We found this place on To Good To Go. For anyone that doesn't know, restaurants, bakeries, etc. can register on this app to sell their food/drinks at a discounted price at the end of the day (a win win- the restaurants get to reduce their food waste, and I get to try new places around Cincinnati!). We got two drinks and thought that both were a good size and exceptional-tasting. Because we ordered with To Good To Go, we didn't get to pick our flavors, but the woman at the counter was extremely knowledgeable and mixed a lot of different types of tea and add-ins. She was very attentive and asked about some of my preferences and desired sweetness. 5 stars for the drinks, and 5 stars for the service! read more

They have nice selection of desserts and savory appetizer such as buns and dimsum. Definitely a place to check out if u need a boba fix. read more

I was on the search for a good hot tea and found Boba Angel. The interior is bright and full of wall art that would draw people in. However, I found the tea experience underwhelming. The black goji berry was not available so I opted for the rose tea. The tea is not served in a pot or mug if you dine in. Just a basic plain white disposable paper cup with no branding. It took about 5-10 min to get the rose tea, which was just a few rose buds placed in a to-go cup of hot water. ($3.75) Didn't really taste like anything. Nothing special. A no frills approach to tea time. They have a single restroom which says employees only, but I was allowed to use it. Very tight space with old fixtures. Perhaps the boba is better since it's what they are known for, but don't go for tea you can easily make at home. They also serve food, which I did not try. read more

There's an unpleasant odor like paint thinner when walking in however the place looks quaint. The menu looks nice when you walk in but then they are sold out of everything we asked for. The employees are nice enough you can tell it's a family run business - the owner gave my money back due to not having enough waffle batter however she still gave me a waffle in a bag so I could try ! I'm glad she did as it was delicious! I'd go back just for that alone . I can't wait to go back and I hope they have some of the other menu items like soup dumplings and dim sum. My friend got rice balls with tuna inside she said we're delicious she got 2 and bought 2 more to go ! Both of our teas were so flavorful. Work on not being out of the things on the menu and otherwise this small place will be a hit among boba and tea lovers alike. ! I ordered a bubble waffle and a bubble tea along with my friend who ordered a drink and 2 tuna rolls. read more

Came by on a cold quiet Monday after a long workday. They had just opened up shop for 1 month. The store was empty and I was greeted by a pleasant/cheerful cashier. There was a odd industrial aroma walking into the store that was neither pleasant nor foul. An electic assortment of furniture was laid out for guests to lounge. The owner is a Hong Kong native so surely the boba tea had to be exceptional, or so I thought. I decided on 1/2 sugar Hong style milk tea with boba. The drink was prepared luke warm in a store-themed container. The tapioca was the most indeed very flavorful boba I could tell it was fresh. However, some of the balls were tad bit firm and they did stick together in the cup making it difficult to sip through the straw. Boba is supposed to have a super soft and chewy texture and compliment the drink it sits, this was not the case. The actual drink itself was flat, lacked flavor or was masked by a prominant black tea note. There was no detectable creaminess or silkiness from the milk. Overall, despite the wonderful service/cashier, the ambiance, decor and drink leaves much to be desired if this place hopes to be the defacto boba spot for the local youth in Cincinnati. read more

We visited this store with Too Good To Go, and must say it was a great experience! The store is cozy with its own quirks strewn throughout. We didn't get to choose our flavors, but they were delicious -- mango tea with tapioca pearls. The tapioca texture was great, chewy but soft. Staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming! read more

Service was great. Very helpful and patient cashier/owner of the shop. I do think the prices for bakery items/dim sum are a bit overly priced. The slices of cake showed $12 and the roll slices $6. I wish they came in bit sizes since you don't always want that large a piece of something sweet. I tried the taro bun and it was very soft and a great bite sized dim sum option. I got the Hong Kong style Milk Tea and wanted it hot but ended up getting a cold one. Not sure if she just had not heard me say hot but I didn't want to make a big deal as it was still delicious. It was just cold out so was looking for a warm drink to have and chat with a friend. She said the Hong Long tea is very special and from Hong Kong. It's a black tea and I love black teas with milk so choose that. I love milk tea and teas so will want to check out other things on the menu. They have an extensive breakfast menu too which I will have to try sometime. Not sure how long it would take to get considering it's a small cafe and there was just 1 person working, but will have to give it a shot for brunch sometime. If they start paying the bakery items with pictures online for online ordering I think it come to do pick up orders more often. read more

I wrote this review not to be harsh but it was exactly as I stated, the place smelled horribly ( a sewage smell) I would work on this because its very unappealing. And although she states they don't allow customers to use the bathroom she allowed me to use the bathroom there was no soap or toilet paper, it was very unclean. I had to grab a napkin outside. The bathroom is located right next to the arcade game that is hanging on the wall, so yes, I was a real customer. I stated that the customer service was good because the girl was friendly, so not all is bad. But for the Boba it is not good. It's definitely not authentic and has a weird after taste. I am only re-writing this because she flagged it to say that it wasn't a real review months later. It's OK I understand not good business because you don't agree but everyone has their own opinion; also looks like Im not the only one who feels this way. Theres always room for improvement! read more

First time at Boba Angel and had a great experience! There are lots of food, drink, and dessert options to choose from. Plenty of seating available and good service. I got the Valentines Drink and loved it. Definitely will be back! read more

I was initially excited to hear about a new boba place nearby but I was quite disappointed with this first experience. My order took way too long to make and the staff seemed like they had no clue what they were doing. It was a very slow Sunday mid day around 11-12 and I ordered a Hong Kong style milk tea with boba. It was way too sweet which lost the traditional milk and tea flavor. The boba wasn't that great as it tasted overcooked. I wanted to try their pork congee as they offered traditional dim sum and congee is a dim sum must have. The congee was disappointing. It was supposed to be pork congee with green onions. I asked for the century egg and the staff told me it was included in the congee, but it was not. Clearly they did not know the menu items and my congee was plain and bland as can be. No green onions and no century egg. The interior was cute but there seemed to be a musty aroma walking in to the store. The interior esthetics seemed like it could have some really good potential but there was a lack or organization with random stuff and clutter everywhere. Definitely need improvement because the clutter made the place seem a bit dirty. Overall, my first experience was very disappointing. Maybe I'll give it another try after they've established a better business operation. read more

Boba Angel - Ovaltine W. Bubble & milk foam w jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

The tapioca pearls were not chewy and were disintegrating in our teas. I've never thrown out full cups of boba tea before until today, and the prices are a bit deceptive. Even though the description said "boba", an extra 75 cents per drink was charged for tapioca pearls, which ARE boba. The shop was cute and neat, the worker very helpful and cheerful. No snacks are available in the evening except for a few bakery items. read more

So, I live practically downtown/OTR and stumbled upon Boba and biked by their adorable shop at like 8:10AM which wasnt open - really intrigued what breakfast offerings they do and I hope its greasy spoon from fried potatoes to biscuits with gravy options. Will try to swing by again. The place looks super cute inside. read more

This place blew me away. Was not expecting the Boba to be THAT GOOD. But it was. Absolutely delicious. So fresh and what an amazing texture and flavor. And Jun who works with the shop was so pleasant. Very accommodating and very friendly. as a Cincinnati guy through and through, it was interesting to hear about where she grew up in China. The whole experience was unique and fun. Authentic for sure. Also the tuna roll with seaweed. YUM. Quite an extensive menu so I think pretty much anyone will find something they like. Good luck with the business, and I will be back!! read more
