Bubble Tea
Irene L.

I can never turn down Bubble Tea! What a cute spot to grab some drinks or hang out! We ordered Strawberry Matcha, Taro Milk Tea and Butterfly Mango drink! We all enjoyed it - I would like to try another drink soon!

I always stop by when I visit Bloomington. Interior is pretty ni ce and simple. Plenty item on the menu. The boba drink is good and refreshing. Pricewise, it is reasonable. The service is also pretty quick.

All Dog

We ordered online through Hungry Panda, which was super easy. They also gave us 12% with the online order. Our order was ready on time, the server was friendly, and the corn dogs were awesome! We only ordered the corn dogs, nothing else, but we did try one of each kind. They were all delicious and perfectly crispy. A bit expensive, but I was happy to try them this once.

I recently came back to visit Bapu, and it's changed a lot over the few years since it's opened. I was excited to check it out and get a wintermelon milk tea, but I was a little disappointed by the quality of the milk tea this time around. It seemed very artificial and the boba was a little hard. The place also looks like it could use a little more taking care of. The staff is definitely nice though and I think it's still a nice place to check out. I still enjoy the decor they've kept!

Pineapple Milk Tea
Bronson S.

I got the pineapple milk tea with boba and salt cream. The flavor was really good and the saltiness of the cream really brought it all together for that salty sweet flavor combo. Service was friendly and extremely fast! They also have outlets everywhere to charge laptops if you decide to get some work done here. Lastly, prices were pretty good!

Matcha green tea smoothie with strawberry and honey boba
Sean V.

Good man, I got the matcha strawberry smoothie and it was very sweet. They say this is the best place for boba tea's but this does Justice as well.

Ordered a half/half dog to go...this is what saw went I got home. Wtf

Ordered a corndog half & half to go, this is what I saw when I got home and unwrapped the foil. Why would you even give this to me. I should have unwrapped it at the store.

Mango smoothie
Sam R.

I was once struck by a moving vehicle while en route to Bapu and still got my peach smoothie anyway. (That's not a joke, it was at the Bapu on 10th Street though, so don't feel like you're going to get hit by a car going to Bapu Fresh.) I have never ordered anything other than a peach smoothie or a mango smoothie at Bapu. I'm much more of a smoothie person than a bubble tea person, but a lot of people who like bubble tea say Bapu is the best. I should really try something else here, but the smoothies are SO good, especially the peach one. I have had their Taiwanese-style chicken, and it was pretty tasty. This is such a cute little store, too! I wonder how many Instagram pictures have been captured in Bapu Fresh...you sure couldn't do that at the 10th street Bapu...Shack? Hut? Stand? Whatever you call it. To put it mildly: I don't get Bapu that often, but when I move away from Bloomington I will definitely think about their peach smoothie on a weekly basis and lament the fact that I didn't waste even more of my own money on them.

One corner of cafe
Destinie L.

I really enjoy this place every time I come here. I'm not a regular but I do go often and every time I am treated with light hearted humor and kindness. The drink I order (coffee milk tea with boba) always tastes the same (yay!) and the atmosphere is pretty chill for those who like to study in a more quiet coffee shop!

Matcha milk tea with tapioca boba
Carmen B.

A super cute and very Instagrammable bubble tea place right next to the Sample Gates? Please! I had heard that Bapu is great, so I was excited to try it and sip on my delicious afternoon snack. Sadly, the bubble tea didn't do it for me. I've had lots of bubble tea and so I went in with a pretty good idea of what I like and don't like. I went for the matcha milk tea with tapioca boba, which is a classic in my bubble tea repertoire and something you can count on every place having. My brother had the iced milk drink with caramel, pudding, and tapioca boba. Another time I stopped in, I had the honeydew milk tea with tapioca boba. Each time, everything tasted extremely chalky. Though they were all chalky, the honeydew milk tea tasted especially so. Not only was the taste off, but the aftertaste just wasn't great. I love tapioca boba, so I really wanted to love them, but the consistency was just too sticky and gooey. The boba were melty in my cup soon after I got my drink. Despite the drinks not being great, the people working inside were very approachable and offered everyone who came in recommendations on their favorite menu items. The drinks do that a while to make, so just be aware if you're stopping in on your way to class or something that's time-sensitive. After going twice and not loving it, I'm definitely going to continue my quest for great bubble tea in Bloomington, but just somewhere other than Bapu.

