50 Best Bubble Tea in Portland

“Love it. I get the V1 or pho at least a couple times a month. Tempura ? shrimp perfectly fried. Light, crispy, not greasy. This family-run restaurant is the best place to dine East of 82nd on Sandy. Clean, pretty, beautifully decorated. Order online food ready within 15 minutes. Great service and welcoming, unlike many other Vietnamese restaurants around town.“

“As a Mexican-American taco enthusiast, stumbling upon El Yucateco Food Cart was a revelation. Initially drawn by my love for tacos, I was skeptical when my Midwestern friend recommended I try their panuchos. However, one bite was all it took to convert me into a devoted panucho aficionado.My first foray into panuchos left me with a pang of regret for not ordering more. Since that fateful day, I've become a regular patron, making the pilgrimage to El Yucateco whenever my cravings strike. The staff, with their warm smiles and genuine hospitality, only add to the experience.I must commend the staff's attentiveness, as they not only cater to my cravings but also ensure my friends are well taken care of. I couldn't help but chuckle when they graciously offered chips to my friend as she attempted to salvage the remnants of her vegetarian panuchos with her fingers. I can’t blame her though, that avocado salsa is like liquid heaven!“

“My wife and I have been to this place twice since we found it about a month ago. We’ve been to Thailand, and haven’t found real Thai food like this in the United States until we ate here. We highly recommend any of the dishes with ground beef or ground pork.“

“Cozy and quiet boba tea spot. I've been craving a good Jasmine tea and this place delivered better than I could've ever hoped. The boba is fresh and sweet and my tea is perfect (at 75% sweet). Service was quick and pleasant. I'm not Portland local, but I will definitely find my way back here if I'm ever in town again.Parking: There's parking along the street in front of the shop or around the corner.“

“Great place to get boba! Lady the owner was very friendly and made sure my boba tasted just like I wanted. Charming little cottage with beautiful decor. Plenty of parking of the street behind the cottage the only thing is missing seating area outside“

“Really love the vibe and novelty of this place! The latte flight is so cute to try out different flavors. The fig crepe is an interesting try; I wish the walnuts were smaller ?. My boyfriend enjoyed the bowl of breakfast potatoes with kimchi.“

“This restaurant serves popcorn chicken that is delicious, however I didn't realize the butter chicken would be sweet like caramel corn, and the lemon chicken could use a little more lemon taste. The rice is flavorless, and the salad is radishes in a vinegar dressing. It's very tiny with a couple of tables for 2, and the rest is counter seating. We had no idea it was so casual but we did enjoy our food.“

“My daughter and I tried their corn dogs, she got the original and I got the crispy, I have to say I really enjoyed it. Good beef sausage and mozzarella cheese stacked inside of a hand dipped planko honey batter. Yumm. My daughter said she wasn’t hungry but she sure ate the entire thing. Try it for yourself and you be the judge.“

“It's a nice spot for coffee drinks and snacks. Close to PSU. Free Wi-Fi. There seems to be inconsistent customer service. Some attendants are very friendly and provide all the information, while others are cordial and don't share anything.Still, it's a cozy spot on a rainy day where you can gather with friends, do work, read a book, or what have you.“

“The food is always hot, ready, and amazing. I have pretty much only gotten the steak and rice bowl, but it's so good i have to come back and get it every time. wonderful service, and the two who own the business are wonderful to talk to as well!“

“My recent visit to the Portland Food Hall for a quick dinner amidst my busy conference schedule was a delightful experience. This gem of a spot boasts a diverse array of culinary options catering to various tastes, which truly impressed me. Despite my visit coinciding with the peak dinner rush, the vibrant atmosphere was matched by the efficient service that seemed to flow seamlessly throughout the venue.The standout for me was the ramen – each spoonful was a revelation, with a rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles that provided a comforting and satisfying meal. It was an absolutely delicious and hearty dish that served as a highlight of my dining experience. The Portland Food Hall is a must-visit for anyone looking for a quality dining experience with the convenience of multiple cuisines under one roof. Whether you're pressed for time or looking to savor a leisurely meal, this place caters to all with its exceptional offerings.“

