50 Best Bubble Tea in San Antonio

“i've been here twice and my bestie and i LOVE this cute lil place. yes it's near downtown, but there's always parking for us. plus the trip is worth it- the drink prices are fair, the kimbap comes with a LOT of pieces and filling, and the service is amazing. all the workers are so sweet and you can tell they love what they're doing!

drinks: so far i've tried the rose milk, matcha milk, matcha&taro milk, and mango milk boba teas, but they're flavored so well. also, when they first opened, i wanted a particular flavor that wasn't on the menu and they made it for me :D the only critique here is probably the boba- it's not as soft and i wish it were sweeter (perhaps more time boiling and more brown sugar syrup?)

food: the kimchi and vegetarian kimbaps are 10/10. all the ingredients taste and look so fresh. the tteokbokki is okay

studying: it's a small space and every time we come it's bustling, so this is great to study in if you like background noise!

extras: they have stamp cards, which is perfect if you're a student. also, you can take cute polaroids and put them up. and they sell cup ramen near the front!“

“Great Food with great service i would to come back again for sure.“

“Read a review saying if you download the app, your first drink is free so thougt we'd give it a try. Got a matcha frap w/ boba, match latte no sugar and hibiscus flower drink and they're all awesome. Some of the best matcha drinks I've ever had! Download the app or don't but its definitely worth the trip.“

“Got the strawberry mango tea with strawberry boba. The flavor is excellent. One of the best teas I've had. 100% recommended“

“I love the traditional Vietnamese/coffee house vibes. When I lived in Houston, these types of places are on every corner, and the food/drinks are delicious. I'm so glad to have found a good spot in San Antonio. Bahn-Mi's are unmatched for San Antonio and their drinks are also amazing! (I had the pomegranate lychee green tea today.) Cannot recommend this spot enough.“

“Cute little place to relax and have Thai milk tea boba 🧋 family style environment. Absolutely love it !!!“

“This is one of our favorites. They have great drinks, with so many options. The restaurant is absolutely spotless. The staff is very welcoming. Its reasonably priced and a fun place to go on an inexpensive night out. our family has really enjoyed it.“

“The tea is good, but when I order mini boba and they dont have it they always add regular boba without asking :( I only come here because it’s one of the only places with mini boba. Last time I went they did this and the boba was also so hard in the center so I had to throw the drink away“

“I get my boba tea fixing here almost every week. They have THE BEST classic milk tea boba in the city. My husband gets taro slush every time, which is so creamy and comforting. The lychee black tea is also highly recommended his you like something citrusy and refreshing. The slushes are always made with high quality ingredients perfectly blended and never powdery. There are so many cute and trendy drinks to choose from. Their bobas are fresh and perfect 9 out of 10 times. They never messed up my order once after all the times I’ve been there over the years unlike other boba places. They always get the sweetness perfect. The guy who always works there is super nice and kind to my husband whenever he picks up our orders. I’ve been disappointed other boba tea places in San Antonio for making me bad drinks countless of times, but this place has never disappointed me. A little piece of happiness.“

“Amazing teas and incredible service.“

“My favorite places ! Came here every day try different flavor drinks so delicious . Customer service very good . Recommend anyone to come in and try Tealicious Cafe“

“Artea will ALWAYS be my go-to boba spot; I just wish they had more than 2 locations 📍

They serve Taiwanese popcorn chicken and it’s ACTAULLY good with differing spice levels 😋

The boba pearls are always so soft and fresh when I order my drink 🥹🥹 It’s hard to find a boba shop that serves freshly made pearls

My go-to meal: poke nachos 🐠, Taiwanese popcorn chicken bento box 🍱, and pudding boba milk tea 🧋

They also have an app that you can download to earn rewards points and order ahead of time ⏰

I love their food so much that I’ve joked and was semi serious when telling my husband that I should submit an application to work at one of their locations just so I can have the food more often 🔥

Thank you, Artea, for always filling my stomach and giving a warm hug to my heart with the amazing food and drinks you guys serve!“

“The Waffles are to die for! And the drinks pure heaven!“

“I had weight loss surgery and cannot have a lot of concentrated sugar without getting really sick. I forgot to order my drink without sweetener. The nice people at the counter remade my drink without charge or questions. It was so wonderful! Thanks a ton!!!“

“Awesome place to enjoy some Bubble Tea! The owner and staff are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“This is my second time coming here and it’s totally worth the drive from Austin! The bánh mì is always fresh, flavorful, and packed with goodness. The bread is crispy on the outside, soft inside—just how it should be. I tried the egg bánh mì this time and it hit the spot. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Definitely one of my favorite bánh mì spots now!“

“Fkn Delicious! ^-^ •.°♡°.•“

“非常好的体验哦！甜甜蜜蜜🥰“

“We are very pleased with the service and drinks that we received today. The barista and the cashier were very friendly and had very good recommendations. The mango milk slush came out very well made the ice was perfectly soft with no ice chunks in it. I give them 5 stars. Keep up the good work“

“Teazzty Tea Bar is such a cute and welcoming spot! 🧋✨ The boba was refreshing with great flavor choices, and the staff made the experience even better. I’d love to see more menu options (like smoothies 😉), but overall it’s definitely a place I’ll be coming back to and recommending!“

“This is the spot to find delicious authentic food. The food is made to order and served fresh. The owner is so kind and makes us feel welcomed. We like to take an order of lotus flower cookies home. They are homemade and unique. Our boys like the boba drinks. My favorite plate is the Pad Thai, but I just had the soup and now it’s my new favorite. Go check it out!“

