50 Best Bubble Tea near Annandale

“Amazing tea, great staff, definitely recommend!“

“Delicious boba—especially the taro milk one! And it's a really cool atmosphere with chill music!“

“Ben Gong's Tea locations are not that common, but they make their mark by producing consistent drinks every time I go.
The cups here are unique and I like their designs. I get their cheese slush or mango sago. While I like Yi Fang's mango sago better, ben gong also has a decent drink.
I always feel like their drinks are never that cold. Perhaps because the cups are a little more insulated?“

“Love this place! Our friends took us here one night and can't get enough of it“

“We love Snocream now back at the Hawaiian bbq in same shopping center where the block was“

“The place is soooo cute with all the panda decorations. The food is good and made fresh, but I was disappointed by having my dumplings served on a paper plate, and my cucumber salad in a plastic container. Dumplings felt a little heavy for my preference. The person working here was very nice and helpful.

I feel like they are missing out a huge opportunity with their food presentation to make it a full panda experience. I liked it and would probably come here if I lived nearby, but wouldn’t go out of my way to come here to eat.

Panda dumplings: 10.98
Fried rice chicken: 12.98
Cucumber salad: 6.98
Strawberry lychee fruit tea with lychee jelly: 6.70“

“definitely best boba in dmv, even the world! we are regulars here (1-3 times a week) and never go to a different place—not even other kung fu tea locations! atmosphere is great—they play cheerful music. staff are welcoming and so so kind. boba is delicious too! chewy, sweet, and refreshing! love this boba place so much i cannot put it in words.“

“We had dinner here for the first time on Thursday night, and it was such a treat. Service was amazing. Cocktails were fabulous. Food was good. And the overall ambience was so lovely. Highly recommend a spicy margarita, ordered less sweet. It was sooo good. Would go back for this drink alone. We would go back for the drinks and service and ambience for sure.“

“My favorite bubble tea shop! My top picks are the Taro Sago Latte and the Mango Pomelo Sago. First, they can make both drinks with zero sugar, and second, the zero-sugar versions actually taste great—very friendly for anyone watching their sugar intake.

Besides ordering at the counter, I also really appreciate that they have self-ordering kiosks. It’s super convenient to order on your own without any pressure. Highly recommend!“

“My 4-month-old and I absolutely love this place. The ambiance, environment, and design are wonderfully spacious and kid-friendly. The top-notch food and drinks, especially the fresh sugar cane juice, are my personal favorites. My little one would probably agree if he could express it (maybe in a year). Overall, I'd rate this place 9.5/10. The only thing missing is an entertainment center or a selfie/promo spot for young adults, but they more than make up for it with their incredible drink.“

“First time here and I loved it! The food brought me straight back to my Vietnamese childhood, real street food flavors like when I was young.

We ordered the hot & sour boneless claws, hot & sour crunch, rice paper salad, and saté rice paper, everything was flavorful, fresh, and so satisfying. The place is cute, clean, and cozy with a very welcoming vibe.

They even have a lucky spin, and I got 15% off my total order, which made the experience extra fun. On top of that, the cashier was a very friendly lady, which made the visit even better.

I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this spot if you love authentic Vietnamese street food.“

“From the moment you step in, it's like entering a boba paradise. The aroma alone is enough to make your taste buds sing. I always go for their signature Milk Tea with pearls – the tea is perfectly brewed, the milk is creamy, and the pearls are delightfully chewy.

But let's be real, it's the experience that seals the deal. The staff are always super friendly and helpful, even when there's a line out the door. Plus, the customizable sweetness levels mean you can tailor your drink to perfection. Trust me, darling, Gong Cha is not just a tea shop; it's a whole mood.“

“Good service and great staff. My daughter loved her tea.“

“Omg! Great tea shop! Just stopped in and took a recommendation for the Jasmine milk tea with boba, awesome. Please open one in Colorado, we have a huge demographic for tea. Thanks!“

“We went to the Haywood Mall grand opening today and absolutely loved the energy!!!! The drinks were soooo delicious and of course I bought a key chain! The boys also played a game and won tumblers🥰“

“I have been wanting to eat at this ramen place for a while and today on 12/29/25 , I finally visited taichi bubble tea and I had their tomato based vegetarian ramen soup and their matcha boba milk tea and it was so flavorful , tasty , filling , and delicious. since I'm vegetarian , I appreciate the fact that staff helped me choose the vegetarian option to avoid eating ramen with meat or fish broth. Taichi bubble tea is now of my favorite ramen places in DC. Thank you for accomodating vegetarians like myself and for providing unique boba drinks too.“

“This spot is one of the few Vietnamese street snack shops in the DMV area that’s truly owned and operated by Vietnamese staff. I stopped by over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised to find a wide variety of authentic street snacks. I ordered the fried rice cake, and it was delicious—very close to what I remember having in Vietnam years ago.