“This is an unassuming place due to its name and decor, but let me assure you it is quite the hidden gem! At first glance it looks like just another Froyo place, and they also serve Churros as per their biggest advertisements.... But don't let this fool you. This is a Vietnamese establishment, making conventional desserts with Vietnamese flair as well as traditional Vietnamese desserts. It's difficult to find Ube or Pandan in the area, but this place has a few desserts for both. Do not sleep on their Che, it is phenomenally tasty! The service is very friendly, and they are happy to serve and delight you. Seating is plentiful and cute, especially by the fish tank. If you're into tropical desserts, definitely give this place a try! But if you're into their Froyo, definitely still go! You can't go wrong !“

“I went today and I was greeted by a tablet (you order yourself)I first ordered a matcha drink and a mango pomelo the mango pomelo was very very tasty and fresh but the matcha was so overpowering it tasted fishy I had to return it. They use real ingredients and maybe I’m not used to that because I have never tasted matcha like that in the past in other places. The lady was very sweet and made me a taro drink. It was very delicious and also tasted much different than other places I’ve visited, but that’s okay! I love that they use ReaI ingredients and I appreciate the sweet lady making me a new one because I don’t like returning items but now I know I don’t like real matcha lol.“

“I used to lived in Portland and moved to Salem 3 years ago . I tried so many restaurants but this one is the best . BEP restaurant gave me a great time and the best foods . I never seen my wife eat in a restaurant with a happy face like that . We ordered 2 noodles and one papaya salad . The soups are so good , very delicious . The salads so fresh and tasty , not too salty like other places.If you are coffee lovers , you must try the salted coffee here . Me and my wife tried and we love it .We will come back again soon to try others foods here .“

“the service was excellent I ordered the Royal fruit tea ( tropical) the flavor amazing it had fresh fruit in it. My granddaughters got the strawberry milk tea with mango bubbles in it. I will definitely be going back soon . Go check them out .“

“What an amazing surprise this was. I'd never had a Poke bowl before. It's basically like an asian sushi-themed salad bowl. I got it with the green onion tofu and built it up with salad greens and rice and seaweed, and omg this is by far the best salad I've had in a while. Also their staff is very friendly, the mom who owns the place is super nice, and yeah. My coworker says their mango smoothie thing is really good, and I haven't tried it yet but that's definitely my next thing to try. But yeah I highly, highly recommend this place. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but this was a 15/10. To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. Highly recommended!“

“Went to Boba Tea Crew Stan at the mall and it was quite nice. I got the strawberry banana smoothie. The guy working at the shop was quite nice and friendly and fast at making my drink. The price was ($5.50). Would recommend this location to get something to drink.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian optionsParking: Not really a lot of places to park.Kid-friendliness: Angry place to stop by and get to the to drink for your kids.Wheelchair accessibility: It's an open space area, so it is wheelchair accessible.“

“I've come here several times for their Vietnamese coffee, and they've been great everytime. This time, I got the Caphe Trung, which is their iced coffee with egg yolk cream. If you've never tried it before, it might sound strange, but the combo works well and is quite tasty. I thought the prices were fair for the size of the drink, after all Vietnamese coffee should be sipped on. Overall, I think the coffee here is very good and I was happy with my drink each time.“

“I’m a complete boba snob so after moving here to Portland I was really disappointed with the boba options as a lot of them aren’t legit boba or there’s just too much fusion going on. But this. Milk tea from this place is exactly what boba should be! This is the best boba place here and part of me is a bit happy that it’s kinda a ways away from where I live and work because if it wasn’t I’d probably come here every day. Absolutely delicious.I got the winter melon milk tea with black boba, coconut jelly and cheese foam.Can you imagine this is the only boba place in the city I’ve found that actually offers wintermelon and hokkaido as flavors? The travesty that other places that call themselves boba cafes don’t have it! I’m so happy Ding Tea does. ?❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?“

“I was in search of a drink so I stopped by this underground tea spot and ordered a green rooibos tea latte with almond milk and honey. The latte tasted amazing! You could really taste the green rooibos coming through the steamed milk. The service was quick and friendly! I will be back.“

