    The Star Wars references are making my heart "palpatine"!

    Love all the unique flavor combinations! Today I got the Pistachio Milk Tea with original jellies! In the past, I have had the Hawaiian and Sunset. All of them have been delicious!! This location is much more open with more seating than their downtown place. The nature of the drink means that they use a lot of plastic...which is a bummer. I'd love to see them work on a solution. While I love these drinks, the price is steep. My 16oz drink was $4.23 and it took about 7 minutes to make. Neither of these things are deal breakers and I will be back!

    We visited Boise Boba on our road trip. I'm a bobaholic so I'm excited to try different boba place. The store has a simple design with gray colour. It doesn't have many tables or seats even though they still have lots of space. I think 2 pictures of panda and sloth are very cute and unique! I ordered classic milktea , less ice. I rate this place 3 stars because the milktea that I got did not have the tea smelling, all I tasted was sugar and sugar. Many boba places also have this problem because they make milktea from powder. A little bit disappointed because boise boba has pretty high recommendation! However, the staffs were very friendly and helpful they would say goodbye whenever you come in or step out of the store, which is I like Last but not least, they gave me a sticker of a cup of boba tea in Idaho state shape very lovely !

    This place is so cute and has a nice aesthetic. I love this place and am sure I will go there again! And so so so good boba which is like the mane part.

    A frozen Purple Velvet with mango poppers and a Golden Tea with original boba.  Yummy!

    Yum! If you have a craving for bubble tea, this is the place! They have a huge selection of flavors and you can get regular milk tea or smoothie/frozen style. They also have a wide variety of boba flavors and textures.

    I really loved the enviroment here. It was very quiet with no one else in sight when I went in at 11. The service was great the gal who helped me was friendly and knowledgable. Also I'm a sucker for cute decor and I loved the decor in here. I got the lavender boba and it was good. Comparing to my favorite place though I think the boba was a tad too sweet for me. However they have a much larger variety of drink flavors. That's overwhelming for me because I'm so indecisive but I know my kids will love it. Can't wait to bring them in!

    Yup, that's a bike rack w/the new Lime scooter in front of the shop...

    Meh- I'd definitely recommend Urban Fox over this business. The counter guy was clearly done "adulting" for the day. I tried to be gracious & tell him first time here- only seemed to annoy him more. The Bliss tea was nice, but nothing special. I had fun watching him make the drink, & watching the machine seal the cup- but then I dashed for the parking lot. I had planned to stay, but didn't feel welcomed. It's hard to separate the business product from the service with an attitude, but I'm trying, so giving it an ok- but to be clear- again I far far far recommend Urban Fox over this business.

    This place is good for the Boise and surrounding areas. I wish they had a regular Thai tea and Milk tea.. you know, the basics. I got their matcha and it could use a little more matcha flavor. Boba is soft which is always a plus.

    Pretty yummy slush and the girl was very helpful. Def going back to try other flavors.

    Doesn't taste like any of the other boba places we been to, this was just awful! They add way to much sugar, They did not know how to freshly make the drink, so disappointed! All the tapioca was stuck together, impossible to drink with a straw. And the milk was mixed so bad .... I would not buy or go back to this place..

    I would give this place a 4.5+ stars but there is no such an option. I was craving for some good Boba but had not found one till now. I saw the review on Yelp and decided to give it a try. The location is fine, no problem finding parking. The store is very clean, and the staff members were very friendly and helpful. They even offered my a small sip of milk tea sample to see if I like the taste. I ordered an original (Milk Tea with regular Boba) The Boba is AWESOME! It is perfect texture. Not too soft (as over cooked) nor too hard (either under cooked or not fresh as stored it in the fridge overnight). It missed a bit of sweetness to the Boba but it is totally fine. The milk tea was pretty good. I have had quite some different ones before in Asia and California, I think it really depends on what you like. Personally, I think it is about right. My 9 year old had a popping Boba with strawberry green tea. I asked them to have more water than tea to dilute the tea a bit. They could pretty much custom make to your flavor. It came out great! A few suggestions I would like to offer to the store: more flavors to tea and to the popping boba. Perhaps consider pudding as an option as well. Maybe add some dessert so people can sit there and enjoy some tea time. Suggestions to people who have never been there before. This is pretty authentic Asian boba place. If you have tried some good ones before, this one will not disappoint you. I highly recommend it. If you have never had boba before, you may want to find out if they can give you one or 2 boba to try. See if you like the texture. It is pretty chewy, and I know lots of American people may not like that "chewy" "sticky" kind of texture. I recommend you to try popping boba instead. People with little kids, give them popping boba if they want to try. The regular boba may become a choking hazard for kids under 3. Regular bobas are like gummy balls. My 9 year old and I love the place. We cannot wait to go back and pay a visit again. Now, I am hoping they will have one location much closer to me.

    Great place for boba! The staff is very friendly and they know their product very well. They gave us a sample of their golden tea

    Great place for boba! The staff is really friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. They even have us a sample of their tea before we decided what we wanted to order. My only complaint is that the boba was not warm when we received our drinks. It was still very good. I ordered the lavender tea. It was their golden tea with a hint of lavender. Delicious! Thank you Boise Boba!

