My sister recommended this place and I love boba so I of course said yes. I saw they had a drink called matchaberry that I wanted to try and they decorated it with cute stars! The boba texture was also really fresh and chewy. Our friend also got the banana milk boba which tasted so much like the Korean banana milk. It was pretty slow when we went so our drinks came out super fast.

I was craving for avocado smoothy, the place I used to buy no longer have them. Finally found another place, was so excited and the drink is really good.

I've been to BoBaPoP twice now but I wanted to try out something that wasn't curated for me to try out. Inside there's enough tables to sit down to enjoy your drink. The counter has a vast menu that caters to what you normally see at other chains. I got the Ali Mountain Milk Tea with Lychee Jelly with 50% Sugar/Ice. It was just the perfect amount of sweetness though I think I could have used less ice. The drink is definitely a popular choice but it beats than having me go and order the usual Brown Sugar Boba drink. I would definitely come back for more if I'm in the area.

This beautiful restaurant is tucked in a fairly busy shopping center. Plenty of parking with excellent service. It has a chill atmosphere and the boba combinations is incredible. I got a frozen Pina colada with strawberry and popping balls. It was delicious and has become one of my favorite mixes. 10/10

This is the first time I’ve ever abandoned an order. I asked if brown sugar coffee had more caffeine than usual, because it’s listed under the “Energy Boost” menu at $7 something, but $5~ on the latte menu. The man looked annoyed and it explained it didn’t, and proceeded to ask if I wanted Vietnamese coffee (…? Why this was offered, I’m not sure). I said I’d have the brown sugar. He let me know they were out of boba and I said that was fine. He was additionally annoyed when I couldn’t hear him when he asked “regular milk or lactose free?” I held my hand up to my ear to ask him to repeat, and he harshly yelled it a second time. I paid the $8.48, but I sat there for a few minutes pretty embarrassed and honestly sad, so I left before my order was ready. He looked miserable, I guess because I made the mistake of entering at 8:45 when they close at 9. I had been excited about this place for a while after just moving to the area. Good luck to other folks visiting close to closing time!

Matchaberry!! Delicious, what a great surprise, great flavor. Place tucked in the corner of retail shop, not too busy, but came when first opened and steady traffic customers coming in and out.

Solid quality milk teas - definitely a step above other milk tea shops in terms of quality of the tea and the creamer. You can taste the tea well, and the creamer they use (the "milk" part of the milk tea) smoothly integrates with the tea. Highly recommend the roasted oolong milk tea and the jasmine milk tea - really fragrant tasting. Also recommend 30% for both sugar and ice.

I recently took my daughter to try bubble tea at a new place, and it's safe to say she's found her new favorite spot! She described it as 'way better than Kung Fu Tea,' which says a lot coming from her. The drinks at this place are next-level delicious, with a wide variety of flavors and toppings to choose from. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a great hangout spot. I'm thrilled to have found my daughter's new go-to bubble tea place, and I can see why she loves it so much. Highly recommend giving it a try!

I've passed this place many times when I go grocery shopping at Lidl and Hmart, so I finally took the opportunity to meet up with my friends here to check it out. There's a selection of caffeinated and non-caffeinated drinks. Since it was evening, we all looked at the non-caffeinated drink selection, which included hot teas, cold teas, slushies, and smoothies. After looking at everything, I ended up getting the Q3 yogurt - an Asian style yogurt topped with boba and 2 types of pudding/custard. I really enjoyed it and will probably take my kids back to enjoy it too. There are 4 small tables with seats. When we arrived at 7:30PM on a Monday night, there was only 1 other table occupied so we had no problem finding a seat, although I could imagine it being tougher on a weeknight. We had plenty of space to sit, but whenever someone ordered a latte, it would be quite loud while the milk was frothing. And because I'm a mom with kids, this trip to Bobapop also meant I stopped at Hmart afterwards. Which I see as a bonus of this location!

Awesome boba! Really tasty. Music was a bit loud, but that’s really the only negative. Great spot otherwise.

Excellent teas! I've stopped in a couple times to try different teas. I dropped by one evening after work to grab a pick me up, and I really enjoyed the Peach Green Tea that I ordered. It was ordered with 50% sweetness and light ice. I came in another time to grab some teas for my parents to try. I ordered the: Raspberry Tea, Sunrise Tea, Taro Milk Tea, Winter Melon Fruit Tea and [another] Peach Green Tea. All were at 50% sweetness with no ice. My parents loved the Taro Milk Tea and the Sunrise Tea. They liked the other ones as well, but just preferred the two.The same employee took my order the two times I was there. Really good service for sure. They are ready with recommendations if you aren't sure what to get or are not familiar with their menu. They are friendly and patient. The shop is clean and has a handful of tables and good number of chairs. Cute decorations and awesome wall murals: very photo-friendly! LOL.Best boba tea shop I've tried in the area so far. I would definitely come back to try other flavors.

I drink boba tea almost every day and got the Mango milk tea drink from this place with 30% sugar, no ice. It was basically a sugary syrup, almost see through so not even close to thick. The flavors were so artificial I had the same aftertaste as you do after drinking soda like Pepsi. Never again for sure.

Not only is Boba Pop cheaper than most Boba shops, it also has a variety of good flavors. I tried the Matcha Latte with extra boba and it was really good. I'm definitely trying more flavors in the future.
