BAMBU - Bambu favorite - Bubble Tea Near Me - West Allis, Wisconsin

Small and cozy but packs big flavor! I ordered a honeydew smoothie and it was spot on flavor and concistancy. Tasted exactly like a honeydew melon. Service waa efficient and friendly. My dining partner partner got taro smoothie with rainbow jellies. They said it was flavorful and well made. read more

Good customer service and cute ambiance and that's about it. I wasn't impressed with the mango milk tea, it was very sour and sugary. I did ask the girl if the milk tea was blended or iced and she said blended and it came out iced. I should have gotten the smoothie or another type of tea. read more

A friend and I met here recently to try out their boba. I was craving boba tea, so I suggested we meet here. Neither of us had ever been here before. Bambu is located in a small strip mall. There is seating for about 12 or so folks, and I found a table easily. It was hard to pick from the menu. For a small place, there is an extensive menu list. So I ended up with a coconut mocha coffee with plain boba and it was amazingly delicious. There are so many other interesting flavors and drinks to try, along with smoothies, teas, chè, waffles, and others. While we were there, there was a steady stream of customers coming in, some staying in, and some going out. We were there about 45 minutes and by the end. The interior could use some upkeep (paint/walls). But, the staff were super friendly, and the drinks are great. read more

Their pandan waffle is a must (try to eat it fresh & hot). Their #10 Che is perfect for hot days. I'm from LA, and every time I visit here, it brings me back home. read more

Bambu is a great Vietnamese dessert chain and this one did not disappoint. All the drunks we got were delicious and fresh. Love that that taro here tastes noticeably different from other place, reminds me a lot of che. What we ordered: - passion fruit green tea - red bean milk tea - taro milk tea read more

BAMBU - Passion fruit - Bubble Tea Near Me - West Allis, Wisconsin

I love stopping by here to get a quick treat! It is located in the pacific pearl plaza near 99 Ranch. The interior is clean and the staff is very friendly and quick! There is a large menu of already curated desserts or you can make your own. You also have the option of adjusting bc the sweetness or liquid bases for your dessert I always opt to build my own with no sugar syrup added and coconut juice instead of milk. read more

It was a hot day. We were wondering if their bubble teas are similar to the famous Taiwan style drinks. Although their drinks are good but they are definitely not the Taiwan style bubble teas. They are more a variation of the popular bubble tea with a twist of Vietnamese drinks. There were all kinds of chewy stuff that are very colorful. I have no idea what they are but I have seen them in Asian grocery stores before. read more

The rollercoaster ride of being emotionally devastated when Bambu closed on my hometown, then finding out that they were opening a location in Milwaukee... The humid Midwest summers become much more bearable with their desserts! This is one of my favorite chains to get che and other Vietnamese specialty drinks. Bambu is located conveniently in a little strip mall in West Allis next to a popular Asian grocery store and a couple other restaurants. There's plenty of parking and a small amount of seating inside. The interior is clean and modern; if you come when they're making fresh pandan waffles for customers, the smell is amazingly fragrant! My top recommendation for what to try at Bambu is che. There are a lot of different varieties, but the ones at Bambu are mostly a combination of shaved ice, coconut milk, and a myriad of fruit or jelly toppings. My personal favorite is the Awesome Trio [$6] (similar to che ba mau), which has pandan jelly, red, white, and mung beans, and taro. For those who aren't sure about beans in dessert, don't knock it until you try it- sweetened beans are a very popular dessert option in many Asian countries! All of the che options are pretty filling. Use a spoon to crush up the ice and mix the dessert together before eating. They have a lot of other che options, so you can definitely find one that has the combination of toppings you want! Bambu also offers fresh fruit smoothies, mangonadas, Vietnamese coffees, boba and fruit teas, and yogurt parfaits. For the hottest summer days, I love the mango yogurt parfait [$6.50]- the icy tartness of the yogurt combined with the sweetness of the mango puree cools you down instantly. I'm actually not a huge fan of the boba here, I think the other stuff on the menu is better, but I do like that toppings of the boba are free. If you're hankering for a snack with your drink or dessert, you truly can't go wrong with the pandan waffle [$4.50]. Pandan is a tropical plant that is used in many Asian desserts for its vibrant green color and fragrant flavor. I would say the flavor is kind of like aromatic vanilla and coconut, but not overwhelming. Bambu makes them fresh to order and they're perfect for sharing with a friend (though after you taste it, you might not be willing to share...). They also offer mochi ice cream and French macarons, but those look sort of mass-produced, I'm not sure, so I haven't tried them before. Although I'm writing this review in the dead of winter, I can't wait for summer to come back so I can try more of the items at Bambu! read more

Do you want amazing smoothie and boba? Go there. Service is always fast and there treats are soooo good.

