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.“

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

“I ordered there taro boba green tea. It is PREMIUM!!! It was a real special find. HIGHEST QUALITY -not ARTIFICIAL or low grade tea blend. I found this spot by 'accident' and have been back 4 times in the past week. I think this place needs to be in a more prominent location!“

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

“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.“

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

“Amazing bubble tea and excellent customer service! The drinks are fresh, delicious, and made perfectly every time. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves bubble tea. I will definitely come back again!“

“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. 🧋“

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

“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!“

“Nice quaint restaurant.

Ordered braised beef noodle soup and got it super fresh and hot. Noodles were perfect, the beef was tender, flavorful and thick.

There were some vegetables in there too, the broth was delicious and the portion was great for the price.

The lady gave me a bonus milk tea which was also good and not too sweet.

Overall it was an authentic dish and I will definitely try the other dishes next time.“

“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.“

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

“Banh mi was great not what i ordered but still good, got a lychee slush i could tell it was not the real deal. Not bad but not great. Banh mi for sure legit. Maybe their other drink would be better. Will try again next time. No rr for customer a cute tiny hole in the wall. Good vibe and energy.“

“I do not yet have experience with their food, but I was on a long walk and the 7 Eleven doesn’t have filtered water so I stopped in here. Even though I was not a paying customer, they gladly refilled my ice and water while giving me with the respect and attention of a paying customer. This was 30 minutes before closing. You all definitely have earned my patronage in the future. The employees clearly enjoy working there and exceptional interactions like this point toward a quality business.“

“My favorite pho spot so far. I love that there are vegetables in the soup base in addition to the veggies you can add on your own. Staff is friendly. I would try the steak pho either Korean noodles or glass noodles, both are good. I love extra bean sprouts, jalapeños,and spicy chilli sauce! Expect to pay $15-20 per person“

“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.“

“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. 🤍🤍“

“Such an amazing place with very kind workers!

It's the only soft serve boba I've seen around and the drinks are amazing, never knew ice cream mixed in with boba teas would be this good.

Unique and tasty drinks, welcoming staff, chill hang out spot, what more can you ask for.

Definitely recommend this place to everyone.“

“Nice place…………………………………..“

“Excellent Vietnamese coffee, cà phê sữa đá!! And the woman working there was super nice and helpful in explaining the different types of coffee offered since it was my first time. The boba is mini pearls, nice touch! I’ll definitely be back again!“

“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"“

“Sign needs to be updated, the sign on the business is old and outdated. Could be modernized with bright LEDs to attract more customers. The business is hard to see from the street as it looks like a small house. More advertising out front would attract more customers. Otherwise than that the food is bomb and the drinks are out of this world“

“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!“

“You guys love Falooda? This place is my go to for Falooda drinks! And many more !
Especially the kulfi the taste is one of a kind irresistible and so good you just want to come back for more!
This is my favorite spot for 3 years! The price is good! And affordable!
Kulfi is also popular it runs out get yours before it does! Little cut called boba smoothies near the entrance/exit (park on jollibee side )
Nearest to the delicious corner.
They have many ice cream and smoothies, even Taro! Ice cream and drink!!! Soo good!!!!!!!!“

“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!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amazing Black Sesame Iced Latte! Smooth, creamy, and full of unique roasted sesame flavor. Not too sweet and perfect for a morning pick-me-up before a flight. One of the best specialty coffee drinks I’ve had at an airport. Highly recommend! ☕️🔥“

“New favorite lunch spot for Banh Mi! The pricing is incredibly reasonable and the portions are generous! Flavors are amazing I got the roasted duck banh mi (added egg) and guava jasmine tea with aloe vera, total came out to be just over $16! Safe to say I will be coming back for a quick lunch! Big parking lot in the back. Not too much dine in space.“

“I've been to almost every pho place in kent and renton and this might be one of my favorites already. The server was nice and let me sub chicken instead of shrimp in the spring rolls, which were way more affordable than some places! An appetizer should be exactly the price of these appetizers, I'm pleasantly surprised at the prices here. I truly hope they don't go up anytime soon. The chicken pho was also delicious (i asked for grilled chicken). Overall a pleasant restaurant, and I will be back for sure! I will say one small critique, is there was no music playing.“

“Boba Lust is our go-to spot! My daughter and I love coming here to try out different flavors, and everything is always delicious. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff is incredibly friendly and kind every time we visit. It’s the perfect place for a treat. Highly recommended!“

“The orange dreamsicle is delightful.“

“So far everything ive tried on this menu is really good, not too sweet either. love coming here during my breaks at work but i always catch them when its super busy and its a really long line😭 their service is super quick tho and its worth the wait each time and its cheaper than alot of boba places“

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

“Always clean always good!“

“Amazing food, fantastic customer service ! highly recommend“

“Nice place…………………………………..“

“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.“

“The owners are stand-up human beings. My loved one was homeless in the Auburn area one winter, and they consistently treated him with kindness and genuine concern. I have never forgotten their compassion. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant.“

“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“

“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.“

“Fun matchas and coffees. We went in for breakfast. Not your traditional breakfast house. They bring you coffee and take your order at the table. You order at the counter and then find a seat and they'll bring the food to your table, but then you never see them again. The girl that took our order was okay. She charged me for a second Americano and insisted that I ordered it which I know I didn't. I was prepared to give them a bad review, but the young man behind the counter making drinks, bringing our food and asking us how everything was saved the day. I should have got his name; he was amazing. All his coffees and matchas looked great. The bacon is thick like what we call chicharrones. I didn't want rice with my breakfast so they switched out to potatoes. Food was good coffee was good. We will go back but the person taking the order needs to have better customer service. Don't argue with a customer and just give him a credit if they don't want the extra coffee.“

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

“Bambu Desserts & Drinks absolutely delivered on the dessert drinks. The chè was refreshing, creamy, and packed with texture. I loved the mix of jellies, beans, fruit, coconut, and shaved ice — every sip tasted layered and fun. The ube ice cream on top was a standout and made the whole dessert feel extra indulgent.

Perfect spot if you’re craving something sweet, cold, and different from the usual boba run. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that I wished the flavors were just a little richer overall, but I’d still come back again. Great treat to share with friends on a warm day.“

“I’ve been coming to Sharetea Plus Tukwila regularly, and it’s one of my favorite bubble tea spots.

My go-to drink here is the green milk tea with lychee jelly. It has a light tea flavor, not too sweet, and the lychee jelly is really good—chewy and refreshing. I honestly get at least one drink every week!

The shop is clean and decorated in a cute, simple way. I usually don’t stay long though—I prefer grabbing my drink to go because it’s quick and convenient.

The staff are efficient, and ordering is easy. It’s a great spot if you want a quick, good-quality bubble tea.

Highly recommend if you enjoy lighter, refreshing milk tea!“

“Mochi donuts are delish! My favorite is the nutella almond, and any of the falvors that have oreo with it! Although today, they weren't as chewy. I always look forward to stopping by when im here at the mall!! Staff interaction is very limited, they could atleast smile and be pleasant. Its not only this location that I've had that experience.“

“Smells and tastes amazing“
