Really cool place!!! I'll definitely be a return customer. I had the brown sugar coffee bobo tea and it was delicious!! They have SOOOO many different drinks. I thought they served hot coffee which is why I went there. Well, that and because Yelp suggested it as a hot new place, and it was!‍ read more

Tbaar Cafe Oakleaf - Part of the restaurant. - Cafes Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This is a solid bubble tea shop especially for Jacksonville. The variety of options means everyone has their choice of drink. Their fruit and milk teas have been solid each time we have gone. I would not say this is the best bubble tea I have had. But the experience is consistent and it's a good option on this side of town. Tapioca is chewy, slightly sweet, not soggy. This is something that is not standard on Jacksonville, which is sad. This place is reminiscent of chains in California where I recently went Bubble tea crazy, although it does not quite reach California level. It has been open for a few months now and they seem to have hit their stride. Don't expect everything to be made from scratch. This place is similar to Kung Fu tea and other chains. Some of their items use syrups. People who are giving bad reviews because it's not all natural must have never been to a bubble tea shop. Go to tutem tea for the most natural bubble tea in Jacksonville that I have had. However for the convenience and for the consistency, this location will do. read more

I highly recommend this place. The rinks and food are absolutely delicious (especially the boba and it's really cheap), the service is very kind and friendly, and the whole aesthetic of the place is beautiful. I've only been once and it immediately became my favorite. Since I had only been once, I was confused on what to do, but the service had no problem helping me and being very kind about it. The drink i got was the Brown sugar Bubble Milk Tea, and it was soooop good. Highly recommend. Overall, my experience was amazing and if your in the area, you should totally try it out. read more

the mocha milk drink + tapioca is my go to would say the ice is a little much which is why i ask for less ice than usual but other than that i love their drinks!! i also love the paintings on the walls and the snacks you can get and the board games they give you to play at the table while you wait or eat read more

So happy to find a boba spot close to my house, this was a pretty cool cafe and I loved the anime themed interior. I got a taro milk tea and a brown sugar one when I tell you my taste buds were happy I'm not ever exaggerating. My drinks weresuper tasty and I will be back soon. read more

Great selection and variety! From juices to smoothies and a wide variety of snacks there is something to satisfy most palates! I will definitely be returning! I tried the fresh pressed juice-daily cleanse and I added lychee!! The staff was really helpful and everything tasted great! My one and only complaint would be that the pictures all show fruit and boba and stuff but you have to add that to your drink it's not included.. I believe the toppings are just 50¢/each so still not bad but just not as depicted. I'll still go back. read more

5 stars since it's basically the only boba tea place in the area! I would recommend to order less sweet if you don't love sweets, but once you nail down your sweetness level, you're smooth sailing. I think I've liked every drink I've had so far. The only times I've not been crazy about it is if I didn't get my right sweetness level. But that's on me for ordering a bit off. They have covid19 safe practices in place. Barriers between workers and customers. No dine-in. Masks required. read more

I had no idea this was even near me. Got the strawberry pineapple smoothie it was great! Cute little spot. Service was fast and kind can't wait to keep trying. read more

This place is amazing, especially for anime enjoyers. They have a shelving area with several different anime character statues. They have a massive Naruto canvas on the wall right as you walk in. And they also have all of the Straw Hat bounty posters on the back wall. It's seems their Brown Sugar boba tea is their most popular so I got that one upon my first visit. It is very tasty and they give you a cute drink lid with cat ears on it for that tea specifically. I've also tried their Thai tea, Cookies + Cream tea, and Dragonfruit Smoothie. I also ask for a bunch of milk foam on all of them. My personal favorite is the Dragonfruit smoothie but they are all amazing. They also have a small snack section with various foreign snacks so it's fun to try those out. read more

Tbaar Cafe Oakleaf - Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea with White Pearls - Cafes Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

worst place ever I've been here twice and both time they were rude and very racist I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt the first time but after this second time I will never be back read more

I didnt have high expectation for this place but they do a great job. I havent had a bad drink here and I drink boba more than water ok lol yes their drink is a bit pricey but nowhere near me has boba so i dont mind that much. 75% sugar is your best bet if you dont want too sweet. Brown sugar drinks will always be more sweet with all that syrup. I like the matcha brown sugar, fresh brewed oolong milk tea, and green tea with milk foam. Their milk foam is quite good surprisingly. They also have reward card (which i fill out quite quickly /cough/) The employees are very nice every time i come in. I like how they make the tea on the spot. Never try the juice but all the fruits look super fresh. I live nearby so i'll keep coming by. So glad (and sad for my wallet) that they're near me lol read more

