34 Best Bubble Tea in Philadelphia

“An amazing place. Great way to find unique gifts“

“I had the early gray milk tea with pearl boba and milk foam. It was amazing and they even put it in my reusable 16oz coffee cup!The place is so clean and the gentleman behind the counter was super helpful. I will for sure be back to try other flavors.“

“Very nice quiet atmosphere. Very peaceful and I loved seeing the daughter and Mom duo. It's was refreshing to see considering I brought my daughter along with me. The Boba my daughter ordered wasn't sweet to her liking, and she was going to add additional sugar, however the owner called my daughter over to fix the drink. It's the little things and this business has it! ❤️“

“PERFECT place if you need ypur Korean food fix!From the wonderful, friendly & kind owners to the tasty kimchi and to the variety of flavorful foods on the menu and assorment of drinks available - you will leave satisfied and more than full!⭐️An unassuming place that offers your favorite Korean foods made directly by the owner so you know it has to be good!!!This is our second time eating here, once ordering online and today we dined in for dinner - whether you order online or dine in you still receive the best service & food!I appreciate you being here in this area since the food scene is just par - you being here is adding to the variety it needs - Thank you!May success & happiness always be with you, your family & business!“

“Gong cha is solidly okay boba - nothing to write home about but their tapioca is a good texture of chewy but not to chewy. The teas are too sweet for me at regular sweetness, so I recommend getting 50% sugar (regular is 75%). The service at this location is and a drink will average $7-8 with tax. They share the space with a to-go sushi restaurant and have a few tables inside, so you can grab dinner and a drink and sit and eat.“

“We love it! Kids love the colors and variety of baked goods! Clean and friendly staff!“

“Such a fun twist on soft serve topping boba milk tea with it. Lots of options and fully customizable and very fun. Small location so not much room to sit inside and eat if the weather isn’t nice, but easy to take on the go. Highly recommend.“

“Had this for the first time at the Port Richmond Birthday Fest and it was absolutely delicious. Well worth it to stop in and get something“

“Took my kids ages 8, 9, 10 to the Glassboro location and they are IN LOVE! They have renamed the restaurant THE MAGICAL PLACE and are asking when they can come back. Food 5/5, Service 5/5, Atmosphere 5/5 See you again soon!“

“One of my go-to spots for boba. Drinks are consistently good. Great tea flavor with their milk teas. I wish I could remember her name but there's one worker that it usually the one working when I come. She's been super helpful answering my questions when I'm being indecisive about my order . Location is clean but pretty small with no seating. I like that they have their menu posted off to the side so I can contemplate my order without being in the way.“

“All ban mi sandwiches are amazing“

“Finally went in for the first time. Christine is so lovely, she let me sample the sauce before ordering. I chose the Passyunk Double Passion bowl since I like salmon, eel, and mango. It was really fresh, all the ingredients were good. You can also mix your own bowl and there's a good variety of toppings to go on sushi rice, brown rice, or salad. Will definitely come again, she's currently on break for Labor Day!“

“1. The food was delicious, especially the marinated egg.2. Have the option to customize the salty levels. I personally would recommend less (salty), as regular (salty) is too much for me.3. The portion sizes are a bit small and pricey compared to other ramen restaurants, but a nice option for a quick and easy ramen.4. The service was nice and fast, was never rushed.5. The atmosphere of the restaurant was relaxed and clean.“

“My experience at Mr. Wish was nothing short of excellent. The service was top-notch, and the drinks were absolutely refreshing. I stopped by for a quick drink and was greeted by two incredibly friendly staff members who were eager to assist me. They were knowledgeable about the menu and helped me find the perfect drink to suit my taste.Speaking of drinks, I tried their signature drink, and it was a delightful blend of flavors that left me feeling rejuvenated. The quality of ingredients was evident, and the presentation was impeccable. What truly stood out to me was the genuine care and attention to detail shown by the staff. They took the time to ensure that my order was just right and made me feel welcomed throughout my visit. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone craving a delicious and refreshing beverage served with a side of exceptional service. Five stars all around!“

“Penrose Cheesesteaks makes delicious food! They have everything you can think of. From Cheesesteaks, Burgers, Wings and Cajun seafood they have it! Plus, the service is quick and awesome and never had a bad order. I would recommend this place.“

“We stopped by for the donuts and Korean corn dogs and the food was amazing!! The donuts are so good we finished them and we might get more before we leave. Super soft and fresh! The place was really cute and very clean, they also had samples of a donut to try while we were deciding.“

“This boba tea spot was okay to me but I also accredit it to what I ordered. The actual store is very cute and modern and it seems that they are serious about their tea. It also seems very authentic in comparison to a lot of the chain spots you can go to. The line was out the door when I walked in so that's always a good sign. I don't feel like there is a lot of variety in the menu selection so for me that's a bit of a con. I also knocked a star off because they only use whole milk. I feel like in 2024 you should at least have 1 plant based option. I didn't get a milk tea so I think if I did I would have liked it more. I got the passion fruit drink and it was good not much substance I feel like for $7 more like a fruit tea you could probably just get at a fast food restaurant. All and all I would try it again if I was in the area.“

