Owner Pengatakoon notes that Manga Tea is also committed to sustainability. “One of the ways we’re working towards sustainability is by using eco-friendly packaging…We use biodegradable cups, lids, and straws that are made from plants, which means they’re not only better for the environment, but they’re also safe for consumption.”
Mochi ice cream and Boba Tea on the menu
“Our menu features a wide variety of boba tea flavors, from classic options like milk tea and strawberry to more unique choices like matcha and taro,” writes Pengatakoon. “We also offer a rotating selection of seasonal flavors, so there’s always something new to try.”
The shop has introduced some great specials that includes a BOGO Thai Tea Tuesday. Manga Tea has also launched popular Cars & Boba events in their dedicated parking lot on select evenings.
