They have about 2-3 boba places in Reno, all somewhat mediocre. A few hours before departing Reno last week, I made my bf drive to this location, which is the only location I haven't visited yet. Saw canisters of powder near the front window, meaning the drinks are made from powder. I saw a container with purple powder--taro powder. I'm not a big fan of powdered milk teas, but with a limited of boba places in Reno, I had no choice. T4 was nowhere to be found, so this taro drink would have to suffice. I ordered a Taro Milk Tea with tapioca (+0.50) and soy milk substitute (+0.50). Total came out to be $5.00+. They also provide milk subs for those who are lactose intolerant. Almond, Soy, and Coconut: +0.50 cents. All barista blend. Plenty of outdoor seating. No bathrooms. They should make an exception for customers because I really had to go! Service: 5/5 Black balls: 1/5. Not sweet enough and has a strange texture compared to Bay Area balls. Drinks: 4/5. Although made from powder, it was quite delicious! read more

FINAL EDIT #2: I gotta say, this business owner made every effort to fix and resolve the issue that my wife, son and I had regarding Fraud. He addressed the concerns and ultimately replaced his Credit Card Processing Terminal so that others wouldn't have the same issue. I applaud this owners efforts as you don't see many owners "Owning up to their business mistakes". Fraud, you be the judge was the title of this review, but when an owner takes responsibility for his company actions, as this owner did, then this is a place well worth returning to. Original Post:.. Fraud, you be the judge... I have been here many times and when our son was in town he wanted a Tiger drink, so we went here and ordered a tiger and two other drinks. When I went to pay with a card, the card machine would NOT allow me to pay without tipping. I tried to explain to the worker but she acted like she couldn't understand me. My wife explained in Tagalog (the worker and my wife are filipino) and she looked at us kind of weird. All in all, 3 drinks ended up costing us $28.00 - This will be the last time we come here as it seems to be a bit fraudulent, how do you expect people to fork out almost $10 a drink thats majority ice with a little flavoring. Edit: After speaking with my Wife, she told me that we received 2 Jasmin Tea's and 2 Tiger Tea's (even though we only ordered 1 Jasmin and 2 Tigers). The FRAUD part about this review is the fact that we were not able to press "NO TIP", in fact the only button to press was the 20% tip to complete the transaction (the Clover terminal that they use has a "No Tip, 10%, 15%, 20% and so on. But every time I pressed the "NO TIP" the clover terminal didn't register, in fact the 10% and 15% didn't work either) So to complete my order I had to press the 20% button. The business owner and I have been messaging back and forth to figure things out. But at the end of the day, it's still fraud. He may have had no idea this was happening. read more

Visited this boba place in Reno on the way back to peppermill from the downtown area. I must say what a cute place. There was a big speaker playing cool hip music right outside the shop and it's an outside sitting only. They only offer one size for all their drinks, which is a large 16oz cup ??? I forget the actual size but for $3.99 not bad eh? ***| Taro milk tea, pretty tasty but I wish it was colder. There were ice cubes inside but it didn't get that cold til towards halfway point. They only had lychee popping boba (TASTED AMAZING)!!! If you like taro this tasted good and not those fake taro drinks being offer elsewhere lol. **| Mango Fruit Tea, my bf didn't like it much.. he said it tasted super artificial. He also mentioned his drink wasn't that cold (see comment above). Overall I didn't hate it and I didn't love it maybe because I'm comparing it to boba places back home. I've tried so many great boba places. Anyways great concept especially during hot summer days but make the drinks COLDER hahaha. read more

I was pleasantly surprised because the drinks were quite good. It looked like it was just one worker who was handling the entire place. It took a little while for my drink because she had to brew it. It doesn't look like much but it was actually quite good. Parking was a little annoying but there is a tiny parking lot behind the shop. read more

Cute boba place in downtown Reno. Free onsite parking behind the building or on the open lot on the side. Walk up to the window and place your order. Minus one star - no fresh fruit are used as I was told. All powder and syrup based. Sugar and milk based options. read more

