There’s no need to cry over spilled milk—but spilled milk tea is another story. At Spill the Tea, you may very well be brought to tears over the eye-catching colors and mouth-water flavors that bring their bubble tea to life. 

Even if you think you know bubble tea, you’ll find something unique at this Alexandria tea shop. Flavors like rose, brown sugar, kumquat, and even chili salt join classic boba and jellies. Fruit or milk tea, or even the Instagram-worthy butterfly pea tea options, your tastebuds and eyes will be battling to decide who loves this drink more. 

As if that weren’t enough to warrant a trip, Spill the Tea offers a variety of “bites” beyond boba, too. With options like mango with sticky rice, pho, and ramen, you’ll be a bit more surprised by the addition of beef stew. But have no fear: looking through their menu, it’s hard to believe it wouldn’t be delicious. 

Whether you’re posting photos online before diving into your photogenic drink or enjoying an order of summer rolls, there’s one thing you should keep in mind—no matter what you do, don’t spill your precious tea!