I had already grabbed a drink before arriving, so I didn’t try their milk tea this time, but it’s definitely on my list for the next visit. The customer service was excellent as everyone I interacted with, especially Kristina, was friendly and welcoming. While the exterior is simple, the inside is bright, clean, and nicely decorated.

I also appreciated their visible support for military personnel, which I don’t often see at Asian restaurants in the U.S. Looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes and their milk tea.“

“Nice tea. Good flavors. Friendly staff.“

“The absolutely ecstatic employee Thao was such a great ball of energy to be around! So kind and patient and was able to accomodate me as well as she can speak Vietnamese and English. She was so patient and humble and I am truly thankful for such an experience!“

“The cold matcha latte was excellent. I ordered it at 50% sweetness with regular ice, and it was perfectly balanced. The shop is small, but the customer service was outstanding; the staff were polite and friendly. The store itself was clean, well-organized, and nicely decorated. The bathroom was exceptionally clean and fresh which was truly a rare find, especially in an Asian shopping market.“

“Nice and fast service, we’re love it“

“Convenient and have self checkout kiosk , waiting a bit sometimes and my orders was messed up with another people order .
After all the bubble tea have good taste and can adjust the sugar levels as per my need . I am buble tea lover and often I get back here to get one .“

“Fun food, good portions, friendly environment“

“Absolutely love TeaDo in Fairfax! 💜 Their drinks are always amazing, and my go-to favorite is the Ube Milk Tea — so creamy and flavorful. It can get really packed sometimes, and the line for ordering and picking up drinks can take a little while, but honestly, once you take that first sip, it’s 100% worth the wait. The atmosphere is perfect for hanging out and catching up with friends. Can’t wait to be back!“

“This place is unique and a delight to have in pentagon row! They have flavors I’ve never had anywhere before. The staff is friendly and the ice cream is made in house and it’s absolutely wonderful! Good excuse to take a walk to try every flavor! Yummy!!!“

“Thank you for my bonus drink (iced coconut milk) to try tonight. That was kind but not necessary. The Caribbean Breeze was delicious!!“

“Absolutely delicious. The only ice cream store I know of that will split a single. Wonderful customer experience.“

“best bun cha ha noi in town.“

“My favorite boba tea place in town! 🧋😋“

“One of my favorite drink shops! The strawberry tea slush is my number one favorite. I was so happy to receive a lucky Chinese New Year red envelope when I purchased my favorite drink. That was so sweet and thoughtful! Wishing this store lasting success and prosperity forever.“

“As we all know, good pho is judged primarily by the broth. I’ve had better tasting broth and if I could, would give this spot 4.5 stars instead. The broth was missing something. Maybe anise or ginger? Although, excellent value. The bowl was relatively larger than is expected in the area. The slices of beef were tender. Overall, definitely recommend.“

“We go to Whale Tea pretty regularly since it’s opened up. My favorites are the oolong tea with foam and aloe, and my kids like the brown sugar milk teas with pearls. They also really like trying the seasonal drinks and that there’s cake pops and macarons :)

The shop aims to be a third space, to integrate with the community - it’s modern and cozy, excellent bathroom, and whoever selects the music does a good job. I like sitting there and reading around lunchtime, and often there are uni students on their laptops.
For warm weather, there’s a waiting area for dogs with toys and water bowls/jugs. Right now in winter, they’ve put out a dome for outside seating and decorated it with lights :)

I love chatting with the owner and the staffers, and learning a bit about the business and them as people. They don’t mind my adhd kids 😅😝

The only thing I hope they see growth in is figuring out their target market. They started as a clear high-end-tea boba shop, with a taste that is probably more accepted in Rockville than DC (fresh fruit in the tea, tea base that is never oversteeped, excellent boba prep, foam that is salty - all the things i like).

