Another great visit. Enjoyed using their free wifi while I drank my drink. It's a very quiet shop and the staff is very nice! read more

We came to get boba before dropping off our car at the airport! Who knew Ohio had some pretty good boba?? Parking: street parking. Was pretty easy to find during a Sunday afternoon. Menu options: I like that it was quite customizable! Drinks: pretty good! Generous size, flavorful, and the boba was actually cooked well. Wow! Would I come here again? Yah, if I'm in Ohio! read more

I don't drink bubble tea as much anymore but had noticed this one pop up a few months ago. My sister and I finally had the chance to visit. We found parallel parking across the street. It's located right across from Capital University. Not a large space at all. A few tables and chairs but it's decorated well with a lot of nice pillows. It's technically connected to the gym since you can walk in between both from inside. I got a classic black milk tea while my sister got some sort of butterfly pea match milk tea? It looked really pretty! The drinks were light. Not very tea-flavored. And we chose 50% which was perfect- not super sweet. The boba was a bit too soft. Staff was nice. Really helpful explaining that certain flavors weren't available. Drinks come out fast as well. I'm not in this area of town often but I'm glad that they're over here! read more

Service was friendly and fast, but I think I picked the wrong kind of drink (and they added boba despite me asking them not to). Plus the "this is a gym and also a coffee shop" setup didn't quite work for me. So basically, not a great first experience, but the patio is nice and they have lots of other drinks to try, so I think they deserve a second chance next time I'm in the neighborhood. read more

First Corner Bubble Tea Shop - Bubble Tea Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

The tea is good at this place (taro is my usual) and I used to visit regularly. However, I had to give 3 stars based on my last experience with them, which admittedly was a while ago. They were having a BOGO deal and ended up double charging me. Once I noticed the duplicate charge, I called in and they said they would write my name and credit amount down on a piece of paper. When I returned a few weeks later to redeem that credit, they said they couldn't find it and I had to pay full price. I haven't been back since, which is a shame since I live in the Bexley area and want to support local businesses. read more

Driving out of the way to Bexley for some new exploration on other bubble tea place. This place is small and cozy. Great place to chill out on the weekend. They are connect to a gym on the side. Their menu is concise and they do have some new item posted in the side as well. I got the Summer Delight with Mango. Super refreshing read more

This shop was a bit of a drive for us, but it was worth it! We parked a few blocks away as parking was quite limited, but the walk was nice. When we entered, it wasn't too busy and the ambiance was amazing! Super relaxing and the staff was friendly. They were even playing Taylor Swift in the shop! The drinks were delicious and I hope to be back again soon. read more

Didn't even greet me. Stared at me. Shop reeks of plastic. Inside a gym. In all fairness I did not buy anything. read more

This place was very cute! It was connected with a gym which was interesting, but I really liked their decor. They have plants by the front and then on the side they had seating areas where you could take pictures. I also really appreciated that they had alternative milk options such as oat, coconut, and almond. My friend got one of their fruit smoothies which she said was great :) I just got a Thai tea lol. It's been a while since I got bubble tea so I really just wanted a classic. It was pretty good but I was intrigued by the fruit smoothie. If I ever come back, I'll definitely try that out! read more

Intended to go to Zencha Tea Salon for boba tea and stumbled upon this place on the way so I stopped in. Sure glad I did, because this placed definitely had better boba teas than I remember Zencha having. It's a bit hidden next to a small gym. Lots of options for bubble flavors and tea flavors. Ordered one of the specials, Blue Butterfly Matcha, which has blue cream on top of slightly sweetened matcha tea, naturally colored blue by Thai butterfly bean flowers. It wasn't overly sweet which I so much appreciated, as most boba teas are way too sweet. Definitely recommend this drink and would come back just for it. read more

Stumbled upon this place after visiting the Bexley farmers market. Decided to get a caramel blue bubble tea just for it's beauty but it was so tasty. Definitely one of my favorite boba drinks of all time! Service was fast and friendly, even near the closing hour! Cute interior and unique drinks on the menu read more

I came here for a work meeting and I can't say it was the best choice. The seating is very limited and it was noisy with customers... which is ultimately a good thing. It's also attached to a gym -- but that's here nor there. The bubble tea wasn't expensive and it was definitely satisfying. I got the Thai Iced Tea; to my delight, it's already made with non dairy milk powder, but the other choices had a plant based option, too. I'll definitely be back here but next time, will take my drink to go! read more

Ordered their blue butterfly bubble tea and apple green bubble tea. None of them have any tea taste in it.. just taste like flavored milk. Not gonna deny, but the blue butterfly bubble tea does looks pretty. However not worth trying if you're a tea lover. read more

