Monster Tea: Fresh Bubble Tea & Unique Bingsoo Treats in Rockville, MD

You know the reviews are just not balanced at the time of writing as 1.5 star cause there are plenty of 1-star deserving places that make drinks that taste like play dough out of some Asian supermarkets nearby for example. During the peak of quarantine I ordered some drinks and they delivered curbside. They were appreciated at my time of need for a caffeine fix cause others were sheepish about covid and closed... at least the drinks are in the spirit of true bubble tea which is not to make everything from some disgusting powder in order to turn a quick buck - but actually make real tea drinks with delicious and fresh boba...still a ways from that too though. I tried it earlier, when they just opened and they've improved. If they can continue this trend maybe they can compete with some of the premium choices around here like bubbles and tea or gong cha or ding tea. At this point I would give A 3 star. But giving 4 star proactively and to balance the other overly negative review and will check back every few months hoping things keep getting better. Running a business is extremely hard, and so is making good boba, so you know, let's give our community some support and push them in the right direction...and if they fail to improve in a year or two we can take them to task :D

A tasty treat when you are out in Rockville! Monster Tea is quite different from other bubble tea chains like Kung Fu Tea, which is refreshing to me. I've stuck with both more traditional (taro milk) teas and also some of the more adventurous ones, like the matcha rose latte. I would caution that you may want to tone down the sugar at ordering to 50% or 0% sugar. Otherwise, it might be a little TOO sweet for you. Drinks are a little pricier, $5.15-5.75 before boba or jelly, but I think it's worth the price.

I visit this place often, and I enjoy my experience every time. My favorite are the injeolmi bingsoo and the jolly pong slush. Highly recommend!

Went here after kbbq with friends. I was craving popping boba and something fruity, so I got a peach tea with popping lychee bubbles! It's great if you're craving dessert/have a sweet tooth - if not you may want to turn the sweetness down. I also had a friend with me who had their first boba ever here, and he ended up loving it. I'll definitely visit next time I'm in the area.

My boyfriend and I went in to try their bingsoo and we just had to come back and try all the flavors. It was amazing!! the shaved ice part was creamy and fluffy (more like frozen cream, not shaved ice). all the flavors were good but I loved the red bean the most (actually i can go for any except the mango but it's a personal preference kind of thing). it was a tad expensive but I would say it's worth the treat plus the couple (I'm assuming) are lovely and nice. this is definitely our go-to bingsoo place.

This is our favorite bubble tea place! Best chai tea! We keep coming back for it. Their Vietnamese coffee is also really good.

First time trying from here and the bingsoo is good. Highly would recommend the injulmi bingsoo, sweet and flavorful. The portion is big and plenty for more than one person. The service is also very quick and the workers are friendly.

Decent Bubble tea with innovative flavors. It sits inside Pike Kitchen which is similar to a food hall.
