    Lychee refresher front,  strawberry smoothie with boba back
    Joy L.

    This place isn't just 5 star Anchorage quality, its 5-star NYC/LA quality. If you're a traveler, you know what I mean. Their product is perfect every time. EVERY time. A surprisingly, their prices are reasonable given that we are in timbuktu. They always have a great monthly special and they have a rewards program as well. Follow them on Insta for updates. If you want diabetes, try their brown sugar bubble mix- its out of this world. They have a great variety of teas, fruits, toppings, milks, caffeine and refreshers. I also adore their cups and lids. They DO NOT SPILL. This place gets 10 stars from me for perfection.

    The boba scene in Anchorage looked grim. That is until we came across Bear Bubble Tea, possibly the only 2nd gen-type boba establishment in the city. Arriving for a weekday afternoon treat, we were greeted by a small line of customers. Luckily they are pretty efficient with their drink process so we got ours quickly. Classic Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, Iced ($6.95) - The tea is surprisingly good. It has decent black tea flavor, has a good creaminess level, not gritty but with a good level of richness, and isn't too sweet at 50% sugar. I wasn't expecting such a good milk tea from a place in Anchorage. This drink comes with boba. The boba is also pretty good. It starts too soft, but firms up a bit after mixing the drink. Still, even at full cold, it's still on the softer side, able to be pressed flat without too much force between the tongue and roof of the mouth. It's clearly marinated in a brown sugar soak, giving stickiness and a good sweetness level. The pearls have a good q level, despite being a little soft. To be honest, I prefer boba that's a little softer over boba that's too firm, as long as it's not to the point of being mushy. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 Usually we only get a single drink from boba shops that are new to us, but after having the Classic Milk Tea, we decided to go for a second since it was so good. Thai Jasmine Green Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, Iced ($6.95) - I had to ask the bobarista what this was and she unfortunately wasn't able to explain it very well, other than stating that it's not Thai tea mixed with Jasmine tea. We were curious enough that we had to order this. After receiving the drink - woah, this milk tea has a really interesting flavor. It's a little like a minty anise, warm and toasty, kind of reminding me of bubblegum actually, with pandan/vanilla and licorice notes. Really interesting and really quite good! Again, the drink includes boba, which is the same texture as the other drink. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 4.5/5 Bear Bubble Tea serves some great drinks, really unexpected quality for the area. They could easily compete in a much larger metro - this is coming from someone who has visited 200+ boba shops over the past 3 years. I guess having "bear" in the name must mean it's good - for some reason, I haven't met a bad "bear" boba place yet! Bathrooms - Single unisex room.

    I have ordered from many the boba establishments in the area and am delighted to declare this particular venue as my utmost preference, given its exceptional mastery of flavor profiles. Notably, the liberty to personalize orders with numerous topping choices, adjustable sugar content, and customizable ice levels resonates with me. The mobile application exhibits impressive streamlining and intuitive design, rendering the ordering process effortless. I hold particular fondness for their lychee and rose beverages, which consistently meet expectations. Furthermore, I have sampled the Blue Magic Yakult, Tropical Paradise, Jasmine Blossom, among others, all of which are delectable and delightful. The store's ambiance is charming, complete with ample seating arrangements. Given its numerous strengths, I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment and intend to revisit.

    Fast service, kind workers, and I enjoyed my drink! Would definitely go back and try more.

    not filling drinks up all the way when asked for no ice, kind of ridiculous

    They are not a very welcoming environment, they just stare at you as you walk into the door with a blank expression. This place used to be good when they first opened, but they let it get to their heads and became very greedy. Their new point system is ridiculous, you have to spend so much money to get a free drink and the points EXPIRE. They need to go back to the punch card system if they're already going to be greedy in other aspects. I also saw this on facebook. (see photo attached)

    Brown sugar boba milk with no boba
    Skye R.

    Stopped by for the first time today, very cute aesthetically pleasing shop. Nice music and beautiful graphics and signage for all the drinks and specials. A kind lady took my order and I got the brown sugar bubble milk (no boba tho since I'm picky lol) Everything was delicious and came out pretty fast! The only complaint I have is when I brought my drink out I noticed it was dripping quite a bit from under the seal unfortunately and I tried to clean it up but then it dripped more but it's okay haha... Definitely would go here often if I lived in Anchorage!

