I've gone here for a long time and I love BOBA! This review isn't about the fact that they haven't had any boba's the last few times I've been in. I totally get that. Some stuff is just hard to come by these days. However, when I was there I saw this kid with bleached hair drop a cup in the ground. It bounced around in the floor where the employees were waking. Then he picks it back up and puts it with the clean cups. Yuck. This girl stacked it back in with the rest of the cups. Seriously dude? If you drop something on the ground it can't be served. I mean I know that happens all the time from my days working in restaurants, but it's gross to see first hand. Another time I'm there this girl pulls her mask down and wipes snot off her nose and then proceeds to make a drink. I just walked out without my drink. Get it together guys. That being said you get three stars for being open during covid. read more

I have been coming here for YEARS and it's absolutely top favorites LOCAL businesses in ABQ. I was shocked it was local because they're so well put together. Whoever does their art is incredible! And every drink is so bomb, highly rec the secret menu online. Also, if you're going to order something, I prefer the blended drinks. Staff is overall pretty chill when I come in; they're not overly nice would definitely not rude. There's other stores in the city, but I do think going to this one is the best because I can always find parking. read more

Boba Tea Company - Snow bunny with boba! Favorite drink for the last few years. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I used to always enjoy the drinks from this place (years ago). I had been craving their chai boba recently so went to order multiple drinks for me and family members. To make things short, VERY disappointed!!! Drinks were watered down despite not having very much ice in them. Honestly the chai tasted like dirty water. Not sure how they changed their menu so much despite being the same drinks! Sadly will not return. Employees were nice- reason for two stars. read more

This whole experience at this location was horrible. You have to order on the screen even though the people working weren't busy. After we order and pay for our 6 drinks on the screen she tells us they don't have boba or Thai tea. Then she proceeds to only make 5 of 6 of our drinks. After confusion on the order, she continues to gaslight us into thinking that we only ordered 5 drinks. We were forced to re-order and pay for the last drink. I found my online receipt and showed her I paid for 6 drinks. She still proceeded to fight us for a refund. Would not go back or recommend to anyone. The slushy taro wasn't even that good. read more

If your from Southern CA which is peppered with several tea place, your expectations is a little bit high, they don't have the usual west coast favorites like Hokkaido or Okinawa teas, hence I ask what's the equivalent of Hokkaido, the sweet young lady said the closest one will be Jazzy, so jazzy it is. Taste was decent and nice balance of milk and sweetness, tea a little bit off, high marks on boba it was chewy, sign of freshly made pearl. Ambiance is attractive, clean. Service was friendly, efficient and super fast. I'll return if I'm in ABQ again. read more

This place is great! Service is fast and friendly. There are tons of drinks to choose from. Make sure you check out their secret menu for some interesting variations. I love walking in Nob Hill and stopping here for a cold drink, especially with the kids. When we have Summerfest, this is a must stop on a hot day. read more

Boba Tea Company - Really Nice atmosphere. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Boba Tea Company is our local bubble tea chain and it has been a favorite of mine since my college days! I just adore it! Now if only someone could invent 0 carb boba but that's another wish! Haha! Boba Tea does everything from smoothie like drinks to regular hot and cold tea! They have regular, traditional boba as well as flavored popping boba and gummies. The flavors are always perfect! Their Thai tea is simply heaven! I loved the smoothie type drinks in college but when I graduated, I decided the Thai tea made it look like I was more "mature." Haha! Really, it was just delicious and I loved it! I seriously recommend it! And the staff at each location are super nice! read more

it's a decent boba place. Nothing extraordinarry. I wish they had egg/custard pudding add ons too. very limited flavors but i don't mind that as much.

Tea is average and the staff are unfriendly. What place sells you something to drink but won't let you use their bathroom. It's inhumane and unneeded. read more

Honestly, if you want good, authentic boba, go to Hi Boba or Starry Moon. This place uses powders to make their milk teas which are not good. I've thrown up from here just because the drinks are too sweet and artificial. The prices are also insane, which is standard for boba, but if you want to spend that much, go spend it on good boba tea! I love that this place is local, but I can't continue to stand by it while there are other local boba tea shops that simply out-stage it. read more

This was the only boba place near me while I was in Albuquerque so even though I don't love tea I wanted to still come and try it. I personally did not love this place but I know many people will. I don't love tea and because all of the drinks have tea in them it made it harder for me to chose one that I thought I would like. The one I got had black tea in it with boba. I didn't love the drink and I couldn't finish it but that was because the tea flavor was to strong for me. The actual boba is delicious soft and chewy which I loved. I know people that like or love tea would love this place because you can really taste the flavor of the tea. The place it's self was really nice it looked pretty modern and nice the inside was clean and the service was amazing. read more

Totally rude!!!! I was in line but completely ignored. They have two checkout areas it too confusing. I kept waiting for somebody to help me. But that never happened. read more

Sent my kids in with their friends to order some drinks. Expected to pay about 70 bucks for the drinks but they would not let one of them use the restroom there so canceled the order. Staff told us they wouldn't let them because of illicit drug use. Well it's great to see how the staff and corporate view their client base. read more

