The Good Stuff
Custom orders
You can adjust sugar and ice and add toppings, making it easier to tailor a drink to your taste.
Chewy pearls
Several reviews praise the tapioca texture; one described the pearls as perfectly chewy with sweetness kept in balance.
Fruit blends
The mango jasmine smoothie with mango and peach bubbles is a particularly useful pick for a fruity, refreshing drink.
JBR respite
The cafe has seating and a cute interior that reviewers found a welcome pause from the busier JBR surroundings.
Helpful guidance
One first-time visitor said the staff explained which choices would suit them, useful if the menu feels unfamiliar.
Tips for a Better Visit
Customise sweetness. Set the sugar and ice levels when ordering; one customer chose 25% sugar for a burnt-sugar tea.
Check ingredients. If you want oat milk or another modification, confirm it with staff before paying because one tablet order was later rejected.
Allow time. Avoid a rushed visit if possible: one customer was told freshly cooked boba would take 20 minutes.
Try oolong. Oolong is a well-liked direction, with reviews specifically recommending both oolong milk tea and peach oolong bubble tea.
Try fruit tea. For a refreshing option, consider lemon ice tea or the mango jasmine smoothie with mango and peach bubbles.

The Bottom Line
Tealicious is a bubble tea stop in Jumeirah Beach Residence where you can order milk tea, fruit tea or a smoothie, customise sugar and ice, and add toppings. The most clearly supported picks are oolong milk tea, peach oolong bubble tea, mango pomelo sago and the mango jasmine smoothie with mango and peach bubbles. There is also seating, so it works for a short break as well as takeaway.
The drinks have a loyal following, especially when the tapioca is soft and chewy. Reviews also mention a wide range of flavours and less usual add-ons such as red beans and pudding. The setting is described as a cute respite from busy JBR, and its position near the boardwalk makes it handy during a walk around the area.
There are some practical caveats. Service experiences vary sharply: several customers found the staff warm and helpful, while others reported rude communication, unclear tablet ordering and shouting. Pearl texture also seems inconsistent, with reports ranging from perfectly chewy to hot, sticky or hard.
If you are in a hurry, allow extra time; one visitor was told the boba would take 20 minutes to cook. Pricing is not fully documented, but one review called it a little pricey and another recorded 30aed for tea.
