I've heard of bubble tea before and in honesty tried it from here before but being so excited yet…read moreinexperienced I probably picked a really bizarre combination. Lychee juice with tapioca balls - yay... The lychee juice was really nice but not with the pudding balls. This time around I went for black tea, cold with the tapioca balls (I'd heard those are the best ones) and I was happy with this combo - don't mess with the classics. The staff were friendly, the place clean and the menu extensive. Frozen yoghurt also available which sounds great in the summer. A point to make though is those tapioca balls are really really filling. I felt like I'd eaten a meal after I was done so maybe give them a miss if you've just eaten.

I love meecha, I've been buying their drinks for past 12 months or more though I stress only few…read moretimes through that time! I've collected stamps on their loyalty card and had a free drink already! They have a great range of bubble teas, bubble coffees and the slush ones (which I haven't tried yet) as well as frozen yoghurt etc. Today I bought the Rose bubble coffee and had the tapioca pearls and coffee jelly. You can have drinks cold (with or without ice), warm or even hot. My drink was sweet but nice. You do need a spoon to get the tapioca and jelly out at the end... I think I need to perfect my suck action ha ha You can use your NUS card to get a discount and they do charge a fee if you pay by card.

Absolutely delicious drinks! I came here twice while I was a tourist in Coventry! For my first…read moredrink I tried a tropical fruit tea with cherry bubble balls. It was so sweet and tasty that I had to force myself not to guzzle it down, and drink it slowly. I had to revisit the tea shop for another drink, because in my hometown we don't have any bubble tea shops like this one! On my second visit I had a bubble gum milkshake with blueberry bubble balls. This was my favorite drink. If I had more time in Coventry I would have returned again and again! I love the fun atmosphere of the shop with the bright colors! The staff was very friendly and helpful in recommending which bubbles go best with each drink.

Bubble Boba is THE most amazing bubble tea shop in the world!…read more I don't say that biasedly because I'm in there almost every day and have tried all of the drinks on the menu... But because it's The Truth! They use the best ingredients, straight from manufacturers in Taiwan, which is where bubble tea originated from; everything certified by the EU and UK laws. Both Bubble Boba shops (Coventry & Cardiff) are an experience within themselves! From the really cool and fun decor, to the knowledgeable and friendly staff... I've never had a bad experience! Except maybe from the UK weather! The drink flavours are fun and unique, and many say taste "Just Like Home"! I've only been able to find Hokkaido Milk Tea in California, but Bubble Boba has it, along with Classic, Taro and other traditional flavours. They even have their own range of Cheesecake Drinks which are out of this world! Who would have thought to drink a cheesecake for dessert!? Hands down, Bubble Boba is the best. But don't take my word for it... check out their 99.9% of 5-star reviews across all platforms. :) People drive for hours to get their hands around those sealed cups to pop a giant straw through it to obtain pure happiness! If you're craving an amazing delicious bubble tea... I'll see you at Bubble Boba!

Getting a milk tea drink is probably the last thing on your mind in Oxford. I felt is was my duty to try this place out. My expectations were low. The menu presentation was excellent. I didn't hear Cantonese or Mandarin being spoken. I didn't get what I love the most "service with a smile". Usually in the use this usually cute young Asian girl servers. For an extreme example, check out and google Cafe Lu (I have never been). I am glad this place calls the Tapioca balls by Pearls! Thank you represent for Cantonese! Milk tea is Canto not Tawainese. Boba is Tawainese but it's is like finger nails on a chalkboard when I hear that word. Damn you Southern California. I try not to use the word Boba as much. If you have a true Tawainese friend like me. She kept giggling at me. The slang word in Taiwanese "boba" means boobs! You're welcome. That girl has some nice boba. I can't tell if that is all natural boba. Only in England. I asked for my milk tea drink without ice. In the US, this means a half assed lukewarm drink but in England. I got it James Bond style! Shaken not stirred! I saw the lady making my drink in a clear martini shaker and the technique was flawless. She could be a bartender. I ordered a Roasted Milk tea with glass jelly and milk pudding. I was going straight Fobbing. Oh snap! I am I FOB! I am fresh of the plane from across the pond. The drink was very rich and the sweetening was off. The drink tasted powder very Tapioca Express like. I didn't really taste the tea but it still kind of hit the spot. But you need to keep mixing because the power will settle if you take too long to drink. Cheers!

