I'd give this place a solid 3.5 stars--round up to 4 stars for nice customer service. Living in NC, there really isn't an abundant amount of boba places to venture to, but it seems like this place is highly recommended by college students and local boba enthusiasts. Being so used to many boba options back in CA, it kind of makes it feel weird to struggle to find a boba place nearby. The location is pretty convenient for college kids or adults to chill with friends. Lots of tables and even a shelf with some board games you could play if you had an hour or two to pass in the area. I can't remember the name of the drink, but I remember it having butterfly pea and lemon... or yuzu. Drink is aesthetically pleasing, but I'm not sure if I tasted what the drink mentioned. Still, nice attempt at being trendy with the boba menu. Maybe they're known for their milk teas here? It was quite busy when we can on a Saturday evening before closing. :) Drinks took around 10 ish minutes to make, but staff were quick to take orders and make drinks. If I remember correctly, there were two people working that day-- least in the front!

Strawberry mochi donut

I am shocked I have not yet written a review for Boba Baba, when I go all the time! I am a huge fan of their strawberry matcha, and more recently, of their butterfly fresca! Both drinks are delicious, and bonus points for also offering lactose-free/plant milk! But be warned, they do not offer the plant milk for certain drinks, since some are pre-mixed. Definitely ask before ordering! I would also highly recommend the puff pastries and mochi donuts! I had to search through my photos to find my favs: the ube puff pastry & the strawberry mochi donut. The puff pastry is a large portion, and heavier, so you can definitely share. The mochi donut is nice and light, so these are better to get more than one flavor to try.

Mango Pomelo Sago

This is such a nice, modern-looking Boba spot that my friends and I enjoyed lounging at for nearly three hours before we realized it had been that long. I needed a non-caffeinated option which I was so happy they offered, and it was a flavor I never tried. They had plenty to choose from, but this particular one sparked my interest the most. It didn't disappoint. I also think it's hard to go wrong with mango anything so there's that too. But service is always pleasant, vibes are chill, and definitely cafe-ish. I'm going to try their pastries next time I visit. One of my friends had the strawberry matcha which I've tried in the past and loved!

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.

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
Sneha P.

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
Jason P.

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!

Strawberry Matcha boba and a Chocolate Hazelnut cream puff
Marie S.

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.

Sprinkle mochi donut and Peach Matcha Boba
Rosie N.

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)
John B.

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.

Feng Cha - Four Seasons Spring Milk Tea with Boba

Feng Cha is an excellent, tea forward boba tea shop. I am a big tea snob and need to taste the tea…read moreflavor over all the sugar and toppings and Feng Cha really delivers. They're one of the few places Ive been to that offers lactaid as a milk option and I truly believe lactaid is the best milk for milk teas, so I absolutely love this option. The staff is very pleasant and kind, however they weren't very knowledgeable about tea. When I asked what type of black tea they used, all 3 employees were perplexed and said "it just says black." Upon tasting it, I could tell it was Ceylon, which is one of my favorites, but I do think the employees should work on being a bit more educated on their products. The store itself was setup really great for a group of a few friends and sit and chat while they drink their tea, however the chairs and tables were definitely "used", if you will. Not falling apart but a bit grubby. Overall, the tea quality is so good and the atmosphere good enough that Ill keep going back.

Tried Feng Cha's new Ube Matcha latte for the first time, which cost around $8 with the boba at 75%…read moresugar level, and I was slightly dissatisfied. First, here are the positives: + Combination of ube and matcha give the drink a Dubai chocolate-like taste. + Fast and more friendly (compared to a few times before customer service. + Relaxing atmosphere with bright and welcoming decorations. And here's a major negative: - For an $8+ drink (including boba), the size just does not justify it. Base price without boba is around $7 but wish they included a free topping already. Compare that to Bobo Baba - which has similar price range - you just get more bang for your buck there. Would I order this again? 50% sure just to let my wife and her mother taste it for content. But me? I might stick to Feng Cha's brown sugar and mango drinks, which were more satisfying.

Before you know it, you're thinking about what to eat or take home, and you were just there for coffee. Yikes! First off, all the pastries are made right at Asali. From what I understand, nothing is made outside the café. My favorite breakfast is their egg and cheese croissant. It's always just the right temperature. So good, you might even use your fingers to pick up and eat all the flakes that fall off. The staff is super friendly and even answers any questions you have about how they make their drinks. Speaking of drinks, you can pretty much get anything you want. Regular coffee, pour-over, all sorts of lattes--hot or cold. This is one of the reasons why I return time after time. The staff's ability to be creative and add some wow factor to your drink. Asali might just be the best cafe in the entire Raleigh area.

They have so many pastries to choose from, ranging from macarons to cakes. They also have a small brunch menu. The service was fine and the items came out quickly. I got the Hazelnut Cheesecake Mousse and Breakfast Croissant. The Hazelnut Cheesecake Mousse had a stick blue fondant above it, which I think was mostly used for decor. I did not like it a lot so we took it off and it made the cake taste a lot better. There were not super strong hints of the cheesecake flavor, but it tasted fine. I wish the Breakfast Croissant had a type of meat in it, but it was still good. The croissant was very buttery and large. I would probably rate this spot a 3.5/5 stars if I could. The food I got did not impress me too much, but I would love to give them another shot and try their other pastries.

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. It was enough to satisfy my craving, but each time there was something missing. 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.

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
