26 Best Bubble Tea in Pittsburgh

“Anything! Its all good and delicious!“

“Great poke bowls! Everything is fresh and delicious. I have had the spicy tuna and chicken teriyaki bowls. You can customize your own!“

“After searching for bubble tea with popping boba, we came here. On the second floor of a building just off of a main street, their menu includes bubble tea with popping boba. Our eight-year-old daughter ordered strawberry herbal tea with strawberry popping boba and loved it. My wife and I each got the oolong tea with boba at the 70% sweetness level. It was unique and tasty! There are tables and outlets inside. Restrooms are for customers only.“

“Every time I come up to Pittsburgh to visit (once a month at least) I HAVE to get boba from here. It is always perfection. Love how there’s so many different drinks and you can customize them to preference. They give SO much boba!!! Love of my life.
It is a little pricy, but for the size and quality you can’t complain.“

“fabulous. highly recommend the brown sugar black tea w/oreo BUT replace the tapioca with brown sugar jelly,,,it’s so good trust me. i love how many options there are—a much more interesting bubble tea shop as compared to some more standard ones i’ve been to“

“Yifang is truly like no other spot. Their drinks are always fresh, perfectly balanced, and honestly some of the best boba tea I have personally ever tried. Whether you’re a boba regular or new to it, Yifang sets the standard for what boba should be. 10/10 would recommend 😆“

“This place is by far the BEST!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this location. The owner and employees are amazing. The ingredients are always fresh and clean!!! The prices are outstanding!!! We even got to take home a little present. Thank you Gongcha and felix! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡“

“food was fantastic, and the bottomless Margaritas, sensational“

“this place is awesome!! the staff are so incredibly friendly and polite; i went to put my trash away and a man told me to just leave it and he'd get it haha. the food is amazing and the portion sizes are super generous for the prices (which are already reasonable!). i was not expecting the passionfruit tea to have actual passionfruit in it haha, that's really impressive, it was really good and the woman who made it even checked to ask if the sweetness level was okay😭😭🫶🫶🫶 would recommend to anyone!“

“I never thought coffee could be green. I thought it shouldn't be. In my mind, green was reserved for vegetables and Shrek. How wrong I was. Oh, how wrong. I feel like an idiot. Stupid! Stupid! Why didn't I step foot in Meccha Matcha sooner? How could I be so blind? My life changed the day inspiration hit me like a brick to the face like divine intervention and I spat out the heaven-sent ambition to look rightward on my walk down Murray Avenue to inhale vinyl dust and pretend to look at jazz music at Jerry's. Past the tables, beyond the glass, past some more tables, and behind a counter made of wood woodier than something that is made of wood, there stood a matcha barista – a matcharista, a machrista – named Isla? Idina? Indy? Not important. Ivy showed me the way. Irene splashed iced matcha in my face, and in an instant, I was awake, as if for the first time. Irving taught me that happiness lives in a plastic cup full of green liquid that has ice in it and also a straw in it. I would give ten stars if I could, but I can't, because there aren't that many stars.“

“The food is amazing. Very large portions and everything tasted delicious. We will be ordering from Pho51 Cafe again .“

“Parked outside of this establishment when I was going to dinner elsewhere, so I felt compelled to check it out! I had the Oreo cheesecake. It was nice and fluffy and light. The staff was very friendly and helpful. After reading other reviews I want to try the bubble tea and some more traditional Asian desserts like the buns etc!“

“Great service and amazing beverages. Will be stopping again the next time we are in Pittsburgh!!“

“I am leaving Pittsburgh so I feel like I am obligated to leave review for this restaurant, which saved myself during my time in Pittsburgh. As Korean, I still believe this restaurant would be very popular if it were in Korea. Their chicken is sooo crispy even with sauces. The portion is amazing too. I never had any issue with the food. My one advice is get a rice bowl if you can and have it together with soy garlic/sweet spicy chicken.“

“As a person who isn't fond of Boba Bubbles ( texture issue ), it's still a very good beverage option. My fiancée absolutely loves Kung fu tea & we make a stop every time we are in the area. The variety of drinks keeps it fun & interesting. Highly recommend using the app before planning a visit because making up your mind doesn't come quick lol.“

“Ignore the 3 star review from Tiffany “the local guide”. The mochi donuts are good, Tiffany is just uneducated on what a mochi donut is. “I though it would be mochi” “I was expecting a deep fried aka Dunkin’ Donuts”
Can’t be both Tiffany. Mochi is not usually deep fried.

“It was chewy but in a good way?”
Mochi is chewy. Have you just heard the word and imagined something in your head rather than actually try it before?

Mochi donuts, like other mochi, are made with glutinous rice flour. This gives them their chewy texture.

Tiffany’s review sounds like those people that substitute stuff in an online recipe then get mad when it doesn’t work because it’s not in the recipe.

In short, learn about what you’re eating before making useless comments“

“Amazing hot pot! This was my first time trying something like this and it was delicious. We had the tom yum and curry hotpot. It came with veggie, meat/fish sides that you cook in the broth. Kind of like an Asian fondue!
Their boba is ok, but the food is excellent and hit the spot on a cold rainy night!“

“Always have a great time at phats! The staff is always friendly and makes me feel welcome, and the drinks are great. Never had a bad night there!!!“

“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“

“Fully customizable, authentic bubble tea taste, as well as fun modern flavors and toppings! Love their metal reusable straw too!“

“Stopped here for lunch today and it was great! Staff was so friendly will definitely go again😀“

“I am a fan of Thai food, and I came for the first time to "Took took 98", since I was close to the place, WHAT A DELICIOUS FOOD!!!!, my husband and I ordered soups, to taste, rice with pineapple, oh my God!! Everything is really very tasty and the prices are very reasonable. Congratulations to the cook!!!, the waiters are very nice and friendly. IT WILL BE MY FAVORITE PLACE. ❤️“

“Recently moved to Pitt for school and kept walking by this cafe, looked interesting and had a lot of my favorite Taiwanese dishes, so I thought I'd give it a try. I got the fried pork chop over rice, eggplant w/ basil, and sauteed green beans. Wow... the comfort that Taiwanese food brings me? This hit the spot!
And I found a surprise when I started eating my pork chop rice, it came w/ a small serving of braise pork underneath and a tea egg, which basically was the bowtie on top of a fantastic meal!
Portions are fairly big too, I have enough leftovers for a meal or two~ Will definitely be going back to try more dishes!“

“My first experience here was quite interesting. The biggest highlight was how perfectly juicy and delicious my chicken was. Also, Ginger beer isn't bad at all. The seaweed salad was generously delicious. I had to take it home to finish it all and I'm glad i did! The service was so friendly, and the restaurant was so clean, I was ecstatic to be there. Next time I'll bring a friend! Can't wait to try a new dish!“

“Great place to eat when your pub crawling on the Southside“

“I was a little worried about trying this place because it had so many bad reviews, but my meal today was very good! I had the general tsos and it was deliciously crispy and saucy. I also like thar you have a choice of two sides with several options. I had the lo mein and steamed veggies. Portion size was great, I ate it for two meals. My food came out very fast.“