This is my first time getting boba tea in Albuquerque, so I don't know how it compares to other places, but I loved Boba Tea Company! It was reasonably priced for boba tea. The have lots of options and their menu is organized super well so it's easy to find what you want. I made a substitution for my drink and there was no upcharge. When I got there the line was out the door, but the two employees worked quickly and it didn't take very long for me to get my drink. Somebody ahead of me got her drink, left, and had to come back because her drink was leaking. The employees helped her out. They were super nice. There were plenty of tables to sit at and the area was clean. Restrooms were also clean. read more

In these times of covid, their restrictions are greatly followed by everyone. The drink was amazing and would definitely recommend! read more

Boba Tea Company - Mango Tango - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Of all the boba tea spots here in ABQ, you could definitely do better! This is a good location hence it's by the UNM area, but I would rather drive the extra mile to a different boba spot than to stop by here. They have a good menu, simplistic, good variety of drink types/flavors/toppings -- but the quality, to me, isn't cutting it. Everything is all powder based & you can clearly taste it too. If you want good boba tea, I would recommend going elsewhere & not here. read more

Everytime I'm in town this is my must stop... drinks are always delicious and generally speaking service is always pleasant. However, on this particular night... grow the F#%* UP! I don't appreciate unsolicited attitude from a minimum wage college hipster with an identity disorder. Time to take my money elsewhere... Thank god flying star is across the street... read more

Glad to see I'm not the only one who noticed the terrible customer service here. These young girls hired here act like we're bothering their conversations. From sighing to apathetically doing their work. These girls have 0 hustle and should find somewhere else where they can learn hard work. And the drinks are half decent compared to the Bay Area too. Truly a terrible experience everytime. Go to Kawaii Boba instead. True Asian style boba with nice people!! read more

This is one of the best things New Mexico has going for it. I've tired several Boba/Bubble tea places from across the states and the Boba Tea Company is one of the best out there! Not to mention all the different drinks to choose from, no other place I've been to has this many choices/variety.They definitely need to expand this company to more states. read more

A great way to get some tea! It is like I am in heaven! The service is very good. The workers are very friendly and fast. The ambiance is mostly quiet, not many people which makes it very peaceful. read more

I love Boba Tea and generally have a good experience at their shops. However, this was my first and last visit to this particular location. Out of the three employees that were standing around, none were friendly. I ordered two "smooch" (large) size frozen Purple Haze drinks, which is the only thing we ever order, and to my surprise it came out to more than I've ever been charged for the same two drinks. I didn't mention it to the cashier but in reviewing my very unclear receipt its appeared I was charged for "extras" even though I didn't ask for anything more than the drinks. Also, this is the least amount of boba I've ever gotten in a drink. Other locations are usually generous with the Boba. I wouldn't recommend this location, unless you want to deal with unpleasant employees while being over charged. Next time I'll take a longer drive to a different location.... read more

$14 for 2 small drinks!? Their prices were already high but within a week their prices went up $1 ($6 for a SMALL) this is just a waste of money especially the quality I got a smoothie but within 3 minutes it's turned liquified and discolored (was light pink) read more

Boba Tea Company - Blush - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The store name out sideshows as Nunu Yummies. Variety of different types of bubble tea. -Velvet Tea Menu: most traditional bubble tea - milk, nondairy creamer, coconut creamer, or half and half are mixed with tea and tapioca pearls. -Flirt Tea Menu: smoothie and blended fruit with tapioca pearls or other add ons, like flavored "gobi poppers". They come in different flavors. Product: Kimono bubble tea under their Velvet Tea menu. The tea itself wasn't anything spectacular. I've definitely had better bubble tea elsewhere. It just felt watery and although I'm vegan I do like my bubble tea on the thicker side or more so with a bolder flavor. Customer Service: Excellent! I was immediately acknowledged and asked for my order. I shared it was my first time and needed a moment. Afterward I asked for recommendations in which the barista inquired about the flavors I liked to better suggest a beverage. Overall: the customer service was great however the bubble tea does not leave me craving more. I wouldn't recommend. read more

My Taro, they call it Tara for some reason, was lackluster. I asked for both boba and lychee, I only got the latter. I wasn't even given the option of iced, it was blended and provided no spoons for those who have blended drinks. The menu is very on the surface, this establishment needs a cultural advisor. The least they can provide is military discount. This place needs work, a lot of it. read more

Boba Tea Company - Ordering in progress... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

In my opinion, this place has yet to fail me each visit I've had for boba. I tried that Bobalicitea place and i was sorely let down when they said they ran out of boba and it would be another 30 mins before they were ready. Does no one keep an eye on their supply??? I feel like a good, small business would try to keep on top of that better. Well anyway, Boba Tea Co is awesome because their selections are more extensive and they offer the healthier choices for sweetening agents such as blue agave. And they know the right amount to put every time to make it taste perfect. It tastes way better than Bobalicitea too. The only problem i have tho is how jam packed the ice is in their drinks. When i think i have a lot of milk tea, i realize after just a few sips that i dont and my drink is halfway done already. I'll try to tell them easy on the ice next time and hopefully they dont try to charge extra for that. They shouldn't be gyping drinks of less actual milk tea if they sell it for that 20oz anyway. read more

