    1/13/25 FYI. Exterior, entrance
    Lee D.

    Quality/Quantity - The Chai Horchata sample was the best my daughter has ever had. But it would probably be too sweet for an authentic Horchata drinker. She and our guest also really liked the drink they got. Atmosphere - Cool decor, see pictures. I think I am missing quite a few pictures, sorry. Even the tables are painted. Open 7 days a week from noon to 9pm or 10pm. Plenty of mall parking. Service - Good, counter service. Price - $14. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since mid 2022.

    3.5/5 Decent bubble tea and food. It's nothing out of the ordinary but it's convenient since it's in Tempe Marketplace. Many drinks here are not customizable for sweetness and the pho combo has some limitations on what drink you can order with it. I ended up with the beef and meatball pho combo with the tropical lime drink. You can order either at the kiosk or at the counter. Since it was our first time and I had a few questions about the menu we ordered at the counter. When we were here they seemed shortstaffed which led to some long lines at the counter. The pho was alright. It was a good sized amount of broth with rice noodles, scallions, two meatball halves and some slices of beef. Fresh Thai basil and other accountrements were offered to the side. The tropical lime was tangy and refreshing. The sweetness level is fixed for this drink but it wasn't too sweet for me. I liked the bits of fruit in the drink too. Since it was our first time we had a few questions about the different drinks and what was included in some of the combos. The cashier was good at answering our questions.

    Super cute place! Selfie station too, but you'll have to wait at least 10 minutes to get a drink. There were only a handful of people in the store and there were three workers we saw, not sure what was taking so long ( maybe they were restocking?) one customer walked out, guess she decided she didn't want to wait? They have food and nice tables to sit at - we got a brown sugar boba. I noticed there was some rewards club, but the employee taking our order didn't mention anything and I didn't ask. After waiting 10 minutes or longer, we got the drink - The boba was served in a cute cup, but BOYYYYYY WAS IT SAWWWWEEET!!! Wowza! Sugar!!! And the boba were so little and tasted like they'd been in their liquid for quite some time! Very small and easily disintegrated. Nice to try something new, but we'll try the yogurt shop next store, next time.

    Quick and friendly service. Good options to offer, should have gotten the spicy but I was sharing so I had to keep it sweet. I'll be back

    This place is fun! Lots of bright, colorful decor and seating. I ordered the pumpkin latte milk tea with boba and asked for 50% sweet. When I tried it, I was surprised at how sweet it still was, and even asked to make sure they had actually done 50% (they said they did). I also ordered the mega combo which came with fries, 3 egg rolls and 3 fish cakes. The food did take close to 20+ minutes to prepare, but everything was hot and fresh with spicy mayo drizzled on top. I didn't really care for the fries, but the other items were tasty.

    Oh gross! This place is infested with bugs! Took my friend from out of town here and we sat by the table by the boba workers. We saw a small cockroach crawl by. Looked around and looked into the kitchen and there was so many dead bugs and little bugs crawling around. Disgusting! One of the workers I think saw us looking and he started sweeping. Sweeping up the bugs and such. Definitely gross and definitely would never come back. Beware. There is a nasty roach bug infestation here!!!! I would be afraid to eat the food here.

    Unfortunately, I don't recommend getting the grass jelly topping here. The kind they use isn't soft enough to sip through the straw, so it ends up getting left for the end. Service was just okay - got my order wrong and had to redo it. Waited 10min for 2 egg rolls. On the upside, their jasmine milk tea is really yummy, and they had fun flavor options and snacks to try.

    I was very careful to order my Boba tea. I wanted a clear jasmine tea with brown sugar, Boba and a cream top and I made sure to say this like five different ways, but I still ended up with the jasmine milk tea. He was not listening to me and he wrote it down wrong. Now I did not ask him to remake it and I did not let management know but The next time I will make sure it's even more clear and I will show him a picture. My son's drink was very good but very sweet. Otherwise, service was great.

