26 Best Bubble Tea in Pittsburgh

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

“Anything! Its all good and delicious!“

“Visiting Pittsburgh after a long time, and this boba spot was an absolute steal. Definitely worth the 56-minute drive.

🧋 Dirty Oreo — 8/10
🌹 Rosy Oolong Milk Tea — 8/10“

“Squirrel Hill has become the hub of Boba. There seems to be a Boba shop at every corner, not that I’m complaining. This Boba shop is at joining the mango mango restaurant , which I completely adore. I got the classic milk tea Boba and it was good. That’s the problem I have with Boba where it’s very difficult to tell if a Boba is well-made or not. It’s completely different from coffee where you can tell if a coffee is well-made or not. That’s why I don’t know how to think of a Boba place. There is seating inside, if you want to but most people I saw took their drinks outside. You can order on a screen, and then they will call your name when your order is done. Pretty standard. The prices are pretty standard as well. I still prefer Tsaocaa which is couple doors down.“

“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 😆“

“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.“

“They have non dairy milk! (Soy and oat). I didn’t see this until after I had placed my order. I happened to notice one of the employees opening a carton of oat milk while I was waiting for my order which prompted me to return to the menu and scroll through looking for non-dairy milk options. It was confusing to find it Because it was listed under the “milk tea” section. So if you scroll down to the milk tea section and select your drink, under one of the drop-down menus, it says milk options, and then you can choose oat or soy. There is no up-charge, which is great.
I Hadn’t bothered to look for any non-dairy milk options because it doesn’t seem to be very common at bubble tea shops. I know there is one in Lawrenceville that offers non-dairy milk. Lawrenceville is not very convenient to get to on the bus.
will definitely return to get another drink with or soy. It’s also worth it to know, when you order if you need something dairy free, make sure to select “0% milk foam”. I also like to have the option to choose the amount of sweetener and ice level for your drink.“

“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! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡“

“They have undoubtedly the best spicy chicken sandwich anywhere in the USA. And I'm not exaggerating. I've been trying spicy chicken sandwiches all around the USA looking for anywhere that makes them as well as the ones I tried in Asia. Nowhere ever came close -- until now. They have a Perfect Spice blend in the breading 10/10, Shredded lettuce on a sesame seed bun with mayo 10/10, CHICKEN THIGH BREADED AND COOKED TO PERFECTION 10000/10. I wish I could send a 6th star. I will be coming back again. A lot.“

“Secret Menu local item: Longan Jujube Tea. All the aunties love it, really happy with the recommendation. Usually get peach yogurt or ginger? Everyone is super sweet, love this place. Nice little seating area off to the side as well if you want a lil Boba date!“

“Such a great hidden gem! Everything I’ve had from Amy’s has been so high quality and delicious! The tea is delicious, the boba is fresh, and the desserts are irresistible! It’s such a cute shop as well with such nice people! It’s also rare to find such a yummy bakery that’s open so late.“

“Great food. Great people.“

“If you love matcha I think you will like this cozy spot in Squirrel Hill. You can choose your level of matcha, level five being the strongest. They also offer weekly rotating soft serve flavors and matcha ice cream you can have at different levels of matcha as well. The indoor and outdoor seating is fine and I appreciate the public bathroom.

My fave was the blueberry matcha latte but it’s ube season now. My current favorite is the iced banana pudding matcha latte with coconut milk at level one.“

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

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

“I had the chicken bite to go. The soy garlic chicken was so Delicious I couldn’t resist eating some of it asap! Crispy, tasty and a large portion. Also happy the chic was in a paper takeout container. Fast, friendly & good price. There is outdoor seating too. I had a regular Thai ice tea that was very good. I highly recommend it.“

“The staff at this bubble tea shop truly set it apart. Every employee is professional, kind, and genuinely committed to providing excellent customer service. They are always welcoming, patient, and attentive, making every visit a positive experience. It is clear that they take pride in their work and care about their customers. Their friendliness and dedication create an atmosphere that keeps people coming back. Exceptional service from an outstanding team.“

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

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

“Had a wonderful experience at Bubble Bee Shadyside! The drinks were fresh, delicious, and made perfectly. The atmosphere was cozy, welcoming, and a great place to relax and enjoy a treat. The mochi donuts and bubble tea were absolutely amazing and definitely worth trying.
A special shout-out to Luna at reception—she was incredibly kind, friendly, and professional. Her warm smile and excellent customer service made the visit even more enjoyable.
Highly recommend Bubble Bee Shadyside, and thank you, Luna, for your outstanding hospitality! 💕🌟“

“We had the Snakehead fish soup in pickle cabbage and beef satay. The snakehead fish soup is very good, the fish is fresh that makes the whole dish worth to try. And for the beef satay, it is always become our favorite appetier. The beef is so tender and well marinated. We will come back again for sure!“

“I’ve been coming here throughout my time at CMU, and it’s easily one of my favorite spots near campus. The food is affordable, tastes great, and the portions are huge. Sometimes one order is enough for two meals. The service is also very fast, which is perfect between classes. If you’re a student looking for a filling and budget-friendly lunch or dinner, I highly recommend this place.“

“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. ❤️“

“The service is kind and friendly. The host who wore the SpongeBob shirt helped me and got everything right even though my English is not perfect. I really appreciate it.

The food portions are good, and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. The Indonesian fried rice spicy 3 is really good.
I recommend this restaurant and will come back again.“

“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.“
