Whether you’re a ThirsTea Cafe regular or this is your first time trying bubble tea, you’ll find plenty of items you love. Here are a few menu highlights:

Milk tea in flavors including caramel, cinnamon, matcha + taro
Fruit tea in flavors including guava, lychee, mango + peach
Their popular tapioca boba

PS: Not sure what boba is? An essential part of the popular Taiwanese teas, boba are chewy pearls made of tapioca that add tons of flavor and texture to drinks like smoothies, fruit teas and bubble teas. ThirsTea Cafe also offers popping boba, chewy pearls filled with juice that burst when you bite into them for a unique flavor combination, and fruit jellies to add to your tea.

No matter what you order, it’ll be the ideal balance of sweet and refreshing. Plus, with all of their flavor combinations, you could have a drink every day and still never order the same thing twice!

Drooling yet? ThirsTea Cafe is the perfect fit for The Pizitz Food Hall. Grab food from one of their international and continental options and finish it all with a refreshing milk tea or fruit tea.

“We are excited to welcome ThirsTea to downtown Birmingham and The Pizitz Food Hall. ThirsTea brings a fun, tasty, alternative beverage option for our customers while continuing to expand the diverse offerings that can only be found at the food hall.”
—Matthew Hammont, Specialty Leasing Associate, Bayer Properties
