I love this place. It's almost dangerous for my wallet to have nearby! Great interior with lots of seating, nice staff, and great boba. The latte with messy boba is my go-to (25% sweet is plenty). So good read more

Ordered during lunch hours for the office and went to pick it up in person. We were given an estimated time to pickup and even though we arrived 5-10 min later, we still had to wait an additional 10 min in store (that's fine considering there were other people ordering). Everything was put into one plastic bag - 1 egg waffles, 3 popcorn chicken and 1 drink. The egg waffles were okay, not crispy enough in my opinion. The popcorn chicken was supposed to be the main food item but the chicken in all three boxes were really hard and tough to chew. I managed through them but my coworkers were not happy with it, especially when it's the main entree for lunch. read more

Ordered a chocolate puff with mochi filling. The mochi was sour and it smelled like dirty socks. Also ordered two milk teas: one with messy boba (brown sugar) and one with honey boba. They taste the same: bland. read more

Bubble Puff & Tea - Mochi filling - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

This place definitely deserves five stars. The bubble waffle was made very similar to the way it should be in the traditional HK style; crispy and crunchy on outside, slightly sweet, airy and soft on the inside. You really need that texture contrast for it to be legit. The milk tea and boba was pretty on point, definitely better than most places in Old Town Pasadena. If ya going to the nearby Community College, don't miss out on this place!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Really fresh and traditional Taiwanese tea! I got the peach oolong tea and it was amazing. The tea tasted perfectly brewed while having a lot of flavor. We got their matcha Mochi bubble puff and it was pretty interesting and unique. Chewy inside with mochi and crispy on the outside. Would highly recommend this place! read more

Yummy! I've driven by this place many times. I finally stopped in. You order via the pad so make sure you have credit card. First visit I ordered egg waffle with mochi. The waffle is made when you order so it is hot off the grill. It is a cool food in that each egg shaped waffle piece falls off and yum. The mochi made for a nice chew. The second time, I went with banana and peanut butter. Another yum. I think I want to try peanut butter and mochi next. I did also order a tea, sorry, I don't remember which one. I get without sugar and got nice bitterness from it. read more

After going to other Boba/snack places. I feel these guys deserve a 5 star. I've visited about 3 times prior and the service has always been friendly. I do dislike ordering through the tablet. The staff have always been helpful and friendly when answering my questions. Tip. Bubble puff with peanut butter and banana is game changer read more

come here all the time after class to get the matcha wave (soo delicious) when i first went, i got the strawberry tornado, then i tried their mango tango, then chocolate cloud, their matcha latte, and their strawberry meets uji which is so yummy i love to get it ! not only do i get a drink, but i also like to get their french fries and popcorn chicken (mild). the sauce they provide for the popcorn chicken is actually the cherry on top ! it pairs amazingly! the only and i mean ONLY con i have, is that their portion size for "to go" and "dine in" are very different. when i dine in, the serving is perfect and i get a good portion for price. but when i order to go, the portion lowers even though its the same price. wish the portion for to go and dine in were similar big portion. other than that, the place is great to stop by! the employees are very nice and never had a negative experience! they have free wifi and a bathroom, perfect place to chill with your friends or alone. below are some photos i've taken from some of my visits ! read more

A small shop that's a step above the rest, literally. Once you cross the glass door you have to step up into the shop. Specializing in the triple threat combo most of us love. Egg waffles, bubble tea or boba if you will and fresh fruit with brewed teas. I had to go for the one of a kinds so I ordered their adventure avocado, banana PB smoothie and the durian tapioca. Since I'm so lost when it comes to choosing sugar levels I just asked them to hook it up with the way it's recommended and of course it was everything I expected. So thank you to the employee minding the sugar shop and producing salivating satisfaction to my tastebuds. But they're more than just delicious drinks. They also offer a multitude of goodies like sandwiches, ice cream and midnight munchies during the day. The shop is like a little nook and the parking is available on the street and in and around the neighborhood. I recommend getting the specialties before trying anything else. And that's my take on it, Peace out. read more