Such a cute spot with insta-worthy decor. They had teas and several options to swap out the milk. We came in an hour before closing and people still trickled in and out. Get ready to wait for your order, even if it's just one tea. The team is super kind and even when they had a line offered the best of service! I read a review that said the tea tastes chalky, I disagree. The tea is flavorful and the boba is a good consistency. My friend LOVES bubble tea suggested we stopped in and she was not let down. Happy we were able to pop in as we passed B-Town!

Tarp Milk Tea with Honey Boba
Natalie V.

Enjoyed an iced taro milk tea with honey boba. This was my first time checking it out. Quaint little place located next to Starbucks across from IU campus. Parking is tricky as you'll have to find street parking and walk. They have a variety of teas and smoothies available.

First time going today and everything was amazing!…read more We ordered the chicken arepa, the pabellón arepa, and three different tequenos: Venezuelan llanero cheese wrapped in dough and fried as well as guava and jalapeños tequenos. Each were very flavorful and the dough was perfect. I personally enjoyed the chicken arepa the most. We were both very pleased with our meals. The Venezuelan cheese however was not my favorite cheese ever.. so I might ask for it on the side so that it doesn't ruin your whole arepa/sandwich just in case you feel the same. The service was very accommodating and pleasant. The ambiance was clean and decorated very nicely. We will certainly be back for more!

Amazing traditional Venezuelan bakery, sandwiches , sweets, and coffee. We tried pastelitos,…read moreempanadas, and desserts. They serve the Cafe Vida Divina coffees here, got to try one as the taste great and good for my health and energy boost. These bake goods are all home made in-house and very fresh. Super friendly service from the owner herself. So good we doubled our order to take more home and another coffee to-go. Make sure to order the fresh avocado sauce and the garlic sauces to dips. The fruit punch and aguapanella were refreshing on the hot day were were eating here. Lastly, this is very easy to access as it is on a main streets, a bike path, on the bus line, and a bus stop right in front. No excuses not to enjoy what we just did.

Cute place. It may be slightly run down but not yet to the point where it's concerning. I liked the…read morecolourful atmosphere with the painted walls and stained glass decoration in the windows, and I thought my seat was very cozy. The food is diner-style but very good so far. I visited twice for a breakfast and a lunch. Lunch: I had a Black Russian sandwich and a pot of Emperor's Pride tea. The sandwich, which is a vegetarian version of a Reuben with roasted veggies instead of meat, was delicious. They really piled on the veggies. Some fell out of the sandwich, but I just ate them with the home fries. The home fries also were nicely seasoned. The tea was a little off. It's possible it was the tea itself that didn't taste how I expected, but it kind of tasted like I was getting the flavour of a different tea in the pot. Breakfast: Apple pancake and bouquet latte (seasonal special - lavender Ceylon tea latte with honey and rose syrup). The bouquet latte was wonderful and had this beautiful red swirl latte art. The pancake was nice and fluffy. One pancake is something like $5, but one is enough for a complete meal, maybe with a protein side if you're especially hungry. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. The food didn't take very long even though they seemed busy.

I'm not sure why we don't go to the Runcible Spoon more often, but honestly think we kind of forget…read moreit. Son decided he wanted to go as he was craving breakfast for dinner, so off we went. Again, as always, was impressed and enjoy the quirky nature of the Spoon. RS is in an old house just off Kirkwood. A bunch of smaller rooms, plus a large outdoor dining patio out front. We got lucky with parking on the street pretty close to the restaurant (no real parking lot) and I would have preferred to eat outside but daughter got to the hostess first and we ended up indoors. Everyone ended up with breakfast choices. Wife had an omelette, said it was great. I had banana+granola pancakes (two) which was plenty. The flavor was great. Also eggs and toast. Son had the Kevin which is basically what I ordered but with French Toast. Daughter had a chocolate chip pancake which she enjoyed. Overall, great food and very reasonable. Service was on point and again the atmosphere is fun and quirky. Need to add to our regular rotation.
