Great milk tea option. Their toppings are fantastic. We used the self-order tablet. It was easy to order. Big space with cute seating areas. A great spot to hang out or study. 10/10 recommend for students, locals, and visitors. read more

This place was not well kept and some areas were a little dirty. Seems like a hangout spot for younger generations. We went in and no one was at the front. It was a self-order and they come out when your order is ready. We got the mango milk tea w/ black tea. 2/10 not a fan. Popping boba wasn't good and flavor wasn't good either. We also got a mango smoothie with strawberry popping boba which was ok. 6/10. I don't think we'd come back to this spot again. read more

1102 Bubble Tea & Coffee - Taro Milktea 100% sugar, w/ oolong tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Waco, Texas

First visit here and was in awe with the secret garden ambience. Friendly staff and place is kept clean. Ordered the Tiger Sugar Boba Milk with mango jelly. Loved the brown sugary and creamy flavor with jelly and boba with every sip. 3 enclosed booth seating for privacy are available. Low lounging padded seats and a low lap top table for customer's convenience. Another area seating having that feeling you're out by a garden wall. The hanging planter box with vinyl natural looking plants from the ceiling added an outdoor garden look above a seating table. read more

The bubble tea is always good. I feel as though they have given up on the aesthetics of their business. The cute little cubbies have really dirty and stained cushions now. They desperately need to be cleaned or replaced. Also, the bathroom had no soap, no paper towels in the toilet was disgusting. Also, the trash was overflowing. I really hope that the management reads this message and turns things around. read more

Good drinks. Not so good? The wait. We had 4 drinks (2 milk teas, smoothie, flavored tea), 2 plant-pot ice creams and a flan... 20 minutes with no one waiting before us on a Saturday early evening. Lots of laughter coming from the kitchen but no drinks in sight. I stood at the cashier stand and someone came out from the back and asked if I needed to order something. I said no, I'm just waiting for our order that we placed 20 minutes ago... Her response to me was that they make their drinks fresh so it takes a while. I stood there dumbfounded. Doesn't everyone make their drinks fresh? I guess they were milking a cow in the back, seeping each flavored tea, cooking the boba and churning the ice cream. We were going to come back the next day to try out something different from their very extensive menu, but it's really not worth the wait. Perhaps they should remove some items from the menu and focus on making their "fresh" items instead. read more

We've given this place several chances, but the service remains terrible. Actually, there's practically no service at all. They have only one person in the back making drinks, and you're required to place orders on an iPad. If you have questions, you're stuck waiting forever for that one employee to come out and assist. Even when you order online, you'll end up waiting an extra 30 minutes after receiving the message that your order is ready. read more

1102 Bubble Tea & Coffee - Boba with no seal - Bubble Tea Near Me - Waco, Texas

I love this place when they have what they sell available. Unfortunately, they are always between batches of Boba and the wait can last between 40 minutes to an hour for a drink. This is the norm for this location; hopefully management learns how to fix this issue. It seems very simple to keep multiple batches going so that there aren't long lags without prepared boba. Edited to one star after I waited for 40 minutes in the store for my drink before they called my number to tell me they were out of boba and it would be an hour before it was ready. I asked for a refund and they refunded the amount for my drink but kept the tip. read more

1102 Bubble Tea & Coffee - Out of Boba Again - Bubble Tea Near Me - Waco, Texas

I got a small lychee green tea with popping boba. The price was $7.84 for a small and it was not worth it at all. I thought I would give this place one more try and now I can officially say that I don't need to try it again. The tea did not taste good and the popping boba tasted old. It was also sad because when you walk into order you don't talk to anyone you just order on an IPad which was really antisocial. The place did seem like a fun study spot but didn't seem very clean and didn't smell great. read more

1102 Bubble Tea & Coffee is the first bubble tea place that I had ever been to. It started my love for bubble tea. It is some of the best bubble tea that I have had, and now I live in Dallas where i'm surrounded by bubble tea places. In or around Waco, there are not that many places you can get bubble tea. So it is a very special place that is unique for Waco. I would say that it is up to par with the Dallas bubble tea businesses. My favorite drink is the Tiger Sugar Boba Milk. Very tasty and reminds me of the black sugar boba drinks in Dallas. Come try this place out! It's super cute, has chills vibes, and k-pop music. What more could you want? read more

Out of the four -ish places that does Boba in Waco, this one is definitely the best quality,but also has the highest prices. They have a lot of versatile flavors and teas, and there's really no way you can go wrong with the choices. Don't be intimidated by all the options! I recommend the oolong black taro bubble tea. During COVID they are not doing dine in, but you can go in to order. read more

