The Most Scrumptious Bubble Tea in Columbus

Yes Sushi

★★★★☆ 4 (9)

"Small cute place for a quick bite to eat for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised on how tasty the sushi rolls were and the staff were very friendly. I plan to visit again since it's close to work!"

Wali Dessert

★★★★☆ 4.3 (81) • $$

"I am in love with their matcha cheese Green tea! For people who don't know Boba, Boba is not just drinks with pearls in them. They have gradually evolved to having layers (like shrek) and a milk cap with frothy goodness is one of my favorite ways to sip on them! Wali's cheesy milk cap is the best I've had, with the slight salty cheesiness really shining through! Plus, their tea has never been dilute in the many times I've been there. Something I find distinctive about Wali is how caring their people are. They would 100% give you recommendations on the best way to make your tea like how they'll recommend that you opt for less ice if you are not consuming it immediately to avoid diluting it. Something that I'll improve on though is their caps. They have recently switched their milk caps to standard seals instead of a lid attachment which makes it harder to sip and churn the milky, cheesy goodness and the refreshing tea in your mouth for optimal enjoyment!"

Rainbow Boba

"Service was quick and the choices were amazing! Prices were a little high but ultimately it was worth it to not only support local small businesses but my children got to experience something new as well."

Racha Tea Boba and Desserts

★★★★★ 4.7 (26)

"Big fan, highly recommend. I've been here several times, although every time I pull up I wonder aloud to my partner whether they're open. They always are!Great place for boba tea. I love taro milk tea and theirs is homemade, not from a powdered mix. Not too much ice, not too sweet, and great boba.But then you wander into the menu of banh mi, bao buns, cream puffs, deep fried Thai bananas, and an ever-evolving assortment of sweet and savory bites that you might not find anywhere else. Be sure to walk past the register and see what they have on hand that day.Slowly but surely we're working our way through the menu. The bánh mì đặc biệt (bbq pork, headcheese, pork bologna, and pâté) is legit. The chicken is quite nice. The pork meatballs are outstanding.It's a short trek to get out there, but I'm always looking forward to our next trip to enjoy some more of the same but also try out a few new things.Oh, and the staff are always fantastic! Especially when we have questions about foods we're not familiar with."

Vitality Juicery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (54) • $

"I stumbled across this place when driving down High Street and made a mental note to try it. It's superrrr tiny! Having more than two customers would feel tight. There's quite a bit of smoothie and juice options. I was surprised to see they offered boba tea and even had healthy snack alternatives. My favorite part about their smoothies is that they have no added sugar. They also sell a variety of pills/skin care/general health products. I bought the Exhilarate Juice while my boyfriend ordered the Island Breeze smoothie. I took a sip of the juice and it tasted like a normal green juice....until the spice kicked in. It was made with Serrano pepper, so I expected a little bit of a kick, but this was far too much. I tried taking small sips because I didn't want to waste it, but I eventually gave up and threw it away. I was really bummed because if the amount of Serrano pepper was dialed back or even excluded, the juice would have been great! They have bottles of opened juice that you can sample, so I guess I made a mistake in not trying it first. My boyfriend said his smoothie was okay, but wasn't anything memorable. I would have enjoyed my experience more if I ordered a smoothie. Personally, the prices did seem kinda high. The cashier was very friendly though, which is a plus! If you ever want to buy their juice, be sure to try a sample first!!"

Koba cafe

★★★★★ 4.8 (40)

"We drove through the city and this place came up the drinks are amazing here, a bit expensive but worth the fresh fruit prices. All the food is delicious and they worked with all my allergies also. Everyone was very nice! Come on by for great food and people!"

Vivi Bubble Tea - Dublin

★★★★★ 4.6 (23)

"This was my first time stopping in here, despite coming to this plaza frequently. I mentioned to the cashier that it was my first time coming here and she patiently went over the menu options with me and explained some customer favorites and answered any questions I had. I also noticed she was willing to do this with another group of customers while I was waiting! I think I came at a slower time, since there was no one before me in line, but my drinks came out very quickly! I loved the coconut milk tea with tapioca, I personally don't love my drinks to be overly sweet so I ordered 50% sweet, with normal ice. I also ordered my fiance the plain mango tea, also 50% sweet, which he really enjoyed!"

