Cozy little place with friendly and hospitable staff. I had oolong milk tea and my wife had black tea milk tea. boba wasn't over cooked which was nice. Also ordered a banh mi. I loved it. Light toast on the bread, nice baguettes used. The grilled pork(thit nuong) wasn't too sweet or salty, fresh herbs and veggies. Definitely try it out. read more

Best. Boba. Ever. I would always go back to get a refreshing drink, at any time. If you want to go and get a refreshing drink, try Yi's Boba. read more

Great small spot, the boba Thai tea is delicious. My daughter said that's the best one she has had. So over all we will be back. read more

Yi's Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

Was craving for a bubble tea all week. Walked into a warm, uncomfortable inside. Ordered a simple milk tea with boba and the Oreo shaved ice for my daughter. Unfortunately the boba was disappointing- didn't have the nice chewy texture you get when you first bite into it. As for the Oreo dessert, she only had the ice cream that came with it and didn't care for the ice part. I was trying to support locals and was hoping this was going to be the go to spot. read more

Nice cute boba spot. Got the passion fruit milk tea but they put so much ice in it so make sure to ask for light ice to get the best out of your drink. Has a few seatings area and quiet enough to study. Store Front is on a busy street so you'll have to park on the side & pay for parking (quarters accepted) read more

Small inside and it was not that outstanding I went to the korean restaurant right across from here and then came to this place for bubble tea i got taro and my friend got chocolate Which were pretty good, bubble itself was tasteless, (thats why i like kungfu tea for bubble) They offer two sizes small and large Small taro with bubble was $4.19 They used huge ice cube which take alotta space in the cup and drink was not topped off so even smaller quantities But taste was decent read more

LOVE it here! Service is also super fast and friendly and they have such yummy drinks with so many different flavors and options

Loved all the drinks we got from Yi's! I appreciate that they were able to handle our large order efficiently despite it being close to closing. We got a mix of milk teas and hot teas. If you are looking for parking, the best lot is the block before by the Italian restaurant which is not metered after 6pm. read more

We go here fairly often with the kids. They have tremendous rolled ice cream and delicious boba varieties. Highly recommended and kid approved if you're in downtown Ardmore and are looking for a treat. read more

Such a cute little mom and pop shop for bubble tea! The owner seemed super nice and you can tell each bubble tea is made with care! I got a jasmine milk tea with bubbles and 30% sweet! Happy they are able to adjust sweetness levels! Went on a Tuesday afternoon and it was super empty! Support small businesses! read more

BOBA ON THE MAIN LINE? Yes please! Come check out this cute boba shop on Lancaster in Ardmore right near Party Land (the address is incorrect in google maps, it should be east Lancaster not west. Right near Ardmore music hall.) Anyways, the aesthetic is so cute and plant-based. There's 2 big tables and one small table and honestly they need more. I went with 2 friends around 3:30pm on a Saturday and the place was packed. We had to wait a while for our order to be taken because there were only 2 people working there (one was a little boy who was so polite, well-mannered, cute, and helpful.) He helped make drinks and his mom, I presume, made the rolled ice cream which was very popular and looked really good. They have flavors that places in Philly Chinatown don't have! The boba itself was good. The tea was good. I asked for Matcha taro and I don't think they were used to mixed drinks yet, and it wasn't very even. It was still good, though! I'd come back. This is great boba and a great location and a great family-owned and run business. I need to come back to try the rolled ice cream! read more

When I'm in town I always have to stop by Yi's! The lady is always so sweet and friendly. It was chilly when we bought the boba, and I was tempted to try their hot teas but opted for the Jasmine milk tea. It doesn't say on the menu but was asked if we wanted regular sweet or light. Opted for the light and the sweet lady told us to let her know if the drinks weren't sweet enough.... Well they were perfect! The jasmine tea wasn't too strong and there was a generous portion of boba. I will try one of the hot teas next time I come back! read more

Visited here to try bubble tea for the first time. The lady who waited on me was awesome. I told her that I knew next to nil about bubble tea, and she presented me with my options--and there are lots of options! I ended up ordering a creamy and sweet blueberry drink that was excellent. There are also signs on the wall that explain various aspects of the offerings at this business. Because this woman took time to help me, I am now a fan and will return! read more

Very underrated! The owner is so kind every time we go and they really take the time to make it to perfection. The flavors are excellent and you can mix and match to suit your tastes. The tapioca bubbles are always very yummy. This is not a "quick" boba place (compared to some places that use a machine), but it is all made by hand and definitely worth the wait! read more

We stopped in for some tea because we were in the area. It's a cute little shop that sells different things, and I ordered hot taro tea with bubbles, but they didn't have taro, so I got almond instead. I asked for less sugar like I usually do at bubble tea places, and the tea was just OK. I got the almond flavor for sure, but the tea flavor wasn't very strong. Also, maybe some people like it about this place, but their bubbles are pretty bland. They're nice and chewy, but not much flavor to them. read more

Finally a solid Bubble Tea place on the Main Line! We always resort to trekking all the way to Chinatown to get quality bubble tea, but now have a great alternative close to home. This is a hole in the wall place on Lancaster. Small business vibe so expect a bit of a wait with limited resources, but it's worth it for sure. The employees are attentive, warm and friendly. Selection of small bites as well as rolled ice cream! There is a small seating area, free WiFi and they accept cards. Really hope this place takes off! read more

Yi's Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

Yi's Boba is a cute little boba shop just a few minutes away from Bryn Mawr College. There aren't many around so I was a little skeptical about trying it because most boba places that don't have other boba places nearby aren't really that good. But Yi's Boba is not one of those places! Yi's Boba is good! My buddies and I got mango green tea with mango jelly, black milk tea with boba, and Thai tea with boba and they were all GOOD. The shop has cute decor that warms my heart. I definitely recommend to those that go to school in the area and anyone else really! read more

