I have high expectations for boba (esp coming from CA). This is the only place in Portland that I get my boba from. Their fresh milk series is ALWAYS on point. When I ask for a specific sweetness, it's 99.9% nailed, even ice adjustment. Other favorite drinks are: strawberry matcha, black sesame, and taro. It's quite out of the way, but honestly I don't mind. I also wish they didn't charge such a high fee for delivery ($8.99).... In terms of parking, it's street parking but that doesn't seem to be a problem every time I go here. Inside is not spacious, but not tight either. They have such a cute wall of Polaroid of cats from customers I guess, but it's a nice touch to the store. read more

Cat themed?! boba cafe near PSU. Order at the kiosk. Has always been decent. I tried their matcha sakura drink on my last visit which was interesting. not a common menu item. read more

I ordered LYCHEE JELLY and NO popping boba in the tea -- they go ahead and do ADD popping boba but no lychee jelly. I don't like popping boba in general, that's why I specified. I don't understand why the opposite is done???! I noticed it after I headed out and away from the place and tasted it. ‍ UPDATE: they were kind to notice the review and give a refund!! They do care... thank you Bobacat. read more

Bobacat Tea House - You can see the order is clear. See the popping boba on the bottom, but no lychee lol - Bubble Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Tried the blackberry fresh milk... well, I tried the blueberry fresh milk when I ordered the blackberry fresh milk to go. It was medium sweet, not cereal milk sweet. The blueberry flavor was on the lighter side. I could taste it, but not strongly. It was cold and refreshing, but not something I craved ordering again. I added boba as I love bobacat boba with a soft chewy texture and caramel flavor. The bits of blueberry skin at the bottom confirmed I was given blueberry, not blackberry which doesn't have skin. I would try another fresh milk flavor to see if another hooks me more. It is a nice caffeine free option. read more

The whole concept of this place is too cute, I am a cat lover- the aesthetics were extremely plan and boring but I get the idea. The drink I order was just as bland as the decors. Zero effort put in, tasteless. I know it does not take no 15 minutes to find change for a $20 in a busy establishment sis read more

love this place with my whole heart. the staff is always friendly, drinks are always delicious, and the cats are always adorable

I come here often with my friends and am always surprised by how good their drinks are. their teas are always super fragrant and strong. I've tries both the jasmine and oolong which were both very nice. the drinks can be very sweet so I always get 50% sweetness which still leans a little sweet but not bad. 5.49 is also a great price for the quality that you get and that is hard to find nowadays as boba is getting pretty pricey. even with toppings, which is an extra dollar, it's still very comparable to other boba shops! read more

Some of the best tea we've ever had. This spot is amazing. It's a cozy tea house that offers delicious tea. This store is very clean and menu offers a variety of drink selections. The staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this spot for milk tea. There is only street parking so be prepared for that. read more

Bobacat Tea House - Outside - Bubble Tea Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Love their adorable cat-centric decor! The drinks?... Not so much. Both our milk teas tasted watered down and underwhelming. If I had browsed their kitchen first, I wouldn't have ordered anything. Towards the back are dispensers for 3 tea bases. To the left is a wall of flavored syrups - yikes. I was hoping for quality, authentic flavors. Drinks didn't take long to make, but a sour odor lingered in the shop, making it unpleasant to wait or hang out. We gave up after a few sips and immediately left for another milk tea shop. read more

Best boba I've tried In Portland! I'm a flavored fruit tea kinda gal and their teas are fragrant while delivering on flavor. I always get mine at 0% sweet or 50% sweet depending on my mood and both are good! My absolute favorite part the keeps me coming back and sets them apart from other boba places is the texture and taste of their boba. It's legit perfect. Bouncy, chewy and sweet. I haven't seen many reviews talk about the quality of the boba and it really is the best. Great price too. Usually only spend $14 when I go for both me and my husband. My husband is a coffee guy and loves their choco latte option. read more

I got the Sakura matcha with lychee jelly! Super good and I love when places have Sakura as a flavor. Only thing was I wish I could choose 75% sweet as an option. read more

