Tiki Turtle's Boba Teas and Drinks

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 chewy and fresh. Tea was great too. I had the classic with almond milk. Will definitely be stopping again. If you love boba and especially if you are lgbtqia+, I'd really recommend you give it a try.

It was okay, but the pics on Google aren't accurate, and the webpage doesn't accurately reflect what they have. They no longer offer scooped ice cream which was what we came for, nor do they offer the mocktails pictured. It is basically a few milkshakes and then boba teas, as well as dippin' dots. I liked my boba tea, but the rest of our crew left with nothing.

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 of the shop- Boba, was not good at all. They do not serve tapioca boba. They are very clear about this once you arrive. They serve alternatives that are not as satisfying or chewy or even tasty (personal opinion, clearly). I’m thankful they had milk alternatives but the tea itself tasted like 90% water, 10% milk, 0% flavor or tea. Other members of our group also had bad experiences with their “boba”/milk tea. The cost is outrageous as well. I really hope the residents don’t have to pay these tourist prices.

Edit: thanks for you reply! My displeasure of the boba is more about the watery nature of my drink and not the unusual type of boba (I love agar, red bean, and other strange additions in drinks). Maybe the worker was overwhelmed or not doing their best that day, maybe the milk alternative was almost out and water was added to get more life, or maybe it wasn’t shaken 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 we are 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 could be 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 out how our order ended up being sooo dang expensive for 3 people getting 2 bobas, 1 fruit drink, and 1 small dipndots.

We've never tried Boba before and my kids really wanted to give it a try. Our server was very informative on the styles of how the drink is made and was very patient while we decided what we wanted. They also have Dippin' Dots in a variety of flavors and everything was so fresh and tasted delicious! I would go back and I highly recommend this place to anyone, especially if you have kids or just like yummy treats.

Lots of boba options and the customer service was excellent! She helped me pick a good flavor combination and it was great. They also have dippin' dots, which my nephew enjoyed!

My kids absolutely LOVE going here! They ask almost daily to go! The owners and staff are super friendly and alway give the best customer service. I also really appreciate that they have allergy warnings and information posted. My daughter has a dairy allergy and she loves that they offer lots of dairy-free options for her!

Awesome experience when visiting on vacation last week. We had a conversation with the owners, they gave us a friendly people discount, which was very nice. The boba was so good, we had to go again and this time we got milkshakes as well, and they were soo good. Some of the nicest people we encountered while on our trip. We really enjoyed going there. 😊

Wonderfully friendly place to spend some time in Surf City. They have a large selection of fresh hand-dipped ice cream, Boba tea, and Dippin' Dots. They have a wide variety of cones including waffle cones, cake cones, dipped sugar cones, and gluten free cones. If you're trying to cut back on sugar and are lactose intolerant, they have a homemade no sugar added strawberry ice cream that is excellent. Conveniently located next door to Chug and Grub with plenty of parking.

We love this shop so much! The kids love every milkshake they ever try as well as dipndots. Anytime my parents come in from out of town we have to stop here because they love it so much. We also love that they have dairy free options. This place has a great atmosphere and the people that run it are so caribg and family frienfly. They go above and beyond! Highly suggest visiting this little shop!

These guys are a gem here in Surf City! They make delicious milkshakes and have great tasting Ice cream as well. They offer a lot of different flavors and are always willing to experiment to hit your sweet tooth just right lol. I personally love their peach milkshake! My family loves going here and we find ourselves trying not to go too much because it’s easy to get addicted 😂 😬. To go along with it, the family that owns it are so nice and great to have a conversation with. Definitely much needed and a place you should absolutely visit while in Surf City!
