Rena Marie's Coffees & Bubble Tea

Amazing selection of coffees, teas, and frappés. Not just run of the mill coffee place drinks. Yummy baked goods, too! Wonderful atmosphere, great location.

Tasty tea, chill vibes, comfy couch, and a decent book selection if you feel like staying and reading a while. Seems like a great little spot to hang with a few friends. Worth stopping in if you're walking in the area!

I walked into this place and was immediately greeted with an identity crisis. Was it a coffee house? Was it a boba tea place? Maybe a lumber yard based on the amount of plywood blocking your view of the only person making drinks? Magazines and Asian newspapers from several years ago are offered to distract you from the abnormally long wait times (I get it though, there's definitely a shortage of employees right now). Perhaps you might want to look at artwork that looks like it was brought home from a preschooler. I simply amused myself by finding spelling mistakes on the plywood menu. If after finishing your drink, you have to use the bathroom, tough luck. They don't offer one to the public. All of that aside, the drinks were very good. I was pleasantly surprised. A bit pricey for what it is, but definitely tasty.

First time visitor craving some bubble tea. No one at the register when I arrived. Stood for a while before someone came out to take my order. I had to ask her few times to remove ice from my drink because I don’t like when it melts and makes the drink watery. She didn’t seem to like this request. My Thai milk bubble tea was over $7 given the National bubble tea shortage, which I understand, but given that please go the extra inch to tailor the order when “no ice” is requested. The lid was left with some liquid on the outside which ended up on my hands.

Thank you for your response. I did get light ice as requested and I do understand that no ice could mean a warmer drink. However the tea can also easily be chilled. Smaller amounts can also be served to avoid higher cost to the business. Overall, it just wasn’t a great experience. But small adjustments could make all the difference.

I absolutely loved the honeydew flavored boba with coconut milk and tapioca!! The staff was friendly and professional. The shop is clean and inviting. The flavors are amazing.

This establishment is another jewel in the city, good hot coffee, and snacks, and such kind and wonderful people, so I recommend that you stop and patronize this nice establishment, you're never know you might even meet your future wife or husband, or just a beginning of a friendship. Bye bye now and don't forget to start your day with prayer, and thanking God for allowing all of us see this light of the day. Peace to you all.

First time visiting this place. I have recently discovered bubble teas and I have fallen in love with them. Tried the honeydew flavor and it was fantastic!!! The tapioca balls were so perfect just the right amount in my bubble tea. Been to other places were I feel they are stingy with the tapioca balls. Love they have 3 sizes of the teas also. Can't wait to come back and try other flavors and other items! 👍

A simple place with lots of menu choices. Both times I've gone the drinks have been great. An oat milk latte and then a hot golden milk Boba tea, both wonderful. I'll keep going!

I'm editing my earlier review....
This is a neat local cafe in the heart of Downtown Winston-Salem on Trade Street. Payment in cash is preferred as they charge a small fee for credit card purchases. My daughter loves their Boba Tea. I usually have to drive by to see if their open whenever I'm downtown. There is space inside to sit and chat with friends or watch the world go by.

Inconsistent hours of operation based on their Facebook page. According to Facebook they say they're open during the week from 4:30pm till 7:00pm. Everytime I've drove by after 5pm they are closed.

Nice diverse menu with an interesting variety of food and drinks.
