The Good Stuff
Signature drinks
Burnt sugar milk tea is a standout for regulars, with burnt sugar oolong also recommended by visitors.
Non-dairy choices
Non-dairy milk alternatives are available, useful if you avoid regular dairy.
Calm setting
The cafe is repeatedly described as cozy and peaceful, with glass windows that give the space an open feel.
Late hours
One review says the cafe stays open until 2 am, making it a useful late-night bubble tea stop.
Chewy pearls
A visitor specifically praised the pearls for being chewy and satisfying, alongside a well-balanced tea.
Family options
Reviews mention kid-friendly drinks and desserts, including chocolate mousse cake and red velvet cake.
Tips for a Better Visit
Lower sugar. If you prefer lightly sweet drinks, ask for less than your usual level: one customer found even 25% sugar too sweet.
Try signatures. Start with the recommended Yakult Mango Tea or Burnt Sugar Oolong if you want something beyond a standard milk tea.
Check options. Ask about non-dairy milk and add-ons when ordering; reviews say both personalisation and non-dairy alternatives are available.
Late visit. The cafe has been reported open until 2 am, so it may suit a late-night drink run.
Parking. If you drive, reviews mention free parking and parking behind the mall.
Branch caution. Check the map before setting off: one visitor said the branch appeared incorrectly on Google Maps.

The Bottom Line
Tealicious is a bubble tea cafe in Al Barsha for milk teas, fruit-based drinks and customisable orders. The menu includes classics such as oolong and green tea alongside more distinctive choices including Yakult Mango Tea, Burnt Sugar Oolong, taro and matcha. Add-ons and non-dairy milk alternatives give you room to tailor the drink.
The setting is a major part of the appeal. Reviews describe a cozy, peaceful interior with an open feel from the glass windows, while another visitor liked the wood-look design and heavier music. It suits a relaxed catch-up, casual date or late-night drink; one review says it stays open until 2 am.
Parking has also been described as free, with spaces behind the mall. There are useful extras beyond the drinks, including kid-friendly options and desserts. Chocolate mousse cake and red velvet cake were particular favourites in one visit.
Staff are often praised for being welcoming and for helping customers choose a flavour. There are a few reasons to order carefully. A classic oolong at 25% sugar was still too sweet for one reviewer, and one Al Barsha review reports repeatedly over-boiled tapioca.
Pricing is another consideration: some customers found it high, including a reported 33 AED latte. Check the map too, as one visitor found the branch location inaccurate on Google Maps.
