    1. Bambu Special

    Drinks are delicious ! The service is always great with not much of a wait depending on how busy it gets but they have an area with couches and games. Would def be back to try the other drinks.

    Pandan Waffle, Macarons, 10. Bambu Favorite, 5. Smashed Avocado
    Linda Q.

    I've been wanting to try BamBū since I passed by their chain in Atlantic City a few weekends ago. Was busy and didn't get the chance to try before leaving but glad I was able to find one locally here. I ordered the BamBū favorite and my friend got the smashed avocado dessert drink. Seeing the amount of toppings inside I was afraid that BamBū favorite might be too overwhelming but to my surprise, it wasn't too sweet and all the fun textures inside kept making me go back for more. My friends smashed avocado drink was very fresh, unlike any avocado smoothie variation I've had before. You can taste that they used real avocados, a lot of it and I always really appreciate when dessert places incorporate the actual ingredient in their flavoring instead of relying on artificial syrups or powders. Then we also split a pandan waffle and I got a box of macarons to-go. You might not be able to taste much difference in the pandan flavor but the Mochi-like texture of the waffle made it extra yummy especially when it's still kinda crispy on the outside, hot off the grill. Also the macarons were good, especially matcha and honey lavender but I have a weird taste for floral/fragrant flavors so might not be everyone's thing...definitely have friends who think those flavors are nasty but to each their own.

    Got the BAMBU combo and a traditional Vietnamese iced coffee with coffee jelly and both were delicious. Service was great too!

    We literally go here like once a week and always get the Bambu favorite. Service is great and drinks are made quick! Parking can be tight sometimes but usually is not a problem.

    2/4/22. Let's see what's shaking

    2/9/22 On 2/4/22 my wife and I happened to stop by this business, because of a wrong turn made by me. This business did not have a lot of customers in the shop when we arrived. In fact, the one person I did see in the shop could have been an employee on his lunch break. Whatever the case is, there were a lot of drinks to choose from. I don't remember what my wife ordered, but when I was considering getting something like, pear, peach or mango, I learned a milk product is made with the drink. The guy working the counter said he can't make the drinks without the half and half product. I find milk product in my slushie drink to be a bad idea. Since I couldn't get water in my drink of choice instead of milk, I decided not to get anything. I did notice this restaurant had seating areas where you sit talk and play foosball or play some kind of card games. I noticed a big screen tv showing The Olympics (Olympic Games Beijing 2022 February 4, 2022 - February 20, 2022), but I will rewatch it later on. I did see cartoon characters like Spongebob ice cream and other items that one might find in a Good Humor Truck. There was also some Asian style ice cream I am not familiar with. There is one arcade machine in the corner near the bathrooms. The game I believe is called Centipede. This machine might have the function to play other games too. The floor of the place has some designs carved into the floor. Not sure if this was already there when this business took over, or it was done when this store opened up. Whatever the case is, it looks nice. My wife bought a drink and the guy made the drink in the kitchen area. I am use to seeing drinks get made out kn the open so one can see what is being put in the drink. This experience was not the case and my wife told me the drink had a funny taste to it. She later felt strange after drinking the drink. She did not finish the drink and she has no intention of ever going back here. Still, I give this place three stars on its looks and cleanliness from walking inside the shop.

    I was craving for che so we came here to check this place out. We ordered the fruit addict che and it came with a lot of ice on the top and milk. As soon as we left the place, I mixed everything up and tried it to see what it tasted like. The milk in the che was not sweet and tasted watered down. There was barely any toppings, such as the fruit and jellies. For every bite of toppings you got, you would get like 3-4 spoonfuls of milk afterwards. I loved the toppings though, particularly the pandan jelly and ruby pearls. By the time we got to finishing the rest of the che after dinner, the flavoring was so diluted because all of the ice had melted. Also, I wish that they had bigger spoons. Those little long red spoons that they have don't really fit anything on there.

    Julio is the best and he provides the friendliest customer service! The man is always such a joy to talk to! My favorite place to get Vietnamese drinks! I would recommend Bambu to anyone.

    6. Fruit Addict
    Nichakorn C.

    Fruit Addict was ok. It was not my thing but I'm pretty sure that a lot of people will like it. Kinda tastes like Thai dessert that I had when I was in Thailand. $8 with a lot of toppings. It was not that flavorful because coconut milk was kinda get dilute with ice.

    Mango Fresh Fruit Smoothie with Boba & Fruit Addict Che
    Francesca T.

    Cute little spot! Parking can be a bit of a hassle as it shares a small lot with Kogiya next door and some beauty school upstairs. But if you can get a spot it's worth it! I've brought my 5 year old son here with me a few times and he loves being able to see and read the HUGE photo menu on the wall so he can pick what he wants. He typically will pick a real fruit smoothie with boba and I'll go for the fruit addict che. I've tried a few different chés and appreciate the descriptions on the menu cause otherwise I would never know what anything is. My favorite is the fruit addict which reminds me of Filipino halo halo without the ice cream. I just really love palm seeds! The interior is super relaxed, couches in one corner with some foosball and a few games at the other tables so you feel welcome to hang out and relax for a bit.

