I haven't been to this joint for a hot minute. There's a Boise Boba conveniently by my house so I always stop at that one before I head downtown. I wanted something sweet to drink this afternoon. The District is my usual go to since they are across the street from me. But they are currently closed for the building remodel so I made me way to Boise Boba. It was later in the afternoon when I stopped in. It was chill. The sweet gal that was working was hanging out. I looked over the menu board to see if there were any new flavor combos I might have missed. I have pretty much tried all their fruity teas and they are all so good. I went with the Berry Nice today. My drink was good as usual, nice and fruity. The lychee jellies are a fun touch to the drink. Baby girl that a working was really sweet. Glad I stopped in today for an afternoon drink. read more

Omg! I love this place sooo much best boba ever the boba was perfectly flavored would come here every day if I could

A decent boba spot. Unfortunately, there's just nothing that can compare to my favorite boba spot in Colorado. I had the coconut dream and as it was good and coconuty, the boba didn't taste like much. read more

Person who took my order was friendly enough. My friend got a strawberry milk tea with strawberry popping boba. I had an iced matcha. Friend did not like their drink. Said it was watery and thin. The matcha was thin as well with a terrible taste. We threw both out. Space inside was decent. read more

DRINKS - Honeydew Milk Tea: the tea was decent. It was a little on the sweet side. We added lychee jelly and boba. 3/5 SERVICE: They initially made our drink wrong. They forgot to add boba and had to remake our drink. The young lady who took our order appeared annoyed. 2/5 FINAL THOUGHT: Probably won't be coming back. The milk tea was okay but the service could have been better. Mistakes happen, don't take it out on the customer. read more

Fun little place right in the heart of downtown Boise serving the young & hip folks boba. Not young and hip? Me neither- took mine to go! I felt much too old to hang around the college crowd. I had the Thai tea boba, it was "good", not great and and not enough ice or boba, but good concentration of tea/sweetness. Definitely a place I'd try again, seems popular too! Quite busy on a weekend afternoon. read more

Coming from the Bay Area, boba sets a high standard elsewhere (except in Taiwan, where it's a given). I was feelin' dessert after lunch, so Boise boba caught my eye. The menu was simple- but flavors and names seemed a bit kitschy. Flavor combos with names like moo moo, jungle escape, bliss (to name a few) were a bit interesting, but I liked the easy to follow menu with the set prices. Want it hot or cold? Blended or iced? Small or large (these also had nicknames)? Any toppings? The nice thing was that toppings had no additional charge. However, when I ordered, they had no more original boba and it took well over 20 minutes to make the drink. Granted, only one person was creating drinks and one person ringing them up- but definitely be prepared to wait if there are others ahead of you. I ordered the moo moo (taro and golden tea) with aloe jelly, and it satisfied my craving. Decent for milk tea/fruity drinks, but there's not much around to compare it to. read more

I went here two days in a row because there isn't a single bubble tea shop in the state I live- and after my second time ordering the gal behind the counter remembered my boba preference! I was shooketh. Boise Boba seems to be the best and most reputable tea shop in the area- small inside but with lovely art on the walls by local talent and with a really chill atmosphere as well. I know some people haven't had the best experience taste wise with BB, but I don't think it's fair to compare this joint to boba's birthplace and places in CA ;p I'm also a taro puritan, but the mixed taro options they had really surprised me. Purple velvet (coconut and taro) and moo moo (black tea and taro) are a must try for any fan of the tasty purple potato! Can't wait to come back! read more

As close to authentic boba as you can get in the greater Boise area. Boasting milk teas, blended, iced, or hot with several flavor & boba options, this little gem might go by unnoticed if you're a passerby. But don't let the unassuming shop front deter you. Inside is a small seating area, a super cool mural depicting the deliciousness boba is and a friendly, helpful staff that will show you the boba way. My favorite flavors are the taro and almond, my teenage daughter loves the mango fruit tea with the poppers. Go for the large size, it's only $1 more for 12 additional ounces of a sweet treat. And for those that haven't tasted the boba, this is a great place for first timers. read more

Boise Boba - Front entrance. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boise, Idaho

My mama LOVES boba, so when she came to town a few weeks back, I knew I had to take her here! We both ordered blended bobas. I got the "purple velvet" and she ordered the lavender. Boise Boba offers multiple options for how you can customize your drink: first you choose what flavor you want, then what size, what type of "bottom" you want (we opted with regular boba), and if you want it blended or iced. So many options! It was a hot day, so we both thought a blended drink sounded nice. In fact, I'd recommend always doing this. Why? Because it slows you down! Every time I order Boba, I drink it within five minutes because it's so dang good and those straws are massive. If it's blended, you gotta slow down...lest you get a brain freeze. Right? Cost was less than $5 per drink, and drinks were ready within 3-ish minutes. Not much to say about the vibe of this place. It is pretty simple in here. What makes this shop shine is their drinks! We didn't stick around to enjoy our boba. Once they were ready, we grabbed them and went on a walk around downtown and enjoyed some sunshine! read more

