I was craving boba again. After a quick Target run, I was glad to find Boba Tealight on Yelp! It's in the same shopping center and literally a short walk away! I walked in to one patron waiting in his order. The man behind the counter handed it to him and there I was, alone in a new boba shop. I was glad to see they had food, not just drinks, because I skipped lunch and was hangry. The employee was nice and patient with me when I said I didn't know what I wanted yet. I then looked over the menu options and decided on the Drago Lychee Tea with Black Boba and a Char Siu Banh Mi. I was glad he asked if I wanted it spicy because I said no, so he left out the jalapeños. =) For $7, I gotta say that sammich was a good deal! It was filling and although the bread seemed a bit stale, it was still a good banh mi. The drink was good as well, and I'm glad you have the option to make it less sweet and with less ice. 50% sweet was still pretty sweet, so next time I'll try 25%. Boba Tealight came in clutch and I'll definitely be back. There's a few high top 2-seater tables inside as well as seating right outside. Lots of parking in the shopping center. It's clean and would be a casual spot for a quick snack with friends. See ya next time, Boba Tealight! read more

The best boba place so far that I've tried in the area, for the service, cleanliness/environment and varied drink options. Today we ordered a drago fruit boba and a traditional milk tea boba. They offer the varying sweetness and ice levels. Even at 25%, the drago was pretty sweet. They also have slushes, coffee, mojitos and finger foods. And for those who forget how to order, they have a handy sheet right by the cashier. They have some very used games in the back. Buy 10 drinks, get one free. read more

I came in and was greeted by the staff. I appreciate that they offer a sign to help you place your order. Boba is new for me and I have tried a few milk tea flavors. I came in to fulfill my taro milk tea craving and it was delicious! The milk tea tasted rich in flavor and the boba had a good texture. You can choose your level of sweetness and ice. Boba Tealight is clean, offers a few games and has several countertops seating and one table. I ordered a large taro flavored milk tea at $5.50 (they charge an additional .50 for a large cup) and black boba for .75. Total was $7.28. I noticed their pricing has been updated. I had a great experience, enjoyed my drink and would come back again. read more

Cute place! There are multiple options for milk teas, flavored milk, teas, fruity drinks and food. I got the honey milk tea at 75% sweetness. It was still a little too sweet for me, but I guess I should've realized that the honey would make it sweeter, so that's on me. The worker was very nice and was working really hard to keep up with the line. This place is cute because they have claw machine machines in the back. read more

Been here before but this last time was special. Their employee Dino was so helpful and patient with me and the questions I had. She even wrote down my drink because we made changes to it so she wrote it down so that next time I can request the same drink without issues. It was my first time trying Vietnamese coffee and she taught me a lot about it. Google wouldn't let me add a review for whatever reason so I wanted to post on here because I want Dino to know she made my experience there memorable and pleasant. Thank you! read more

We all needed some caffeine today while we were in Gilbert and randomly chose this Boba spot, Boba Tealight @bobatealight. This turned out to be an extremely happy accident because this little snack stop was the highlight of our day. We were greeted warmly by the owner who took down our order with meticulous detail. He wanted to get the sweetness right on my Matcha milk tea so badly that he called me up and provided me with a little sample cup of the 25% sweet I had requested and asked if this was sweet enough for me. It was, and moments later my drink was ready. We sat at a table and picked a game of Uno from the game shelf in the seating area near a claw machine for stuffed toys and prizes. As we played, we enjoyed our drinks and snacks. We ordered: - Hot Matcha Milk Tea (25% sweet) - Iced Taro Milk Tea (100% sweet, 25% ice) - Iced Vietnamese Boba Coffee (100% sweet, 100% ice) - Fried Chicken Dumplings (6 piece) with Sweet Chili Sauce These chicken dumplings really hit the spot and I loved the sweet chili sauce. The owner came out of the kitchen and asked how we had enjoyed our drinks and we told him they were very good. I asked what he had put in my hot Matcha milk tea to make it taste so good. It had a floral and honey taste to the earthiness that was so delicious. He said that this was simply high-quality Matcha and nothing additional was added for flavoring. We had such fun, laughing and playing Uno and enjoying our drinks that I could've stayed there much longer. My daughter said the Vietnamese coffee was the good kind and nice and strong. There is a gender neutral restroom in the back for customers and a few high tables and chairs and a low table that seats four. I'm so grateful that this pleasant little café exists. read more

