Like their lychee snow but not so much the matcha milk tea. Nice and clean place. Difficult parking & the drinks come out very long. read more

Not your typical, expected boba shop. My friends got a Thai tea and brown cinnamon snow. These drinks were what you would expect from a boba store, no complaints. The fruit teas were just ok, not outstanding. I wish they had a better selection of popping boba and jellies. The Italian soda was not good at all. It tasted like flat soda. read more

Better Bevs - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This place is not your traditional boba shop. Their toppings are limited to sub-par house made boba and pre-made popping boba, no traditional toppings like red bean, grass jelly, or aloe. The in house boba has no flavor, usually it's sweet like honey or brown sugar, and it's more mushy than bouncy. What they lack in Asian flair they make up in different flavors you wouldn't see in a traditional boba shop. I got the watermelon lemonade with cherries and strawberry popping boba, and it was TART and pricey -- $7 for a small. It had no watermelon flavor but aesthetically was cute and full of glitter. My friend got a blended drink that was was on the icier side with larger chunks of ice instead of a smoother snow texture. The shop itself has bright, almost surgical lights, which isn't too inviting at night time. It also took awhile to get our drinks and we were the only ones there. This place is on the newer side, so I acknowledge that, but this place was definitely not my cup of tea for boba drinks. read more

Better bevs is always 10/10!!! Never disappoints and they've always got something new to try!! So sad it's no longer down fourth ave but in excited for this new change. The business is women owned and operated and it is absolutely a 1000/10 recommend read more

Really neat soda shop concept that tries to do every trendy beverage under one roof. We're talking Hawaiian shaved ice, milk tea, and even some Mexican slushies (raspados?) in one place. Great for when you want a cold dessert but can't decide on anything in particular. The add ins include all sorts of boba, popping boba, and jellies, but I had my taro milk tea straight up. Simple and tasty. Also tried an iced chocolatey beverage that had some brown sugar jellies at the bottom. It was great! Next time, I'll be more adventurous with my flavors--maybe go with a chamoy-mango slush or toasted sesame shaved ice. This place isn't perfect--if you know you want boba, a standalone boba spot will be better, and so on. Prices are also pretty steep--a larger milk tea with boba might set you back like 9 bucks. But it's fun, service is good, and there's a level of variety I'm just not seeing anywhere else. I know people liked the old ice cream place that used to be here, but it's long gone and the new spot is such an improvement. Hoping Better Bevs sticks around for more summers to come! read more

My daughter and I had to run downtown today so we decided to hit 4th Avenue for a quick bite. My daughter mentioned that there was a new boba place on 4th and being big fans of all things boba, we headed to Better Bevs. Walking in, we were immediately overwhelmed by the huge menu of choices. Don't get me wrong. That's definitely not a bad thing and there were many choices if boba isn't your thing! After perusing the menu for a while, my daughter chose a pistachio milk tea with traditional boba and I chose a strawberry cheesecake milk tea with strawberry popping boba. We also ordered grilled cheese sandwich each, knowing full well with only 3 sandwiches on the menu that food definitely isn't their forte. The drinks were made quickly and the sandwiches came shortly after. The staff were all friendly and inviting, so zero complaints about the service. Our boba tea was AMAZING! I'm a bit angry that I ordered the strawberry cheesecake milk tea because it was so good, I'll be hard-pressed to try anything else! I will definitely have to make myself try something different next time. Maybe. I also tasted my daughter's pistachio milk tea and it was delicious too. Now for the sandwiches. We really weren't expecting much, so I guess we weren't disappointed. Was it the worst grilled cheese we've ever had? No, certainly not. Did it make either of us maybe inappropriate sounds in public because it was so tasty? Again, no. The bread was tasty (sourdough maybe?) and it was grilled nicely but it was very dry. I'm pretty sure no butter was harmed in the making of these sandwiches. Boo hiss. It was nowhere near worth $4.50. Maybe add some butter, use thicker bread and include a small bag of chips. Bam. Now it's worth $5. All in all, we will definitely be returning. We will just make sure to eat beforehand or afterward. read more

If you are a big boba fanatic... I would pass on this place ): It's definitely a good place to take kids on a hot day since the place is very spacious and well air conditioned. However... I don't think the syrups they use with their tea goes well together. The strawberry hibicious tea I got was mediocre. The boba wasn't bad but the drink itself did not go well together and for $7 bucks.. not worth it.. read more

