Been on the hunt for a bubble tea and finally got to try Bubbles. It was fairly packed so I looked at it as a good sign. Menu offers a variety of flavors and add-ons. The team was friendly and helped me quickly even with the crowd. I went with the Honeydew flavored tea with Boba. I was disappointed. When I took a sip of my tea, I felt I was drinking green water with sugar. No taste of honeydew. The boba seemed stale. I guess I'll continue to be on the hunt for bubble tea. Tip: BOGO 50% off on pressed juices Tues/Thurs between 1-4. read more

Bubbles the Tea and Juice - Honeydew Flavored Tea with Boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Pure water with milk and sugar no taste at all and also very few bobba, a waste of money and drink....

Ordered the tropical tantalizer with guava. Not too much you can say about a smoothie other than if it's refreshing or just plain good. I would say it's both. The only down size it's pricey. I had smoothies just as good and better for less. However you are in a mall so you will pay for that. It's a good stop if you are in the mall. Honestly I can't see coming to the mall for just this when there are plenty of places just as good on the way to the mall. With that said I will base it on taste. It is good but pricey. 3.5 if I could. read more

Bubbles the Tea and Juice - a cup of bubble tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

So if you are lost in your troubles And your face has got patches of stubbles I will give you a razor Or a treatment of Laser But I don't recommend tea at Bubbles Not to be confused with Bubbles that Michael Jackson owned. Not that you can really own an animal, what do we think we're gods or something. Yes. The girl serving me was really nice but unfortunately the product was not. The tapioca was rubbery and the milk tea didn't taste like anything at all. Seriously just like sugar and water. I only gave it a three stars because I like that they're selling Bubble Tea in malls. But honestly I've had a lot of bad Bubble Tea in my day and this is one of the worst that I've had. I won't be trying any of the other locations based on how bad this one was. Service iffy too, although as I said not the girl serving me, the others. But omg one of the customers was so rude I almost gave her a piece of my mind. But then I was like nah why would I reward her for being rude. read more

Bubbles definitely isn't my go-to boba shop, but I was desperate for caffeine yesterday and stopped by. Compared to the other Bubbles locations I've been to, this one is actually pretty good! I ordered mango tea with blueberry popping bubbles and less sugar, and it was delicious! I definitely recommend with less sugar, especially if you get the popping bubbles, because it was still very sweet. The service was really friendly and receptive to questions too. read more

Not impressed with the price and the drink was meh. Nothing exciting not sure what the hype is. I can go home and make my own ice tea w/ generic tea and it would taste better. Too boot they got the order wrong! So not going there again! read more

Sometimes I'll fight Polaris parking for the sole purpose of getting a bubble tea inside. And I loathe Polaris parking. The menu is large, but I've only ever had the taro, red bean, and Thai bubble teas. What can I say, I'm consistent like that. Well, I guess that's a lie. I've also bought lemonades and juices from the cooler to take home. Service is always friendly here (and at the north market from what I remember). A bit pricey but it's not any worse than getting a fancy drink from Starbucks. read more

This drink was unmemorable. The boba was a bit hard and must have been hanging around for a while. Things are mixed with powder and only average at best. If you need a quick drink at the mall, stop here but I wouldn't go out of your way. read more

Bubbles the Tea and Juice - Honey milk tea (green tea) with boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I was really impressed by the cute location and the fact that they offer cold pressed juice, so I thought I would give them a try. They served cold pressed juice in the fridge next to the line, I figured they would offer fresh smoothies ... Boy, was I wrong! I ordered the "Tropical Paradise," smoothie with boba and coconut jelly. On the back counter, there were several dirty blenders with lots of left over smoothie in them. I saw a girl take a 1/4 full dirty blender, fill it with ice, and add some juice from a gallon in the fridge. I was horrified!! 1.) She did not use any measurements. 2.) It was a DIRTY blender! 3.) The mixture came from a premade gallon. Nothing about it was fresh fruit. I asked her why their smoothies were not made to order, and she told me that "We mass produce them to save time" ........ I have no words. Who knows how their cleanliness is with their packaged cold pressed juices, or what other short cuts they take. The boba was tasteless, but it wasn't hard or soggy, so I'll give them one star for that! read more