This place was clean as far as I could tell. There were children in very free range mode tearing up the place. So as I believe and have said in the past if you take cash you're not open. I decided to try this again recognizing they may have a little different business model. So you order your drink at the one kiosk they have. Sounds smooth. Well with all the kids in there they had no idea what they were ordering. After 15 minutes I felt committed to ordering. The tea is very overpriced. I ordered a large and was charged the price of a large but it was really a small drink. No value at all here just as others have pointed out. What little tea I did get was very good though. Drive on avoid this place. read more

My husband and I were in town visiting family and I wanted to grab a boba drink. I went on Yelp and found this place, the reviews didn't look too bad and it was on the way home. When we pulled into the parking lot it was small and the shop looked empty/closed. The shop itself is very cute, they have seating areas that are well decorated. The menu has a good selection of milk teas, smoothies, and slushies. I ordered a large Strawberry Milk Tea with boba and my husband got a Vietnamese Coffee. There were only 2 people working so service was really slow, it took about 20 minutes to get our drinks. This was all during the COVID-19 so I understand they're taking precautions by having fewer workers. The Strawberry Milk Tea was pretty good, I really enjoyed my drink. The boba had a nice chewy texture. The sugar level was a little sweeter than I would have liked, but it was ok. My husband's Vietnamese Coffee had more ice than coffee (see pictures) so I took 1 star off for that. Overall, it's a cute boba shop that has IG worthy decorations, the drinks are pretty good depending on what you order. Ice level is definitely a problem that needs attention. Will I come back? Ehh not sure how I feel about it. read more

Maybe it's time to figure out a more efficient way to make a drink?!?! Drink selection is wonderful, plus the place is super cute. However, the wait is ATROCIOUS. When we walked in, there were three people waiting. Two of them received their order 10 minutes after we placed ours and the third waited 25 min. after we arrived. How long had they been waiting before we got here? We're way past 30 min in, as you can see from our ticket and the time this posted, and still don't have our drinks. read more

1102 Bubble Tea & Coffee - Bubble Tea Near Me - Waco, Texas

So happy to finally have a bubble tea place in Waco - definitely better than the current situation of ordering bubble tea from an Asian restaurant. Since it's still pretty new, I'm keeping my hopes up that this place will only continue to improve. I really hope they have the option to change the "your order's ready" buzzers from the mildly disturbing beeping to a softer vibration instead. I went to place my order of oolong lychee milk tea, but the cashier told me that people "don't order lychee with oolong because it's a strong tea." She offered to let me try the oolong to see what she meant but handed me a small cup and said "here's the black tea" and then proceeded to input my order for black tea with lychee...I enjoyed the drink but felt like this was pretty rude on her part. The milk tea was a bit too sweet and had more milk than I normally like in my tea so any flavor of the tea was overshadowed. I did enjoy the agar boba, which is basically just crystal boba if you've seen it by that name at other places. read more

The place is cozy, the drinks yummy and the employees are so nice and helpful. I picked up my kids from school and made a stop here for some bubble tea. We got 5 black tea with bubbles, one coconut, one strawberry and 3 mangoes. I called for the order because I didn't want to bring them all in. The lady that took my order was nice enough to order to bring me my order at my car. I so appreciate this. read more

Delicious teas and Woe at the endless choices! They let you try all the teas and give an amazing detailed description of each tea. They have traditional Vietnamese coffee and An EGG COFFEE which is a must try item. My favorite was the milk green thai tea ( naturally lactose free) which did not taste too sweet. I loved the earl grey as well. You can buy a gallon of your favorite tea if u give them a days notice.;-) Super sweet employees & fab interior. There are electrical outlets conveniently placed for your computer and a few private desk like seating. read more

This is not the place to go for coffee or tea. Very slow service, expensive tea and coffee and a non inviting atmosphere.

Probably the last time I'm ordering from them. As a nurse and a pregnant woman, I'm very conscious about all my intakes. They definitely lack consistency. I used to come here a lot so I've had a pretty good idea of what is the best ratio for me to order and I've always noticed that some days a "50% sweet " will taste sweeter or less sweet on other days depending on who makes it... the lack of consistency makes it difficult to know what to order. Today I was craving some boba and asked for 75% sweet and light iced - it came out and tasted like a 25% sweet. I already knew I wanted an exchange immediately. I felt ripped off it's not what I paid for at all and it's definitely a total waste. So I went to ask for an exchange and was pretty specific with the issue which she then let me try a "100%" it tasted alright so i said I guess today the person making drinks is on the less sweet side so their 100% tasted like a 75% today... so finally the lady comes out with the replacement drink and I guess they didn't wanna deal with me complaining it's not the right level and probably overdosed it with syrup or sugar in hopes I turn diabetic I guess but now the drink is literally too sweet it's disgusting. I didn't wanna complain anymore because goodness who knows what they might do at this point . Straight up just disappointed at this place. Honestly I don't know why staying consistent in their drinks is so hard for them- but yeah basically if you want to waste your money OR become diabetic this is your go to place. I can feel straight up turning hyperglycemic from this drink LOL. read more

