50 Best Bubble Tea near Des Moines

“Excellent banh mi, hot ginger lemon tea, and boba tea choices. 5 stars!“

“We really like this place because they make the tea that we want. Honey Jasmine tea, les sugar, less ice, tapioca pearls.
This is what we go for every time. We come in every once in a while. We might get a drink with a lemonade base.“

“3 main things people look for: 1. Customer service: I was greeted with a very warm welcome from the owner. I was also taught a few things & given great advice on tea! 2. Product: Fresh tea!!!! Weighted tea is not only the most beneficial form of tea, but the overall freshness of the outsourced tea speaks for itself. 3. Cleanliness & Ambiance: Very clean & organized. The atmosphere is very purposeful. Makes you want to do a tea tasting to fully immerse yourself in the experience being there. No other tea room has customer service & products as need based as Serenity Moon Tea. You can't call yourself a tea person if this is not a regular destination when you're in the area.“

“Fun atmosphere with awesome variety drinks . What’s a spot to hangout with my besties“

“My favorite drink place in all of Tukwila! Love coming here for their sugar cane drinks. So refreshing :)“

“Delicious fresh milk bobas, i definitely recommend any of the brown sugar drinks! Not too sweet, great presentation and just enough ice!“

“flavorful bubble tea and lots of delicious Vietnamese food options!“

“Creative, fresh, addictive and very cool hipster vibe. My favorite was the horchata boba. Can’t wait to come back and try all of the other flavors. They all look so pretty. Also saw that they have cool board games and places to chill. Will have to take my date here. #drinkboga. 🧋“

“Sunright Tea Studio is hands-down the best boba spot in the U-District, consistently outclassing the neighborhood competition with its quality and precision. Their Ceylon Milk Tea is a standout for anyone who appreciates a bold, full-bodied tea flavor that isn't masked by excess sugar; it’s fragrant, smooth, and perfectly balanced against the creaminess of the milk.“

“OMG, my husband and I stopped in cause we were actually going to Dick’s sporting goods a few other stores around the area, so we see this tea place (mind you I love tea) and my husband says “hey let’s try this” so initially I said no you go ahead and get your drink, I’m okay. So we’re waiting in line and the lady at the register asks if we want to try their tea of the day so of course I try it and it was so good I ended up getting one lol, my husband got his and was super happy. I think this is the best we’ve tried by far!“

“The best tea shop in Kent by far. My wife, her sibling and I went in on a whim and were absolutely delighted by how good the drinks were and the friendly staff who clearly enjoyed what they were making. The Taro milk tea with lychee bubbles in particular was a standout. Support them if you haven't already!“

“First time visitor.
I saw that the reviews for this place were great. Which led me to stop here for lunch. Tried the beef sandwich w/ egg & jalapeños. To drink, I went w/ The Honey lemon Thai tea🔥. Bruhhh This Slapps! Lunch Was excellent! For something simple! Price was Market Value. Great service!“

“Started coming here for lunch over a year ago. Their Bahn Mi's are my favorite, I highly recommend any of them. They also give you the option to add jalapeños or not. The sandwich is nice and toasted and the veggies are fresh. The Bahn mi prices are as of this date, the most affordable Bahn mi in this area. The service of the staff is great as well, they're are kind and efficient. The space inside is a little small, but they have countertop seating. Highly recommend trying it out!“

“Bought Glow Tea again this year. And it was the best bubble tea at the fair!
The tapioca pearls were perfect and chewy, the lychee was tasty, the passion fruit tea was perfectly sweet and even had the seeds!!!
They had a self order kiosk section that was super convenient and when you did interact with witht the employees it was short and sweet.
And they turned on the lights when they handed it out to make sure people saw the glow!!
They also had Boa Box and I'm so excited to order both again next year!
Please come to the fair every year from now on! Best drink and food we had at the fair and definitely telling anyone to go there (also cute inflatable)

2 years ago review---Bought the Passion fruit Glow tea at the Puyallup State Fair and was extremely disappointed.
The price of the smallest size option was nearly $20
It wasn't filled all the way, had no sugar at all, I did order both the boba and lychee toppings and didn't say if they were extra or not and it was still bitter.
Customer service wasn't rude but they definitely weren't happy to be there.
It's been a week now, and I did take home the cute little lightbulb they give you.

I figured that's why the name Glow tea, no in fact a week after the fair we realized there is a little switch on the bottom to turn on the lights and make it glow pretty colors, it's really bright too! Super cool, it would have been awesome to use it too had we known.

