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“

“Great service. Good drinks 🙌🏽“

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

“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. 🧋“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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. 🤍🤍“

“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.“

“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…………………………………..“

“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"“

“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!“

“My favorite place to grab a banh mi! I always get the shredded chicken, and it never disappoints. The sandwiches are always fresh, warm, and packed with flavor. Pickup is also super easy with the drive-thru, which makes it even more convenient. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I’m craving a good banh mi!“

“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“

“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.“

“The service here is very good, probably one of the best that I've had at a Vietnamese restaurant as our server was humorous. The biggest issue that I had is they won't stop by after dropping off your food, as my boyfriend's water was never refilled despite being empty halfway through the meal. The restaurant wasn't really busy and it was the case for other tables too. You also have to go pay at the front, they don't drop off the check. The food was pretty good, the bun bo hue lacked any sort of spiciness that I am used to and no pork knuckle. The fresh bean curd with shrimp was delightful especially as it was my first time having it. My boyfriend's pho broth was flavorful.

The restaurant is very cute. You can tell the decor was thought out and they have plenty of seating and tables for all sorts of party sizes. The bathroom could use more check ins as there were no more paper towels.“

“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.“

“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. 🥲“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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!!!!!!!!“

“Always clean always good!“

“Amazing food, fantastic customer service ! highly recommend“

“Nice place…………………………………..“

“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“

“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 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.“

“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. 👍🏼“

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

“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“
