25 Best Bubble Tea near Glen Allen

“I'm a regular at BAMBU, having frequented their locations in Houston and New Orleans, so I'm familiar with their menu and have tried it before. The Richmond branch maintains the same offerings but adds a Virginia twist. It offers a serene and inviting atmosphere, perfect for work, study, or relaxed conversations. The servers were friendly and accommodating, patiently assisting us with our orders. At BAMBU, Vietnamese desserts take center stage. Opting for the Fruit Addicts, I enjoyed a delightful combination of coconut milk, jelly, and various exotic fruits. While this was a fantastic choice, their other menu items are equally appealing.“

“The name stands for “bread, coffee & tea.” It’s best to go during the daytime because in the evening they run out of a lot of things. I like that you can choose your own pastries with tongs; there’s a great variety. They have excellent milk tea too— not the powder stuff but the real deal from what I can tell.“

“I’ve tried lots of bubble tea and milk tea and matcha milk shakes around Richmond area, this place has it’s own Zen vibe! I loved the shake, and there boba is different from the others, less sugar and more fluffy! Also, there ice cream ( shaved ice) is really a unique experience! #OMARating: 8/10!“

“The food is amazing and the boba is great too. Honestly I go for the amazing street food, it’s fresh and the sauces are so yummy. Their service is beyond exceptional. My boyfriend lost his AirPods there and didn’t realize until after closing. We gave them a call and they told us that we could drop by for him to grab them, even after the store was closed, which was beyond kind. The management and staff are so hard working and genuine which makes me eager to support their business. We highly recommend!“

“Visiting family brought me to this adorable place. It felt so welcoming the second I walked in. Everyone working there was super friendly, and the food? Absolutely perfect! I'd definitely recommend it to anyone - it's a solid 10/10 from me!“

“Quick, friendly, on point! Always clean, well lit, and inviting! I love stopping by my favorite boba joint and seeing these lovely folks. And when the weather's nice, the patio is a rather nice spot to sit!Wheelchair accessibility: It has a ramp to get up. I got my chair up there decently well“

“The crab rangoon was delicious and the dipping sauce was better than sweet and sour... Maybe a sweet chili sauce? I ordered through door dash and ended up not getting my wings but when I called the store they were so sweet and ready to make it right. I did ended up getting my wings and they threw in some extras for the inconvenience. The wings were good but don't think bonchon. I would say these were like regular chicken wings with a light sauce on them. The spicy is quite mild (my husband actually added hot sauce to his) so I recommend it over the soy garlic. Wendy's spicy chicken nuggs are spicier just for some comparison. They may have been crispier had I eaten them fresh but they didn't have the signature crisp I have come to know and love from Korean fried chicken. I also got the mango snow cap drink and it was delightful! The milk foam was mixed all throughout the drink which contrasted nicely with the mango. Check them out and let me know what you think!“

“Stopped in after the Irish Festival. Got a mango smoothie with boba, and my husband got a mocha smoothie with boba. It was so good as always. I have been going here for years and wish I lived closer. My husband and I both agree that the sound of the straw pulling in the last drops of our smoothie is the saddest sound ever. It means it's all gone. ?Parking: Park on the street for free or park in Kroger across the street and walk over.“

“Husband is very kind and relatable. Not sure why the wife always seems terse, maybe she does all the work Haha really cute place though, table games and couches, good spot to hang out.Updating review, but nothing is new, still the same beloved lounge, and I'm glad I get to turn new people on to them whenever I'm in town“

“Loved the Taro Milk Tea! Do you have those little treats that are sure fire pick -me-ups? Milk tea or boba do the trick for me- king Fu tea's taro tea was sweet, creamy and not too strong. Plus- who doesn't love marketing that reminds you to be fearless? Excited to try more flavors.“

“I LOVE IT HERE!! Every chance I get, I order an Oreo flavored brown sugar bubble tea, and it's so Delicious and Addictive!!!! Excellent service and atmosphere when I visit. I haven't tried the bread and pastries yet but heard they were amazing! Thx Brecotea for the experience!!“

“Usually I have to drive out another 30 minutes from where I already am in Richmond to get good Vietnamese food. Pho 1 Grill is not only accessible, but also delicious. I am Southeast Asian and very picky when it comes to pho, but I loved it here. I also had the banh xeo and salted creme coffee which were delicious. The staff are all very considerate, and the owner was great as well. There is something on the menu for everyone, but in my opinion the traditional Vietnamese dishes like the pho, banh mi, and broken rice/vermicelli dishes are where this restaurant really shines.“

“Ventured to Tsaocaa with my cousins for a delightful boba tea experience, and let me share the highlights. The spacious parking lot welcomed us, although there's no drive-thru option. Inside, the ambiance is charming and offers ample space for relaxation or work. Their efficient ordering machines ensured our drinks were swiftly prepared. Opting for the Melon Milk tea with Yogurt Boba was a stellar choice. Its creamy texture and refreshing flavor, complemented by melon bits, were truly satisfying. The Yogurt boba, a unique touch, added a delightful burst of flavor that intrigued my taste buds, although my cousin wasn't as keen. Their fruity option, while not overly sweet, was equally enjoyable. Overall, Tsaocaa earns a recommendation as a fantastic boba destination.“