I'm really happy with this place! They seem to have taken previous suggestions and complaints to heart, and have added customization and excellent service to an already cute and convenient tea shop. I got a mango smoothie with boba pearls, and when I asked I was told I can add pearls to any drink, and the staff member showed me over 15 different add ins I could use to customize my drink (crystal boba, other flavors of boba, etc.). He also offered to let me taste the different milk teas, and told me they will soon have their kitchen up and running! Can't wait to come back and try their food Also as others have mentioned I LOVE their decor! Definitely planning to come here for studying or quiet rin the future! read more

Love this place! One of my faves. Come here every time after a good Mexican dinner next door.

My boyfriend and I have been going to this boba tea place for years now and can honestly say it never disappoints. The best boba in Waco, and honestly competes with big time boba places in Dallas and Austin. If you're looking for a large variety of flavors, toppings, sweetness levels, and different kinds of drinks (milk tea, smoothie, tea, frozen drinks) this is THE PLACE. If you're uncertain what to get or it's your first time trying boba, PLEASE ask to sample things. The employees are super knowledgeable about good combinations and they have a bunch of samples ready for you to try. Another thing I like about 1102 is the ambiance. They always have good music, not too loud, and lots of seating options. Their seats could be a little comfier, but the place is so cute I honestly don't even care. My drink recommendations: 1. Hazelnut Flavored Milk Tea with Oolong tea base and 25% sweet. (I get this 99% of the time, it's got a similar taste to an iced hazelnut coffee with milk, perfect for 1st time boba drinkers) 2. Orange mango smoothie (super delicious! Fruity and refreshing) read more

Update again the second review is unreliable since that user has not been to this place but rated 5 stars. the service and tea quality (sweetness, creamy levels, boba quality) were unprofessional and inconsistent for the most part. Update 01/10 I took a star off to 2.5/5 because of the unfriendly cashier. I came here 4 times and only once the employee here was friendly enough to answer my questions in the friendly way when they took my order. every other time, they were cold, as if I begged them to sell me milk tea. I wonder if because they think I'm an Asian girl so I better know abt milk tea in general. 3.5/5 my sister and I came the first day they opened at 10:57 am or something like that. one girl took our order, didn't offer any sample or give any suggestions. when we asked, she talked really short and cold. well, fine. then we ordered lavender oolong milk tea with white boba, organic genmaicha with white boba, and later black milk tea with boba. they can't really adjust the sweetness of the milk tea. lavender oolong milk tea with white boba - really sweet. we can't smell or taste any lavender. when asked, the guy there said maybe because oolong was too strong. white boba (some other milk tea places call it crystal boba) is good. organic genmaicha milk tea - less sweet than the one before. creamy milk tea. black milk tea with boba - I didn't taste it, but my sister told me it's sweet, and boba was really soft, over cooked. a couple days later we came back. ordered organic Hojicha milk tea, organic dark roast Oolong milk tea, and organic earl grey black milk tea with boba. Overall the milk tea is less sweet than the first day. Hojicha milk tea - it's good, has a little bitter aftertaste. If you have ever tried Hojicha milkshake at matcha love, it's pretty similar in taste. dark roast Oolong milk tea - finally I got milk tea that not creamy. earl grey black milk tea with boba - good drink, but again the boba is really soft, over cooked. read more

This is such a cool and unique place. It is obvious from the moment you walk in that they are achieving their "Secret Garden" theme with all the greenery present throughout. There are many different options for seating including bar seating, tables, and cozy areas. The cashier/barista was very friendly and knowledgeable. I got the Vietnamese milk coffee because he warned me that the Vietnamese black coffee was a bit strong. The milk coffee is a bit too sweet for me so I'll try to black coffee next time. I also look forward to trying the variety of boba tea. While I was seated and enjoying my coffee he was helping customers who were new to the boba tea experience and providing them samples and walking them through the menu. Not all cashiers are the same so there may be some who are new and not as trained. But this cafe is new and should be given a try. I will for sure be back. read more
