    Great boba. I love thier seasonal menu as it full of unique combinations and great flavors. I love thier matcha oreo donut. It can get busy at times so be aware of that.

    Lovely cafe! I ordered a Vietnamese coffee and stayed a while to work. It has a great environment and plenty of seating. My order also came out very fast! The staff was quite nice as well.

    I visited Boba Baba for a Yelp Event, when I walked in, I noticed the open space and relaxing environment. There are table seats near the window and a couch in a corner if you prefer the cozy setting. The staff was very friendly and explained all the options. While there I had a mochi donut and a matcha drink. I enjoyed both and left with a box of donuts so that I could try all the varieties.

    Classic Milk Boba Tea, Ube Latte, and ube mochi donut
    Jillian S.

    We continue to enjoy the delicious boba teas and mochi donuts at Boba Baba. At our most recent visit, we were impressed at how quickly our order was made. It was ready before we finished paying! I appreciate how customizable the drinks are regarding sweetness, milk type, and ice level. Plus the employee at the counter prompts you to ensure the drink is made how you want it (rather than assuming a certain level of sweetness). We prefer the horchata, ube, and classic milk tea. The ube is a little gritty, possibly from the ube purée used. The donuts and cream puffs are irresistible sitting in the display case. They are cooked perfectly and flavored well. We recommend this boba shop to others!

    Boba Baba is one of my favorite boba places in Triangle. There are many boba places in the area, but I think their Strawberry Matcha is the best one around here tbh. Their pastries are also quite delish, and they release new pastry flavors every Saturdays in their Instagram. (+ it was my first date spot with my husband, so it will forever hold a special space in my heart!) Boba Baba is celebrating a Matcha week, so I had to come to try their limited matcha options. I got Yuzu Matcha, and it had the perfect yuzu flavor that went superbly well with matcha. Wish it was one of the permanent drink options. The staff at Boba Baba is always friendly, and I've never had any issues with anyone. I might be back before the Matcha week is over to try the other limited matcha options!

    Strawberry Matcha Latte

    Always get great drinks here ! My favourite is the strawberry matcha latte, hit sugar goals for the week but so worth it their mochi donuts are really good too .. my favourite is their Oreo matcha, today I got the chocolate and a passion fruit donut (yet to try). The straw they gave was a little weak and tore when I was trying to mix my latte, since the strawberry puree sits at the bottom and the matcha is right on top. Next visit I'm going to try their cream puffs

    I love coming here to study, but it can get crowded so you have to be lucky to get a spot at times! The boba is great here, one of my favorites in the triangle. They also offer yummy donuts. It's right next to hmart too, which is great for you to do errands after :)

    Matcha cream puff

    Matcha cream puff has perfect light crispy exterior with a delectable matcha cream on the inside. Strawberry matcha latte was really tasty! Good amount of seating. Nice staff. I'll be back for sure!

    Love this place! Great parking lot with plenty of parking. Employees are super friendly and helpful. My Boba tea was served so quickly and it was delicious. I also had a Matcha, hazelnut puff pastry- it was delicious- so much flavor! The place was super clean and decorated lovely.

    Ambiance: cute, bright, clean, and semi quiet place to be at! I'd be a perfect place for chilling with friends or maybe some light work/studying to do as well! Service: was great! They really know their teas and even recommended a yummy one! It was quick service too! Only had to wait maybe 5 mins! Food: we got the sprinkle mochi donut! It had the perfect ratio of crispy and chewy! Honestly the best feel of a true mochi donut! The taste was like a glazed donut so can't go wrong there! Overall I would come here again!

    Mochi donut (ube)

    A well-reviewed bubble tea place. I ordered something called a cherry blossom but found its flavor quite inscrutable; a mix of fruits I couldn't altogether identify. I got it with some tea-flavored grass jelly and I do appreciate the intrigue of the weird jelly-like substances that are offered at these places. Sampling a single mochi donut was a bit pricey, but it delivered a nice ube flavor. I wonder if I might have been happier ordering different things, but there were certainly plenty of interesting options.

    Mari T.

    My friend introduced me to this place, and I loved it! The drinks were delicious and not overly sweet. There aren't many bubble tea spots in the NC area from what I was told. So, I'm glad we found this one to try. The cream puffs were perfect. We paired them with the drinks. It was a good balance. The service was excellent. The boba spot was spacious, which made it a great place to hang out or study. I would love to visit again whenever I'm in town!