This place is so cute! It's a small booth with a walk-up counter but there are several seats outside if you don't wanna take your boba to-go. What I love about this boba spot is the variety! Not only do you get several flavor options, you get multiple choices for your toppings too! I'm not used to boba spots that offer not only boba or jelly but even popping bobas in several flavors. I had the pineapple, passionfruit combo fruit tea with lychee popping boba & it was delicious! I love that you could ask them to combine flavors! My husband had the banana milk tea & it was so good too. He loved that it didn't taste like "artificial banana" but tasted like real bananas, almost like a smoothie. Love that Bubble Tea Station Cafe also plays with their BTS initials and have BT21 characters drawn on their menu. As an army, I totally appreciate this & love this place even more. If I didn't live in Vegas, I'd definitely visit this place every week just to try something new. read more

I tried the fruit tea boba here few years back but didn't like it tbh and everyone else that came with me also didn't like it. But I recently saw that they had started selling tiger milk boba and one of my friend recommended it so wanted to give it a try. I will say it definitely changed my opinion about this place became their Tiger Milk Tea boba was really good and I will definitely recommend it myself!! read more

Over the weekend some friends and I were able to have a veritable celebration of bubble teas, or as I would call it, a Boba Fete... *cricket, cricket, cricket* Ahem, anyway... This is a really delightful spot for some really delicious treats. Though it took a while, I have grown to enjoy boba drinks with those chewy little orbs of tapioca floating in them. It was sort of a niche thing for a while, especially in Reno, but I am glad it has taken off, and we now have Bubble Tea Station right in the heart of Midtown. They are hard to miss, being set up in a tiny stand near the intersection of Virginia and Center Streets. There are a few parking spaces in their own lot, and plenty of others in the surrounding blocks. Walk right up to their windows, and you can see their impressive selection of flavors and and additional options. And once you order, it is pretty interesting to watch as their machines shake and seal your drinks for you. Outside there are several tables and umbrellas, which are no doubt great to hang out at during the warmer months. We ended up going with three of the milk teas, the Matcha, Thai Tea, and Taro flavors. All of them were sweet, but not overly so, especially the matcha, which actually had a very prominent green tea flavor. The Thai Tea was likewise very good. But what really impressed my was the Taro flavor. This funky-looking purple brew is just phenomenal, and definitely gets a high recommendation from me. Though we didn't get a chance to try them this time, we did see there are fruit teas, as well as more standard cafe drinks like lattes and cappuccinos available, too. The service here was exceptionally friendly, and the teas were handed off to us very quickly. Price-wise you are looking at about the same range you would for a sugary blended drink at the Green Giant or other big chain coffee stores, but I think for the novelty of it, and how yummy they turned out, you are getting a great deal. So if you are cruising through Midtown, especially if it's a sunny and warm day, I can for sure say you got to stop by and snag a boba tea. Great work, guys! read more

The Bubble Tea Station is always pretty busy as there was about 8 to 10 of us standing outside I suggest calling the Café and ordering your Boba ahead of time. They also have Apple Pay for contactless payments. We've also in the past tried their Thai tea, taro, honey dew either blended or over ice they're all really flavorful. The lions milk tea is a brown sugar it is super delicious so if you're out and about come and try one of my suggestions. read more

This place is outside and you walk up to it to order and there's a pretty good sized outside seating area. I'm not a bubble tea pro but I have enjoyed it every time I've gotten it. Here I decided to try the strawberry fruit tea with popping boba. I think this was my first time trying the popping boba anywhere and I realllllly like this more than the normal boba! My boyfriend got the honeydew milk tea which was sooo good and I really preferred this over mine after trying it but both drinks were tasty and I would love to come back! read more

We've been here twice now and I think we will be back soon! So many flavors of milk and fruit tea to choose from. We also love the variety of toppings (boba, popping boba, jelly, etc.) we haven't quite decided what our favorite is from her yet, but we like everything we've tried including tiger tea, guava fruit tea, passion fruit tea, and mango milk tea. It's easy to park in the back of the building. There was a little wait when we went, but it's a popular place with a smaller building so we weren't too concerned about that. They have outdoor patio with chairs. It also would be fun to get a drink and then cruise through a few of the other local businesses in walking distance. We have some friends who live nearby and we have already recommended they go check it out! read more

I'm not sure if I've been spoiled with good boba since I currently live in Vegas and i'm from the bay area but the milk tea here isn't good, specifically the Hokkaido. Overly sugary, the caramel taste it's supposed have tasted burnt, Didn't taste like any one I've ever had. The girl working the register and making the drinks was dismissive and seemed like she didn't want to be there. I understand remaking a drink costs money to a small business but she still wasn't accommodating by any means, it felt like I was a bother to her with the way she spoke. Shame cause the location and space was cute and quaint. read more

