After a practice, the kids wanted some bubble tea. The closest one was Boba Baar. Walking inside felt like I stepped into a friend's apartment living room from back in the day. There was the couch, armchairs, bookshelf full of games and a Foosball table! To complete the experience, they have mini versions of Ms PAC Man and Mortal Kombat. My guess is that they are going for the comfortable hangout look of our college years and they hit the bullseye. We ordered the drinks via a kiosk. I noticed that is the trend among all the Bubble Tea shops these days. The drinks themselves are on par with most other places, but it's their dining room that I will remember a year from now. read more

Love bubble and just found out about this spot. Plus wifey loves passionfruit green tea with lichee jelly and this placed had it. Her drink was great. Everything that she wanted. Maybe will try 75% sweeter next time. I got the brown sugar boba but with 50% sweet. Not sweet enough. But standard. Lil man got strawberry slush and he liked that as well. Now that we know this place has the drink that wifey loves, we will be back. Plus I want to try the crème brûlée boba next time. They also have a rewards system where you get a card and after 10 stamps/drinks you get a free one. read more

Recently stopped by this boba place for the first time and loved it! This place is super cute with a game machine and cute decorations. I ordered on the screen and customized it the way I wanted to easily. My drink was ready fast and the service was friendly/ helpful. The music inside was also good which Is something I always pay attention to. I ordered a matcha latte with boba and it was great. The boba seemed fresh and not hard like other places. Overall, I recommend and will be back when in the area. It's across roosevelt field mall. read more

WOW is all I can say. Have been here a few times (and ordered on Door Dash from them as well) and the drinks are always phenomenal. Sugar level is great- not too much. My favorite drink so far is the Watermelon Strawberry Lemonade Slush with Lychee topping, it's delicious. Service is quick too. Ambiance is great with a variety of games in the shop. read more

Boba Baar - Watermelon Strawberry Lemonade Slush - Bubble Tea Near Me - Garden City, New York

Such a chill vibe. I loved it here! It was a great boba spot in the middle of Garden City that we stumbled upon when I had a craving for some bubble tea. With the free parking, it was super convenient to just drop in for what we thought would be a simple grab and go drink. We wound up staying for over an hour playing games, making memories and chatting with co-founder, Terry. He was super friendly and easy to talk to, willing to help out with whatever you needed! There were tons of games for all ages, and the kids young and old kept entertained. The menu here is extensive. Tea, coffee, lemonades, slushies, egg waffles, macaroons, cakes and some savory items. We got the strawberry delight and the brown sugar milk tea. My biggest compliment is the accuracy in sugar and ice levels! The milk tea was so strong and bubbles were perfectly chewy. At 50% sweetness, it was perfect. Not too sweet, which is the ultimate Asian compliment for sweets. I will most definitely be back when I'm in the area and crave some sweets and drinks! Thanks Terry, for making our tea break stay fantastic. read more

This was my first time visiting this cozy little shop, and while the interior is beautifully decorated and very welcoming, the drinks fall a bit short of expectations. Boba has become such a popular beverage in the U.S., with countless shops popping up everywhere--so at this point, who hasn't tried boba tea? My three-star rating is based on the shop's ambiance and the friendly customer service. Unfortunately, the drinks themselves were just okay. The boba pearls (tapioca) weren't as fresh as I'd hoped, they were a bit tough and overly chewy, lacking the soft, plump texture that's essential for great boba. Fun note, if you order via Uber eats app, you can sometimes get a BOGO offer, check the app! read more

Boba Baar - My delicious lunch! Taro milk tea with Boba, strawberry popping jellies, and mango star jellies. Yummmy!! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Garden City, New York

I'm giving up my "50% off if you rate 5 stars". In order for my review to be credible, I rated 4 instead. Considered it's 4.5 stars cause I want my review to matter and reflect credibility and not thinking here is another dude trying to get 50% off his drink. However, coming from SF Bay area in California, second capital of milk tea world (#1 gotta be Taiwan). I've had milk tea I don't want to go back. This place in the middle of garden city is ok. Rather than trying my luck, I'd rather come here. Taro milk tea - I highly recommend 50% sweetness. It's already sweet enough for me. Taste is as good as the best one I had. Cookie and cream milk tea - It's not bad but the % of chocolate and cookie and cream need to switch. I ended up tasting more chocolate than cookie and cream. Also recommend 50% sweetness. Creme brulee milk tea - perfect. Over 50% sweetness as well and it was perfect. Service was excellent. You may ask what the heck for a pick up drink place have service? Well, yes. I ordered extra drink for the evening so I asked if they can do no ice. The dude delightfully said no problem. At some places, they will tag on $.50 for that request. Never heard of it? Come to California or just considered yourself lucky. read more

I come back again! The milk tea is my all time favorite. Very rich tea flavor. This time I try the new dessert. It is perfect. Not too sweet and goes well with milk tea. My son got the taro milk tea. It is creamy and rich. This shop is a great place to hang out with friends. We need this kind of boba place that is own by local. I'll definitely come back to support local business read more

Boba Baar - Cookie butter tiramisu cup - Bubble Tea Near Me - Garden City, New York

