The Most Delicious Bubble Tea in Milwaukee

Make Waves

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (10)

"I'm reviewing the PB and Jammin smoothie. It's the only smoothie I had because I can't ingest them all right now. Maybe over the next few weeks I can. BUT the PB and Jammin is good, good for me! Not too fruity and just enough PB flavor to let you know its there but not taking over the party."

Milwautea

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"The best honey boba in town! The husband and wife along with small staff do a great job with there small menu. The treats are tasty and their boba is excellent! The teas are brewed, not powder and the smoothies use real fruit. The shop is cute and there's 2 dashboards to keep you busy if they are crowded."

Vida Boba Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (5)

"I enjoyed the food I ordered from here. I ordered around 10-10:30pm on a Friday night via postmates delivery. Here's what I ordered:1. Blended shake with strawberry, banana, and cake batter flavors plus tapioca boba. I ordered the brown sugar tapioca but I'm pretty sure they gave me regular tapioca because it didn't taste like brown sugar. That's fine. The drink tasted wonderful. I liked how the top of it was completely sealed and I opened it by pushing the straw through the plastic seal. That means zero spillage in the delivery process. My delivery driver took a long time and the drink was still plenty cold when it arrived. Next time I would want to try the honeydew flavor!2. Peanut butter cookie (1). I ordered a single cookie but I received two cookies!! Wow! Cool. The cookies were bigger with more stuff in them than expected like different types of peanut and ??white chocolate? Chips and full pieces of peanuts in them along with the peanut butter flavor. They're very decadent. I thought they tasted good. A little more than I was expecting but I suppose that's why they cost what they did. I prefer a basic cookie and this is a beautiful complex cookie."

The Ice Shantea

★★★★★ 4.7 (10)

"So we were next door at the Good Works Brewery and they only serve the beer that was just released and no food service. But they have worked out a deal with the Ice Shantea, which has a few nosh items you can scan and order at your table. We have ordered their thin crust before and find it one of the best pizza's in the whole area. (I'm a transplant from Chicago). So we ordered a pretzel, not huge but good for 2 or 4 as a snack. Their sauces come prepackaged and were delicious (I was skeptical) we also ordered a 12" Crab Rangoon pizza, yes a Crab Rangoon pizza. It was amazing and the little chili sauce package was a perfect pair. We also ordered a 16" mushroom sausage pizza and it was delicious also. They bring it right to your table from 3 doors down in about 15 minutes, I'm sure it can change with busyness. So good and now we will be trying their other crazy pizzas knowing that the Crab Rangoon pizza might put a dent in Chinese food orders around the area."

Coco Rolls

"I'm so glad I finally found a good boba place close to home! The staff were so nice and attentive. They had a huge selection of sweets and boba! Def recommend!"

Elite Boba MKE

★★★★☆ 4.4 (51)

"Finally, Milwaukee has authentic, great bubble tea / boba / milk tea! We have been regulars at their Madison location and loved their milk teas and Asian style pastries, so we were super excited to visit the newly opened Milwaukee location! Clean, modern and bright environment, full tea menu with real, freshly brewed tea (instead of using tea power... if you know you know), chewy boba, good milk and cheese top, flexible sugar and ice level options... they have everything that I look at a good boba shop. I got black tea milk tea with boba and taro (no sugar since taro is already sweet) and hubby got rose Tie Guanyin milk tea with cheese top and boba (less sugar). Both were very good as we expected! My other favorites on the menu are Ancient Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea, Signature Milk Tea with Honey Red Bean, Ceylon Black Tea Latte and White Peach Oolong Tea w cheese top. They currently don't carry the yummy pastries (oh Hokkaido Cream Cheese Cake Roll, Soy Milk Custard Mug Cake, Basque Cheesecake and Japanese Souffle Cheesecake). But you can always take a look at the menu on their website and call the shop and pre order and they will get everything from the Madison original shop."

