On the first day I got a mango smoothie with mango jelly and boba. It was good. No complaints Two days later I ordered a smashed avocado. So disappointed. They only fill the cup halfway with avocado. Compared to Randolphs, they fill up the entire cup! Won't be ordering the Smashed Avocado anymore. Also, the young girl running the cashier could use some more training on how to talk to customers. Her tone seemed very rude but I sure hope it wasn't intentional. A few training sessions should help This place is still new so I'll wait a couple more weeks before I give it another try. read more

BAMBU - Half a cup of Avocado - Bubble Tea Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

A place to grab Vietnamese desserts in Dorcester. They have a variety of Che as well as coffees, smoothies, and milk teas. We got the coffee milk tea with coffee jelly and the blended cold coffee mocha with coffee jelly. Both were average however they both tasted more like milk tea. The che we got were fruit addict(#6) and the coconut combo (#11). The che was average, lacked flavor and on top of it, the desert was missing pandan jelly and red tapioca. Just a tip parking is hard to find in the area! read more

Its mad depressing here, employees look like they are forced to be here. Boss is also cocky and arrogant to customers and employees. Bad work space. read more

You gotta try out J7 at Bambu! It is the first thing I got at bambu, and also my favourite. I love the texture of the agar blended with coconut water. Real Fresh!!! read more

I have been to Bambu many times and I fell in love with all their drinks. You can really tell that everything here is fresh. The coconut milk here is authentic and you can tell they don't use it out of a can. Same with the Coco-juice( they got it out of fresh coconut) because I always get the Coco juice at the market and it is obvious that there's a different taste to it. My favorite che is the number 10 and I always get it. It's basic and simple. I also get the awesome trio( che ba Mau) and it has variety of beans. The smoothies are really fresh and their teas are amazing. Their store is magnificent especially the interior design and it's very clean. They tend to switch up the theme which always surprises me. It's IG-worthy Ofc.The customer service is A+. This is my favorite to-go place for dessert! read more

I am a huge fan of teas and coffees, and absolutely love treating myself to BAMBU. They have so many fun options on their menu, from the classic Taro milk tea to Ché desserts, and more. I have encountered wonderful and prompt service each time I have visited. I can already anticipate their delicious and refreshing drinks being a summer go-to for my friends and I. Yummmmmmm!!! read more

If you're curious about what oolong tea tastes like and would like to give it a try, I would recommend coming to Bambu and getting an oolong tea here. I drank my first oolong tea here and occasionally come back when I am craving it again. They do make it sweet in case you were wondering. What makes this place different from the other boba spots is that you get to pick 2 toppings at no additional costs which is super rare. Just know that the occupancy varies, at times the place is packed and there are no tables to sit at and at other times the place is quiet. read more

I love this place and come here about once every week. I usually get the avacado smoothie with boba and either coconut jelly or bursting boba (all the bursting boba flavors are great). Today I decided to try something new and got a strawberry smoothie with boba and strawberry jelly. I LOVED it. But I have said that about every flavor combination I've made :) The staff is really great and makes quality flavor recommendations. I definitely recommend this place. read more

BAMBU - Strawberry Smoothie with strawberry jelly and boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

The ambiance inside is decorated and they have a fair amount of options. However, I don't like how they cheat me off the avocado dessert (Bo Dam) two out of three times. Twice it was only half full with ice occupying the other half. When I asked if it was supposed to be like this (because it's not), the girl at the counter gave me a shrug with arms wide open. I don't care if it's expensive, I'll be glad to pay any amount for any food as long as it tastes good, but I feel like I am being lied to when they charge a full amount but only fills the cup halfway. Very deceptive. Needless to say, I won't be coming back. Save your money and time and go to Coco Leaf less than a minute away. read more

