Bubble Bee @ Shadyside

Undercooked boba was disappointing, the boba to tea ratio is pretty low, the tea was good..

Got the donut and bubble tea option and I picked the passion fruit popping boba. Good option for people who like fruity and less sugary drink. I liked the matcha mochi donut as well!

A very nice little bubble tea shop on Centre Ave. The atmosphere is quite good and the company’s entire branding just has a feel good feel to it. They also have a shop in Ross Park Mall. I tried out their classic brown sugar milk tea as well as a milk chocolate mocha donut.

To be honest, the brown sugar boba was pretty average. There wasn’t anything too special about it. Nice and light drink, not crazy sweet, which was nice. Not much boba in it though. Price was okay. They had a donut and drink combo for a decent price.

The real star of this snack break was the mochi donut. It’s got a very cool, chewy texture to it. The milk chocolate on top really added a lovely sweet touch to it. I would even definitely recommend trying one.

All in all, a cute little boba shop. Decent drinks, but the mochi donuts are what are really unique and tasty.

Kid-friendliness: Kids would enjoy the drinks and donuts especially

This location is between Bloomfield and Shadyside, so the fact that it has a dedicated parking lot was a win in my book! That was the first plus I noticed, and it only got better from there.

The Brown Sugar Oreo Boba Milk Tea, one of Bubble Bee's specials, is not too sweet but definitely satisfies that sweet tooth craving. The double chocolate mochi donut was . I went around 11 AM and it tasted fresh.

In addition to the clutch parking + treats, the staff answered my questions and I got to look at the cute decor while I waited.

Overarching thought: can't wait to go again

I have only ever ordered delivery from here but the donuts and bubble tea are absolutely delicious. The prices are a little expensive considering what you get but the donuts are very good.

Confection shopping for a special event. Stopped here… strawberry doughnut bite was greasy af so they definitely need me to work on oil temperature; and while they’re at it, t work on customer service. Xiaojing was unfriendly and unwelcoming, which is very unfortunate in today’s culture. Know and do better.

Was fun to try the popping boba. Had to search around for the right straw. The fat straws are next to the register. They were out of what I wanted. Loved the mochi donuts.

The photo of the strawberry cheesecake bubble tea and what I got were too different things. It didn't have layers of strawberry puree on the bottom and no cheese cap on top. Just one homogenous mix that tastes like straight sugar. I don't need to come back here

FREE Parking in the back! Enter through 998 S Millvale ave. Delicious tea as expected. I get the classic pearl milk tea with less sugar and no ice. It's perfect.

I stopped by, I’ve been keeping my eye on the place. It’s a cute little shop, they have mochi donuts which I’m excited about. I didn’t get any on my first visit but I did get the pina colada milk tea which was delicious, I was just too sweet for me. Now I know to ask for less sugar. I definitely have to come back.

Mochi donuts are not made properly icing is too sticky and it’s not supposed to be (i am in new York and Boston all the time and if you had them there you will know these are terrible) the bubble tea flavors are not good there are so many more places around to go to instead. And worst part of all they always miss the toppings I PAYED for when ordering online ??‍♀️ won’t be returning again i gave them too many chances and wasted my money
