We were craving some boba and stumbled on this corner spot. We ordered 2 of the top 10 on their menu. They had a bunch of selection and deserts. Unfortunately they didn’t have a chicken sandwich options and they could accommodate the no pork sandwich. They have some cool games on the table, it’s more like a hang out place for afternoon kids. Overall it was ok. Probably go back to try a different drink

We loved this place. Ordered ahead online and it was ready on time. We tried the star boba milk tea and the brown sugar milk tea. The star one had both the dark and light tapioca pearls. The brown sugar is well...brown sugar! I'm a big fan of brown sugar myself and the boba was chewy and deliciously sweet.Side note, we ordered two drinks so it was given to us in a bag, which happens to have a divider in the middle so the drinks stay separate. That's awesome on its own.We didn't stick around, but it was spacious inside with some games on the table in the middle. Looks like a fun place to hang out.I love how they branded everything with stars, true to their name. ⭐

Such amazing boba and the nicest workers! They made my drink quickly and it look beautiful. Definitely recommend coming here! The strawberry coconut smoothie with peach popping boba is such a perfect combo!!

I got the Thai milk tea with boba. I’m not a boba connoisseur but I have no complaints. Good flavor and boba texture. It does seem a bit pricy for a drink but I suppose they are specialty drinks. $6.25 for Thai Milk Tea and 75 cents extra for boba.The big appeal for me is that It is a nice warm place with several comfortable places to sit and do homework, and is open late until 9pm. It has windows all around and ample lighting so it feels bright and open, not cramped and dark. There is also some games on a bigger table that I often see kids/ families sit at and play games.My biggest complaint is that when you walk in, it smells kind of weird. I’ve been here a few times and I’m always hit with the smell. That’s why I took a star off for atmosphere. I’m not sure what I’m smelling but it’s off putting for the first couple minutes. Eventually I got used to it but at first I just wanted to walk back out the door.

As a frequent boba tea drinker, I’m glad Starboba is near my workplace for the occasional quick fix. The place is light and bright, with contemporary decor and several screens featuring coffee, tea and milk drinks, as well as smoothies, frappuccinos, sandwiches, spring rolls and macarons. There is adequate seating so you can grab a quick bite and drink here, which is very convenient for me.Parking: In James Center Plaza with plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: On first floor and no obstacles for wheelchairs

Best boba pearls around. They have a good texture and are mixed with some brown sugar to provide extra tastiness. I've enjoyed almost every drink I've tried (the one I didn't like was made well, just simply wasn't for me). I think that this would have been a place I'd hang out at a lot with friends if they had been open back when I was a teenager!

I ordered milk tea with no ice. Milk tea was ok. But, There was a $2 additional charges for a no ice milk tea. . Total $10 for 1 cup of no-ice milk tea. I don't think I will ever come back with this kinda charges.

Cute with good drinks. Had a very strong smell that was off-putting.

They are SLOW. Surely won't have your order ready if you call ahead. Their Vietnamese coffee is for shame. Also they only got an "okay" on their health code report so...