    Punch cards!
    Carrie G.

    I've been here several times. They no longer do a punch card which kinda sucks cause I was three drinks away from a free one! Now they use cash app rewards and you get 1 star for every $ spent. Each drink is around 6/7/8 $ not including all the cheese foam and jelly/boba that you add. You need over 100 stars to get anything as a reward so it's kinda a waste. I like the punch card better.

    Bear Bubble Tea is one of the best bubble tea places in town! With its convenient location on Dimond Blvd and King Street, in a busy area, it is no surprise this place is popping. When you walk in, you are greeted by a modern, clean white interior that feels fresh and inviting. Most of the time, the line starts as soon as you walk in, but don't worry - they have multiple ways to place your order. At the counter, you can order your favorite drink from one of the great staff members. On the right side of the counter is a self-order kiosk, or you can online through their app ahead of time. The parking lot can sometimes be challenging because it is shared with other businesses. Their Mango & Passon Fruit refresher with Strawberry popping pearls is so delicious! *** translation to German for all the world travelers *** Bear Bubble Tea ist einer der besten Bubble Tea Läden in Anchorage! Dank seiner günstigen Lage am Dimond Boulevard und King Street in einer belebten Gegend ist es kein Wunder, dass dieser Laden so beliebt ist. Beim Betreten empfängst Du ein moderne, weisse Einrichtung, die frisch und einladend wirkt. Meistens beginnt die Schlange gleich beim Betreten, aber keine Sorge, Du hast mehrere Möglichkeiten, Deine Bestellung aufzugeben. An der Theke kannst Du Ihr Lieblingsgetränk bei einem der freundlichen Mitarbeiter bestellen. Rechts neben der Theke befindet sich ein Selbstbedienungskiosk oder Du kannst einfach vorab online über die App bestellen. Der Parkplatz kann manchmal etwas schwierig sein, da er mit anderen Geschäften geteilt wird. Ihr Mango-Passionsfrucht-Erfrischungsgetränk mit Erdbeer-Popcorn-Perlen ist einfach köstlich!

    Taro latte blended with brown sugar syrup and boba 75% sweet with soy milk.
    Amaya R.

    Amazing quality tea and toppings. Customer service is next level. Not sure if the woman at the register was the owner, manager, or an employee but her service was amazing. Extremely patient and professional. Customer ahead of me shoved her phone in the woman's face and someone on FaceTime order. The woman didn't even blink, only smiled and patiently took the customers order. I could never exhibit this saint's patience. Been coming to this shop since it opened and they've grown a lot. Not a ton of seating inside but super cute interior. The business owners clearly care about the experience of customers. The boba is great and the flavors are balanced. I usually order a passion fruit jasmine green tea with lychee jelly or taro latte with brown sugar syrup. Perfect every time.

    Finally got to try this recently opened south Anchorage boba spot! It's located in the same strip mall as "Mandala," off Dimond Blvd/King Street. Bear Bubble consistently has lines out the door. Luckily my girls and I were able to sneak in before their early evening rush on a beautiful sunny day. Their interior space is cozy, bright and clean. They offer free lemon water for refreshment. Their menu is easy to read and options are clear. Prices are average. We ordered a brown sugar tea with boba and a mango refresher with mango popping pearls. They also had some Pockys for sale at the register that my toddler cried for. Bear bubble definitely gave what it needed to give. We especially loved their cups. We can't wait to return.

    Super nice workers, cute shop. Great tea and really good spam musabi! On my two week trip to Alaska I went at least four or five times before heading back home.

    The gateway to happiness! (Pick up your order here.)