“The bubbles teas are really delicious!“

“Frequent customer, I love the lemon chicken and fried rice! I’ve ordered more than 20 times with them and never once got my order wrong. Food always fresh and the staff is ALWAYS friendly and welcoming. 10/10“

“Very rude manager.. I tried to get 3 different flavor drinks for my 6 year old. And they kept saying no we don’t sell them in regular size just large. I told them them why do you all have it on regular size menu. She said well they haven’t updated it. Ok I told her how is that my fault they should honor what they have up. She said either take it or I won’t sell it to you. And you can go.. I said let me speak w a manager she said I am the manager. Even other customers said that’s wrong and they were just trying to get money out of people.. never ever would I go there again. And I will tell others about this. My son left crying because he wanted a drink. From 6-11 bucks on drink. Very rude and unprofessional people. Why have this if you won’t honor it. Apparently wowwee lemonade and pink drinks and strawberry milk all large only.. I didn’t even try to figure out other drinks.“

“Very delicious 😋 and not pricey“

“Wouldn't see myself going anywhere else. Absolutely hate when I crave it on Tuesdays. So many options to try but I like to stick with my favorite! The owner knows exactly how I like it and is usually ringing up my order when he sees me walk in, love how he pays attention to the details.“

“I had a A Poke bowl So many fresh Vegetables & toppings to choose from. So worth the money! I had the Tempura shrimpl, soo.. delicious! My New Favorite Spot!“

“had the combination lomein and the ninga chicken food was exelent“

“It just hits different at this location. yummy boba !!“

“Ginza has fresh tasting food and large portion sizes for all meals. I can never eat it all. The Boba smoothies are sooo gd. I usually get the chicken and rice or chicken with Ramen soup. The chicken is crispy so gd. Or teriyaki chicken also gd. Staff are very friendly.

Parking: The parking is in a long strip of other stores so sometimes it's hard to find parking. There are only about 3 handicap spots.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly meaning many families go here

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes entrance is flat no stairs“

“I have never tasted pho like this, I am a pho enthusiast so I have eaten at many different places. I guess pho tastes different depending on the region. My partner also did not like their pho, they said it tasted gamey (beef brisket and flank). The pho I got was the beef stew, it tasted like I was straight up eating bbq water, it was very sweet and there was minimal salt. It did not have the aromatics I’m used to and instead it tasted as if a sauce was put in to flavor the soup. The dishes are not cheap either, each dish is 10+, I went home and grabbed a pizza after.

Hello! Update. I decided to give this place another try and I got their regular brisket pho, it was very delicious and flavorful. Their boba tea was also tasty :-)“

“The food is amazing and the service is incredible! Definitely a go to place for us now. Haven’t had pho since we left DC six years ago. FANTASTIC!!!! 5 stars for sure!“

“Enjoyed my Ramen! Quick, friendly service.“

“The best place to get boba or any drink. The manager and or owner is the nicest person you’ll meet. He goes above and beyond. I have been coming for over a year and have never been treated bad. Always great vibes and great customer service. I get the mango creamsicle with mango popping boba and mango jelly and it is the best boba drink i’ve had hands down. 11/10.“

“Ordered on doordash and man they did not dissappoint. They will make it authentic thai level spicy which is almost impossible to find in texas, however they don’t just kick up the heat, with the heat comes authentic flavor. If you love spicy foods this is the place for you. I’m fighting for my lie drenched in sweat, but I am in heaven. Its been such a long time since ive experienced utopia such as this.“

“I love Kokee! RJ was very attentive and knew all about the different kinds of drinks on the menu. I had a great experience as all the staff were friendly and kind. I love their brown sugar dalgonatte coffee 🧋 they definitely satisfied my sweet tooth !!“

“Small shop, but excellent service and quality.“

“Wouldn't see myself going anywhere else. Absolutely hate when I crave it on Tuesdays. So many options to try but I like to stick with my favorite! The owner knows exactly how I like it and is usually ringing up my order when he sees me walk in, love how he pays attention to the details.“

“My favorite places ! Came here every day try different flavor drinks so delicious . Customer service very good . Recommend anyone to come in and try Tealicious Cafe“

“The atmosphere was very welcoming, very open space, friendly servers, I even found when I went an event with Hoyoverse (game creator). There was games to play while you drank your boba and ate the delicious Korean fried chicken (I personally recommend this item). Everything about The NesT was very welcoming and peaceful.“

“Today I had the best grilled pork egg rolls with peanut sauce. I’ve had breakfast here several times as well. Very good boba tea too so I highly recommend this cafe. The photo is from a lunch visit.“

“The bubbles teas are really delicious!“

“This was my first time trying them and I’m so happy I did! I got the Vietnamese coffee and a pho soup — the soup came super fresh, and the coffee tasted absolutely delicious, light and healthy. Definitely ordering from them again! Thank you!“

“This small Café was so clean and beer decor is cute! They have huge menus which was amazing because some hold recommendations and info! But for the drinks they were delicious we ordered from here a couple times and every time we do we're always satisfied with what we get! I myself always get the chocolate strawberry with cream and strawberry popping pearls! So I highly recommend that and this place!“

“Muy buen servicio exquisita la comida 😋“

“Always stop by here to get some taro milk tea. Last time they were like 10 minutes away from closing but the older Asian gentleman didn’t hesitate to help me out. Really kind of him. They were out of their tapioca boba but offered me another type they had. Very good service so I had to leave a review“

“The food is good but they STILL don’t have any heat. Went there a while back and thought no heat was a minor set back and repairs would be made. Its a few months later and they haven’t had it fixed. Won’t go back til summer. The food was served hot but was barely room temp just moments later because it was so cold in the restaurant. Not good.“
