This is a cute little place at Crabtree and I wanted a bubble tea. They seem to get busy quickly so I'm glad I beat the rush. It is just like any other boba shop, I got a brown sugar ice milk with almond milk. It was creamy, the boba was fresh. Overall really good. read more

Bapu Teahouse - Bubble Tea Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Bapu Tea House in Crabtree Valley Mall is a good choice if you're in the mood for a quick boba fix without the frills. My daughter and I stopped in on a weekday evening close to 8 PM. I tried the Strawberry Matcha Latte, and it was pretty tasty-- not overly sweet but could've used a little more strawberry flavoring. While not the best strawberry matcha I've had in the area, this one adds a nice touch to your shopping excursion. I'd give it a solid 7/10. My daughter went for her usual favorite--Brown Sugar Boba--but unfortunately, they were out of regular tapioca pearls. She had to settle for Boba Magic in the brown sugar flavor, which didn't have the chewy, sticky texture that she has come to love about brown sugar boba. For her, that was a bit of a letdown but not enough for her not to visit again. The vibe is very no-frills--clean but minimal. Not much in the way of ambiance if you're looking to sit and sip, but it works for grab-and-go. There was no line, but a steady stream of folks picking up drinks. Our drinks came out quickly. All in all, it's a convenient, reliable spot with decent drinks, quick service, and a casual setup. I'd stop by again while shopping. read more

I visited this place on Black Friday, after shopping around me and my girlfriend decided to get some boba. This was my first time trying it, We both ordered the Strawberry Matcha latte and it was good, they have multiple selection and I think the location is not bad since is inside Crabtree Mall, I wish they had some chairs or tables, but the area was empty. read more

This is a small shop inside the Crab Tree Mall and it simple and cute. The service is fast and polite so you go in and out. The milk tea here is good, a bit on the thicker end but still very sweet and delicious. read more

Milk tea was ok, I've definitely had better in other places. I found that the boba was a bit on the harder side rather than soft and easy to chew. read more

It's cute place to be for a cooling drink. The milk teas are nicely made. However they are all made from powders. So it's not the freshest and can be bland because it's not enough powder or the flavor is lacking. Overall it is okay. read more

I had the peach milk tea with boba and enjoyed it! It wasn't overly sweet and I enjoyed the foam they put on top of the drink. The service was friendly and the barista gave us tips on drinks to try, which I appreciated. The ambiance is solid and there was good music playing -- the seating is a bit low to the floor, but I was able to get work done! As a note, they do have a punch card/rewards program, so definitely grab a punch card if you see yourself going back! read more

Upon walking in they only had one person working, that seemed annoyed when I went to order. Ordered an Ube Ice Milk that had almost no Ube. I paid 9 dollars for a glass of milk. The service and drinks used to be better but have gone down hill slowly over my time visiting this location. read more

Bapu is located on the lower level of Crabtree Valley Mall. There isn't much to the space, just a few chairs and tables along both walls. I ordered a strawberry lemonade fruit tea and my husband ordered a original black milk tea with boba. There was no line so they made the drinks quickly. The milk tea was good but he has had better and the fruit tea was way too sweet. I ended up drinking half and tossing it. Adjusting the sweetness was not offered as an option. read more

Amazing service and place!! I always get their classic brown sugar drink. They are always adding new drinks too

Bapu was pretty good; I think right on par with all the other tea houses around town. I stopped in while doing some Christmas shopping around Crabtree mall and there was no line. I picked the taro milk tea and it was delicious and refreshing! I'd definitely grab a tea at Bapu again. read more

Walked in here after shopping in the mall. There's always a long line, making me think it must be good. But I was wrong, at least what I ordered was not good. Just very sweet. No other flavor. read more

Located inside Crabtree Mall-2nd level, across from the Apple Store is Bapu Fresh. Most times when walking by there has been quite a line since Bubble Tea is popular and enjoyed by many. They have another location in Morrisville NC so it's nice to have this option for a delicious beverage in the mall. The mall opens at 10am on Saturday and we were some of the first to check it out before the crowds. My first impression of this place is that it was calm and clean. If I had the time, I could totally sit at one of their tables and watch people shop while sipping on my tea. The young lady at the register was pleasant and the menu was big and bright right above her head. We didn't have any questions but if we did there was a wall that explained how to order. My daughter got the Brown Sugar Milk Tea which is listed as one of their Best Sellers. You can customize to have you drink made your way. Not in the mood for tea--no worries they also offer a variety of smoothies! read more

