I was introduced to boba in college...but after leaving Virginia, it was almost impossible to find…read moreunless you visited larger metro areas-like DFW, Houston, and weirdly-Albuquerque had one in their mall. But Lubbock? Not a chance. So, I was absolutely delighted when when Teapioca opened, not only in Lubbock, but by my house! I love having access to boba tea, with the small town feel Lubbock is known for. The owners are almost always on-site and obviously care about product and service. Today, I asked for boba and a half-meaning what normally comes in the drink, plus about half a scoop more, vs. a whole. The employee had to think about it-but was determined to accommodate, even after I said if it was too hard, not to worry. Then, the owner happened to pass and mentioned that Crumbl had just brought them free cookies and she wanted to pay it forward, so she called it the "manager's special" and deducted it. There's nothing better than a business that really cares! That's why I'm a loyal customer. Thank you, Teapioca! LBK loves you!

We came in for boba after dinner, not realizing they close at 9:00. The girl who was closing was…read morevery rude she threw our straws down, had a clear attitude, and kept giving us rude looks. It made me really uncomfortable. We were out the door by 9:00, so it's not like we were holding them up. If you're going to take orders that close to closing, there's no reason to treat customers like that. Completely unnecessary and unprofessional.

I wish I could've given this store a higher rating because the drinks itself wasn't that bad, the boba however was a bit hard for my liking. This store needs to staff better. There was only one worker and it was clear they were overwhelmed, didn't know how to make certain drinks, and their equipment doesn't even work! Poor worker had to take orders, make drinks, and do the sealing machine (which is supposed to be automatic) BY HAND. Please fix your machines, teach your staff the menu and how to make them, and don't leave one person to man the shop alone

The classic milk tea without boba was okay ($5.99 for a large). The staff was not friendly or welcoming at all. For that and the $1.50 price difference between a boba add-in and a boba-less drink, this place simply is A-okay.

My friends and I waited about 20 minutes and my drink was never made. While we were waiting, the cashier continued taking other people's orders and working, and she clearly saw me standing there waiting. At one point a group of girls came in who seemed to know her, and instead of making my drink she went to the back and brought them a vape. When I asked about my drink and my change, the cashier acted confused about my order. I had to call another employee from the back to help, and I ended up getting my money refunded instead of the drink. I also noticed the cashier had put the money and receipt in her pocket. I understand places can get busy, but this felt really unprofessional and disappointing, especially after waiting so long without getting what I paid for.

I'll be honest--I wasn't expecting much, but PHO District 1 completely exceeded expectations. In…read morewhat feels like a classic college town, this spot delivers seriously good Vietnamese food with bold, comforting flavors that hold their own anywhere. The pho was rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying--exactly what you want on a cold day or after a long one. What really stood out was how accommodating they were with customization. Every request was met with ease, and the end result was a bowl that felt thoughtfully made, not rushed or generic. Service was friendly, the place was packed (always a good sign), and the food spoke for itself. If you're craving legit pho and flavorful Vietnamese comfort food, this spot is absolutely worth the stop--and honestly, it's a standout for the area.

Had to have been the longest time for making the drinks. We were there for probably a hot 10-15 min. They were busy with take away orders so maybe that's why it took so long. Who knows. The restaurant almost seemed to be overfilling. The area next to the register was filled with boxes and things. Didn't really see the seating area but they were busy.

I got the bee honey drink which came with boba. The drink itself was not bad but the top plastic part was open so be careful shaking the drink. I also tried the zinger beef banh mi which was also pricey at 8 ish bucks for a banh mi. However the flavorful was good. It had a nice spicy and lemongrass flavor. I was disappointed at the level of veggies and also wished I could have had the veggies on the side because the sandwich got really soggy. It also was a bit on the salty side too. Service was really really great, the counter girl was super nice. The space itself is not bad for studying even thought I honestly didn't enjoy the floor for studying. Lots of plugs which is nice.
