**Visited on 7/23/2024 Stopped by while waiting for my poke order in the same plaza, and I was able to come in order on their self kiosk and get my drink in under 5 minutes. I didn't have much interaction with the staff, however, they wished me to have a good day upon picking up my order. The shop itself is kind of small, but there's plenty of space and seats outside. Okay the drink: I had ordered a lychee black tea with Boba and rainbow jelly, and was slightly disappointed that I wasn't able to adjust my sugar level. My drink was pretty sweet, but adding extra ice to it made it taste much better. The shop is good for a quick boba run and I imagine it's pretty convenient for students nearby :) read more

Ordered a boba drink and crepe. Crepe was okay, a bit thick and fruit wasn't the best, but it wasn't bad. The boba in the drink was pretty good, however I'd ordered matcha and it was grey and did not taste like matcha and there were small rock-like objects in my drink. Will not go back. read more

Visited on 11/13/25 I ordered 3 drinks and one of them was pretty bad and I asked the lady if it was possible to replace it with another one? And she said Sorry I don't speak English, But 3 minutes ago our conversation was in English. She decided not to replace the tea and pretend she didn't speak English. Bad customer service read more

It's always my Boba Stop when I go to SLO, friendly service, a lot of Boba drinks to choose from, plus snacks, like popcorn chicken, crepes and steamed buns, so yummy! Ambience is fair considering it's next to CalPoly SLO. Try it out! read more

Love the drinks and the fried chicken, super good! Nice place too. The service was nice and fast, it's a must hit before/after your beach trip. read more

Very friendly place and easy to order. We ordered to go but did not notice much space to sit inside. There was plenty of parking outside. The smoothie blended drinks with boba were wonderful. Will definitely return. read more

Always good! Reliable, friendly, and very helpful. They will give recommendations to help you get something really good.

Popcorn chicken was delicious, don't forget to add the spices on the side. Drinks were okay, wouldn't recommend getting the coffee. Service was fast for drinks. Food is made fresh to order so it takes a little longer. Would come back! read more

I like the drinks here but find the oolong milk tea and boba to be inconsistent. Sometimes it's amazing, sometimes it's lacking. The crepes and popcorn chicken are really good. Overall it hits the spot on a hot day! read more

I was in the area for a staycation and on my drive back, I saw the Bobastop. I haven't had boba in forever, so I decided to give this place a try. The Bobastop is located in a small strip mall. Since we are in a middle of a pandemic, there were signs about having only a small number of customers in the store a time, there were hand sanitizers, and they also had a plastic guard at the cash register. The employees were also wearing masks and required all customers to also wear masks. I was relieved and comforted by these measures. As for the boba, I decided on a peach green tea boba. The order came out fairly quickly. The drink was cool and refreshing and perfect for what I needed on a hot day. The boba was also cooked very well (not over or under cooked). I would definitely come back here again if I am ever in the area. The boba was a quick pick me up that I needed. read more

I've come here several times hoping to get a better experience but the boba is always old and tasteless. You can tell its not fresh. Maybe the food is fine and the drinks without boba but just avoid the pearls. Its really cheap so theres that. read more

Morning employee*** Louisa*** is so delightful we now stop by every morning for one of their great drinks. Best boba in SLO Voted #1 in customer service!! read more

I love their snow bubbles !!!! I could come here every single day multiple times if I could. I have like a whole trash bag full of these cups in my car lol Strawberry banana is my go-to. Taro is also very bomb & their crepes are delicious also! read more

Went here a few years back and went again yesterday and it was so good! I got half taro, half coconut with boba and enjoyed every sip. Will be back read more

I love this place! I've been going there for years. A lot of "boutique" type boba shops have been popping up in SLO as of late, and while I like all of them, my heart still belongs to "The Bobastop." ;-) This is more of your standard boba place, with some comfort foods like dessert crepes, popcorn chicken, and the occasionally, pork buns. (The buns are my pick!) Also, you MUST try the watermelon slushy when it comes around - summertime, I think. It's seasonal only, and you will see plenty of watermelons stocked up on the counter when the season arrives. The staff are friendly, and will generally recognize you after a while. Service is good. Depending on the day of the week and time of the day, parking can be a bit of a challenge, since there are lots of other food places in that mini shopping strip. Usually just wait a little bit, and there are always cars leaving. There is mostly outdoor seating, and it's more of a sit, chat, and laugh type of vibe (ambiance) amongst the clientele. You'll see lots of college students, but also PLENTY of families swinging by. read more