Brown sugar milk tea had great flavor but too sweet and taro smoothie was lacking flavor and sweetness. Boba had great texture and flavor. Being that it was my first time, i didn't know about sweetness percentages being adjustable. It would have helped if they let me know. But then again i should have looked at the menu more closely. Giving it a 4 star, with a benefit of the doubt that maybe next time if i choose the right percentage it'll taste better read more

One of my favorite spots. I love the fresh pressed juice options and of course the boba teas!

This place has great boba. The ambiance of the shop is sort of anime themed, which is really popular right now. The brown sugar boba is very sweet and flavorful as well as the other drinks pictured. read more

I freaking love this place. My family has frequented this establishment since moving to Jax and we have yet to be displeased. Can't go wrong with the brown sugar boba milk tea or the dragon fruit smoothie. If you are feeling healthy the juices are excellent as well. Super fresh! read more

Visiting my sister and we decided to stop here. I ordered the Thai tea, mango & strawberry smoothie, and the amazing lemonade. I really wish they had this back home in Georgia because the drinks were so refreshing and yummmmm! I also love the cups they provide; super cute! Will def come back anytime I am in town! read more

Absolutely love this place. The brown sugar milk tea is one of the best things I have ever experienced. The warm brown sugar and boba is like a little party in ur mouth. I've also ordered a coconut smoothie as well as a taro smoothie and all have been delicious. Inside is cute with a anime theme. They sell a small variety of Asian snacks. Employees are always friendly. But beware of a line. Nothing too crazy but they do constant business. People love this place and I can see why. read more

I've only had the taro smoothie from here and it's the absolute best. I've had it from two other restaurants and this one is better. Their waiting area is cozy. The staff isn't very pleasant though but they are fast. I definitely recommend to others though. read more

Finally, a boba milk tea in my area! The place is always clean and cozy. They added more seating and comfy couches. The drink I ordered was not so good (speaking for myself only - Panda Green Tea) only because I dedcided to try something new and the green tea flavor was super strong. No worries though... I politely asked the cashier if I can change this out since I didn't enjoy my drink and they did with no hesitation or extra charge! I ended up ordering a Taro Milk tea with pudding and milk foam. What I love is that the drinks are super customizable - you can choose how much ice & sweetness by percentage. There are many other toppings you can add in but at an extra charge. Everything is super fresh - they jucie the fruits in front of you! They also recently added other things available for purchase such as Goldilocks prepackaged desserts, packaged Ube cakes, Yum Yums, instant soup, etc. I highly recommend this place (even though a little pricey if you add toppings) as they are clean, friendly, and fast. read more

It's okay not the greatest. It's a hit and miss with the crowd. I live nearby I've been twice.

TL;DR - Tbaar has the BEST boba in Jacksonville. I said it and I will say it again until they mess up. Their boba is consistently QQ (QQ = bounciness/chewiness) while other places have issues trying to get their boba even a little bit QQ. I gave this place 5 stars based solely on their boba--let that say something. Once I latch on to a good drink, I tend to never stray because I can't take the disappointment in my life. That drink for me here is the Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea and Matcha version of that drink at 70% sweetness. At 70% sweetness, it's still a bit sweet, but for some reason it doesn't bother me. The brown sugar dissolves in the perfect amount of time and with some aggressive stirring you can get everything mixed in a few minutes (if you want). The shop is well stocked with games so you can grab a drink and play some games. My games of choice are Jenga and UNO flip. It's a great hang-out or study spot and not too loud. What's my issue with the place? The service is never that great and it's a little bit of a drive. If you lived in the Northside or Downtown, is it worth the drive? If you appreciate a great cup of boba, then yes. If not, there are closer places with good-enough boba. read more

Fresh tea and also close to home! Nice shop setup as it feels very home away from home. Quick service also. So far I've tried the dragonfruit tea and the the strawberry yogurt tea.. looking forward to making more visits here during the summer. read more

This place would get 5 stars if they had more dairy alternatives than just almondmilk. But I got one of their smoothies. Definitely made with fresh fruit and no fillers! My sister got the brown sugar milk tea, 50% sweet. She said it tasted really good. It wasn't so sweet and creamy that you couldn't taste the actual tea, and she said the boba texture was good. What was interesting is their tapioca pearls are smaller than the average, more like pea-size vs garbanzo-bean size. I'll definitely come by again if any of my friends wants boba, but I would prefer to go to Tsoacaa (sp?) for my boba! Oh added plus: this place sells tasty asian snacks, WHOOHOO! read more

Brown sugar milk is tasty. They have fresh juice which is nice. Customer service is pretty good too.