Usually foods or service will make up for the other if they can't do both but this place doesn't even want to do one. Not even mediocre stuffs yet, the worst service & staffs as you'll see anyways. Refused to swap for coconut milk on request even tho they put the same thing on their che things. Hella expensive in general and for smallas drinks & worse not customizable for any kinds of adjustments. Absolutely refused to do anything for their faults, except fighting customer so they can keep the money as you can see in other reviews. I've never seen or witnessed any place that would do this Specifically noted for order and then filled with those things i asked to remove instead. How hard is it to just skip 2 of these bobba toppings things? I already told them of allergy and can't have those things so don't add those in but THEY DID THE OPPOSITE, now that's just intentional negligence. On top of that, waiting time after time 1hour just for 4 drinks?! not even a dine in restaurant would take that long for foods during busy hours! Girl named TIEN shown on my receipt was the most horrible & rudest cashier i've ever come across. I won't be surprised she'd be the one that purposely messed up my order. If you don't want more customers, sure, keep at it. People won't overlook it after 2-3 times. Just stick with Cocoleaf or any place down the street, or even restaurant opposite this store makes a nice fresh smoothie drink in less than 2mins & very friendly staff. Anywhere else can do everything this place just won't do for you! viet customers are mostly only who they give their suddenly fast service to and treat decent. All the non-viet had to wait for eternity and crappy service, and even for ubereats driver also had to wait a long time. Will never come back to this awful place, it's a shame to all the other vietnamese businesses! read more

Their chocolate croissants are delish - and the piña colada smoothie is definitely a great way to start the day! Great spot to drop in for a pastry, a sandwich, or breakfast. read more

This place seemed really promising, looked beautiful and clean inside. But it was the worst bubble tea I've ever had. No line yet we waited 20 minutes as workers continually walked by us and ignored us. Finally got our tea, Thai tea with bursting yogurt boba and regular Mochi and taro tea with regular boba and strawberry mochi. First off, the Thai tea was gross. Secondly, bursting yogurt boba was the nastiest thing I have ever had. I even think it's possible it was rancid it tasted so terrible. I couldn't drink it. The taro was thick and sickeningly sweet and creamy, which is saying something because I love sweet. Mochi didn't fit through the straw so it was a waste. The grossest tea I've ever had. Also, there was something frozen in their ice? read more

BAMBU - Bubble Tea Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

Exceptional customer service. Delicious drinks. You can definitely go here grab a drink and just relax. It reminds me a lot of a tea place out in Hawaii. I love that they play music it just gives off a friendly relaxing vibe. We typically grab a drink once a week on Sundays and we haven't had one drink that disappointed us. We will continue coming here. read more

Their drinks went downhill. I over heard the owner talk shit about her employees. That's a

The best spot for some amazing Chè and with the nicest staff The Taro Lover is my favorite.

Soooo good. Not your run of the mill bubble tea joint, although they do those very well. Vietnamese dessert drinks fun fruit teas and bomb smoothies are the stars. They don't just have the usual suspect fruit either (I always go for the jackfruit) Staff is awesome, friendly and quick to answer any questions. Service is quick too! read more

My husband and I love bambu favorite and bambu special. We go there almost every week. But the only problem is their customer service, they do not know how to say thank you and never smile. Drinks and snacks are delicious, thats why we always order and eat them in our car, never wanna sit in the store Being in there is mad depressing. Especially when the girl who wears glasses works on that day.. read more

Great customer service! Friendly staff, she was very helpful. Local which is awesome . Very clean! Nice presentation, lay out and display of food. read more

Honestly the this place is perfect for any Vietnamese dessert cravings! Their che menu vary from beans, fruits, coconut water, coconut milk, pandan jelly, grass jelly, red tapioca. You can even customize your che. Their coffee, milk tea, and smoothies are also exceptionally good. I love how they care about their boba. It has a chewy (but not a soft chewy) texture which is a complement to any drink. If anyone decide to come after reading this review. Please try #1 Bambu Special, #10 Bambu Favorite, Thai Tea, Black Milk Tea, Coconut Mocha, Mangonada, Pandan Waffle. I promise you will not disappoint. read more

Great place! I'm a white washed Asian who never grew up on this stuff, so when I brought my Vietnamese Born mother to this place her eyes was wide opened and she looked like a kid in a candy shop! She was amazed with the selections, smell of the coconut panda bread (green waffle thing). I know I ordered something very good but I surely don't know what it's called. The service was great, we were greeted by a girl and she took our order, the owner came out and helped us and offered recommendations to my mum in Vietnamese. I didn't understand any of it, but my mom was happy. I'll be honest, my mum is hard to please, she normally complains on certain things but she only had great things to saw and add, she fell in love with the Panda greenish waffle, and so was I. I will be back t try out the other various items on the menu! read more

Loveeeeeeeee this place by far the best !!!!! I will be return as much times as possible. I highly recommend T5 n the mangonada read more

Delicious avocado smoothie with sister! A bit pricy but very clean and beautiful inside seating