DO NOT get the medium sugar option when they offer you it. This drink contained the same amount of sugar that I have consumed in ONE ENTIRE YEAR. It was so sweet I could only take two sips before throwing it away and cursing at myself for wasting four dollars. The service was okay, I did not really understand the woman at the cashier and the inside of it was basic but I thought the outside was really cute. Nevertheless, do not try the medium sugar option at Yi's Boba unless you want sugar poisoning and an excruciating headache that lasts for two and a half days. read more

I just got a small jasmine milk tea with boba this time. Yummy chewy boba, great tea, and very kind service! read more

Cute, tiny boba shop. I got a matcha smoothie and my boyfriend got a jasmine grapefruit milk tea. I loved my matcha smoothie -- probably the top 1 or 2 I've had. My boyfriend also liked his drink, and especially liked the firmness of the tapioca pearls -- chewy but not overcooked. Would definitely come back again sometime! read more

Yi's is definitely the place to go for bubble tea! My bf and I love coming here because they have such a variety of flavors, we love supporting small businesses, but most importan the owner is always so attentive! She always makes sure that your tea is perfect! read more

This place is super sweet, affordable, and a great bubble tea shop! I would very highly recommend coming to Yi's rather than the other bubble tea shop a few stores down since Yi's tastes fresher and offers great options. I will definitely be frequenting here! read more

We LOVE Yi's! Best Thai Iced Tea Boba. Absolutely delish and the owner is always so kind and welcoming! We have tried a bunch of different boba but this place is our fave! read more

As I was walking from dinner, I came across this little gem on Lancaster avenue. I had always wanted to try milk tea & tonight I was glad I did. I ordered the passion fruit milk tea & it was so tasty! The taste & texture took a couple sips to get use to but once my tastebuds accepted; I was ecstatic. Why would I only get one ?! I also see that they have rolled ice cream too which is a nice addition to Ardmore considering I usually go all the way to the city just to get the rolled ice cream but not anymore ! My rating below : Best out of 5...5 being the best! Vegetarian/ Vegan Food options: 4 Parking availability: 2 Business Energy Cleanliness : 5 Bathrooms: unknown Staff friendliness : 5 Seating Space: 3 Service: 5 The place is clean & the woman helping me was extremely sweet. Their prices are fairly reasonable and I'll definitely be coming back for more milk tea. This time I'll try a different flavor and maybe the rolled ice cream too. I can imagine come this summer this place will be packed ! The owners are so sweet & helpful ! read more

My bf and I tried the green tea and taro milk tea with boba. The prices for a large drink here are around $5, which is standard for milk tea. What makes Yi's Boba special is that the boba here is hand-made. Bonus points for the cute decorations, and friendly service -- the woman at the counter even asked me how sweet I'd like my drink. Overall, I'm offering five stars for authentic bubble tea at affordable prices. This is the first bubble tea shop on the Main Line and I'd love to come back. read more

I am not lying when i say this but this bubble tea gets me going. When i get one of these bad boys i am bluncing off the walls. Miss yi is the only person who can make bubble tea. Strawberry with milk popping boba sweet....she knows alright. read more

Yi's Boba is the best boba in ardmore! the owner is super sweet and let me try out a flavor i was hesitant on getting! the place in general has such a nice friendly atmosphere I absolutely love read more

Yi's Boba is a small shop right on Lancaster Ave. We came here awhile ago right after it opened and although the order was incorrect, everything was delicious regardless. Fast forward a few months, we came back and the person working the counter had noticeably better English. All the drinks were delicious and correctly ordered this time. I love all the variety that is available. I feel like I could come here a few hundred times without repeating an order. Solid ingredients and friendly staff. Love this place! read more

Ardmore has been blessed with a dedicated bubble tea shop. It is an extremely welcomed addition to the neighborhood's growing Asian food scene. No longer do you have to go into the city to get decent bubble tea. Prices are okay for the location and parking is around the corner. It's a perfect place for dessert after dinner. I recommend the jasmine milk tea with bubbles and less sugar. My only criticism is that it's very quiet inside the store and that it could use some music. Edit: There's music now! I still come by at least once a week for my bubble tea fix. read more

Holy crap I didn't expect this to be this good. I got the taro milk tea and it is PHENOMENAL. I'm pretty sure she put some lavender or something in here. Wow!! read more

Yi's Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Ardmore, Pennsylvania

This place has great customer service and there drinks are amazing. I had the best Taro milk tea known to man.

Really great Bubble Tea. The Thai tea is amazing and not made from a powder. The bubbles are perfect. Really nice owners. Thank you!

I absolutely love this place!! I've tried 3 different milk tea flavors thus far: guava, strawberry, and grapefruit. They've all been delicious. I've been going in once a week and planning on trying all the flavors out before I pick a favorite one. The owner is very nice and the ambiance inside is super chill. Couldn't recommend it enough. :) read more

Got the black milk tea with bubbles but it didn't taste like black tea. The bubbles are also too tiny and not chewy. They were to soft outside and then hard inside. Gotta get the basics right for a bubble tea joint. read more

Our favorite place in Ardmore for boba. Owners are very nice and selection is great. Tried other boba places but this one is the best!

Great small business that my family does everything it can to support and promote. It's my 9 year-old's favorite treat in town, and as the owner gets to know us, we often tend to get a little extra serving in a small sample-sized cup. She also recommends new flavor mixtures. We love Yi's Boba. read more

I've been here twice because of the great reviews. Neither experience was particularly memorable. Yes, the owner is kind. But the tea isn't really that great. Just okay. To me the drinks tasted more like the flavoring than tea. So I suppose if you like the flavoring, that's good, but not for me. read more