I would rate this place a 0/10. Me and my friend got a drink from here. The boba was dry and crunchy. The tea tastes disgusting and wasn't made right. THEY DO NOT ALLOW REMAKES. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! I think the lady working didn't know how to make drinks. She also was rude and didn't take care of our needs. It 5/20/25. 2:30pm. We threw it in the trash the the boba stop. Jiped us 8bucks read more

We are staying in SLO for the weekend. It shouldn't surprise anyone that I'd want boba at some point. This place came up with an average of a full four star rating. We also saw it on the way out (off the 101), so it's conveniently located. There wasn't anything on the drink menu that stuck out for me, so I decided to get the classic black milk tea with boba for both hub and me (add lychee jelly to mine). There were several people in the place when I got there, but as I walked in, most of them were just getting their drinks. Hmmm, popular place, I suspect. The staff is friendly. Drinks came out super quickly. Final product? It was just okay. I got both boba and lychee jelly, so I had a decent amount of topping altogether for a drink. However, my husband's drink didn't have much boba at all. I wish I took a picture because you can see that it looked like just a single layer at the bottom of the cup. The flavor is fine otherwise. read more

In our way back to Ventura from Fremont after stopping in SLO, we found this spot and figured let's give it a try. It was just okay! I enjoy boba and love trying new places but this was a mediocre place with okay flavor. I got mango or peach milk tea with boba and my fiancé had Thai tea which we made it less sweet, it was also just okay. read more

We got the Mango Snow Bubble and it was delicious!! We also tried mixing flavors next visit, pineapple + passionfruit, it was still delicious! Mango is the superior snow bubble though read more

Lowest prices - so that college students can afford to come daily!! Fruit crêpe is addictive!! Packed with students in the evenings after school. Chinese buns and pop-corn chicken prices can't stay low for long. Open Sundays now!! Open earlier as well, at 10.30am. Close later now - 11pm - when all the other shops are closed. read more

The Bobastop - Menu of Boba stop - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

This place hits the spot for a late night boba run. I usually get the lychee snow bubble with boba and I definitely recommend it if you like lychee. I also love getting the popcorn chicken and adding more seasoning. The crepes also are delicious especially the strawberry, nutella, whipped cream one. You can't beat the price especially when comparing to crepe restaurants in slo. read more

The boba stop is a great boba shop in San Luis, we are here visiting in Pismo Beach and made the 20 min. drive just to get their boba. The fruit flavors are great, my personal favorite is the strawberry with added banana. Today I brought a friend who has never tried Boba and she loved it. read more

This place usually has a line and for a good reason; it has amazing boba! I think this boba spot is the best bang for your buck in SLO County. A boba drink is around $4 and it is a good-sized cup. I think of it as the perfect "hold you over" snack in between lunch and dinner. They have a variety of flavor options from snow boba to milk boba to green tea boba. My personal favorite is the almond milk tea boba. It is sugary without being overly sweet with a subtle almond flavor that is not overwhelmingly nutty. In addition, they have plenty of vegan and diary-free options available! The only downside to this Boba Stop is that parking is limited. It is located in a small strip mall with other shops, so they parking lot is usually packed. If you don't mind waiting a bit to park, this boba is definitely worth it! read more

Love this place! Always perfectly made! And fast! The Taro Milk Tea Boba is my favorite! And the crepes are huge and delicious!!!!

I like a good fruit tea. This was on the list with a couple others and this place turned out my favorite. I like the selections, the fact I can get my favorite stuff (low sugar, half sugar lemon peach tea) without drama is . Staff was warm and funny which considering how busy it was is great. Service was quick considering how busy they were. It's a takeaway place so don't expect to linger inside. read more

The people were super kind and the drinks were delicious. The variety on the menu was super great, and overall an excellent shop. I highly recommend! read more