One of the best boba places I've tried in downtown Portland! First, I absolutely love the ambience and decor of the place! If you can't tell by the title and logo, it is cat themed! It's a very cozy place to sit at and enjoy a drink and they have cute Polaroids of cats on the wall! It does get kind of crowded weekends since it's right next to PSU though. Drink wise, I think their drinks are amazing for the price! I visit here often and my go to drink is the Mango Tea with Black Tea and boba (~$5.75)! Very worth it as I've been to many boba places that are $6+! Their boba quality is superb, very tasty, the perfect texture! Btw, I haven't had this happen to me but multiple friends have told me that they do sometimes run out of boba! (Usually when it's closer to closing time!) which is a bit disappointing! So I would recommend checking them out earlier in the day! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, it fell short on several fronts. I ordered my drink at 50% sweetness, expecting a balanced flavor, but it still came out overwhelmingly sweet--more like a juice or syrup than tea. It was hard to actually taste any of the tea itself, which defeats the purpose of going to a tea shop. On top of that, the barista tried to give a rundown of the tea types and brewing methods, but it quickly became clear they didn't really know what they were talking about. It felt more like a performance than actual knowledge, which is disappointing if you're someone who genuinely enjoys and appreciates tea. Overall, this place feels more like a trendy sugar-drink stop than a spot for real tea enthusiasts. If you're looking for depth of flavor or authentic tea experience, this probably isn't it. read more

Bobacat Tea House caught my attention with their cute name. Yes, I like cats! After enjoying my first order of 7 drinks from them, I knew I'd found a new favorite place for tea! I love jasmine green tea and oolong tea. Here at Bobacat you can add your choice of several flavors to these teas such as rose, lychee and peach. The flavor of the tea is very good. It tastes like quality tea. My friend enjoys their milk teas, especially the strawberry milk tea and matcha milk tea. There is inside seating and service is quick and pleasant. Bobacat Tea House is located near PSU downtown and is close to a streetcar stop. Highly recommend! read more

Located near PSU, this coffee shop is a gem in Downtown Portland. After eating at a nearby Thai spot, my friend recommended this boba shop so we headed here for a dessert. The inside of the boba shop is cozy, nicely decorated, with some seats. The staff here were super helpful in giving recommendations for a drink. This boba shop has your traditional milk teas, but also some other fun ones I've never seen before, such as: blackberry fresh milk, Assam milk tea, and seasonal drinks. The toppings are limited, but they are also good. Overall, I think this is a pretty cool spot and I would come back if I were in the area. read more

Went for the first time and the inside is very clean and cute, I liked the cat pictures on the walls and the updated modern feel as well. The service was fast but I was disappointed that when I asked for the topping they would recommend for this drink they didn't really give me any suggestions. I ended up doing the sakura matcha with no topping and it was delicious. I think regular boba would have been good in it! I plan on returning and trying some more items read more

So disappointed with the order recently from Bobacat. My husband picked up the online order so he wasn't sure what went wrong until he got home. The order i got was nothing like what I've ordered and what's in the photo or drink description. I've ordered from this shop numerous times and always the same drink too; and it has been the go to milktea shop in Portland for me for quite some time. They never got the order wrong and I've always done the online ordering as well. I am not sure if they have changed owner recently or training new staff but it's so sad i have to let go of this shop. read more

this is definitely a worthwhile boba spot! I got the Jasmine milk tea and my husband got the passion fruit white peach oolong tea (both default sweetness) and both were great! the PFWPO tasted like a tea gummy bear in the best way, but with some depth, and not tooth-rottingly sweet. mine was a milder sweetness and with a delicious aftertaste of Jasmine. we were tempted to head back for a second round lol read more

If the cute art outside doesn't entice you to come it to get the boba I will say they have polaroids of the staff and their cats lining the walls and they are the cutest! I popped in and out pretty quickly so I didn't enjoy the space much but the boba was chewy and the classic milk tea was the right amount of sweetness for me. I'd come back to check out their other flavors for this boba shop near campus. read more

Can't believe it's been a week without boba. So, I had to get my boba fix. Saw this place called Bobacat. It's owned by the Tai restaurant upstairs called Somtum. Ordered the bobacat milk tea boba. The tea was very good, and the fresh boba was still warm, soft, and chewy. They flame melted the cream cheese on top. If you want great tasting milk tea with fresh boba, you should checkout bobacat. read more

