It's an amazing place, cute interior with great customer service and nice music playing in the background

My FAVORITE boba in all of Portland area (and I've tried over 15 boba places). Their drinks are consistently amazing. They have a fun rotating menu but also all the classic favorites. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BobaTale! read more

Very cute boba tea spot with a tiny outdoor seating area. It was very hot inside the tea house and they didn't have speakers outside so I had to keep going in to ask if they called my order yet. Other than that, the ordering was easy (iPad) and there were lots of adorable things (stickers, bags, random tchotchke) to buy aside from the teas and snacks. There were about 4 people before me, so my order took a little while to receive even though I only got one Boba tea. Cute spot but they definitely need an A/C unit installed inside. read more

Boba was a good texture not hard and now too chewy , drinks was well balanced , I had an Thai tea with egg . Not a fan of self order kiosk but it works. Enough tables to work at maybe study at? The coffee banana plate looked really good , definitely getting that next time. read more

This was such a cute spot! The whole facade of the building has a super cozy, almost woodland vibe. Inside, there is soft lighting and the smell of waffles. There's a little mercy stand to the side of the register, and a neon light photo op for those interested. Altogether, a very pleasant location. They do make you order on iPads, which I absolutely hate, but I know that many people don't mind. The menu is pretty large and very customizable-- you can make alterations to the milk, the sweetness, etc. I appreciated being able to get almond milk, and my partner said he much preferred the half sweet drink. I ended up choosing the Strawberry Milk Tea with tapioca pearls. It was very sweet, which was a plus for me but others may want to cut it down a bit. My partner ordered one of their special brown sugar drinks, and he said it was excellent. There was not much seating, but we took ours to-go so it wasn't an issue. I will definitely return, if only to try the waffles! They smelled amazing, but we didn't have the chance to taste. read more

This is for BoBaTaLe Tea House (1411 NE Broadway, Portland, OR 97232). I searched for "BoBaTaLe Tea House," but this was the only result that popped up, so I didn't realize the name was actually different. ‼Bobacat Tea House (1924 SW Broadway, Portland, OR 97201) and BoBaTaLe Tea House seem like two different shops on google maps, but somehow this app mixed them together. I dont know what's going on here. My first time trying boba tea in Portland! Portland is a somewhat white city to me and I was a bit worried about the authenticity of the boba. But I saw this cute shop with a 4.9 out of 5 rating on google map, so I had to try it. The moment I stepped inside, I immediately smelled the warm brown sugar scent. Ordering at the kiosk made customizing my drink so much easier, very introvert friendly! We got the Bobatale milk tea and the Assam milk tea, both with less sugar. We also tried the matcha boba waffle. In short, all were good. I swapped the Bobatale milk tea for oat milk and added cream cheese on top. The boba was perfectly cooked, not slimy or undercooked, and had a light sweetness. The milk tea was on the lighter side, probably because of the oat milk. The less sugar level is perfect for me, sweet enough to enjoy as a treat after hike, but not so sugary that it overpowered the tea flavor. The matcha waffle was honestly better than I expected. It wasn't too sweet, the outside was nicely crunchy, and it didn't leave any grease on my fingers. read more

3.5 / 5 stars This location is now called BoBaTale Tea house. It is garden level so it is a few steps down from the sidewalk by steps. Not handicap accessible/no ramp in the front. The interior is really cozy and soft lighting. There are tables and benches both inside and out, or you can grab-and-go. There are self-order kiosks as well as a counter to order at. The menu is really large with a variety of classic, specialty, and seasonal offerings plus many differing toppings. Pros are that you can customize multiple ice levels and sweetness/sugar levels of your drinks, and the tea was flavorful. Con is that the if you want to add or change anything it's a significant upcharge. Adding boba was $1. Almond milk was $1. What started as a $5.75 Assam black milk tea with no cream cheese topping ended up being $9 which is a lot for a bubble tea treat. read more

Consistently good drinks, specifically their fruit teas. Order through a tablet upon arrival. I love this method (especially on those anti-social days) PLUS it means the bobaristas can fully focus on making drinks which means quicker service. Cute, aesthetic place, with limited seating. The ceilings are a little low if you're being picky but overall a nice ambiance to enjoy a drink. Vast menu with many options, including seasonal offerings. Located on a street with various other restaurants and dessert options. read more

Had a few options for boba but honestly went with Bobacat because of the cute name and logo. I saw the cups at the other location and liked them but was slightly bummed that they use a different logo here. Regardless, was pretty happy with the drinks. Ordered a few for the kids who enjoyed them but opted for their specialty Bobacat myself. Bobacat Milk Tea - classic black milk tea. Creamy with the sea salt foam and higher ratio of milk. Tea was present but not strong. Solid boba with good flavor and a strong chew. Safe choice for a basic boba drinker but nothing spectacular compared to typical classic or house milk teas. read more

BobaTale Tea House - Bobacat Milk Tea - Waffles Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Bonus: free 1-2 hours street parking, nice and roomy coverage for outdoor space, plenty of eateries on the same street and walking distance. Pros: drinks starting at $4.75 with no topping which is cheaper than most boba tea places. Friendly services! Extensive selection of topping and quick snacks. Cons: topping is $1.00 each with much smaller portions than usual boba tea places I have been frequent. The waffle also is smaller than normal. I got the coconut waffle, $6.25. I was told all waffles have vanilla base then added flavors of whatever they offer. I barely tasted the coconut flakes flavor; I wished it was more flavorful and tastier. P.Y. Provides toilet seat covers! read more

