Seven Tea - Bubble Tea & Noodle Bar
Bubble tea store
👍👍 I have tried several bubble tea places in leicester. Seven tea is the best so far. Lots of options compared to other places. My favourites are the fruit teas. I don’t like the cheese teas as much. The staff is always lovely and helpful. Highly recommend this place.

Takeout restaurant
😠 *UPDATE Guess they didn’t keep up the good work. Over the past 3 months I’ve called to place orders for delivery. Keep getting a rude man who when I go to place my £15 order says it’s too small for delivery. I do only live less than 10 mins away but got kids sleeping so I can’t go out. Such a shame....
