Dirty strawberry milk tea w/ popping lychee, taro boba and honeydew boba

Emily M.

This is a fun place to visit when you're craving boba! I love all the decorations inside and the young lady who took my order was so sweet. She helped me figure out which bobas to try since it was my first time in! Here is what I tried and how I would rate: - Honeydew boba (6/10) - Strawberry milk tea w/ popping lychee (8/10) - Taro boba (9/10) Overall, very yummy bobas! I do wish the drinks were colder but they were still delicious. Honeydew was super sweet, so it wasn't for me, but apparently it's on of the owners favorites so I wanted to try. Definitely check out this spot if you haven't already!

Love this boba place!! My family's go to in San Antonio, which doesn't have many places that are up to Y Bubble's standard! The workers are super nice and friendly, and the seating areas and decor make the space so homey. The boba is soft but not too soft, and they welcome any customizations to any drink!

Strawberry Boba Tea & Avocado/strawberry boba smoothie

Clarissa G.

Aside from getting what's on the menu, you can also mix any flavors you'd like. I tried the avocado and strawberry smoothie and overall the flavor was great, the texture was just more on the watery side. It wasn't a big deal to me but because of that, it wasn't the best boba smoothie I had. This location is pretty clean and service is neutral. I probably wouldn't try this place again.

Taro Milk Tea with Tapioca (left) and Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Tapioca (right)

Caylee C.

Soooooo good!!! I tried the taro milk tea with tapioca and the brown sugar milk tea with tapioca. The employees were super nice and gave me recommendations. The place itself was so cute. They had stuffed animals and other little things on display. Definitely recommend trying it!

Steph W.

Great refresher drink after working out. I did get 50% sugar which honestly felt like 10% sugar. So if you need some sweets in the drink, I'd recommend to say 80%. Compared with other shops, this is on the lower end of what I prefer. The mango flavor isn't that strong and slightly bitter. The bubbles are too chewy and soft. I wouldn't mind coming back for more if i'm in the area. Lastly, I did find an upside down roach in the bathroom........ yikes. Won't use it against you granted the store itself appears clean.

Tried this place on a break from work and it's delicious! All milk drinks are non dairy too! Tried the taro coconut milk tea and it was tasty. They offer milk teas. Fruit teas, sparkling drinks with the option of adding a cream or cheesy top. Free wifi and gender neutral restrooms available. Even has a couple tables to bring a couple friends. Plan on returning to try the oreo milk tea

Kenneth S.

Y Bubble is a solid Boba spot. Its atmosphere is pretty relaxed and they offer more than tea if you're part of a group that likes boba tea and you don't. They have shakes, ice cream, smoothies and even flavored sparkling water. Staff is nice and place is clean. Prices are fair. Only reason it's a 4 star is because the 2 times I have been here I haven't had anything life changing and it kinda has a smell to it. Almost like cigarette smoke? But it's faint. It's solid though. Probably best in the stone oak area.

Thai tea boba and strawberry smoothie boba

Sierra S.

I am half Korean and Boba is my lifeeeee. I highly recommend this place. The workers were so sweet and gave great recommendations for my boyfriend to try ( he has never had boba ) I got the Thai tea with boba which is my absolute favorite! They recommended he get the strawberry smoothie one. We loved both of them! Will return and look forward to the bulverde location opening

Veronica Pagán B.

My daughter wanted to go out and get some boba tea to have with her sushi rolls but her favorite place is across town. We looked up who was in our area with good reviews and found this gem! We ordered the Passionfruit Smoothie with boba and the Winter Melon Milk Tea with boba. WOWOWOWOW!!! Both were absolutely delicious! The flavor of the passionfruit was BOLD! No lacking in flavor at all, and the winter melon is not what I expected. They were both so good. The boba was very tender and almost tasted like they were in a light honey mixture. I was impressed. They do have inside seating, very spaced out so you can social distance. Cute ambiance, simple and streamlined. Located in the shopping center at the corner of Stone Oak and Huebner.

Dirty Strawberry Milk Tea, Taro Bubble Tea

Amy M.

Such a cute shop with tons of options for bubble tea! Employees were friendly and the tea was so good! I tried a new flavor the Dirty Strawberry Milk Tea and it did not disappoint. Perfect blend of milk tea and and strawberry puree

The brown sugar tea was a lot sweeter than expected in comparison to most the other boba tea stores but still delicious nonetheless. This is coming from someone who has a huge sweet tooth... so I would definitely ask for less sweet next time! The boba itself was a great texture but lacks flavor. I would love an option for brown sugar boba but it seems like clear boba is the only one with the option. The staff here are very helpful and friendly. Personally I think .75 per topping is a little pricey, having a bubble tea come out to be a little over $6 is a little much for me to come back frequently. Overall a great place to stop for a boba/bubble tea. read more

Okay so I gave this place a couple tries, but still don't understand the high ratings. I ordered their milk "teas" both times and it was just sub-par. No real tea in there and flavor tastes artificial. Also, the boba didn't have that slight sweetness that it should have. Just bland. If you want authentic milk tea this ain't the place unfortunately.

