Bruu Cafe is my new favorite Boba place in Kansas City area. I've been trying many Boba places around the greater KC area and I like Bruu the best because of their selection, freshness, taste, and seasonal menu items. Bruu is located at a nice environment with relaxing chairs and a fun swing too. We ordered at a Kiosk and received our drinks 5 minutes later. They usually have something new like Butterbeer or Mangos. Favorites so far are the Crème Brûlée Milk Tea and Butterbeer with Crystal Boba. The Butterbeer is just as good as the one at Universal's Wizarding World. Their Milk Bread and Mochi Donut Ball went well with the drinks, we usually order one of their desserts. read more

I came here because of the high Yelp ratings, but honestly, I have no idea how this place earned them. If you're expecting real, quality boba drink--this isn't it. I ordered the matcha green tea cheese macchiato drink, exactly as described on the menu. It came out lukewarm, extremely bitter, and totally unpleasant. I asked if they could add more sugar--it helped a little, but it still tasted nasty. I can taste matcha powder. When I asked if they could remake it or let me switch to another drink, they refused. We also got a Thai tea, and it was little better but that was another letdown. It lacked sweetness and had barely any Thai tea flavor--just a weak, watered-down version of what it should be. Disappointing experience all around. I don't recommend this place if you know what good boba is supposed to taste like. read more

It was my first time visiting this location. It looked small from the outside but it was quite spacious on the inside. I love this location specially because of the ambiance and atmosphere. Upon entering, you order on a kiosk up front. Next, after placing your order you'll receive a receipt with your order along with a number. Then, you're welcome to find a seat at any of the open seating options which are always nice and clean. After that, they'll either call your number or they'll come find you in the dining area and bring you your order! It was a super nice and convenient process and I enjoyed sitting down in the open area and using their free wifi to browse on my laptop and work on some work related projects. In addition, the Taiwan Toast was super delicious and exactly the kind of sweet treat I needed that day to help me focus on my work. Would definitely recommend this place and location specifically if you're looking for a nice treat and good place to hangout. read more

Bruu is a pretty great experience overall! The menu offers a wide variety of drink options, from classic milk teas to creative fruit blends, and there were plenty of toppings to customize your order. All drinks can have their sugar levels adjusted as well. Upon entering, there is a kiosk at the front to order your drinks. The space itself is very open and inviting, with a descent amount of seating. I tried their Pine Berry Earl Grey Bliss and the Thai Iced Coffee. The tea was refreshing and had a good balance of the earl grey and berry flavor. The Thai iced coffee was not bad. Service was fast and friendly! read more

This is a great place to sit with a friend and visit, as the inside is very cute. We ordered a hojicha latte with lychee jelly and the mango black tea with lychee jelly. We ordered both 50% sweet and honestly they were both still pretty sweet. The tea flavor was there in both drinks which I appreciated. The drinks are a little expensive, with two drinks being $19. The service was also very fast. They also have milk alternatives which is great. read more

Located in Overland Park's outdoor plaza, Park's Place, Bruu offers the PERFECT cup of milky goodness. Their royal milk tea with light boba (bubbles) is still my all time favorite. It's been a few since my last review of their grand opening, and I can say after numerous visits, this boba place is still byfar the best in town! read more

Bruù Cafe is so good! I stop by this location whenever I'm near the Leawood Town Center. You order at a kiosk. There are pictures included to give you a better idea on what you're getting if you're not as familiar. The service is always quick. The interior is nicely decorated and well kept. I usually find a spot to sit and sip on my tea for a little while before heading out and taking the rest to go. There's plenty of variety and also seasonal options. I love the Signature Royal Milk Tea. It's amazing and the boba are perfectly soft and chewy! read more

Bruú has become one of my favorite boba spots! It's definitely grown on me over time, and now it's one of my go to's. Their Italian soda options and fruit tea options under "refreshing me" are probably my favorite. I also appreciate how they have a few kid-friendly options that are a smaller size + caffeine free, which I sometimes get if it's later in the evening. All the drinks hit the spot when I need a refreshing, sweet drink. There's only one self-serve kiosk to order from, but the employees are super helpful if there any questions. Love the interior, especially the fun swing and boba plushies. There is a decent amount of seating both indoor and outdoor, and Park Place itself has plenty of benches/seating throughout the area. Really nice location for Bruú! read more

In terms of location and ambiance this place is very cute. It's located in a strip of busy restaurants but is sufficient to find parking easily as there is a parking garage close by too. I got the taro milk tea and got it at 50 percent sweetness. Even at that it was pretty sweet but so good. This place is new and I'd recommend it. read more

Service: they prompt you to order at the kiosk. Drink: I love how they had so many options and seasonal menus to try! I got the matcha latte with 75% sweetness for $7 (pricey for a drink). The drink was grainy and was not mixed thoroughly. I was a bit disappointed with the texture of the boba as it tasted old and not fresh. Ambiance: cute and aesthetic boba cafe. I would come back for the vibe of the cafe to meet with friends, but not for the drinks. read more

