    Thai tea, 70% sugar, black pearl boba
    Kimberly T.

    This is my go-to bubble tea place in Kingstowne! The drinks are always fresh, staff is friendly, space is bright and clean. This location offers claw machines and ample seating.

    Found a new bubble tea spot In Kingstowne area! Has ample parking. The shopping center was busy but found parking close to the business. I ordered a wintermelon milk tea online and it was ready when I picked it up in store. The jelly I added was tasty and even at 50% sweetness it was still a little sweeter than my liking. It may have been the jelly too. I enjoyed trying this new flavor and bubble tea spot.

    Best bubble tea in the area. They offer a lot of customization and an expansive topping selection so you can get exactly what you want, exactly how you like it. The boba is smaller than most other shops (which I kind of like) so be mindful of that. They also offer some novel treats/baked goods, as well as seasonal drinks. You can order via the kiosk or at the register. Either way, service is fast and the seating area is always clean and quiet.

    First time trying this shop and I really liked their dog wall art, it adds a fun vibe. The boba tea itself was okay and prices were reasonable, though pearls aren't included in the base price. I got wintermelon milk tea and added crystals and egg pudding, expecting a creamier taste but it didn't and the crystals were also a bit tough. Staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the visit pleasant overall.

    On our first visit on a mid-Saturday afternoon, they had apparently run out of boba. Given the choice between waiting for a new batch to be cooked and ready on about 15 minutes and opting for a different topping, we chose the former. Their green tea was fine, and while the boba surprisingly had a hint of sweetness, they didn't have the characteristic round shape and smaller than expected. Our educated guess is that it was related to the cooking temperature vs duration. In any case, the shop had an airy ambience although there was no other customers and we didn't stick around, either. Service was unremarkable. I hope they continue to improve.

    The black pearl boba is so soft and delicious. It is not very sugary at all. Plenty of tea and slushee flavors. They're typically quick and follows direction of sugar % etc. Staff is not very friendly or welcoming though. But I come here for the boba. They have a cute wall arts and plenty of seating.

    My wife and I stopped in because we were thirsty. I did t expect for the drinks to be that amazing. I wish it was one closer to my house. I forgot the exact name of the drinks we got but the one I had was good for a sore throat. Also, the service was spectacular. I'm not sure if the guy was the owner but he has excellent customer service. I love the drawings on the wall and I love the greetings entering and leaving. Please visit them!

    Ever since BoBaPoP opened up in Kentlands a few years ago, I have been an avid fan. There's so many teas for everyone! There's slushes, milks, fruits, and more. I also like that they have little snacks and desserts too, so it's always a nice grab and go opportunity. There are small games you can play here, and they always have great music playlists! Their teas are always fresh and I absolutely adore the dragonfruit colada (my bf loves the Sunrise)! There's plenty of options that I can constantly select depending on my mood. Stop by to try their delicious teas!

    Great milk teas with roasted Oolong as my favorite. The sunrise fruit tea is perfect for summer and I can't go wrong with their peach slush with cream cheese foam. I will return for peach black or lychee oolong.

    Got to finally try this Bobatea shop as an Elite Yelper! These past couple months have been super stressful and I haven't had much chance to get out to do my normal foodie things, so this was quite a treat. My first time trying Bobapop here in Manchester lakes, glad there is something different other than Kung Fu Tea and Gong Cha around here. The menu itself is a decent size menu, I was intrigued by the mini marshmallows to which I questioned how would I go about sipping those up in a drink without choking or what flavors to share that with. Not your average topping you'd see in a boba shop. Anywho they offered cute little snacks, and some cookie menu that was not in stock when I wanted to try, will have to return. All the flavors of the cookie seemed yummy! I got my medium Dragon Colada with crystal boba and it was so good. I love dragon fruit and pina colada. When I did arrive it was almost 4pm and was the only one in the store, the drink took almost 12 minutes to make. Was in kind of a rush to get to work, and there was two workers who seemed kind of out of it so there was quite a delay. Overall though, I will have to give it another try! The taste was great although there were no "real fruit" additions to my drink! Normally not an artificial taste kind of drinker, but I did enjoy it! Paintings on the wall were adorable!

    Half filled. Notice it's sealed, worst place ever!
    Sam K.

    AWFUL in every way that matters! I tried this place a few times to see if they can get it right, but they can't, so I'm done! First off, their service is incredibly slow. It can take 25-30 minutes, even if no one is there. I can drive to another bubble tea place, pick up an order, and drive back in the time it takes for this place to do anything. But, that's only a part of the problem. Recently ordered a drink with no ice and received a half empty drink! Seriously, half empty! When asked about the rest of it, they indicated that's all you get since there's no ice. In other words, gigantic ripoff! In short, poor service, subpar quality, and poorly priced. I will not go back. There are plenty of options in northern Virginia, and even the worst of them is still better than the experience here. What a waste!

The hostess let me know they had been there for 2 years. it's a small space but cozy to work it. definately not somewhere you want to post up but good if you're going to stop for about an hour or so to do some WFH work. SERVICE: So i've been craving coconut latte or a vanilla latte with coconut milk you'd be surpised to hear that not many cafe's have coconut milk as an option. so i decided to call and the hostess was very kind. when i arrived she realized it was me who had called and made conversation. so very friendly! FOOD: Not fod but i got my vanilla latte in coconut milk and it was exactly what i wanted. not too sweet and i can be sure my stomach won't be upset due to the fact that it's made in coconut milk! love it.

    I ordered a strawberry crepe yesterday, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing…read more The service was poor. I stood at the pickup area for several minutes while three employees were behind the counter. One of them looked directly at me while drinking water but didn't even greet or acknowledge me, and the other two never seemed to notice that someone was waiting. It felt like no one paid attention to customers at the pickup station unless they walked over to the ordering counter. I wasn't helped until another employee came out of the kitchen to assist a different customer. She then went behind the counter, chatted briefly with her coworkers, noticed me waiting, and finally asked if I was picking up an order. The food has also changed. I used to buy the strawberry crepe for my daughter almost every weekend because we loved it. This time, it was soggy and overwhelmingly sweet, with far too much topping and syrup. It no longer has the same quality it used to. The omelet was still decent and about the same as before, but the cappuccino was bland and forgettable. Nothing about it stood out. Based on this visit, I won't be coming back. It's disappointing to see both the service and the quality decline from what used to be one of our favorite places.

We tried three items: the red velvet cake, the mocha cake, and an apple pastry (not sure of the exact name, but it reminded me of an apple turnover/empanada). Let's start with the red velvet cake, so good. Moist, flavorful, and honestly better than I expected. Red velvet is one of those cakes that's easy to mess up, but they executed it perfectly. What impressed me even more is that we bought it right before closing, didn't eat it immediately, and it still tasted amazing hours later even after being refrigerated. The mocha cake was well-made, soft, spongy, and clearly high quality, but it just wasn't for me. It has a strong coffee flavor, so if you're a coffee person, you'll probably love it. For me, it was about a 6/10. Now the real star: the apple pastry. This was everything. Perfectly flaky, lightly crisp on the outside, and filled with fresh, flavorful apples. It melted in your mouth! could've easily eaten multiples of these!! Service was also a highlight. Even though we came in right before closing, the staff was kind, patient, and efficient. Nothing felt rushed, which I really appreciated. The shop itself is cute and quaint. Perfect for a quick stop or a casual treat. Overall, Paris Baguette delivered. Some items may come down to personal preference, but the quality is there. I'd absolutely go back, especially for that red velvet cake and the apple pastry . Sidenote: they also have candles & birthday decor for purchase!