High Spirits Coffee & Boba

★★★★☆ 4.1 (7)

"Dropped the car off across the street for a little service, and while walking back from a different place, I noticed this coffee shop. I never pass up a Latte option when a new place pops up out of knowhere(for me). Great drink, great chat with the people running the show, and an awesome little space. If you are in the area, give it a try, new places need the lift to get the word out! (pro tip: spend your wait time at a place like this over a car dealership waiting room)"

Twin Scoops

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Delicious. Loved trying the popping bubbles and Horchata tea! Both were better than anywhere I've been before for Boba."

Am Ice Cream

★★★★★ 5 (9)

"Hubby found this ice cream store online and we decided to give it a try. There are sundae choices, cone choices, bubble tea choices, and ROLLED ice cream choices! I had never heard of rolled ice cream before a couple of weeks ago while our hiking club was going through China Town in Chicago. We didn't have time to try it, but I wondered if the Milwaukee area was up on it. Well, it is! This is a beautifully-clean shop with friendly owners. We ended up with just scooped cones because that's what we had in mind when we went looking for ice cream. I ordered first and chose two scoops. They were very ample servings. So hubby had just one. The flavors I chose were very good and he enjoyed his plain ole vanilla. We will definitely come back for rolled ice cream the next time."

Serious Sanji

★★★★☆ 3.6 (25) • $$

"A little gimmicky but still enjoyed it. We came for a busy lunch hour. Our server was pleasant but they did seem a little short handed for the crowd. I loved the pineapple tea with lychee. I got half sugar but it was still plenty sweet. The soup dumplings were good but could have had a little more soup in them. It took a second to get a spoon to eat them with. The robot was adorable lol but as mentioned a little gimmicky.Glad to have a place like this in the area - I'd return!"

Xankia

★★★★☆ 4 (193) • $$

"This restaurant is small but cute and clean! Came in on a Thursday night around 5pm, no wait and only customers. The banh mi was not anything special, too much bread and not enough fillings. The pho was decent, broth was pretty flavorful and good base, on the sweeter side. They definitely skimped out on the noodles and side veggies/toppings (was given approximately 3 individual leaves of basil). I do want to try their appetizers so I will be back but there is definitely better pho in the MKE area, but this does satisfy the initial craving. If it weren't a block away from me, I would skip it."

Just Brew It

★★★★★ 5 (7)

"Enjoyed the coffee and breakfast sandwich. Price was right. Comfortable ambiance. Also there are some gift items for sale. Will definitely return soon!"

Uni Uni Tea

★★★★☆ 4 (30)

"So far really good milk tea I've had. place is clean and you order in a kiosk. :) I will definitely come here often"

Tealux Cafe - Whitewater

★★★★☆ 4.1 (9)

"Stopped here for the first time today. Very clean and well lit, with several places to sit. Very pleasant staff member at counter. Both of us tried the Tealux Signature Milk Tea, which was very good. Want to come back in the future to try the Vietnamese Iced Coffee and the smoothies. We're hoping that this location will add Bahn Mi and other food in future as other Tealux locations already offer. Great option in this area for additional variety of food and snacks beyond fast food and pizza."

Sherpa’s

★★★★★ 4.8 (5)

"Great addition to the area. We love stopping in to Sherpa's for an afternoon snack/pick me up. Some of our favorites are their Macrons, Japanese Honey Toast and Smoothies with Boba."

Icki Sticki

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (14)

"Icki Sticki is such a cool place to go for coffee and Boba. I had the Rainbow Grilled Cheese and a Chocolate Croissant and they were very good! The Manager, Cassie, of the D'Onofrio Drive location helped me with the correct Boba flavor for my mood. It was amazing! She suggested the brown sugar boba and I loved it. Beautiful place also, so welcoming and inviting. I love that there are board games there to play also!"

Bubble tea lab

★★★★☆ 3.7 (18)

"I forgot to take a picture of the drink I got lol but it was so good!! I ended up getting a raspberry tea I think with the blueberry pops. It was the best combo, I highly recommend! The inside is nicely decorated and the service was great."

Bubblelicious

★★★★★ 4.6 (5)

"5 stars for Bubblelicious in the Gurnee Mills mall. I tried them for the first time the other day - they have a variety of bubble teas, tea lattes, and fruit flavored teas. I tried the Watermelon Green Tea - absolutely amazing. It has a ton of flavor of watermelon but you can still taste the green tea too. Staff were also friendly and quick- I would recommend if you want to try some flavorful teas."