Bubble tea spot serving small snacks, including banh mi! Located between Target and Ross, prices are on par with bubble tea spots in the valley ($4-6 from S/L sizes, toppings $0.50-$1). I do like how they have a large variety of toppings outside the typical black boba, such as egg pudding, aloe vera, three types of cheese foam, and more. Lots of milk tea, fruit tea, fresh tea, coffee, galaxy tea (layers drinks with the color-changing butterfly pea tea), specialty drinks, and even NA mojitos for the non-caffeine drinkers. Friendly and patient staff as we browsed the comprehensive menu. I got the mung bean milk tea, which was surprisingly very good! Great choice if you like mung bean - a thicker drink because they blend cooked mung beans, and mix in sweeteners after. Also got a grilled pork banh mi as a little snack - this was alright, not super stuffed, but fresh ingredients. Our group of 3 paid ~$35 for three drinks and three $5.99 banh mis, which wasn't bad. They have a variety of board games and card games if you want to hang out. Also have a few mini claw machines if you want to try your luck for $1+. We stayed around to play a board/card game. Not too much seating, but we sat at a bar height table while we munched and played. read more

Love this place so much! Their boba is so good, I loved how I could taste the tea, yet it's creamy and their boba is perfectly cooked and chewy and soft! And popcorn chicken is so good! Good amount, crispy outside, chewy inside, and the price is so good! Some places would charge close to $8 while they keep the price pretty good! Located in a mall area, so plenty of parking! So far, one of my favorite boba and snack spots in Gilbert (: read more

Love it when cafes have Vietnamese egg coffee!! I stopped by this boba shop to get work done on a weekday afternoon. and I enjoyed my stay. The shop had kpop playing softly in the background, and there were little claw game machines in the back. The employees seemed like a casual bunch that all got along, and they offered great service. I enjoyed both the banh mi and Vietnamese coffee with egg foam there. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend checking them out. read more

Wonderful customer service and atmosphere! The teas are amazing!! I will be ordering again. Thank you!

Pick up a "too good to good" order. I got 3 tea and one watermelon slushy. Heavy ice and syrup, even the slushy has no real watermelon but artificial watermelon flavor. No fresh fruit, no boba, no topping, no food or no cookie. What a rip off. Bad business. I don't think it worth $21 which too good to go said. The tea are so sweet, I ended up throw away all of it. It taste worse than the tea you buy from Wal-mart. I will never buy again. Don't waste your money. read more

First off, the customer service was A+ here! I love being welcomed and feeling comfortable when I first try a place! I tried three different drinks, the classic milk tea, taro, and matcha milk tea. All with boba and some with cheese foam or other toppings. Overall, I was very impressed! The customization you have to personalize the sweetness and I've levels makes a big difference in my book. Each drink was perfectly sweet and the milk tea drinks were each smooth and had a fresh taste. The boba was sweet and chewy to the perfect point! I've been disappointed with many locations in Arizona, this is definitely one of the top locations for me! Definitely go try the cheese foam, I have it in every drink I order! I hope this business knows how great they are! You're doing a wonder job! Everyone come try, I am very particular about my boba locations! read more

One of my favorite spots in the area for boba! There are endless choices and the tea itself is very delicious and always tastes fresh and of high quality.

I appreciate that they have several snack and lunch items including popcorn chicken, french fries, fried tofu and bahni mi sandwiches in addition to the drinks. Ambiance is chill and there is plenty of seating if you wanted to hang back and relax! read more