Cute little shop that has boba teas, boba paraphernalia, games, toys (for purchase), seating, and is right next to the Brooklyn Dumpling House. The atmosphere is calm and casual and the bartender is helpful when deciding what to get. They do have a screen menu, but you can also order at the register towards the back if you're paying cash. The price is average for the boba teas and it can get pricey with more add-ons selected. I've never had any issues with ordering a boba tea or other beverage and they do pair nicely with the dumplings next door! Happy Sips! read more

Great comfy and fun space for bubble tea. Service is perfect they are nice and friendly. Kiosk is easy to use for ordering. Watermelon slush 8/10 It really does taste and look like watermelon so I give them credit for that. It's refreshing. Flavor could be stronger though because there is a lot of ice. I would order it again. Brown sugar boba 7/10 It's ok. 50% sugar is good enough. The milk and sugar combo is fine. The boba is a little too chewy. I don't taste tea flavor. read more

This spot is such a vibe. Came in for a quick refresher and ended up staying way longer than planned--because not only is the boba (shoutout to that Lemonade Slush ), but the whole place is just straight-up cool. They've got comfy seating, fun games, and that Porsche wall? Yeah, had to take a pic. Whether you're cooling off in the summer or just need a chill hangout spot, this place hits. 10/10 would sip, chill, and repeat. read more

I've been here a few times and I've had the taro slush and the hot masala chai. Both were absolutely phenomenal and the icing on the cake is they have lactose free milk! It's so rare to find a location with milk options and it's great since I'm lactose intolerant. The staff are great and very friendly. The vibes are cozy, with an old school arcade game, foosball table, and comfy seating. It's more of a cafe meets boba spot. 10/10 recommend and I will definitely be back again in the future. read more

The Boba Bar is a dope new spot. It recently opened about 3 months ago. The lounge area is really cute & their boba was really good. I got the tropical fruit boba with 50% sugar I'll get 75% next time but it was good. The brown sugar boba was really good my niece & nephew liked it. The service was good, while we wait there's a mortal kombat game & foosball that can be played in the waiting area. read more

I needed a Pick Me Up before I went to class and came to Boba Baar for the first time. I ordered the thai boba with very little sugar, and it was absolutely delicious! The gentleman who assisted was also extremely friendly and welcoming! My thai boba got me through class and looking forward to returning. read more

Great boba spot in a great location with lots of parking. The brown sugar boba was delicious, 50% sugar is enough for me. Got a lemonade with popping boba for the kids and they loved it. The ordering system is SO easy compared to other places and they are incredibly fast. The inside is clean and cute with games, a coffee table / foosball hybrid, an arcade game. They seem to have their operations down, I hope they do well and stick around. read more

I wanted a sweet treat yesterday and stumbled across this awesome shop Boba Baar. It was pouring rain and upon entry the shop was warm, inviting, and smelled sweet. They had table games and board games. Very cozy. I began to order on the iPad system they had but then had a few questions and ended up ordering with the cashier. I order a strawberry shortcake drink. When I tell you I was in heaven. Very first sip was a burst of flavor! It wasn't obnoxiously sweet and the flavor was balanced. I never finished a desert drink so fast. Service was amazing, attendant was friendly, and the overall vibe was great. I would definitely recommend the Boba Baar! read more

The tea here is great! I came here again after trying it once last month. I especially liked the Thai tea which I heard is not made from powder, and I would definitely order again. Passion fruit green tea is my usual go-to order at boba places, and this one was also very fresh. The atmosphere here is really fun. It feels like a fun hang out spot with the Mortal Kombat arcade machine, foosball table, and the anime playing on the wall. One of the owners was working today, and he was super friendly. I can tell he is really passionate about bubble tea! I am a fellow bubble tea enthusiast so it was fun talking about what other places I have tried or drinks I order. I also do not drink coffee so I am glad that there are more tea options opening up around town. The service was great. I cannot recommend enough! read more

This boba place just opened and I have to say it's the best iced matcha latte I've had. I got the sweet cream matcha latte with 30% ice and it was phenomenal. The owner and staff were so caring and friendly:) Great place to sit down and chill with friends( they got a low foosball table you can play with!). I'm definitely dropping by whenever I got time on my hands. I heard from other people that the brown sugar special is great. read more

Some of the best brown sugar bubble tea I've ever had! Plus the customer service is great, extremely nice.

This is the best Boba place the drinks is so good the place is really modern and really clean

The beautiful and comfy interior is only made better by the wonderful service and conversation I experienced. I wish I had taken a picture so you could understand how nice of a hangout spot it is, but I guess you'll have to check it out yourself. I got the Green tea and pineapple fruit tea with strawberry popping balls and I loved it. It was a great price especially for boba which has been getting expensive lately and if you go now I believe they're offering a discount. The owner I spoke to was so kind and motivated, they've been planning this for over a year! The barista who made my drink was very kind as well. One of the other owners came in as I was leaving and again so kind. It's a spectacular feeling being able to go into a place and feel like you belong, especially with the ambient lighting making it feel like a hug when you walk in. It's clear how knowledgeable they are and how much care they put into each product. Check it out, support your small businesses, and while you're at it go to the dumpling place right next door. Bring your friends! read more
