Are you the milk tea type? Because I am! Fat straws has a classic milk tea that I loveeeeeeee! The thing about fat straws is that the are not stingy. If you go to any other tapioca place, they're are stingy. I always ask for my milk tea without ice and they fill your whole cup up! If you go to any other place, they don't do that! How awesome is that? Their new mochi doughnuts are SOOOOOO good. I am so glad I got to try a sample the other day. At first, I didn't care to try it but the staff member insisted and boy am I glad she insisted!! These little doughnuts were not extremely sweet and I love the slightly chewy texture of it. I tried the Oreo one and the passion fruit. Ouuuuuu so good. I can't wait to go back for more of those and the oh so creamy milk tea!!! read more

Love the combinations on the menu of Bubba Tea drinks. I have been there twice, look forward to going again. Parking is a little tight the one by the Galleria; there are two locations been to both. So worth going to. So far my favorite. read more

Of course after many years of commitment coming to Fat Straws they never change. The atmosphere is always so relaxing & chilling that you can lounge around and hang out with your friends. Vietnamese Frappe w Bobas has always been my all time favorite. The Bobas is always so soft and chewy just like how it suppose to be. The flavoring of the coffee is always so consistent, like French press mixed with condense milk. Fat Straws never fails to be my all time favorite Boba Tea Place read more

Their milk tea never misses. I wish the menu was a little more accessible - you can't see it until you've gotten to the cash register to order so I always just go with my usual. I've heard mixed reviews on the mochi donuts but I'm gluten free so I haven't tried one read more

I really love this place and love the taste of their teas but what's with the service? I asked for bubbles on the side so I could let my nephew um-num on them and they said they have to charge for the minimum cheapest drink amount?? What's up with that? Then the next time I went my friend had to argue for her tea because the worker said they didn't have it but she had just had it a few days earlier and it turned out he just didn't want to spend his time of day to brew a batch for her. Sigh* read more

Came in here today to get a smoothie after my workout. *I know. Don't judge me*. Getting in, the guy at the desk offered me a sample of the tea of the day. I don't remember what it was but I was set on getting a smoothie anyway. The cashier was very pleasant and mentioned that he was there to answer any questions that I had. I have a hard time with decisions so he told me what the favorite smoothies are. I opted for the peach mango smoothie with no tapioca. I've never been a fan of tapioca or chewy stuff in my drink so I opted out of the jellies that he suggested as an alternative. The peach mango was amazing!!!! The service was stellar and I'll definitely be returning here. read more

Was happy with our order. Wish I had the young girls name that helped us. She was extremely professional and very welcoming with my princess ( daughter). Enjoy coming here, although parking is a pita. Will be back for sure soon. read more

It has been a very long time since my initial review in 2016! In my first review, I had not discovered the brewed teas yet. After I started ordering those, Fat Straws became my go-to boba place-- and they kept my (daily) business for 4 years! The brewed teas were delicious and unique compared to all other boba places, and I loved their pumpkin spice milk tea in fall. The excellent customer service never faltered. If I had updated my review a couple years ago, my rating would have been 4.5 stars. However....in September 2021, my rating is 2 stars. The reason: Price-gouging. Fat Straws drink prices rose steadily over the years; I think the price of the drinks I usually purchased increased 25% since 2016. That was already questionable....however, the tapioca costs were the last straw. Using the boba shortage as an excuse, Fat Straws increased the cost of tapioca by $0.25 AND decreased the amount you get by half! In other words, every customer pays 50% more money for 50% less boba. What the heck, Fat Straws. I would be more sympathetic if the boba shortage were that significant. I know the pandemic changed many things. However, many of their competitors were able to maintain prices and boba servings. Observing that makes me question whether Fat Straws was really impacted by the boba shortage to such an extent. Personally, I do not believe it. I have already taken most of my business elsewhere. I occasionally still come to the store to support the great staff who work behind the counter. If they were not there, I would never come back. read more

This has always been my go to place for bubble tea when in the Addison area. The staff is friendly, the store clean, and the products are always delicious. They also have a lounge area inside with comfortable sitting should you chose to chill there. They have two other locations in Dallas and Plano. You can always add tapioca bubbles and/or jellies to any of their menu items. The Bubbles and Jellie are extra $0.40 per scoop, but worth it! I normally get the large $4.60 Pina Colada smoothie with bubbles but always try the summer specials they run like the Watermelon Cooler. Wife loves the large $3.89 Lychee flavored Slushy with bubbles...thats pretty much what she gets for the many times we've come here. They offer daily brews, a wide variety of artisan teas, flavored iced tea, flavored smoothies, flavored slush, variety of coffee, frappes, and shakes. You basically have a wide variety of drinks to chose from and all are well made. Will definitely be back here. read more

I came here on a late weekend really looking forward to try their mochi donuts. To my dismay they ran out! So I ordered their hibiscus tea and watermelon cooler. Both drink were underwhelming and nothing great about it. It tasted ok but I dont think i would be returning for their drinks unless its my last resort. Ill try again for the donuts. read more

