I really like this boba spot. It might also be the only one in Germantown I believe. They have a variety of drinks and really good toppings. Unsure if they use real tea for certain drinks though. Everyone who works there is friendly and welcoming. I got a little carried away and ended up going everyone for like a week bc of how good it is lol I limit myself to once a week now. Current favorite drinks are the honeydew milk tea with regular bo, and the kumquat winter melon with lychee jelly. read more

My daughter's talked me into trying Boba milk tea. Im glad they did, this is actually pretty amazing! I had thr brown sugar Boba milk tea. Boba is like big tapioca balls if it had to guess. Its super refreshing and the chew is nice. This place was very clean and inviting. Nice seating areas indoor. I recommend trying this if youve never had it. read more

They utilize the space well. The service was quick and they got the in right away. I ordered the flower green tea with cream cheese foam and boba (50% sweet and ice). The drink was still too sweet for my liking but overall nice place to try. read more

Amazing atmosphere, owner is Taiwanese and he is really nice! Bubble tea was delicious. I ordered a brown milk tea milk foam cap.

I love this BobaPop location because the staff is super nice and welcoming! If you can't decide on a drink, they make suggestions and explain the menu to you. The drinks are delicious as well. I tried the cheese foam for the first time in a taro slush drink and it was so good! It tasted like Ube cheesecake. I also like how they have different fundraisers supporting the local community. Highly recommend checking out this place. It definitely feels like a neighborhood boba shop even though it's a chain. read more

I wanted to try this boba bar near my work so put in an order on their website for pick up and headed out the door. Got the mango madness drink with crystal boba and thai milk tea to try. Ended up staying in the store for a long time as they were figuring out how to make the drinks. I think the person I got was still training as I saw her remake both drinks multiple times. Unfortunately when I received them, one of the drinks was not properly mixed (you can visually see the layers separating between the boba, mango pieces, water and then the milk tea mixture curdling). It barely had any mango flavor. The thai milk tea had a strong cinnamon flavor which was odd. It tasted like horchata which was fine since I do like horchata. Overall, unhappy with the drinks and the time + money wasted. Would not return. read more

My bf and I have been many times and I love this spot for boba. I think this far the honey oolong milk tea drink has to be my favorite so far as it's sweet but not overbearing (my opinion). The service is always good and the ambiance is cute with little places to sit. If you're into boba and you're in the area I'd recommend this place :) read more

absolutely love this place. The staff is always friendly and even offers advice or suggestions. Due to their extensive menu it's nice to have feedback on popular items.

Friday 12/8/2023 I had first tried boba tea at some spot sometime back in 2020 or 2021 and what I could remember was not really being into it. I decided to try boba again after getting recommended this spot. I got a large chocolate Oreo slushie ($6.50) and a large taro milk tea with bobas ($7.25). The taro milk tea was pretty good but I was not a fan of the bobas (I just don't like their texture). The chocolate Oreo slushie was okay but I wouldn't get it again and that's mainly due to the high price for the drink + I would much rather prefer a milkshake for that cost/taste. All in all, my boba pop experience was alright but the drinks are NOT worth the near 7$ price tag for a single drink but that's just me. read more

As soon as you step through the door of BobaPop Tea Bar, you can smell a mix of tea and sugar permeating the air, emblematic of a great boba shop. They make each drink to order, some going through a special tea bag infusing, cup shaking machine, some being hand brewed and mixed. It takes longer than most boba shops to make a drink, but the wait is worth it. As it was getting late in the day, we decided to only get a single drink on our visit. Four Seasons Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sweet, 50% Ice w/ Boba ($6.75) - The tea taste comes out very well. This is a very smooth, floral and fragrant oolong type tea. 50% sweet was perfect for the drink, especially if you want to be able to taste the tea. The boba was good but not great. Based on the texture, I believe they soak the boba in honey. This creates a very nice and chewy exterior, with a slightly firmer interior. The boba here is slightly harder than a perfectly cooked one but this is really a minor nitpick for an excellent drink. The main issue is that the paper straws they use are really bad quality. By the time you are half way through through the drink, the bottom half of the straw has disintegrated and pieces of paper start sloughing off the straw. Be prepared to start having to drink small pieces of paper. Bleh, completely ruins the drink. I realize this is because of government regulation, but I'd honestly pay more for the drink if they provided bamboo or corn straws or some other alternative instead of these nasty paper straws. That's really the main thing bringing my rating down from a 5. read more

Drinks were good. Mine was a bit sweet and that was at 50% sugar, but I liked that you could adjust to your taste. Came in at a busy time so the place was super noisy and loud. I had planned to enjoy my drink inside cause the seating area looked nice but it was just too loud from all the machines. The 3q was missing the herbal jelly and one of the servers was nice enough to add it into the drink. Overall, my little medium sized drink came to $8 which is definitely overpriced in my opinion. I love boba but with these prices I'm gonna have to stop getting them read more

