Three Stars: [Decent Selections; Suffering Quality] Summary: Although this boba shop has a good menu variety of drinks and snacks, the quality of the ingredients is noticeably poor.
I have gone to Bubble Queen many times over the course of a year or two since when they first opened on their own store front. From a “make your own” drink menu they evolved to a standard menu boasting a variety of milk teas, fruit teas, snacks, toppings, and more. The drink I frequent is their black sugar latte, or the matcha variety, along with some of their fruit teas and seasonals. Although their menu has a great variety, the quality is lackluster. Since they merged with the restaurant next door, I noticed a huge drop in the quality and taste of their drinks. A simple green milk tea, a drink I get from every boba shop in the city, has a great difference in taste and I can definitely tell it’s not of good quality. Additionally, I once had an order-to-go, go terribly wrong as all the drinks that contained milk was made with spoiled milk. I did not find out till I took the first sip of my drink and found it had a pungent sour yogurt like taste. +$20.00 out for only 1/3 of the drinks to be drinkable.

I just got off the Caltrain and needed some caffeine. This is a short walk away and surprisingly their storefront is closed. They merged with the store next door.We ordered the Lychee Oolong Tea, which is decent. However, it definitely tastes like artificial lychee. Reminds me of those nostalgic lychee jelly cups I grew up eating from the grocery store. The oolong flavor is subtle and not too strong. The drink was refreshing, but I wouldn't personally recommend it.

Their phone number is not even working. My son and husband went in rush ordering two boba tea and both was delivered without boba despite us paying extra for that. No phone to answer and no response to chat. Also very limited verity. Save your money and time for somewhere else!

I'm on the fence about this place. The food is really good, but it's expensive. I've only been once, but it was during happy hour, which is why I went. Pictured is the only thing I ordered and my bill was $60 with the 20% gratuity. You don't really have a server because the menu is digital (take your phone), and you'll order and pay thru their portal. The staff don't speak much and the items all came out at separate times. It was tasty but a very strange experience. I might give them another try, but I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone and ruin my review reputation.

Tea is tasty, but wait times can be long. The loyalty program doesn’t always work
Drink was good. I had the komquat lemon green tea with lychee jellie. If you like tart this is your drink. Not puckered tart.

Best taro milk tea I’ve ever had. I even bought another one after I finished my first one. 10/10 would recommend

I ordered Bubble Queen boba as part of my visit to The One, the restaurant next door by the same owner. The owner was very nice and encouraged me to try it; his idea was to offer boba at the restaurant when Bubble Queen was closed (or perhaps all the time, I can't 100% recall). I ordered the white peach cheezo. It was so good! Not too sweet and just the right amount of salt in the cheese. I haven't been here before but it's certainly made my radar now! The only downside is that it is one of their seasonal offerings so it looks like my new favourite won't be around for too long :(

The owner treated us to some free food! Also the green jasmine tea was amazing. Would def come here again

Owner is very nice and gave us free food because they needed to take pictures for the new menu. Very friendly staff!