“Simply delicious. Me & my daughter became the fan of this place in this very first visit. Wish they have locations closer to our house but seems like a good reason to visit Washington square often. We got taro smooth tea with pearl boba,chai smooth tea with Pearl boba & dragon smooth tea with mango jelly.“

“A smol mom and pop Chinese bakery with plenty of free parking in the back (entrance is via an alleyway on the right side of the building) I tried the Red Bean Puffs, BBQ Pork Bun, and Custard Bun. The buns were light, fluffy, and absolutely delicious. The Pork Bun was a perfect blend of subtly sweet bread and savory pork and the custard bun was sweet but not overly. My favorite was the red bean puff because they were generous with the red bean filling and the outside was like a soft, crumbly cookie. Neither the filling nor the outside was very sweet at all which was a pleasant surprise. Will definitely be going back to try their egg tarts (they were sold out when I went on a Sunday afternoon) and their wide assortment of pastries and cakes.“

“This is my first time and buddu:s Happy Hour 3-6:00PM bar and lounge on April 8th 2023. I have experience d the best customer service that I can ever imagine. Buddy's has some great ciders and they also have a great chicken nachos. I want to give a high shot out and a 5-star rating to AJ my server and I just want to just put that out there. So if you ever want to come out for a good time, buddy's on 82nd is the place. peace out. Chazz“

“Love this place! The sushi offers pretty generous portions of fish. So far, its the best sushi we've found in the area. All the options are delicious and taste fresh. The salmon melts in your mouth. Our favorite is the TNT roll; it comes piled real high with crab and tuna.Decided to write this review when I ordered from the Powell location online and was called within a few minutes of placing my order by the other location. They apologized and said that the Powell location was doing a catered event and wasn't able to do any takeout that night, but they would make my order and deliver it to my door for free. They worked as fast as they could and got it to my front door at the same time it was originally supposed to be ready, even though the delivery person had to drive all the way across the city. Their customer service was absolutely great! Also, the sushi was soooo good!Just really appreciate these guys. Definitely our go-to sushi spot in town.Also, if you haven't been in the market that this store is located within, it's worth a look. They have everything there, and you'll for sure end up walking out with something!“

“Tea bar is great for a cute little date in the city but not somewhere I want to seek and be a regular at. The tea is not quite as strong as I would like it to be. The service is usually pretty good. One time I went to the division location (before it shut down) close to closing and was given a matcha that was grainy and unmixed. I wish I was wowed by TeaBar but really there is better matcha in town that is a bit more price friendly. The boba is really well done though. Always great.“

“Small lil tea shop that is so cute. Super kind and helpful service with amazing milk teas. The boba is excellent too. They were closed for like a week during the ice storm so come support if you can. Very tasty brown sugar and Thai milk teas!“

“Great place, Love the crepes! They redid the game room, and it looks fantastic and is so much fun!Vegetarian options: It's Fruit and ice creamParking: They took out a lot of spots on the streetKid-friendliness: Lots of games to play in the game room“

“Sunita is no longer the owner, having sold the restaurant recently. The menu is the same, and the new owner said they are mostly using Sunita’s recipes. I’m giving this a hopeful 5 stars, after a good meal where we really noticed no change or decrease in quality. I’ll be so happy if they manage to recreate Sunita’s food, even without her magic touch!“

“I ordered a salmon rice ball (forgot to take photo) and a strawberry matcha latte with boba ? the salmon rice ball was super good and I immediately wished I had ordered two. The matcha is wonderful as well! Ordered it half sweet and it was perfect to me, I would imagine full sweetness would be more like a dessert to me. You can tell the tea they use it's high quality. The staff are also very friendly and knowledgeable about the product“

“Amazing service boba depending on how many people in ordering and people working can take from 2-5 minutes. The boba pearls are amazing best boba of all time. It gives you the feel of a cute cafe shop and just so cute and cozy they even have boba plushies highly recommend.“

