Bubble Tea Café was open on Fourth of July, thankfully, so we stopped by for boba after lunch. The interior is your typical 2000s coffee shop vibe with a few tables and chairs to sit in. I got the black milk tea with pearls (30% sugar and no ice). The pearls are smaller than what I'm used to and had a nice, bouncy texture. I don't think they were soaked in sugar or honey because they didn't have any flavor. 30% sugar was surprisingly not too sweet and I think I could have benefited from 50% sugar here. The cups that our drinks came in were super cute. Overall, we enjoyed our time here!
Thus is a cute little family business that has a variety of boba tea options as well as other snacks and treats you can enjoy alone or with the boba tea. The owner is really sweet, it doesn't take super long for your order to arrive because it's usually not overpacked, and the tea portion size is very generous. Love stopping by here when I'm in the area.
Delighted to stop into Bubble Tea Cafe, we don't love the overly sweet chain stores, so this was a pleasant surprise. Very good bubble tea - not too sweet, super chewy boba, tastes like it's supposed to, nice lady! We'll be back!
I went here at noon as I was out running some errands. We picked up some boba on our way back home. This place was a small store and had many different options. The sizes they have are huge and they give a lot of boba. I got taro milk tea and it was good. The honeydew milk tea was okay but way too sweet for my liking. Taro tasted like regular tea and not that much sugar which was good. The lady serving the drink was nice.
Surprised this place is never busy. It's been a good minute since we've had bubble tea here. However, they're the only bubble tea place who has honeydew milk tea! No lines and they're very quick to make our order. Definitely have to start going back here often!
Great tasting Smoothie and Milkshake every time. I always get the large size 32 oz. Excellent value for the amount you get. Same lady makes my drink, so the quality is always consistent. I like to try to mix different flavors. You can mix up to 3 and they have a lot to choose from.
There are a few things that stand out about this place. 1. Prices are the same whether you get juice tea, milk tea, or smoothie. Bubbles are included in the price. Their prices are the cheapest or among the cheapest. 2. They have a buy 6 get 1 free punch card. 3. Their large is 32oz, bigger than any othe rplace. Small is 16oz and Medium is 22oz. 4. If you like Thai Iced Tea, they have a Thai Milk Tea flavor! They also have other flavors that other places don't have, such as apple juice tea. 5. They are a small business and the owners are very friendly.

My go to bubble tea place in Rockville and we all know there's plenty to choose from. The service here is consistent and kind which is always a plus. The drinks are on the sweeter side so if you are not a fan of sugar, remember to ask for less of it because they do not automatically ask like other places. Also get a punch card so that you can get a free drink read more

This used to be my favorite bubble tea place. Unfortunately I've gone back a couple times in recent years and it just wasn't the same :( That being said, I don't want to deter anyone from going here because the bubble tea is still pretty good. Some positives are: they have a lot of flavors! Their green tea is very fragrant and comes through in the juice teas! They also have a decent selection of toppings! The bubbles are good consistency, however they lack flavor. I would definitely choose bubble tea cafe over Kung Fu Tea. The drinks are simple but refreshing. Just not something I would drive out of my way for anymore. read more

I use to come here a lot a while back before kung fu tea, tea do, and all the other new boba places opened up in rockville. I was so hyped up about those other places that I forgot how great this place was. I went back recently and i loved it. I got a large mango green tea (juice tea). Their green tea is probably the best out of all the bubble tea places that ive been to. It has a very nice flowery taste to it which compliments the mango flavor very well. I like this place a lot becuase they don't drown their bubble teas in syrup, you can take the syrup but you can also taste the tea. My favorite part though is the bubbles. I dont know if they soak their bubbles in brown sugar/ honey, but it doesnt taste like it....I really like this! The honey/brown sugar soak can be overwhelming at other bubble tea shops at times so this is a plesant change. Their bubbles are sweet but the sweetness doesnt interfere with the tea itself. The bubbles are also really tiny which I love. If you havent been here give it a try, its not fancy and dressed up like other places but its really good! Also the owners are adorable! They run the shop by themselves and its great to go support a local mom-pop shop like this place. read more