Có nhiều sự lựa chọn, tôi đã từng ăn qua nhiều chi nhánh khác của thương hiệu này, nhưng đối với tôi chổ này khá ổn, vị ngọt vừa, đóng gói cũng kĩ càng !!! Duy nhất điễm trừ nằm ở nắp hộp read more

I was coming here twice a week, but I had to stop because many of the music videos they have playing on the TVs are blatantly vulgar. I asked them to change the channel once, but they didn't. I can't subject my ears, eyes, mind, or soul to this. read more

This place is such a hidden GEM !! I LOVE the smoothies and the service is IMPECCABLE !!! The owners are so informative and really want you to enjoy the experience of the beverages and the environment is so warm and cozy. One of my favorite places in my neighborhood!!! read more

I've been waiting for this location to be opened for over 1.5year, but got extremely disappointed. Watery che. Ran out of ingredients. Cheated us on the Vietnamese coffee portion -- filled only half cup! read more

wonderful staff! great service and delicious desserts. I recommend anything Taro

Excellent che and yogurt! I'm so excited for their HOT che. Please request more hot che so we can have more!! There's no other place that makes it so good! My all time favorite is Che #10. My other right now is the plain yogurt and the hot Che is the ba ba, with the yams and tapioca. Mmmmmmm it's to die for!!! Great service and very keen to details. The atmosphere is clean and spacious. read more

I love chè #1. The coconut juice is so fresh. And the Mangonada is perfect too. Love it read more

Couldn't ask for a ruder service than this Bambu location. Your dessert might be comparable to Cocoleaf but your customer service is way inferior. Please take a class from Cocoleaf if you want to survive in business long. read more

Great place to check it out. They have very good milk teas. The red bean smoothie is best. They also allow customers use bathroom, just need ask for the key. Overall, this place clean and has one of the best milk teas in the area. read more

Bambu is my favorite bubble tea shop. I come here very often to buy the Che as well. I recommend the number ten, it tastes so awesome and good. The cashier is very nice helping me out. The pandan waffle is also a must try. It is different from an American waffle because it is more on the chewier side which I love. Totally worth the price!!!! read more

Mhhh....I don't know what is all these negative reviews is about. I visited the place last weekend and their che are pretty good. The smoothies are on the notch. Very rich, creamy and flavoring. Services are fast. I love the location because it right in field corner, a few blocks away from my house. Now I don't have to go all the way out to Randolph to get Bamboo desserts. The menu have less choices than the one in Randolph but hopefully they will add more stuffs to the list later on. The store is very relaxing and clean. There are a few competitions around the area like Sweet Sip right next door and CoCo Leaf down the street that sell the same thing. read more

Coconut milk is essential to any Vietnamese desserts, I've had to ask for extra coconut milk (extra charge) to make it decent but this time I was really disappointed . Coconut milk was super bland and no taste, it tases like as if they just open the coconut milk can and pour it into the chè. read more

We came around 8:30pm on a Sunday night. There were only 1 or 2 parties that ordered ahead of us but it took 15 min for us to get our #2 bambu combo. I'm sure it was worth the wait considering the jelly tasted like it was old and in the fridge for a while. I also didn't think it was sweet enough. I'll come back after they figure out their system and what not. They get a pass for being new. I would go to the Randolph location over this one. read more

Stopped by on a whim and ordered some desert. The place is nice inside and cashier was very nice but the food wasn't that great. It was very watered down and had little flavor. It also took very long for the food to come out. Also very pricey, spent $35 on a couple cups of desert and treats. You can get the same desert right down the st at the pho place for way cheaper. I hope they make some changes to make their product match their price. The place was empty on a Friday night which made me wonder why the food took so long. Overall the experience was not worth the price. read more

I tried Bambu for the first time in California and loved it. I was excited when I saw that they were opening one in Dorchester (the Randolph location is too out of the way for me). I got the same one that I got in Cali which was the fruit addict. It was awful. Extremely watered down and flavorless. Only a few pieces of fruit in a cup of water with a slight hint of coconut milk, and a big ol scoop of shaved ice. What a disappointment. read more

5/5 stars! I absolutely love meeting my friends here. I usually get the oolong milk tea, so simple but sooooo good. The worker that assisted me was super sweet. Not only was she super pretty (her makeup was bomb), but she was very kind and knows exactly what I want to drink. I've been trying out their smoothies lately, so the workers give me new suggestions each time. I will definitely continue coming here for the drinks, as well as the fantastic service. read more

Love this place for my guests and myself when you're not counting calories intake LOL.
