Small mom and pop shop with delicious boba!!! I ordered a large strawberry, mango, and passion fruit green tea with pearls. Very delicious! I came back two days in a row. :) Convenient parking, no cash minimum, and they serve food too. Service was friendly and prompt. Just wish I lived in Grand Rapids so I could have some more cafe boba! read more

5/5. Great boba and great working environment! Super friendly employees. Overall love this place

Boba smoothies are the best!!! Tons of options to choose from for flavors, boba or fruit jellies. Small food menu but works well with boba in general. Ice cream flavors of the week changes and free samples are large enough to actually taste and share with others to taste if you'd like. Most recently had melon and black tea on two separate occasions. Very good! Will always return for great boba! read more

I love their taro milk tea and their Thai tea. If you're looking for boba, this is THE place to get it, there's tons of different choices and flavors. Also, I dream about their dumplings + the dipping sauce. They're perfectly streamed every time. read more

I come to Michigan every year and this is the one place I go to all the time when I am here! It's awesome! Great food and great boba. You can even play games while drinking your boba! You should definitely come. read more

Their bobas aren't the best but, but their drinks seems to be improving. :) I like that you can choose different flavors for your smoothie drinks! I'd recommend the strawberry-lychee combo. For tea drinks, I usually get their Thai Tea or black tea Milk Tea. Their tapicoa balls (black boba balls) are usually too soggy for me--usually this happens because its cooked for too long. The interior of the cafe is bright and lively! I love sitting in the booth areas. There are also free board games to play if you and your friends are into that kinda of fun! read more

This is one of my forever favorites! Lots of clearly listed vegan options and very kind and knowledgeable staff. I witnessed a staff member be extremely patient with an elderly person who did not understand bubble tea and provided her with a sample of boba! They have sooo many flavor combinations and different types of tea and milks. I love the veggie sushi rolls and Korean veggie dumplings (both clearly labeled as vegan) that they prepare fresh when you order. Wonderful atmosphere with tons of board games and card games that they encourage patrons to play. Sometimes the building is quite full when clubs seem to be hosting meetings, but I have never struggled to find a seat. This is a bit of a drive for me but I am always willing to make it! read more

I ordered a Thai Tea and it really lacked the flavor of what makes it a special drink. I'm a bit of a boba snob and the boba was cooked well. They ran out of sushi so I tried the Udon and it was too salty for me and I didn't care for the flavor of the broth. I've been craving boba for weeks now and it at least helped, but I'm going to multiple places when I go back to Houston in 2 weeks. read more

Cheap, affordable, and comfy. This is my favorite boba place with tons of variety. It's not outstanding, but it certainly satisfying area to chill. The one thing I would love to see improvement in is the cups. read more

We absolutely love going here to get the smoothies with boba. This visit we decided to order the Steamed dumplings. They were awesome! So delicious. read more

The boba was amazing, and the sushi that we got was super cheap and tasty. The staff helped me and my friend pick out our drinks since we have never had boba before and they were super nice about it. They offered me a punch card and after I get 10 punches they give a free drink. I will definitely go back a lot in the future. The atmosphere was super chill there and is a nice hangout spot. read more

Cafe Boba - Boba drinks - Cafes Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

This was my first time and it will definitely not be my last. The food was great and the drinks were fantastic! I had a chocolate malt and my girlfriend had a coconut bubble tea with tapioca pearls and we both loved it and we also got some food and it was good. The place has some fun games and activities to do while you wait and while you dine, I kicked my girlfriends booty in some battleship. Food- 4/5 Drinks- 4.8/5 Atmosphere- 5/5 Service- 5/5 read more

I highly recommend the Thai tea! I am a Thai tea fanatic but every place I go the tea tastes like a cup of pure sugar. NOT here, here I get the most perfect Thai tea ever. It has the perfect blend of sugar and creaminess. The boba is perfectly done, not too mushy like a ton of other places I have been. My 6 year old son and I were here a few weeks ago and he had a piece of cheesecake. I took a bite just to try and had to get a piece of my own. I'm not sure if they buy it or make it but its the best cheesecake I have ever had. read more

While visiting Grand Rapids for the weekend, we had a few hours to kill tonight while waiting for a friend so we thought we search for places with board games. This led us to search for bubble tea places, which brought us here. We had a standard milk tea with pearls. The tea was fresh tasting and the pearls were a good consistency! There were quite a few board and card games to choose from. They also have video games to play if you ask. We weren't hungry, but we did notice they sold 饺子 and (Chinese and Korean dumplings) which would be worth trying. There were not many people in the shop and it was rather quiet without any music playing in the background. If we're ever back in the area, we'll stop in again! read more