“The location is not very good. There are too many homeless people, really.Ordered the pickled bullfrog.Eggplant with preserved pepper and eggplant: not very authentic, mashed and served on a ceramic plate.Dry pot fat intestine: The fat intestine is crispy.The three dishes tasted pretty good, but they were uncomfortable to eat. I also love spicy food, but I don’t know why I feel uncomfortable eating the spicy dishes here, and my stomach and intestines are also uncomfortable. After eating a little, I don’t want to eat anymore.“

“This is my new favorite place! Their bubble tea is amazing. Best I've ever had! Whatever tea you get order it with the popping bobas. They literally burst in your mouth with flavor. What are you doing reading this? You should be drinking bubble tea from Bubble Crunch!“

“fresh avocado smoothie with crystal boba avocado smoothie with durian sugarcane juice with kumquat x 2 thirst quench and fulfills pregnancy craving adjust your sweetness and ice level, no ice is $3 or so regular ice and get it on the side if you want to adjust. fast service and small place, not much for seating, more of just grab and go.“

“Braganza Tea at Lloyd Center is one of my favorite boba places in the Portland Metro area! Awesome place for simple teas and fun smoothies; can't beat their prices at most quality boba places. My favorite sweet treat is the Straw-Taro Smoothie with boba. It tastes almost like a fruity vanilla milkshake! My favorite for a simple boba fix is the Black Milk Tea with soy, zero sweetness, and regular boba. I love that one topping is included with no extra charge and that they have a couple of dairy alternatives for the milk teas. Their fruit teas are also awesome in the summer! Will definitely keep returning for boba tea as long as the quality and prices stay great.Picture: Black Milk Tea with Soy and Boba (left), Straw-Mango-Coconut Smoothie (right).Dietary restrictions: Some dairy alternatives.Parking: Lloyd Center parking.“

“This place is an ABSOLUTE TREASURE!! The banh mi is some of the tastiest I’ve ever had at the best price I’ve ever seen. Phuoc, the nun who runs the cart, speaks very little english but is the sweetest person in the world. She takes her time making each dish one by one and while you’re waiting you can sit or walk around the beautiful temple that the cart is connected to. Whether you’re vegan or not, I highly recommend making this spot a regular visit!!“

“Classic boba and small bites place, surprisingly rare to find out here. (: Family & Asian owned it seems. I like their golden milk boba for a non-caffeinated drink. No popcorn chicken (lol) but everything I've had here (pork belly rice bowl, roti, sticky mango rice, chicken wings) has been good!“

“Seated immediately. Gentleman was very polite and helped us to understand some of the dishes. Definitely knew his stuff. He was attentive without crowding us. Booth was comfortable, but there are tables too if you prefer. Reasonable amount of seating. Food was well presented and very tasty. We left full and satisfied after we finished everything. Most of the time we leave a restaurant with leftovers, but here we couldn't stop till it was gone because it was so tasty. The menu has pictures to help identify what is what, and offers something for everyone. They also do to go orders. We wanted to go someplace different than the traditional Shari's or IHOP - and this fit the bill. We live in Sherwood, but it was worth the drive. Clean and well decorated too. Great experience! Thanks!Vegetarian options: They had different options, including dishes with tofu. You would have several options.Parking: Parking lot for the strip mall this place is in has lots of space.Kid-friendliness: Had some children's size items in the menu, or you could share a larger bowl item with your child, and add appetizers to supplement if needed. Or, you can order a full size for the kids and take your leftovers to enjoy at home.“

“I had a delightful experience at Bobacat. The ambiance was enjoyable, and the customer service was excellent. The dark cocoa and mango milk tea were delicious, showcasing a good variety of options. Overall, a great spot for quality drinks and a pleasant atmosphere.4 stars because I feel like the space could use a deep clean. Especially on the floors and walls!“

“Coolest Coffee Shop!! In Portland for work and having a rough day, when I got back to my hotel I found that they had not restocked the coffee in my room which ended up being a blessing because I found this hidden gem just a short walk away and fell in love with ths place! The moment I walked in all of my frustrations from the day melted away, the vibe is so wonderful I immediatly felt better! The young lady at the counter must have seen me struggling with the tablet at the kiosk and offered to take my order, the staff has such a pleasant attitiude I wanted to sit and enjoy the afternoon for a while but had work to do so had to take my leave but I am already looking forward to coming back on my next tri to town in just a few weeks, I will be stopping here first and probably a few times during my trip! Oh yeah, the coffee is outstanding, vey smooth and my mocha was incredibly tasty as well! A must visit for all Portland coffee fans for sure!“

