My 2nd time here while in the area and I just LOVE this place! U can't go wrong with the Bambu halo halo! I did sub grass jelly for the red beans and I was super happy with the result! Sweetness factor: just right! Texture: just right! Get my heart racing & in love at first sight: just right! Wish they would open up shop in Arizona, but I'll settle for going to Cali every week! ;) read more

If you're lactose intolerant and need a relatively healthy dessert, visit BAMBU! I like coming here for a few reasons. 1. Service is quick 2. Servings are generous - so much jellies! 3. Dairy free drinks with adjustable sweetness Pandan waffle - The consistency reminds me of mochi! I'm guessing they use rice flour. I personally wish the pandan flavor was more potent but that's just my preference. Grab this to-go and add some fresh coconut and drizzle a bit of condensed milk on it. You're welcome. read more

I like variety of the beverages plus they are made to order! They allow you to sit and drink your beverages so that is good! Some places are limited in space. read more

the other bambu place gives you ice in a bag, but this place gives you ice in the drink cups already. che here is good and the place is a bit small, but very clean. it's across the plaza from other shopping stores such as walmart, ross, etc read more

Amazing dessert and earning points We can't resist it whenever we pass this area. And made your food clean and really fresh read more

I absolutely love going here for their smashed Avocado dessert. We've tried a few other items as well, but the Avocado is my all time favorite. The customer service is always great, as the person behind the counter is always friendly and polite in our experience. I've visited the Westminster location and had a completely different experience. The dessert and service was not up to par. Definitely give this location a try! read more

this bambu has a different vibe than others, it feels more like a cafe/study spot and was very aesthetic i ordered the #10 bambu favorite and it was so gooood, the start of a new addiction for me. it had all the toppings i love and it was so refreshing! service was also very quick, my drink came out without much of a wait read more

I love this Bambu location! The reasons? The great lovely owner couple, the interior decor, and quality of the drinks! Whenever I order from here, I know that every time I do, it will be made fresh with the yummy ingredients, and I've never been disappointed! I've been to all the other Bambu locations, and they are certainly not the same, sadly! I have a few favorites from here. First is the bo dam (smashed avocado), number 1 special, the rau ma without sugar (pennyworth), and the customize your drinks either with coconut milk or coconut water. Any drinks with the coconut water or #1 is so refreshing!! I highly recommend this Bambu location to everyone!!! read more

BAMBU - TRYING CHE BA MAU FOR FIRST TIME AT BAMBU ON CHAPMAN. PRETTY GOOD! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Went here 45 minutes before closing. Ordered a Bambu special and an Awesome Trio, plus 2 macarons.. it took over 30 minutes for 2 desserts... just scooping fruits and jellies into a cup. And when the drinks were ready, I told them I never received my macarons. They asked for a receipt.. when they didn't give any of the customers receipts. It also happened to another customer before me. Ridiculous service.. I do like the desserts and drinks but definitely will be staying away from this location. How are you going to demand a receipt you never gave me. Need more serious and mature employees. read more

My favorite spot for Vietnamese dessert! Love the location of this place because there's always plenty of parking and the inside is clean with great spots to sit and hang out. Service is always great and our dessert comes out quickly. We ordered 3 different drinks and they all came out within 5-7 minutes. I love that you can choose between ones that are coconut water based and ones that are coconut milk read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE!! (staff and owner) You can definitely skip this place. I bought four waffles in total, two with durian toppings and two with coconut. They had me wait 20 minutes and I later end up with four plain waffles. I try calling back and they refuse to refund the money but try to give us store credit instead. The owner is irresponsible and blames the cook and the person taking the order for making the mistake. The explanation and response were unacceptable, no responsibility or sign of improving their customer services. Absolutely not coming back to this place again!! read more

