Cute little cafe with lots of different types of drinks and foods! I have never had bubble tea before so I appreciated the recomendations given by the cashier! I also love that they have non-dairy milks to add to drinks so if you're vegan and worried about the milk teas, not to worry! You can order any drink with almond milk and/or their non-dairy creamer to make it vegan! I also got to try the sweet potato fries, just be sure to ask for no sauce or sauce on the side since it has bacon in it. It'd be nice if there were some tofu options on the menu to eat! I will definitely be coming back!
Food is always good and fresh. I’ve had serval of their plates and all good. My favorite is the teriyaki chicken bowl. Dumplings are also very good. Their teas are also very good. Got a taro boba once and wasn’t too crazy about it, but never had a bad experience with the teas. I love coming when I’m in the area!
I recently tried Artea Boba Dejavala, and I have to say, the tea is amazing. A few of my friends even come all the way from Dallas just to get their boba. After trying it a few days ago, I’ve been hooked and have had it almost every day since. My current favorite is the "Hokkaido toffee milk tea with popping boba or regular boba." They give a really generous amount of boba, which I love. We don’t mind driving nine miles for it, especially since ordering online costs almost double, so it’s definitely worth the trip. I haven’t tried their other food yet, but it looks delicious, and I’m planning to next time. The place is always busy, but the staff is super kind and helpful. If you’re into boba or just looking to try something new, Artea Boba Dejavala is definitely worth checking out.
Bright space, diverse food and drinks, friendly staff. But the points that need improvement are that the restrooms are not really clean or maybe when it's crowded, the staff doesn't have enough time to pay attention to everything outside the drinking and food making area. Another point is that the mini games are no longer on display so guests can play with each other and can just sit there and talk. If you bring them back, it will be more fun to come here. Outside the restaurant there is also plenty of free parking and wheelchair access.
Cashier was friendly and helpful. Food took long. They put a board saying it would be 15.minutes.
Atmosphere is 3. Good for a small cafe.
Nothing above and beyond.
Trying to look up for more authentic Taiwanese place and found this hidden gem. Also recommend by one of my colleagues. Located in the plaza on De Zavala crossing Stable Oak, it is not extremely visible from the street driving there. Parking is always easy since; a shared parking lot right in front and on the side of the restaurant, shared with other shops.
Have tried a variety of their dishes including the Taiwanese rice noodle, Pot Stickers, and Passion Green Tea. The popcorn rice noodles are very authentic, similarly to eating them at the night markets in Taiwan. Thin, refreshing glass noodles fried with cabbage, sliced mushrooms, carrots and pork slices. The fried Pot Stickers is probably one of the best ones I’ve ever tried in the greater San Antonio area. The Passion Green is very well made and even has passion fruit seeds in it!
The interior decor is currently under construction but well decorated with a signature Taiwanese bear sign, plus well lit floor from all the tall window glasses. Can be a bit loud. Unfortunately they do not provide military discount (not surprised since most Asian stores do not offer discount).
Will definitely come back to try more authentic Taiwanese dishes. Keep up the good work Artea!
Whenever we are in SA, we have to get some boba from Artea. My brother lives here, so he has to bring me some whenever he comes home. He usually buys it with no ice since it quite a drive home, and they actually fill the drink up unlike some places. The boba are so soft and chewy with the honey taste. It doesn't get hard after a while because I take forever to finish my drink. Their snack options are great. We love the popcorn chicken. It tastes very close to the ones we used to have in California. They also give a lot of boba compared to other stores that I have tried in SA. I usually order my drinks 30% or 50% sweetness since I don't drink anything sweet. My brother usually gets 70% or 100% sweetness. Overall great experience every time, and I will definitely recommend them to anyone.
Pretty good overall. Under construction still but it’s an overall decent place to have some pretty tasty Asian food. My favorite is the teriyaki chicken. I love their soft boiled eggs. The Taiwanese noodles were not my cup of tea but were still good. A great amount of food served for a good price. Enough to share for two people per meal. Their boba is my favorite. I ordered the oolong tea with basil seeds. Highly recommend the boba here.