There is something wrong with this business concept. It's a milk tea store, but don't have any drinks with actual Milk. No cow milk, oat milk, almond milk, soy milk, rice milk, or coconut milk. Absolutely none. ALL of their "milk" drinks are made with "non-dairy creamer", and since most non-dairy creamers use a brand which the main ingredients is sodium caseinate or calcium caseinate, I was concerned. However, the owner replied to my original review and confirmed that they use a coconut-powder creamer, so I've edited my review to be accurate. The fact remains that they still don't use any sort of Milk in their drinks. It's all processed powder. Second, their most popular drink, the Brown Sugar Milk, does not contain tea. It's not "Brown sugar milk tea", it's just "Brown sugar milk" (with no milk). So just to clarify, this is a milk tea store whose most popular drinks have neither milk, nor tea in them! What!? How about the flavor? It was decent. Clearly artificially flavored. Also, I love sweet flavors and have a much higher tolerance for sweetness than most people, but their 100% default sweetness was sickly sweet by the time the syrup fully dissolved into the water. 40% of the drink was inedible due to this. The tapioca pearls aka "boba" were nicely cooked and soft. However, they were drenched in sweet syrup. So in summary, I paid $6.50 for a large cup of water, CoffeeMate, and brown sugar syrup with tapioca on the bottom. The service: very average. Nothing special like the reviews are clamoring about. I wasn't treated with any extra level of friendliness. It was just "bleh" level service. Would I come back? Definitely not for their fake "milk" and no-tea drinks. I would have to drink one of their fruit beverages, I guess. But I'm not very excited about coming back. The interior wasn't very clean. The clear plastic guard felt like covid era stuff. It was filthy with fingerprints, smudges, goop, and other grossness. They really need to clean that clear plastic wall. There were also boxes stacked in the corner as if the front of house is a storage. The ice chest had its lid wide open for the entire time I was there, so flies, dust and whatever can just drop in to the ice and therefore into your drinks. The staff didn't wear any kind of food prep gloves. They stick their bare hands into the ice chest, powder boxes, and tapioca pearl bin. Unsanitary. Overall, I was extremely underwhelmed. Don't trust the reviews. 95% of them are fake/incentivized. They have a big sign that says "free cookie for Yelp/Google review"... so obviously people are leaving positively-biased reviews just to get a freebie. I mean seriously: who would leave a negative or slightly critical review and then show it to the staff, asking for a free cookie? This is a violation of Yelp's and Google's policy on sponsored reviews... I don't like when companies mess up the honest review system that Yelp is based on! 1 star for the aformenioned reasons. Update after owner's initial reply: I appreciate him clarifying about their creamer, but find it interesting that these other points were ignored. I've updated my review and added another star. read more

I heard this place had Vietnamese egg coffee once and tried it immediately. Let me tell you, it's absolute amazing. If you've never had it before and you're a coffee lover, go get you a nice cup from Boba Tealight. And a hot tip, get another one for tomorrow morning. Might just be, but I think it tastes even better. Anyway, this is my return trip here and my group had the delight of having JL serving us tonight as our bobarista. Dude is flawless at his job, y'all got all stars employed here. I got the Hokkaido coffee this time around, but with that deliciously addictive egg foam on top. It's a different take entirely, BUT it's a scrumdiddlyumptious one. 10/10 would get again read more

Love the online ordering - super simple with appropriate skip logic where they only ask you the questions that apply to your drink. Seems like an obvious thing but weirdly something a lot of boba places get wrong. I ordered the passion fruit mojito at 50% sweetness which was perfect and made for a fun, light drink. I wish it was more carbonated, but that's the only possible negative comment I could scrounge up. My partner ordered the mango smoothie which is exactly as advertised and hit the spot. The popcorn chicken has the right texture in terms of the light crispy batter, but there's too much batter. Feels like 80%+ batter for all the pieces except for maybe 3. Wish there was also more white pepper. Would come back for drinks but not the popcorn chicken. read more

The staff here is really friendly and helped me with a recommendation for the boba I was looking for today! He helped me settle on a honey chrysanthemum tea since I was looking for a decaffeinated drink that is special to this store. I can definitely recommend their chrysanthemum tea listed under their fruit teas! The setting is very chill with some smooth music to keep things relaxed. They keep the temperature a cozy warm setting, which is really nice on a particularly cold day! read more

I was passing by and wanted to get some boba. This place popped up on Yelp and Looked like it was recently opened. When I went in, there were familiar faces behind the counter. Upon checking got to know Rapha and boba tea light was bro sis duo. Cool right! The place had good crowd. I went with okinowa milk Tea 50% sugar and ice. The tea was good but felt the ice was still a little more. The taste was decent not like the best. May be it's still new and things are getting set up. Well, glad I stopped by to get some tea, hoping to go again soon. read more
