Mouthwatering Bubble Tea in Phoenix

EN Boba & Tea

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (38)

"I was shocked that I didn't know this establishment existed until I went for a birthday event with my best friend and sisters. Upon entry we were greeted by two workers (it appeared one was being trained on how to use the register and make teas). I opted for a matcha milk tea with strawberry popping pearls; while the tea itself was fine, I found the pearls to be very, very sweet and artificial tasting. My friend went for a fruit based tea and my sister opted for the brown sugar boba milk tea - but none of us found the tea to be out of the ordinary / special. Pricing felt comparable to other shops around the valley. The establishment itself is pretty big; since we went for an event there were lots of vendors set up inside (more than 10!), and it seemed like on most days there are games that customers can play as they drink their tea. Not sure I'll be coming back here any time soon, but I also won't be actively avoiding this place!"

Teana Boba Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (8)

"Love this place! We come here often to get Boba. I can't say I have a specific fav because all of the drinks are great. We consistently get the crab bowl. It's enough for our family of four to share.The young lady at the front is always nice and inviting."

Pop 'N Tea Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (471) • $$

"Such a cute spot! The popsicles are so cute and tasty. I ordered the matcha boba and it was so good. The boba was perfect it wasn't too sweet and the perfect amount of chewiness. The service was good and the drinks came out quickly. The parking is also easy and available for the whole shopping center. My drink cost me $8 which is pretty typical for boba. I also really appreciated that it was dairy free"

Milk Run

★★★★☆ 4.4 (672) • $$

"The Arizona heat is no joke! It was still warm out during the evening, so we went to grab a few refreshing drinks before heading back to the hotel. Milk Run is in a small plaza on the corner of 7th and Camelback. The parking lot was mostly full, you might have to wait until someone leaves. There's another lot behind the building if you give up. Just a short walk away. They are connected to the neighboring restaurant Pho Thanh. Inside you'll find a handful of tables and benches. Surfaces were sticky and not very clean, have your wet wipes ready. Good variety of milk teas, coffee, sparklers (carbonated lemonades), slushies, smoothies, sweet teas, and ice cream flavors to choose from. You can even get milk tea topped with ice cream. Toppings and dairy substitutes are available for additional charge. Peach Mangonada - a salty, sugary, sour slushie! Perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. The tamarind straw adds more spiciness and tartness to the drink. Classic Milk Tea - okay tea flavor with a decent silky consistency thanks to the milk The boba was chewy. Somewhat unsweetened though, I suspect it should've been soaked in the sugar syrup bath for a bit longer."

Boba Cutea

★★★★☆ 4.2 (58) • $$

"Really cute and nicely decorated boba shop ! You can win prices from the machine and trade up to bigger plushies ! Their drinks are good and have more food options ! I got the dragon fruit milk tea and it was sweet and delicious . Service was pretty fast we went during the week"

Dragon Tea

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (24)

"My kumquat lemonade with starfruit jelly was really tasty, but I initially received the wrong drink even when I verified it with the cashier. For $8 for a lemonade, it would have been nice to receive the drink correctly the first time when it was confirmed. Also, there are two sizes and I asked for the "regular" but was told the drink only came in large and I asked for green tea, lemonade and starfruit jelly and the cashier said they couldn't do it. I'm not sure if that's because they didn't know how to ring it up on the register or what but that seemed strange to me. There is also a small patio in the front, but on a Saturday night there were 2 homeless people sitting out there which didn't make us (a group of 3 girls) comfortable enough to hang around. The drink was good but the service was lacking!"

Ume Tea

★★★★☆ 4.1 (60)