Rose Bubble Tea

★★★★☆ 4.3 (14)

"Favorite bubble tea in Columbus!! Every time I have family out of town - Im definitely bringing them here! I actually just stumbled upon them being the closest bubble tea near my home. I tried their taro tea and chai tea it's soooo good!! They are super fast and the drinks are amazing. They always give a good amount of boba too! The shop itself - super cute!! They have great seating and a cute little grass wall for pictures cause you know everyone is taking their instagram boba pictures. The staff is super sweet and nice as well. Their refreshers look so pretty and tasty - can't wait to keep trying items off the menu. The hours are back to normal, I know they were closed a lot during ramadan but they are back to normal business hours. Only closed on Mondays!"

Zen Cha Tea Salon

★★★★☆ 3.8 (324) • $$

"While in Columbus, we came across ZenCha Tea Salon. This looked like a nice spot to recharge to continue our Columbus adventures. Here you can buy loose tea, you can have it to go, or you can sit and stay a while.We decided to stay. Their tea menu is categorized by country of origin. You can also get bubble tea. We got a tea each, I got the cinnamon orange from the Middle East, my one friend got the Strawberry Vally from Germany and my other friend got one of the Chais from India. We also got three scones and Edamame to share. The scones and the edamame first arrived to our table. These were so, so delicious, it's obvious they are freshly made in house. We got, cranberry, s'mores and blueberry. These were warm, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Then topped with butter... Mmm.The edamame was fine.We waited a very long time for our teas, around 45 minutes. When we inquired about why it's taking so long, we were told they ran out of teapots, when the dishwasher is done they would get the tea going. Ok well, that's honest. I asked for water three times, before it had finally been brought out to me.Once the teas had been brought out to us, they came in individual tea pots, and each of our tea cups was different. There was plenty in each teapot for us to share, and enjoy! My favorite was the Strawberry Valley. They were all very flavorful, fragrant and delicious! We had a great time at Zen Cha Tea Salon. I would stop by again when in the area."

Sweet Station

"We got crepes and bubble tea! Both were delicious. Service was quick and easy. Great lighting and decorative display! Will definitely recommend!"

Sabaidee Coffee & Crepes

★★★★★ 4.9 (43) • $

"The best coffee shop in Tiffin! The service is unmatched, the coffee is outstanding, and the crepes.... Unreal. Seriously not a bad option at this place. That paired with the chill vibe is the perfect storm for a great coffee house."

Treaty Bear

★★★★☆ 3.7 (3)

"Every time I had visited this place. I had Great customer service, good prices and selection"

Wukong Express

★★★★☆ 4.1 (40)

"Great Karaage Donburi! Mildly spicy, a nice amount of white rice, covered with fried chicken, corn, furikake, green onion and then eel sauce and spicy mayo sauce. I also ordered the Harumaki which came with a sweet chili sauce. They were crunchy on the outside and tasty on the inside. I would definitely order this meal again, I was stuffed when I finished it."

Crepe Town

★★★★☆ 4.3 (26)

"Unexpected hidden gem!!I love crepes. When I saw that Crepe Town had opened, I had to give them a try on Sweet Tooth Sunday. A young lady and guy were running the show and I ordered the Banana Roll. A perfectly ripened banana wrapped in possibly the best crepe I've ever tasted, then smothered in silky white and dark chocolate with a nice artsy design on top. Around the crepe was a sampling of different crushed nuts and cashews (I love cashews!). There was also a small biscotti like cookie on the plate and marshmallow. Every bite was amazing, with the crepe staying warm till the last bite. Light and airy with a slight dense egginess to it and not overly sweet, I was in Heaven. There's a lot of chocolate and if there's one thing I would prefer if a little less to really let the crepe shine. BUT not complaining at all. The young man asked how everything was and I complimented him on everything from taste to presentation. It was better than expected. He was creating the Sushi Crepe while I talked to him. Very pleasant and you can tell he enjoyed what he was creating. I highly recommend stopping by and trying out the many options here. I will absolutely be back!"

3rd Cup Tea

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"Whether your 1st cup or 3rd cup, this is a great place to find a tea that you haven't tried before. They have a quiet atmosphere, making it a good place to meet with friends. You step right up and they start working on your order right away. They also have a variety of ice teas and other specialty drinks."

Mum Mum Hibachi

★★★★★ 4.6 (12)

"Super yummy, fresh, fast and delicious! We found this place by accident, but really enjoyed our meals! Extra generous portions made sure we had leftovers for two days!"