SereniTea

★★★★☆ 4.1 (61)

"I love this dreamy little tea shop! One quick note before I dig in: During COVID19, they're currently open for takeout. The staff wears masks and practices perfect social distancing. Came here recently for an afternoon boba brain break. They're menu is diverse and fun. I ordered their lavender milk tea with boba. It was lovely. Slightly floral and sweet--a liquid dream. The second time I visited I got a classic milk tea with boba, which was everything a classic milk tea ought to be. The interior is sleek and impeccably clean. The staff was super helpful navigating the menu (seriously, what amazing people they have in here!) and the prices are reasonable. It's so conveniently located for me, I have a feeling I'm bound to be a regular. Get. To. It!"

Tanpopo Ramen & Sushi Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (345) • $$

"I had Japanese curry for the first time ever at a Japanese supermarket in Illinois a few months ago and have been craving it ever since. Upon searching the Milwaukee area for a place that has Japanese curry on the menu, I stumbled across this place. Decided to finally give it a try yesterday and I sure wish I had come here sooner! The curry here is AMAZING! I could eat it all day, every day. My fiancé ordered tonkotsu ramen which he also enjoyed. We ate our meals so fast, we did not get any pictures to share. HOWEVER, I do have a picture of an adorable keychain I bought after our meal. They have some of these hanging from the light fixtures throughout the restaurant. :) Highly recommend this place if you're looking for some great Japanese food!"

Mochinut Bayshore

★★★★☆ 3.6 (42)

"We pass by Mochinut every time we go to Bayshore and we always drool at the sight of it, vowing to come back. Well, that day finally came! We came for a donut snack on a Saturday afternoon and it was definitely popular. There was a short line, which wasn't too bad of a wait at all. It looked like the donuts were very popular as most of them were missing, but were being replaced quickly with warm fresh ones. We opted to wait for one of these because I really wanted to try the Choco-Nana Granola donut. We also got an all-cheese hot Cheeto corndog because sweet and savory go great together!The wait for the food was probably around 10 minutes, which wasn't too bad at all. We picked a table outside as the indoor tables were all already taken. There is also a cute Instagrammable couch corner inside, but I'm sure that's always a favorite pick and usually very busy.The donut was FANTASTIC. It was light, fluffy, chewy, and so yummy. It had chocolate, banana, granola, and all great things. My only gripe is that it just feels too small for the price point. But as far as donuts go, this is very high up there and I would very gladly eat these over and over.The cheese dog was also similarly tasty. It was cheesy and crispy and paired really nicely with the sriracha mayo we opted for.Overall, a very yummy snack and well-kept place, but the price is the only deterring factor."

Flying Pig

★★★★☆ 3.7 (65) • $

"Exceptional ice cream at great prices, 32 flavors to choose from. Also Countless shaved ice flavors, smoothies, boba tea, candy, popcorn, cookies, etc."

Wisco Nutrition

★★★★☆ 3.8 (9)

"Very great shakes. Love the presentation and the taste. I can tell the owner is very passionate about her business and wants to provide customers with an excellent expiration/product. Will be going there again."

Big Straw Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (14)

"I've had a few different flavors of their pastries and they are all really good. My favorite is the strawberries and cream. The drinks are really good too."

Mochi Ring

★★★★☆ 4.3 (36)

"Nice place. The ambience is very chill, relaxing. They off a jenga game to play while sip on your drink or eat your donuts. The service is great and quick."

King’s Bowl

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (10)

"I eat there often. Typical very small Chinese restaurant in a strip mall with very limited seating. The food is homemade! Eggrolls, homemade! And amazing. I often have the shrimp and mushroom dinner and it is also very good generous portions of freshly cut veggies cooked with my dinner, and the rice is done perfectly! pricewise they are pretty average and the food portions are typically more than adequate. They do take debit and credit card, which is a plus. The service is fast and very good. About the only negative is that the soft drinks are bottled however, I believe their main business is takeout so that would explain why their drinks are bottled. Again, everything is made fresh in their kitchen.Oh yeah, my favorite thing on their menu is the hot and sour soup!"

