Reviews for Tiki Turtle's Boba Teas and Drinks in Surf City, NC

First of all, there aren't many places you can find boba-tea so we're already fortunate they're here! Second, you won't find... friendlier people that run the store. Third, the drinks are great! Go enjoy the drinks and feel good about supporting ourcommunity. Read more

Super delicious boba and great people and service! I'm a bit of a boba obsessive and love that they have something different... from the usual tapioca balls (which I also love but variety is always fun). The boba reminds me of raindrop "cake". Very chewyand fresh. Tea was great too. I had the classic with almond milk. Will definitely be stopping again. If you love boba andespecially if you are lgbtqia+, I'd really recommend you give it a try. Read more

Glad there are options for drinks and food around town now (have been coming to Topsail for decades) but this one was a bust. I... give 3 stars because it was clean, people were nice, the fruit drink was acceptable and dip n dots was nice. But the namesake ofthe shop- Boba, was not good at all. They do not serve tapioca boba. They are very clear about this once you arrive. They servealternatives that are not as satisfying or chewy or even tasty (personal opinion, clearly). I?m thankful they had milkalternatives but the tea itself tasted like 90% water, 10% milk, 0% flavor or tea. Other members of our group also had badexperiences with their ?boba?/milk tea. The cost is outrageous as well. I really hope the residents don?t have to pay thesetourist prices. Edit: thanks for you reply! My displeasure of the boba is more about the watery nature of my drink and not theunusual type of boba (I love agar, red bean, and other strange additions in drinks). Maybe the worker was overwhelmed or notdoing their best that day, maybe the milk alternative was almost out and water was added to get more life, or maybe it wasn?tshaken and I got all water. Would like to give it another try before I leave. I love that you are an inclusive and LGBTQ+supporting company, and I want to support more businesses like yours. Again, everything besides the Boba tea was great.Hopefully our watery boba was a fluke. I?ll give an updated review after trying it again. ????? Oh, also- price wise where weare from, and every where I?ve traveled, a boba tea runs ~3-5$. I am almost certain we were charged 8$ for ours here but I couldbe totally wrong as I can?t find the prices listed online. If I?m totally wrong about the price of the boba I need to figure outhow our order ended up being sooo dang expensive for 3 people getting 2 bobas, 1 fruit drink, and 1 small dipndots. Read more

This is a wonderful family owned and operated place for boba tea and other great drinks! My girls had to stop in twice while we... were vacationing here. The staff are some of the kindest people I?ve met. Wonderful smiles and great conversation along withsome really great drinks! Read more

Fantastic refreshing treats. The boba was great? get the Mojito Mint with dragonfruit boba bubbles. 10/10! The couple that runs... the place was super nice and keep a nice clean little shop. Read more

Stopped on our way out of town. Great service. Fabulous flavors, and options. Clean, bright and inviting. My husband asked about... food on our route home and we got amazing suggestions along our route. Definitely going to make a point to come back on nexttrip down. Read more

In search of ????Boba tea near the Wilmington, NC area and I found this shop. Super friendly staff. Cool looking in the inside.... Delicious Dip n Dots. Unfortunately the Boba was horrible. I've drunk a lot of Boba teas and the Thai tea itself wasn't thatbad. It was the black boba pearls. They were not pearl shape, chewy and delicious. They were not made with tapioca. I forgotwhat the gentleman explain how they make there boba, but I would not recommend anyone looking for bubble tea to try theirs. Imight come back to try others things. Read more

The family that runs the shop were absolutely amazing. We came in with 6 kids and they were so patient with them. Their ice... cream is amazing and they have so many flavors for the boba. Please visit this wonderful shop. You will not be disappointed. Read more