“I genuinely love this place but I don't know what it is but the quality has sincerely went down since they first opened. I was obsessed in the beginning but now every time I go the tea tastes like it's made with tap water and the boba is always over cooked. The employees are so nice so I definitely hope this is just genuine feedback. I'd love to continue to go here especially as we head into spring time soon.“

“I got the matcha with fresh milk, and it was honestly the best matcha I've had. I also go the basil popcorn chicken. It was freshly made and tastes so good! The workers were very friendly, and I got my order very quickly. Definitely recommend!“

“The kids who work there are a hoot. The atmosphere and decor is obviously invested in and they have a lot of dietary-friendly options too. They change the decorations every season and make a mean aloe juice.Vegetarian options: If you let the barista know they'll help guide ya around milk. No meat in the teas. Lol.“

“This place is slamming! The food and service are excellent. Having had the opportunity to eat these delicious foods from NYC, FL and other major cities in the US this place is on the top 10 of my list. I'm only here for a week and already need a 2nd round of Delish sushi. Thanks for being the best ?“

“So lucky to have Cup and Cone here! Their ice cream is amazing. Today I had lemon lavender, recommended by the very helpful and friendly person serving. Wonderfully balanced, not at ALL soapy tasting with the lavender perfectly subtle and the lemon flavor fresh.Creamy, smooth finish to their ice creams, I recommend ordering it served in a delicious fresh crispy waffle cone. Everything is homemade with real ingredients and it TASTES like that. They do wonderful unusual flavors that rotate, like ube and cherry blossom, and their regular flavors for the unadventurous are reliably delicious. Don't miss this place!“

“It was nice! I ordered hot chocolate for me and my friend and I loved it. I wanted to get other chocolate pieces, but it was too pricy for me. Still, the worker was friendly and very nice. The place was very conveniently close to our hotel. The hot chocolate really hit the spot while we were working.“

“This is a great little tea shop. Relaxing atmosphere and comfortable furniture. The music was a notch too loud but I liked what was playing. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They had gluten free options which I appreciate. The Assam tea latte was “

“My friends and I have gone here at least once a week for the past few weeks. super cute shop that's perfect to study in. Servers are very nice. Comfortable seating and tasty drinks-- the ube tea is the best one like it in Portland. I love the monster energy bomb. It's always a surprise what new decorations they'll have around the shop-- there's been a Mario, Harry Potter, and now a more kawaii theme going on. Whatever the theme, the vibes are always perfect. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely fire food. I got the basil fried rice, pad Thai, crab rangoon, and Thai coffee. The staff were super kind and helpful, I got great service. I honestly haven’t had pad thai, crab Rangoon, or fried rice this good in years. I don’t live in the area and options for any type of Asian food are limited at home, so I often try new places when travelling. This place is getting saved in my bookmarks so I remember where it is next time I’m in town.“

“Got a chance to check this out on Sunday, it's a pretty cool place! The parking wasn't bad, i was able to find parking on the street, and it appears there is parking the back as well. We came in around 11, and there were a few people in line, but it wasn't overly busy. The person working behind the counter was friendly and was working hard. They have a ton of options, I was boring and just went with black tea, but it looked like they also had Vietnamese Coffee, which i didn't see on the menu? There are some good places to sit inside, they have a claw machine, some games and some cool trinkets and such. The friends I was with all loved their Boba as well!“

“I was in the area looking for a nice boba place and stumbled upon this small shop. I was reading the reviews and was kinda hesitant but I took a chance anyways. I ordered the strawberry marble and to my surprise, it was actually pretty good. I was kinda worried that it would taste too artificial but it wasn't. We also ordered the matcha tornado but I thought that drink was way too sweet for my taste. Overall, I would say to give it a try and who knows, maybe it'll be your next favorite boba spot“
