This is THE place for bubble tea in College Station! Sooo many different flavors and toppings available, I was spoilt for choice. The Thai milk tea with boba and coffee jelly was simply divine. They customize sweetness level according to your taste. The wall decor inside the cafe was very cute and welcoming. Staff is friendly. read more

This cafe keeps being recommended to me here on Yelp so I decided to bite the bullet and give it a try. Parking here is a bit sketch as there are limited spaces. I ordered the lunch combo with tofu banh mi, fries and rose berry milk tea. The milk tea came out first and what I can say is you can taste the rose and the strawberry however these two flavors are not the best when combined.- my meal came out within about 10 minutes, the fries were a surprise as they have some sort of sauce on them that tastes really good. I would have ordered extra sauce if I had know about it. The sandwich was good but it does tastes different than what my taste buds are accustomed to. All in all everything was a bit on the weird side of the food aisle. Not bad but I wouldn't order it again. read more

Stopped on a Saturday evening for a little treat. We got a Pineapple Freeze and a Tai Tea with boba. The restaurant has fun decorations and the staff is nice. The drinks were good. Our only complaint was that the boba was harder than normal. Definitely worth checking out! read more

5.10.24 Since we moved close to College Station we have been searching for GOOD Banh mi sandwiches. I stopped in here, ordered a boba drink and some Banh mi sandwiches. 2 people were working when I arrived, no other customers were inside. My drink came out and I waited and waited for my sandwiches. I was wondering why the 2 workers were not making my sandwiches. I was very confused and it was taking a long time. After a 20 minute wait I found out that they do not make the sandwiches here...they make them next door. I drove home and my hubby and I ate our sandwich. The pork was not grilled. Not good. I did not like my bulgogi sandwich at all. The only part I liked was the pickled carrots. My drink was ok - the price on the menu was different than what I was charged. It was over priced for what it was. ($9 for boba drink is high to me) My husband did not like his sandwich either. So I guess the search is still on for GOOD Banh mi sandwiches. Will NOT be return to either one of these places. And the PARKING WAS HORRIBLE!!!! read more

Restaurant charged $0.50 "takeout" fee without disclosing it before ordering. When asked why I would be charged that fee since I would be eating in, I was told the owner wouldn't let the staff remove the fee and they had to put it on. Disappointed in the sneaky fees, especially since many customers are college students. Food was ok, asked for one type of banh mi and staff put order in wrong. Will not return. read more

Yum! Boba tea is soooo cool! Now I know and I will be back for sure! Workers were fun and helpful to a boba newbie. Store was clean...smelled funny but my daughter said that was the tapioca something something. Sign up for the Boba Club to grow points for a free tea. read more

Came here for the first time with my kids. We ordered the Oreo smoothie (yummy Oreo smoothie), Honeydew Milk Tea and tapioca balls (delicious), and the Signature Ice Milk Coffee with coffee jelly (delicious). They also sell food items, but we didn't order anything. The staff are fast and friendly. The parking lot is small and they have a small dining area. read more

If your drink is Burgundy, it's RON APPETEA If you don't get 2 drinks, get ONE APPETEA Because one drink is better than NONE APPETEA But whatever you do, go to BON APPETEA If you're going to the lake, try SWAN APPETEA If it's only 6am, try DAWN APPETEA And if you're Spock, you should avoid KHAN APPETEA But for sandwiches, you should come to BON APPETEA If you want a good drink, this is BOMB APPETEA If you look the other way, it's GONE APPETEA If you watch porn while you boba, you're DON JON APPETEA But if you want Banh Mi, go to BON APPETEA WHAT This is a lovely boba shop in College Station and one which we postponed until the last stop because we knew that we were going to like it. The bubble tea is well worth it, with the milk tea pretty good and the strawberries black tea was nice and worth a try too. The highlight was the sandwich, which is a traditional Vietnamese sandwich, and is excellent. For all these reasons we would say this is one of the best Boba stops in College Station. I like the drinks at a couple of the chains better, I have to admit, but in terms of locally-owned places, you won't go wrong with this spot, and if you want a top notch Viet sandwich in College Station, this would be the one I would tell you to come and try. And not to mention Barbie was looking particularly spectacular this day. They say the best things in life are free But that doesn't include Bubble Tea And when in College Station For your information You also must try this Banh Mi read more

