This is my second attempt at buying Boba Tea here. The first time they were slammed. This time, although it was still busy, I was willing to wait for a Boba drink named after my favorite Marvel character, Iron Man. It is a combo of strawberry, peach, and pineapple. They also had my old favorite, Almond Joy (chocolate, coconut, and almond). The drinks named after the comic characters and other pop culture icons do make the boat more fun. If you stay to enjoy your drink, there are board games to enjoy with friends. The service is okay, but they are fast. Overall, a cool place to hang with good music if you're into alternative. read more

Bobalicious - Boba tea and Jenga make a great combo! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I've been here multiple times and I love it! I usually just get my drink to go but I've seen people inside on laptops and meeting up. I think they may have free wifi. Quality of the boba is pretty good and all of the available flavors are crazy. I like the tropic thunda or an avocado. Only thing I can think to criticize would be an upgrade in decor, the couches seem a little old and I don't really want to sit on them unless I had to. Would've given 5 stars if there were fresh fruits or faster drink service, there is only one person making several drinks pretty much every time I go. read more

My tea almost took 30 minutes. That is pathetic. And i still dont have it. Then he had to make more boba. Smh. Even if it taste good, i will not return. Wait time alone is discouraging. If i had not paid with my credit card, i would have gotten my money back and walked out. read more

Bobalicious - They need to have 2 people here. Not 1! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This is my absolute favorite boba place in San Antonio! The variety of drinks is incredible! I always order the White Choco Mocha, which is White Chocolate and Coffee..... IT IS AMAZING! I wouldn't want to go anywhere else in San Antonio, definitely would recommend for a study place as well! read more

Bobalicious - White Choco Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I like the drinks but they always seem short staffed when we go in. It normally take about 30 minutes to get our drinks so I suggest either bringing someone to talk to or a good book! read more

Service isn't the best, I think they need more help considering how busy they are. I wait about 25 minutes every time I go and always see only one employee working. Drinks are good though read more

Be honest, if you're from another state or city that's been doing the boba thing then u know what it tastes like. this place is ok. i like it. i'm not in love with it but there's also not another boba place besides Austin hwy which is on the OTHER side of town for me and even that's still ok. I love the gellies and they're pretty nice people behind the counter, they served me and my son a drink even though we came in 10 minutes before they were closing. I'd come back and enjoy another boba from them just for the good customer service alone. Last time I went they served pizza, i really wish i could tell the owner to get on board with Eggettes (hong kong style waffle eggs) & man that would be the BEST snack ever. read more

I had ordered a basic watermelon slush with boba, he charged me, and it was all good. I get my order and it's bubblegum? and i told the cashier this wasn't mine, but he kept insisting it was. i let it be and told him it was fine, and even though i said it was fine, he just kept attacking. listen, if i say it's fine, let it be, don't attack the customer for letting an accident that you made slide. i ended up throwing away the drink because i am not a fan of bubblegum. i get it, having to deal with people and drinks gets hard, but at least listen to someone's order, and if you get it wrong, and notice that it's wrong, fix it. lesson learned, try other boba places. read more

The guy I ordered with was extremely rude that I showed up with a big order, even though we were willing to wait 20 minutes for the order to be complete. Despite this, he continued to have a hostile and toxic attitude towards me and my friend for doing business with him. In total I spent about 50 bucks here, when I came back to get a receipt he got increasingly rude and seemed fed up at my reasonable request. For these issues I will not be coming back. The drinks were excellent, but the service is not worth it. read more

This place is really something, I actually think its the only place in San Antonio where you can get boba...but i might be wrong. who cares! its so darn good they dont need another one. yes, it might be a whole in the wall. But its very lax, the owner is as sweet as pie .. this place has internet connection, a bunch of local artists' art, games, couches. i just love it. PLUS! they're avocado boba is soooooo good! read more

Powdered drinks but tasty. This place has a lot of potential but still looks incomplete. They have a decent selection of drinks and the board games are a nice touch. Anyhoo, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah read more