“Let me preface by saying that when I rate bubble tea places, I usually compare them in relation to Kung Fu Tea because Kung Fu Tea's bubble tea isn't the best but it isn't the worst. It's not my go to spot but it's always a safe option when that boba craving hits. And they have a good variety when it comes to milky and fruitier options. For additional context, I usually prefer fruit teas and adjust the sugar level (typically one level below 100% sweetness). After trying a few of their drinks, I would rank Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea as being better than Kung Fu Tea. As someone who doesn't usually drink milk teas, I like that Yi Fang offers more tea based options. Also, because Taiwan is known for their tea, I like that that aspect is highlighted more in Yi Fang's drinks. There is ample seating inside with a cozy, chill vibe so it's a good place to hang out with friends. Drink Ordered: * worth trying - [Lemon Mountain Tea with Green Tea Jelly and 70% Sugar*]: I like citrus drinks that are more tart so I think 70% is a good sugar level before it gets too tart. The tea flavor comes through and the green tea jelly is a good compliment to the drink. The green tea jelly is similar to aiyu jelly in texture but with a green tea flavor. - [Mango Sago with 50% Sugar]: This drink is a slushy consistency. This drink probably tastes the best when mangoes are in season because with the 50% sugar level, you could tell that the mangoes weren't sweet. Between this and the Mango Pomelo Sago, I would choose the Mango Pomelo Sago because the drink has more depth with the addition of the pomelo. - [Mango Pomelo Sago*]: This drink is a slushy consistency. Similar to the Special Mango Juice Smoothie-o at Mango Mango. The drink at Mango Mango costs less so I'd recommend ordering a different drink at Yi Fang but this is a good drink nonetheless. Pomelo is like a sweet grapefruit and adds a nice citrus flavor and texture to the drink. Would I go back? : Yes. Yi Fang is a bit out of the way for me but, whenever I'm in the area, I usually try to go. Because I've only been here three times, I can't give as comprehensive of a review compared to my other bubble tea shop reviews so my thoughts on Yi Fang may change as I try more of their drinks but I like what I've tried so far.“

“We love their custard waffles. Their staff is wonderful and they have a great variety of juice drinks along with their teas.“

“Great hangout place where they know you (& your drink;-) by name!“

“We ❤️ Gong cha philly The best place to visit Can’t wait to come back“

“Their green bubble tea was really nice that uses authentic green tea that was brewed the same day. You can decide how much sugar and ice you want for your bubble tea. Just one thing, if you’re sensitive to caffeine, you might have trouble falling asleep at night. Mornings are fine, dinner or nighttime, would be best to get their fruit bubble tea.“

“You can tell it is more a grab and go type of place for the college folks but our dine-in experience was great nonetheless! Staff was so kind, attentive, and food came quickly. Sushi was amazing and amazing, I enjoyed my miso soup, and my husband and I shared some edamame.Definitely would recommend for anyone looking for some sushi in the neighborhood! Mango Tango and Holiday rolls were my favorites!“

“I always get the same thing when I come, a Thai milk tea with Vietnamese coffee ice cream. The servers are always sweet and so are the treats. You can stay a while in their seating area or take it to go. I also like that every treat is masterfully created and always looks exactly like the picture. #pictureperfect ?“

“Great hangout place where they know you (& your drink;-) by name!“

“Great Service, Delicious Food, and Authentic Drinks !!!!!!“

“Very cozy boba shop. The tea tasted quite nice.In addition, the Jenga on the tables was a nice touch. The service was pretty fast considering the high volume of orders.This shop is exactly what a good boba shop should be, with the wide drink selection, the cozy atmosphere, the many tables to sit at for a date, and even games on some tables. The sweetness and ice levels can be adjusted for the drinks so customization is quite nice. Drinks were also not too expensive, at least in terms of boba prices. 10/10“

“I love this place so much,compared to other places in south philly, omg ! the desert in here a thousand times better than one in south philly.........“

“If you’re ever in the center city area and craving bubble tea, this is the place you should check out.They offer excellent customer service, a peaceful atmosphere, and it’s a perfect spot for studying. I ordered the taro milk tea and absolutely loved it!What’s even better, they offer a fantastic back-to-school happy hour deal from Monday to Thursday, 1-4 pm, with a buy-one-get-one-free offer on select drinks listed on their flyer!“

“people were friendly. helped in decision of what to try. clean“

“Simply the best bubble tea in the neighborhood!The Hong Kong (Silk Stocking) Milk Tea, Strawberry Latte, and Rose Milk Tea are must-tries. Unforgettable and fresh. The Hong Kong milk tea is addictively strong with a really pleasant aftertaste - apparently theirs is a cold brew done the traditional “silk stocking” way. I’m not even a fan of strawberry milk but the Strawberry Latte I’ve gotten multiple times. They don’t just blend strawberry and milk, they create their own strawberry jam in house with citrus, creating a delicious treat! The Rose Milk Tea is a perfect springtime snack ? elegant, sweet, and luscious.If you’re a tea aficionado or even just someone craving a nice snack, please consider Woosa. The quality of the brew is excellent and it’s awesome to be supporting a local Asian female owned business to boot. Other drinks I like include the dalgona, taro, and peach milk tea.The second best part I like about Woosa is the lovely space they’ve created for folks to just chill out in. Very spacious and refreshing, there are a couple of beautifully painted full wall murals of whales and dolphins and little blue velvet chairs, and ample seating to offer privacy for studying, hanging out with friends, dates, or simply just resting in the middle of a busy day…So glad I found Woosa! Don’t miss it if you’re in the neighborhood!“

“The bubble tea is excellent , the smoothie also made out of fresh ingredients, our favorite was mango flavor, their chicken wings are also to die for. we had both flavor , we even order more to go.“

“This place was so cute! My sister is a foodie and will only eat donuts from Federal Donuts. I was happy she took us there because it was very yummy. She even got a donut for the next day and it was still good the next day. The service was great. I could have been in a rush and didn't notice or see, but I wish there was more coffee options to enjoy. I can't wait to visit with my husband.“