ZenCha Tea Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (143) • $$

"Absolutely love this place. The owner is the cutest human ever she's so sweet and always smiling she remembers me every time I come in. The food is so yummy and the tea is mainly why I come. It's a very relaxing vibe inside. It's dim lighting and I like to come and sit alone sometimes. But if you are ever craving bubble tea and it's closed like on a Monday, check out first corner ! Right next to zencha. I always get my taro bubble tea from it. 10/10 I love it!! Thanks for being such an awesome place"

Yes Sushi

★★★★★ 4.6 (12)

"The staff was so incredibly nice and personable. My sister and I got the Bulgogi Kimbap, Tuna Kimchi Inari, and Bulgogi Inari for food. We also got the green grape jasmine tea and passion fruit paradise jasmine tea for our drinks. The price is also amazing for the quality and amount of the food. It was such a chill and bright environment too, highly highly recommend."

Enchantea

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"Enchantea just opened in the plaza on Bethel-right where the Brewed Leaf used to be! They were bustling on opening day and I was happy to see it going so well! They definitely take their tea seriously, from their intense looking tea apparatuses to the traditional tools used to make their matcha. The prices are on the high side since they are using high quality tea. They menu was also very unique, with flavors like the pistachio coconut matcha, which was super creamy and had pistachio nuts in it, and the forest whisperer, which had avocado and chewy jellies. Since many of the flavors are unique, it's an adventure to figure out which one you want to try! For their first day, they were also giving out car air refreshers for anyone who followed them on Instagram. They had floral and tea scents! I also liked how they had boxes of loose leaf tea out so that you could smell what they are like! There were limited seating as it is a small space so it would be best to grab and go, especially when they are busy. They call out your number once it's ready but it would be more convenient if they could let you know via text on your phone so you don't need to wait in person.Excited to see another tea and boba shop in the neighborhood!"

"Pros:Varied menuPart of a chainFast, friendly serviceMango slush was pretty goodCons:Takeout mainlyNo dining areaParking is difficult in this areaHibachi was bland, even with sauceThis location does not offer sushi yetPro tip:Worth a try, but there is better hibachi out there"

Cuppa Cha

★★★★☆ 4.4 (13)

"This is kind of a gem. Some bubble tea places don't taste enough like tea. But they nailed it!I stopped by, parking behind the varsity. I was the only customer in there but I'm sure they're busier during the school year.I asked them which were their favorites since the menu was pretty extensive. They told me to get the passion fruit jasmine tea. It came with lychee jelly but I added boba. I regret it now because it didn't need boba, but I wanted to try it. At 50% sweetness, it was too sweet for me. LOL and the boba was too soft for my preference.I'd still come back. I liked the tea overall and was really impressed. Definitely one of my favorites in town!"

Downtown Fruit Passion

★★★★☆ 4 (18)

"As someone who has had authentic açaí bowls in Hawaii, I will say they are pretty good for the Midwest. Both their açaí and pitaya bases lack the respect fruits unique flavor and taste more like banana than anything else. Still a decent bowl. I haven't had anything else on the menu yet. Staff was friendly, store was clean. Overall pretty good!"

Boba Paradise Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (5)

"I was so excited to see a bubble tea shop opening in New Albany! I stopped by on their opening day and could tell things had been a bit crazy as it was a bit mess. I ordered a taro bubble tea and didn't realize the "bubble tea" didn't include boba as it was then an additional cost. I think the total cost was $8 which was honestly pretty steep for a bubble tea. Flavor-wise it was okay, it needed more of whatever they use for the taro flavoring. I may try them again, but not sure if it would be a bubble tea."

Rollies

★★★★☆ 3.7 (26) • $$

"YumOriginal unique ice cream & tea joint !And here in Marysville !Yeah Baby !Love the Rolled Ice Cream with yummy toppings , try it !I still need to try the TEA but it looks good also :)This place is small and gets packed ! Be prepared to wait .... but hey it's fun Can't wait to come back I hope they open more locations somedayCheers"

Darshan Bubble Tea

★★★★★ 4.7 (7)

"So glad to see this new Bubble tea restaurant in reynoldsburg. It has so many choices! The service was very friendly. The restaurant itself is a little hard to see but it's in the shopping plaza. The interior is pretty up to date and service was friendly and they explained many options. My drink was a lychee, watermelon, pineapple bubble tea with tapioca pearls and it was awesome!"