"I found yet another PINK themed boba shop, thanks to the gram!! I got suckered in when I saw they have the surprise cups here. It's a wide open space with a good amount of seating and enough tables to hang out with a group of friends. At the time of our visit, we almost missed it because it doesn't have a proper sign over the doors, just a banner. It's located in a wide open shopping center next to am Asian market with lots of parking available. I can't remember the name of the Asian store, but the shopping center looks run down and could use a revamp.We stopped in on our way home to keep us cool from the sweltering heat in the valley. We ordered 4 drinks and some popcorn chicken. I like that you can choose what flavor you want for your chicken. They also have curly fries. The drinks are really tasty, and you can adjust the sweetness level on most drinks, which is always nice. The chicken was made fresh to order, and they have a few sauce options. Prices are average, and the wait time was minimal.They also sell cute merch here like hair scrunchies, slap wrist bracelets, boba drink bags, etc. I appreciated Isaac's customer service when I went back to order a 2nd drink when I opened my 1st cup to find a PINK Kirby keychain!! LOL You know what my favorite color is, so I kindly placed my order and just so happened to mention that if the "powers that be" could make some blue or white magic happen, I'd be stoked! Well.. the powers came through, and my 2nd cup revealed a blue & white bear (I think? Or Is it a wolf or dog? lol) keychain, haha! This place rocks, and even if the entire place bleeds pink, I'm a fan!I'll be back sooner or later, and you better bet your bottom dollar I'll be manifesting blue/turquoise vibes coming out of my 3rd cup from Ume Tea! Thank you, Isaac, and the rest of the staff for making our first experience here a memorable one!"

Boba Whaaat

★★★★☆ 3.6 (85) • $

"This place has never been a disappointment. I love the taro boba here! Different from other boba spots they have a lot of food options here. You can get Pho, Nachos, Fried Rice, Tamales, or Enchiladas here. This place is all anime themed so eating in is very comfortable!"

Bomboba

★★★★☆ 3.5 (415) • $$

"Went back to give another chance. This time the service was fast and good customer service. We love everything we ordered including the appetizers. My favorite is the calamari and the smash avocado. ( not to sweet just the way I like it). Definitely will be back to try their other goodies."

Tea & Crepes

★★★★☆ 4.1 (10)

"Jianbing Crepe 煎餅 is a traditional Chinese street food item, similar to crêpes. It is generally eaten for breakfast and hailed as "one of China's most popular street breakfasts."Sitting in Arizona Mills' newly renovated food court, Tea & Crepes is an adorable stand with dinosaurs on the wall and all that fun stuff. The Cheese Peach Tea I ordered was delicious and refreshing. It wasn't too sweet, and the taste was balanced. The Chicken Crepe I had wasn't what I was expecting but I wasn't disappointed. It had lettuce, some wonton sheets, popcorn chicken, and three different types of sauces. I was told it would be spicy but I didn't find it to be spicy at all. It's not a deal breaker though. I believe it was just under $20 for both items after tip.The staff here is friendly! Stand by the glass pane if you want to watch them meticulously and carefully make your jianbing. Come here and support Tea & Crepes!"

Scoop and Joy

★★★★★ 4.7 (589) • $$

""1,000 stars" is what my six-year-old daughter said she'd rate Scoop and Joy. It's such a fun ice cream shop! They have lots of flavors of ice cream and lots of unique cones like pretzel cones, chocolate chip cones, and more. When you order, the staff ask if you want the "surprise." Say yes. They will create an animal or face from candy like little cookies, M&Ms, and more. My daughter got such a kick out of it!"

Ti-Li Boba

★★★★☆ 4.4 (73) • $$

"Popped in here to get some taro root while while waiting for my dinner. The vibe is chill, and the staff are polite and welcoming. They've got an extensive menu that can fix you up."

My Tea

★★★★☆ 4.1 (199) • $

"I came here with a new friend and we grabbed some boba to go due to seating being available in the shop. I got a very interesting boba tea flavor that I can't recallThe service was quick and friendly and the added punch card is a bonus. The shop was clean as well which made me feel safe with covid being present in our world."

Boba Day

★★★★☆ 4 (79) • $

"This place is awesome! Been here multiple times. Henry is so sweet and is always down to talk and make whatever crazy drink you want! The store is always so clean and a nice spot to hangout. They have a chalkboard wall for the kiddos!This is my favorite drink for my fruit lovers:Black tea + lemonadePassionfruit, strawberry and pomegranate flavorStrawberry & blueberry pearls mixed"

Tea Land

★★★★☆ 4 (19)

"We went back a few days later and will be regulars! As a point of constructive criticism, instead of noon, could you open at 11am? Would be nice for early lunch."

Pho Avina

★★★★☆ 3.9 (447) • $$

"Came here for try the desserts! Pho Avina's fruit shaved snow is incredible. We were quickly seated at one of the dozens of tables by staff. They were efficient in taking orders and quick to bring out the desserts. We ordered taro, coconut, and mango flavors which were perfect for sharing amongst 6 people. Would definitely get this again!"

