The Story
Tearrific has officially opened its doors in the Heights, bringing an authentic take on Taiwanese brown-sugar milk tea and modern café culture to 11th Street’s growing food scene. The shop’s playful purple-and-green palette sets the tone for drinks that are as pretty as they are delicious.
Each drink is handcrafted daily, with brown sugar syrup slow-cooked in-house, taro root blended fresh, and matcha whisked by hand. It’s a true craft-tea experience — more about flavor and quality than pre-mixed powders.
What to Try
- 🧋 Authentic Brown Sugar Boba – chewy, caramel-sweet pearls with rich milk.
- 🍵 Creamy Matcha Crème Brûlée – smooth, earthy matcha topped with a toasted-sugar finish.
- 💜 Purple Dreams Taro Latte – fresh taro blended to silky perfection.
- 🍓 Fruit Teas – vibrant, refreshing, lightly sweetened.
- ☕ Viet Coffee Drip – bold, aromatic, with condensed-milk cream.
Opening Special
To celebrate their grand opening, Tearrific is offering 50% OFF everything on the menu through December 31 — every tea, coffee, and smoothie.