The novelty of it was cool, but I don't plan to buy again when it didn't take good at all.“

“I used to not go to happy lemon because I wasn't fond of the drinks, I went to the location in Bellevue I believe. But when I moved to this area , I thought to try it out again, I got the regular milk tea with pudding and taro balls. Really Good! They also had a strawberry cheesecake drink (something along those lines), super good! The inside of this location is really cute too! Happy Lemon went from one I never go to, to one I'd happily go to! Def come try their drinks.“

“Tea Tea at Southport Renton is amazing! The drinks are always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet, which I really appreciate. The menu has a great variety, so there’s something for everyone, whether you like milk tea, fruit tea, or boba. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, and service is quick even when it’s busy. The shop itself is clean and has a nice, relaxing vibe—perfect for hanging out or grabbing a drink after walking around Southport. Definitely one of the best boba spots in Renton. Highly recommend!“

“Love this place so much. The staff is very very friendly. Made so many memories in this place. Happy and sad ones. The food is amazing, though I wish there would be more new drinks. Since I tried every single one. And they should add more food items, not just the waffle. This place is also very clean! Also the staff has good music taste :3 Recommended drink from me? Mango smoothie with mango crystal Boba. 🤍🤍“

“Nice place…………………………………..“

“Got the Blue Lagoon and Strawberry Seduction. I’m so picky with drinks, but these were so refreshing and aesthetically pleasing. Also, I’m not even exaggerating when I say it took under 60 seconds for them to make our drinks. I’m so jealous; I wish I could scoop this boba shop up and put it in my neighborhood. Also the girl with tattoos (didn’t catch her name) taking our order was so sweet! This place was clean and just good vibes.“

“The orange dreamsicle is delightful.“

“Incredible drinks, incredible people, and well priced. Every location feels like home!!!“

“Best place for boba. I try to get something different every time. Have not been disappointed. The right consistency of chewiness and softness on the boba. My favorite so far is the "Strawberry and Cream Smoothie"“

“To be honest I was hoping they would have black bean noodle but ilthey did not so instead I got a bowl of beef noodle soup. It was quite good, I usually get it from Mama Dough and I definitely noticed a big difference. This has more intense flavor (hot and spicy with a richer broth) and more meat as well as noodles. I've taken home their braised duck wings before and loved it. I've been craving more Taiwanese style food and will be putting this into rotation.“

“Yummy chicken popcorn and boba 🧋 drinks are good!!“

“They make yummy doughnuts and have friendly/helpful staff!“

“So much better than Starbucks! Love that I can get a taste of unique, excellent local coffee at the airport instead of a big chain. Their specialty lattes are all amazing. The Ube Latte, Black Sesame, Mint Mojito and Coconut matcha are ones I tried as a latte flight (iced) at their brick and mortar before and I loved all of them. Just had an Ube Latte (hot) again at the airport location an it hit the spot. Perfect balance of sweetness and espresso. I also got the breakfast sandwich and could tell it was homemade. They even offer mobile ordering so you can order for pickup ahead of time. Highly recommend if you’re flying out of SeaTac and want to try something authentic.“

“This is our favorite place for popping Boba smoothies. Everyone is always nice. The other place upstairs in the mall charges the same price for smaller smoothies. I got the black tea with strawberry popping Boba and it wasn't good. But the smoothies are great!“

“I had a great experience at Happy Lemon! The drinks were super fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was craving. Their signature lemon drinks have the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, and the boba is always soft and chewy. The staff was friendly, patient, and quick even during the busy rush. The store was clean, bright, and had a fun, welcoming vibe.

If you love good-quality boba or want something refreshing, I definitely recommend stopping by Happy Lemon. I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“This was the perfect stop after picking up my folks from the airport. It was a chilly day and pho sounded good. Their broth was clean and good, not too salty or oily. Noodles were cooked well, not overdone and mushy. They have a fresh veggie bar that you could pick your veggies to go into your pho. This was a huge plus for me. The place was clean, well lit, and service was great, with staff being kind and friendly.“

“Amazing sandwiches we always get the chicken and beef, sorry I forgot names. Flavor and presentation always on point and then we were offered these delicious boba and rainbow jelly drinks. I will go back everytime and when friends come from out of state this will be out first spot. If you’re on a budget and want to eat good and healthy this is the spot! Thank you to the staff for your generosity❤️“

“I got the ube matcha boba with the swirl soft serve and the combo is soo tasty. My new favorite spot to go seriously. My cousin got a mango peach soft serve and it was ALSO SO YUMMY. It’s very creamy and smooth. My other cousin got a matcha swirl and that was nice as well but I enjoyed the more intricate flavors more. Overall I can’t wait to go again. So unique and worth the trip. They also sell doggie treats on the side and mug plus pens. All very cute and come support this beautiful business. 🤩🤩“