I've never had mochi donuts until recently! If you are looking to be a little adventurous then this is the place for you! You walk in and everything feels clean and employees are wearing their gloves/masks with good labels for social distancing. The mochi donuts are made fresh and their taste reflect it! I was so surprised that they're not overly sweet like regular donuts. I got to try a few and my favorites are definitely black sesame and matcha donuts! The frosting are not super sweet and truly taste like their respective flavors!! I love them and can't wait to return! Not a big fan of the passion fruit one though - it was tart and just not what I expected. Almost tasted like a lemon donut. I also got milk tea and although they tasted okay (you get to titrate level of sweetness), I'd recommend getting it elsewhere unless you have a huge craving. Overall, it was a fun experience and I'm going to recommend this to friends and family! :) read more

Love this place. I usually stop by here before my hair appt next door. I get the strawberry piña colada smoothie with boba. Delicious. I also really like the mochi donuts they have avail. I get the strawberry. It's more dense than a traditional donut. They have a few flavors avail. Customer service is always good here. read more

The boba here is not good but that's ok because most people come for the mochi donuts, which are :) they have a nice texture and come in many flavors. My favs are black sesame and fruity pebbles. read more

Took my step daughter there for the first time the other day. It was alright. They didn't explain what the different drinks were very well . Maybe if i had a better understanding , I would have ordered something more to my liking. The tea was still good though. I will go back and try other stuff. read more

Fat straws is my ultimate go to boba place. I wish I lived closer to one, but it's always a great treat when I do make it out to one. Their boba is always the perfect consistency. You HAVE to try a mochi donut as well. My favorites are the strawberry and black sesame! My husband and I catered a variety of drinks for our wedding and our guest loved it. We also have come during the Covid-19 pandemic and will continue to do so because we love it so much. Thank you for all the work you've put into making Fat Straws a consistently great boba place! read more

I've had my fair share of bubble tea, so I have a pretty good idea what elements make the perfect cup. Not familiar with this establishment, I figured you can't really go wrong with the classic milk tea with bubbles, so I went with a regular cup. To be accurate, my rating is a 3.5 star. I didn't think the milk tea tasted authentic at all. There was barely any tea flavor. There were, however, lots of milk and sugar. I must say that the boba, or bubbles, were a good texture, but the drink in its entirety was lacking authenticity and the aroma I look for in a good cup of milk tea. I'd return if I was around again but likely to sample something a bit more fruity instead of tea. My other half bought some fruity drink with boba and it was much better than my milk tea, so I'd advise going for those selections instead. Other than that, the space is cozy and cute with several tables and a lounging area. Perfect stop on a hot summer day. Nothing to complain about the service either. read more

**changed my mind after eating more n more of them. Loved the maccha, sesame, n pandan flavors. Hated the ube one since it was too sweet. The more I ate, the more I liked it. They r soft n chewy n fluffy, n still good even 2 days later!!! Can't beat that with any other donuts. U can't even eat other donuts after a few hours, but these stayed good for 2 days! I ate every last piece of it! read more

Taro milk tea boba tasted very diluted and strangely like fruity pebbles.... the coconut milk tea is good if you like a strong coconut flavor, similar to a piña colada. The donuts were alright, nothing special. Lighter than your regular donut but I wouldn't go out of my way to get this again. $7 for the drink and donut. read more

This fat straws location is consistently great. The drinks are always delicious, the service is quick and friendly, and there are games! Not a ton of parking, but you can go around the corner and park in the parking garage if you can't find a spot. I always order the mango green tea and the boba is the perfect, soft consistency. I also like that their drinks aren't overly sweet! Make sure you register for their rewards program to get money off your order or work towards a free drink! read more

The girl behind the counter was very helpful. Ended up getting a coconut snow with boba and it was delicious.

This place used to be 5/5.. Idk what happened, did they switch owners or something? It went from being so fabulous to being.. Hmm. I ordered a Vietnamese frappe: my favorite and ultimately one of the best drinks there and the first thing I heard after I ordered it was "how do you make it?" OMG NO!!! new employees, new workers. They didn't know how to make it and it came out with such disappointment.. why me. Why always la me? Atleast the boba still taste so good. But I don't think I'm coming back again. The atmosphere is a bit different as well, it's not as cheery and fun as it used to be. I want to try the horchata milk tea tho, everyone was getting it. Maybe next time. read more

Awesome customer service!! Brittney was smiley and friendly very customer service oriented. I would hire her and Ofcourse delish thai and taro tea!! Thank you to the whole team!! read more

