We have been to this place a few times and tried their different varienties of milk tea boba and fruit tea boba and also tried their cheese and nutella taiyaki. Everything was so amazing and delicious. Service was good and friendly. Coming back for more to this place.

Amazing place. Visited a couple months ago and this week, when they had their official “Grand Opening” with a few artist stands selling cute jewelry and plushies. The bobas are all gorgeous, we had a valentines rose matcha and brown sugar milk matcha. The rose one had honey in it and was sweeter, which I loved. The brown sugar milk matcha was less sweet, which my boyfriend loved :) The tapioca was fresh and chewy. Also had their Nutella tayaki, which was a bit on a smaller side but delicious. We happened to play the board games for a while and made great memories. The staff was very friendly and the bathroom was very clean.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Tao Boba! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with such warm and welcoming service. The staff went above and beyond to explain the menu, offering recommendations and making sure I found the perfect drink. Their patience and friendliness truly made a difference! Not only was the service top-notch, but the atmosphere was also incredible—cozy, inviting, and the perfect place to relax and enjoy a delicious boba. You can tell they put thought into every detail, from the decor to the overall vibe. If you’re looking for a spot with great drinks, amazing service, and a wonderful ambiance, this is definitely the place to go. I’ll be coming back for sure! Highly recommend!

Tao Boba is amazing! Their Thai tea tastes just like it does in Thailand—brewed traditionally with real tea leaves, not powder. We also love the Ube Latte, made with delicious house-made ube jam. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. Highly recommend!

We were lucky to spot Tao Boba on our way back from Denver Union Station. They have a wide selection of Boba drinks. We ordered Ube Creme Brulee, Dalgona Coffee, Passion Fruit Green Tea - we loved all of them. The ambience inside is a perfect if you are looking for a delicious and healthy alternative and a cool spot to hang out. Their service is so good, I can see myself visiting this place more often, it is one of the best new hangout spots in Denver.

Besides niche specialty tea shops such as Milk Tea People, Ku Cha and Tea Cloud, found it was not easy to find more mainstreamed boba tea shops downtown. Luckily ran into one behind the Union Station. Tao Tea, formerly Daboba, was at the ground floor of Cadence Union Station and was spacious and modern looking compared to other boba places in town. They had a variety of boba drinks, including roasted brown sugar and regular brown sugar boba milk, milk tea, chocolate, matcha and espresso. For boba milk tea, they had the one with black tea, Jasmine green tea or Japanese oolong tea, as well as Thai tea, grass jelly milk tea and Chinese milk tea. They also had fruit tea, frappe, yogurt drinks, creme brule and hand whisked matcha latte and hot drinks, including artisan coffees. Indeed quite a selection. For dessert lovers, they had freshly made Taiyaki. Ordered the roasted brown sugar boba milk tea with red bean Taiyaki. The boba was well prepared and chewy. The roasted brown sugar was aromatic and had a hint of smoky and earthy taste, but not overly sweet. What surprised me most was the Taiyaki. Very authentic and probably the best tasting one in town with the right crispy texture and lava like red bean paste filling. Don't know why they changed the name from Daboba to Tao Boba, but the offering was pretty much the same.

Tao Boba is hands down the best spot in the city for all your matcha and ube needs! They have such a unique selection that you’ll find yourself ponders what to get, however you can’t go wrong! I love the ube creme brulee it’s the tastiest drink I’ve ever had! Tao Boba is SO delicious, reasonably priced, and the staff is always so kind! Go check it out!
