“quick and friendly service. great options for tea , coffee, and other drinks, plus various things to eat. I got a beef bahm mi.“

“Everything was AMAZING 😭😭🥺 Everything was fresh and packaged so well❤️ we spend over 30 on everything we could order on doordash and it was WELL worth the money!!! We be back tomorrow!!“

“Came here to get a Dubai chocolate strawberry cup, was very good! Waited about 10 mins to get them (I ordered 3). Very tasty, lots of strawberries and a good amount of chocolate. The strawberries at the bottom of the cup didn't really have much chocolate. At about $14 (including tax), the cups are definitely on the pricey side but good once in a while as a treat!“

“Love this spot!! The atmosphere was relaxed and cozy, and there were a ton of tea options on the menu, as well as some snacks like the avocado toast, cookies, and muffins. We ended up hanging out for a while - love that they have boardgames, etc! We'll definitely be back!“

“Glad to see a new famous milk tea brand open in Columbus. I got the lychee milk tea which tasted refreshing with perfect sweetness and salty milk foam on the top. The store was clean and service was excellent. There were few seats and WiFi was fast.
After several visits, their quality and taste are excellent. Some leftover meals can be ordered through apps. Some board games and toys machines are available. There are some perks after joining their membership.“

“Boba paradise! Supper yummy menu all freshly prepared with real fruit by a super cute husband wife duo that makes the experience authentic!
Our personal favorites are coconut milk bubble tea, mango smoothie with boba, and mango or strawberry over shaved ice with boba! We usually ask for 30% sugar to make it even healthier. You can get your boba fix six days a week (closed Mondays to give the owners one day off!).“

“My favorite bubble tea places!“

“The pumpkin spice is the best“

“I go here 1-2 times a week to get bubble tea. The lady is so nice and makes suggestions for flavors to try. She even got me hooked on the milk teas, which I wasn't sure if I would like, but now I'm glad she made the suggestion. Right now my favorite is the Taro milk tea with Lychee jellies and the summer orange fruit tea with bobas is awesome. Every time I go there, I find a new favorite. ?“

“Edited: I recently went back and ordered the same matcha latte with light ice. There was definitely less ice this time, but the matcha flavor still wasn’t strong enough. I ended up trying their matcha matcha as well, it had a stronger matcha taste, but was surprisingly too sweet even at 25% sugar. They are definitely one of the better spots for high quality matcha, but sadly don’t use enough for regular matcha latte. Would come back to try out more drinks.

I came here to try their ceremonial matcha. Unfortunately, it’s pre-made in batches instead of prepared fresh to order. You can tell they are using ceremonial grade matcha cuz it has a slight umami flavor and is pretty smooth. But they don’t use enough of it, so the drink tastes more like milk than matcha. I also asked for light ice, but the cup was still about two thirds full of ice, which was disappointing. On the good side, the service was great, the staff were very friendly and welcoming.“

“I was so happy to find that there's Bambu in Columbus! I love Bambu, always get their che. I got #2 which has red bean, mung bean, boba, taro paste, pandan jelly, ice with coconut water, opted out of the rainbow jelly, no sugar. I always mix it together to eat, and it's super delicious. Quite pricey these days though at $7 per cup. Really clean and nice spot inside.“

“When I first visited Cuppa Cha, I thought I knew what boba tea was. Turns out, I was wrong. Too many shops around Central Ohio cut corners with powders and shelf-stable shortcuts—but this place is the real deal. Every sip screams authenticity, crafted with care and top-quality ingredients.

Now, I find myself hooked—especially on their roasted oolong milk tea with extra boba. It’s rich, balanced, and unlike anything I’ve had before. Cuppa Cha doesn’t just serve tea; it elevates it.