Bubble Puff & Tea is small boba tea shop on Pasadena by Colorado blvd near PCC. Interior atmosphere was chill and welcoming. Drink and food items are somewhat limited. I ordered their chocolate bubble egg waffle with mochi filling and avocado smoothie w/ boba. They are really good. The egg waffle was fresh, soft, puffy and warm. Devoured it in a matter of minutes. Similarly, the avocado smoothie (with boba) was cold and fresh. Their boba pearl was chewy, soft, fresh and warm. Prices were fair and competitive. Free a WiFi available. Staff was nice and competent. She's wearing mask and they have hand sanitizer per health protocol. Street parking only. Overall, I enjoyed my egg waffle with mochi and avocado smoothie. Highly recommend this cute boba tea shop. read more

Bubble Puff & Tea - I named him Bobby - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Food is decently priced and very delicious. There was a bit of a wait (maybe 10 minutes at most) for the times that I went there, but there was only one person working so I'll give them a break. The teas are fantastic and the cups that hold them are really intuitive. The chicken and the bubble waffles were crispy and absolutely fantastic. Definitely a good place for any college student looking to get a quick drink or snack. Also a really good date spot if you're looking for one on-the-fly. read more

I really enjoyed the drinks that I purchased today, although I do feel that they were overpriced. Besides for that, my only negative feedback is that there was only one employee working at the time and she was quite overwhelmed with the number of orders that she was managing by herself and that also caused my drinks to take quite a while to make. read more

Came here for the first time to try their egg waffles. Ordered the egg waffles with Nutella and vanilla ice cream, egg waffles with banana, mochi and matcha ice cream, popcorn chicken, watermelon drink, rose milk tea, taro Oreo drink and the Taiwan alpine milk tea. Not only was everything delicious... Connie made the experience absolutely perfect. She provided exceptional customer service. She apologized for the wait, I told her I was going to have our food to go at PCC so my little kids had space to run around and she graciously packed the ice cream in a separate container knowing I had to carry a big order across the street. As we were devouring order, nearly finished with our egg waffle, I realized I was missing my popcorn chicken. I was ready to call and ask if they can hold it until we were finished but a minute later, Connie shows up at PCC with our forgotten popcorn chicken. She apologized but talk about going above and beyond.... Coming to PCC to look for us. She is definitely a keeper! I would most definitely return thanks to Connie and her exceptional service and of course, the delicious grub! read more

Second time coming to Bubble Puff. The drinks are great and the food is yummy. The wait times are extended. It took about 30 min to get my order although it wasn't that packed. I think it's mainly because of pick-up or delivery services. Got the puff with cheese. It was delicious and held up even an hour later when I ate the other half. The popcorn chicken comes with a sweet chili sauce and the sweet potato fries have powdered sugar sprinkled on top. Which I wasn't a fan of but it wasn't a heavy sprinkle so I made do. If you're planning on coming by, make sure to allow time for the wait. Street parking is available. read more

This location has a self service kiosk which is great if you want extra time to look at the menu. The barristas were really sweet and even clarified the ingredients. Food is 10/10 and made to order. Drinks were also amazing! There was a hand sanitizer bottle at every table. Also very well priced. I'll be return read more

Workers rudely talk about customers in their own language and have a general crappy attitude about everything. Also, turn on your AC when it's over 85* inside or shut down and go away. Edit: What a sad sob story you poor pathetic victim. Cry me a river. Also, there were no misunderstandings whatsoever you patronizing utter fool. You suck! read more

They serve authentic Hong Kong waffle aka bubble waffle with a twist! It reminds of those made in Korea which is sweeter. $5 a waffle is not bad at all, with 3 choices original, green tea or chocolate. The milk & egg aroma is do strong, I could smell it when I got out of my car. I paired it with Matcha Snow cap & mango sunset. I love the color. Please order online so the store owner can time better and deliver hot waffle and icy drinks. Plus we need to respect social distancing. I saw many people just walk in, which delay my order when I arrived. read more