I've found it hard to find a go to bubble tea place until I stumbled across this shop. I came here randomly and was surprised that it wasn't super busy considering the reviews. This is some of the best bubble tea I've had and this will definitely be my #1 spot from now on. The pricing is great and they are very generous with the boba. I 100% recommend this place to everyone. read more
They have options of Smoothies, a milk Shakes, milk tea and tea Drinks. All are made with the powdered & syrup blends. The owner was nice and the larges were 32oz for about $6. My husband had the Taro Milk Tea and I had the peach green tea. His tastes like Barbie Purple and mine tasted like Peach Syrup. Out bobas were really soft, not that chewy. read more
This place is a nice bubble tea location. Parking can be confusing. Try to park in the parking garage, above the shop, that way you can walk to the bubble tea shop. It probably a two minute walk from the parking garage. As far as their bubble tea-- I do have to say that I have had better bubble tea. This place uses a lot of artificial flavoring. I got the green tea smoothie I do not recommend it. It was way too icy for me and lacked a lot of the green tea flavoring that other bubble tea spots offer. The mango smoothie was actually really good. It was super sweet and thick. The mango flavor was very obvious unlike their green tea smoothie. Also, please note that any bubble or jelly additions cost an additional 50 cents. Also, if you get 6 teas you get one free. So ask for a stamp card :) read more
Even as I walked in an hour before closing time, the owners were welcoming and gladly made my mango-flavored boba. FOOD and DRINKS: Large Mango Boba: If you *love* boba as much as I do, go for the large which is huge and only $5.25! The boba they use is smaller than most places, but they definitely give you a generous amount. My only knock on this is the fact they use powder to flavor their drinks. It's not a deal breaker for me, but I'm used to places that freshly brew their tea. Chocolate Brownie: I am not fond of chocolate or sweets, but I did enjoy this even if the toppings were a bit excessive. The brownie is drizzled with chocolate and has pecans and chocolate pieces mixed in. It's not overly sweet, which is great. Pecan Blondie: Similar to the brownie, the sweetness was on point. Of the two desserts, this was actually my favorite. It held together well while still retaining a crumbly texture. This mom-and-pop joint serves up good boba without the hassle of picking the amount of ice and sweetness you want like the chains do. Although this is more of a 3.5-rating, I rounded up to a 4-star. BTC is a solid option for boba in Rockville. read more
2.5 stars. The boba tea here was average at best. I tried both the taro smoothie and green tea matcha milk tea, and both tasted watered down in flavor. I have to be honest, I was a bit disappointed after reading all of the raving reviews about this place. However, they do have a frequent buyer card which is nice (buy 6 get 1 (16oz) free), and the owners are also very pleasant and friendly people. They also have a very extensive and impressive menu of varying flavors (see picture). The tapioca here was cooked to perfection, and had just the right amount of sweetness. Although, the pricing for boba tea was a bit more expensive than what I'm used to. read more
Not too sweet by default, ability to customize, and very awesome reward program! Bubble tea cafe, you're my dc/md spot for bubble tea drinks. Stamp cards here are 6 stamps and the next one is free, which is such a great deal compared to those 10 stamps and the next is free. Also, the prices and flavors here beat all those places. Win win. I've had a tough time finding a good bubble tea spot as I'm used to the ones I've had while I lived in California for the past 27 years. I've been boba shopping around- from places in Rockville to stands at the malls, and bubble tea cafe is my favorite by quite a bit. Most places tend to be way too sweet, so I would order with half sugar, but then some places wouldn't allow that since drinks may be premade. Not here though! They make it fresh and you can definitely customize the level of sugar and ice and so forth. Luckily I don't need to here because it's a good amount of sweetness. Some people may say its bland if they're used to much sweeter milk tea drinks, but feel free to add more sugar/powder/syrup to meet your taste. I've had their almond milk tea and their honeydew milk tea. Both are so good! The pearls are a bit smaller than most places, but that's guarantee that it won't get stuck through the straws, right? They cook the peaks well too. They aren't all bland and gross; they have some honey flavor to them. I haven't tried their smoothies and shakes yet, but some day I will! I've heard great things about them. Thank you bubble tea cafe for giving me hope in the east coast! read more
My favorite bubble tea place! My regular order (which of course I recommend!) is: - kumquat/passionfruit green tea with tapioca and mixed jelly The owners are extremely sweet and friendly every time. The atmosphere is clean and comfortable. Easy parking nearby. Anyone who says Jumbo Café is better is insane! This place makes better bubble tea and generally gives more bubbles than Ten Ren's and Jumbo. Plus it's nice to have the same person make your tea every time. I always found that Ten Ren's would vary SO much depending on who was working. The bubbles are firm and sweet and the tea is relatively strong (which I prefer over teas that just taste like overly sweet fruit juice.) The green and black teas are both great. I find that the green tea can be a bit perfumey. I've tried most of the flavors, and the only one I would advise against is the plum. Sometimes I order a frozen bubble tea, but I think those are too sweet for me! They leave me even more thirsty! read more

Do they have a nondairy milk (like almond or oat) substitute option?
Yes, we have soy, coconut, and almond milk.
Does anyone know if they are open for take out or deliveries?
We are currently open for delivery via Postmates and for take-out.
Is Bubble Tea Café under new management? The usual couple I've seen working here are out of the country and the staff working there made no mention if or when they are coming back.
I had similar experience as Susan G. above. One of the main reasons I frequented Bubbletea Cafe was because of Mei and David. Besides having the best, and I really mean best, bubble tea in the area, they were the kindest and cutest little couple.…