    Some drinks.

    Iris T., you make me feel boba-ly! When a Yelper from Honolulu is paying your state a visit, you gotta get boba! I was really torn between choosing a tried-and-true place or a new place where we can experience it together. The new place won. I ordered a peach oolong tea at 50% sweetness, and while a little too sweet for my taste, it wasn't bad. Boba Toko is a great place to grab a drink while shopping at Tempe Marketplace. I don't think I would go out of my way to visit this boba spot, but I wouldn't hesitate to grab a drink if I was waiting for a table at Gen or something.

    I tried out their taro milk tea. The taste was quite bland and lacking any meaningful flavor. I will say that their cups are of high quality. I just wish they would put that effort into their actual tea.

    Super excited to try out this boba place in Tempe! Super cute spot, the atmosphere was up beat and service was good! We ordered a free different drinks: Taro milk tea By the bay Strawberry milk Pink dream. I got the Taro and was honestly disappointed, the taste was not great extremely sweet and left a bad after taste, and the boba balls were super small! But all the other drinks were enjoyable and delicious! The fruit in the " by the bay" was great the watermelon chunks still had the nice crunch and sweetness to them! We liked that alot!!

I had their regular cold brew with a splash of cream and a Sunrise Sandwich- both were so good! The cold brew had a lovely aftertaste that in my opinion, reminded me of dark chocolate and whiskey. Service was also fantastic- the lovely barista was thorough in her explanations of each cold coffee option to help me find what I was looking for! My sandwich was also lovely- the Sunrise Sandwich on an Everything Bagel is easily my favorite breakfast sandwich in Tempe. The Basil Pesto adds a bit of freshness to an otherwise very rich sandwich. Also stopped in a few more times on my evening walks for a Lavender Haze (seasonal earl grey sage honey drink: EXCELLENT!) and their seasonal energy drink- it was a Sunset Spritz (energy with grapefruit pink cordial): both delicious. Happy to say service has improved greatly. Employees are on task and happy to answer my questions. The drinks on the seasonal menu are very good, and their classics are also great. If you're going to go soon, I'm a big fan of the Sage honey and a big fan of the cordial syrup on the 2026 Spring Menu. Will definitely be hitting Infusion up for some future study sessions. Glad to see Infusion takes customer feedback seriously.

Nomad Boba is a cozy Vietnamese inspired boba shop with cute honeycomb and bee style decor. There is seating inside on some couches. I would say it's best served for smaller groups of 2-3 people if they're not busy. The owner has always been pleasant, and it's usually just him running the shop, so you may have to wait a tiny bit to place your order if he's making drinks. Nomad Boba definitely leans on the sweeter side for boba shops. I'm typically a 25% sugar level kind of boba drinker, but I have consistently found Nomad Boba way too sweet for me even at 25% sugar level. I'm also not the biggest fan of their matcha blends. For drinks, I would highly recommend their Thai teas. They offer different blends of Thai teas! It's up there for one of the better Thai teas I've had in Arizona so far. What's interesting is that their Thai tea is a little smoky. I love it for that intrigue. Nomad Boba is a little difficult to find in the Culdesac if you're not looking for it. You have to walk toward street side to find it. They offer some fun drinks that other boba shops don't, so it's definitely worth checking out at least once.

Parking is available in the lot or along Apache street. Nomad Boba is a tiny shop but the inside is cute and has some loungy couches to wait for your drinks. The menu at Nomad was more unique than most boba places I've frequented with some interesting combinations. That led me to the blueberry matcha latte. The flavor combination was fantastic and very well balanced. The boba itself was a nice texture and it was FRESH. Everyone in my party really enjoyed their drinks. I will be back for sure.

I got their spanner matcha which was described to be salted maple flavoring. I'm not sure if it was the matcha or the maple but it had a weird aftertaste that I can seem to describe it other than an expired taste. Because the employee gave me a warning before I would go back and try something else in hopes of a better experience.