If you think you’ve tried boba, come here and prepare to be proven wrong—in the best way possible.“

“This was my daughter's idea. She really likes a lot of health conscience food. For me, if im eating out, I want it tasty. Well this place hit both of those marks with flying colors. The food was delish and for as tasty as it was I really expected it to be a whole lot more per meal. We spent $34. + tip and both of us got a bowl with 1 protein and shared some potstickers. I will definitely be back.“

“Lovely shop! Delicious food, 10/10 recommend!“

“This is my first time trying mochi donuts so I can’t compare flavors to other places, but man are these satisfying to chew. This place had many good-looking flavors, all of which you can see in a display case hanging on the wall. You order on a pad, so you get zero interaction with the employees. The inside had a fun Japanese atmosphere and some fun seating options against the wall. The orders came out fairly quickly, but you could tell everything was made fresh because everything was warm and soft. They also have other things on the menu, like amazing fruit green teas. I believe they also have boba, but in these teas, they had chopped fruit in the bottom, which was delicious and refreshing. Their milk tea was very good too. The worst part about this place, which has nothing to do with the place, is the atrocious parking situation. There are so limited spots that people park on the side of the building with their hazards on. I was luckily able to find one behind the building near the dumpster. I definitely recommend trying this place.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian donuts.

Parking: VERY little amount of parking spots. A few in the back of building.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible.“

“Candy Cloud is a coffee shop right outside of the OSU campus. It is in a shopping center next to Nothing Bundt Cakes. There are handi-accessible parking spots right next to the building and a ramp that goes up to the sidewalk. There is not an automatic door to get in the store. The level of business changes the atmosphere. It is either very busy with a long line and no where to sit or there is maybe one other person there. I think this depends on the time of day or day of the week. When it is busy it is a pretty noisy environment. On the days when it's not, it is almost silent. The lights are pretty bright and fluorescent. The line is a wide space separated by a short wall that goes from the door to the counter. The menu is very colorful to go along with the branding. There is a large lit up menu on the side wall, and you can order on an Ipad that also has the full menu on it. When ordering on the ipad there are images of all the drinks and they are customizable. It is very user friendly and could be used by a variety of people with disabilities. You can also order at a register. Most of the time it is a little harder to get someone up there because the staff depend on the ipads, so if you're only able to order by speaking I would keep that in mind. Besides that, the staff is so kind and if you can get their attention they are really helpful! They call out your name when your food and/or drink is ready and you go back up to the front counter to get it. This place has my favorite coffee around Columbus. I think they are decently priced and have a really good rewards system. They come in cute cups that have a soda type lid. You can also get a straw if it is hard to drink out of.“

“amazing acai bowls and smoothies! so delicious“

“This is a nice boba place. I went here and was satisfied with my experience. I walked into here and ordered a large Oreo brown sugar milk tea with boba inside. I had to wait about twenty minutes for my order, but that’s because they had a promotion with a 99% discount, so it only cost $0.07. My drink tasted quite good, having small Oreo chunks and an ideal amount of boba. Each boba piece was quite large and very tasty. I gave this boba place five stars because it has tasty boba.“

“Great quality, which is reflected in the price - but at least through the major online ordering services there are often a few items priced as BOGO, which is a great opportunity to try something new. As everyone has said, the black sugar is amazing, with a unique, complex sweetness.“

“Mango Crepe Cake in the bomb!“

“The onigiri is absolutely amazing, everything is flavorful and beautifully proportioned. Love the extra mile that they do to for carry out packaging. Very authentic flavors.“

“This place did not disappoint! Our usual spot to get a cheesecake crepe stopped selling them. We found this place and let’s just say we won’t be back to our normal spot. The crepe was so amazing! Soft and decadent! The cheesecake inside was perfect consistency and had a crust with it. If you haven’t been here you are missing out!!“

“Fantastic service and the best salad, soup and 1/2 sandwich special around! Their chicken club is to die for! Couple this with literally any of their teas for an incredible meal.“

“Amazing sushi and great staff! Definitely come check it out“

“Phoenix, Daniela, and daren (i don’t know if that’s how you spell it) but they were amazing they have very fun energy and they really make me want to come back and just give you guys all of my money lol. I’m so greatful for people like them, they are doing so good! also the drink was amazing💕“

“Yum and wow! Must try! The menu is insane!🥳🥰🎉🤩“