The quality of the food and service has dropped quite a bit. I had a to-go order. The guy at the counter charged me for a macaron ($1.50) and forgot to give it to me. I was halfway home when I realized that there was no macaron in the bag. Granted, they offered a refund when I called them and told them about the issue, but still, it shows bad service. Secondly, I had ordered a large Banh-Mi (the chargrilled pork one). It was, at best, meh. I have had it here a year or 2 ago and the banh-mi had been excellent. That's the reason why I went back to this place to try it again. However, the Banh-Mi wasn't even half as good as the one I had had the first time around. It was also missing ingredients (cilantro). The matcha milk tea with boba was quite good though. Somewhat disappointed. I don't know whether I'll be back again or not. read more

All bubble tea places are good. All banh mi places are good. This is a bubble tea place that serves banh mi. Do the math. * * * That said, this is a superior bubble tea establishment. The banh mi are wonderful. They are stuffed to the gills, and everything falls out. Messy, yeah, but Samuel C. never says no to lots of Vietnamese beef. He absolutely never says no to lots of really good Vietnamese beef. * * * That said - the tea is the star here. The approach here is non-sweet. You have to ask especially for them to add sugar. I like my bubble tea sweet - so I was regretful for about 8 1/2 seconds. Until I realized that the underlying tea in my bubble tea was really good. I got the black tea with milk. The black tea itself was the really superior stuff you typically only get in Chinese tea houses or at top of the line French tea shops. (Okay - it was not a $750 a cup darjeeling. But it was a very fine strong straight China black that is better than what I get at my H.E.B.) Altogether I was one happy camper. * * * Actually I was an even happier camper because I was not altogether. I hate dying of coronavirus. Even in a deserted College Station, Nam and Bon Appetea tend to draw crowds, which adds way too much suspense to my eating. I went at 4:30 in the afternoon. I thought the place would be deserted, but people were coming in and out constantly - even at that off peak hour. BUT the outside tables were completely empty. I was able to sit watching the other customers from afar, Have the breeze blow away all the germs Take in the College Station late afternoon sunlight And eat fine Vietnamese beef and drink strong Vietnamese tea. * * * A fine way to enjoy life. A fine way to guarantee there will still be life next week. read more

I wanted to love this adorable little tea house! There were some great things going on here. Unfortunately the execution on my particular drink left something to be desired. The good here was that the location is close to campus, the employees were really friendly, and the selection was great. They were also really fast!! The less good? I am a spoiled, spoiled human and I like my Matcha a certain way. I ordered a matcha milk tea without sweetener. Matcha is a tiny bit bitter, but the milk or half and half really cuts down on that and makes for a good, crunchy sort of drink. It tastes healthy and boosts my energy. The drink they made for me was a bitter mess and didn't taste primarily of matcha. It had a really solidly unpalatable taste of super bitter floral jasmine tea mixed with matcha and then poured over ice with a little milk as an after thought. Not a great mix. I ended up throwing 90% of it away after eating the ice. Not a huge win for $9 with tip. I might some back and try something else, but the matcha fell flat. read more

Mad decent Banh Mi place lol The boba was well-made as well. The Banh Mi bread is so crispy and airy here! The bread has the perfect amount of crisp to get the crunch and chew that when you bite into it, your mouth wouldn't hurt with the pieces of hard bread. I feel like they can use a little bit more mayonnaise to counter the airy-ness of the bread. They put way too big piece of jalapenos in the bread though so check before you get hit with a fire in your mouth. I got the special and that was a good typical combo for banh mi. Super tasty and highly recommend. The menu price is for the regular size banh mi and the large size is around $2 more but not sure. I tried the regular milk tea with boba and it was creamy and milky. You can taste that they soaked the boba with honey or syrup and so that was a plus. Overall, very good banh mi and boba place in normal Asian standards and the fact that this quality exist in college station is a mega plus. read more

Ordered the strawberry green tea and pork "banh mi". Tea was fine but as a Vietnamese person, the "banh mi" was one of the worst I've ever had. The meat was overly sweet with no savory flavor, barely any filling in the sandwich, and the bread was a hoagie not a baguette - wasn't toasted/crunchy. The parking lot is a hot mess. Cars are parked two to a lane so if you're parked in the first row and someone parks behind you, good luck leaving. read more

The worst boba I have ever had. Don't go here. Staff sucks and parking is terrible. The boba I had tasted expired and funky.