4 stars for their uniqueness in flavors for boba. My ultimate favorite is the San Antonian.. Ingredients may gross you out but it'll be a guarantee that you'll fall in love with this drink. Yes, this place looks extremely run down and definitely needs more effort in maybe a clean up, redecorating... hell, a complete makeover. Does it take away from the delicious boba? No. The experience? Likely. I take my boba to go and deeply enjoy on my ride home. No biggie. read more

Bobalicious - The San Antonian with extra boba. You can't go wrong. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

If you're a fan of fresh fruit boba drinks then you wouldn't be too happy here. There's really not a lot of places here in San Antonio that can satisfy your boba craving but this, is one of the decent ones. Great customer service and they can always make your drink just how you want it. I always get their chocolate/banana combo and I'm always happy with it everytime I order it. I love how there's so many different varieties. You can choose from a list of different flavors, boba or jellies, slushy or on the rocks, and creamy or fruity. The other places don't offer that many options. Their tapioca is rather chewy which is how I prefer. The place lacks lighting, descent couch/lounge chairs, and decorations. I always find myself wanting to leave as soon as I get my order since it always feels so gloomy. read more

I have visited the Philippines several time where these drinks are mega-popular. I have to say my favorite drink flavor is the Taro flavor but the one at Bobalicious is good but not great. If I have a craving every once and a while then we will go to Bobalicious but it not good enough to make it a weekly affair. Though it is good to know that when you have a craving for tapioca ball drinks you can get your fix. And the atmosphere is always pretty cool. There is a Filipino restaurant in the same shopping center with some nice owners but my wife's cooking is better. read more

I loved the bubble tea I got from here, it tasted great, and I loved the plastic sealed lid they put on my drink! Such a great idea. I'm glad its close to Goodwill because I go there alot so its a very convineint place to get some bubble tea :D The interior is kind of depressing but whatever, drinks are good. read more

Always a pleasure coming here and enjoying a drink. Chill atmosphere. Could use some darker tint for when the sun is going down! Comfy couches!!!! Donate your games! read more

Love this place been coming here for 4yrs now love the drink needs to restock on games most the ones they have already like connect four missing a few pieces n with the unsure couch is weather clean or not, eehhhh what the hell I still sit in it again when I come back soon... read more

2 stars for the staff, who are great and friendly. 2 stars for the drinks, which are wonderful. Brilliant boba tea. -1 star for the shop, dirty, and horribly designed/decorated. I would give it three stars, but I keep coming back for the drinks. Too good. read more

Stumbled in here by accident. We weren't really looking for Boba. This was a yummy little surprise.

I should have known from the moment i walked in and saw a hipster at the counter that the Boba drink was likely not going to be an authentic one. It lacked flavor and tasted artificial and fake. It taste and looks more like a 7/11 slushy. Being from hipster capital of the world Williamsburg Brooklyn i can appreciate when hipsters put a twist on cultural dishes and beverages but this time it just fell really short. read more

I called my order in like I always do and get there to find that my order has not even been started. The guy (who I find out is the owner) says oh I was waiting for you to get here. Did I ask you to wait? I'm at work I get a fifteen minute break. No thanks to the "Owner" I was late clocking back in to work. Then the strawberry avocado boba tea was runny and taste at all like it usually does. His employees do a better job making his drinks and filling orders in a timely manner. Let your employees do your job they are better at it! read more

Loved this place at the old location. Now it seems pretty efficient with the recent location. Cool games to play while you wait. Can't go wrong with a San Antonian. The king is my personal favorite, lots of different flavored drinks, and always extra Boba. read more

Come here due to the close proximity to heroes and fantasies. I like their drinks, I just have to be in the mood for something sweet. The blue almond is my favorite. The owner( I think) and the other guy that works there usually are really cool. They are friendly and get our drinks out fast. HOWEVER, they hired this new girl, and TWICE she has forgotten to make a drink for my friend, but still charges for it, and instead of refusing to admit her mistake she says "well I write everything down." My friend was charged for two, but she totally only wrote down one drink! If you I on a day where there's a tournament at heroes and fantasies, be prepared for a LONG wait. I understand, and only go if I have time, but when I went last time this same girl was the one working and was just kind of meandering behind the counter even though the blenders were done and ready to be poured, she just walked around back there. I dread going when this new girl is working... -.- read more