Happy bubble tea

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"The outside decor of the establishment is noticeable from the street. It looks very inviting, so much so that I noticed it months prior to their opening. When you walk in you're immediately greeted by the owners friendly smile and warm welcome. The ambiance: Very fun colorful decor with tall chairs and tables to sit at if you want to dine in. There's a drink cooler for any bottles or prepackaged drinks you'd like to purchase. It's very well organized. The food: The poke bowl was fresh and delicious. I enjoyed it very much. I recommend making it spicy. The drinks: I've tried various drinks from here Thai, milk tea (hot and cold), taro. All have been super tasty.I highly recommend, you'll definitely want to keep coming back."

Le C’s Patisserie & Tea House

★★★★☆ 4.3 (79) • $$

"Just happened to drive by this place in Middleton and decided to check it out. The cashier was super helpful in selecting a tea from their large menu. I had a lemon cake to go with it which was super moist and tasty...seemed like it was soaked in a little lemon syrup. The cakes in the case looked like art work, and I brought one of the Black Forest cakes home for my husband who thoroughly enjoyed it. Great place if you're looking to treat yourself."

Tsaocaa

★★★★☆ 4.2 (37)

"It's a great spot to enjoy your bubble tea, it has a lot of spots to sit, and many drink options. I love their drinks, and their to-go bag design, it is very cool! The bubble waffle is just okay, it tastes like a normal waffle, not like the Hong Kong waffles that I have tried from other countries.Overall is a good bubble tea spot!"

SereniTea Gourmet Bubble Tea

★★★★☆ 3.6 (8)

"Whenever I'm craving a sweet drink and I come here and order a Thai Milk Tea which is basically a Thai iced tea...and I hate having to go to a restaurant if I'm just craving a Thai iced tea. So I'm really glad that they have a version of it for me to indulge in on occasion. Located at Bayshore Mall....parking can be annoying but I typically can find a spot near them in bit in front. It's hardly busy when I go though. Service is friendly!"

Fusion Poke

★★★★☆ 4.3 (23)

"Great spot for poke, would definitely recommend! Everything was fresh and delicious. The sumo poke bowl has a big variety of toppings that all went really well together. Also tried their wings which were crispy and plenty flavorful due to all the sauce they gave. I only stopped by for pickup and was able to order and get my food pretty quickly in about 15 minutes or so. There are several tables inside to enjoy your food at, although there are no frills in decoration or ambiance. They have a large menu with plenty of ramen and bubble tea options as well. Will definitely be back to try more!"

O2 Lounge

★★★★★ 4.5 (12)

"O2 Lounge is a fun spot in Lake Geneva!There are so many components here...The name screams oxygen bar, but really I think they are a boba bar. My son hates boba, but loves a good Horchata drink. O2 had the best Horchata! You can get any of the drinks with or without boba, and they have the cutest cups with the sealed lids. He gets the horchata sans boba and loved popping the straw through the seal. There are always four choices for frescas, tea drinks, that you an add boba to if you like. After the drinks, you have the oxygen bar. There are 6-8 fragrances that you can choose from. The menu shows six, but they definitely have a couple flavors beyond the menu. The oxygen is expensive, but it is a fun experience and refreshing. Then, they have pastries and alcohol. Crazy combinations, but they are catering to parents waiting for their kid to finish their boba or oxygen time. Again, expensive, but a great novelty location in LG!!"

Bubble Tea Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (7)

"I love trying new businesses so when I saw this was opening I stopped by once I was in the area. The guy working was super kind and helpful and I got a yummy kiwi fruit tea with strawberry popping pearls and it was yummy! There are a lot of flavors and combos I would love to come back and try. Something to note is that this place isn't one you come in to sit, it's more of a pick up and go place. They ask that you order ahead of time online and they make the drink so that it's a quick in and out. The website is bubbleteabar.co"

Candy Cloud - Rockford

★★★★☆ 4.4 (36)

"Moving from Florida we were definitely looking for a boba place in the area so we found this place and it's so delicious! They have menus where you can self-build your drink so that was awesome! Nice place will come again"