Bubbles the Tea and Juice - Tropical Paradise with boba and coconut jelly $6.50 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Absolutely love Bubbles! Whenever we go, I swear the line is a mile long but the staff is working faster than a Chick-fil-A line. We got in line by H&M on a Saturday and thought it would be a 20-30 minute wait but we were at the register in under 10 minutes. The girl had our drink out to us before we had even finished paying. I got a Taro with boba and it was amazing. Polaris is definitely the location to go to read more

I am a huge fan of tea in general but bubble tea is epic. When I saw this place in the mall I had to try it! I tried the passionfruit tea with the mango popping juice bubbles and it was amazing. I also like that they had ginger shots and charcoal lemonade pre-bottled. I almost got some to take back to Cleveland. I loved that they used light ice so you dont trap the bubbles in the ice and it doesnt get too watery. Its perfect read more

Working for bubbles was really refreshing and a nice first job. The work was nice and easy and the inteeactions with cutomers and fellow emplyees was great, until the new manager Jonathan Granados hired. He makes the work place extemely uncomfortable especially for younger people. He made comments about his genitals to minors who were employed there (and other wildly inappropriate comments directed towards other employees) and lied about it after they had spoken up. The higher ups did nothing to correct or discipline his behavior. He still continues to work there even after multiple employees (underage and over) had emailed and spoke to higher ups about his behavior. I am not writing this maliciously but because I am genuinely concerned about the well being of current and new employees. No one should have to go to work with a 30 year old manager so willingly to make such comments and higher-ups who are so willing to keep him around unpunished. -former employee of the strongsville ohio location read more

Employee refused to serve me because she was making samples. It was empty and it would have only taken her a minute. no one was going to have the samples anyway. read more

1-Star Rating for Product: I ordered a coconut milk tea; it tasted awful. The drink was made with some powdered concoction and had a artificial, chemical aftertaste. It does not taste anything like authentic milk tea. 3-Star Rating for Service: I immediately returned the drink to the kiosk attendant, Nina, and asked for a refund but she said she could not issue me one. She asked me to contact Jeremy and gave me his business card. I attempted to contact Jeremy; to-date, he has not replied to my email, but at least my refund request was honored. read more

I bumped into this place while at the worthington farmers market. I tried to iced Matcha tea with almond milk and boba. It was delicious. The tea was smooth and not grainy. They also have a nice selection of fresh juices. They were sampling the orange juice and it was divine! The only area of improvement was the boba. They were a little tough to chew. The staff was very helpful in choosing the right tea. They also gave me a punch card so my 10th drink is free. read more

When it comes to bubble tea I would say this place is pretty average. I'm not unwilling to get one here but there's nothing really special about it either. read more

I decided to try this one more time since it's so popular at the mall. I wondered if my first experience was just a mistake one of the employees made. This time I ordered the matcha milk tea. What I received was another very sweet drink - not a drink of pure syrup like last time but yikes. Seriously? It tasted nothing like matcha - just syrup added to milk. The bubbles were not pleasant. Again, I didn't finish the drink. But at least I gave it one more shot, right? Have you guys not had boba tea before?! Even the Easton Mall's Kung Fu tea is better than this. (And that chain location isn't particularly good). Not that many places in this area use actual fresh fruit - but at least Kung Fu Tea tries a little harder than this place. I am in shock that this has such high reviews. I definitely do not recommend this place. read more

Surprisingly good bubble tea! Actually, coming from Vancouver (land of bubble tea) I would say the coconut flavor is the best I have ever had. The pearls were a bit tough but I really like that they didn't try to dilute the tea with too much ice. The taro was okay, certainly better than most (didn't taste too chalky) but not the best that I've had. I highly recommend the coconut! read more

