Bambu is my go-to spot for che, hands down! They've got a huge menu with so many options, but I always end up ordering the #1 or #10. The ambiance is always so pleasant, and even when it gets packed (which happens a lot because this place is SO popular), the line moves fast. Service never seems to slow down even during rush. Only downside is parking, especially on weekends -- the plaza gets packed. But honestly, it's a small price to pay for how good this place is. Highly recommend! read more

BAMBU - #10 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

BAMBU feels incredibly nostalgic to me. I used to stop by the Union City location almost every day to pick up drinks for my family and me before it closed a few years ago. While I was in Sacramento, I happened to spot a BAMBU in the plaza and was genuinely excited to grab some drinks. The shop itself is fairly small, with limited indoor seating--about five tables in total. Unfortunately, the dining area wasn't very clean. Tables weren't being wiped down after customers left, so new groups would simply sit at dirty tables without anyone cleaning them in between. The menu is displayed overhead. You order and pay at the counter before waiting for your drinks. Our group of five ordered five drinks, and while the selection was great, the prices were on the higher side. When our order was ready, it was disappointing that we had to ask for basic items like a bag for the drinks and spoons. These weren't available for self-service, so we had to request them. The elderly gentleman helping us seemed visibly annoyed by the request, which left a poor impression. It's the small details and customer interactions that can really shape the overall experience. As much as I love BAMBU as a brand, this particular location fell short. Between the unfriendly service, lack of attention to cleanliness, and higher prices, I wouldn't go out of my way to visit the Sacramento location again. Unfortunately, I don't see myself returning in the future. read more

Another Bambu location, this one neighbored by several other Vietnamese shops and eateries in a strip mall. My friend says this franchise has changed owners several times, but overall drinks are pretty reliable. Good if you're a person on a mission just to get your dessert drink fix in a timely fashion, but ambiance-wise, not the most comfortable or peaceful place to relax with a friend. Parking is pretty easy in the shared surface lot, but you may have to walk a bit depending on the time of day. Of their standard Che drinks, the ones with coconut milk base tend to taste pretty similar but with different textures depending on which toppings you get. I'm a sucker for pandan jelly, red bean, and mung bean, so any variation usually hits the spot for me. The Vietnamese coffees do run on the sweet side (even when asking for reduced sweetness). They do have two all-gender bathrooms, but they seem to be only half operational and not the most well-kept. read more

I've been a fan of Bambu from my time in SoCal, so I was thrilled to see they opened a location here in Sacramento! If you've never had Vietnamese dessert before, this is a great place to start. I ordered my go to, the #10 Bambu Favorite. It's a mix of coconut milk, pandan jelly, and grass jelly, but the star for me is the red tapioca (Chè Thái). If you haven't tried it, they are these delightful little gems made of water chestnut chewy on the outside with a light, satisfying crunch in the middle. They're actually made to look like pomegranate seeds. The only minor downside was the consistency of the coconut milk. It felt a bit thin/watered down, even though there wasn't too much ice. I personally would have preferred a richer, thicker coconut base. However, it still totally satisfied my dessert craving! Definitely give them a try if you want to experience authentic Vietnamese sweets. Service was quick and friendly. read more

The chè drinks are absolutely incredible -- layered, creamy, and packed with texture. From coconut milk to pandan, jellies, beans, and fresh fruit, every sip feels thoughtfully balanced and not overly sweet. The Vietnamese smoothies are rich, refreshing, and made with real ingredients you can actually taste. Everything feels fresh, light, and satisfying without being heavy. What really stands out is the consistency and care. Drinks are beautifully presented, portions are generous, and the staff is always friendly, patient, and happy to explain the menu if it's your first visit. It's the kind of place you keep coming back to because it never disappoints. read more

This is a good place to get some Che with lots of menu options. I just wish their hours were better. I feel like they are always closed when I try to go! There is a small amount of indoor seating available. It can get busy at times and while there is a parking lot, finding parking can be tough here. read more

Bambu is known for their chè. I've been here multiple times in the past and they never disappoint. Their desserts are very affordable and good. My favorites are #10 (Bambi favorite) and #15 (Avacado desserts). I also like their yogurt drinks. Service is always super quick and friendly, it's never a long wait even though they get busy. read more

BAMBU - # 15 avacado dessert - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

It's confusing that a drinks/dessert place operates mostly during standard 9-5 work hours. Most people aren't looking for dessert before dinner or only during lunch breaks. Expanding hours into the evening would make this much more accessible. read more

This is one of my go-to spots for che. My personal favorite is the #2. The volume of the drink with the amount of toppings is superior to other locations I have been too. In combination, the drink is refreshing and delicious especially after leaving the nearby markets. The cashier is always nice and our drinks come out rather rapidly which I like alot. Inside has a decent amount of seats and tables but I think the intenton was just to grab and go. Overall great drinks but I wished the coconut milk was more viscous in lieu of the watered down iteration that they have. read more

Love Bambu! Lots of popular Vietnamese desserts and drinks. I come here for their Vietnamese coffee but also recommend the Avocado coffee smoothie as well! Parking can be a limited but there's usually parking somewhere. Just be careful where you park and keep an eye on your surroundings. A few tables inside and sometimes outside. Please note they do close early like at 4pm, so good early in the day for your caffeine or in the afternoon for your dessert! read more

BAMBU - Menu as of 02/01/2026. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