“Shop is cozy and tranquil.The customer service people were awesome and even reminded us of the cards you can get whenever you get boba. Get 9, get the 10th one free!I got the watermelon dragon blast with popping boba, it was absolutely amazing ❤️“

“I got the lychee on lychee tea with Boba. The tea was brewed fresh. Even at 100sweetness you could still taste the tea flavor. Boba was chewy and sweet. Pretty good boba located in the short pump mall. It was about $7 for the drink. I would get another drink again when I shop around the area. Drunk: 7.5 Staff/service: n/a Overall: 7.5/10“

“This place is next door to Alohahola. Some of the workers here work over there as well. Not sure if both businesses are owned by the same entity. I had the shoyu chicken ramen and soy garlic wings. The soy garlic wings were great and remind me of Tamara Ramen wings however the portion size, price and value at Domoishi is a better deal in my opinion. I will be going here for now on for those type of wings. The ramen was ok. It had corn and looked to be some type of bean mixed in. The chicken was grilled however I prefer the Shoyu ramen at Taka Ramen which is more tasty and traditional. Still a good value at Domoshi though.“

“OH! MY! GOODNESS!!! We just happened to find this little slice of Pho deliciousness and SO GLAD we decided to have dinner. Each item we ordered had ALL THE FLAVORS! We had a pho dish and a rice fish, fried wontons and boba teas. THE SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT as well! Our dinner filled our bellies and warmed our souls. THANK YOU“

“One of the best banh mis I have ever had. I tried the number 1 (combination cold cut). The bread was crisp, the veggies had the right amount of pickling, and there was the perfect amount of spice to it. Extremely affordable as well. We also got the shrimp chips, which are always good. This will definitely be my new go-to.“

“this is the cutest little place ever they have snacks, can drinks, plushies as well as boba.Service was fast. Like I walked in, placed my order, and before I could put my card away my drink was ready. A few people walked in after me so I guess I got there before the rush? lol. but the two employees ( that I saw ) were very kind.I didn’t get anything too fancy, just a strawberry milk tea with honey boba. I didn’t ask for it to be sweeter/ less sweet. However it comes it perfect. I’ll be going again soon so I can fill out my free drink card ?“

“The food AAAALMOST reminded me of home. I wished the mac salad was more tender and creamier. I didn’t enjoy that the loco moco was served without brown gravy and without the patty and egg over the rice instead of beside it lol. Otherwise, it was dsope!! Would y’all be able to get Li hing mui syrup for the shave ice?“

“Delicious find! We could smell the broth from outside and came in to check it out. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We shared a spring roll appetizer and the peanut sauce was very tasty and flavorful. We had a number 3 pho with meatballs and number 12 pho with rare steak and brisket. For drinks, we orderes the mango green tea and pineapple green tea; the pineapple had crushed pineapple in it. We would highly recommend checking this place out!“

“Can't say enough wonderful things about this place! Found this shop during a 3 day stay in Richmond and I'm so glad I did. The milk tea, takoyaki, and onigiri were all excellent, and the staff was so friendly! Wish I lived closer, but I'll definitely come back the next time I'm in town.“

“I've been meaning to try this place for a while, and I was absolutely not disappointed. Upon entry, I was stunned by how freaking cute everything was. The walls, the seat cushions, the decor- everything was such a lovely vibe it made me really happy just being in the store. Even their bathrooms are tasteful in design. They also have a photo booth with props and to-go drinks/snacks/meals available for purchase outside of the food they make in store.The receptionist was so sweet and helped me pick out some stuff when I was overwhelmed by the options (always a good thing to have lots of options in my opinion). I ended up getting the okinawa brown sugar boba (lower sweetness level), garlic salmon onigiri, and duck egg musubi.The boba was so soft and squishy (which means it is fresh) and the tea itself was the perfect level of sweetness for me. I absolutely love how we are given the option to have our meals warmed up, and I chose to heat up both. The rice was so fluffy and soft and the filling in the ongiri was flavorful and delicious. The musubi was great as well and the duck egg was different from conventional chicken eggs, but the depth of flavor compliments the rice well. My one recommendation is that they have a bottle of hot sauce for customers to use when in the store.I ended up spending 21 dollars on my meal (plus a few extra dollars for tip). In this economy, it is the norm for food like this to be a little pricey so I'm not complaining as long as the quality and service stay at a high level. Plus the fact that they are using sustainable and ecofriendly cups, utensils, and straws makes the cost more than worth it.All in all, I 100% will be returning here way more than my wallet will want me to, and bringing all my friends and family with me.“

“It’s good for if you know what you want and how you want it but it might be confusing for if you’re trying boba for the first time and have no idea what to choose. I had to go there a couple of times to find what I was comfortable with after a while the atmosphere could be better and the service wasn’t memorable not in a bad way though“

“Ordered the Chicken Hibachi, Peppered Tuna Roll, Salmon Avacado Roll, a Thai tea, and a soft drink for $32. The rolls had huge pieces of fish, the hibachi was fantastic, and the Thai tea was super tasty. I'm glad there was two of us because the portions were big for the price! We will be back!!“