This boba shop is mediocre at best. The workers were rude and snotty. I watched multiple people be so polite and say thank you etc and we're ignored but the girl working. I wish i would've caught her name but she has a BAD attitude. The place was trashed. The tables were all dirty the couches are covered in stains and look just disgusting and there was trash all over. It was so hot inside the shop it was suffocating. It took like 25 minutes for three drinks which was wild but then the drinks which were EXPENSIVE were pretty bland. I got the strawberry cheesecake boba and it had 0 flavor unless it was the strawberry part. I forced myself to drink it because holy crap like 7 dollars???? Wild. It's connected to a gym which is weird but not the worst thing. Only giving it two stars because my kids liked their drinks. read more

I can tell you that my wife loves this place. Every time they put a new feature on their social media, she sends me the reshape and demands that we go and check it out. Often when we go here, it is pretty packed, but the line goes amazingly fast. Customer service here is always excellent and accommodating, even when swamped. My go-to drinks here are peach, passionfruit, and lychee flavor teas. They are all so refreshing, and they have an awesome taste! I love that they are not overly sweet and have a smooth taste. Another thing that so many other people love is value. You get a pretty good drink in a sizable container for an incredible price; you can't really beat that. read more

Thai tea is powdered. Forgot to ask. This is more of a preppy kids spot than for actual tea. Do not recommend, unless you're a 15 year old girl with a limited understanding of existence. read more

5/5 by Columbus bubble tea standards 4/5 on a more rigorous grading scale Ordered the classic black milk tea without tapioca and the peach frozen tea also without tapioca. Milk tea actually tastes like tea (which is WONDERFUL). The peach frozen tea was slightly sweet for our taste (just want to be clear that we prefer things a little less sweet than most) but the taste was pretty spot on, accurately tasting like peach and tea. We were glad that the drinks were well chilled :) read more

I was curious that this place would open up right next to Zencha on Main street - I'm fairly certain they are associated as the staff was wearing Zencha shirts on the day I came in! We've been here twice since it opened. The first time they forgot my boba but the second time both orders were done correctly. It's a good solid place for bubble tea - I'm looking forward to some of the fancier mixes that have been advertised but are not available yet. Ordering online and picking up is very convenient. read more

So fun! Definitely worth a trip to Bexley for great boba tea! Recommend the hibiscus with peach boba -- great tasting & healthy. Great customer service, I always look forward to treating myself! read more

I got a Thai bubble tea with boba and it was pretty good! I wouldn't hang out there though, plan to take your drink to go, it's attached to a fitness center and the whole place smells like B.O. read more

Nice space. I think First Corner's simple, natural lite wood tones is cool; I'm not quite sure how I feel with there being gym equipment from Snap Fitness in the background, but it is what it is - and I give FCBTS points for maximizing the space. I tried my go-to Taro Milk Tea with extra bubbles. The tapioca pearls were cooked just right - chewy, squishy, and on the sweet side (as opposed to some places - I will not name - which have foul tasting tapioca balls). I do wish my drink had a tad more tarp flavor, but that's a personal preference, not worth losing an entire star. The COVERED front patio is great: colorful tables and chairs, shaded from the direct sun, and great for people watching. There's a few shelves inside with free take/replace books for your reading pleasure. And I like the corner nook for reading, sitting, or working on your laptop. Overall, service was great, so I'd definitely recommend. Besides, I feel like the Near East/Bexley/Whitehall areas could use more bubble tea options. read more

One of the best boba places in Columbus hands down! I would highly recommend that you guys try their brown sugar milk tea boba.

I kept seeing ads for a new bubble tea place in Columbus, and being a bubble tea lover I had to try it! They just opened this week, and it is in the same place as Snap Fitness. It is so cutely decorated and the staff is all very polite and helpful! They obviously know and love their product and had good recommendations. Today me and my friend tried the caramel and hazelnut and they were both really good! Personally I preferred the hazelnut! We got light sweetness on the caramel and it was still pretty sweet, and normal sweetness on the hazelnut which tasted lighter in sweetness to me but that may be the nature of the flavors! Overall the drinks were both very creamy, cold, and came with bubbles. The bubbles were a bit chewier in texture than my liking but still really good. The milk tea itself tasted of good quality and flavor. If I were to compare, I would say the tea quality is close with vivi and kft, and better than other small local tea places I've tried. I would come to this place again to try more flavors! read more

Amazing little place! I'm big on supporting small business, specifically boba tea shops. Not only does this place have a cute atmosphere and kind workers, but amazing tea!