Better Bevs - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

This is my second visit. Due to a mix up, I had a slight allergic reaction and didn't feel that I could give a fair review on my first visit. Customer service was excellent both visit. The staff is friendly and really seems to enjoy their job. Drinks are available as small, medium, large, and mason jar sizes. They also offer three different sandwiches. I got the exact same thing both times, a large chocolate milk tea and a grilled cheese. The grilled cheese seems to be made with a panini press and is pretty good, if slightly greasy. The chocolate milk tea was definitely a large and was delightful even if it was a bit on the sweet side. I will most likely be back to try some of their other drinks, like their Italian sodas and maybe their Hawaiian style shaved ice. read more

My nephew brought me here saying its the best, and wanted me to experience it since I love boba, and milk teas. Unfortunately, this was just ok. Not bad but not great either. Just the middle of the mill hoba around town. The atmosphere is cool though. They have a chalk wall that everyone writes or draws whatever they want, and the music is cool along with the big menu hanging over the counter. The customwr service was also good. The drinks themselves though, should be the star of the show, but instead they were the most basic thing there. Dont get me wrong if im walking by and want some boba i would go, but there r way better places with way more flavor in their drinks. I say give it a shot and see what you think. It might have just been an ok 3 drinks we got haha. Good luck people :) read more

I am so impressed with this spot! The shop is very clean, they have a big menu and very friendly employees. The location is perfect too. Right between 4th avenue and Congress. The Cha-Mango was DELICIOUS!! The texture of the snow was so fluffy and had the perfect amount of sweet. Locally owned, Latina owned and ran by women... everything I want in a business! I also enjoy that they are open so late! These girls know what they're doing and they deserve your business. Give it a try! read more

This appears to be a new tea restaurant off of 4th Avenue, so it is kind of sparse inside with decor and places to sit. There is a neat chalkboard full of artwork and scribblings inside that gives it a bit of a hip vibe. However, the menu is HUGE and pretty extensive. There seems to be a lot of dairy free options for those who have allergies or who are vegan. The drinks we tried that day were a banana pudding drink and an Italian soda that had an ocean name...(can't remember what that is). Both were extremely tasty, especially with the banana pudding drink that had a rim of Nilla wafers around it! Those may be seasonal drinks, since they aren't on the website's menu. They weren't too sweet, the taste was fresh, and they were both delicious. The service was wonderful-the cashiers were friendly, but not overly so, and they appeared to be having fun as they worked. All in all I can't wait to go back and try some more drinks. read more

If you are wanting to visit one of the most welcoming, relaxed, and enjoyable boba shops in Tucson. I highly recommend stopping by Better Bevs. Employees quick efficient and clean, ownership is top tier, making sure all and every guest who walks through the doors are welcomed, and are able to enjoy at least a handful of things on the menu. The staff were able to accommodate my drink preferences with items on their menu so I didn't feel left out while my friends had their fun drinks. 10/10 recommend for Individuals with dietary restrictions, as they're able to accommodate. Drinks were delicious, and the boba was fresh, and not gummy. Restaurant is clean. read more

Better Bevs - cherry limeade! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I work down the street and decided to check out this new beverage spot with my friend and co-worker. While under construction we were told they would have boba and were so excited! They have so much more than boba!! Their menu is insane from the typical milk tea options to specialty items like tiger brown sugar boba to popping boba with flavors like chili mango playing homage to the Tucson pueblo and familiar flavors of the desert Southwest and Mexico. It was super hot out so we grabbed a cucumber lemonade...not even going to lie it is probably the best lemonade I've ever tasted tbh! It has a fresh garnish of mini cucumbers that were so cute! If you choose not to seal your cup the traditional boba style they do really fun things like make chili, salt and sugar rims for your to go orders! If you chill and sip in their shop they serve their drinks in huge old timey mason jar glass cups!! They definitely give you large drink sizes which is perfect when you've spent all day in the AZ heat walking, thrifting and shopping all that downtown Tucson has to offer. Perfect spot for those bar crawling or tailgating to get their pregame fix as they have a drink that is full of electrolytes that they say will help prevent hangovers! Their staff appears to be young college kids that are all super friendly and helpful! They were busy but worked fast together to get everyone's drinks out! They had a super cute mugshot on the wall of their team members. I highly recommend you stop in and check out this little hidden gem nestled between Ermanos and The Shanty!! I can't wait to try more flavors, bye bye paycheck! read more

The drinks were 5 stars but the service ruined the whole experience! I follow them on instagram and have been wanting to try their drinks since moving to Tucson and saw how interactive they are on Instagram. On their instagram they promote their hospitality and friendly workers but Nicole (the name on our receipt) is FAR from this. She was visibly annoyed at any questions we asked and annoyed by our presence. she answered our questions with eye rolls and hand gestures pointing to the menu. I love to support small businesses but do not want to go back when their workers clearly hate their job. read more
