I LOVE having a place in town where I can get a halo halo! For anyone who's not familiar, a halo halo is a Filipino dessert that contains different flavored jellies, sweet beans, crushed ice, evaporated milk, ube ice cream. The version here also includes flan and boba. The secret here is mixing all of the ingredients together for a very refreshing dessert. Pro tip: add some condensed milk and it gets even better! It's a cute little shop and the line can run a little long sometimes but that's okay. The employees have always been very nice so waiting is no big deal. I've ordered from here on Doordash a few times as well. Of course, fresh is always best...but when I can make it out, it's a solid option. read more

My friend works next door at the nail salon. I got a mani done so I thought why not grab a fruit tea to keep my wonderful afternoon going. I have been to a majority of the boba spots in town so I was excited to try it this joint out. I love love love how girly and cute this place is! The pink walls. The decorative wall with all the roses on it. The gold accents. The cute chandeliers. The vibe of this place is right up my alley! I appreciate how feminine it is. I was instantly greeted by the sweet gal behind the counter. She said I was more than welcome to order with her or at the kiosk. I chose to order at the kiosk as I can take my time to go over the drink menu without being stressed of taking too much of her time. They have quite a few options. I know most places have similar drinks so I was looking to see if they have something different. I do love some of the names they have their drinks. I chose the Barbie today. It sounded fun and girly so why not. It's a pomegranate and lychee fruit tea with strawberry popping boba. I have tried a lot of fruit combinations with lychee. This will be my first experience with pomegranate. My drink came out bright and vibrant. I love the cute design on the cup and seal. Popped my straw into that baby and took a huge sip. Mannnn was it good! It was sweet and slightly tart. The popping bobas were a great addition to the drink. Barbie was definitely the right pick. I would frequent this place everyday if they were closer to me. All the fun places are always clear across town. My tea was delicious and fun. The gal that helped me a really sweet. And the venue is just too cute. I look forward to coming back when I get my nails again. read more

Best milk tea in Boise Idaho, I think! They're 20mins away from me but I would gladly drive to get boba from here again. They have great selection of drinks and a halo halo dessert which is such a treat! Service is always great and it's a cool place to hangout in. read more

Inside out: this place has a competitive and busy parking lot on a few visits, but it can have calm times that are easy to get in and out of. Inside is decorated vibrantly with a solid amount of pink. Everything looks pretty clean and is packed with personality. The service and tea have always been great, they're open a little later with a slightly higher price tag. My husband always gets the strawberry and loves it. It taste like strawberry shortcake, I've tried a couple things and all of them have been delightful. read more

Super cute place. Friendly service. Menu describes what's in the drinks. I got the Thai milk tea. Delicious. Friend got strawberry milk tea with mango and strawberry popping boba. Also really good and I was skeptical of that one. If I wasn't from out of town I'd definitely be back. My friend has found their new boba place. read more

Lovely ladies behind the counter making delicious drinks in a cute cafe! Will come back to try different drinks.

Cute new boba shop near cole and overland! Sounds like they just re-opened two weeks ago. Family owned business. My friend got the Trapioca and I got the Strawberry Milk! Both were very good and made with care! I got half sweet for the Strawberry Milk and I am glad I did as even that was pretty sweet. Owners were helpful and answered all our many questions about all the menu items! They also have alternative milks if preferred. read more

Tra Boba is excellent. I have gone 3 times in the past 2 weeks. The taro boba and Thai tea are delicious. The halo halo (a Filipino dessert) is my favorite item on their menu. The service is always good. They also have a nice seating area where you can relax while enjoying your Boba. read more

I ordered a couple of the passion fruit tea because I enjoy passion fruit drinks. The staff were great! Order was correct and prepared in a timely manner. The drinks were not good. The drinks tasted watered down with sugar. The jellies had no real fruit flavor. I wanted to like this place, but sadly, the drinks were disappointing. The place is nicely decorated. read more

Stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. Parking can be limited, especially during peak business hours, as they share the lot with other businesses in the plaza. The service was quick and friendly! I ordered the Wintermelon Milk Tea with boba (50% sweetness and 50% ice) and a Thai Milk Tea with boba. The Thai Milk Tea was great, but the Wintermelon was too sweet for me even at 50% sugar. The boba was solid! All in all, it's a solid boba spot but be careful of sweetness levels if you're not a sweet tooth. read more

Everything it was easy to place your order. They have 2 kiosks to place your and you can customize your own order. The lady was really nice as well the place was nice clean. read more

The dream cloud was sooo good!!! It tastes exactly like cotton candy and the texture is fluffy and creamy. The boba was very chewy and an amazing texture. Highly recommend read more

Horribly over priced for tiny drinks. Horrible service. And my drink had me throwing up! Thanks for the poisoning! NEVER COME HERE.