I love that this place, can't believe I haven't written a review yet, I have been here so many times already that I have lost count! Super friendly, quick service, delicious and refreshing treats that can't really be found elsewhere. It's not just about the boba, though I am a big fan. The pandan waffles are amazing, and the macarons are also a sweet treat. Seriously though, get a waffle. You will NOT regret it. I'm someone who sticks to what they like, Thai tea, but have ventured around the menu several times just to avoid being vanilla. I like a lot of the unique additions but some are just too much for my palate. The lotus seeds for one, beans as well until I got used to the texture. But there's a lot of jellies and fruit that are a little more uncommon in drinks/desserts that I truly appreciate. One item I have ordered blindly was the Mangonada. Not a fan at all but that doesn't mean it's a bad drink. Think of a savory, salty and sweet flavor in a single sip with a hint of spice - to me it's a little off putting. Quite unexpected and definitely not a flavor profile I'm used to. But, I tried! I ordered the "fruit addict" early in, thinking it was a drink, but it's more of a dessert in a cup and I needed a fork to eat a lot of the fruit chunks. That is something important to note - a lot of the offerings are a dessert and not a drink, though they are served up in drink cups. Be prepared and don't be afraid to ask questions! read more

I love this place. I saw it on google maps and knew I literally needed to go. The shop is so cute, and in an area with other nice places. The service is amazing, and they were all so nice and patient. And not only are the drinks cute, but very good. Lots of options. The macarons are also really, really good. Overall, loved this place and will go again. read more

Hard to knock this chain. Fresh ingredients. We always get the taro because fresh taro is hard to come by. It is on the pricier side but worth it. Have been to several chains across the country and have yet to have a bad experience. Everything is electronic too so it's nice to be modernized. Menu is easy to understand and order from. Lots of options so take you Happy eating/drinking! read more

We were visiting Milwaukee for a Father's Day outing and wanted some desserts to accompany our lunch. I randomly found Bambu through Yelp and decided to try it out after all of the positive reviews. It's a quaint store along a small Asian-oriented strip mall, but it was very busy when we arrived! The overall atmosphere is very welcoming and relaxed, and their menu is a delight! I opted for a regular iced Vietnamese Coffee as they're difficult to come by. You're able to add toppings (I added coffee jelly) and even adjust the ice and sweetness levels to your liking! The Vietnamese Coffee was phenomenal albeit strong (which I forgot) - the perfect pick-me up! Overall, it was a surprisingly pleasant experience that we were not expecting from Milwaukee. I would come back to try out more of their menu. It's varied and creative enough where I know I can get something different everytime. While not a negative for me, I'd like to briefly mention that their fruit smoothies appear to be from syrup/concentrate. Again, that's not a deal breaker for me, but some may not like the taste of artificial flavours. read more

Great customer service and fantastic beverages!!! We tried the mango dazzle fruit smoothie with boba and thai iced tea with boba. Both were simply delicious!!! read more

Service was good but the taste of the smoothies were mediocre. Even though it states it's made with real fruit, it tasted like there was a lot of syrup to enhance the sweetness which made it taste artificial and over sweetened. The place was small and clean with a good amount of signs up explaining their product. read more

I have been going here for a long time. The Che (Vietnamese dessert) is always delicious! My kiddos enjoy their bubble tea too. I haven't tried their bubble tea since I can never pass up on Che. Highly recommend! read more

Coming from California, more specifically the Bay Area, I am a bit of a boba connoisseur. Bambu is my new spot for all my boba needs. I absolutely love the classic brown sugar milk tea! And when I'm studying, I love to get the salted caramel coffee. I will be coming here a lot over the next 4 years. read more

Great selection, top notch service, and super clean. I appreciate that they have a wide variety of options (dessert drinks, teas, smoothies, etc.) and the ingredients were high quality. I had pretty high expectations based on the other California reviewers, and my hopes were met. Definitely going for the Bambu Halo-Halo next time. Husband got the Thai Tea with red boba (they have like a surprise center!) and said it's the best in SE Wisconsin. Everyone wore masks inside (customers and cashier), plenty of hand sanitizer and the tables were all clean. read more

Brand new, clean, simple, easy explanations and descriptive menu. Its bust and the smashed avocado was really good. I like that you can modify the sweetness of the drink. Cool minimalist interior.

We've gone here a few times and it has been fairly consistent, but have noticed that they tend to skimp out at times. Just went there today and ordered drinks with no ice and got these, two drinks that aren't even close to full. One of them is literally just a little over half full. It goes to show that they obviously try to overfill their drinks with ice to save costs. Pretty disappointed and will have to consider other Boba joints at this point. read more

i love bambu! the boba is always perfectly cooked and the drinks are always just as good as the boba, if not better. it's never too loud, and the service is very nice. read more

As a Bay Area native, I had high expectations for this place and they were absolutely met. Myself and some colleagues are regulars here, with my personal favorite being a simple Taro Lover though the Smashed Avocado and Bambú combo were surprise hits. It's a place we definitely seek out despite the drive from Tosa after long work days or weeks as a special treat, and I hope they're able to stay in business for a long time to come. If you're new to these drinks, just ask the cashier for some recommendations! You can't go wrong as seen by all the high reviews. And a little snack for a picnic (loooove the waffles) never hurts either! read more

I don't recommend anyone coming here they ripped us off and made us pay for two drinks but only received one and the service was terrible! And they made us wait in a long line. I recommend serenitea! read more

We were in the mood for boba tea, so searched around and realized this place wasn't too far away. We spent the whole ride looking over their menu and getting hyped about what we would order. Great menu with tons of options and LOTS of ways to customize your drink. We felt a little overwhelmed because we weren't familiar with many of the drinks, but upon arrival, the man working the counter was very helpful and explained the drinks and made recommendations. I also appreciate that you can choose your sweetness level on pretty much every drink, as well as what boba or jelly you want. It's a small shop, but friendly staff and great smells. Can't wait to return and try more of their menu! read more

Love the ability to specify sweetness level! Lots of interesting things to try -- even if you drink a lot of bubble tea like my 13-year-old. Friendly, too! Always about 5 people waiting for their orders but line moves fairly fast. read more