I ordered the Brown sugar milk tea with tapioca. The drink was so good and came out really fast! Inside are cute tables to sit and study if needed! I was helped out by Cole, he was very kind and helpful! Great customer service :) read more

Ordered the Taro milk tea with boba and red beans, which hit the spot! The tea is very fragrant, which I like. The sweetness was perfect, they didn't put too much ice, and the boba was the right amount of chewiness. I'm glad they have red beans, which goes well with the already creaminess of taro. I would definitely come back here. read more

College Station has been hurting terribly for a good tea spot for years. Finally a place in a great location and with a nice interior exists. More importantly, this is my favorite milk tea I've tried anywhere! The tapioca is fantastic. They are super sweet here. Instead of being overly bland and soggy, they are chewy and taste like they are honey infused. My favorite is their Thai tea because they brew the tea so that it is flavorful and tastes fresh. It's the perfect balance of milkiness and tea flavor. Their menu is broad and you can customize any drink to your liking. We ordered a honeydew milk tea but as a slush and it was great. I am obsessed with the quality of the tea and order at least 3x a week. I haven't tried any food items so this review is based solely on the drinks I've tried. read more

Okay, this is not ~just~ another boba place. First off, their location near campus is totally enviable if you are a college student looking for a place to refresh, study, or hang out. Even if you're not a student (like me), it was conveniently located next to its sister store (Nam Cafe), which makes it the perfect dessert pit stop. Next, as far as the drinks go, their passion fruit green tea gave me life, especially with the perfectly sweetened boba added in. It was a wonderful post-lunch drink that was refreshing and light. Plus, it paired nicely with the delicate macaroons that are bite-sized and an instant guilty pleasure. I also really love the idea of having rotating staff-picked fusion flavors. Needless to say, they'll have a new flavor combo to try out every time I visit. Finally: power strips under every chair + free Wifi = perfect for studying read more

Best bubble tea in town. Don't bother with any other places in College Station or Bryan for bubble tea, this is it.

Swung by for a quick lunch stop and wasn't disappointed. They do take a little bit to make everything, so be prepared for a short wait. There were maybe 3 people ahead of us and we waited about 10-15 minutes for our drinks and sandwiches. Drinks are on point. They make it just like you ask and I thought they used a pretty decent mix. Prices are about average for these. For the sandwiches, they can do just about whatever you want to them. Today, they only had the regular sizes, which was the right amount for me anyway. They do put plenty of meat in there so it sort of felt like it was skimpy on veggies. Bread is fresh and it tasted just fine. And they didn't slather on the mayo/butter like some other spots do. Prices for a sandwich are a bit higher than average. Otherwise, this is a great spot to get something to go. There's not a ton of space inside but would make for a decent hangout spot if it weren't for that pesky pandemic. read more

Bon AppeTea is a new boba place in town and definitely it's worth a try. I've tried all the boba shops in college station and this, so far, is one of the best. Location wise, it's near campus and is a great place to study because they have a lot of electrical ports n fast WiFi. The only cons is that they don't have a lot of parking spots so parking would be a problem! I highly recommend y'all to try out this boba shop!

I bought a barbecue pork and a special, as well as a Black milk tea and a Thai milk tea. Price: cheap milk tea and average price of banh mi ranging 4.25-5.00! Very affordable. Building: clean, very cute and modern, excellent distance from school. Floors and tables were very clean. Staff: the staff and owner were lovely people and asked me how I liked the food, they seem to care about quality. Food: unfortunately I did not like this place very much. Their banh mi had good flavors and lots of potential but both my sandwiches were cold. Normally a pork banh mi comes on hot toasted bread, individual baguettes, sizzling (right off the grill) meat, and cold (very pickled) vegetables. I felt like there were not a lot of vegetables and my bread and meat was cold thus, not a very enjoyable sandwich. For those from Houston, this banh mi is comparable to Lee sandwiches. On a positive note I liked the pate and butter! There was lots of it, and it was a healthy portion sized sandwich. Drink: The Thai tea was okay but the black milk tea had zero milk in it, it was sweet brewed tea. I've had better boba places. Overall, I don't think I'll be coming back to this establishment unless they've improved the way they assemble and make their sandwich, not necessarily the taste because I did think the meat was tasty cold, it'd be even better if it was hot. Much luck to this restaurant! read more

New banh mi and tapioca place in college station!! The banh mi I ordered was "the special." It has pork belly, Vietnamese ham, shredded chicken, along with carrots, cucumbers, jalapeños, and cilantro. It was super delicious!! my bf ordered the lychee green tea with rainbow jelly and it was decent. It leaves a very sweet, refreshing taste in your mouth. I ordered a Thai tea with tapioca and it was terrible. Honestly, the worst Thai tea I have ever had, and I've had a lot of grThai teas. As you can see in the photo, the drink is not dark orange like it should be. Do not order this drink unless you want some watered down milk!!!!! The ambience of this place is cute and casual with the wall decor and music playing. Great place to meet up with friends and hang out or possibly study. There are outlets and WiFi. Overall, I enjoyed this new place in college station. I will definitely return to grab a bite to eat and try their other drinks. Just not the Thai tea Edit: I came back a week later to try the Thai tea again. IT WAS SO MUCH BETTER!! The owner/manager was so nice and remembered me from my yelp review. He was welcoming and made sure my drinks were made up to par. read more