Boise Boba - Purple velvet blended - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I have no idea how the Boba tastes, but the service is abhorrent. The bathroom does not have a proper lock on it, and I was walked in on by a male customer unassuming since it is a male and female bathroom. When I approached the employees with said issue, they dismissed me and acted like it was no big deal. I would also like to point out that I had to say their names (employees) multiple times to get their attention because they were chitchatting behind the counter, not paying attention to customers. I literally just had a grown ass man see me in my thong and no one batted an eye about it, and the issue was completely dismissed. read more

Coming from Texas and traveling to California often, I wasn't expecting much as we found the store by accident. We were just behind it admiring the art work on the back of building when we saw the store. Seeing that there was a line, it must be good? Well, for the money, this was a total waste. We got 2 large boba drinks. One was taro and the other one had strawberry or some berry taste. Both were ok, but it was just more sugar than flavor. Then there's the boba, which is the signature part of the drink. But they were hard and overly chewy. Ended up finishing the drink and throwing the rest of boba away. Overall, we waited 10 min in line and $ on this place. Again, I wasn't expecting much, but this was worse than expected. Save your money read more

Since my last review I've found more things i absolutely love about this place! *The customer service is phenomenal (most of the time). There's always going to be days when someone isn't having the best day and i understand that. Besides that, the service has been great. Everyone knows who i am, they know my order and they're super kind. Even if i order Uber eats they know it's my order because it's unique (& ordered often lol). *My latest obsession has been the milk teas. Blended or iced. Wow. They're addicting! The fruit teas can sometimes be too sweet, the milk teas are delicious because you can add the poppers which gives you the fruitiness you're craving but not be overpowering. *Overall i love this place. I love that they're so good that it's actually hard to think of a bad remark. You know a place is out of this world when that's the case! read more

Nothing special. Can't taste the tea just flavored syrup. Not worth a visit if you are from the bigger cities.

A++++++!! My daughter, an international Boba competition judge, said off the charts. So, if looking for great boba in Boise, quit looking!!!

Since moving here I've been looking for a boba place and have tried out both locations of Boise Boba. The inside of both locations is your typical boba tea place with tables and chairs and a cute layout. It's very much like a coffee shop. They mostly have ice drinks and hot drinks and four different sinkers you can pick from. Each time I visited I tried the golden tea, which is a black milk tea, with boba. At both locations the boba wasn't great. The center didn't taste cooked all the way through or was cooked too much to the point that you're constantly just chewing. The tea I would rate a 6-7 out of 10. It might be worth for them to offer sweetness levels so that we can customize the flavor to our liking. One time I ordered this drink it was pretty bitter as if there was no sweetener and then the second time it was sweeter but I would probably want it a little bit more sweet. Does the trick to satisfy the craving! read more

Great boba spot the only reason I give it a 4 is because they really don't put much boba but overall great flavor read more

Boise Boba - I got the golden tea witch is the regular milk tea. The flavor was so good - Bubble Tea Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Their hot drink we got I forgot was good. But the cold fruity drink I got was way too sweet like A LOT of syrup. They don't have grass jelly or pudding for toppings and I think all their toppings including boba is from a can. There's better milk tea places out there but when I went I just went to the closest one near me and settled.. read more

Good tea, Boba is fine. A nice little place to grab a tea drink when strolling in downtown

I've been coming to the downtown location for a few years now and have never had a bad experience hence the five starts but today was different. My order was completely forgotten for well over twenty minutes and no compensation nor apology was attempted. They also asked me to repeat my order at least three times and the blended drink I received was significantly more watery than usual. Granted, it was busy but what prompted me to leave the review was that the two employees seemed to be playing around a bit engaging in friendly banter and gossip. I fully understand trying to have a good time on the job, but the priority is the work itself and should be completed before play. Regardless, I still highly recommend and I'm sure it was just an off day. read more

I approve of their fruit drinks! I got two green teas. One of them is Peach Green Tea & the other one is some kind of a berry mixture and I have added huckleberry, it is so refreshing and so delicious. Definitely would come back when I'm on the area! read more

the tea was good the boba was hard and unpleasant:( I remember going a year ago and it was much better,

Really yummy drinks and pretty good service, expect a line during peak hours but you never wait longer than 10 mins or so. Last time I got the Purple Velvet (taro w coconut) and they let me add almond flavor. I usually add boba and aloe jelly. Highly recommend! I love than you can do custom sweetness and choose decaf. Ty for the great drinks read more

From my 10 year old :) This place is really amazing, I got the taro and coconut milk tea, and absolutely loved it! If you like coconut this is a great option. The service was very fast. They absolutely loved are dog. read more

Their Thai milk tea is spectacular! I'll have to try some of their other options, but so far I'm definitely impressed.

A must if you love boba! I had the blended passion fruit with classic boba, and it was so good! It tasted like fresh passion fruit juice. They offer 2 sizes, dozens of flavors, milk tea, fruit tea, or blended teas, and either boba, jellies, or bursts (I think). The setup is simple, the downtown location is convenient, and drinks are excellent! I look forward to drinking my way through the menu. read more

This was delicious! I'd never had boba before and it was great! The wait was a little long for my liking, but I believe it was due to them being understaffed. Was still a great experience, especially for my first time having boba! read more
