TJ Cups

Some of the best milk tea I’ve had. Especially love their jelly options (Lychee — my favorite)! I deducted one star due to their expensive prices! No tea is worth $ 5.

Beware: $ 4.99 for a cup of tea! Then blames customer for making terrible orders, then turns around and blames the employee… Walk over to Starbucks. It’s only $ 2.30+ for a large tea.

About time Ames got a good Bubble Tea place. If you like Chatime, then you’ll like TJCups! I want to say TJCups is a lot better and has more variety. I would recommend the Creama Royal Black Tea with honey pearls!

Excellent quality coupled with excellent service. This is my favorite place to get drinks, and probably the best tea in Ames. Great aesthetics but atmosphere could use some music to create a truly great café atmosphere. I like to get Oolong tea with honey, although I plan on trying out the diverse pearl additions they mentioned and advertise. The staff were extraordinarily kind (even for Ames) and not necessarily just through speech. I felt an unmistakable sense that I was welcome and appreciated as a customer. I plan on spending both time and money at this fine establishment for a long while. One of the thoughts that struck me during my visit was how convenient an environment this would be for a relaxing workspace, and I certainly intend to verify this assumption in the near future. Don’t let this restaurant fail people! In my humble opinion, it deserves an exalted position in our culinary community.

Great place to get tea! Amazing quality, great ingredients, we’ll made. They have bubble tea and smoothies. Everything I’ve had there has been really really good! The staff is very very friendly and helpful.

It’s the FIRST original Bubble tea shop in Ames, also in Iowa! It tastes really good and they provides bunch of different choices. Everyone should try TJ signature pearl milk tea~ I also like Shaken Fruit Tea which you can choose one kind of tea and add flavor and toppings. I personally like Sakura Sencha (fresh brewed tea) with lychee flavor and rainbow jelly (one of the toppings). The price is reasonable and people are nice! Definitely will be there again and again~

Ames, Iowa’s very 1^st boba tea …