    It's rare for a milk tea cafe to astonish me with something beyond what you can typically get from a Quickly or Kung Fu Tea, but Boba Baba was able to do that with its expertly-blended milk teas and coffee drinks, Chick Fil-A-esque customer service, and its inviting ambiance. It had been about 3 years since we last visited Boba Baba. We frequent this area by High House Rd. in Cary because of the H-Mart and always see this cafe every time we pass by but since our last visit, we never really bothered to give it another try probably because I just saw Boba Baba as another generic milk tea cafe when I tried it for the first time. I remember ordering a Strawberry Matcha Latte back then, and although I enjoyed its taste, I saw it as something I can easily find from other milk tea cafes. My teen brother Jonah has been to Boba Baba more than me and tried more kinds of milk tea here, and he once told me when we were in Brecotea (previously reviewed) that Boba Baba's brown sugar milk tea is the ultimate measure to compare other cafes' brown sugar milk tea. I wasn't really into brown sugar milk tea when he told me that, so I thought he didn't know better. It turned out, Jonah was 100% right. I just tried the Baba's Brown Sugar Boba in our visit last Saturday night. My girl got the Coffee Milk Tea. The ambiance of the cafe made us want to stay. Unlike the dreadful ambiance of Tiger Sugar in Cary (also previously reviewed) just right across this cafe, Boba Baba's open space looks more welcoming. The minimalistic aesthetic of the well-lit and clean cafe shows that Boba Baba truly cares about customer experience. However, there's one thing that annoyed me: Boba Baba's overhead menu, which also looked "minimalistic" but in an unpleasant way: The blue screens showing a list of items looked dull, with no photos of drinks - it resembled an airport's arrival/departure panel instead of what you'd expect from a classy cafe. Also, the boba cups they use are nowhere close to the high-quality cups of Milklab & Feng Cha. The barrista who took our order was Nico; he was a friendly young man who took our orders well, and explained Boba Baba's "Satisfaction Guaranteed" policy, which gives its customers the option to get a replacement drink if they were not satisfied with the first one. That's the first time I heard from a milk tea cafe, and I appreciate how Boba Baba truly cares about what the customers want. Baba's Brown Sugar is currently my #1 most recommended milk tea in the Triangle, NC, and trust me, I've tried a good amount in recent years. I recommend getting the large size, light ice, 75% sugar. The salted creme brûlée truly sets the standard for premium brown sugar milk teas. This is the 2nd time I tried creme brûlée in a brown sugar milk tea; The first time was in Feng Cha in Morrisville (Wrote a review on that too!), and although I enjoyed Feng Cha's blend, Boba Baba was surprisingly more satisfying to me probably because I could taste more of its creme brûlée whereas Feng Cha's seemed to have less of it. The perfect texture of the tapioca pearls also made the the milk tea a blast to devour. It went well with the well-balanced mix of salted creme brûlée, brown sugar, and milk tea. I could taste the sweet brown sugar flavor and the creamy creme brûlée, but it wasn't too sweet. It might be too sweet if sweetness level is set to 100%. While I was sipping the best brown sugar boba I've ever tried, my girl didn't look satisfied with her Coffee Milk Tea, and she told me she like Sharedtea's iced coffee more. I reminded her that she could get another drink as per their policy or I could but her a different drink, but she refused as we didn't want to bother the baristas who were already busy preparing to close. Instead, when were in the car, she took the little amount of creme brulee left in my depleted cup, and put it in her coffee cup, which was still 75% full. She said it tasted better after mixing that. Boba Baba may not have astonished me in my first visit 3 years ago, but the 2nd time is a charm, probably because this time, I chose what is likely the cafe's best milk tea. We haven't tried the cream puffs & mochi donuts yet, so we might try those next time we go, which will definitely be sooner than 3 years. Boba Baba is the 6th milk tea cafe that made it to my Yelp Collection of "Best Milk Tea Cafes in the Triangle NC" - bit.ly/bestmilkteaNC Overall Score: 4.6/5

The space is fairly large and they stay open late (until 11 PM on weekends), making it a great place to hang out with friends or stop by to satisfy a sweet tooth during a night out. I've purchased their macarons as gifts, tried several desserts here and to-go, grabbed coffee and stayed to do work, and even stopped by for lunch. Their light bites are quite tasty, and I especially enjoy their phyllo-dough pastries. Their latte options are great--the flavors are creative yet still approachable, and the syrup options are delicious. Service is attentive and efficient. There's always a big team behind the counter, and instead of calling names, they give you a number and bring food or drinks directly to your table, which is so thoughtful! They can get quite busy at times - lots of families and big groups stop by to hang out. I enjoy the community it brings, though sometimes this is not the most ideal place to get work done. Highly recommend Asali for anyone looking to try creative desserts, a great cup of latte!

