My 11 year old granddaughter ordered a drink, and the woman order taker assumed she wouldn't want the spicy one, and made her a different drink than the one she ordered. I brought it to her attention, and she said it's too spicy for children. I asked her to make the one that was ordered, and she wouldn't. We won't be back. read more

du ma so fucking delicious i lvoe the cafe sua da homie

Had the most delicious yogurt smoothie!! I will definitely return and try many options here. The location can be missed if you are not familiar with the area. I recommend giving this a try. read more

I was visiting my friends in the area, and there were many Bambu around where I live (CA), and honestly, this one gave me the best experience of all. The others I went to look really outdated with just one or two drinks that I considered worth to come back, but this one is quite decorative, clean, and modern which I really like, especially compared to other places in the local. I decided not to try my favorite #1 that I always had and tried different drinks since they have many options, and they were great!! instead of the bland taste I'd got from other Bambu. Staff was great and patient enough even though we took awhile to decide our order. I don't usually do review on yelp but this one was a great experience for me and will absolute be back read more

Great boba tea. I'm visiting from California and they made my customized mango flavored green tea just the way I like it.

this place have a good drink, their handmade waffle are really good, I like their milk tea, yogurt and smoothie. their staff are very friendly, it is a good place to hang out with my friend. I definitely come back read more

BAMBU - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I was so excited for this place to open up but this place has disappointed me. The first time I went, I went on their grand opening and took about 15 to order and 25 minutes to get my drink. I got a black milk tea with boba but the lid wasn't properly sealed so it ended spilling everywhere. Also the milk tea was not very good. It was not a good experience; however, I wanted to give it another try so went again in the evening on another day. I ordered a mango yogurt with mango jelly and mango bursting boba. When I got my order, I realized it was missing both jelly and bursting boba, so I went back to tell them. After couple minutes, they came back with my drink but instead of making a new one with the toppings on the bottom, they placed it on top and forgot my mango jelly again. I am very disappointed at this place and won't be coming back for a while. read more

BAMBU - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I heard great things about BAMBU but never had the chance to try it out for myself until the grand opening in GR! I didn't get there until 9:30pm and the line was still busy! I figured it would be because it was the grand opening. Even though it was still busy, it didn't seem chaotic. The staff were friendly and efficient and greeted me with a smile. The decor was beautiful, modern and everything was clean and updated. The menu was presented in monitors at the front but there were also a few drinks posted on the wall to the left that helped me make a decision. I ordered the Fruit addicts Ché. It was a risk for me because I've never had many of the items in the drink suck as pandan, jackfruit, lychee and even the red tapioca. However, I was pleasantly surprised!! The coconut milk tasted fresh, I had plenty of fruit in my drink and it was delicious! I love that they have so many dairy free options for those who don't drink dairy or are vegan! It was worth the late night trip and I can't wait to try the coffees, teas and the pandan waffle! Since this place isn't far from where I live, I'll be sure to be back! read more

BAMBU - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

The staff at Bambu were great! They had my order ready quickly. I highly recommend getting the Bambu Special. Also if you've never had a traditional Vietnamese coffee, you really are missing out. I'll be back! read more

The staff is super friendly and the location is clean. Good selection of teas and jellies and other toppings to choose from. I wish they had shaved ice and maybe a few more snack to choose from but drink wise, not bad! I hope they open up more places around Grand Rapids, maybe downtown?! read more

Best experience I've ever had! I got three drinks and they taste amazing! This place just succeeds in everything that it should. It's interactive, fun for kids, a great hang out place for family and friends! The staff is very intuitive and helpful! This place is relatively new so there are definitely new experiences but i'm happy to say that I will be back to try even more drinks and desserts! Everyone should find some time and check this amazing place out! It won't disappoint! read more

BAMBU - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I've been to other Bambu locations, and this one is much bigger than the one in Uptown Chicago! The staff was very friendly and fast, even though it was quite busy. My mom and I loved the Che, but we also tried the Pandan waffle which was amazing. It was served warm, was a dark green color, and perfectly sweet to compliment the Che. Yes it's a chain, but it is very unique for the area, and it was nice to see it be so busy. read more

This bambu have very helpful staffs and I enjoyed the ambiance! Happy to have delicious Che in town now!

This place is my favorite. Their drinks are delicious. I tried some of them, dessert #6 and #10 are my recommended. I ordered jasmine tea and oolong tea for me and my gf last time. Their service was excellent. Come and try some drinks. Congratulations guys read more

Ordered 5 bambu specials... which tasted completely different from the ones I had at other bambu locations. I've been to many. It almost tasted like bleach....I brought it back to let them know... they questioned me if I ever tasted bambu before and were giving me a hard time. So after waiting a long time for the drinks, heading home, and then driving back, their customer service was absolutely horrible. Finally ended up giving me a refund but totally disappointed as I love bambu and was looking forward to a local bambu instead of going to Lansing or Detroit.. read more

Their macaroons were incredibly hard. Almost took out a tooth biting into one. They smelled of old freezer smell. Yuck! So sad and a waste of 10.00. Also, rude girl at the register. Didn't offer any help and refused to answer questions about the Pandan Waffle. Her comment was: I have no idea. I have no idea. The tea was ok. read more

Delicious! I had the Avocado-Coffee smoothie and enjoyed it very much! Friendly, fast service and a cool atmosphere.

