Not one, but two locations for Cuppa Manna in the Summerville/Goose Creek area. With a friend or loved one who’s not a bubble tea fan? Take them here. It’s a more traditional coffee shop and cafe, with a larger selection of drinks such as espresso, coffee, and frappes.

Further out of the downtown Charleston area to Goose Creek, QQ Thai ventures to something a little different than other Asian fusion restaurants. In addition to bubble tea, it offers the once-trending rolled Thai ice cream and Japanese crepes, two uncommon dessert delicacies in Charleston.

Across the street from Northwoods Mall, Wei Mei’s location is ideal for any shopping schedule to stop and try the Chinese and Thai cuisines, such as chow mei fun and pad see-ew. Their selection of milk teas, like coconut or Thai milk tea, can be paired with the many spicy dishes offered to cool down the taste buds.

Located in the new Westedge development, Sweet Bowl offers a relaxing environment to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, with a dedicated quiet study room for students and is only a short walk away from Brittlebank Park to enjoy a bubble tea and poke bowl while watching the sunset. Plus, Westedge offers plenty of parking both on the street and in a garage right above the storefront.

Le Tea is small, but the perfect spot to pick up a bubble tea between classes. It’s located a short walk away from both College of Charleston and MUSC campuses. It’s a dedicated tea spot, so patrons shouldn’t go hungry if they’re looking for something to eat, too.

Around the corner from Marion Square and next door to Pounce Cat Cafe, Ding Tea & Ha Long Cafe is family-operated, serving Ding Tea-brand drinks and homemade Vietnamese comfort food, including summer rolls and pho.