Drinks were fine, but some were just down right awful. The staff was very slow really taking their sweet time to get orders out. Overall was very cramped and not well set up. Also workers seemed to be just figuring things out and did not know of drinks clearly listed on their menu, looking at us like we just said something so outrageous! read more

just tried this place for the first time! loved it and the workers were so nice :) cute cups too and delicious

Tra Boba Milk Tea Cafe Tra is a wonderful new Boba milk tea café that recently opened in Boise. It is conveniently located in a strip mall near the Boise Costco, right next to The Tortilla Factory. In addition to Boba teas, they have flavored teas, iced Vietnamese coffee, slushy's and smoothies. They also have a small food menu of Bagel sandwiches and Bánh mì. I visited for the first time on 10/28/22. I knew this place was legit when I asked where they get the tea they use for their signature Boba milk tea and the answer was "Taiwan." I appreciate that the drink prices include Boba. I ordered a large Signature Milk Tea ($6.75) and a Grilled Pork Bánh mì ($6.75). The Signature Milk Tea comes with the inside of the cup lined with brown sugar syrup, which makes it extra delicious! My drink was excellent! Because I was taking my bánh mì to go, the owners thoughtfully put the vegetable garnish on the side so the heat of the sandwich wouldn't make it soggy before I got back to my office. My Bánh mì was excellent too! Vanessa wanted me to try their Winter Melon Tea, and gave me one on the house. I have never tried Winter Melon Tea before so didn't know quite what to expect. It had a mild, light, refreshing, sweet flavor that's been compared to fresh cucumber, as well as watermelon rind. I thought it had a slightly caramel flavor too. Winter Melon Tea is high in vitamins and antioxidants. Many drink it for its health benefits. It was a little too sweet for my taste (similar to Sweet Tea), but I enjoyed getting to try something new. To the best of my knowledge, there's no place else in Idaho serving Winter Melon Tea. Owners Kevin and Vanessa are very kind and helpful. I love that this business is open seven days a week. Can't wait to return! Highly Recommended!!! -- at Trà Boba Café Boise. read more

Best Milk Tea in Boise I first ordered Mango Tea with Aloe Jelly. Tea is so perfect, taste fresh tea not like somewhere they only use favor syrup for fruit tea. I went to shop at Costco, saw the girl with Avocado smoothie. Just went back there & got a big avocado smoothie with black tapioca. They had never disappointed. Use all good qualities. Highly recommend. Staffs so welcome. read more

Worst milk tea I have ever drank. The Hokkaido milk tea tastes nothing like milk tea, and was sickly sweet when I asked for "less sweet". Everything about the drink was terrible, including the boba. The service was also incredibly slow, especially for something as simple as a milk tea. Please take my advice and go somewhere else instead!! Please do not waste your money here :))) read more

Went in on June 19th, 2025. We ordered 4 drinks. Strawberry milk, cream brûlée with milk, tapioca and fairytale. The first 2 came with tea but I thought people can make mistake. So I paid 2 more drink to be remake with milk. The 2 girls put my cream brûlée with tea back in the fridge. WHF?!?! I paid for 6 drinks totaled and you gave me 5? Also the bobas is not cooked. Hard in the middle. We used to go there quite often to get halo halo but after today, I don't think we would ever go back. Don't waste your money! I missed the owner when they first opening, they were so nice. read more

However, the boba tea here is fantastic. Every drink I've sampled has been excellent. I ordered the classic Thai Tea bubble milk tea to take away. They also provide a variety of other flavors and popular items, including Vietnamese sandwiches. I particularly enjoyed their Pan de Coco. Be sure to give them a try! read more

This place is super cute. Small, very pink. Great drink choices. I've been here two times already and I thought that maybe the first time was a fluke so I came a second time. The boba. They are a horrible consistency. Some are soft, some are firm. The boba is supposed to be warm and chewy. I honestly think they just don't have their technique down yet. Once they do that, this place would honestly be 5 star. read more