Assam Black Milk Tea Taste: Tastes as usual. Just like regular milk tea. Nothing fancy. Refreshing. The amount is good for the price. Boba: Good amount of boba. Tastes good too. Perfect sweetness. read more

BobaTale Tea House - Assam Black Milk Tea - Waffles Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My kids like boba, I am somewhat reluctant fan. I will go if they really want to but not really my scene. I did enjoy this place, very close to some of the other places I go to. I liked the inside vibe, kind of warm and woodsy with cats. The staff was pleasant and I enjoyed the boba I got, assam milk tea with brown sugar jelly. I wish they had other milk besides whole but that's just my lactose intolerant self talking and could have ordered the alternative milks. Cute place, would go again. And the name is no longer Bobacat? Their sign said Boba Tale. read more

I absolutely loved the option to do no sweetener in the drinks! The honey citron ginger tea with grass jelly was soooo perfect for me & seriously my dream drink. The buns were just OK but even an OK bun is really good! I loved the chill atmosphere and the light wood color seating area as well. You order on a kiosk and then your drink comes out at the counter but the ladies behind the service were very friendly and still spoke even though they didn't have to. read more

boba tea was fine. I take issue with the fact that I had to order from a kiosk set up in front of the counter while there was an emplyee standing right there behind the counter. It was much harder to navigate the kiosk options than it would have been to say: "Hi! I'd like a thai tea, whole milk, half sweet with boba." read more

It was very comfy and cozy the Boba is great in general this deserves a five-stars i would definitely come here again the snacks are also great i loved it they tasted really good. read more

BobaTale Tea House - The cheese pull on this was amazing! - Waffles Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Drinks were excellent, toppings were all the perfect texture, however, the drinks run sweet. I've been here a few times now. The store recently rebranded to be "bobatale" instead of "bobacat" but all the drinks still remain the same. Really cute space, located next to my favorite Thai restaurant as an added bonus. There are limited inside and outside seating as well as a bathroom inside. The store is kept clean and ordering is through an iPad. In my opinion, the drinks are quite pricey compared to other places but they seem consistent with their quality. My drinks always come out pretty fast, about 2-5 minutes after ordering. Just make sure you adjust the sweetness level though. read more

BobaTale Tea House - Strawberry Fresh Milk, Decaf Taro on Cloud Slushy - Waffles Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Bobcat did not show up prominently in my first search for a place to get coffee or tea in the vicinity. We happened to walk past it on our way to a "chain coffeehouse," and we decided we'd rather patronize this business. The interior is small but with enough tables and chairs inside (and a few chairs outside) to accommodate folk. The decor is cute and, well, catty. Ordering at one of their kiosks is very easy. The drinks are reasonably priced, though I felt that the water based drinks are slightly better than the milk based ones (like my Thai tea, though it was indeed delicious). We also got some custard buns on which to snack, those were fresh and delicious. This is a great alternative to the chain coffeehouses surrounding the place. read more

Cute cat themed boba place with quality tea and flexible ice and sweetness adjustments. The ambiance is cozy and comfortable where you could sit relax or get work done. Drink selection wise is pretty basic but gets the job done with consistently good chewy boba. If you are in the area and need a pick me up, definitely a great place to go and get a drink. read more

Bobacat is one of the best tea shops in Portland. This is one of their two locations. I really like the seating and cat art at this location. The tea is always so delicious and there's a lot of care and thought into the preparation of their drinks. My personal favorite is an oolong milk tea with lychee jelly and egg pudding at 50 percent sweet. It's great that there are delicious decaf options available as well. Overall, I like Bobacat Tea House and I highly recommend their tea. read more

Boba Tea is great. The boba was soft and yummy. Their bubble waffle was off and a little burned. If you add 1 scoop of ice cream, it gets a little pricey like doubled the price read more

this shop has such a cute and cozy vibe ! it's so inviting with the warm lighting inside and outside. we both got a biscoff black milk tea which were so delicious ! we enjoyed the little biscoff cookie crumbles and always fiend for a cheese foam topping (especially if its a little salty). their boba was also so tasty, warm, fresh and such a good texture ! read more

My friends and I checked them out during their soft opening. Their drinks are very good! I ordered a Jasmine Milk Tea both visits. It's sweet, milky and yummy! I also love bubble waffles so I'm so happy they offer it here. They're crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They seem to only have one waffle machine so it does take about 5-10mins for them to make it. The place is very clean and the staff is also friendly and polite. Parking is a bit hard to find but it's worth it to come and enjoy their drinks, food and atmosphere. read more

I was grabbing dinner near by and saw this place on the walk back to my car, which was a pleasant surprise. My go-to is always a jasmine milk tea with boba no matter where I go and the option here did not disappoint! I was able to customize the milk, toppings and sweetness level, and ended up with a delicious jasmine milk tea with black boba and oat milk. I came in close to when they were closing but the staff was friendly, accommodating and didn't make me feel rushed to get out of the door. The space was bright and clean, and of course, smelled great! This was an unexpected find and I'm glad to have a good boba spot in NE. read more

Great service great product. So very many choices! Nice places to sit both inside and outside.

I was really excited to finally try out this Bobacat location as the downtown one is my favorite bubble tea shop in all of Portland! This location had more seating and was warmer inside so it felt more inviting to sit down and enjoy - usually at the other location I just do carry out. That being said, I order the same drink every time and it wasn't quite as good as the other location. It may have been an off day so I am open to going again. Especially because their not-as-good-as-usual drink is STILL tenfold better than most other bubble tea places. read more

Best boba in Portland. 10/10 service and drinks! The vibe is super cute, I love the matcha!

This is my favorite boba place. Great tea, cute bags and the boba is always cooked well. Really consistent quality.