    Passion Fruit Juice

    I've been wanting to try Bambu forever and was so excited that it was close to where my friends and I had dinner! My friend is Vietnamese American and she highly recommended their triple layer delight (second picture) and it was amazing!! I realized I love pandan jelly and the combo was a good balance of hearty and sweet! I will definitely order again. The passion fruit juice was one of the best passion fruit drinks I've ever had! The flavor was impeccable and I will definitely order a large next time. The cashier who I think was the owner was super friendly and helped us make recommendations. They have a huge variety of drinks so definitely a good spot for a group! They also had various snacks for sale. They have a foosball table and seating area to hang out. Highly highly recommend Bambu for delicious drinks! I forgot to mention that we also got the pandan waffle and it was amazing! Subtle and chewy goodness!

    Very good selection of drinks. Good prices. Not a long wait. Great drinks right beside kogiya. The only other places I've seen these sold were in Philly. I'm happy to have one so close to home again. Yummmm

    It seems that Bambu used to be in the Eden Center; however, I've never visited that location before they closed down. My friend and I found this spot by accident. He was craving an avocado smoothie and Bambu popped up as an option. Located in a super tiny area in Annandale with limited parking, Bambu has a simple yet welcoming interior and offers an appealing menu. I ordered of the Ché menu and got myself a Summer Delight. My drink was packed with goodies like red tapioca, coconut milk, grass and pandan jelly and mung beans. I also loved that my drink wasn't overly sweet. My friend, on their other hand, felt as if his smashed avocado was just whatever. I would say it's worth a try!

    I first tried Bambu in LA and was so excited to learn they were in VA too! Menu is the same but service at this location is waaay too slow. My go to is always the Fruit Addict Che. Che's are basically a Vietnamese take on a slushy! What makes them amazing are all the cool toppings and ad-ons! Most of them I've never heard of before, but they are mostly jellies in different shapes. I always ask for coconut milk instead of coconut water because I love the creaminess of it! I would recommend Bambu as a cool out of the ordinary dessert place.

A big group of us stopped by for some late night desserts this past Saturday. Other than drinks, they also have a fair amount of desserts like macarons, cookies, bingsoo (sadly, they did not have it when we stopped by), and baked goods. BLACK MILK TEA (M) - 5.25 +0.75 for tapioca pearl I got it with 25% sugar and 25% ice. This is my standard order for every new boba shop I check out. The one here was just OK. The 25% sugar was perfect for me but the milk tea was on the watery side. I couldn't taste that much of the tea flavor and the milk was a bit weak, too. The tapioca here is pretty soft and chewy, which we all enjoyed. BANANA PUDDING - 5.99 One of my friends got this for the table. The banana pudding slaps hard. The pudding is super smooth and creamy and there's bits of nilla wafers and banana chunks throughout that adds to the texture. For those Magnolia Bakery fans missing a good banana pudding, you can get one here that is solid. BERRY LEMON BAR - 7.49 Another dessert for the table. This was so dense. One bite and I was done. It is quite sweet and citrusy, but more so too sweet for me. Our group loved it. To the sweet tooths and lemon bar lovers, this one is for you. I'd recommend it. Would love to stop by in the future to try their bingsoo and their banana pudding again!

I mourn the fact that COVID killed the samples, but it's still a great place to shop for a treat or just run in and grab a coffee which I do a few times a month. Recommend: Any of the breads that are unwrapped and on the baking trays by the counter. Those are fresh out of the oven that day. I especially love the mocha roll. It's big and fluffy with chewy moist mocha flavored dough and a crispy sugary coating on the outside that's to die for. It's still light and fluffy at the same time. Yum! And while it's prob not made in-house, I do love the red bean buns. Bathrooms are always clean and the upstairs is great for a longer chat with a friend, time in a book, or board or card game time. They also have a lovely upstairs covered porch for pretty days.

First, the yogurt snow had awful fruits: kiwi was old, strawberries were not ripe, melon tasted like watermelon rinds, the canned mandarins tasted canned. The yogurt was okay, but the snow tasted just like ice. Absolutely no flavor whatsoever for $16.55 The chocolate chip brownie, didn't have much taste of chocolate and stale. $4.50 The upside down pineapple cake was the worst, so old it had the metallic taste of the aluminum container and crumbled into granules using a fork. Absolutely inedible! $4.25 Breeze bakery has been going downhill for a while now, but 3 out 3 items being inedible for $28 is unbelievable. There is also the short bulky Korean guy, possibly the manager who's seems to be on a power trip and speaks to customers rudely and unprofessionally. Will never come back and will inform my friends and family how this business is tanking.

This one was my personal fav out of the 3; I thought it was going to be a normal milk tea; i wasnt expecting the thick coconut or the passion fruit taste. I added pudding as an additional topping and it blended so well with the coconut and thick creaminess. The boba was spot on and just the right amount of chewyness and sweetness. -Prism Town Punch (inspo: Totodile) a tropical punch with blue curacao, citrus lemonade and aloe jelly. This drink was not really my cup of tea but it tasted very similar to a mountain dew baja blast LOL -Mega Evolution Matcha (inspo: Chikorita) "creamy buttery matcha with brown sugar boba" .. This one was the worst one, in my opinion. I love a good matcha latte but this was not it. It tasted like grass, I couldnt have more than 3 sips. My friend and I finished the other 2 and thought we'd give the matcha another try; it was worse this time than the initial tasting. I have no words.... truly just not great. The boba-ristas were nice and allowed us to switch out our straw toppers. We got 2 pikachus and 1 pokeball straw topper; they are super cute. The store is small with a few hightop tables, they have a new claw machine with some cute stuffed plushies and a photo booth.