The Alley

★★★★☆ 4.3 (66) • $$

"The family was craving some boba when we arrived to Scottsdale and decided to stop here as it was the closest location on the map to where we were. It's very close to ASU and a bit hard to find - it's in a newly developed complex and my map took me to the parking lot, so I had to drive around to the front where the shop is. No parking in front of the shop so hubby dropped me off and he parked across the street in the lot to wait for me.The shop is very trendy and airy. Love the deer decor of this place. Plentiful seating and lots of cute merch for sale. They have a lot of the typical boba drinks as well as some creative spins on others.I went to the kiosk to order and got the Jasmine Green Tea with Lychee Jelly, the Ube Taro Smoothie with boba, and the Brown Sugar Deerioca Creme Brulee Milk (with oat milk). I ordered all of these less sweet and it was perfect, although the green tea probably could've stayed at regular sweetness as it was quite strong. I had to pick up the ube taro smoothie, because I love ube and taro and to have them both in one drink was magical! The Deerioca Creme Brulee was so good as well! There was a pudding/creme brulee mixed into the drink and it was fun to slurp up.The only improvements I could suggest is to have fresher boba (ours were kind of hard) and to speed up their service. We were the only people they were making drinks for and we waited over 10 minutes for our drinks."

Bing's Boba Tea

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (11)

"Saw the signage after grocery shopping across the street. I mixed matcha and Thai tea then added boba and drank every sip which is not always the case for me. They had tons of options and next time I'll try another just for fun. There is a cute patio outside too since it shares space with the Gecko Grill. There's a bing's rewards program so don't forget to sign up for that"

Krispy Dogz

★★★★☆ 4.4 (82) • $$

"Delicious drinks and dogs!This place has such a dope ambiance! It is truly a place where you can bring your laptop, grab a corner, and eat some good treats. They have a variety of teas, bobas, fruit jelly, blended drinks, and more. I love tropical fruits, so seeing Lychee and Passion fruit on the menu is a huge win. My kids love the teas. They are a little too sweet for me. However, I added water, and it was perfect. I do believe you can adjust the sweet level for more balance. Now, for the star of the show, the Krispy dogs! Filling-Beef,Cheese, or half and half Coating-Hot Cheeto, Churro, Krispy,Potato, or Classic. What I love is that meat is a great quality beef, and the coating options are legit! The Krispy Dog is probably my favorite because it offers a nice balance of sweet and savory, which compliments the hot dog perfectly. My son loves the Hot Cheeto because what kids aren't obsessed with hot stuff right now.I would have given them another star if the dogs were crispier. If the Hot Dog is called Krispy, then I expect a crunch when I bite it and soft on the inside. Circa Ala Hot Dog on the Stick mall days, man miss them. However, I brought the dogs home and popped them in the air fryer for a few minutes, and it truly was another level!!! All in all, this place is solid, unique, and great customer service. I can't wait to try the Kimchi fries, which I will update my review when I do. Until then, go get one!"

Boba Toko

★★★★☆ 3.5 (64)

"Iris T., you make me feel boba-ly!When a Yelper from Honolulu is paying your state a visit, you gotta get boba! I was really torn between choosing a tried-and-true place or a new place where we can experience it together. The new place won.I ordered a peach oolong tea at 50% sweetness, and while a little too sweet for my taste, it wasn't bad.Boba Toko is a great place to grab a drink while shopping at Tempe Marketplace. I don't think I would go out of my way to visit this boba spot, but I wouldn't hesitate to grab a drink if I was waiting for a table at Gen or something."

Mochi Fresh

★★★★★ 4.7 (375) • $$

"This is me favorite boba place ever! The tea (caffeinated and non caffeine) are delish and the boba is always fresh like their namesake! Yuuuuummmmmm! They've freshened up their menu too and I love the watermelon oat milk bubble milk drink!"