This place is so good if you want some really experimental bubble teas it's seriously good! And the workers and really cool

My husband and I love visiting this spot. The guy behind the counter, Wes, is so great. His informed opinion combined with their extensive menu made it easy to find a drink to enjoy. If you dont like the dingy furniture you can do what we do and grab your drink on your way out the door to visit the bookstore next door. If youre more into comic books and fandoms then theres another good spot to hang out around the corner. Good drinks and great employees. Thats all I need. read more

I was at the door at 1200 when they were supposed to be open and they didnt open till 1210. Just felt it was inconvenient especially when i have class and just wanted my boba. read more

A friend of mine shoved this smoothie drink at me one day and said, "try this." (I'll try anything my bff says is good), but as the cup and straw neared my face I caught sight of some big round balls bobbing around in the bottom of the drink. "Ummmm....you gunna tell me what theeeese things are?," eyeballing the mystery balls. "It's a boba smoothie! and those are tapioca balls," she ranted..."just try it!" I hesitantly took a sip and up came a boba ball...the smoothe sweet taste of strawberrys, so creamy, danced on my tongue...and was immediately accompanied by a soft "boba ball," which I chewed quickly...(my eyes were like dinner plates! haha) The experience was so magical for me!!! I wanted more....I wanted to finish her drink off. "What in the world have I been missing!?" I thought to myself. I was hooked. I have been back every day since then. I now mix avocado in with any fruit...it's what gives the drink its dreamy, creamy, little kid at Christmas feeling to me. Ha! The owner is very patient and willing to explain any questions, in detail, you might have. I had plenty, since this was my first boba drink experience. I love it and have no reason to go elsewhere. It's nom ore pricey than Starbucks...and personally, these boba drinks give me this weird sence of inspiration...cool me down...refresh me...often motivate me to do something random....fresh. read more

I really do love this place. I always go here with friends and family and everyone who works there makes you feel welcomed. The location isn't bad, it is also next to a comic book store and a book store so it's a plus if you want to stop by there! The art they have is cool and support local artist. They have different varieties of all kinds of flavor for bobateas and even have almond milk (some places don't have that). They also recently added a long table for customers who want to study and be on their laptops. Games are provided, some pieces of course are missing but majority of the games I really don't complain. The only downfall is that if you're in a hurry to get boba and it's packed, most likely you're going to be waiting there FOREVER. Other than that it is a cool place to hang out and kill time (: read more

Tried the regular milk tea and it was the worst I've had, It was basically just milk and sugar. The skinny cowboy was pretty good but way too sweet. This place is more expensive than other boba places and the guy didn't ask what size we wanted, he just gave us different sizes. The inside was a bit depressing and the guy making the drinks seemed annoyed. A better option for boba is tea time read more

I used to LOVE coming here but I've found better spots. This place is kind of pricey for the quality. I could make these drinks at home. You'll be here for a bit if it's busy and they only have one person working . It's not worth the wait. Check out Suck It on Babcock and the second location on Callaghan. The YumiBerry on De Zavala. read more

Ummm. If Bobalicous has a lower rating than Bubble Tea Express, then people in this city obviously don't know good tapioca drinks. Based on my one experience here, this place is the bomb. The flavors are interesting and yummy and the tapioca balls were impeccable (something I've had trouble finding in SA). The staff is super nice. They messed up my drink order but apologized right away and made me a new drink AND gave me the one they messed up. Score! Oh, and they have different milk options for your drink -- 2%, fat free, and soy. The downsides are that it takes them a LONG to make a drink, the area is shady (signs in the parking lot telling you to not leave valuables in sight in your car), and it's hella expensive. Yeah, the soy milk I added boosted up the price over $5, but I miss that good $4 and under tapioca from H-town. All in all, it's the most decent tapioca joint close to my place and I'll venture here if I don't feel like going all the way to Bubblehead. read more

ok. Boablicious is freaking amazing. I'm a long time fan of the place and am almost always there when I have free time. It's a great place to hang out with friends, play games, use your laptop, sleep, whatever you want to do. The interior could use a little work as far as being a super-chill-worthy place, but the owner and employees already know this. The two main employees (excludes the owner) are friends of mine because they are awesome people; they are also super helpful to anyone new to the shop and, contrary to what a previous crap review said, they WILL allow any combination you want. If you try to do something they know wont taste good, like bubblegum and cherry which tastes like Tylenol, they'll let you know, but if you want it, you'll get it. read more