They have a lot of tables/booths and it's a nice place to study or hang out. There are a few outlets if you need them, and free wifi. The bubble waffles are fresh, and delicious. I really like the drinks the best though, all of their fresh teas are good and the coconut coffee is my favorite. The fried tofu is also a go-to snack. Service is also great, the staff is helpful and friendly. The facilities are clean, and they have a lot of menu options (sweet and savory). It's a pretty versatile and chill cafe. read more

This is my GO-TO boba shop!! I haven't had a single drink I didn't love. Their bubble puffs are seriously the best. I've gone so much that they are starting to recognize me. I probably come here once a week...which isn't great for my sugar intake but good thing I can "control" it by choosing my sugar level! Here's my pros and cons: Pros- - drinks and food items are delicious - fairly priced! - really well made boba - lots of choices! Cons- - parking is slightly difficult if you have a large car - they're a bit slow (the wait is WORTH it though.) - out of boba at times when we've gone (golden boba is a good substitute) Recommendations: - Blueberry Kick - Mango Sunset - Hokkaido Milk Tea - Orange Green tea - Original Bubble puff with Nutella and banana read more

Food and Drink: The boba tea are amazing. The bubble waffles are great! There's a lot of toppings to choose from and ice cream to top it off. Definitely coming back. Service: the lady who worked there on Wednesday 11/18 was very helpful and attentive. The shop itself is clean. They have a website that you can order ahead and pick it up is less hassle. They also have a touch screen that you can order your items. It's very convenient. read more

I'm a huge fan of bubble puff. It's a chill atmosphere and the employees are kind. I like the avocado smoothie with crystal boba.

Yummy mango green tea! Wish they had more vegan options like soy milk for the other drinks. Go to the big screen and order for faster service. Otherwise, it's cash at the counter read more

pretty nice tea place - have not tried their puffs but my wife is in love with the mango tapioca here. The parking sucks as you have to park in the smallest lot and its only self serve paying machine so the line gets kind of long during rush hour - would definitely recommend another machine or more staff read more

Don't be fooled by this tiny shops exterior. This small shop packs quite an amazing plethora of food/snack/tea to choose from. So far we've visited this place 2Xs and both times everything we've gotten has been so good. We've tried the og & matcha egg waffle (with banana, or Mochi or boba ), popcorn chicken (mild cuz we can't handle spicy , and oolong peach tea, Hokkaido milk tea passionfuit green tea. Their drinks are all the perfect level of sweetness (I usually get 25% for those that like things less sweet & more tea forward). The only bad thing is that there's no parking lot so just street parking & that they're closed on Sundays. One more tip, it seems like both times we came there's only 2 girls working so if there's a lot of people or phone orders you can end up waiting a little bit, but to us it's definitely worth it. Can't wait to come back & try more of their menu. read more

Bubble Puff & Tea - Oolong peach tea & original egg waffle with banana - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

The main reason I'm giving this place such a low rating and I hate to do it because it's a cute spot and the tea is good is that their boba for stay in is in single use plastic. I will never understand why so many boba places insist on using single use plastic when they don't have to. Efficiency aside, it's 2024 and having so much waste for 1 drink is shocking. The cups are thick plastic, which sure you can take home, but how many more tumblers do we all need? read more

New location, new drinks, same quality! Really love this coconut coffee! They use real coffee beans to make fresh coffee! So tasty! Can't wait to try other new drinks and snacks! read more

Great study place! Cute, clean!!, quiet. Wifi + outlets available. After AU76 closed down I needed a nice place good for studying. They have typical boba offerings. I'm not huge into boba but I like plain milk tea a lot. They also have the typical food fare in boba places. I would say their claim-to-fame is their "Bubble Puff." Delicious batter (you can choose from original, mochi, matcha) and tons of fillings to choose from. It's a small hole in the wall place across from the Carl's Jr. But it's location allows so much sunlight to come in! It's so nice. Cafe fits about 18-20 people inside (2 people per table). Music is nice. Not too loud or distracting. It's almost the opposite of TeaSpot further down. So if that place isn't quite the one for you, try this place. Did I mention I it's clean? For fans of Durian: they have it here. As tapioca, as a filling in bubble puff and as a smoothie! Give this place a try. Just don't take my study spot! Jk read more