Best Donuts

★★★★★ 4.8 (184)

"I used to stop by this donut shop all the time because it was my customers favorite. So glad they turned me on to the ham & cheese croissants. This place always has fresh donuts. On todays visit I had the ham, cheese & jalapeño croissant, it was bigger then my hand, fluffy, buttery, crusty goodness. Super messy to eat but don't let that stop you from getting one for now and another for later. You'll definitely need to vacuum the car if you eat it on the go (def worth it tho!).They also sell croissant sandwiches & boba drinks. Located next to South Mtn CC in the Target shopping center (on the 24th Street side). Plenty of parking, service is fast."

Boba Tea Company

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (43) • $

"Our family always stops here for a Boba drink when visiting the mall. Sony drink combinations. I like how transparent the menu is and how you can see every flavor they put into each drink. The names of the drinks as so much fun. My favorite part are thr names of the add-ons like nunus, gobis and Boba. Ordering the drin by name with the add-ons is such fun to say. Popping the seal of the cup with the giant Boba friendly straw is so satisfying. We usually take off the seal for our little ones to drink so they don't suck up the add-ons in the straw unexpectedly and choke on them. They had a few sips from. The straw today like big girls, but cracked the seal in the end to fish for the goodies at the bottom with a spoon. Fast friendly service all the time."

Koko Boba Tea House

★★★★☆ 4.4 (79) • $$

Arizona Donut

★★★★☆ 4 (250) • $

"The donuts are very good. The sandwiches are "ok". I would consider the croissant sandwiches with egg, bacon, sausage and cheese to be the best. Not the croissant with ham, jalapeños and cream cheese. Or even the one just with cream cheese. You just get a huge croissant with BARELY any filling. I even had cream cheese missing. The only reason I order from them is because the donuts are so good. And that they do have breakfast choices. I will keep trying this place though."

Bubble Cups

★★★★☆ 4.2 (216) • $$

"Let me start by saying the people who waited on us were so very pleasant and nice.The milk tea with boba is pretty solid. It's fairly sweet with a nice chew. Did I mention the people working here are very sweet? That's why the next part is sad to have to writeThe Taiyaki (fish cones, for the ign'ant) was kind of a let down. They're more like pancakes than waffles. Remember that Office episode where the Michael Scott Paper Company had their rectangle pancake breakfast to solicit new clients? Even Creed didn't want them... well these aren't that bad, but they're not as good as the fish waffle cones at Snowtime.And mine came out ten minutes after my wife's did.The plus is that they use scoops vs soft serve.The people are great, the boba is good, but I'm going to have to pass on the Taiyaki"

Boba Cutea

★★★★☆ 4.3 (36)

"Super cute as most boba places are. They had quite the variety and I liked how the different types had their own category. The service was great as she helped explain the menu and made some suggestions. I tried the galaxy boba (w/ soda not tea) and the mango ice cream one. The ice cream boba was amazing!! So refreshing on this 110° day. It made the walk back to our hotel worth it."

Meemay’s Ice Cream & Milk Tea House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (9)

"My son LOVES Boba and when I told him there was a new place by us that had Boba we had to go the next day. I really liked that I could go to the Kiosk and take my time building my son's drink. It really allows you to personalize your drink on every level. From the sweetness level, to flavors and type of Boba. My son loved his. The place itself is so cute inside. It's cozy, has games, a few places to sit and some games to play. I also noticed the offered some fun noodles and snacks if you wanted something other than Boba, milk tea, or ice cream. We are looking forward to going back and trying some new things to us."

Teacup

★★★★☆ 4.1 (283) • $$

"Super cute spot. Trendy, IG worthy pic spots. They have games in the back you can play at your table, a foosball table and a mini claw machine. Loved it upon entry. So why no 5 stars, this was tough. The drinks were not good. Vietnamese coffee tasted like it was powder. Maybe I am just used to the real Vietnamese coffee and how it's made but it was disappointing. Magonada, ok this one was even more disappointing. I asked the girl at the counter which was better the magonada or Sandia loca (bc I love both mango and watermelon). She recommended the magonada, then I literally said to her "oh fresh mango bits okay yes I'll get that". I get my drink and it had NO mango. I figured they forgot so we brought it up to the counter and then she said "oh we are out of mango bits". Uh, that was the reason I got it. How can you not tell someone that after you heard what I said. So basically it was just mango slush. Lastly, we ordered the egg waffle. After about 30 min we asked for it, figured they also forgot. The guy told us it was being worked on and apologized because something went wrong with the machine when they made the first one so it didn't come out well. He brought out the "good" one and the one that didn't come out well (fyi I was crunchy and hard). He was very polite and apologetic but unfortunately even the good one came out a tad on the over cooked side too."

