You'll find fat cups and milk tea at Bubble N Tea. i got the dirty earl grey. You know Bubble N Tea is great because they anticipated my request for light ice. The order was already reduced ice, which demonstrates this place is 2 legit 2 quit. I also thought the ambiance was clean and great for talking. The service was quick and easy, which is the way I like my boba shops. read more

Service is polite but distant. I'd say the menu is not the most clear cut and the cashier was pretty passive in providing guidance. My encouragement to management is to coach your staff to be more proactive with customers and ask if they have questions. The milk tea is some of the worst I've ever had. Definitely stay away from these whole milk iterations - I could barely taste the tea in my drink and even at 50 percent less sweet, it was still too sweet. I would say the matcha drinks here are decent, but I came for milk tea and was pretty disappointed. read more

I was so excited that Bubble N Tea is finally in Portland so I can satisfy my boba cravings without having to drive all the way to Beaverton that I came here on grand opening day! I opted for the salted brown sugar & a classic milk tea with bubbles. The tea was fragrant and the boba was cooked just right. The interior is super cute & the staff were knowledgeable about the drinks. The only thing is parking is a bit tricky on Division. Also it is a couple shops down from Salt & Straw. Salted brown sugar w/ bubbles - $7.75 Classic w/ bubbles - $6.75 read more

It's really interesting how the boba scene evolved in Portland vs Seattle. Unlike the more Asian-American heavy Seattle, which has more large chains migrating from China and Taiwan, and to a smaller extent Vietnam and South Korea, Portland has a more homegrown and local boba feel. I don't know the history of shops here, but Bubble N Tea seems to follow the Tea Bar trend - that of a minimalist and austere storefront with a simplified menu, but focusing on high quality ingredients. We actually weren't planning on visiting Bubble N Tea, but we walked past it on Division on a Saturday afternoon and found ourselves wandering in right when they opened. This boba shop has some issues with the menu. As part of the minimalist aesthetic, they have a small signboard above the counter which lists some, but not all of the drinks. In order to delve into things in more detail, there are three laminated sheets of 8.5x11" in front of the register with tiny font. This really limits the rate customers can order since basically only one person at a time can look at the menus. Several other small issues I found - firstly, the "Handcrafted Tea" section makes no mention of the drinks being milk tea. For someone more used to Asian boba shops, the descriptions here read as straight/plain tea rather than milk tea. Secondly, there's no indication that toppings are included in the drink cost. Thirdly, there's no sign that sweetness and (possibly) ice level can be adjusted (signature drinks are premixed and can't have adjustment; the normal milk teas can). And lastly, there is no indication of inclusion of dairy (most drinks have dairy) nor of dairy alternatives (if I remember correctly, they have soy, almond, and oat milk as alternatives). All of this basically necessitates asking a ton of questions to the bobarista before ordering, which further compounds the delays due to the lack of accessible menus. Drinks are served in 25oz cups that are much wider than normal and don't fit in a standard car cupholder. Classic Handcrafted Tea, 50% Sweet, w/ Boba ($6.75) - We originally wanted a signature Dirty Earl Grey, but after confirming we couldn't adjust sweetness, we went over to the Handcrafted Tea section. The bobarista recommended 50% or 75% sweet since we asked for comparisons against typical chain boba shops. At 50% sweet here with the boba added in, this is still very sweet, probably comparable to 100% at a typical boba shop. Almost cloying for me. The drink is exceptionally milky and has some caramel notes as if they use condensed milk as the sweetener. The flavor of the tea, a bit malty and strongly fruity like an Assam tea, gives a bit of astringency in the mouth. The fruity flavor is very intense and seems like it's not just from the tea itself and is instead boosted by the syrup or something else added in. The tea is a bit unbalanced for my tastes, leaning towards the dairy and sugar too much. Rather than being complementary flavors, it's a little disparate and perhaps clashing. The drink is shaken until frothy, and while not watery, is a bit thinner than drinks thickened with creamer. I forgot to ask for ice level adjustment and let me say that they add a ton of ice. We finished the drink and 4 hours later there was still ice in the cup. The boba is pretty good. The pearls are extremely sticky on the exterior and very sweet, definitely marinated in syrup for a long while. They have a pretty good bounce and chew, perhaps just a tiny bit firmer than perfection. They are a little inconsistent in size and shape, however. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 Overall, I found the drink to be pretty high quality, but too unbalanced for my tastes. It's not a bad visit by any means and I'm glad I went in to try the place out. Bathrooms - Single unisex room read more

So excited to see Bubble N Tea open their second location! I've been a fan for a while and they continue to deliver every time. I usually order the ube and mango, which are always spot-on. This time I tried the sesame matcha and it was delicious--perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Drinks are consistently high quality and you can tell they care about what they're serving. Highly recommend supporting them! read more

The fruit green tea with boba was so refreshing and perfectly sweet at 50%. The tapioca boba (add-on) was very tender and easily one of the best I've ever had. Cannot recommend this drink enough! Comes in a wide cup, and forsure will have you craving for more. The place has an urban vibe and felt very clean. Several tables inside for your studying, chatting, or sipping needs. read more

The taste is as good as the Beaverton location. I dont think they have the special seasonal drinks as the one in Beaverton, but I could be wrong since I came on their 2nd opening day, and they might not update the menu yet. Parking is a bit hard, but they have more sitting spots compared to Beaverton location read more

For Portland this is pretty good tea. The cups are reminiscent of pre-Covid class 302 in Tustin. Super big that can't fit into a cup holder. But again, the tea was good. We got the coco cream Thai and the Thai sweet cream. Also got the matcha sesame latte and strawberry smoothie. Everything was good, but I really liked my sesame matcha. The place was packed but clean and the workers were super nice. Definitely one of the better places in the city. read more

The bubble tea was very good. Looks like a large cup but there's a lot of ice so probably still the size of a normal tea. Very popular now that it's open on Division so be ready for a line (although maybe it was just for the opening week). Small place but some nice seating and nice wooden interior. read more

Yay!! So so excited Bubble N Tea is in Portland now!! Anyone who knows me knows I'd drive out to Beaverton just to get drinks from here, so this makes me insanely happy. My partner and I love to try all the different specialty drinks and seasonal offerings but we stuck with some more classic teas this time. You really can't go wrong! This new space is so sleek and classy. Very different from the other location but equally lovely. The only bummer is they don't have the order kiosks here on Division which is hard when there's a rush. Definitely not a deterrent for me coming here, though. Always an amazing experience with such yummy drinks! Thank you BNT! read more
