Qlicious Bubble Tea & Pastries

Qlicious is an absolute gem of a bubble tea and pastry shop! Yuki, the staff member who helped us, was exceptionally friendly, hospitable, and radiated joy. Her genuine focus on customer satisfaction made our visit extra special. We tried three incredible beverages: a crème brûlée boba drink, a mango smoothie with lychee jelly, and a hot taro drink. The taro drink was so amazing, it even outshone the already delicious drinks my son and I ordered.We also sampled the Japanese cheesecake, and I have to say--it's better than Uncle Tetsu's! That's just my opinion, but the rich, creamy texture and delicate flavor were absolutely divine.If you're looking for fantastic drinks, delectable desserts, and stellar service, Qlicious is the place to be. Yuki and the team make it a 10/10 experience. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend you try it too!

Qlicious is my favorite place for bubble tea/boba in the city! My favorite thing to get is the brown sugar milk (or milk tea) (size small pictured) with tapioca boba. Make sure you specify what type of boba you want as it is separate from the drinks. I also love the cookies and cream drink! They have milk substitutes, including almond and oat milk, which is great if you're lactose intolerant like me! You can also adjust the sweetness level and how much ice is in your drink. Qlicious has the best tapioca boba in the city and they give a fair amount in each drink. Their drinks are so cute too! The staff is always so kind and helpful, and they make the drinks quickly. The only downside is finding parking, but the drinks are so worth it :)

What a cute spot in OTR!! If you like bubble tea, this is the place for you. My husband and I each got fruit tea bubble tea on a hot day and they were delicious. I love getting a mix of tapioca and fruit pop boba for a bit of variety. It's a small shop but service is super fast and friendly. Will definitely be back--they have an extensive menu!

A super cute bubble tea spot not far walking distance from Findlay Market! There is a wide variety of options (including non-dairy milk tea options with oat milk!). They also had some homemade buns (ex: red bean buns, milk bun, and pork buns!). The service was speedy but still nice quality. There isn't much seating so it's best to take it on the go. I got a jasmine tea kumquat tea with dragon fruit and passion fruit popping boba and it was delicious - it even had some candied kumquat in it!

This place is probably the best boba place in the area. Menu is super authentic, and their tea actually tastes really good. They have a wide variety of selections including the ones you usually see in Asian countries! So happy I found my favorite boba shop

Insane menu with tons of options many are unique! Beautiful handmade desserts. The drinks are made with high quality ingredients; it took me a few hours to finish my drink and it didn't get all gross and squishy before I finished it. Staff is super nice too! I got the biscoff cookie bubble tea and my husband got a fruit tea (he isn't a big bubble tea guy but really enjoyed his, it had blueberry popping boba!)

Staff were very friendly. Dogs are allowed. Classic Taro milk tea (70% sugar) was very sweet and makes a good dessert. I recommend 50% sugar if you don't like your drinks too sweet. Boba was a good chewy texture. The kumquat passion fruit slush was very refreshing on a hot day.

OTR's newest bubble tea spot serving up teas, pastries, and other sweet treats. The tea itself is $5.95 but you have to pay extra for the boba or any other toppings. An expensive treat at almost $7 for a small brown sugar boba milk tea. The milk tea was very sweet! Next time I'll have to tell them to make it 50% sweet. You have the option to get 25-100% sweetness level. The drink comes in a cute cup made of heavy plastic. Probably not the best for the environment, but I plan to reuse the cup as long as I can. Shake up the drink to mix the brown sugar and boba before taking a sip! Inside there is limited seating and a plushy boba tea for photos. They carry an array of Asian pastries, macarons, and sweets. The menu is expansive with items like smoothies, Yakut, and various tea flavors. A nice occasional treat on the go!

Based solely off of the Japanese cheesecake...holy moly this was good. Like a cross between a pound cake and a cheesecake, delicious. Very hard to describe but not too sweet with the texture of a dense cake? Peach tea with the popping bubbles was also good.

Qlicious has so many options and unique flavors on their menu! You can customize sweetness level and substitute dairy so there's a drink for everyone. The shop is so cute and smells amazing with the cutest pastry display. The girls in the back are always so welcoming and very fast at making the drinks. Their cups are also so adorable and have little heart stoppers on the lids lol. Definitely my favorite boba shop in Cincinnati!Update: I tried their pandan mango cake roll, japanese cheesecake, pistachio crepe cake, oreo macaroon, snow sponge cake, fruity pebbles cake, oreo crepe cake and lava cake. Wow! You can tell how much effort they put into their desserts and each one had amazing flavor and attention to detail. The crepes are my favorite with over 25 layers! Everything tastes so fresh and soft. Their snow sponge cake is also a must try.