As they are figuring out their business model, the menu has expanded vastly and hasn’t stabilized yet.

I think this business wants more to welcome and love people than it cares about selling a particular food. Once they figure out how to present this consistently as a brand, it’ll be perfect.“

“Look, it's a chain boba place. I don't expect my mind to be blown. It's consistent and what I need when I need it. Their staff seems to be the only inconsistent thing. However whenever I have experienced a rude employee, I don't see them again. So clearly they know when there is a problem and they adjust.“

“This place is my FAVORITE bubble tea shop in the area. Tried it yesterday and came back today for the same drink. I want to try something different but the Stella Blue is just so good! 😋 Highly recommend. It's also not a chain so that's an added bonus.“

“Gong Cha in Arlington never misses. Their Hong Kong milk tea is absolutely out of this world, the passion fruit green tea is extraordinary, and you truly can’t go wrong with the classic pearl black milk tea. The baristas are always friendly and accommodating, and they pack everything really well—perfect for taking your drinks on the go or in the car.“

“excellent offerings. loved it. will be back for the ice cream“

“Nice tea. Good flavors. Friendly staff.“

“I recommend this place 100%. It’s our favorite place for CC brown sugar and matcha latte! I once dropped my drink by accident and they kindly replaced it without hesitation. The staff is always super friendly, and the shop is always clean and organized. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We ordered 4 drinks: mango pomelo sago (mine), thai milk tea, brown sugar milk tea, and mango passion green tea. I only had a picture of my drink below. They were out of bubbles that day, but we picked other toppings instead so it was all good. The staff was super nice and friendly; they gave me the super cute cup and straw sleeves! The store was clean and cozy but a bit small.

The drinks were very tasty. I tried my dad’s mango passion green tea, and we both thought it was refreshing. My brother and uncle got the other 2 drinks, and they liked theirs too. For my mango pomelo sago, I ordered cream cheese foam with it, but there wasn’t much so the flavor didn’t come through—I had expected to taste some creaminess and saltiness from the foam. The mango was sweet enough to my liking. It was generally good; I’m just picky when it comes to mango. To sum up, I’d recommend this place and come back!“

“Gong Cha in Georgetown was overall a pretty standard bubble tea experience—nothing particularly special, but it met expectations. Ordering was convenient with two kiosks available, and the drinks tasted just as expected. The interior didn’t feel especially clean, which was a bit of a downside.

However, the egg waffle was absolutely perfect—crispy and delicious! I’d definitely come back just for the waffle.“

“One of the best in the area 💯💯“

“Mmmm very coconut-y and chocolatey 🥥🌴😋“

“My favorite Pad thai with shrimp“

“The Tom Volcano Ramen at TomRamen is a fiery, flavor-packed bowl that lives up to its name. Its rich, chili-forward broth delivers intense heat while still offering deep umami comfort. Springy noodles, tender chashu pork, and a creamy egg balance the spice beautifully. At $16.95, it’s a hearty, satisfying choice for anyone craving bold ramen with a kick. I will be coming back again“

“I always go here for Pho. I like their spring roll, very tasty. The staff is friendly. Their lunch special comes with a drink and spring roll and it is pretty cheap.“

“I’ve been here twice since I was introduced to this place. Both time were good experiences. Customer service is good. I’ve had the matcha red bean slush w/ bubbles & the Oreo slush with bubbles... both were great. & I like their boba bc they are cooked just right. I would recommend people to come.“

“Very cute and cozy spot to grab a drink/treat and hang out, or study and get work done on your own. The ambiance is perfect, with comfortable seating that's appropriately spaced. Love that there are rattan chairs for more comfortable and relaxed seating, as well as regular chairs, benches, and tables for work mode. There are lots of options on the menu.“

“Thank you for my bonus drink (iced coconut milk) to try tonight. That was kind but not necessary. The Caribbean Breeze was delicious!!“

“I absolutely love this place, their crepes are incredible. I’ve had the matcha chocolate truffle and the lychee rose and both were excellent. The crepe itself is so crisp and the fillings are always balanced and not too sweet. My only feedback is I wish they had knives and plates to put the crepe on; I was sharing two with a friend and it was impossible to cut them with plastic forks and try to share. Besides that it’s so delicious and I can’t wait to try more of them!“
