I was really impressed. The atmosphere is very cool, the staff was eager to help and friendly and the rolled ice cream was icesalicious! We got there 15 minutes before closing and they were so generous to serve us and took their time and made these incredible strawberry ice cream rolls for us. The portion was massive but I did my duty and finished the whole thing. This place exceeded my expectations and I'm sure it will exceed yours too. read more

I stopped in for 2 Dubai Chocolate bars. I was asked if I wanted dark chocolate or milk chocolate. I said one of each, paid over $40, took the bars home and opened them both as this was my family's first time trying this only to break off the one we thought was dark chocolate to find the inside brown instead of green. It was a Biscoff bar. It tasted okay, but it was not at all what I ordered. Especially for $20+ a bar. The actual Dubai bar was delicious and we are hooked. Just very disappointed by not getting everything we ordered, which knocked this down from a five stars to a three. read more

Bubble tea is good, brown sugar bubble tea sometimes tastes like fruity pebbles.. but overall good, haven't had another flavor yet. I did try the chocolate chip cookie, it wasn't that good to me. Tasted old. Also did the biscoff cheesecake, it was good but I hate how soft the cookie was read more

This strip mall place offered a fancy dessert selection, including bubble teas, rolled ice cream, and numerous variations of Dubai chocolate. I opted for a rolled ice cream based on Nutella. It was a busy place even relatively early in the day, and for some reason my rolled ice cream order seemed to fall beneath other orders in priority. When I got it, the flavor had infused suitably well. I'm not the hugest fan of pretzels on dessert, but overall it was a smoothly textured, strongly flavored dessert. They had a variety of options marked as lactose free, but not quite clear about other dietary restrictions. read more

Dubai Chocolate Strawberries -chefs kiss The service was wonderful! - the lovely young man's son gave me some good suggestions on when I come back while I was waiting for my Strawberries! - Ambiance is relaxing When I walked in I was greeted and given some great suggestions by the owner. - If you want to eat them there eat them fast the chocolate does harden but that just means you need a harder spoon to eat it. I loved it and the lovely conversation with the own and son it was a wonderful time I can not wait to go back and get more. I also got the dark chocolate Dubai bar! I am in heaven read more

My granddaughter had told me about this place, but only referred to it as the boba tea place, which holds zero interest for me. But when a friend and I decided to try Lemongrass Thai a few doors down, he spotted this place. A few weeks ago after being stuffed at Lemongrass, the 3 of us (10 year old granddaughter went as well), wondered down and oh my. When you walk in they greet you, when you need help, they offer it. My friend is hooked on the ice cream dessert that's peanut butter and chocolate, my granddaughter the mint one, while I've tried the Nutella one, but switched to the gold something or other yesterday and now it's going to be a hard decision. We want once and she wanted to try the peanut butter one (she's allergic to nuts, but can eat peanut butter now after years of not), and they made my Nutella one first, so she had an allergic reaction. Yesterday, I mentioned this and they cleaned the board where they roll the ice cream and made hers first. Without asking, if you order more than it's obvious you're going to eat there, they'll set them in the freezer. They have that Dubai chocolate, and even have heart shaped ones so you can try it without spending $20 on a large bar. The friend is hooked, but I've yet to try it. I let the other granddaughter know I could bring her something and she ordered the Triple T boba..............don't even ask, but apparently she's been enough to know what she wants there. Although the desserts are amazing, items are made as you order, so those rolled ice creams take a while, so plan your time for that. What really wins for us though is the level of service at such a small place, where no one minds answering your questions, doesn't seem annoyed, no eye rolling.............can't wait to go back! read more

Not a bad place! The service was great, workers were friendly and I felt welcomed. The vibe is "happy" and open. I felt calm being there. The menu is diverse, with plenty of options to choose from. I love the presentation of the cups and the ice cream itself as well. As for the tea itself, I felt the actual tea was a little too strong for my personal taste. Not terribly bad, just not what I'm used to. The ice cream was okay as well, not the best. I definitely enjoyed the vibe here, and if you're looking to try new boba, might as well give it a try. read more

For someone who has been to Dubai & has tried the chocolate- I have to admit this is a very close second and 10/10! The chocolate had a great snap. It was fresh. I don't agree they should charge $20 for a bar when the "real" Dubai chocolate is $20. However, I understand the cost of business. The service was great. They really welcome customers and want them to have a great experience. The design and ambiance is lacking. For a location associated with Dubai chocolate treats & drinks I was looking to be transported with Rich colors, textured walls, and amazing smell. The overall ambiance is a miss for me 0/10. The drinks were 8/10. Ice cream roll ups 5/10. read more

