The drinks are a bit too sweet. I miss the chalkboard and food from the previous chain that was here.

I love Bambu! They have a variety of drinks - smoothies, coffee, milk tea, fruit tea, etc. They also serve Che - the Vietnamese jelly desserts. Everything I've tried has been tasty. They are also currently doing a toy drive where you get 30% off for bringing an unwrapped toy. Nice!

One of my fav dessert places. They have dessert, boba drinks (tea, coffee and smoothies). A little something for everyone! My favorite is the #10 dessert. I love, love, love the green pandan jelly. It's chewy and always consistent. I also enjoy the red tapioca. It adds a fun little crunch to the dessert. Did you know you could also ask for ice on the side instead of inside the drink? Sometimes I'll ask for ice on the side if I'm not going to eat my dessert immediately. Staff is always friendly and accommodating! Definitely will be back. Parking can be a bit hit or miss. During the busy times, the front parking might be filled so you'd have to park in the back and walk over. It's not terrible but it can be a busy area. It's also by a gas station.

Tired of all the Boba places? Try BamBu! This place is located in the same plaza as the Chevron and a few other stores.Elk Grove has so many Boba type places. I remember trying the Bambu in Stockton Blvd way back in the day, so I'm glad that they opened up one close by. They have so many choices of drinks. It was so much that I actually forgot to take a picture of it. I'll be sure to take one of it next time I stop by haha. The lady working the front counter was very friendly and was able to give me some recommendations on drinks. Since it's been so long since I've had these types of drinks, I asked which one she would recommend. She recommended #10 Bambu Favorite. Well, after drinking it, I know why it would be their favorite haha. It was very good! Everything in it complemented well with each other. The texture was just right for the drink. It did fill me up, so it was like a little meal haha. There are a few tables inside, so it would be a good place to hang out with friends while drinking some awesome drinks.If you're tired of Boba, go check out Bambu. It's a nice drink change, and it's really good. I can't wait to go back.

The line itself, waiting to order, took quite some time. But after ordering, the delivery time wasn't too bad. I feel like the location inside itself needed some color or decor to match all of their colorful drinks. There were a few sitting tables inside and in front of the store. We ordered the lychee smoothie and the awesome trio (Vietnamese che ba mau). We received 20% off which rounded up to be a little under $12 for both drinks. I thought the drinks were tasted ok. The trio could have been sweeter. I also think it has way too many of the beans.

SO YUMMY! You can never go wrong with Bambu. Honestly, I wish there were more places that specializes in Che (Vietnamese dessert drinks). Luckily, the quality is consistent and always good! It's also not too sweet (which I prefer - I always get 75% sweet when ordering tea and boba). I got the #10 because I swear, red tapioca hits different. It gives extra crunch to the dessert and so fun to eat. Besides the food, the service was great. The girls working in front were insightful and very nice! Told me what was the most popular drink and I was not disappointed. As for the ambiance, it's your typical small viet shop - there's not much to it but I just got my drink to-go (I don't know if people typically stay in there). 10/10 would go again!

5/5!!**this review is solely based on a phone call & delivery**I called & ordered Bambu the night before a party I was hosting and the person I spoke to on the phone was able to make the whole transaction a easy & smooth one. I'm sorry I forgot the name of the person, but thank you for all your assistance!! He was able to deliver with a small fee. Bambu was a hit for our guest! Thank you guys again for making the party a memorable one!
Service here needs a lot of work. The worker finished taking the person ahead of me order and disappeared. Then she came back after a few minutes and just stared at us and didn't say anything. She could've let us know she was ready to take our order instead of just staring at us until we're uncomfortable. We ordered 2 desserts and I noticed this location is more expensive and they tax. The south sac one doesn't do that based on the last time I went. The desserts are decent. My main issue is they aren't cold enough. They put a ball of crushed ice on top but even when it's mixed in with the drink it's not cold enough. So it makes me wonder if their other ingredients are even refrigerated.. The restaurant itself has ample seating and big tables, but it is usually pretty empty whenever I go.