Bubbles the Tea and Juice - Coconut and taro bubble tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Bubbles and tea is good the bubble tea does not cause too much money seriously and for a large only $4.50! Love the mango bubble tea the large is not even that big. Only a few inches taller. read more

I didn't realize they had bubble tea. I think I would have liked it better if I had realized it... Not sure what happened... Stopped in for some juice. No big deal. Fresh squeeze juice is fresh squeezed juice. I wasn't offended by them, but... 2 stars for, not really standing out... Also, like I said, I probably would have enjoyed it more, if I had tapioca in my drink. read more

Again, out of tapioca balls and I'm sure it's because I ordered at 9:15 when they close at 930. Third time this happened. Haven't stopped in over a year because they are always out of something, thought I would give it another shot on my out of the mall, I should have known better. read more

I wouldn't recommend this location. The staff is normally not friendly and treat you like a number but on top of that they don't make your tea right. If I'm ordering a cold tea why would I want my ice to melt and it be luke warm by the time you hand it to me? I've come back a few times to give them another chance but unfortunately it always happens. read more

I thought the price for what you get was a little ridiculous. Flavor of the milk tea was good but way overpriced. And they put ice in my tea, which means along with getting a boba in my sip, I nearly choked on a chunk of ice. Satisfied my craving, but not my fave place. read more

OBSESSED WITH THEIR TEA!!! so yummy and their bobas are amazing too. i find myself always going back for more!

Not bad. But not the best I've had. I got the Thai tea but it was super warm & the ice was all melted. My sister got the Matcha & it was cold and yummy. The flavors were there, so I'd probably give it a second chance. read more

Wasn't a fan. Was super excited to try as I love bubble milk tea. My tea had 3 small pieces of ice that melted before I walked away from the counter, tapioca balls were not fresh, a little hard actually. The flavor of the actual tea wasn't bad but the no ice and bad bubbles killed it for me. read more

Line is usually long, so that sucks--but not enough for a star. I love the tropical paradise. I get it every time I visit the mall

Don't be misled by the positive review below. Bubbles has the worst bubble tea I have ever had in my life. Their Yelp used to be full of negative reviews and it looks s if they remade an account. My last visit I bought a matcha bubble tea. It was just disappointing... Very watery, flavorless. read more

Very good bubble tea and smoothies and the staff are super friendly! I hope this place stays :)

Love this place such a great drink area also I would recommend getting a Chai milk tea with Boba or what u prefer as a add in. Wish they gave u more add in but still a good place read more

I'm actually a fan of the Bubbles in North Market and was looking forward to a bubble tea this afternoon. I purchased my usual order here but the tea seemed a little more bitter than usual. Also, the tea to ice ratio was off (way too much ice!!). I would go here again if I'm in Polaris and needing my bubble tea fix but I prefer the North Market location to this one. read more

Great staff! I have matcha tea with coconut bubbles, it was good! Am looking forward to trying different items on the menu.

Decided to buy a smoothie from here because I just had a root canal and needed something to fill my hunger without using my teeth. I ordered the mango tango and it was good but not as good as I wanted it to be. I might order another smoothie to see if I like that. read more

Horrible experience. Me and my wife threw up all day into the early morning hours. Would love to have my money back. But unfortunately we don't live near Polaris. Smh read more

Lots of options and the bubbles which are tapioca beads give the drinks a nice twist.

I usually like the tea but it's hit or miss here. Sometimes it's really good and sometimes it's really bad. I've gotten a really watery and flavorless mango smoothie with bubbles, an almond bubble tea that was WAY too sweet (seriously I felt like I was drinking straight almond extract, I had to go home and dilute it with a couple cups of milk) and a plain bubble tea that wasn't sweet at all (I went home and dumped a bunch of sugar and milk in there because it felt like I was just drinking normal black tea) read more

Love love LOVE this place! So hard to find a quick and healthy meal or snack while our stopping or over lunch and this is the place! It's expensive if you consider it just juice but it tides me over as a lunch so for $4-6, it's not bad. I have not tried anything except their juice but recommend the carrot, orange, beet! read more