I was in the mood for some boba milk tea, more specifically, the honeydew boba milk tea. The lactation is nice, and it just opened. We noticed the grand opening sign when we walked up. The only picky thing I have is that in order to place an order, it must be done at the kiosk, right in front of the counter. I am not a fan of kiosk because a kiosk won't answer questions that could customer service would normally, especially for a place in which you aren't familiar with what's offered. I took a chance and ordered the honeydew niu niu latte, and my husband ordered the Thai iced coffee. I have no idea what the niu niu is, or whether that made anything sweet, since the kiosk didn't answer me, but I ordered it half sweet, and for those who are sweet sensitive I would recommend ordering this drink at 25% sweet. My husband, on the other hand, ordered his drink half sweet, but would choose it 75% sweet next time. There is a few drinks I will try the next time I come by. read more

We love this place. This location is much closer to us. We love bruu because their bubble teas are lactose free. Hands down the best bubble tea shop in KC, you'd find something equivalent on the coasts in terms of taste. They have milk teas, juices, teas and so many options for types of bubbles and jellies to add to your drink. I love that you order on a computer and can customize ice/sugar levels. read more

I'm always happy to see more boba places around. The store is spacious and bright, with plenty of room to sit. Staff is always friendly. Bruu has some drink recipes not found at others which makes it worth dropping in when I'm in the area. If it's busy, there's usually not enough staff (or maybe machines) to keep up with the orders so there's a little bit of a wait. Usually, it doesn't deter me unless I need to get somewhere after. read more

This is a cute little Boba Shop! Instagram Ready. The Boba is decent. A++++ for Variety!!! LOTS of flavor combos and plenty established creations from the menu to choose from! We ordered our drinks the "maximum sweetness" available to be ordered and while it was sweet in one way- it didn't seem to hit our sweet spot. But don't skip this place, give it a try a couple times. We'll be in again to try some other flavors. Price is between 5.50-7.50 per cup which is reasonable compared to some of these other boba places in Overland Park. Didnt rate service since you order from a kiosk. I'll also mention that there is only 1 kiosk that I recall so if there is any sort of crowd, you might end up waiting. read more

Beyond such an aesthetic and spotless boba location! Also along a really nice shopping center that had urban, clean vibes. The interior is super appealing and modern. Love the addition of the swing, was not crowded, and the staff were kind! Ordered myself the Hazelnut Milk tea with almond milk and boba - personally I am a matcha lover and was not a big fan but the bobas were soft and chewy. Also got the Bruu Taiwan Toast - extremely delicious! It just melts. Also sweet due to the sauce and condensed milk but it was mouthwatering! Would totally recommend this. 9.5/10 would totally come back for the toast and to try a different flavored drink! read more

Met the owner on opening day. I love the 2024 kiosk order system that is fluid to using Apple Pay and allows a customer to customize the order detailed to his or her choice of preferences to level of sugar. Being with a stab of a straw stimulated your ears for an anticipated curiosity to an oversized straw sure to suck up the milk tea and hopefully not choke on a tapioca boba ball! 10/10 each time. The location is in Leawood, KS Park Place. The Country Club plaza area is going to provide the same conditions and expectations. Thank you! read more

My friend said the bench seating was a bit hard, and while the chair I sat in was soft, the arm rests made it a little too narrow for me (I'm plus size and have chronic pain, so finding truly comfortable seating can be a challenge at most places. As a note, anyone larger than a women's 3X probably wouldn't be able to comfortably sit in the chairs at all and would need to sit on the bench). Overall it was a pleasant experience, and I plan to go again!

The honey lavender matcha is also delicious and I only had to wait a couple of minutes. I will clearly be back probably next week..

Order at the kiosk for quick and easy, even choose the level of sweet for your drink. Open til 6 but come early because this place is popular and the daily made treats, although plentiful sell out early.

Nice big parking lot, my only complaint is that they don't have enough seating. Nice clean space with lots of natural lighting for cute foodie pics.

I was super excited to see taiyaki (fish-shaped pastry) in KC, but it came out greasy inside and out, even though I didn't know taiyaki could even turn out greasy, and the whole experience ran up a much higher bill than most boba joints. All things considered, not worth it. Definitely go check out other local places like Gocha, Ding Tea, and Takao Tea! For Asian desserts, I love Hamu Bakery (formerly Beyond Bread) and Leafy Dessert Cafe.

If you're looking for a fun place to cool off this summer, grab a sweet treat, or try something a little outside your comfort zone, ChaTime is worth a visit.

You could probably split one among 4 people. It's also a cute place to hang out, pretty pastel and wood cozy interior. I really liked the shaved ice cream! The texture was light and fluffy and while it reminds me of bingsoo, it's creamier because it's cream instead of milk I think? Overall it ended up being quite rich, especially with all the whipped cream, and the matcha flavor is a little too sweet. Next time I'll probably try a fruity flavor (and bring friends). I think this place is worth trying at least once! Really unique ice cream that I haven't seen or tried elsewhere.
