    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!

    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 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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    Came here on a very specific mission: Thai pantry reconnaissance. If you cook Thai food, you…read morealready know the heartbreak of bouncing between stores looking for that one herb that makes or breaks a dish. Happy to report--this place delivers. First pass through produce and I'm already mentally planning three meals. Chinese broccoli (gai lan), Green papayas, Green mangoes, Garlic chives, Thai eggplants, culantro--stacked like they knew I was coming. And then the unexpected jackpot: baby mangoes. Not something you casually stumble upon, and definitely the kind of find. The store itself is clean, well-organized, and surprisingly easy to navigate given how deep the inventory goes. Only tiny hiccup: no Thai basil on this visit. Not a dealbreaker, but the one missing piece in an otherwise near-perfect haul. (I'll forgive it this time because... baby mangoes.)

    Review for H Mart H…read moreMart is one of my favorite Korean grocery stores--ever. I remember when they first opened locations in the Bay Area in places like San Francisco and San Jose, and I would gladly make the trek just to shop there. I've never been disappointed. The stores are always clean, organized, and full of incredible food options. What really makes H Mart special, though, is that it's more than just a grocery store--it's an experience. Inside this massive market, you'll find a bakery, authentic Korean food stalls, and restaurant-quality meals being made fresh. It's honestly amazing to walk into a grocery store and have access to food that tastes like it came straight from a restaurant kitchen. Because I travel frequently for work across the Southeast--covering a pretty large region--I'm always on the lookout for an H Mart whenever I'm near one. I've been lucky to have access to locations like Cary, North Carolina, and the one in Buford outside Atlanta, which serves a large and vibrant Asian community. Whenever I'm within a reasonable driving distance--usually within about 10 miles--I make a point to stop in and enjoy a delicious, authentic Korean meal that's made to order and very reasonably priced. I've brought friends and colleagues with me, and they've all been blown away by the food stalls. My personal go-to: * LA galbi (Korean short ribs)--if it's on the menu, I'm ordering it * All the little banchan side dishes--I absolutely love them * Fresh seafood options, including live crab and fish that can be cleaned and prepared for you * A stop at the bakery for dessert--think croissant donuts, almond pastries, or a beautiful layered crepe cake Some locations--even the ones I visited years ago on the West Coast--would steam or fry seafood for you right there, which makes dinner incredibly convenient. Another thing I appreciate is the cleanliness. This store truly rivals places like Whole Foods in terms of organization and quality, even while handling live seafood. The parking lots are typically spacious, well-maintained, and easy to navigate. I also love browsing the aisles for specialty ingredients you can't find everywhere. For example, they carry my favorite laksa noodles, which remind me of a Malaysian dish I fell in love with while visiting a friend in Mauritius. It's always fun to discover unique items like that. The staff--both in the grocery store and at the food stalls--are friendly and helpful, which makes the whole experience even better. Bottom line: If you're anywhere near Cary, North Carolina--or even the Buford, Georgia area--do yourself a favor and make a beeline to H Mart. As a lifelong foodie, I truly believe: Life is too short not to eat well.
