Nomad Boba

i worked at a boba shop for years and it's been hard to find a good boba shop. this place is super good. i had the brown sugar milk tea and the milk was sweet and had sea salt in it too! the owner was very nice and patient while i was ordering . the place is marked wrong on the map which is annoying but not the owners fault!

Located on the edge of the Culdesac community, Nomad Boba is a Vietnamese-inspired boba shop situated alongside a walkable hub of boutiques. This little cafe has a beautiful interior with an excellent lineup of creative Viet coffee drinks, iced teas, and milk teas.We tried the coconut coffee boba--which has a great coconut cream and flake topping with perfectly chewy boba--and a creamy tiramisu coffee latte. Both were great with strong coffee (my preference!) and less sweetness upon request.The owner is super nice. He's a recent college grad who made sure our drinks tasted great and the boba was properly cooked. The business has been open for about two weeks, so I'd definitely recommend trying them out, giving them some support, and walking around Culdesac with a great drink in hand!

This is one of my favorite boba places! I love that they have fun unique drinks that I haven't seen elsewhere. My favorite is the coconut ube drink- coconut water mixed with ube. It's so good! The workers are always nice and the restaurant is clean. There's ample outdoor seating in the culdesac neighborhood.

Such a cute spot. Really hard to find for first timers but overall a good experience. I ordered the strawberry matcha boba and a flan and some cheese bites which were really good, however I did ask for a bag to but my items in and they didn't have any. The strawberry was delicious, and the matcha was on point. The employee was very resourceful and gave me a home depot one he had aside to accommodate me. The drink itself was pretty good. The boba was a bit harder than I was hoping but good. I wish they had pictures or better detail. I didn't realize till after I ordered that yelp had pictures of certain drinks. Would go again to try something else.

Phenomenal drinks and sandwiches. I had just gotten back from Saigon and wanted to see if there were any similar tasting places nearby. This place exceeded all expectations. I ordered their Vietnamese Egg coffee and subbed for the Salt foam. Also ordered their Chicken Banh Mi. Honestly just as good as you could get abroad. Quang provided five star level service. I ordered for pickup and he filled the salt foam as I walked in and offered to reheat the sandwich. I say better than Lee Lee's. Will be back for sure

Guyssss! So good omg I got the Thai tea two tone (blue color) the tea was very authentic and I can say that since my step mom is from Thailand and she made me Thai tea since I was 10. I highly recommend coming here for your bobba because the flavors are great and authentic. The owner was so sweet and kind and explained everything from how they make their flavors to how they came up with these recipes. I love the ube flavored latte as well! If I didn't have to drive up from Tucson to get this I would be here weekly! It's a small business so I enjoy them more than Nihao. Ambiance is very cutesy very demure. Highly recommend swinging by!

My partner and I stopped by for a quick bite, and it was our first time here. We tried the Vietnamese Grilled Chicken Sandwich, the Combination Special Bánh Mì, an Ube Milkshake, and Vietnamese Coffee -- everything was absolutely delicious! The service was terrific! The place looks beautiful! Highly recommend this spot!

Great new place we discovered while in Tempe. Loved our delicious and refreshing drinks. We also loved the ambiance and great service. We're definitely coming back.

The store was hard to find, the location was pinned wrong in the maps, but I called and a gentleman helped me find the store. We ordered 3 small drinks, 2 milk tea and an energy drink to try it out. From the time we scanned to pay to receiving our drinks 30 minutes had passed. There was only one girl working who seemed new. I asked if the Ube drink had coffee and it took a while to get an answer and she was also struggling to make the drinks. Honestly not sure why she was left alone to run the shop when she was still learning. She said the energy drink was Red Bull mixed with flavor but to my husband's disappointment it didn't taste like Red Bull. Once I finished the milk tea, the boba was just clumped in the bottom in one big soggy ball. There was another couple that walked in after we had just ordered and they ended up leaving because the wait was so long. The shop had some couches, and no wi-fi. I don't know if we'd try this place again.

Stopped by for a work day treat based on former boba shop employee's review and was not disappointed. Google map told me to turn into the apartment complex parking lot. If you go straight East on Apache instead, there is super convenient parallel parking on Apache right in front of the door. Ideal. There were some students there when I arrived. A nice girl greeted me as soon as I walked in. I really like the lighting here. LEDs at all levels that would be really flattering for photos. Small modern seating area was a cozy place to sit whilst waiting under 10 minutes. I relocated from San Francisco where I was spoiled by excellent boba, so my expectations were high. My matcha latte 25% sugar, 25% ice, sub coconut milk with boba was a little bit of heaven. I highly recommend this place and will be back.
