    Boba Ordering Instructions
    Lacee E.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    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!

    Pineapple fruit tea with mango boba
    Christina S.

    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.

    A great spot for boba as well as Mochi donuts!! Have been wanting to try these for so long and so happy they finally made their way to Pittsburgh! I may even like them better than regular donuts!

    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!

    Milk chocolate mocha donut
    Ulyana K.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Live Fresh is a local chain restaurant that serves cold-pressed juices (e.g., green, citrus, root,…read moreand immunity), smoothies (e.g., fruit, green, coffee, and nutty), bowls (e.g., açaí, green, and tropical), toasts, fruit cups, and parfaits. Many add-ins (e.g., milks, nut butters, sweeteners, proteins, seeds, crunches, and produce) were available. This restaurant would be a great choice for people who want vegan, gluten-free foods. I visited this restaurant one time. The two employees' service was friendly but very slow, which was probably due to one employee being trained. I rate the Island Glow bottled juice as 3 stars. It contained orange, pineapple, and coconut but tasted mostly like ginger. I rate the Pink Dragon bowl as 5 stars. It had a pitaya base, and it also contained granola, strawberries, pineapple, coconut, hemp, and my choice of drizzle, which was honey. I greatly enjoyed the sweet flavors, and I would order this bowl again.

Packed with granola, cacao nibs and bananas drizzled with peanut butter. The staff were really friendly. Loved the feel inside super simple and to the point. Heads up there is no bathroom and no seating inside. But with weather like it was this morning I was more than happy to eat outside and enjoy the weather.

I tried the Electric Mango Bowl, which came with granola, green apples, mangoes, biwi, strawberries, passion fruit syrup, and coconut shavings. So refreshing and flavorful! There was definitely a generous amount of toppings compared to the base. The bowl looked a bit small at first, but I was surprisingly full by the end. I think it's really fun that they offer different fruit bases. I would be interested in trying their signature Aruba Ariba bowl, which is a tropical blend of Electric mango, Blue Spirulina, & Dragon fruit bases. Service was fast--my bowl was made quickly. Since I ordered it to-go, they wrapped it in saran wrap and tin foil to help insulate the coldness, which I appreciated. My only small note is that it got a little too sweet toward the end. Still, a great spot if you're craving something tropical and vibrant!

For brunch, I bought the Aruba Ariba Bowl, Monkey Madness Tosti, and Aruba Sunset Smoothie. My husband had no interest in ordering anything. The total price was $33 plus tax and tip. Several minutes later, my foods were ready. I ate my meal inside the restaurant, which had plenty of tables and seating, including a swing. The foods tasted fresh and sweet. We did notice flies flying around. Later, the business downloaded my photos of my foods from my Instagram and posted them on their Instagram, Facebook, and business website without asking me for permission, crediting me by name, and compensating.

    Tropical Smoothie Cafe is the only place I buy smoothies…read more I love the options, the consistency and the control over sweetness. OPTIONS There are so many smoothies to choose from, to start: all fruit, yogurt-based, seasonal and featured drinks. But you can also add and remove ingredients to make a totally customized smoothie. CONSISTENCY While it might not be important to everyone, I like that I can go there and get the same smoothie every time I order it. No one is perfect, but overall, they are consistent. SWEETNESS This is probably the most important to me, as I cannot handle a super sweet, syrupy, chemical-tasting smoothie. I have tried my smoothies from here with no added turbinado sugar and then with half. I prefer the half. The smoothies here are not cheap, but you get what you pay for. They mostly come in one size, a large amount, which I like. The cups are probably not great for the environment, but they do keep the smoothies cold. (If I could change one thing, it would be that.) This review is based solely on the smoothies. I have never eaten food here.

The prices are definitely higher and I…read moredidn't notice the special they've always run where you can get a smoothie and half a sandwich or wrap for less.
