Sweet Bamboo Boba

My fiance and I came to try this FDIY bubble tea. This place is really fun especially with all the games. Only feedback most of the teas are REALLY sweet. I am grateful that the service let us taste all the teas first.We both got the 0 sugar oolong which tasted pretty good. The mango was very strong and the boba was pretty good textures and not super sweet. They also mentioned on Monday-Thursday you can bring your own switch and play in store. It is a great place to come with friends.

In search of boba, I am excited to find this shop off the beaten path on my way home. Oh so dangerous! lolSweet Bamboo Boba is veteran owned. The concept of DIY boba first of its kind is fun! Flavors for base and additions are expansive and all machines are operating. Store attendants assist is needed in certain selections (clearly noted) but self service is neat! Be sure to check the board of recommended blends and recipes, and desserts too! Clean space, games, and things for hanging out.I enjoyed my taro with brown sugar jelly and boba. Excellent texture, creamy taro milk, right amount of sweet, and the 24oz wasn't enough! Yes, I will be back ;-)*military and first responders discount applied with proper ID. inquire about their rewards program.

When I saw this on social media, I had to check it out! It's the first time I've heard of DIY boba in the DMV area & it's a such a unique concept so I hope to see this local business grow!We my fiancé & I got there, the owner asked us if we've been there before, which we haven't so he happily showed up how to process worked & even gave us samples of each flavor. I've never met such an attentive owner so it was lovely being attended to & hearing about his favorite flavors. I got a jasmine tea with honeydew & wintermelon syrup (wish I had only chosen one or used the sample cups to add a smaller amount since it was super sweet for me. And I ended up getting a lot of different jellies aside from tapioca, which is usually my favorite part. For about $8 a cup, I thought this was a great deal! They even offer a military discount too which was really nice esp for this area. The place is definitely very decorated & oriented towards kids and families, rather than young adults, as I can see by all the decor & bright colors. Despite this, I still I told my friends about it so I hope they check it out since it was so fun to mix & match! My only feedback is I hope they bring a vegan milk option (ex: just replacing a spout to add a little bit of oat or soy or almond milk) to the drink for people who prefer plant based milk drinks (the milk drinks here use a nondairy creamer but it doesn't appear to be vegan) but otherwise we'll definitely be checking it out again & I hope this local business sticks around! I enjoyed the tapioca & jellies, they stayed soft even for the next day!

If you like Boba tea you need to try this place! There are dispensers for the different teas, syrups, boba and toppings. It's one price no matter what you add. There are milk based teas and non milk based. You add in the sweetness based on your preference. The staff were friendly and helpful and allowed us to sample a few things before we started. It was also very clean. We will definitely go back!

We wanted to try other boba places and found this one. You make your own boba! The customer service was great. The workers were very helpful in telling us how to make our own boba and how to use the machines. They also gave us ideas since it was our first time. I got coconut boba with rainbow jelly and strawberry puree. There is definitely endless ways to make your own. They also have recipes on the wall and the cute games give it a nice nostalgic feel. Will definitely be going back.

I absolutely love this place. Ian and Mia were so nice, pleasant and polite. They were both so friendly and helpful. This is a great shop, with Do-It-Yourself Boba, how unique is that! I loved the Mango Macaroons. I love the decor, with fun games for the children or the "Child" in you and the cute soccer tables. This place is truly a vibe and the Boba is amazing.

Super cool concept! Create your own bubble tea combination via dispensers in the wall, just like frozen yogurt. The woman working at the register greeted us when we came in. Since it was our first time visiting, she was kind enough to explain to us how the system worked, with the tea, syrup, and topping machines. There is even a sealer once you are finished to put the traditional boba lid on your cup. I decided to do the jasmine milk tea base with half strawberry half mango syrup, and then added strawberry and mango jelly with light ice. I really liked that I could decide my own sweetness and add just the right amount of ice for me. I highly suggest grabbing a straw to mix it and do a quick taste test before you seal the cup in case you want to add a little more of something. The atmosphere is a plus, with board games and mini soccer you can play with your feet and your friends while you drink your boba. The prices are pretty standard compared to a typical bubble tea place. We'll be back!

Very excited for and happy with my experience at sweet bamboo boba. Place is clean, lots of free games and activities to play while you are hanging out. They have a bring your own Nintendo switch to hook up to their TVs (very dope). Plenty of options for your boba and tea desires. I got a mix of taro and Thai teas with boba and jelly. It was delicious. I love that you can customize your sweetness levels. Will come back for sure.

My kids brought me here so enthusiastic and happy to show me the new Boba shop. It did not disappoint!Very clean. The owner is just lovely and helpful. It's self serve Boba so we get to customize to our heart's content.Many board games and other fun things to do. We will now be regulars.

This place is a gem in Maryland! The owner took his time to walk us through how the dispensers work. The toppings, the tea, and the flavors -- they're all top tier. I worked at a boba shop myself in the west coast growing up, so trust me when I say the tea that's used here is the real deal. The boba's cooked perfectly too.The vibe and the furnishing reminds me of the boba shops I used to go to and hang at as a kid. There's games, little soccer tables, and a lot of seating. If I were a student, I'd be a regular here. Do homework, hang with friends, snack on the food and the drinks. Really like this place, and I'll be coming back each time I'm in the area!