This walk up/takeout teahouse is so unique with a menu that has something for everyone. The flavors are fun, and each one offers something different. They offer milk tea, fruit tea, butterfly tea, smoothies and specialty beverages. My personal favorite is the Strawberry Lce Milk, with or without the tapioca pearls. The tapioca pearls are a gummy, chewy treat that absorb the tea and sink to the bottom. The give you a wide straw so you can enjoy those as you sip. The combination of the strawberry tea, cold milk, and froth is amazing, be sure to mix! This is a very popular shop, so sometimes there may be a line, but it does move steadily! Price is $5.99. 10/10 would recommend! read more

This was my first visit to Bapu. I was shopping and got super thirsty so I stopped in for a drink. It's a cute little boba spot inside Crabtree Valley Mall. I went at 5pm on a Tuesday so it wasn't busy, and only 2 orders were ahead of mine. The service was friendly, fast, and I didn't have a long wait for my drink. I ordered a strawberry fruit tea. I took a sip of my drink and it seemed fine. After a few minutes of walking I noticed my drink was overly sweet like strawberry syrup and no tea flavor at all. I'm not someone who likes sugary drinks so it wasn't for me. read more

Friendly staff but drinks are just ok. Got the Thai Milk tea with boba. The boba did not appear to have been cooked properly...was hard in the middle. Think their creamer products contain carrageenan. Gf had gotten the strawberry ice milk and felt the symptoms afterwards so if you're allergic, be aware. Not sure what that drink was supposed to be but if it was milk, it was thickened some how and was like drinking a Cook Out milkshake (y'all know those Cook Out milkshakes will flatten your straw they are so thick lol) Most likely my last visit unless someone is buying it for me lol read more

Great place for bubble tea. They have many flavors. I tried the matcha and taro. Both were amazing

Súper good. They're so quick even where crowded. Love my brown sugar milk tea. Boba what made well. read more

Ordered Brown sugar Iced Milk for the whole family- not sweet enough and boba was over cooked ( very chewy) $5.99 plus extra for Boba. Had many different Boba teas from different Bova Tea shops. This experience was at the lower end of the list. read more

Maybe I'm biased because I love MilkLab tea (the best tea ever)- but this was one of the worst places I've ever been. The service wasn't bad at all but the drinks were bad enough that I genuinely didn't even want to ask for them to be remade. The boba texture was alright but the Thai milk tea had such a horrible taste. I really can't pinpoint it. I'm hoping something was expired? It hit me at the first sip and I had to throw away my drinks because I could not stomach it. The other drink was a coffee of sorts and it was better, but it was insanely bitter. I enjoy black coffee of all kinds but this was different. Both drinks were intolerable and unfortunately had to be thrown away. The atmosphere wasn't bad. The employees weren't bad, and I truly hope this was a fluke. But, at the state of today's visit, I would highly recommend not wasting your money. read more

I come here multiple times a WEEK it's always good. I think I've only had one bad drink out of a ton I've ordered. Everyone is nice and I love it! read more

The "milk tea" had no tea and was just sweet milk and the matcha strawberry was honestly just gross and the texture was like curdled milk - it was somehow way too thick and sweet yet bitter. The girl working there couldn't properly explain the menu or boba types. Don't waste your money or calories on this cheap imitation of Milklab. read more

The boba was hard and the oolong milk tea was watery, staff were nice but nothing outstanding

Very good boba. Very nice people. Lovely seating. I go with friends all the time. 10/10

My experience with this particular boba store left a lot to be desired. I am not a boba fiend but I do enjoy Taro as I have tried it before. I ordered the Ube Ice Milk w/ boba. All the ingredients were inside but it really just tasted like milk... could not recommend ordering this drink and be cautious as our lid broke when attempting to insert the straw. :( read more

their brown sugar boba is my absolute favorite boba drink. one of the best that i've ever had.