Curiosity got us walking in, welcomed by the most obtrusive stock wall of boxes is their design, pillars & lobby area that look mid-construction. Expecting a cute cat parlor but nothing relating to the name or logo. Honey Citron Ginger $5.25 ~ asked for little ice was filled half ice; are you kitten me?! Orange slices look nice for pics but were not muddled, ginger faint in flavor. A grab and go spot between classes, not a study lounge for the students. read more

I rarely drop by the Portland area but remember seeing my friend trying out their drinks here so I decided to give it a try! Environment: inside was very small and very low ceiling. Watch your step as you open the door. I think the exterior is a lot prettier and cuter as there were lots of cats. The inside had a few seats but the music was a bit loud as I had trouble hearing the register asking me questions. Staff: nothing outstanding. Just said my number when I ordered and when it was done. Drink: I got their oolong milk tea, 50% sweet for $4.99. Price was reasonable and a super cute cup! Their oolong flavor was very different than other oolong milk teas I've had. It's hard to explain but it was very refreshing, light, and not too sweet! I enjoyed it and hope to try their other flavors when I drop by that area again! read more

Pretty disappointed with Bobacat. I was excited because of the cute packaging and interior design of the place.... However the boba quality is subpar. I got the bobacat milk tea 0% sugar. The boba pretty much disintegrates in your mouth and it's not chewy at all, which, to me, means it was overcooked or sitting there for a while. The milk tea doesn't taste like milk or tea. It felt very watered down. Cheese foam is probably the best part; it does not have a very strong flavor which matches the not-very-strong-flavored drink. I expected better quality from Bobacat's signature drink, even if there's no sugar. No sugar should emphasize the bitterness of tea, but it did not. 2 stars for fast service, standard (not too expensive) prices, and 0% sugar really tasting like 0% sugar. There are no ice or size adjustments. There is a lot of street parking nearby with standard Portland prices. I would not recommend this place. read more

Really good boba! I was impressed with the quality of the boba itself- super chewy and soft. I ordered the regular milk tea, 50% sweet because apparently that's the lowest they go.

Small boba shop near the PSU campus. There's some seating, but the shop itself is a bit dark, and I personally wouldn't come here to study/work. We grabbed our bobas to-go. There's a wall of cat polaroids which I thought was a nice touch, but not much of a "cat cafe" if that's what you were expecting. Got the Assam Black Milk Tea with coffee jelly for $5.25, didn't change the sweetness or ice levels. Tea flavor was okay and not too strong, but would have liked more. Coffee jelly was fine. There was a lot more ice than I would have liked, so definitely request less ice if that's what you want. My friend got their blackberry fresh milk with boba - I tried it and it's definitely interesting, and the boba was made fresh so it was still warm and chewy. Overall, it's an okay boba shop if you're craving boba and in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to try it again. read more

Bobacat has been my number one go to Boba spot. It's also a favorite among my friends as well. I've been going there since it opened up at the PSU campus. The interior is nicely decorating with Polaroids, lights and other decorative pieces. It's like a little hole in the wall. I got there an hour before it was closing, it was a little busy but got more busier after I ordered. It took 10 mins after I ordered to get my drinks. I ordered the Jasmine milk tea and the Bobacat milk tea with brown sugar both had some sweetness adjustment (50%). I like their tapioca pearls are made very well and have a good texture and consistency to it. I make sweetness adjustment just cause I like my milk teas not too sweet (that's just a preference). My favorite milk tea at Bobacat would have to be the jasmine milk tea. read more

So, after the first time I came I was going to give it a 5/5 but then the second time wasn't as great. It's a cute cafe with some seating indoors and a cat- theme. It's fairly popular at certain times being close to PSU but they have relatively fast service. I got a passion fruit tea which tasted great but I could change the ice. Toppings were extra. My friend got an oolong milk tea with bubbles, which were super fresh! But then we returned. I got another fruit tea with cream cheese foam... it came with like 1mm of foam for $0.75. I was very unimpressed. read more