I have been a huge boba tea fan for years and I am glad this location is close to where I live. I am a bit of a purist when it comes to boba tea so I have not tried some of their more ~unique~ concoctions, but they have a solid black milk tea, and a decent green tea (I order both unsweetened). These two aren't listed on the menus, but they can make drinks anyway you like. The boba is a bit too soft sometimes, but still yummy and fun to slurp up. You can also add flavored jelly or popping boba. They have a gimmicky approach to drink names and sizes, so it can be a bit overwhelming for first-timers. The staff didn't correct me when I ordered a "medium" instead of a "kiss" size, which I appreciated. They have several tables if you want to sit and slurp with friends or family, but it does get crowded so plan accordingly. Prices are generally fair, but vary depending on how decadent (read: sugary) you want your drink to be. Will be back when my next craving for boba strikes! read more

I'm not an veteran boba tea traveler by any means, BUT- as far as teas go, I am very impressed with them using loose leaf teas, because that makes the difference in how much FLAVOR the tea has. It blows away anything I make at home, even loose leaf. I've had them twice and the bobas were consistent in firmness each time. I like the variety of choices available with sweeteners (sugar, honey, blue agave,) the wide selection of flavorings to add, that they heat seal the top of the cup, which makes for fantastic portability (not that I've had to test it yet,) and the prices are monstrously easy on my wallet. I've haven't done a toe-to-toe comparison with other boba tea joints, but on its own merit, I've very satisfied with what they have to offer. The next time I'm back in town, I'm there. (My only negative was that they did not list anywhere that the green tea the serve is jasmine green tea.) read more

This is the only boba shop I've been to in this town.. Other wise they're all in California. And I must say, they are really on point with the boba (: Great service and they really fulfill your request. I asked them if they can slush up the Thai tea boba drink. Usually it's on iced.. They actually did it for me. Some places wouldn't. But thanks guys!! read more

Boba Tea Company - King Kona with boba!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Boba in Albuquerque??!? Possibly the least of what I expected. It is an innovative modern hangout place, with a stellar menu that even native Asian boba drinker will be intrigued and have to take time to investigate. Maybe I want to get the Nudi -tea on Tuesday for just $1, or may be "Blondie" for the mango and blended ice... what more? Many more. Do you know what is nunu or gobi? POssibly the single boba place with the best loyalty cards, the bestest graphs that you can ask for and definitely graphics you want to keep This place will cite any good reason to give you a discount: $1 nudi tea Tuesday, straight A students may free points to spend, then birthday free drink, student discount! Oh wow read more

YUCK! DO NOT GET THEIR YOGURT FILLED BOBA BALLS!! Nunnis? I don't know what they're called. It's disgusting. Also, I do NOT recommend the thai tea. It does NOT taste like your normal thai tea that you would get at authentic thai restaurants. Absolutely not appealing to my taste buds. read more

Horrible customer service they gave me a drink with no flavor basically just ice and didn't want to help resolve the issue or anything would never recommend horrible horrible read more

They are being very safe only allowing 2-3 customers in at a time. Everyone was so friendly there and the drink for me and my dad was delicious as always. Love you Boba read more

My friend and I both went into Boba tea last night. The two ladies there were extremely rude as if they were mad that we showed up. Three other people came in a few minutes behind us. They appeared to be treated poorly also. The ladies were slamming things as they were making the drinks, which ended up showing in the quality of how our drinks were made. Our drinks were not that chilled and tasted almost luke warm. I hadn't had boba tea in a really long time and was craving one and ended up disappointed with both the service and quality of the drinks. Could have been the time of day I went. Maybe any there time the experience will be different. read more

I personally I like Boba. My bf, and I are hooked on the Eskimos. But for some reason these employees don't care enough to do their job. Every time I go it's a hit or miss. Especially with this location, or the Coronado center location. The only location who hasn't messed up our order is the Cottonwood location. At the Nob Hill, and Coronado location, the employees just stand around, and rather talk. Then when you ask them to correct the order they messed up because of them not trying to pay attention to the order. They get all salty, and have the worst attitude. God forbid they actually go to work, and do their job. read more

First time I've ever tried Boba Tea and definitely my last! I popped into Boba on Nob Hill to try their Mai Thai without the Boba. Is it supposed to be pure sugar? My throat is actually raw from how disgustingly sweet my tea was. I was maybe able to drink 1/10th of my drink due to the amount of sugar in it. Don't get me wrong... I know Thai tea is typically pretty sweet. This was on a whole new level of sugar content. I think I'll skip Boba the next time I'm looking for a refreshing tea drink. read more

I find this place to be a once awhile treat as it is very pricey for getting a boba tea but it is very tasty with lots of unique flavors and a lot of options. You can also add cream or a cream substitute, blend it, make it bubbly, add bottoms. Basically you can customize it anyway you want to and they will gladly alter it for you. It's a fun beverage that also has some healthy benefits. They have so many options I get something different each time. If I let myself I would be addicted to these teas! Like I said though I personally try to keep it for a treat when it's a really hot day or I'm really in the mood. read more