Crepe Stop

★★★★☆ 4 (25)

"Bright and vibrant inside. Quick kind service. We had the Lotus and the Pistachio crepes. I've Door Dashed the cheesecake. Lots of delicious flavors and fresh fruits. I can't eat a whole one in one sitting, but that's ok because I love letting the gooey ingredients firm up in the fridge. Even better cold!"

Teamoji

★★★★☆ 4.3 (28)

"Came on a whim since I had been wanting to try this spot for a while!You order on the screen and wait for your drink, then they'll call your number at the pickup window. Tiny place. There were 2 others ahead of me waiting for their drinks but it doesn't take long at all. They weren't that busy.I wanted a Korean corn dog because it seemed like that had it online, or at least there were pics on their website. But it turned out it wasn't on the menu in the screen? I had ordered a black sesame mochi donut and the osmanthus honey oolong milk tea at 50%. Delicious! I'll be back for more!"

Millions of Milk Tea

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (38) • $

"I ordered two teas, white rice, and pork dumplings via doordash. They are all great!The brown sugar bubble tea was my favorite part-it was sweet and refreshing without being too sweet or milky. The green mango tea I got was a tad sweater than I wanted even though I ordered the unsweet version but it was still good.The pork dumplings and rice were really good as well!! I can't wait to stop by in person!"

Vivi Bubble Tea

★★★★☆ 4.2 (90) • $

"If you want a quick Bubble Tea shop, this is the place for you. The bright, airy colors of the shop just make you feel on cloud 9. The staff were friendly and very quick at making out milk teas. I ordered the Taro Milk Tea, it was delicious. 10/10 would recommend stop asap!"

"Stopped in right as they were about to close and the experience was amazing! Got to original milk teas and they were amazing. Plenty of customizable options! Highly recommend!"

The Chatty Cat Cafe

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I went to this establishment around 2 months ago. I am severely allergic to cats however the cats are so cute. The drinks aren't bad. Everyone there is nice. It seems they take good care of the cats. They make you sanitize your hands and they have good rules in place to protect the cats. Man i was sneezing bad but they were so cute. nothing Benadryl can't fix. lol. Awesome place!"

Bubble & Crepe House

★★★★☆ 4.4 (18)

"This place finally opened up, and it truly is a gem. The people working here are amazing and so polite. My wife and I ordered a chocolate shake with a fruity crepe, and they were delicious. The ambiance was so peaceful in here. They had a water tube fountain in the window in the corner and a photo op corner for selfies and couples. While we waited, they gave us a strawberry pineapple smoothie sample, and it was possibly the best smoothie ever! Give it a try. You've got to check this place out. You will love it."

Freeze Style Ice Cream

★★★★☆ 4.1 (43) • $$

"For months, my teenage daughter begged me to go with her to Freeze Style Ice Cream.I hesitated, because I expected it was some trendy ripoff. Well... I was wrong.Freeze Style is a REALLY GOOD ice cream experience - pick your flavors and toppings, and they pour out your ingredients and liquid ice cream base onto a refrigerated metal plate and "make" your ice cream right in front of you.The preparation is fun to watch. The presentation is really nice. The ice cream is delicious. It's a fun experience. I loved everything about it.The price for a "regular" was around $5.50, which is fine because this is basically a really good sundae. If you want a 99 cent single cone, this isn't your place - go to McDonalds. But if you want a really cool, delicious ice cream sundae-like creation, come to Freeze Style.My daughter loves this place. I really enjoyed it. I'll be bringing my wife and other kids here soon..."

Poke Bunny

★★★★★ 4.7 (36) • $$

"I stayed at the hotel right around the corner and visited poke bunny not once but TWICE in the three days I was there. Excellent ramen! I tried both the roasted veg and the pork belly. It was delicious and soul-filling. The folks behind the counter are very sweet and friendly! It's a small place but I sat at the counter to slurp down my bowl. Will definitely return."

Yoshi Yum

★★★★☆ 4.1 (33)

"Great late night spot for some relatively healthy food. On our visit we grabbed a couple of bento boxes - my wife had the chicken and I had steak. Both had substantial amount of quality food in them. Loaded with fresh veggies, noodles, a few pieces of sushi and some meat strips, their bentos really can't be beat. They have several types of drinks available - soft drinks, different types of tea - but we just went with bottled water. The guy operating the register was really friendly and he gave us a heads up that our food was going to take some time due to a large backlog. We were fine with that.It's great that this place is so close to Gateway Cinema. It's nice getting out of a late movie and having options other than typical bar food. I'll definitely be back."