I love all the dessert drinks here. They have expanded their menu since it opened awhile ago. They have fruit smoothies as well as coffee and boba. Their service is usually pretty quick, but there was one day that I went and waited 10minutes too long. The person that took my order actually forgot to make my drink and I didn't realize it until I saw 4-5 people after me getting their orders. She apologized and although I was a little annoyed, I realized that it could have happened to anyone when restaurants get busy. It's always busy when I'm here but it's a good sign when I hear a lot of vietnamese in the background. I wish I lived closer, I'd be here everyday. read more

BAMBU - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Authentic Vietnamese coffeehouse/drink location. Their #1 is their flagship drink with all of the coconut slices and add ons included. It's fresh, tasty, and not too sweet. They also have the regular boba/milk tea style drinks, smoothies, and iced coffee as well. Prices are a bit on the higher side. Parking is available in the adjacent lot. Be careful of transients and homeless people with needles on the street. Staff is friendly and efficient. Recommended. read more

Service: the service was standard. Fast and efficient Ambiance: there was a good amount of seating but nothing special Taro Lover: this drink was very good as it wasn't too sweet (adjusted) and the taro was light and flavorful. We really enjoyed it. Smashed Avocado: this drink was also not too sweet and the toppings paired very well with the avocado. One thing I wish was different was that it was a bit too thick for my liking and made it a bit difficult to drink. read more

Love the #10 from this Bambu location. This make it just right with the sweetness. It can get busy sometimes so expect a line especially in the summer time. There's a few tables for sitting inside and one or two tables outside only so don't really expect this to be a sit and enjoy place. Also their Nutella macaron is pretty good. You can get ice on the side for your dessert drinks, just let the cashier know. read more

This is the best Bambu location in Sacramento. The other locations don't even come to close to making the drinks as consistent. Their strawberry and mango parfait drinks are top-tier. This place better not go out of business LOL read more

The young kid in the front cashier was digging his nose for Gold. It was on my spoon. Gross! I recommend the owner to review the camera to see what he does. I was disappointed and gross out by his behavior. I throw away my drinks. Wasted my money and will never go back. Not sure if it's a new owner?

They make the drinks pretty fast. They only have 1 size cup off the menu, and as you can see, the mango dragon fruit size. I guess here tip: u can ask for an additional ice bag on the size to add more into your drink as well. #1. It's the most expensive one on the menu, $8.50. It's just coconut water with some coconut slice and leeches. Wow! read more

The drinks are really delicious, parking is a little difficult but worth it. I usually get a #10, Bambu Favorite.

Been coming here for years! Service is always timely and fast especially when it's busy. We ordered the: - #10 BAMBU Favorite: always a hit with my family! Love the flavors and different textures in it. - Durian Smoothie: fresh and delightful for those who love durian. It was very smooth as well. - Strawberry Sparkling Soda w/ boba: this was a little too sweet for me so if you like really sweet drinks this is for you! Good flavor nonetheless. - Mango Drizzle Smoothie w/ mango jellies: classic mango flavored smoothie! Delicious!!! read more

Bambu has always been one of my favorite spots for che. It's great to see this in the Sac area as a San Jose local! BAMBU SPECIAL (#1): 5/5 This drink is super refreshing especially on a hot summer day. Honestly, I think it beats drinking boba sometimes. They seriously make the best banh lot, and I love how longan, coconut meat, and basil seeds are included. I did notice that their menu slightly differs from the location in Elk Grove, and they don't allow upsizing for desserts. The prices here are steep depending on what you get, but it is so worth. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Bambu is not the same anymore.. smh We ordered 4 drinks and among one of the drink.. we added red tapioca to the coffee. The red tapioca tasted hard and old. Told the owner they denied it Ava says they'll refund if we want.. but that's NOT the point. They were rude and they could of ask if we wanted something else.. service is terrible and drinks no longer tastes the same. Guess I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

I've been coming here for years. Never have good service each time but today was the worst visit. I order #6 , I told the rude cashier that I don't want boba. She just screamed at me that where on the menu is the boba word?! I said red tapioca, isn't it boba? She screamed "NO" at me. I'm at the age where I can be her mom. The way she talked she just screamed and gave me such a poor attitude. I didn't see her do that to the male customers. What a shame to think this is how they do business here. read more

Located in a little shopping plaza, there is a crowded parking lot. However once you endure the long lines, you get rewarded with come great Che or drinks. I usually get the smoothies or the yogurt beverages, & have not been disappointed. The interior has some seating but is quite small. So this place is best to take your order to go. The process is quite fast from ordering to pick up. They're very on top of their orders and are very consistent with their accuracy. read more

Omg yum!! I was in town on a road trip with my mom and whenever I'm in a different city I always have to stop to get boba or any Asian drink to try it out. I was on yelp during the whole trip to see which place I should go and I decided to go to BAMBU. Very easy to find, good parking. They have a large selection of drinks but I decided to go with the bambu special. I was just paying for the drink and it was already done, so they are very fast at making drinks. The first sip was heaven. It was so so refreshing and absolutely delicious! I love all the textures of the chewiness from the jelly and then crunch from the basil seed. I'm craving one now! When I'm in town again I will definitely stop here and try more drinks. Definitely recommend read more

BAMBU is my favorite location for desserts. They have numerous branches spread across California. The closest address to your location can be found using Google. Bambu is a store that specializes in Vietnamese desserts and all different kinds of drinks. The fact that the drinks and desserts aren't overly sugary is what makes me love this business. I always visit Bambu to buy a cup whenever I miss a taste in Vietnam. Additionally, they sell pennywort juice, especially at the Sacramento location. Pennywort has a cooling impact on the body, is quite tasty, and is great to drink. This store is exceptionally clean, and the service is quick. I highly recommend this place!! read more
