Love the unique desserts and drinks! This is a must visit in Springfield if you're tired of the old, boring, same drink and dessert stops. Try the ice cream with marshmallows and Nutella. read more

My family and I came in on 5/22 at 6:45 and the lady working acted like she was not happy to see us because we had five people with us. We were facing the rolled ice cream section and she told us she could only make three ice creams because she was by herself. We were the only people in the cafe! It was my mom's birthday so two people didn't get to have any ice cream and it made her feel horrible! After we placed our order, she gave us major attitude the rest of the time we were there. The customer service at this place could improve drastically! This is the second time we've been here (the only rolled ice cream place near us) and my mom wanted us to go here for her birthday. Especially since it is my sister's favorite ice cream place. The customer service was just as bad back then (this was years ago) and we hoped it was better. This will most definitely be our last time here! read more

Great Boba! Great service! Cute interior has enough space for small or large parties! I would go here again! read more

Was sipping on my Milliani and I noticed something was a bit hard in my mouth, spat it out and turned out to be a piece of metal in my drink!!?? Seemed like a new trainee making my drink but wished they took more caution on things like this! read more

This is THE best place to get boba and it's amazing every time, I've been going here forever and there wouldn't be a tomorrow without this place! read more

Great flavors. Good selection. Need wider straws or smaller black boba. Hard to slurp up.

Coffee was weak Service was bad. So unhelpful and apathetic. Seemed more annoyed by my patronage than welcoming. Ambiance wasn't welcoming. While there ARE places to sit, they don't seem like they want you there. You'd think that a hole in the wall kind of place like this would really focus on quality but this tastes like water with chalk in it. I ordered the coffee mocha, whatever that means and it's seriously weak and not very good. I wouldn't recommend this place and I'm not coming back read more

if i could give 0 stars i would. the girls that you have working in this place are very rude and unprofessional. the person in front of us ordered rolled ice cream, we tried to and were told no- we were not given a reason, just told no. so we ordered boba instead and then the person behind us ordered rolled ice cream. like is it bc i'm black??? the girls working here need to realize they work in an ice cream shop, it's okay to smile and be kind. there's no reason to be rude to people for no reason. read more

Got the rose tea with honey boba. Either the milk was bad or the boba was rotten but there where big white chunks in my tea.

Ice cream rolls are delightful and ambiance is great. I love that they close late, which makes it perfect to go after dinner.

I love stopping by my favorite boba cafe in the Springfield area. The cafe is gorgeous inside! The employees are super nice and always make my drink perfectly. Thanks Kylie for making me this black milk tea! It's exactly what I needed tonight :) read more

I'm sorry to say this, but this is apparently one of the places you don't go on the weekends. You know how some restaurants and stuff just don't have good staff on the weekend? This is definitely when the b team works at this place. I was in there today and didn't seem like anybody knew what they were doing, but they were laughing it up and smacking their gum and having a big time. The beverages also suffered I'm sorry to say. read more

This was not that good. My drink tasted like a bath and body works candle, and the milk tea doesn't come with boba? You have to pay another 50 cents to add it? Also the black boba that I ordered was clear? I had high expectations and was let down. read more

Delicious drinks and rolled ice cream! I'm an idiot and spilt my drink everywhere by punching the top wrong and they quickly got me a new one and cleaned it up for me! Amazing customer service! read more

Update, Refused to serve rolling ice cream 20 mins before closing time, we drove all the way from other side of town. So sad :( Finally the first boba cafe in Springfield!! Not only did they sell boba drink but they also sell the rolling ice cream! I had Matcha green tea ice cream, was a little mild but the berry n' cream was the bomb! If you don't know what it is then you have to try it! The cafe is well decorated! 3 big screen TVs, comfy sofa, and modern tables and chairs. The only downside is the location, I hope people in springfield get a chance to try new types of drinks and ice cream from this place! read more

So I got the winter mint by accident when I ordered online my brain read watermelon but I was not let down the winter mint is so freaking good! I am glad I got it in a large! my food arrived quickly and every time I go I get amazing customer service from the employees there and the feel of their dining area is so pretty it is definitely a nice place to go and relax and enjoy some boba read more

Came here so excited to try this place based on the reviews and sadly, I was disappointed. I ordered a lychee boba and it tasted terrible. My friend had a melon drink and it had an off-putting after taste. More than anything and the very reason for my 1 star review was the service or lack thereof. The girl who helped us was very unfriendly. No eye contact, no smile, no thank you no nothing. No thanks, never coming back. read more

