Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The Mog Champ sends his regards. Felt like something refreshing so decided to get their watermelon fruit tea. It was nice, and they had a lot of prepared cups for some orders. It's a nice tea shop like the others but wasn't too sure on what their signature drinks were. Service was fairly quick for the narrow crowds lining inside. Thanks for the drink Top Tea. Mogliest Regards, Your Mog Champ"
"I’d like to thank reddit and XHS for recommending Top Tea to me. As a casual boba enjoyer, I LOVE this place every drink I’ve gotten has been an absolute hit. I’ve literally had top tea for three days straight cause it’s so good. Pls come to NZ"
"Really loved the Chilled Mango Sago drink. I saw it in the pre-prepared drinks behind the glass. It looked yummy and it was yummy. Mango smoothie on top of coconut cream with sago."
"I tried this a while ago but still remember how good it was! I ordered the Pink Blossom Premium Tea Latte — mostly because the pink cup looked super cute (not gonna lie ). But the taste really surprised me — light, floral, and not overly sweet. It was refreshing and smooth, perfect for a walk on a sunny day. Service was quick even though the shop was busy, and the drink came out fast. The cup was easy to hold and came with a secure lid, so I could sip while walking down Swanston Street without any spills. I’d love to come back and try more from their menu next time I’m in the area! #Genastar"
"i looooveee their cheese foam, so yummy and perfectly salted. i usually get their strawberry cheese tea as its the perfect summer drink. its always so refreshing and the flavours are so fragrant and strong. i do like to add pearls into it aswell but to charge $1 per topping, they definitely can afford to be more generous than one puny scoop… very tasty though regardless!!"
"Best watermelon milk tea ever. The Swanston Street branch is the best, though most branches are quite similar. It’s incredibly delicious, comes in a large size, and is great value for money around $9 for the size."
"My favourite is the coconut smoothie with black rice which creamy, unique and delicious. Friendly service and convenient location."
"I recently visited Top Tea Melbourne and had a fantastic experience. The tea selection was extensive and the staff were knowledgeable and passionate about tea. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the decor was beautiful. I ordered a pot of their signature blend and it was absolutely delicious. The tea was brewed to perfection and served in beautiful teaware. I also tried some of their desserts and they were heavenly - the perfect complement to the tea. Overall, I highly recommend Top Tea Melbourne to anyone looking for a high-quality tea experience. I can't wait to visit again and try more of their blends!"
