This is a cute boba tea shop right on Centre Ave. There is a small parking lot in the back, which makes it super easy to stop in. I had a Thai iced tea with tapioca boba and a taro doughnut. Both were delicious. The menu was very detailed and the staff were helpful with answering questions and making recommendations. Highly recommend! read more

We came here after seeing their cute signs outside, but were quickly put off by the menu full of AI. That should have been our clue to not continue, but we ordered anyway. The person behind the counter was a bit less than enthusiastic, which normally doesn't even factor into my reviews because I've totally been there. However, they also didn't wash their hands between handling our cash and making our drinks, and they grabbed the inside of the cups with bare hands and were also scooping ice. I ended up asking for a refund for a different reason because I didn't want to make a scene, and my girlfriend threw her drink out. There also seemed to be milk tea sitting out unrefrigerated in a non-insulated keg. All in all, I would be open to coming back in the future if changes are made, but the laziness of AI-generating menu images and the lack of hygiene means that I won't be back for a while. read more

Had a delicious dragonfruit tea with rainbow popping pearls! The service was great and I would love to come back and try other drinks on the menu! I love that there is a self service kiosk here as well. read more

The staff here are really nice. I appreciate you can adjust the level of sweetness. The milk tea is lovely. They have online ordering and kiosks to make pick up a lot easier. I had a matcha mochi donut recently. The donut is good, but I'll likely stick to the drinks going forward. I'm curious about the hot food, hoping to try at another visit. read more

I thought this place was cute, might need some music in the shop as it was pretty quiet. I got the Special - Brown Sugar Oreo Boba Milk Tea - and it was delicious!!! I paired it with a chocolate mochi donut which was pretty good, it didn't seem the freshest, but I did go in the afternoon so that one's probably on me. The service was nice, they offer a kiosk or you can order at the register. Their menu is easy to see with multiple screen/ and paper copies hung around the shop as well as QR codes which was nice. There is also a guide on how to order your drink which I really liked. The only reason I wouldn't give it more stars was the lack of premade specialty drink options - I'm never sure what will taste good and I love a fancy milk tea. The only special drinks were the Oreo boba milk tea and a strawberry cheesecake one, I just would have liked more options like these. It just felt kind of overwhelming and limited looking at the options whereas if you go to tsocaa they have a vast array of specialty drinks. I also wish there had been outdoor seating, - but idk if that's in their power or not - I wish I could give it 3-1/2 stars bc 3 is honestly a bit too low. I recommend going and trying it out! Cute shop, delicious drink! read more

Bubble Bee is a small restaurant chain that currently has locations in the Shadyside neighborhood, Ross Park Mall, and South Hills Village Mall. I recently visited this Bubble Bee in Shadyside. I appreciated that this restaurant has a free parking lot, which is rare in the city. When I entered the restaurant, two employees promptly and kindly greeted me. I ordered two popping fruit teas and two mochi donuts in different flavors. The prices were about a few dollars each. An employee gave me bags so that I could more easily carry my drinks and donuts. My husband and I ate our teas and donuts at home. I rate my strawberry popping fruit tea as 5 stars, my strawberry mochi donut as 4.5 stars, my husband's passion-fruit popping fruit tea as 4.5 stars (it could have used more popping balls), and my husband's milk-chocolate mochi donut as 4 stars. read more

This location is between Bloomfield and Shadyside, so the fact that it has a dedicated parking lot was a win in my book! That was the first plus I noticed, and it only got better from there. The Brown Sugar Oreo Boba Milk Tea, one of Bubble Bee's specials, is not too sweet but definitely satisfies that sweet tooth craving. The double chocolate mochi donut was . I went around 11 AM and it tasted fresh. In addition to the clutch parking + treats, the staff answered my questions and I got to look at the cute decor while I waited. Overarching thought: can't wait to go again read more

4.0/5 Stars I really like this place and think it's worth a visit if you're a tea lover. It's very clear their teas are brewed fresh and not too sweet. If you're used to having to ask for "less sweet" at other shops due to their overwhelming affinity with sugar, you don't need to worry about that here. That was a HUGE plus. I loved the owners here. Their mochi donuts were a solid choice if you've never tried one in the past, but wish they were a bit fresher. My matcha mochi donut had a nice pronounced flavor with a sugary icing. If everything described sounds good to you, please stop by! read more

I really wanted to try the piña colada special but I was told they were out of it so then I decided to order the dragon fruit fruit tea with rainbow boba but they were out of rainbow boba so I was striking out and became indecisive. I ended up trying the pineapple fruit tea with mango boba and a strawberry mochi donut. The drink was good, the donut has a funnel cake-ish taste to me it was good but different. They had a lot of different toppings that sound very interesting but I was hesitant to try. I wish I was with somebody who knew the products more. The café is a cute little shop right down the street from Shadyside Hospital, there is plenty of parking in the back, which is a bonus because at first I passed it up and thought I was going to have to go around the block to find parking. read more