Sumo Snow

★★★★★ 4.5 (342) • $

"Sumo Snow @sumosnow Boba Tea & Desserts in Surprise is so good for a cold drink and sweet treat on a hot day like today!! I've been eyeing this cute dessert shop and finally made it in for my first ever Korean Corn Dog! I have no regrets- my Potato Beef Dog was amazinggggg! These dogs are savory and sweet with a crisp shell of delicious cornmeal batter studded with French fry chunks and sprinkled with sugar. The flavor of the beef dog is very good too. This was such a good treat. I also got an Oat Dragonfruit Matcha that was so creamy and sweet with the matcha earthy and smooth. My kids wanted the Chipotle Beef Dog with hot sauce, the Horchata Frappe, and the Flaming Dragon Slushee. I took my food to go but there is a picture window bar seating area and tables and chairs inside and outside the shop. There are also restrooms. I loved their collection of cute Japanese make-at-home dessert boxes and Pocky sticks available for purchase as well. I'm so happy we're nearby. There are several more teas I need to try here. Service was very good here."

Blendz Boba Tea Lounge

★★★☆☆ 3 (211) • $$

"This place has been around quite awhile and it still looks fresh and new. Usually too busy to visit or we forget they are there. Service was great. We picked up a couple brown sugar Boba drinks. Tasty. They offered a lot of fun drink options from a simple hot chocolate, tea and lemonade blends, create your own blendz, their signature drinks looked like so much fun!!! They had such a unique fun snack menu as well. Spicy Cheeto Elotes!?! Churro brownie ans cookie dough sundaes? Mmm"

Paris Banh Mi - Glendale

★★★★☆ 3.9 (33)

"Came here on a Wednesday at 1:30pm. Wasn't too busy. Nice decor and a menu with lots of options! Decided on their 'buy 5, get 1 free' deal. Went with the banh mi dac biet, grilled pork (2), pork patties, pate & pork, the pate & pork bbq, and an Assam black tea. Everything came out quickly and every banh mi was labeled and pre-cut. Felt banh mi prices were a bit high, but they were delicious so I'm okay with it now. Sandwiches were available as croissants or burgers as well! They also have ice cream, Korean hotdogs, bakery goods, pho, and appetizers! Too many options for one day. Will have to come back!"

Cha Yen Pho And Boba

★★★★☆ 4.3 (16)

"Came in at 1:30pm for some pho and boba. It was a little confusing if you sit down or order at counter. I found out for food you sit and order, for boba you order at the counter. It is a small, nice area. Music isn't too loud and creates a good ambiance. I actually found myself singing along to a few of the songs! The egg rolls were okay... Not the typical Vietnamese egg roll I'm used to getting at Pho places. Came with sweet chili sauce. We got Pho Tai and it was pretty good! The broth had a lot of flavor! I would come back for it for sure!One of the workers here was super kind and showed my son, who had chosen Pho for his birthday lunch, what dragon fruit smoothie looked like as he was deciding on what boba drinks to get. He got the dragon fruit slush with honey boba and I chose the strawberry slush with honey boba. Both were delicious and the boba was nice and fresh!I would recommend this location and I hope they keep up the quality of service and food! I hope it does as we needed a good boba and pho place close to us!"

JT Boba House

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (351) • $

"I've been here a handful of times. My daughter loves the coconut snow. It is refreshing and delicious. The staff is friendly and informative. The reason I only give three stars is because it is horrifically expensive. $10 for a 16 oz coconut snow with pineapple jelly is crazy. I don't know if that's the going rate for boba but it blows my mind that a drink can cost that much. My daughter asks for it all the time but we only go for a very special treat because of the cost."

Scooptopia

★★★★★ 4.7 (234) • $

"Came by on a Thursday evening and tried their taho (tofu pudding). Not too sweet and silky. It's served warm FYI! I've had warm and cold versions but in Vietnamese or Taiwanese styles. Nice that this one came with boba for some added texture. Great healthier version of dessert with some protein too!Service was quick and kind - no complaints!Small shop with a few tables. Same plaza as JL Patisserie."