This place is obviously not a boba "it" spot, but it does its job by having cold drinks with boba! I found that there is a huge regular population because this place has anime showings where you can hangout with friends while sipping on your drink and as well make new friends. Overall, if you need a quick boba fix or want to hangout at a very chill place, this is a decent spot! read more

is it just me or does this place not exist anymore? everyone's been telling me about it but i can't seem to find it. i finally found the spot where i think it WAS but there's nothing there. and according to the photos on their website, i'm pretty sure that was the right place (the yellow and blue checkered tile was what gave it away) so if it has relocated, i'd like to know where. otherwise, i'm 99.9% sure this place no longer exists read more

I am disappointed with this place, I had a little high hope after seeing them on San Antonio Living. So my friend and I decided to give it a visit, we both were disappointed. The cup was cheap, the lid doesn't closed very well, tapioca balls ( boba) was alright, but the tea didn't taste like tea. It did not satisfy our cravings for boba drinks at all. The decor and atmosphere was sad as well. read more

Why you should believe me: I grew up in a majority Asian community/city here in LA. Tea/boba shops are like Starbucks, they are everywhere! You learn what is good and what is junk. I am moving to Texas, and I just need my boba teas! I have them at least every other day. The good: -The boba was good, given the look of the place and my low expectations. Chewy, mainly soft, but could be a bit softer. They cooked it in sweetened water, so they got that part right. -Good customer Service The bad: - Ordered a green tea, no sugar, with boba. Although my order was correct, sadly (very sadly) the tea was extremely watered down. At first sip it immediately tasted like soap. I don't mean that maybe they got soap in it (possible, I suppose), but the flavor was bad. The ugly: - Dirty floor, tables, old couches, and overall hole in the wall place. A lot of space to sit, but it was so empty, I don't ever see them getting that much business to fill the space... - Dirty/stained/watery counter tops and machinery. Is that where you are going to prepare my drink? That I will ingest? Okay. Everything just looked old :\ Don't think they had a cash register with product info, my order was just written down on a pad of paper along with a mess of other writings. But maybe that's how they like to do it, who am I to judge, especially if they get my order right? Also, we used to have a Bobalicious nearby, which was high-end teas. They just borrowed the name. You can guess my face when I saw this place... I won't be returning :( Off I go on my search for a great boba place. read more

love this place and the San Antonian (strawberries and avocado). the old location was horrible since they had literally 4 parking spots in front and you would have to park in the shopping center. so i was glad when they relocated right next to nine lives books. They have a variety of ingredients so you can make your own specialized drink or just order from their dry erase board of good and true combos. the owner is really nice and helpful the place is pretty spacious and i love the fact you can play board games albeit some pieces of the chess board are missing. read more

They've moved locations to another shopping center off of 410, not quite sure where. Boba was decent but service was always so slow!

Great place to go and hang out for a while or bring your laptop for the free wifi and get some work done. They have an old Donkey Kong machine, which really takes me back. I recommend the Taro flavor if you get one. read more

Well... first off kinda hard to find this place... second, not that great at all. Definitely nothing to write home about. I normally love getting any drink with strawberry, banana, and pineapple... that part of the drink was fine... the boba pearls...? ACK! Where do I begin??? They had a VERY funky aftertaste and they were really tough... I'm sorry, but that's just NOT COOL. lol Otherwise the guy that was there making drinks was nice, but I regretted the $2 tip I left in the jar when I walked out the door and got a boba pearl...! Take my advice and head to Tong's Thai on Austin Hwy. for some awesome bubble teas! read more
