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.“

“A step into the cafe, the atmosphere was just like a trip to Taiwan. After we order and chat , we were invited for free tea tasting. Dylan presented tea ceremony to group of us to make 5 different teas and let us taste each. It was fun and good entertainent. Location is better than one at Bellevue per parking situation. Highly recommend“

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

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

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

“Great service. Good drinks 🙌🏽“

“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. 🧋“

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

“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!“

“Always a pleasure visiting this location. From friendly greetings to relaxing ambiance and drinks to perfection - it’s def’ an easy go-to and fave on-the-go quick stop for drinks and awesome giftable things! Bonus is their sister shop Southport Market!“

“The atmosphere at this bubble tea shop was amazing! Supporting my fellow Chinese friends (LOL)!“

“First time trying a Kung Fu Tea, while I was waiting for a prescription to be filled across the road. I ordered a Mala Chicken sandwich with side of coleslaw, a jasmine tea with brown sugar Boba and a Dubai chocolate strawberry. My tea was very good and the fried chicken. I've never tried Mala flavor before and thought it was just alright. I usually like spicy sandwiches but this wasn't for me. Also, this was my first Dubai chocolate dessert. I thought it would have some pistachio flavor but it just tasted like strawberries with chocolate and little crispy things. Overall I still ate everything I got and would try this place again. I would just order some other items to try.“

“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.“

“An awesome little gem of a restaurant in downtown Auburn. I got the grilled pork Banh Mi and it was awesome. The bread was crisp and fresh and the ingredients were all delicious. Had a bit of a kick so I'd watch out if you can't handle spice, but otherwise great shop. I will be back.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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. 🤍🤍“

“Nice place…………………………………..“

“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"“

“Great little hole in the wall discovery! Really good Vietnamese coffee will get you going anytime of the day. Huge selection of banh mi sandwiches only eight bucks and they're fantastic tasting and freshly made. Also offer some wonderful fruity flavors of boba tea. Very reasonable prices, stop in for lunch or a snack.“

“We found this gem in a strip mall. Excellent food!!! We arrived for lunch and Grace was kind enough to explain the menu and show us sizes of the pho. We had the shrimp pho, Grace showed me where to get the accompanying garnishes for the soup, everything was so fresh! Food was brought to us and Grace bussed the table. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and would 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.“

“Located behind the Pantherlake Library, this place has been in business for many years.

Solid pho with a light yet flavorful broth. I love the meat options and quantity in the combo pho, my favorite being the meatball. The portion of broth and noodle is rather small for $15. I recommend the Large size if you are hungry.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Christine, the barista is suuuuuuuuper nice and super friendly!!!! We had a bad experience on a Starbucks cashier in the airport but then we went here instead, and christine definitely made our day! Good drinks, good food and good customer service. Totally recomment and would definitely come back! It’s by D gates on seatac airport“

“PLEASE open one hour earlier...🙏 We've skipped bubble tea here three times so far (that's six drinks between two people) because every time we finished our errands on the weekend and started to head home for lunch, it was 11:20am or 11:30am 😭. We waited half an hour for them to open one time but the other times just gave up and went to Happy Lemon. 12pm is just too late, not sure if anyone else agree. We really like their authentic tea flavors.. but it hasn't been easy to stop by because of the later opening hour. 🥲“

“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!!!“

“Amazing food, fantastic customer service ! highly recommend“

“The orange dreamsicle is delightful.“

“Always clean always good!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Nice place…………………………………..“

“The first time ever that i enjoyed an authentic pho without the need of adding any sauce to it, the family very hospitable and friendly, very helpful answering my questions regarding the food choices and the salted cream coffee was absolutely delicious.
I would give this place all the stars ⭐️ I highly recommend to anyone visiting Washington state.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Silog all day? Yes please! 🥰 I had a late breakfast and this is my late lunch which really hit the spot. I wanted filipino food and a casual dining chill vibes. This was perfect! I also tried the black sesame latte, which was very nice! Not too sweet. 👍🏼“

“We were walking around the mall and I thought about getting a Mochi donuts or a rice dog but after getting in line decided I wasn't really all that hungry so we got smoothies because it was hot. We got the mango smoothie and the coconut mango smoothie. They are good what you would want from a blended smoothie at a boba place. Would I say that it wad the best I have ever had, no. But it definitely hit the right spot that I was hoping it would. It wasn't overly sweet, I do wish there was more mango in the coconut mango one that was mostly blended (what I assume) cocunut milk). We have had mochinut before and I like the donuts, but we didn't get food this time. I will have to do another review next time we get food“

“Smells and tastes amazing“