After having tried almost every boba place nearby and even working at a boba shop for several years, I can honestly say that BobaPop is the one spot that I can consistently rely on to always provide me with high-quality delicious bubble tea. Their teas are all so fresh and their black pearls have just the right amount of chew and sweetness. I also love that they carry a wide selection of unique teas and flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. While my usual order is always rotating (from Sunrise to Grapefruit Guava to Strawberry Skies to now the Flower Green milk tea), I can always expect a good experience, especially at a price that doesn't break the bank. I cannot rave enough about this place and am grateful to have it in the area (although it's become dangerously tempting). read more

I left a review last year, but I had to give another. The people who work there are (thank God) so sweet, and patient when I was ordering something different from what I usually ordered (i usually get a salted caramel - I wanted something summery and went for the sunrise tea, HIGHLY recommend, it tastes like joy and a melted popsicle). The girl who took my order was super sweet and patient with all my questions and I'll definitely be an eternally returning customer And they STILL remembered us - giving us plastic straws (with all the customers they have Im pleasantly surprised they remember that ) read more

Great tea with a ton of flavor options. Super knowledgeable and friendly staff absolutely recommend this place for a yummy treat!

Food, Service and Ambiance were fantastic. The quality of the ingredients showed through. The flavor of each tea caters to a vast population. read more

BoBaPop offers really tasty boba! It's one of the better ones around the DMV. Though the boba pearls were soft, chewy and squishy, some of them were kind of hard in the center. Still overall delicious, though, and the Thai tea flavor was really good! I liked the toppings in the 3Q milk tea, too. Service at this location was really nice. The ambiance was cute and fresh. Check out BoBaPop if you're in the area! read more

BobaPop Tea Bar - Germantown - 3Q Milk Tea and Thai Milk Tea (with boba pearls) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Germantown, Maryland

LOVE IT! I'm not a Boba person, well at least I wasn't, until I found this place. My daughter is obsessed with Boba Tea and has tried pretty much all the other Boba places (Yo Bubble, KungFu Tea, Monster Tea). I've tasted her drinks in the past and haven't really liked any of them. Once she tried this place, we both settled on some of our favorite drinks. We've been there literally every other day the last two weeks LOL. They have a punch card (get 10 punches for a free drink). They don't advertise it, but I asked and they gave me one, so be sure to ask for a card. They are really friendly and will explain your options and also let you try the bubbles. They let you customize the amount of Ice, the amount of sweetness, type of milk (regular whole, oatmilk, lactose free), and the toppings. They have black pearls, white pearls, as well as fruit bubbles and pudding and other toppings. We haven't tried the puddings yet. My daughter says their black pearls aren't nearly as strong as some other places. I really like them. I know some places they can have a strong licorice taste (which I personally hate), so I love the mild flavor of these. If you like them strong, then you may not like these as much. Our favorites so far: 1) Taro Milk Tea (I go 30% sugar, regular ice, regular milk and black pearls - I'm new to Boba in general and don't like things too sweet, this has been my favorite) 2) Brown Sugar Latte (my daughter's favorite - with lactose free milk and regular ice and sugar and black pearls) 3) Sunrise Fruit Tea (daughter's other favorite - it's passionfruit and strawberry - we go 50% sugar, regular ice, black Boba). The fruit teas are really flavorful and delicious. The raspberry tea was good too. Our first try on that was at regular ice/sugar (which is 100%) and it was WAY too sweet. I suggest trying the fruit teas at 50 or 30% sweetness unless you like things super sweet. They also have slushes with a preset sweetness level. Yea so - I guess I'm now a Boba convert - LOVE IT! Give them a try. They don't' have an app, but they do have a website and you can order online through the app. There are 3 locations also. We go to the Germantown one. read more

This use to be August32 and they have some of the fixtures from August32. They now have walls for taking photos and more spaced out seating so you can feel safe inside the store while sipping on some bubble tea. The offerings here are pretty similar to other locations so nothing too dramatically different, but it's always welcomed to have a bubble tea spot that is clean inside and can customize quickly based on your needs. I did like their tea and their lower sugar drinks so I give it my thumbs up. I generally do not go for toppings because of the sugar content. I do see myself coming back here as there are just so many options for eating here and since I come here often, bubble tea just ends up being a take out order read more

I'm so happy there's another boba place other than Kung Fu Tea in Germantown!! I literally got 3 bobas because the flavors here are unique and I had to give them a try (will do a review for each one below) Winter melon milk tea -- 4/5 I would say this is a step up from Kung fu tea for sure but I think I need to adjust the sweetness level next time since I got 100% sugar and it was a bit too sweet Japanese brown rice FRESH tea -- 5/5 if you're not too much into sweets and are lactose intolerant, this is the drink for you!!!! I got 100% sweetness level but it wasn't overwhelming or anything. I feel healthy and cleansed after drinking it literally. Japanese brown rice MILK TEA -- 5/5 This was by far my favorite out of the 3 I ordered!!! It's honestly such a unique flavor that no other place else carries. I thought the fresh tea version was already good itself but the milk version is even BETTER in my opinion! I can't even begin to describe the flavor, but if I could I would say somewhere along the lines it tastes like a subtle floral milk tea that's not too heavy on the milk. This might honestly be my new go to favorite milk tea now!! read more