BAMBU - Bubble Tea Near Me - Garden Grove, California

My favorite is #1 it has Logan, pandan jelly, Coconut meat, basil seed, and coconut water with a scoop of ice. Now I took off 1 star because there wasn't a lot of coconut meat. Maybe like 3 pieces but I had this at other locations and they were mor generous with the toppings. The pandan jelly was super soft and chewy soooo good! The Logan I can tell it wasn't fresh but from a can. It wasn't the worst but not the best. You can adjust the sweetness level I wish I got it to 50% Instead of 75%. But I like that they had that option. You can check in on their rewards program to redeem for free items after a certain amount of points. There is a private lot and it's free. Cute indoor design and they are closed on Wednesday. I'll come back to this bambu when I'm around the area next time! read more

BAMBU - #1 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Garden Grove, California

My to go is #5: Smashed Avocado, add pandan jelly and coffee jelly, no boba, no rainbow jelly && Pandan Durian Waffle to accompany it. There are so many other things I want to try. But I'm constantly distracted by those two things. New location. Super clean. Friendly service. They have AC and they accept credit cards. Parking lot is small with giant pot holes, tread carefully. The interior design is slightly confusing. Their concept is a mash between Paris and London. With a simulacra drawing of a Bambu Cafe as center piece. Make sure to sign in at the register to get points for Five Stars! read more

Still a solid spot for che. I ordered the pandan waffle and #10 and both were great. My go to dessert spot.

Terrible drinks and terrible customer service. Owner is a smart alec that needs to learn proper customer service. When a customer complains about a drink, make it right or offer a refund, don't try to defend yourself and act like a fool. Theres Moge Tea and Tastea right next door, do yourselves a favor and go there instead. Will not be coming back. Would give 0 stars if I could. read more

So good! This place has Vietnamese che drinks, teas, smoothies, and waffles! My personal favorites for their che dessert drinks are the fruit addict and Bambu favorite. The fruit addict reminds of me of che thai, and I love the red tapioca and pandan jelly in the Bambu favorite! The portions are big and pretty filling, so I usually end up splitting one with my fiance. The desserts we've tried have been great, but the waffles are PHENOMENAL! I can't speak for all the locations, but we've been to this specific location several times for the waffles because we love how they make them here. The waffles are always made to order, so there can be a short wait for them, but the wait is so worth it! The pandan waffle is so fragrant, and their durian waffle is their regular pandan waffle with fresh durian mixed into the batter!!! The texture of these waffles aren't your run-of-the mill waffles either; I'm assuming they put some type of mochi mix or something similar in it, because the texture is similar to the Vietnamese dessert banh bo nuong (honeycomb cake). The waffles are filling and dense (in a good way!) and taste amazing! I'd recommend everyone to come here to try the waffles, and if you have room afterwards, then their other desserts/drinks! read more

We used to frequent the San Diego location before they closed down, this location is just as good if not better. We tried three drinks (fruit addict, smashed avocado, longan sunrise). Parking was plentiful and we had no issues getting a spot right in front. There were a few people sitting at tables when we arrived on a Sunday around 4 pm (everyone already had their drinks). There was no line so we walked right to the front and ordered. Drinks came out quickly, we waited approximately 5-8 mins or so for all three drinks. The price is decent, large portions and everything we ordered tasted delicious and refreshing. Not too sweet! I prefer this over Starbucks or boba any day and would definitely recommend it if you're looking for something to cool you down or a (sorta) healthy dessert. The menu has the calories listed which is nice. read more

I discovered this place first through DoorDash in late June. I had just been recovering from Covid at that time and when I saw they had Acai bowls I wanted to try. Best decision I ever made. For about a month I would order Acai bowls everyday as it was the only nourishment my body could easily digest. The portions are really generous and what I really like is that their Acai purée is really good and truly pure. Other places I've tried have disappointed with watery diluted Acai. Not this place. Since then I've been trying their authentic Vietnamese Che and they're all excellent. I usually order the Bambu Special Che with my bowls. You can't go wrong with either Acai or Dragonfruit bowls each. I usually order mine as half Acai and half Dragonfruit with peanut butter. The owners of this franchise are really nice! I've got the whole family coming here now ordering the Che especially the Smashed Avocado! That is a must try! read more