The Bobastop - Taro milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

While going searching for boba on Yelp we found this place while road tripping. It was located in a small plaza in the corner. When we pulled up it was packed so i assumed it would be good. It was meh... the tapioca milk tea was awful and tasted like it was watered down or maybe sat too long the ice melted, boba was not too bad. The chocolate and Caramel ones were slightly better maybe because it's sweeter from The syrups dripping down the cups. They have snacks and crepe menu with food so maybe try that?! read more

Great little spot! Wasn't on my radar at all. While waiting on my Ziggy's takeout order on a very warm day I saw people walking around the plaza with boba teas and they looked quite refreshing. I got a mango boba slushy - it was great! I would certainly come back for other flavors and drink types. Many vegan options available and the staff was very nice in pointing out what contains dairy (not much ;)). Covid precautions are in place - divider between staff and customers, limited number of customers can be inside at once, mask requirement, hand sani available for use inside. read more

Had the honey milk tea, it was really good. Top 5 of the best bobas. There wasn't really anyone there so the service was quick. Ambiance was nice, they're shop can use better decorations, they have too much going on (wall colors, food displays, their menu) it all seems just a tad messy & not as aesthetic as other i've been to. Great food tho & great people. read more

The Bobastop - Nutella, Strawberries and Whipped Cream Crepe - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

I've been here a couple of times and their boba is ok. It's not the best but it's definitely better than some other places on SLO. I also like their crepes but they could be a little sweeter or have a little bit more whipped cream. They were a little busy when I went and they seemed a little disorganized- everyone was ordering the same thing and instead of calling names on the ticket, they called out the order (a lot of people got the same/similar orders). read more

Friendly staff greet you and were so fast to serve my family. Everyone loved their bobas and lychee jelly teas. My husband especially loved the tapioca milk tea with boba, while my lychee black tea with lychee jelly was pretty good too. We will return for this refreshing treat again soon. read more

My cousin and I visited this boba shop while visiting her sister. The place was poppin for an afternoon on a weekday! With it being that busy, I knew our drinks were going to be really good. I opted for my usual jasmine milk tea and popcorn chicken. The tapioca pearls were perfectly chewy and the chicken was crispy. We will likely be frequenting this place every time we visit! read more

Being a Bay Area native, my expectations for boba are exceptionally high. The boba here is pretty average but still satisfies my craving. Very basic boba compared to what is out there now. This place has all the common flavors but no flavors that will surprise you. My biggest problem with this place is that it only serves one size that is large. A plus is that this is the only place I know of in SLO to get a crepe made for you. If you're craving high quality boba, I would make the trip to downtown SLO. But if you're a college student looking for a quick scratch for your boba itch, this place is just a few blocks from Cal Poly. read more

LOVE boba stop so much!! the popcorn chicken is my favorite food item. they have awesome drink selections and make your food and drinks fast. it always comes out yummy!!!! read more

Average, "A-OK" as Yelp would say. Came here once for the standard milk tea with boba. It was just okay. The boba was hard and tea didn't taste that strong. Alright if you're in a dire need of boba or else I'd skip it. Friendly employees and quick service though. read more

This place is amazing! We came once three years ago and I was blown away by the popcorn chicken (it taste just like chicken I used to get in China). We knew we had to make a return visit when we were back in town. I got a plain black milk tea and popcorn chicken and they were both incredible. Make sure to add extra salt and pepper powder on the popcorn chicken, which they provide in a little shaker by the front door for perfect customization. read more

The Bobastop - Popcorn Chicken and Black Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

I'm not from the area, so I guess I can't appreciate the small business aspect of this establishment, but I can in all honesty NOT hail them as the best place for boba tea drinks. SLO is one white town and the boba here is a very white indeed. Nice try though, but my Chai Milk Tea really was just watered down milk flavored with a little bit of chai. Boba was also super mushy and bland. Drinks took forever to come out in this very small shop where only one worker was churning them out. Definitely not an ideal place to hang out at even if they do offer yummy looking crepes in addition to their drinks. Their snow bubble options looked more promising though and many people were ordering them, so I think it's best to just avoid the milk teas and teas and opt for the slushies. PROS: Cheap drinks ($2.99), boba is extra at the standard 50 cents, and an upgrade to a large size is only 50 cents. They also have other toppings such as aloe vera and your flavored jellies. I can't say my drink was fantastic, but it did cool me down on a super hot afternoon and it wasn't completely inedible, so 3 stars overall. read more