The drinks here are amazing. I usually get the strawberry milk tea with extra boba and it always tastes amazing. The service is great and the workers seem to care about their jobs. The ambiance is also great, anime being a big theme here with posters, action figures, and wallpaper. I would recommend this to anyone. read more

Mmmm this place is amazingly awesome especially the coconut smoothie mmmm and the ladies are great and very friendly and the Japanese things are great read more

What's not to love, it's Boba. Super fresh and awesome options to choose from. I stop here anytime im in the area.

Their drinks were delicious, we tried a fruit tea, a strawberry smoothie with tapioca pearls, and a taro root smoothie with tapioca petals.

We love this place! We live in the New Orleans area and have plenty of great Boba options there but this is our favorite! Every time we visit family in Jacksonville, we make several stops at TBarr. I especially love the Tiger Brown Sugar Milk Tea at 50% sweet. Perfection! read more

Love this place! Delicious boba and treats. I come here all the time. My fave is the lime lychee tea with boba!

I am absolutely obsessed with this boba place and am SO GLAD it opened!! If it ever closes I don't know what I will do with my life. This is I think the only boba place on the west side of Jax. My favorite drink is the strawberry green tea with milk foam. It's more of a frozen slush drink topped with milk foam than just an iced tea, and only comes in a large size. They offer a large variety of boba tea drinks as well as fresh juices. I like how they have all of their fresh fruits out for you to see, so you know nothing is artificially flavored! The interior is adorable and anime themed. They have a display of figurines and One Piece banners and decorations. I also love their wall that has a schematic of boba tea. The staff is always pleasant and happy to answer any questions. Every time I visit my parents we come here since it's so close to our house. I make it a point to stop by at least once when I visit. They also have a punch card where if you buy 10 drinks you get one free. It seems like a lot, but you might as well get one if you come regularly! read more

This is a nice little juice/tea place to hang out, or takeout. They have a rewards program which is nice because who doesn't love rewards!? I ordered a Thai Tea, which as usual, comes sweetened. There is not an unsweetened version. It is a drink I highly recommend. It was a little more expensive than the Thai restaurant a couple doors down. I don't mind though because I want to support my people! I plan on going back soon and trying one of the juices with ginger to see if it helps with my nausea. Plus I'm sure I will get a lot of vitamins! read more

A boba place nearby to where I just moved! At first I thought it was a good thing but now it's starting to get a little dangerous. My husband and I have been going here multiple times a week since they opened. The traffic isn't as high as opening day so the wait for the drinks aren't as long. Service is always friendly. Drinks range from $4-6 maybe $7 if you add things on. They do offer a stamp card so that's good for people who are boba addicts like me. I think it's a free drink after 10. We have tried the popular brown sugar milk tea (a little sweet for my liking but still tasty), black milk tea, sea foam green tea (my favorite) and Thai tea (not the best I've had). They have many other things such as fresh juice, lemonades and smoothies. They do have a sign that they'll make you a new drink if you aren't satisfied with the one you ordered. I haven't utilized it yet so I'm not sure how flexible they are with it but the option is there. This is our new boba place since it's near and pretty good. read more

Run to this place! If you are a fan of boba, milk tea, tapioca pearls and overall fresh juices, please run to this cafe! It's quaint and everyone there is always friendly and informing about any drink questions. Not to mention but if you're a anime k-drama buff, you'll enjoy the amazing graphics and some of the snacks for sale! They also have board and card games there just in case if you want to enjoy a game while you wait or relax for a bit! Either way, you'll enjoy this place to a Tee! Stop by and check them out! read more

So happy to see a tea place like this open on west side/oakleaf. This place was a great experience. Clean, well decorated. Cozy seating and delicious tea. I got the Four seasons iced green tea with milk foam on top and it was great. This milk foam is a new try for me and I am hooked. Its creamy, salty and sweet. Definitely give this place and milk foam a try. read more