I saw this place while searching for a different tea shop and was pleasantly surprised by the selection, and the quality was pretty good too. It's situated in a strip mall of storefronts that could use an upgrade. Ordered the Bambu favorite with grass jellies, tapioca pearls and coconut milk. Crushed ice on the top is a nice touch to delay the dilution of the drink. Flavorful and refreshing. The staff is nice and I like the interior decor, I can tell the owners put a lot of effort into this shop. Will definitely be back! read more

I was craving their Durian Waffles so I drove an hour there to order some. The cashier lied to my face saying they sold out of it, so I ordered the drinks and left. When I came back to pick up my drinks, I saw some customers eating the waffles and a fresh batch being made so I wanted to order some. Again, the cashier told me they ran out... I am super disappointed and would not come back. Thanks but no thanks for this type of service. read more

SO SO good especially at times when you want a dessert drink but not boba. Their #1- bambu special- OG #5- Smashed avocado with boba, rainbow/coffee jelly is SO filling but so good. Creamy, chewy boba balls, and the jelly makes a nice party in my mouth. #10- Bambu special- all the delicious types of chewy textures all in one cup! Durian Pandan waffles - Their waffles are chewy crisp like mochi! Not bready. Definitely recommend. Save the leftovers and pop it in the toaster. So good. There was a lot of Bambu locations all over Socal which have all closed especially in LA county which is so sad so hope this location stays open for long time so i can fufill my Bambu cravings. read more

This place is always pretty busy and poorly staffed- but I don't mind waiting. My main issue is that every time I visit this location, the pandan waffle is never available... or is it because they don't want to make it? This has happened to me 4 times now and I've gone to another location, no issues. read more

Even coming to this place for years. I've even been to the one in Virginia. One of the best drinks

I always get one yogurt drink at the other location. Since I live closer to this one, it is easier for me to drive here. I got the drink here many times here too. They could make the drink by combining fruits from the other drink, but this new girl just decided to say it is sold out all three times I asked. read more

Very cute and clean place inside. Drinks are yummy. Favorite refreshing drink is the Bambu Special. Sea Salt Coffee has good flavor, but too sweet for me. And I love sweets. Will continue to go to this location away from the crowd. read more

The drinks are expensive here. OMG. $8. .70 for boba. They messed up our order. I hardly got any boba balls and they were soggy. We ordered extra boba and got even less. I got the fruit addict and I had to find the fruit. Fruit? Really? Dang. The boba balls did not taste good. They were smooshed and soggy. They have two health violations. 7 leaves has the best balls. 7 leaves has a new one called crystal balls. Bambu is mostly watered down coconut milk with mostly agar agar jelly and way too much sugar. The inside is quite nice and very warm. Its a very small place. It's too expensive and the flavor is lacking. read more

BAMBU - #10 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Garden Grove, California

The "auntie" that served me was so nice! I had ordered the original Bambu drink with a pandan waffle. As I was waiting, she assured me several times that the items were coming shortly. when I had received the items, she told me to sip my drink to verify it was sweet enough, if not, she was going to make it sweeter for me. She wanted to know how I wanted my waffle to ensure she would make it to my preference. If this is not five star we service, I don't know what is, they really do try their best to cater to your taste if they're not overwhelmed with customers. Decor inside is absolutely adorable and pleasing to the eyes. I really couldn't stop staring at the walls while I was in the area. Although it may be a short experience - since I was in-and-out- but it was definitely memorable. Come by for a refreshing drink! Sorry for not posting the photo of the waffle, I ate it. Lol read more

Decided to try the nearest boba after attending a wedding nearby. Stumbled across this place on yelp. Didn't have too many reviews so went and and tried it. Place had many choices and items on the menu. Ordered the pandan waffle and almond MT. To my surprise the waffle was extremely tasty. Love how it was made fresh. Super crunchy and chewy at the same time. Great fragrance. Not overpowering sweet. Almond MT was so so. I prob should of tried one of their dessert smoothies/shaved ice instead. Will definitely come back. Highly recommend anyone that like the pandan waffle. read more
