    There are few places that approach perfection at what they do. To do so requires a combination of knowledge, experience, passion and an eye for detail. Consistently delivering on all of these is difficult, but for those who strive for those mountaintops, who pursue rigorous excellence in their chosen endeavors, we have 5 stars. You may wonder how a tea retailer can achieve such excellence, but to ask so is like asking why Google has dominated search engines or BMW luxury vehicles. It is where good becomes great that persons seperate themselves and when the quality of your product is great, then great becomes fantastic. Novelteas is a cultural installation, an edifice to tea culture, an intervention tea enthusiasts the world over can only dream of. The sort of Institution for which a 6th star is necessarily required. May you be so fortunate to enter its confines.

    The store is so bloody nice... He always have a chill attitude and always down for a laught... Side note he loves to see first timer's reaction to the popping pearl and I don't blame him. The bubble teas are aaammmmaaaazzziiinnnngg! Nothing more to say.

    I visited there four days ago. Service was good. Nice, friendly owner and store was clean and well kept. A good place for socializing with a small group of friends. It is not a big establishment and there are few seats. It can become congested.

    Sells and serves loose leaf teas, gluten free options on their food menu and they also serve sushi courtesy of bento box. A cozy little place that's air conditioned and well priced

  • 5/5 Marlon W. 7 years ago on Google
    It's a small place, not meant for sitting and eating really but there are about 4 seats. Great tea selection, really broad selection of smoothies, food is good (sushi, rotis, pasta and some nice deserts) and a nice selection of tea paraphernalia from cups to infuses and tea pots.

  • 5/5 Brett C. 5 years ago on Google
    Quick and easy place to grab some sushi and iced spice chai frappee.

  • 5/5 Jessica V. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a delicious lunch at Novel Teas today! I had the Mediterranean salad and my husband had the chicken wrap, we couldn’t help it but try one of the chocolate brownies as well, it was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this as a lunch spot, for a cuppa or smoothie!

  • 5/5 Denia 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing tea shop with a lot of variety and bubble teas. Had a Thai tea here and it was delicious. The red cappuccino (made from Rooibos) is also worth trying, so unique. All the customers are friendly and chatty, and the owner Raj makes sure you are having a nice time. Really recommend!

  • 5/5 Alexaaa 1 year ago on Google
    The inside of the shop is very aesthetic and welcoming. Excellent costumer service! He is always patient and polite with you and will give advice if you are bot sure which option to pick. I highly reccomend trying the taro bubble tea but you must be early since it sells out quite quickly

👍 We went out with friends for a late night dinner and drinks. Our tropical drinks were delicious and both couples ordered fajitas (beef, shrimp & chicken). They were delicious and plentiful but kind of skimpy on the condiments (salsa, sour cream, guac).

👍 Once again looking for somewhere to watch FIFA World Cup and found Sharley's. Lots of TVs, good service, and good food. We watched the first match of the day and wished we had stayed. We shared the chicken nachos and they were very good.