Boba is adequate. I frequent a LOT of boba places, but this one leaves something to be desired. When i get the clear teas, even with less sugar in them, it tastes so strongly of syrup and no jasmine notes come through at all, kinda leaving you with this sugary sweet feeling like you drank a soda. The brown sugar milk tea is good, but something about it also feels like its missing something. However where this specific store shines is in ambiance, its gorgeous inside and out. The plants and the wall art, its very very instagram-able if you wanted a cute girls day and to take some photos. I mean seriously, 11/10 on the store aesthetic side of things. My main issue with this shop and the reason for a 3 star is that upon entering the shop in the mornings and early afternoons is the smell of cleaning product is SO strong sometimes i have to step outside for a minute. Im happy its being cleaned but the vapors almost knock me back when i come in and sometimes make me feel sick while im waiting in time. The service is good, employees at this location are kinda dutch bros like which is good, theyll chat with you and be pleasant. Conclusion: this is a location i would go to if my other 3 favorites were closed and i really was craving it, but not if i wanted a clear tea. I would just forgo the craving for the day bc the clear teas are just way way way too sweet even with half sugar. I drive 25 minutes either direction to go to my favorite places over the 8 minute drive to here because i know the boba at the other places is exactly what im looking for and if im going to spend 6$ on a tea i need it to actually satisfy. I think this shop could get the hang of it, but its missing something the others arent. That being said, it is my fourth favorite shop in all of boise/nampa, i wont even go to boise boba or the other fake boba places bc its way too expensive for not at all proper tea or boba. Also the owner is really nice and i hope to come back and improve my review in a few months. I go here decently often, maybe once a month, and i keep trying to see if itll improve. Id love to sit in the restaurant and enjoy my tea in there but the smell is too much. read more

I absolutely love this boba place. I try to make a stop every time I'm nearby, every drink we've tried has never disappointed. Delicious! If you haven't tried it yet you're missing out. read more

The staff is super friendly and kind. And very accommodating. And they have dairy alternatives.

Boba close to home. Nice little location finally a boba place close to home! I got my wife the milk tea with black boba, half sweet. The drink was really good, the boba was a little hard but other than that, tasted good. I also ordered two Banh Mi sandwiches, grilled pork and pork belly. Both had great flavor, not sure but it seem like there was soy sauce or fish sauce that was a little salty. Overall fresh and with lots of flavor, bread was crispy with lots of meat. Great new place to try as currently they are in a soft open. Great customer service and overall great vibe in the cafe! read more

I'm done with this place. The last 3 Thai tea drinks I have ordered, basically taste like milk. Very poor quality and the drinks vary by whomever makes them. Very inconsistent and the cost, it should taste like Thai tea not milk. I ended up throwing the last one away before o even left the shop. read more

My wife and I used to enjoy coming here for our boba milk teas, but the last few visits have been disappointing. Numerous drinks on the menu have been out of stock for a few weeks now, including one of our favorites, which is rose milk tea. On our visit today, we ordered 2 milk teas, both 50% sweet. These were the most underwhelming milk teas we've had. They tasted like they were 0% sweet, and the flavor was almost imperceptible. The oolong tea my wife ordered just tasted like milk, and the peach in my peach milk tea was barely perceptible. We will not back back to Tra anytime soon. Whenever we do find our way back, I hope they've corrected their issues. read more

Went here today looking for boba tea. They have delicious tea and super tasty smoothies! I will definitely be back again.

We think they're good, not great. Would rate numbed 2 in BOISE right under whale tea. We think they're a whole lot more fair with sizing though!! No tricks there. Thanks! read more

First off, be prepared to sit and wait. I've been here twice and it was about 20 minutes to make a drink and sandwich both times (not because it was busy just seems to take that long). While waiting I noticed people that just ordered a drink would be about 5-7 minutes. The cafe has great decoration and takes the edge off waiting. That being said, the pork belly bahnmi is incredible and worth the time. For $7 it is tiny, 5"-6" but it is so good and I will come here to get one when I'm in the mood for quality over quantity. The boba I got was the rose milk tea which is also my new favorite tasting boba in Boise, which previously was the taro boba at Urban Fox. It is also a bit more pricy than other boba places (except Whale Tea which is outrageously priced), but if it tastes this good it's worth it. All in all if you're ok with waiting and aren't looking for a huge meal this place is great. read more