What a fun spot! After seeing the photos on Yelp, I knew I had to head in with my son. We went on a Saturday early afternoon and they got busy quickly. The only downside was there was only one employee working, I believe he was the owner. So the wait did get really long for folks since he had to do everything at once. Making the rolled ice cream definitely takes a hot minute so it isn't the fastest experience. I love how they put the stools in front of the rolled ice cream window so that kids can watch the fun. My son loved standing up there and seeing his ice cream get made. The owner was great at engaging with my son while he rolled the ice cream. The ice cream itself was creamy and tasty. Our favorite was probably the strawberry! I didn't try any boba tea on this visit, but I would certainly give it a try the next time I am in. read more

I'm a little disappointed in this place but I feel like it's mostly my fault. I went in and ordered a jasmine milk tea and the lady said they only do green milk teas. I didn't realize it was just gonna taste like matcha. It was good for what it was but I don't really like matcha like that . I kinda think it's odd that they won't do Jasmine milk tea when they already have all those ingredients, but whatever. My friend got passion fruit tea and that was good! They have cute specialty drinks and lots of options for rolled ice cream! The store is also clean and cute. I would definitely try them again and get something different. read more

This drink was so unique and delicious! I got oat milk instead of regular milk so idk what normal milk would taste like with it, since it's 1/2 coconut milk and 1/2 milk. It's definitely for those who like coconut but I think subbing the pooping boba out for lychee jelly made it better. I'm looking forward to trying their other drinks! read more

I was looking for a dessert place and came across Champloo Desserts. They serve rolled ice cream, milk tea, iced tea, milkshakes, smoothies, lemonade and boba. It was a little hard to find because Apple maps took me to Food Lion / Hoppy Endings but it's next to the NC Endodontics in the same plaza. I ordered the Rocky Road (KitKat and Oreo mixed with chocolate ice cream and topped with pocky and whipped cream) and it was pretty good! It's a cute place and I love pandas so I was so excited to go there. I'll be back! read more

Went here for a quick snack on a Sunday afternoon. I wanted a tea drink and my husband ordered the ice cream. I love to watch rolled ice cream be made. It's something relaxing about seeing it get to the final product that looks so great even those it starts off at just a liquid with some add ins. My husband had no complaints and I tried a bite and it was yummy. My mango tea was very good and I ordered extra tapioca pearls. It was not very busy for a Sunday after so we got our items very quick and we were like the only one inside the store. The workers were nice, not overly friendly but just quick good service. I don't live near here but if I'm ever in the area, I will swing by for a snack! read more

My all-time favorite boba place. Always friendly, especially the owners. They have the best black milk tea. It has a similar taste to another place in Raleigh near Leesville. I don't actually taste the strong "tea" taste, which is good. it's a distinct taste that only this place and another one has had so far. More like milk and brown sugar. It's a taste I crave. My husband has had a lot of different varieties, the Matcha paradise, Taro, Tiramisu, Latte Love, they're all very good. they also have an interesting type of rolled ice cream dessert. And now they started putting cakes, macaroons and pastries up front. read more

Amazing Taste, but the Pearls Could Be Better The taste of this brown sugar bubble tea is amazing, creamy, flavorful, and indulgent. My all-time favorite boba place. The service was great, workers were friendly and I felt welcomed. The brown sugar adds the right amount of sweetness, but I found the tapioca pearls to be a little softer than I prefer. I'm still a fan though, and I'll be back for more. read more

Wow wow wow wow everything about this WOW. I have been on a mission to try the famed "rolled ice cream" and I'm both happy and sad that Champloo was my first experience. Happy because it was LITERALLY the best, but sad because I'm pretty sure now, nothing will compare to this golden standard. I had gone to dinner with friends in the area and we were on the lookout for a dessert place that had options for my dairy free friend, and we hit the jackpot. They have a dairy free option for the rolled ice cream and you can also indulge in one of their fruit teas, or a milk tea made with almond milk. The space is fairly small, but there are a few tables inside where you can watch the staff make the rolled ice cream as well as some outside seating. For those who don't know, this is a technique that originated in Thailand, where sweet cream and your choice of mix ins is combined, and then spread across a freezing cold surface and then scraping the frozen cream into perfect little rolls! There were so many house creations to choose from, as well as create your own options! We'll start with the boba. Hands down, best boba I've ever had. My go to order is usually a coconut milk tea, so I opted to order the coconut splash: a coconut milk tea with blueberry pearls and strawberry purée. It was literally perfect! Great flavors, the sweetness was right on for me, and the presentation was great too! My friend ordered the Gamora (green tea with strawberry pearls and strawberry purée) and this one was great as well! On to the ice cream! There are so many options to choose from, and after much deliberation, I landed on the BREAKFAST. The vanilla cream was combined with fruity pebbles and rolled to perfection. The rolls are topped with whipped cream, strawberry syrup and more fruity pebbles. I ate every. Last. Bite. It was so decadent and overall just a 10/10 dessert in my opinion. The presentation was lovely as well! The staff was super friendly and it's fun to watch them make the ice cream. This seemed to be a popular destination for takeout, as well as DoorDash/Uber Eats. They also have a fun little photo station in the back, perfect for grabbing a great shot of these knockout desserts, or use the ring light to snap a selfie with your friends! read more