I'm a huge bubble tea and mochi donut snob so my review might not be your cup of tea. I ordered the brown sugar bubble tea which was really tasty with less sugar and less ice. I don't really like sweet drinks so I barely order brown sugar but it's really tasty. I wish the drink and mochi option would let you adjust the milk preference but it doesn't. The other drink we ordered was a fruit tea which was needing a little more sugar but we selected less sugar but next time will order average sugar/normal amount. I liked that it wasn't overly sweet either. The mochi donuts were so so. I have had numerous mochi donuts and I was disappointed on the photo to the donut that we got. I think the best mochi is when it's the mochi is mixed within the donut so if the donut is matcha, why is the icing just matcha based and not the donut? I wish it was more incorporated because I thought the blueberry was weird as well. I didn't really care for either but my partner enjoyed both of them. I guess I am just confused as I had mochi donuts in Hawaii and California that were more top tier than here. I would probably come back for the drinks but would leave the donuts. We ordered off DoorDash but I do know parking is well chaotic since it's street parking and it's not like the one in the south hills mall. read more

So excited it's finally open! A little pricier than other bubble tea shops but it's worth it! Sign up for the rewards program - you get $5 off at 50 points, and after buying two drinks we are halfway there. Coconut smoothie and lemon tea are both delicious. Love the option to get "rainbow" popping boba with all the flavors! Can't wait to go back and try more drinks.. plus the apps and soup! Service was friendly and fast - they are as excited to finally be open as we are to have them. Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

I went on a Saturday morning at 11am with two other people to get boba and snacks at Bubble Bee. Sadly, there is no food menu currently - my understanding is that their chef got into some sort of accident playing soccer but will be back to make food again once they're recovered. It's a cute little spot with a handful of small tables good for small groups. The inside is bright and clean. You order off an iPad at a kiosk. Our boba orders came out pretty quickly and the strawberry cheesecake boba was delicious. I would definitely come back to try their food and other boba offerings! read more

A very nice little bubble tea shop on Centre Ave. The atmosphere is quite good and the company's entire branding just has a feel good feel to it. They also have a shop in Ross Park Mall. I tried out their classic brown sugar milk tea as well as a milk chocolate mocha donut. To be honest, the brown sugar boba was pretty average. There wasn't anything too special about it. Nice and light drink, not crazy sweet, which was nice. Not much boba in it though. Price was okay. They had a donut and drink combo for a decent price. The real star of this snack break was the mochi donut. It's got a very cool, chewy texture to it. The milk chocolate on top really added a lovely sweet touch to it. I would even definitely recommend trying one. All in all, a cute little boba shop. Decent drinks, but the mochi donuts are what are really unique and tasty. read more

Had their bubble tea and mochi donuts. Service was really quick and it's not the greatest bubble tea place around but it's still very good.

I got the passion fruit bubble tea with tapioca and it was great. My husbands swears the taro bubble tea was one of his favorites ever and that's saying a lot. I love that there's a parking lot in the plaza being a back entrance to the store. Super quick and simple ordering - can order in person or there's a tablet you can self order. Overall the bubble tea was good, and extra perks for the parking lot! read more

My friend and I came to try Bubble Bee out for the first time and I enjoyed it. I got the dragon fruit tea with rainbow popping boba and a matcha donut. The matcha donuts are gluten free so that was a nice surprise! My favorite part was the rainbow boba, which is a combination of different boba flavors. Our server was very sweet and super helpful! I do wish they had some outdoor seating on the patio that's outback, the inside of the shop is super cute though. read more

I stopped by for the first time to check out Bubble Bee. I love bubble tea was very interested to see how this compares to others around the city. I tried their Lychee Peal Milk Tea and it was delicious. I asked for my this drink to be on the less sweet side and it was still very sweet. Maybe this was because of the Lychee flavoring they used. The shop itself is small and modern. There's a bit of seating available. What I love about the shop is that you have the ability to order using their kiosk or with the barista. Since this was my first time and I was new to their menu, the kiosk gave me time to browse and choose at my own pace. read more

This place is cute! Ordered two bubble teas the guy in the front was really nice made them fast and the drinks were good! They didn't have winter melon tea on their menu (my fav flavor ever) but when I asked , they did have winter melon and made me one and it was so good it's something new they are doing I think that's why it wasn't on their menu but hopefully they put it up soon it's a 10/10 for me thank you! read more
