The Good Stuff
Balanced Sweetness
Several customers found the drinks well balanced, and one regular specifically liked being able to choose a less-sweet version.
Drink Range
The menu goes beyond standard milk tea, with matcha, coffee jelly, popping boba and mochi combinations mentioned by customers.
Helpful Service
Reviews repeatedly describe the team as friendly and accommodating, including staff who explain drink flavours and help customers choose.
Comfortable Seating
The branch is described as cozy, spacious enough for customers and suitable for sitting with friends or waiting for someone.
Family Friendly
Children enjoyed the boba ice cream and mochi donuts, making the cafe a practical stop for families as well as tea fans.
Fresh Preparation
One regular valued that the drinks are made fresh daily, even when that meant waiting for boba during opening hours.
Tips for a Better Visit
Customise Sugar. Ask for a sugar adjustment if standard sweetness is a concern; one review specifically notes that sugar can be customised.
Shake Thoroughly. For the Black Sugar Pearls Coffee Jelly with cream mousse, one customer recommends shaking the drink 15 times for maximum flavour.
Expect Freshness. If you arrive around opening, boba may not yet be ready; one customer accepted a reported 15-minute delay rather than receiving semi-cooked pearls.
Try Brûlée. The Crème Brûlée Boba tea includes caramelised sugar bits, so it is worth considering if you want a more textured topping.
Check Presentation. If the serving style matters for photos, confirm the Chicken Popcorn presentation first; one customer expected a cup but received a popcorn box.

The Bottom Line
Tiger Sugar is a bubble-tea cafe in Port Saeed with a menu that suits both dedicated boba drinkers and people looking for a sweet snack. The signature brown sugar boba milk is a recurring favourite, while the Boba Matcha, Strawberry Mochi with Cream Mousse and Boba Crème Brûlée Latte give first-timers more distinctive options. The pearls are often praised for being soft or properly chewy, and one customer found the drinks balanced in sweetness.
There is more to eat than drinks. Reviews mention Chicken Popcorn, cheese corn dogs, corndogs, chicken bites, mochi donuts and boba ice cream. One family said the children particularly enjoyed the mochi donuts and boba ice cream.
The cafe also has comfortable seating: customers describe the atmosphere as cozy, spacious and suitable for catching up, celebrating or waiting for someone. Service is usually a strong point, with staff described as approachable, helpful and willing to explain drink flavours or recommend something new. A caveat is that one visit involved a wait of over 10 minutes for two drinks because of a POS issue, even with no queue.
If you order the Black Sugar Pearls Coffee Jelly with cream mousse, a reviewer suggests shaking it 15 times; sugar can also be customised.