Why am I just finding out they are here?! I LOVE boba but have to make a trek to my closest one. Saw Champloo in an ad mailer and was thrilled that they were close by. Nice, clean, well lit and friendly staff. Love that they have non-dairy milk options. Got a strawberry mango smoothie with boba pearls and a blueberry pomegranate smoothie. I am very particular about the taste of my boba pearls and these were spot on perfect! I already know that they will be on my frequently visited list as I try different options from their vast menu variety. read more

Nicely tucked away location not far from WRAL soccer fields. Clean place with average noise factor. Neat menu options. Our group of four tried out only boba tea options. The Thai tea was good. We tried Caffeinator, which is great option if you're a coffee person. The Lavender black tea with boba had a very subtle lavender note which was pleasant. Saw many kids ordering the rolled ice cream, so they must be good too. read more

I called before I came on New Year's Day and they were operating under regular hours. The person who answered the phone confirmed their hours. When I told him I was on the way 35 minutes before closing they were more than happy to oblige. I initially came here for the vegan rolled ice cream in hopes of trying rolled ice cream for the first time. When I walked in I was warmly greeted. I took. brief moment to peruse the menu. I knew I wanted the ice cream but the Mango Rose boba caught my eye. So I ordered it along with the ice cream. They informed me that the their vegan ice cream is still being perfected but to try back in a week. Fortunately, the Mango Rose Tea with double boba was the perfect plan B. I love mango tea anyway but the rose gave it such a nice floral note. The boba was fresh and perfectly chewy and the sweetness level was just right. The best part of the experience was the great service I received from Z and Marcus. They were personable, helpful and candid in their suggestions. I will definitely be back soon. read more

Great for rolled ice cream!! Absolutely not a thing I would change with that base recipe! It was sooo creamy and the flavors were on point. I don't think the staff was putting the correct toppings on some of our orders but honestly it still worked fine and the kids loved it. This is where I have to be honest though.... I would not recommend Champloo for a bubble tea aficionado. It may just be that the batch was off but my boba was hard when I got my drink. That is a huge no-no for me. It should be soft and chewy but rather it tasted like the boba has been sitting cold for quite awhile. Also half of the menu was "unavailable at this time " which left much more to be desired because it was staple flavors that they did not have. read more

Took my nieces and sister here to try boba drinks for the first time. They didn't like them and ended up throwing up on the car ride home!

Friendly and helpful staff though! Their selfie station is super nice and we were able to get a bunch of pictures taken. read more

Finding boba close to me seems to be a struggle. However, I can't believe I stumbled across Champloo Desserts! As soon as I walked in, I knew the atmosphere was great. They have many cute decorations throughout their store, which immediately caught my attention! I get lured in by product placement, often, and let me tell you, having cute pandas and boba stuffed animals around the store really made me want to purchase a drink! So guess what I did? I decided on the pumpkin cheese cake brown sugar boba. Let me tell you something! It was amazing! I'm pretty sure this is a seasonal drink, which is very sad news, however, pumpkin flavor has been hitting hard recently! This was definitely a great seasonal boba drink. The boba had good taste and the texture was perfect. They have many different drink options, such as taro, fruit tea, and coffee tea, for whatever you're feeling. They also sell pastries, that looked pretty delicious as well. But let's talk about their rolled ice cream. Yeah, you heard me! Even if you don't order the ice cream, it's entertaining to watch. But y'all know me! I tried the cookies and cream rolled ice cream topped with oreo and chocolate drizzle! It was pretty good, considering it was entertaining to watch and the flavor was very sweet, which is what I like. Overall everything tasted pretty great! The employees are nice, and they always offer for you to look over the menu open entrance! I say this cute boba shop deserves some new visits! So head on down to champloo desserts for a cute atmosphere and great sweets! read more

Their drinks are on the quirkier side compared to other boba places in the sense that they offer SpecialTeas that each have their own drink base and toppings (vs most boba shops where you order a drink base and add toppings to it). So I decided to stray from my usual classic, black/oolong milk tea order and tried the Gamora, which was green tea + strawberry popping boba + strawberry purée. In my mind, when I read the drink's description, I thought it'd be like a strawberry matcha latte (I love SMLs made correctly), but the Gamora tasted nothing like that. First off, the drink was too sweet (I forgot to adjust sugar). Secondly, there was some weird taste, which may have been the popping boba?? Idk but I didn't like to very much. This drink has scarred me from going back to give Champloo a second chance 0_0 But, I will give an extra star because the worker was nice and offered to remake my drink if I didn't like it (should've taken them up on that) read more
