I've been looking to try out Bambu since the day it first opened in Millbrae years ago and I finally got the chance today. The store was clean and the two girls working there were nice. Their Vietnamese dessert drinks are their specialties, but I still opted for the Taro Milk Tea with boba and 100% sweetness. They have a regular and large size and the different price wise is steeper than some other places I've been to where they charge you an extra $1.50 for a large. Of course I made an impulsive decision on the spot and got the large. With the base price being $5.50 plus the boba ($0.50) and the large size, the total was $7.50. Their drinks in general are also a bit pricey for the quality that you get and I understand the location and the costs for making the drinks are a big factor in that.
When it comes to their Taro Milk Tea it was pretty powdery and had a pretty strong artificial taro flavor. It was okay taste wise and I did like the texture of the boba pearls. I just wasn't a huge fan of the powdery texture that the drink had. I probably wouldn't get it again personally. Regardless I still thought the customer service was good and the inside has a nice area to hang out in. If I were to go again I'd probably try their Chè drinks instead. read more