It's a pretty good place to go to. My boyfriend loooooves the Mango Smoothie. I've tried a Lychee Fruit Tea with Lychee Jelly 75% sweetness (but tasted like 25% sweetness), there were slices of fruit in it like apples and oranges which I guess was unexpected but expected at the same time. I also tried a Lychee Smoothie with Lychee Jelly but no milk powder so they call it a fruit slush, it was also pretty good. I tried a Thai Milk Tea with Boba, decent it has a bit of a strong coconut flavor which is not what I'm used to in a Thai tea but maybe that's more traditional? I guess I'm going to have to keep trying stuff until I find my favorite drink. read more

I chose two scoops in a cup, one of Cappucino Chip and the other Turtle Cheesecake. They have several tables to sit at, some along a hallway and more in a back room. I took a seat and was in awe of the huge scoops given. The Cappuccino Chip had a mild flavor (I prefer it stronger) but a fair number of tiny chocolate chips. The Turtle Cheesecake had an excellent cheesecake flavor with swirls of caramel, praline pecans, and caramel-filled mini turtles. I'm usually not fond of nuts in my ice cream but I actually enjoyed the pralines. In my humble opinion, there were too few turtles. But I still loved it.

Yogurt Zone

It has mochi toppings! That's my favorite!…read more For $0.57 per ounce, Yogurt Zone is a little expensive than what I'm used to ($0.49 per ounce), but it's still affordable. I love the flavors it offers here, there are standard tart, chocolate and sorbet flavors, and also local specials like Horchata which I never had in any other places before. I will definitely stop by again.

Allow me to be the first to review downtown's only fro-yo stand!…read more When I arrived there was nobody else in sight. Good because there was no crowd to deal with. There are few yogurt flavors available. If you're trying to watch your waist line never fear because there's nutritional info like calorie count next to each yogurt flavor. You also get a wealth of selections like cookie dough, candy, sprinkles, waffle cone bits and strawberry and mango flavored bobas, which resemble the little bubbles you get in a bubble tea I highly recommend Yogurt Zone if you're craving the cold deliciousness of Haagen Daz and Ben & Jerry's ice cream but minus the guilt and extra calories and pounds.

I didn't even finish my cup, which is saying something, as I love gelato typically. It was on the bland side and priced higher than it should be. It may just be a tourist gimmick based on its location in the center of San Antonio right near the Alamo. I personally would not return.

Where is the button for 10 stars???…read more Oh man! Black+White Modern Creamery is easily one of the best ice cream spots I've ever tried, and definitely the best I've had in San Antonio! I got taro, lavender, and chocolate Oreo, and they were all so delicious and creamy. The portions were generous, and the price felt very fair for what you get. (They have a flight!!!) I also love the local, small, family-owned business vibe. The owners were very friendly, which made the experience even better. My only wish is that they stayed open later on Sundays. Right now, they close at 3 PM, and I would love to be able to stop by for ice cream on my way back to Austin in the late afternoon. I can't wait to go back and try more flavors and next time I will bring a big cooler to bring more back home!

As I said, everything was phenomenal. Unfortunately, there is one issue we cannot look past, although we have tried. The bagels are delicious, but they are the absolute wettest, slippery and slidey-est bagels I've ever had in my life. The meal is spent looking down and hoping my beloved or other guests don't see the schmear up to my nose. By the end, we are having to reconstruct our bagel, as it looks like roadkill on the table. It is not a user error, as we eat slowly and carefully. I even have friends who refuse to come back here because it was the messiest eating experience of their lives. It's so unbelievably messy. We have to rinse off in their bathroom before leaving. I have to take my rings off and put my hair up. It's a commitment, one we are not strong enough to make at this point. Delicious, but.... we must bid you farewell, Boss Bagel. Godspeed.

They are super friendly, prices are sensible for craft cookies.

All things in my mind brought this down from a 5 star to a 4. Clean up the tables is definitely something the restaurant has control over. We sat down, and the acetone smell dissipated so either I was use to it or they turned down a shared ventilation system. The food though was the big surprise! It was excellent. We ordered the Special House Bun with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp and a crispy egg roll. The proportion of vermicelli noodles to fresh lettuce, carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts and peanuts provide d that perfect bite were one ingredient dominated the other. All the proteins were cooked perfectly. The real winner was the lemongrass Banh mi with once again perfectly proportioned ingredients. We also ordered the fresh spring roll, which never came but wasn't missed except that they did try to charge us for but did remove them. They definitely have some work to make this a comfortable dining experience but I wouldn't let it stop you from trying some phenomenal Vietnamese food.