Fat Straws was (continues to be, actually) an integral part of my DFW upbringing - not even kidding. It has been a consistent part of most celebrations whether it was being done with an exam or a bigger milestone. The drinks are consistently amazing and I've loved anything/everything I've tried over the last decade and longer, between this location and the one in Plano! Their teas are always great as are their slushes! And the "Tea of the Day" has always been a plus. It was at this point when the Liquid Jade tea was "Tea of the Day" and I fell in love with it! With a taste of rose, it's excellent with honey instead of sugar. It has been my go-to for the last few years! It takes them about 2 minutes to steep it since it's not a regular tea people ask for. Most teas they have though -- you can expect to be heading out with them in less than a few minutes! They're very, very fast here. Boba is also consistently great here! I didn't think Fat Straws could top itself until I was back and visiting Texas after having moved away and saw they had Chamoyadas with spicy straws! They had 3 different flavors, the mango being the best and classic, and the spicy straw just added that additional kick! SO SO good. Im away from Dallas right now and was thinking of the drink which prompted me to remember I hadn't written a review for Fat Straws yet! Love this place and you should, too! There's ample seating, although it can get crowded at certain times of the day including late afternoon/evening. But the line is ALWAYS worth it! read more

I came here craving a sweet, milky caffeine pick me up before hitting the galleria. I got the Jasmine milk tea with stevia and no boba. My boyfriend got the taro milk tea. They both tasted so watered down, not milky at all. Kinda like how it would if it was full of ice and had been sitting out for a few hours. It was gross I had to toss mine after drinking half of it. The taro was a little better. On the plus side, service was friendly and quick! read more

We had the pleasure of trying three different drinks on our first visit. We even tried one seasonal shake, the peppermint shake. The other two drinks we had were Thai tea with boba and cookies and cream shake with boba. All were pretty good.. nothing fantastically different than other tea shops, but the menu is much more extensive than some I've been to. I like places with as many options as they have! The environment is cozy, and I would totally study here if I lived closer. They had it decorated so cute for Christmas with a full tree, stockings, and string lights. They had toys and games for my daughter to play with and stay busy, as well. We were pleased that the boba is perfect texture, something I wish I could say for all tea places. Sadly, we have found so many that give you tough pearls! The price irritated my husband a bit, as they charged about $2 more than menu price for the cookies and cream and the peppermint flavors. We ended up paying $16 for three drinks! It was pretty steep compared to our regular tea shops. All in all, it was a good experience. Not the best, but I'd recommend! read more

I ordered a vietnamese coffee regular with bubbles. Vietnamese coffee base tasted like vietnamese coffee. The bubble was cooked enough to not have the semi tapioca flour texture that is sad. Drink 5/5 As for whether this is a good place to study o say 3/5. There are a couple of tables and outlets. This bubble tea place is more of a chill with friends and catch up over tea place, not a let me get down to the grind. Music is too loud, hard to hear others or yourself think. Tl;dr come for bubble tea but go elsewhere for conversation or working. read more

I love this place! This location was close to my old apartment and they are a great place to stop by if you are having a craving for something sweet and cold. My favorite drink here has to be the coconut milk tea. Recently they also started selling the mochi donuts which are amazing as well. The best ones probably have to be the fruity pebbles or the matcha. Not to mention the inside setting is super cute and the workers that I've interacted with have always given me great service. You should give this place a try. read more

I think I ordered the wrong thing. I had the tea of the day, garden of eden. They give you a choice of how sweet, and which sweetener. I stupidly chose honey. I dunno, just didn't taste great to me. Oh well, maybe another time. read more

I feel like there can be a pretty drastic variation in quality between bubble tea locations. Maybe someone with an unrefined palette can't tell the difference. But, to me, a good milk tea should actually taste like tea. Obviously tea with milk. But tea should definitely be in the mix. And some places I've been (predominantly in Richardson) just taste like sweetened milk with some sort of fruit. That's not a problem here. Milk tea tastes like milk and tea and flavor. All combined in a wonderful concoction. With boba. Unless you're a chump and don't get the boba. read more

Blech! I feel sorry for those of you who think that this is as good as pearl tea gets. Admittedly, I was spoiled in California, getting my pearl tea from a place that imported all its ingredients directly from Taiwan, but STILL.... Pearls: cooked well, good consistency, but flavorless! Pearls should be soaked in honey for at least 2 hours before being served. These obviously hadn't been soaked at all. Furthermore, the portion was skimpy. I ran out of pearls way before I ran out of tea. Tea: I had the peach green tea, which had a good flavor but was terribly watered-down. The abundance of ice also meant that by the time I got to the bottom of the cup, I was drinking colored water. A good pearl tea place (sigh...) will give you strong tea to start with, then just enough ice (read: very little) so that it's cold but not watery by the time you reach the bottom. Flavor selection: terrible, although they get points for offering taro milk tea. Seriously, though, where's hazelnut? lychee? banana? the list goes on.... Plus, you can only get certain flavors hot, certain flavors cold, and certain flavors in smoothies. What?!? Price: almost $4 for the large, pretty standard for boba prices, but in the case of Fat Straws, NOT WORTH IT. And thus, my quest to find truly good boba in Dallas continues. {sigh} read more

Friendly service. I got a classic milk tea with 2 scoops boba... was wonderful. Got a churro donut as well. Very good.
