Mei Tea - Plainville
Mei Tea
Description
Tucked in a small plaza next to Dairy Queen, this charming, owner-run shop is celebrated for handmade dumplings, steamed buns and highly customizable almond bubble tea. Friendly service and thoughtful non-dairy options make it a family favorite, though single-staff operation means patience is required — expect waits and limited call-ahead or delivery service when the owner isn’t present. Reasonably priced and lovingly prepared, it’s a local gem worth seeking out for quality comfort food and creative drinks.

This restaurant is fantastic! I've been a regular for years, and the staff is consistently very friendly. I've never tried anything on the menu that I didn't absolutely adore. It's a small spot, but it's beautifully decorated and has such a cheerful atmosphere. I highly recommend this place over and over. They have the best steamed buns around!
I've been a regular at this restaurant for years, and the owner is always very kind. I understand that she needs to hire extra help, but the new girl is quite rude and disrespectful. I always call ahead, but my order is never ready when I arrive. She makes me wait in long lines even after the owner has provided her with the details of my call-ahead order. She usually has her boyfriend in the shop helping her with the dishes, but he wasn't there today. If she needs assistance or if the restaurant is busy, that should be communicated so they can bring in more staff, not by taking out her frustration on customers. If the owner isn't present, expect to wait over 20 minutes for your order. I didn’t even receive my order because she wasn’t willing to prepare it.
I’ve been coming here for about 2 years now and I can’t get enough of their drinks. Not only are their drinks good, the workers are so loving and welcoming, I love walking in and feeling so welcomed, I love that they also do cute little drawings of smiles! I also love their chicken bunsWhenever I come it’s always quick service, although I wouldn’t mind waiting as they are so kind
Second time visiting today. The first time was to check the place out before the pandemic. This is a great place to have some dumplings and custom made drinks. Kind of disappointed that I wasn't able to place a pickup order ahead of time. I could havesworn I saw Mei Tea on DoorDash or GrubHub.