BobaPop Tea Bar - Germantown - Bubble Tea Near Me - Germantown, Maryland

Looking for authentic bubble tea that tastes like tea? BobaPop is IT! I'm so excited there's one near me. I love other boba places, but bobapop really shines with its tea. I recently stopped by and got their bobapop milk tea with bubbles, 70% ice, and 70% sugar. It was delicious, though borderline sweeter than I'd like, so I'll probably try 50% sugar next time. Definitely like the customization options, and received my order really quick! The staff were really friendly, and the interior was clean. The decor was simple and calm, and I can totally see myself hang out there with friends. It's by the Germantown town center area, so there's plenty of street parking and small parking lots tucked behind shops. There are many shops and eatery in the area, and bubble tea is always a good after-dinner drink ;) read more

I've heard about their Gaithersburg location from my co-workers and was told I should definitely check out this place and I don't regret it! This one is located in the same spot that August 32 used to be and some of the tables/chairs remained, but the change in color and decor is really cute. They even had cute little table markers!! I ordered the oolong lychee and the Oreo slush, and they both tasted great. The oolong lychee was refreshing and had a whole lychee in it, the Oreo slush was surprisingly really good. I say surprising because I don't normally like Oreo slushes from many of the bubble tea places I go to. The only topping I got was brown sugar boba, which were very different than other places. The cashier made us aware of it before she let us add it, and handed us a little sampler cup to try so that we knew what we were getting before being confused. I'm glad she did that, because I liked this more than regular boba, it had a more jelly like texture and wasn't as chewy. read more

We really prefer this boba place over the others in our area. The prices are slightly higher but the boba itself I think is way better. We also appreciate that you can get something that doesn't taste like a total sugar bomb here. And when you ask for 50% or less for ice, they pay attention. I just don't give it a full 5 stars because when it's busy, the wait gets super long so it's hard to just pop in when you don't plan ahead. read more

My all time favorite boba place now! Important to note that their brown sugar pearls use Konjac jelly and not tapioca, so I'd recommend the black pearls. My favorite is the brown sugar latte, but I also love the signature MT and the Korean Banana Milk! Would recommend and can't wait to work my way through their menu. read more

On Friday last week, I waa attending a meeting conference and I parked my car far from the event due to limited parking and had to walk but was feeling so tasty and exhausted that evening and so I went to the "Panda Express" Germantown which is close to the event venue to ask for a cup of water, the young man at the counter said, "we don't give water for free here",it's $2 for a cup of water. This was a big surprise because every restaurant all over will gladly give you a cup of water.... "Water is and should be free!!" Then I walked to the BobaPop Tea Bar, next door to the Panda Express, I asked for a cup of water, Ms.Beka.. a young customer service lady, gave me a cup of water and with a smile, no questions asked. I am so happy that I had to share this message. Please visit this store and say" thank you for giving L a cup of water, especially when it waa needed. You helped save a life!!

This might be my top 5 favorite places to go get boba! When you walk inside you will see 2 big menus with different varieties of boba flavors. I ordered the brown sugar latte. It took 30 minutes to get one drink! I would never wait this long for some boba but since the drink was so good, It made up the time I wasted. The day I went was really busy so maybe that's why it took so long. Other than that the service was and the the employees were very kind! They also have menus outside of the boba spot so you already know why to order. The inside was very aesthetic! I will definitely go here again! read more

King Fu Tea is still my favorite after going here. The staff was friendly, the place was clean. The drink menu was extensive. The issue I had was my slush was so thick I could barely get it through the straw...which was PAPER so disintegrated and broke in half before my drink was thawed enough to consume. Flavor wise it was spot on but between the texture and the paper straw the experience wasn't awesome. read more

I went to the BobaPop in Kentlands first and fell in love. My sister lives closer to Germantown so I checked out this one when visiting her. Still very impressed with the quality and flavor of their drinks! The Germantown location is more spacious than the Kentlands one with several tables and chairs. My favorite drink is the Yin & Yang, which is a combination of milk pudding and herbal jelly in milk tea - I usually get 30% sugar. The balance of the tea, milk, and sweetness is perfect for me. Other places can have way too much milk taste or the tea is too strong. Easy to order online - they text you when it's ready so you don't have to guess and they keep the order in the fridge until you arrive so it stays chilled! read more

The store is so cute inside and there's a lot of flavor options. I ordered a chocolate Oreo slush but the ice wasn't blended properly (minus the 1 star). Some of the ice pieces were chunky while sipping through the straw. They've only been open less than a week so I understand they have to work out the kinks. I'll definitely go back to try another drink. It's a great addition to the neighborhood. read more
