    If you know me, you know I'm ALWAYS open to try something NEW!!! And Bambu fit the bill for THE NEW. Stopped in because I saw the sign high up in the air, way to go advertising team. Walking in I was greeted with fresh smells & warm smiles. This was a new place for me, so of course, I am taking in all the sights, from the GET CHE MIND RIGHT backdrop, to the wall menus, to the vending machines & all the other signage that provide helpful suggestions. I was shocked to learn of drinks made with kidney beans was on the menu. The kidney beans are said to be sweet. I promised to try it, as it's quite hard to fathom kidney beans would be sweet. That will be my drink of choice next time. But this time, I tried a more fruity drink and It was quite pleasing to me. There was ice cream at the very top and the cashier suggested that I hurry and eat that before it melted I did what she said, and I had two treats in one drink. The ice cream and then the gummy's at the very bottom. It was like eating gummy bears or gummy worms with a dessert drink. Every mouthful was chewy and flavorful. To be noted, there are non-dairy options as well. Don't get scared. So many items to choose from, dessert drinks & banh-mi sandwiches, mango this, kidney beans that... with so many items on the menu that just means I have to return and try more of the concoctions. Shared parking lot. But it doesn't look like most people come and stay alone while. Although there are tables inside where you can sit and maybe do some computer work or read a book the average Joe picks up their drink and goes their way.

    I had a wonderful first visit to Bambu. The space is open, bright, decorated with flowers that drape the space with cheer and a very instagrammable neon sign. I ordered an Oreo milk tea, an Oreo macaron and a pandan waffle. All were delicious! The service was excellent too. I'll def be back to try some of their savory selections. I saw bao and banh mis on the menu, and I have a weakness for both.

    I've been here a few times now because their drinks are so refreshing! It's a cute shop across the street from Ochsner/Target by Clearview. They offer tons of different types of drinks, but they also have a few dessert/snack items if you're peckish! I've tried the mango fruit tea, passionfruit fruit tea, and lychee milk tea. They've all been delicious! The lychee is my fave. I always add popping bobas because they're yummy and fun. I tried adding basil seeds to my last drink and that was nice too. I've yet to try their mochi ice cream, but I've had their macarons before. They were fantastic and adorable too! They do have a points system you can associate with your phone number. The points give you discounts on your purchases! With the weather getting hotter, I'll be back more often!

    Bambu is one of my favorite bubble tea places. Their taro and Thai tea bubble tea are excellent and so is the service. Even when I get my food and drink delivered, it's packed with care. I didn't love the coconut jelly because it's not sweet at all, so I'll stick to mango jelly. The decor is really cute and the friendliness of the staff always makes me want to hang out there a while. They also have happy hour which is how I ventured away from my usual bubble tea order and have also tried the bao and banh mi. I found them flavorful and loved the abundance of carrots, cilantro, and other vegetables. The quality of the meat is what you'd expect from a snack shop, but the sauces are yummy. I highly recommend Bambu.

    The service was GREAT! The cashier was AMAZING ! She recommended the mango smoothie and it had a powdery taste. I wouldn't recommend the mango smoothie, I will be back to try the coconut drink, and I'll update my review off that. The atmosphere was very welcoming, the bathroom was clean and easy to access. The menu is straight forward and has the prices listed, majority of the items has a list of the ingredients and some doesn't... but that's not a problem because the cashier doesn't mind answering questions and she even offered me a sample of the mango jello topping.

    Ok so I arrived at 8:51p and they close at 9p. Yes, people were still there eating. But when I walked in the cashier greeted me as if they weren't close until 10-11p. She was so bubbly and friendly. The restaurant was super clean menu was bright up top and super easy to read & understand the menu. Yes it was different for me! I did try the Strawberry Refresher with Strawberry Jellies. The Refresher was pressure, I'm not a fan of the jellies tho..I also got a Red Velvet macaroon. Omg it was so soft and tasty..they also sell sandwiches..listen next time I'm in Metairie I'm going back..its across from Target on Vets. Also there's like a lounge area towards the back.

    Time to chill!

    Worth the visit! Beautiful decor, tasty treats, and a clean inviting a space that uplifted my day. I tried mochi and two other menu items...exceeded all expectations! Bambu not only excels with the dining experience, but it is also uniquely located on Vets and near Clearview Parkway. And, I can't say enough about how welcoming and pleasant the staff were. Already planning to go back to cool off from the hot weather ahead.

    Years later, I'm glad to say that the customer service here greatly improved! The person who got my order was really nice and polite. Decorum is still clean and neat. I ordered the Bambu Combo for $7.50 with a large size (extra $1.50) which would equal to $9.00. It was a bit expensive for "Che" but I get it because of inflation. The taste was still really good and the dessert was filled with a lot of delicious toppings! The only complaint I have would be that they took almost 30 minutes for my order, but I understand since they had some technical issues. Other than that, my experience at Bambu greatly improved compared to my first visit.

    I ordered coconut sugar cane and it's 90% ice. Yeah. Talking about fillers. lol.

    I ordered the coconut sugar cane and it is 90% ice. That's how they get you. Use ice as fillers.

    Friendly staff and the drinks are always delicious. I usually go for the blended teas especially since it's been so hot outside. Refreshing chè options & yummy waffles too!

    Great location in Metairie. Plenty of parking avaliable in the rear of the building.. The interior is spacious and has such a cute vibe to it. Definitely a chill hang out spot. Free wifi. Look forward to visiting a few more times to try more of the items

    The perfect spot for not too sweet desserts (iykyk)! Loved the halo halo and taro lover. Servings are very generous in size. The shave ice is perfect for the NOLA summers weather. The dining area is cute and always clean. Definitely check them out!

One thing that sets Follow Tea apart from other bubble tea places I've been to previously, is that they offer cheese as the foamy part of your tea. They also offer a variety of fruit and milk teas. I was intrigued by the cheese, so I got the Lychee Rose Cheese Tea. This is made using cream cheese, the same type of cheese that cheesecake is made of. This is actually traditionally a Taiwanese method of making bubble tea. My friend got the Passionfruit Tea without the cheese. My Lychee Rose Cheese Tea arrived beautifully presented. The cup was made of sturdy, frosted plastic. On top there were some dried roses. This was so tasty! I loved the flavor, it was subtly sweet, and the cheese provided a slight savory balance. The tiny pieces of lychee were an added chewy bonus. My friend also enjoyed her Passionfruit tea. I wish we had some bubble tea places that offered the cheese foam, here in Connecticut, maybe I'll have to look a bit harder. We had a lovely time at Follow Tea, and enjoyed their tasty products.

They were a good size and there were plenty of them. I left full and satisfied. The space itself is cute and tucked into a tiny strip mall, nothing over the top but still a nice vibe for a casual meal. Service was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The only downside was that they were out of quite a few items. The staff mentioned it was because we came on the later side of the early evening (around 4 pm), which felt a little early to be running low, but not a dealbreaker. Overall, a solid find and I'll return the next time I'm in town.
