43 Best Bubble Tea near Bala Cynwyd

“We are really lucky to have a great food place like Platform Z in Bala Cynwyd. Their poke is delicious and also had a taste of their ramen which was so comforting and tasty! Please make sure to check them out and try everything on the menu :)“

“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! ❤️“

“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!“

“A great casual Korean spot in the spring garden! They have many lunch specials and lunch boxes, appetizers, noodles, rice, soup, and rice balls (to go). I personally really liked the flavors of the soup and was satisfied! A few tables are available for seating but can be filled up quickly. The cashier and other staff were very friendly as well!“

“Excellent quality sushi! My family ordered a couple sushi combos and a special roll and everything was super fresh and absolutely delicious. Best sushi I had on a long time (inmy opinion, in terms of ramen and sushi it beats some otherJapanese restaurants in the area)“

“The boba tea was delicious!“

“It was my first time trying gong cha, i looked up reviews and ordered strawberry milk tea with coconut jelly, its exactly strawberry milk taste rather than tea but still tasty. As most of beverage is, it is not cheap about $7.35? Around that for large. They have medium and large size You can also pick sugar level. I just had regular level and it was sweet enough! But if you are not into sweet stuff as much, you can reduce level of sweetness that was plus!“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“donuts were amazing! teas were so good and my kids and hubby loved the fried potato stick“

“This place is great. I come here every week to grab a drink just before the weekend. Service is always fast and my drink is always made just how I like. The owner always greets me by name which adds a special touch to the service. It’s without a doubt one of the best boba tea places.“

“I went in yesterday for a free birthday drink but wasn't able to find the coupon in the app. The girl was so sweet and hooked me up with a free medium drink of my choice regardless and apologized for the long wait (they were SUPER busy). Really kind, hard working staff and I just hope they know I appreciate their kindness. Will continue coming here to buy drinks when I'm craving a slushee or bubble tea. Thanks, guys!“

“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.“

“I love bunnies (and have my own) and knew I had to come here. The employees were so nice, and the store was so cute—filled with a bunch of bunnies. Highly recommend coming here. Obviously, I had to get the bunny fruit tea, and it was so good and refreshing.“

“I had matcha milk tea drink today at S&P boba located at H Market. It’s very very tasty I love it so much.“

“I went here for the first time with a friend who recommended it, and I fell in love on the spot!!!! I had gotten the monster cookies and cream ice milkshake with cinnamon toast crunch pieces mixed in, and cookie crumbles on top. I want to try their mason jar ice next time. Along with the Boba teas.“

“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.“

“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.“

“New place. Came here via FB event, "Cars & Doughnuts". Small independent business. Pretty good mochi. I had a creme Brule mochi and a chai tea. I didn't like the Boba balls, tbh I don't get the fad surrounding them. Good service, they're gonna need more workers for sure, I can see this place getting popular. The chai was awesome, way better than any other place of recent memory. The mochi was good too, not too sweet like pastries you would find at a DD or Wawa. They didn't hurt my stomach and were quite pleasant. I will be returning.“

“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!“

“I was killing time while my daughter was at an event nearby, and decided to check out the food court. This potato hotdog was NO JOKE one of the best things I've eaten in a while. Made hot and fresh, and had such a good flavor. The guy who assisted me was super helpful and friendly. I'm absolutely going to come back.“

“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!“

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

“A lot of places don't live up to the hype. That is not the case with Surreal. From the second we walked in, we were greeted, and asked if it was our first visit. The employee that helped us was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We were offered samples and suggestions. Our customer experience alone was worth the trip. The Thai milk tea was the best I have ever had. I was offered a sample of the taro ice cream (not something I would have ordered on my own) and WOW. It might have been the best ice cream I have had. Needless to say I ordered one. Check it out, my entire family enjoyed their orders too. Absolutely worth the trip.“

“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.“

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

“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.........“

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

“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!“

“I met Agnes today.. she raved about the cafe she and her sister share. Her pride and overall light when describing their cafe drew me in. We visited the cafe and ordered veggie dumplings and veggie egg rolls with fried rice and boba tea to go. The food was beyond amazing, super flavorful, fresh, well priced and the portions were on point! To top it off, Agnes's sister ( didn't catch her name) she was kind, patient and accommodating-. cafe was also really cute and welcoming. We will be returning! Thanks guys.The food didn't sit long enough to snap pics sorry ????Im pescatarian, they had many options“

“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.“