“Great banh mi place with a good drinks selection. I've been here before and gotten several of their sandwiches but prefer their BBQ pork one! Their Vietnamese iced coffee is strong and I loved it.“

“Stopped by here today! The bahn mi’s are amazing! My mom and I loved it and its something nice and tasty to get. They even have a drive thru which is awesome. Their cold cuts are amazingly fresh and the bread is soft but not too hard and perfectly crispy. 10/10 would come again“

“love getting my taro milk tea every friday 😋 had a gift card and unfortunately i wasn’t able to use it due to something called new ownership
don’t think some people have common sense about that
anyways they were able to comp my drink that one time“

“The strawberry and cream cheese croffle is amazing. You can’t go wrong with either the strawberry or Oreo bingsu either. Every single macaroon is amazing and is double the filling of a regular macaroon. The flavors are fun and they all look too cute or pretty to eat. All of the signature drinks are to die for and the teas are spot on delicious!“

“This place is amazing! Had such a good banh mi here and a lychee jasmine tea! Both were delicious! The grilled pork banh mi was only $6.50 ish and had such fresh ingredients and flavor! The tea was also perfect, not too sweet or too bitter. Also the girl at the counter was really nice and friendly, great customer service. I will definitely come back!“

“Very good food and service, egg rolls were hot and delicious, cheese wontons also excellent, mongolian beef and vegetable fried rice were off the chain!!! Everything was piping hot and a great price too!!! Highly recommended we’ll be back“

“I am surprised to read all the previous reviews. However, they are from years ago. I’ve been coming to get Bobba tea several times already . All the tea have been AMAZINGLY delicious and with great service. Maybe they have hired better employees.“

“Sharetea Tukwila never disappoints! The drinks are always on point — refreshing, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness. The staff here are genuinely kind and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. The cozy vibes and clean space make it a perfect spot to chill, study, or hang out with friends. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re missing out! Treat yourself today — you deserve it!
Highly recommend their classic milk tea with boba!
10/10 experience every time!
**✨🧋Come by and try it out!🧋✨“

“The brown sugar milk tea special was fantastic. I got the tapioca pearls in it and they were definitely fresh - they were the best tapioca I have ever had. The drink was made to order and tasted amazing. The staff were friendly and were fast with orders. Will go back next time I am at the mall again.“

“Nice place…………………………………..“

“Avocado Smoothie!☆♡☆ Passion fruit smoothie!“

“Amazing food, fantastic customer service ! highly recommend“

“Had the absolute best drinks there! Beyond thankful for the recommendation I received that brought me here. The employees were pretty slammed with orders but were so kind and worked quickly and efficiently to get us our order. Now more than ever, I understand patience is key and honestly so much more necessary than most believe. I comment the team at Mia and More for filling our cravings. Would absolutely visit again and have already recommended to others.“

“Always clean always good!“

“Smells and tastes amazing“

“I just discovered this Vietnamese restaurant in Auburn, Washington. It serves some of the best pho (noodles) around. I like the noodle texture, it’s perfectly cooked, and the broth is so flavorful. There’s a good balance of meat as well. We had two large bowls, and it was $14.95 per bowl. A decent portion for the price.

I would have given this place a five-star review, but for the following reasons.

1). When we went inside the restaurant, no one greeted us. I had to wave to the people in the back, and the grandma showed up. My wife and I were sitting at a dining table with a bench that seats up to four people. She brought us a menu and told us to sit at a smaller table with two chairs. The whole restaurant was vacant. There were no customers beside us, so we were a little puzzled by that.

2). After dropping off the menu, she never came back. I noticed six different customers come in and place an order with her at the counter. I was wondering about it and decided to take the menu to her and ask if I needed to order from her at the counter. That’s when she said, “yes, you order here.” So I placed my order with her, paid for it, and tipped her at the counter as well. I wish she had told me about it when she dropped off the menu. Maybe she told us in Vietnamese, but we didn’t understand it.

3). The restaurant is a bit crowded with plants, and they have the heat up pretty high to keep the plants alive. It was not while trying to enjoy a hot bowl of noodles.

I like the noodles. But about 45 minutes after we left, my wife threw up. Not sure what it was. I just noticed the noodles were a bit oily, that’s about it. Could be the fat ring in the bowl of soup.“

“It was my first time there but it was pretty close to a halo halo but I wish there was more shaved ice and scoops of ube ice cream then the jellies. However it was still pretty good. The lady that helped me was very nice and you can substitute an ingredient with something else, which was nice of her to give me that option.“