    I saw the one on 9th and had to do a loop to get back to it. Great little store. The Bubble teas are great! I had the Pom Pom with strawberry poppers. I am so happy with my decision. I plan on coming here as often as possible and trying all of the flavors.

    We came twice this week! Everything so far is good. Love their mango smoothies w/ original boba, Pom Pom, Purple Velvet or just everything on their menu. Their boba consistency is perfect! Love their location because it's so close to our house! The owners are so nice it's makes me want to support their business even more! I wish them all the best luck! Keep up the good work!

    Where exactly is this place I spent an hour-and-a-half looking for it one time and gave up sad and Bobo less?

    It is next to the gym in the Eagle Marketplace shopping center. It is small but there.

    Golden tea I think was my favorite of the 3, has a decent tea flavor with a hint of sweetness.

I always get the Thai Tea and it is delicious, price is a bit on the higher side $7-8 for a large but I feel that's becoming the norm now. Online ordering is a bit tricky to use but I believe you pay when you pick up as there is no pay option. I took a look online and decided to order in person. My tea is always fresh and tastes delicious. Plenty of seats available and with good ambient lighting and light music.

We got a handful of drinks ordered for us and our kiddos. I usually do a fruit tea but decided to switch it up. So I went with the creme brulee matcha today. It sounded legit. I love creme brulee and I love matcha so having them both together seemed like a winning combo! My drink was decent. It honestly didn't really quite look like the advertised photo, that's what sold me as a visual eater. I was hoping for more caramelized sugar in the drink. The matcha was gritty. And it could have been a hair sweeter. The drink was good but it could have been better. I'm sure we will be back. My sister loves this place and with summer coming up, we gotta keep hydrated. I'll probably stick to my norm and grab a fruit tea the next time in.

    Boba places in Boise seem to be pretty hit or miss, but this is definitely one of the good ones!…read moreThe staff was friendly and helpful, and while it's pretty no-frills the atmosphere is cheerful and there are plenty of board games if you want to hang out while you sip your drink. One cool thing about Bubbles + Boba is that it's sort of a DIY experience. You pick your size and whether you want boba (they have two sweetness options, if you do). Then, they hand you a cup and you head over to the tea and topping bar, where you can add jelly, popping boba, and tea til your cup runneth over with boba-y goodness. When you're done, they'll seal the top for you, and you're off. It was fun! Added more delight than I would have expected it to. Plus, the tea itself was SO tasty. We'll definitely be back!

    My daughter and I wanted a drink after having the biggest bowl of pho next door. It's been a while…read moresince I have been in since they are clear across town for us. It was just us when we walked in. We were instantly greeted by the gal behind the counter. They didn't have as many options today. They usually have about 15 different options. Today there were about 10. Plenty of fruit tea, milk tea and freeze options. I will say their matcha, taro and strawberry milk teas are fire! So good. But since I can't do dairy any more, I headed for the fruit tea options. Today's choice was dragonfuit lemonade with mixed jellies. I love love love this lemonade option today! It's sweet and tart! Very tasty! I hope they keep this option around. I would drive clear across town for this lemonade, it's so good! Happy I stopped in today for this great drink.

    I can not express to you how wonderful this boba shop is! Walked in and was instantly greeted…read more There is a bright menu board with all their drink options on it. I started looking at all their drink options. They have a lot! The two gentleman that were working gave me time to look over the menu. I did have a question about one of the teas. Rocky (the owner) and Austin did answer my questions. Rocky was nice and gave me a sample of the Thai tea before I committed to 12 oounces of it. He was also kind to modify the milk for me since I can't have dairy. I did get the Thai tea modified with oat milk. Boy, it is so good! It has the right amount of sweetness to it. It's sweetened with sugar cane vs condensed milk. I don't know the taste difference yet but the sugar cane is a total win for me! I'm not gonna lie, some of the boba pearls were still kind hard but it's ok. With the service and tea I was given, it could have had rocks on the bottom and I would still be happy! I got a chance to talk and interact with Rocky and Austin. It was nice to talk to them and get to know them. I was raised in a family full of business owners and it was great to connect with Rocky on that level! Austin was also great at promoting the donut shop next door to help promote their products and business as well. It a great to see local businesses supporting other local businesses! It helps our community thrive! If you're looking for a dope ass local joint to hit up for some milk teas or fruit teas, Happy Life CBD & Bubble Tea is your spot. Rocky and Austin is fabulous and you'll leave happy with a great drink! Highly recommend!

    I'm so shocked that this place has pretty mixed reviews.. granted I didn't come for the Boba tea so…read moretheir Boba may or may not be that great but I certainly had a delicious little iced coffee with lavender and coconut flavors here plus the 25 mg CBD shot in it has me feeling like I'm on cloud 9 right now ! I just happened to drive by as I was picking up lunch at nearby Firehouse Subs and I just had to go in and give them a try. There was a really nice guy at the register who assisted me in taking my order and making my drink which came up pretty fast so I didn't spend much time browsing their various CBD products in the cases but I will definitely be back for a more in depth look at them later and for more iced coffee too ofcourse! I also really loved that they had bamboo straws as an option rather than just regular plastic straws that are terrible for the planet. I look forward to returning to their shop as well as seeing them at Boise Hempfest !!!