    I've been driving past this spot for years on my Costco runs and finally decided to stop in, so glad I did! Their menu is way beyond your average boba shop in the U.S. As someone who's Asian and has had authentic boba all over Asia, I can honestly say this place is the real deal. I grabbed a Black Sesame Latte for myself and a Taro Latte for my husband, and wow... we were both obsessed! Their organic brown sugar boba is soft, chewy, and not overloaded with artificial flavors or sweetness. Just perfect. The staff was SUPER friendly and welcoming, and the shop itself has a cute, cozy minimal vibe that makes you want to hang out for a while, but I gotta run my groceries can't wait . If you're in Anchorage and craving bubble tea, this place is a must. Seriously, best boba in town!

    Blended Thai tea with boba
    Daniella A.

    Bear bubble tea is currently in their soft opening phase. I have seen posts on social media about lines sometimes being out the door. Lucky for me the few times I've gone haven't been that crazy, but I can tell why this spot is so popular. This cute cafe has a great menu with a variety of tea, coffee & fruit drinks with add ins. They also have a few food items & will eventually be adding bingsu to their menu. The shop is small, but the aesthetic is very nice & modern. Staff is always super friendly & they work diligently to get your drinks out. The order system includes numbers so everything is pretty streamlined. The first time I went I ordered their signature brown sugar bubble milk tea, and a fresh strawberry blueberry smoothie with whip foam. They brew their own tea for the drinks, which I believe they're the only shop in town that does so. The brown sugar boba were fresh, perfectly chewy & plentiful. The only thing I wish there was an option to customize sweetness because I like my bubble tea on the sweeter side. The standard sweetness level is pretty much what you would find for milk tea in the lower 48. I just really love shops that allow you to customize especially since we don't have one here. The smoothie was made with whole fresh or frozen fruit & not a syrup. It was a very good smoothie & my child enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the milk tea, but went back again to try the Thai tea. I love a good blended Thai tea so I went with that & added in boba. The Thai tea flavor was really good I just wish it was stronger. I think they could play either the levels a little more on the flavors especially since the cups are all the same size. Overall this is a great shop for bubble tea. The menu had a good variety, and it's great to see a ship that uses brewed tea vs. powders.

    Unfortunately, this was a second bad experience in recent months…read more After placing our order, the girl making sandwiches announces it will be at least 30 minutes because they are "too backed up with hot sandwich orders". We acknowledged and took our seats. A couple of observations while we waited. There were 4 workers, and only one making sandwiches. All the patrons were waiting on something from the lunch counter. The tables and main counter all needed a good wipe down. The staff needs better time management training to handle the "crowd". (It was not very crowded but there was no sense of urgency on anyone's part to get the people waiting their food.) The staff making sandwiches should have their hair tied back. I watched multiple people leave without being helped and multiple food delivery people waited and eventually left without the food. After 30 minutes, we did receive our 3 sandwiches. Two cold ones and a grilled cheese. The cold sandwiches were just ok for the price. The grilled cheese was not quite grilled and the cheese did not melt. The lesson learned for me is to just buy the ingredients and make sandwiches. For $50+, I should have just done that. This business could be doing so much better with a good manager, better customer service, and tightening up the cleanliness.

It turns out to be a full-service espresso joint with in-house baked goods. Mostly cupcakes and cookies. There are a few brunch or lunch type of menu items but it is fairly limited. The food that was in the cooler looked good, there were also a few hot dishes to be offered. I was visiting with the person behind the counter and I started to pick up real quick that this person had skin in the game and a passion for baking cakes, cupcakes, pies, and she added that she could make any dessert that a person could want. I am well aware that the most important ingredient in any kitchen is passion. It is apparent that they are buying in bulk! She told me that she will be making a lot of pies for Thanksgiving, pretty much any flavor that you could want. Custom cakes are the specialty. When a gawdy, airbrushed, cake with a doll on it from Carrs it's just a little bit too tacky for your occasion, this will be your place! I wound up walking out with three different flavors of cookies. I just wanted to make sure that they were good if I was going to write about the place. They were! My doctor says that I've got no place eating cookies. But hey, if I'm going to break bad, this is where I'm going to do it. The cookies reminded me of mom's kitchen when I was a little boy. I think I teared up a little bit when I got to the chocolate chip. I can say that they earned a very solid four stars. The fifth star is always reserved for consistency. Keep up the good work and you'll see number five soon. I look forward to furthering my research!
