DC Boba

The Banh Mi Ga Cay Sandwich was AMAZING. I was a bit iffy about it... I DID take the liver patay out (I personally don't like liver patay). With that gone, it was so good. I'm also iffy about bread - I hate bread that feels like I'm biting into cement. This bread was really good and easy to chew on.The location is small - so thing about ordering to-go. The place is very cute inside. The service was great, can't complain.

This is a cute little bubble tea shop. There was parking off the street right outside when we picked up, conveniently as it's a side street off the main street. The door bell was so loud I had to cover my ears - be warned!We got a milk tea with tapioca pearls and salted cheese foam as well as a coffee with salted cheese foam. Both tasted decent. If I was in the area I might stop by again.

Quickly stopped by this shop for some boba - and I could not be more pleased! I got a peach tea with boba, and thought it was delicious (with the boba being perfectly sweet and chewy). The person working was extremely sweet and helpful. I also thought the ambiance was cute and clean (photos attached).Would absolutely return for some more boba!!

I loved the inside of the shop, very cute designs and fun stickers, but 8 dollars for boba that wasn't even mixed properly is crazy. I ended up having to throw my Dirty brown milk tea away because it wast mixed properly and I just tbh couldn't take it anymore. With every sip I took I was getting like 90% syrup. This is one of the only boba places in the Columbia heights so I'm actually really disappointed. Also $8 for this is a scam. Service was good though!I mean the bao buns looked pretty good. But tbh i wast about to spend another $5 on delusion.

It's ok when you need a boba fix. Not the best but the only boba spot nearby. It's pretty pricey for what it is. I would have given four stars, but they use those stupid tip machines and the minimum is 20 percent and they calculate it POST tax.

I was very much not a fan of the Tamarind tea drink. I stopped by this place because its really the only boba place in Columbia Heights along with my friends as we were on our way to dinner. The place itself is very small and cannot accommodate many people. I also thought the drinks were pretty expensive, but that's usually how it goes for most boba places nowadays, but I just didn't like my drink.It wasn't one of the most popular drinks though, so I might go back to try drinks that they are used to making and see if my opinion changes, but for now - 3 stars.

Enjoyed my first experience at DC Boba! Super close to my house, so I expect I'll be a frequent visitor. I tried the Dirty Brown Sugar milk tea with boba and it was very tasty! A good level of sweet without being too overwhelming. My friend got a green tea red bean smoothie and it was also quite tasty. The portion sizes are large and the definitely don't skimp on the boba. The pearls have a nice bite to them (can we say that boba is al dente??) and were quite pleasant.The interior of the space is very sparse -- this is clearly more of a take-and-go establishment versus somewhere you'd want to post up for a while. They have a very large menu -- smoothies, fruit teas, milk teas, Vietnamese coffee, hot tea, and a lot more. They also have a limited selection of snacks: when I was there, the choices were chicken or mungbean bao bun, or a pizza pastry type thing that reminded me of khachapuri. I also saw on their photo slideshow that they do a Dole Whip treat, so you can bet I'll be back to see how it compares to the Disney version!

Loving boba, my five-year-old daughter and I stopped in after shopping at nearby Target. After visiting most boba spots in the city, I left disappointed. Here's why:1) Quality: I ordered the classic boba and it was okay. The server didn't ask how sweet I wanted it despite the menu advertising that you can choose. The result was a too sweet boba that was tough to finish. My daughter didn't love her Oreo milkshake. They also only have one size so it was too much for my daughter.2) Price: It was $7+ for each drink and only comes in one size. 3) Space: It's small, dark, and not kept as clean as you'd expect.

My wife and I discovered this bubble tea shop earlier this year while walking around Columbia Heights and we both loved it and look forward to returning.

Lina was absolutely wonderful! So friendly and inviting. The Mermaid Latte was my absolute favorite! I took a Char siu Bao bun to go and it made me want to go back and get another! I can't wait to go back and try the banh mi! This place is such a hidden gem