It's not where I would go when I want quality tea, but it is when my wallet's feeling skinny and I need my tea fix. Their fruit syrups are pretty good. They also have do loyalty cards, which you have to ask for. Otherwise you can also use their app for loyalty rewards.

This place has been bookmarked for too long, to be honest I think I was a bit over excited when Dan…read moresuggested we try it out. There's something really drawing about the whole place, I mean there's neon lemon signs for goodness sake. I'd been to other bubble tea places before, and I think the Happy Lemon focuses less on bubble tea flavours and varieties and more on differed oddities all together. You also have more customisation here than ever, what kind of sweetness you have have your drink (30%,50%,100% etc.) our server even made suggestions and recommendations on what we ordered. She was also really patient whilst we tried out the different 'cheese foams'. This place is perfect if you want a drink but are bored of coffee and don't fancy alcohol. I'll be honest I was really sceptical of Dan's 'Green Tea with Rock salted cheese' but it works! Think caramel salted latte, but if anything way more refreshing.

The Birmingham Happy Lemon is a fairly new bubble tea and specialty drink store with inspired…read moreflavours that you'd find on the streets of Taipei. The chain is barely a decade old and already has amassed 500+ stores across the world. While the name suggests an abundance of lemons, you'll find that and more with a plethora of very interesting boba combinations. Some of the menu items are milk based while others are simply a refreshing tea. In total, you have drinks divided into the following categories: milk tea, rock salted cheese, lemon smoothies, milk tea smoothies, fresh lemon tea, fruit matcha latte, and a variety of specialty drinks. This is the first boba bar I've seen with rock salted cheese as a flavour, and it's apparently one of their more well-known drinks. Happy Lemon is well sited between New Street Station and the Chinese Quarter. I've found that it's the perfect after dinner treat on the way home or a good way to jump-start a night out. The drinks come in a medium or large size, and the price can vary widely depending on what ingredients you request. There is also an additional surcharge to make some of the drinks hot. I've tried a couple of the drinks so far, and I feel that their fresh teas are a real strength of the brand. They are seriously refreshing, with most balancing between sweet and sour on the flavour profile. I can see myself drinking them a lot more this summer when it's warm out. I've also tried their more experimental flavours, such as the red bean & pudding matcha latte made hot. It's basically caramel (or mango) pudding mixed with milk and red beans. As a hot drink, it's great on cold nights. The drink may sound unconventional for some people, but it's worth trying at least once. If you like Happy Lemon's drinks and plan on visiting here often, I suggest signing up for their 'LoyalTea' loyalty card. It costs £5 up front, but you get a free drink of your choice. Each drink purchased gives you 1 point, which can either be redeemed for Happy Lemon branded merchandise (Happy Lemon iPhone case here I come) or at 10 points, a free drink. Overall, Happy Lemon does a great job focusing on one product that it does really well.

Came here because my brother told me this was the best bubble tea place in all of Oxford. It was a…read morehot summer day. I had just gotten off a long bus ride from London and checked into my room, and I was really in the mood for something cold to drink. When trying to find Formosan Tea Bar at first, it was a bit confusing. There was an alley with a sign for Formosan Tea Bar, and walking down the alley felt very sketchy and weird. But it's at the end of this sketchy and weird alley where you can find the entrance to Formosan Tea Bar. Once inside, it certainly looked much nicer than from the alley. The Japanese gentleman (and I knew he was Japanese because he told me his ethnicity) with a lovely British accent let me sample a few of the teas, and we had a nice conversation about the teas, the weather, the sweetness levels of the tea, and helped me decide which one I liked best. I chose a black tea with lemon juice and tapioca balls. It was so refreshing and delicious, and I could instantly see why they had the best bubble tea in Oxford. They were also so kind to fill up my personal water bottle with iced water as well. The one negative part of my experience was when I was about to snap a photo of the bubble tea menu, but then the caucasian guy working there just yelled at me. If I had been ruder, I would have just snapped at him, "You don't have to yell at me." The tea was much needed and was a pleasure to drink. I enjoyed being in their store to escape the heat.

The skewers were tasty and good variety, though 11 skewers for £10 feels quite pricey. Was nice to try out, but need time to wait as they cook it right there when you order.

Maybe they're good for other things, but I ordered a basic jasmine milk tea, and they couldn't even do that properly. The result was essentially milk with some boba, the tea flavouring wasn't present or noticed at all!