I want to love my experience with Bon AppeTea like I used to... but lately it keeps missing the mark. In the past four visits they either got the order wrong, took especially long to have the food ready (30 minutes), or my food was cold. My excitement for having Bon AppeTea quickly shifts to disappointment. I keep going back hoping to have the amazing experience I once had. I hope they return to great service and delicious food again soon. BUT, my patience is running incredibly thin... read more

This place rocks!! Came by to hang out with my family when we were all there for Ring Weekend. Banh Mi was delicious - worth the price. Sauce on that is excellent and tasty as well. Can't say much about the boba but it was fine. I loved the atmosphere, cute cafe feel. Some people studying, some hanging out. All the games were new and the pieces all intact, so that's always a plus. Only thing is the service can be a bit friendlier? First time in College Station and first time checking out the cafe, so a bit more patience and suggestions would have helped - we're not locals who want a quick grab-n-go. Would definitely frequent the place if I went to A&M though. read more

Definitely come here for sandwiches, especially The Special. Their sandwiches are really good. I'm always craving for Vietnamese sandwiches, and this place is the only place in the town making me happy. The drink used to be too sweet for me, but it is on point now. My favorite list includes signature iced milk coffee, matcha milk tea, oreo milk tea, thai tea, and passion fruit green tea. The price is obviously affordable, or maybe even cheaper than some other places. I love to come here to study. For sure this is one of my favorite places in the town!!! read more

Bon AppeTea - Bubble Tea Near Me - College Station, Texas

Overall, this place kinda reminds me of Kim's Teahouse in the Houston area... I ordered the Thai Tea and got the Teriyaki chicken meatball banh mi (the delightfully bubbly cashier girl informed me the charbrioled beef not available). The Thai tea was served unshaken, a novelty which I actually quite enjoyed. But aesthetics aside, the taste was well balanced, not cloyingly sweet nor bitter but this tea was not as strong as I would have liked. The tapioca balls were great, their consistency was situated perfectly in that Goldilocks zone between waterlogged slime and jarring hardness. The banh mi was also a melange of fresh flavors and textures that are characteristic of Vietnamese cuisine. The slightly pickled carrots, crisp cucumbers, and herbacious cilantro provided a bite that complemented the savory (and somewhat sweet) meatballs. I also added a fried egg on mine to up the richness, (highly recommend that ish). Lastly the bagguette was freshly toasted, lending to a crusty exterior that is perfect for this type of sandwich. My only complaint is that it did not come with jalapenos. read more

Please go and support my favorite food place here in College Station!!! My favorite boba tea place that has a great atmosphere! I have been a regular customer of Bon Appe Tea since it's opened. Think, hip coffee shop, but boba tea drinks, soft serve ice cream, and amazing Vietnamese styled sandwiches instead! GO TO BEVERAGE: If you do not like tea, the tarp tastes like ice cream! I prefer the milk teas over fruity flavors. I go there almost on a regular basis, and it is especially great after a hard day. The honey green milk tea is what I usually get after I've had an all nighter for an exam and my head throbs from lack of sleep. After drinking this, I usually feel so much better. ***Feel free to mix beverages, they are always open to this!*** MUSIC: ***** This is a great place to study and hang out with friends. I love the music they have and I'm pretty sure the music they play is from my consistently updated Spotify playlist. GAMES and CHALK: ***** They have lots of games, like Jenga, free to use while you are there. Some of their new table tops have a chalk board cover so you can draw on them with chalk! CUSTOMER SERVICE: ***** Always will greet you with a smile! They always have the friendliest workers. Most importantly, they are very supportive and open to all cultures, ages, sexualities, and gender identities. read more

Best bahnmi sandwich in town. Always fresh and friendly. Bubble black tea is the way to go.

Its hard for me to rate a place 5/5 but I can say this will 100% be my go-to boba place. I was greeted right when I came in and the overall customer service was great! It was my first time visiting this boba shop so I asked for some suggestions and he gave me some great recommendations. They serve the typical boba drinks, AND MORE. They have a plethora of unique drinks people have made. I tried and loved the Summer Love which is similar to a Magonada, but consists of watermelon, strawberry, and lime w chamoy. I also tried my friend's drink and it was amazing as well. Tapioca is perfect and the overall aesthetic of the store is cute and unique! Lastly, the price is very reasonable as is but they also have happy hour which is even better! Go support them! read more