There is a bit of everything: milk teas, slushes, bubble waffles, and noodles. I've tried the Mango Sago, Taro Milk Tea, and the Takoyaki.

The mango sago was very subtle in flavor, it would have been nice to have a stronger mango flavor..after all, it is in the name! The taro milk tea was really good and was recommended by the cashier, but the honey tapioca pearls were all stuck together and too soft rather than chewy. Then there's the takoyaki..I also found it too soft. It was more creamy in texture than others I've had. Inside was super cute with the warm lighting and casual seating. It's a great place to meet up with friends. I'll come back to try other items, but for now I think I'll wait a little longer for the kinks to be worked out, as they are still new.

Their online presence is a little lacking; the website shows a list of donut flavors but not all are listed. From the 6 flavors they had today, only two of them are on the website. They also only list 8 drinks on the menu but there are a lot more to choose from so don't be scared if the website is your reference point. When walking in, there are 3 screens: donut flavors, Korean corn dogs, and teas. I was under the impression that the drinks on the screen was all they had but you have to go to the kiosk tablet thing to see the full menu. Let's dive into the food. I love the shape of a mochi donut. It's perfect for sharing or ripping off a bite sized ball without having to take messy bites. The dough itself was nice. I think it's comparable to a Krispy kreme but chewier (not in a bad way though). I like that their flavors change weekly. My favorite was the red velvet. It had a thick glaze and was subtly chocolatey. The cinnamon roll was also nice with the cream cheese drizzle. I'm not a connoisseur of Korean corn dogs but these seemed to be good as any. They give you lots of options for dipping sauces too. No complaints here! Lastly, and perhaps the underdog, was the tea. Even if it was nasty, the packaging would have me buying it again. They seal it with a can lid so you open it like a soda. Very fun experience and something I've never seen another boba shop do. As for the actual tea, I was enticed by the mermaid. There was no description and the girl said a few things but didn't seem too sure. I got it anyway because it was pretty. It ended up tasting really good! I got it lightly sweetened and it was pretty lychee forward. I know they also add blue curaçao syrup into it. I would highly recommend it! Overall, I would recommend this place. I wasn't blown away by the food but I'm also not a huge donut person. The boba is worth trying tho!

    1 of the best milktea/coffee cafes in the Triangle…read more We've been in this area multiple times because of Mi Cancun nearby, but this is our first time trying out Sharetea. We went on a rainy Sunday, and it wasn't crowded when we went. The ambiance was inviting with comfortable & quality furnitures in an area illuminated by tiny studio-style lights while the soothing piano music helps create a relaxing atmosphere you rarely find in a milktea cafe. Tiny potted cacti on coffee tables, artificial plants by the windows, and a beautiful wall of leaves with pink roses add to the ambiance's visual appeal. There was still a Christmas tree standing with tea gift boxes below it, but the family of employees took it down before we left. The young cashier was friendly and answered our questions about our 2 orders well. I got the Taro Iced Blend with Pudding (50% sweetness level) and my girl got the Coffee Crema (50% sweetness level, less ice). No kiosks here, and I wasn't sure if reward points went through, but no major issues when ordering. At least not for our drinks. The cashier informed us that boba won't be ready for an hour, but thankfully, neither of our drinks have boba, so we didn't have to wait long. We sat on 1 of the 2 coffee-colored couches, and tasted each other's drinks. The Iced Blend Taro was perfectly blended with the pudding. As someone else suggested on Yelp, 50% sweetness level is just right, and the amount of ice, pudding, and taro is fine. Though it's on a pricier end compared to other taro drinks from other cafes ($7.75). My girl also enjoyed my drink. This is probably the 4th best Taro drink I've tasted in the Triangle area, only topped by the taro drinks of Milk Lab, Meet Fresh & Grand Asia market's fresh taro blend. I'll always rank organic taro flavors over powdered ones but Sharedtea's blend is a must-try for taro lovers. The Coffee Crema tasted like an upgraded Vietnamese iced coffee with a creamy taste, and my girl and I enjoyed it. We both agreed it's one of the best iced coffees you can find in the Triangle. It's mildly sweet with the perfect amount of cream to make its taste unbeievaby rich. Both drinks only come in 1 size but it's adequate.. Their menu offers a lot of various milk teas, pearl teas, fruit teas, fresh milk, iced blends, and they even have mojito tea. However, like and unlike many tea spots, they don't have popcorn chicken or other Taiwanese-inspired snacks here. Nonetheless, the first 2 drinks we tried and the overall positive experience we got from Sharetea's welcoming ambiance and friendly customer service made us want to return again. Perhaps we'll try other drinks but it's tough not to order either of these 2 again. Overall Score: 4.2/5
