Boki’s Tea House

Cute boba shop right on university campus.Service was fast and overall flavor was goodI ordered the kumquat winter melon tea with grass jelly. The kumquat, although a bit sour at first, surprisingly paired well with the winter melon. Not sure if the little seeds were chia or if it was something else, but I enjoyed it. Overall, this boba shop was close to home and worth trying. I'd come back and try their other flavors.

Afternoon boba break? Absolutely! This place was everything I look for when craving some milk tea. The sweetness level was perfect and consistent.

They added more items to the menu and increased the price slightly. Everything tasted good.

Boki's Tea House is a newer bubble tea place that opened right across from the North Park University campus - the menu offers milk teas, milk foams, fruit teas, flavored yakults, Vietnamese coffee, caffeine-free beverages (such as lemonades), as well as various toppings to add to your drinks.We came here in the early evening, and we ordered:+the Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea - this was milky and cream, and the preferred out of the three+the Peach Orange Lemongrass Tea - tea was not strong as it needed to be and needed to be steeped longer; really wasn't able to taste the peach and the orange flavors, and the drink tasted diluted +and, the Kumquat Black Tea - tea was not as strong as it needed to be as it needed to be steeped longer; couldn't taste the kumquat, and the drink tasted dilutedStaff were very friendly and kind, and the place itself is bright and minimalistic - there were a good number of handful of seating inside.Their corgi logo is super cute!Limited street parking available in the area.+friendly service+limited street parking available

Great tea! They workers are also very kind and helpful! I wasn't sure what to order, but Hanna was very helpful in describing each drink. I highly recommend the Jasmine Milk Tea! You can actually taste the tea flavor and not artificial nonsense! You can also customize your sweetness level from 25% to 100% sweetness. If you want a little bit of sweetness, but still some savory goodness, I recommend 25%! The boba is also sweetened with brown sugar and honey which has another little kick of sweetness!

Update: i came in to get a jasmine milk tea with boba and a taro milk tea with taro paste and crystal boba. The taro drink was solid all around, but the boba in the jasmine tea wasn't great. I've had the boba before, and it was good before. But this time I came in, my boba was tough and dense. The place was empty and quiet, and I liked that they weren't playing music too loud. I was able to read and get some work done. I haven't had a consistent experience with the boba so far. It's been hit or miss :(

We were in the area for a reception and just had to get a post-wedding boba. Boki's was just the place for a refreshing drink. We only got a single drink as we were stuffed from the lunch buffet we just had.Oolong Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, Regular Ice w/ Boba ($6.25) - This was pre-brewed oolong tea that retained a the classic roasted tea flavor. The sweetness level at 50% was appropriate for us - it let the tea flavor dominate while still retaining a creamy sweetness. The boba was appropriately syrup soaked and had a good texture. It was perhaps a bit firmer than I usually like throughout. They leave quite a bit of a gap in the drink - it's not filled to the brim. It's a solid drink in general.I'm not in this area very often, so I can't say if there are better boba places nearby. At any rate, I think Boki's is worth a visit if you're in the area.

The tea is good don't get me wrong... however their pricing doesn't make sense. I asked for a large with no ice and they give me half a cup I asked "u guys don't fill it? " he said "no u would have to pay for 2 drinks" It's a milk tea all you have to do is add more milk and if I'm paying 7$ for a half a cup ADD MORE MILK!.. I asked for boba and they didn't add it. So they gave me a cup with boba. So -I have to open the plastic to pour it in? Honestly u can get tea somewhere else for cheaper and not stingy on milk..Since their response update: If you have audio you can hear them say that I would have to buy Another drink to fill it up. I had repeated TWICE that I wanted boba. I understand a misunderstanding with new staff but bottom line I asked for boba twice and he did say that I would have to pay for another drink, nothing about a 2$ charge. As well as being busy u can see from the photo there is not a lot of people in there.

This review is based on our first visit to the shop. This shop is relatively new. It is clean, spacious and have good amount of seating for those who wants to come and do a little studying. We ordered roasted oolong milk tea with 50% sugar and black tea kilter with 75% sweet. The roasted oolong was perfect-good level of sweetness and nice blend of milk and tea flavor. However, the black tea is a little sweeter but it is still good for those who like their boba tea on the sweeter side. Definitely have to come back and try out their fruit tea drink and yea they have decaffeinated drinks too.

A very cute boba place with a variety of choices. I got the vietnamese mashed milo w/ boba off of their new drinks menu~ 10/10, highly recommended.
