the menu, nothing is the same. And this really sucks because it used to be my favorite boba place. :/
(The reason for 2 stars is because the tea isn’t horrible tasting… but it isn’t very good.)

Very good product, very clean and the waitress let me try different sample of flavors and jellies to decide what I wanted — the boba is not tough but nice and soft/​chewy with a pleasant sweetness.
Their equipment looks top notch, they seem very organized and it has a very pleasant presentation — the straws are not bent, perfectly round.
I had the jasmine milk tea, very flavorful and fresh — not too sweet and nor watered down as well as overly sweet to my tastes. The price is $ 3.95 for a regular cup and $ 2.95 for a small for the milk teas, the add on tasty treats (boba, etc.) come at no additional cost so you can mix and match to your hearts content — it’s included in the drink cost.
It’s not packaged in a kids themed cup, but more sophisticated — grown up teas that can be enjoyed by all ages!

Decent bubble tea pretty good and consistent, they should add some more tapioca too It though

I use to get the green tea matcha milk tea and it was my favorite. They changed the recipe and now it taste like cinnamon… Not even a hint of match… Not going back again.

the first time i tried milk teas with boba i was hooked. If you like something sweet and chewy, like me, i get the taro smoothie with extra boba. BTW, this place has better boba then most places iv tried.

I usually get the same thing every time. This time the girl wouldn’t make a easy milk strawberry blended tea! She said the manager is the only one??? I get it every time I’m here 3 – 12 times a month! I tried to explain it she just said no cant do it? What really won’t. I’m over it anyways too much sugar for me. I’m probably not going come back! I’m going to go to Godiva chocolate for a happy hour thanks for be rude

I’m happy that that this place exists in Washington Square’s food court. The bubble tea is solid, and there are a lot of varieties of flavors and types of bubble tea. What’s not to like? Love that there are the jelly options in addition to the tapioca.

They are such nice people and the tea is on point. I am crazy for one of the girls that work there. I am going to ask her out and make her mine. Dibs. no one touch her.

There’s just something about a creamy flavorful cold bubble tea. They use fresh ingredients and no powders or fake flavors. I love Braganza Tea’s coconut smoothie tea with its fresh tapioca pearls and mango jellies
Always a line, but the employees are usually very quick with serving. My favorite place in Portland so far!

The smooth taro tea with some fruity jellies is such a tasty combo and gives you something to suck on while shopping. The purple color calms me & and the chewy drink gives me a weird zen peace as I wander aimlessly through the throngs of shoppers at WA. Square.
FYI — The small size is smaller than I expected, but it hits the spot just right. Nice change from a soda or coffee. I’ll be back grasshopper.

The girls working here are very helpful. The product is everything you’d want in a bubble tea place. I just can’t find anything to criticize. If there’s one thing, they should find a way to make the menu options easier to understand. You have to alleviate the pressure in line behind you. Easy ordering is how you do it.
A better menu hierarchy with maybe a 1, 2, 3 step instruction with fewer differing price points would be a benefit.
But go here if you’re looking for something besides coffee and kind, helpful service. They’ll even let you sample!