This is a good place for food if you are looking for reasonably priced, light fare. The food is tasty and balanced, but not especially interesting. The boba tea and smoothies are terrific! Great flavor and plentiful. The neighborhood is a little run down and the storefront looks a little shady. However, it is a completely different world on the inside. It's a relaxing, comfortable environment with good music. Also, there is an incredible amount of space available for hooking up your devices. The environment more than makes up for the average food. The staff is pleasant, but they all look like it's been more than a day since they last showered with bandanas holding back greasy hair. Not something I long for in food preparers. read more

I was really excited to finally find a boba place in GR, having moved here from the West coast where boba places are abundant to say the least. I got the green milk tea with boba, simple enough and it was okay at best. The boba was overcooked to the point of being mushy and honestly left a really upsetting aftertaste. The milk tea wasn't bad but felt like it was missing something. I was a little disappointed but I'll definitely be back to try some other drinks because it seems like a cool space but definitely hold the boba for me lol read more

Good atmosphere with friendly service and tasty milk tea. Try the tarro milk tea with normal bubbles. Very reasonable prices! They even have board games you can barow! read more

Got the strawberry boba smoothie with my daughter. It's so good and the staff is friendly! Will definitely come back

This place is a cute Boba place with decent boba, and food options. I went here this Saturday with my daughter. I have been here before, and was not impressed. The drinks were too sweet, but I came back because they changed owners apparently. I tried the Boba at this years Asian festival, and realized they tasted sooooooo much better. We went there and got Black milk tea with original Boba, and coconut tea with original boba. Both were on point... not to sweet with delicious boba that was chewy not mushy or hard. There a ton of flavor options, and not just tea, but smoothies & etc. The only thing I think they should warn about before hand is that you can't have flavoring with milk tea, because it curdles the milk. I had wanted flavor, but had ordered milk tea so they couldn't put it in. They were however very nice, and apologized. Offered to make me the one I wanted, but I was still okay with the alternative so took the one I got. So basically tons of options, nice servers, no milk tea if you want flavors, and I'll def be returning. read more

Best place for boba tea in west Michigan (heck the only place worth mentioning). I'm from CA where there is a wealth of boba places and this stands to compare! Thank you so much for satisfying my cravings! read more

My favorite place to have a nice little drink and play uno! It's always so quiet and the staff is the nicest in the world!

My niece brought me here and I LOVE It! I was having Boba withdrawal after living in Asia for several years. The people are super friendly and the vibe is really sweet. read more

I thought the staff was very nice and bubbly. I had the taro black milk tea with boba and it was pretty decent. I'm from NYC so I've had better, but can't complain when this is basically 1 of 3 places to get bubble tea in Grand Rapids. read more

I love this place. Even though this is basically the only place that specializes in boba drinks I still think it's one of the best in the area. The staff is always very friendly and eager to help. I recommend this place to all my friends. read more

10/10 recommended. Delicious. Definitely go here. I got the Oreo smoothie with strawberry popping bobas. Although my mom thinks the boba is to sweet, I enjoy it read more

The location is a bit inconvenient as far as access, but the tea is great. I had a coconut. black tea with original tapioca boba.

Love the smoothies! The noodle udon soup is great when you feel sick, a great alternate to chicken noodle!

Great place in Grand Rapids for bubble tea, hell maybe the only place. Authentic teas and a large variety. Not a long wait and well worth investigating. read more

All I can say is that this is good if you like boba tea (which I do not)! My daughter loves it, though, especially from here. The service is fast and the staff are very helpful and nice. It's also got a pretty clean environment. read more

Cool place! They have fun board games and lots of fun variety. It would be a nice place to come and study. The prices are great, too!

I've been going here every time my family vacations here. I always get a fruit smoothie with classic boba. The first time I had it, it was a little odd, but it really grows on you. Great place. read more

There are very few places with all the boba shop trimming like this place anywhere in west michigan. I love all the variety they offer and their price is reasonable. I'm from California where finding a boba shop is not a rarity like it is here and I must say its pretty darn good for what it is. Nothing has compared as close to the shops in Cali but this is pretty close. I do recommended this place if you're looking for a nice cold dessert drink. read more