Yay, after months of practically stalking their location and facebook page, they finally opened! And I finally got around to trying it! I've been very excited for this boba cafe, finally Springfield has a boba specialty store of it's own! I went with my boyfriend and the staff was very friendly and helpful in describing all the flavors and types of drinks they offer with a smile on their face. You can really tell they love what they're doing, and I really appreciate that in a business! I ordered the La Boba Special, which was a black milk tea drink with chewy black tapioca pearls. The drink itself was so refreshing and the perfect level of sweetness for me - sweet but not too sweet. I just couldn't get over how refreshing it was! My boyfriend ordered the mango milk tea without tapioca pearls (why). His was also really refreshing, and had a nice crisp mango flavor. It was a little on the sweeter side though due to the favoring, so he liked the La Boba Special more but he still enjoyed this drink. I think it would be perfect on a warm and bright summer day! The only complaint about my La Boba Special drink was I thought the amount of ice was a tad too much. I like to move my straw around to control the amount of drink vs amount of tapioca pearls I chew on, so it was a bit difficult to do that. But I can just order mine in the future with less ice! The only thing I'm worried about for this store is the location is kinda hard to see, kind of like a hole in the wall location. But if the business promotes itself and advertises properly, I think it can really flourish because the drinks I tried were very declicious and I can't wait to go back and try more! I've heard lots of positives from other customers about their smoothies so maybe I should give that a go sometime! read more

CALL AHEAD IF YOU WANT ICE CREAM This was one of my favorite ice cream spots all throughout college, but like a lot of places during this time they are short staffed and weren't serving ice cream. They have lovely teas and friendly staff so I would still recommend a visit! read more

This place blows. No flavor in the drinks. Ordered a strawberry banana smoothie and it just tasted like milk and chalk.

Love this place, friendly, clean, and all the variety they have is just good . Not a fan of the snow cones, my thing are the smoothies, the avocado is amazing, even when sounds like weird. And coconut and banana are super good. I'll come back for sure. Love it!!! read more

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has been waiting for a place like this to open in Springfield. I first found out about it through the news leader, of all things... Yes, some of us still read the paper. :-). It's tucked away in the corner of the shopping center, so be sure and keep your eyes open when you're looking for it. It has a very modern artsy Decor, which doesn't quite fit the menu but that's not my call to make. They have a ton of options, all of which are completely customizable. I love green tea , and I'm an even bigger lover of boba so this place was fantastic for me. You can pick your tea Style, and your flavor of boba. Then, they use some sort of magical sealing machine and punch a big straw through the lid. This makes it easy to transport, but does not do much for insulating your drink. Be warned if you stop by on a hot day. I will definitely come here again and again, and try something new every time. If I was a millionaire, I would definitely check into setting up one of the shops myself... Or maybe in the style of a mobile food truck. This would go over like a big hit in the right crowd. It's fun, interesting, and a novel thing for Springfield. read more

Came into the store at 7:25 PM to order some rolled ice cream and some tall kid with curly hair said they are closing in 30 minutes, and they didn't want to clean the ice cream area again. They have lost our business. Very unprofessional! read more

Delicious ice cream with a very unique & fun experience! We got the Oreo rolled ice cream, it was creamy and the topping options where awesome. It's a very cool atmosphere with the decor, and it's interesting to watch them roll the ice cream. We will be back to try their boba next time! read more

First legit and modern boba shop in Springfield! Great decor, awesome drinks, and great customer service. My favorites are there infused flavor ice tea. There's also variety of toppings to choose from that really compliment the drinks perfectly They even added ice cream rolls recently which are to die for. I'm a huge fan of smores and when I found out they have one speciality ice cream called "bonfire" which is basically having smores in ice cream form. Simply amazing! Great place to hang out with friends I totally recommend this place to anyone. read more

If Spring had a flavor it would be the Jasmine Boba tea from here, it is fresh, light, and the tapioca was perfect. The prices are reasonable and the service was fast with a very polite staff. I'm more than willing to drive out of my way to come get Boba from here. They also have a great selection of smoothies, snow Boba, and ice cream! read more

La Boba Cafe - So many combinations! Slowly working through their list of signature mixes. - Cafes Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

this is the second time I've showed up with 30 minutes until close and they close the rolled ice cream bar early. it doesn't say it online either it says 8:00. not only that, their phone doesn't work either. horribly unreliable. and when I come even earlier the second time they started closing earlier. lazy business. don't shop here. unprofessional and unfriendly. zero apology either. ridiculous! read more

I love the flavor selection they have, but I'd recommend going to Societea as they have much better service and nicer employees. I was here and received hard-as-rock boba that wouldn't even go through my straw and I couldn't chew, so i went up to the counter in hopes of talking to someone and the girl making rolled ice cream just glared at me and ignored me. Asked another girl if maybe the boba was undercooked but instead of waiting until I could have fresh boba we decided I'd try the white boba instead. Just as hard, couldn't eat it. :( didn't want to bother them again, just wish it was made right read more

Love this place. Hubby has made multiple trips in the two weeks we have known about it. (To get me multiple drinks lol) Had tried every place is Springfield ... nothing is as good! read more