Loved the fresh che, I had the #10 and my friend the #1. Both were so tasty and fresh with different textures and flavors in every sip!

When this place first opened I loved coming here!! I was here maybe 3 times a week but over time the customer service became so much worst. I came in an had a $70 plus dollar order and half of the drinks I ordered came out wrong, and not only that when I grab some straws for the boba the lady working there told me if I wanted straws she was going to have to charge me extra for the straws!!! The customer service is terrible and you think with the amount you just paid for the drinks and being a regular you think they would care more! Never coming back! I'll just wait for Kung fu tea to open!!!!! read more

I had #1 many times in California so I was excited to order it here. Not the same -- the coconut water and the coconut did not taste fresh. The coconut water just tastes like water with sugar -- too sweet even though I specified to put just little sugar. I hope they improve. read more

Very good compared to other places. Has nice decor and staff. Great value for the sizes of boba tea. A little extended wait time for a boba tea but overall 5 stars. read more

I went to Bambu in Detroit and fell in love with it. I was surprised to find out that Grand Rapids also had it. I get the #6 fruit addict and it's perfect since it's sweet but not as sweet as bubble tea. A little on the expensive side but worth it for a treat every once in a while! Note there is a $10 credit card minimum and this place is closed on Mondays. read more

BAMBU - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Their Smashed Avocado is soooo refreshing and good. I crave it once a week! Spicy popcorn chicken snack is so juicy and delicious!

Come on people, for Grand Rapids or even West Michigan this is the best place for Boba. Not a fan of their prices but I don't really have another choice. I always get the classic Black milk tea with boba. I think their boba is good quality. I also tried a lychee smoothie with mango jellies and that was delicious. Taste like those jellies you get at the asian market that you eat out the little cup. I also find a lot of the drinks are authentic. *ahem* Americans may not like it so much...I personally think their ché specials are refreshing and full of good healthy fruits! The place is always clean as well. read more

Service staff seems a little nonchalant but nothing to complain about as I always receive my drinks and they're always correct. Prices are decent and, in my opinion, probably one of the best places to go for boba in the Grand Rapids area. Would definitely recommend the frozen Thai tea or any of their iced coffees. read more

I really like the design, service, and food at this place. I highly recommend! I got the peach milk tea with bubbles and it was delicious. There wasn't too much ice in the drink and the bubbles tastes great. The peach was amazing and I will definitely be going there again. read more

The slowest service you'll ever get. I have been this location twice. NEVER BUSY. The place was not packed either time but I waited forever for both times. I'll give them credit for the taste of tea and pop corn chicken. They were great. But you should not wait for 20-30 to get 2 orders of bubble tea okay? I thought I was being smart for not ordering the popcorn chicken the second time I was there, nope. It was just painfully slow for them to get your order out. If you are in a hurry don't go there. If you have all the time to kill by all means. read more

Great food and great service! Coming from California where we have lots of tea and boba places. This is definitely one of the better ones in Grand Rapids. Will visit again. read more

I went to MI for a business trip and was looking for a boba place to grab a drink, but there was nothing near by. I'm a SoCal girl so I gotta have my boba!! Lol I saw Bambu on the way back to my hotel and was super excited..so I went in to check it out. I think they just recently open this place, since I didn't see it on my last trip. My first impression... I loved the decors!!! This would be a great place for hangouts and meetups. Second impression...the staffs were very nice and friendly. Last, but not least... their drinks...... I got the Bambu Special because that's my favorite drink when I go to Bambu. I really liked how they made my drink because it was not too sweet. The Bambu near my house, their #1 Bambu Special is a little too sweet for my taste buds. I came back again the next morning to get the Vietnamese coffee before my flight back home. Thumbs up for Bambu at Grand Rapids will definitely drop by here again on my next trip!! read more

awesome place!! been looking for a good boba place in grand rapids for a while -- cafe boba is good, but this place is amazing!! there are tons of different options and sooooo many mix-in choices!! the tea is a bit more bitter than what i'm used to, but still delicious nonetheless!! my only complaint (if i'm getting really picky) is the size of the ice - small chunks can get sucked up the straw and mix in with my boba. but other than that, love this place!! really excited now that there's a reliable place where i can try tons of new things:) can't wait to visit again! read more

Good drinks, dessert and environment. You guys should try the jasmin milk tea with crytals boba.

Very nice smoothie. They made a smoothie based on my diet restrictions and it was great. The tapioca was sweet and soft. They didn't even charged me extra for making a drink which was not on the menu. Overall I loved it! read more

Today I went to bambu for the first time. I had ordered the passion fruit tea and not only was it too sour, they had not properly sealed the top. The plastic popped off and ended up spilling in my new car. I had high expectations for Bambu but my drink overall was too sour and the seal job was not done correctly. I've had friends tell me that the milk teas are under average and too expensive for the taste they give. I expected better. The only good thing was the customer service as they were nice. read more

Nothing like real bambu drinks taste like bleach.. when I returned my drinks they blamed the cup..

this is my favorite desert place. nice decoration and great service, jasmine milk tea is my favorite drink, nice people I will be back