Perfect cooling boba tea for a hot summer day. Such a treat to have this Tea Station in convenient midtown Reno. I've ordered the taro boba tea two days in a row and it's been deliciously refreshing. My brother recommends Coconut with boba. Counter workers are friendly and I love the fun music they play on the loudspeaker. A large outdoor seating area with tables and umbrellas let's you sit, chill, and sip. You can either park on the street, the side street, or on-site-behind the tiny boba station. read more

Super tasty, fun music, a great place for hanging outside sipping on cool non-alc beverages. Great for kids and could totally bring bikes or pups. Slightly weird customer service about pricing, but the cost is so minimal anyways; nbd. Enjoyed our short stay! read more

Bubble Tea Station Cafe - First boba experience! So happy there's now a place in town to share this joy with him!!! 100% delicious - Bubble Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

DISGUSTING, NOT COVID COMPLIANT. I will never come here again. I ordered a Jasmine smoothie and I was given a milk tea instead. When I told the lady it was supposed to be a smoothie she told me that it was going to be $1 more even though the already charged me the extra dollar for a smoothie the first time! When I told her I wanted a refund instead of paying $7 for a drink, she told me there was no one to open the register?! She would not refund me so she took my ALREADY sipped on drink and reblended it - BOBA and all. Needless to say, she didn't put more boba in despite blending all mine into bits. I find it incredibly disturbing and disgusting that my beverage was reblended after already drinking off of it. Gross. I hope this place gets shut down. read more

Spring decides to show up, so what do we do? Brunch and a stroll through Midtown to check out all of the new businesses of course! After Virginia to visit Pizzava and Under The Rose's new brewery and taproom, we decided we needed a cold drink to cool us off from the blaring sun, and Bubble Tea Station appeared like an oasis in the desert! This kiosk finally has a purpose, and it was awesome to see it so busy! We approached the window and ordered a Thai Tea with boba, and minutes later it was out! The tapioca pearls were soft and chewy, and the Thai Tea was sweet, but not too sweet! It was incredibly refreshing. Best of all they were rocking some epic tunes, the sun was shining, the umbrellas were SECURELY UP on the comfortable patio and the staff was super friendly. I've been wanting to stop by here for a while, and I'm so glad we did. I can't wait to visit their other location in Sparks soon! OH YEA! They have salted cheese topping! read more

Cute little boba shop! I ordered a jasmine milk tea with boba and my sister ordered an original milk tea with boba. The jasmine milk tea was ok. It was more on the floral side and it tasted a little watered down. However, their original milk tea was pretty good! It was quite creamy, and the black tea flavor was prominent. The boba itself has a good consistency, and it wasn't at all clumpy. However, the boba didn't have a strong honey taste or sweetness to it. It definitely seemed like their tiger milk tea was their most popular drink, so I'll definitely need to try that next time. Although their drinks aren't on the same level as Bay Area boba, the drinks taste good and will certainly curb your boba tea craving! Would definitely come again. read more

As far as bubble goes in town, I haven't had many. This place always has good flavors and is refreshing. They can make some pretty neat concoctions. It's a good stop when you're in the midtown area and especially on a hot summer day. I had mine in the winter but still worth stopping by. read more

Great customer service, products and selection! I would recommend this place to anyone in search of a good boba!

If you like it sweet, that is! read more

My husband and I ordered two large beverages. One was a lychee tea with no add ons, and a Thai milk tea with almond milk instead. The lychee tea was amazing!! Nice and sweet and aromatic. The Thai tea was also very good. The two ladies working were very nice and patient. Good prices and in a great location. A must try if you are curious about different exotic teas. They also have pastries. read more

A couple girlfriends and I were on the mood for some boba and remembered seeing this place, so we decided to check it out. It's a cute little spot near the south end of midtown across the street from Junkies. It's tiny and there is actually just a walk up window with no indoor seating. They have a cute gated patio with lots of tables outside, however - it was a beautiful winter day when we went and I can only imagine how awesome that space is during the summer. I ordered a large taro milk tea with boba and opted for soy milk. The large size is only 50 cents more than a regular, so I'd say treat yo self! They also offered almond milk as an alternative to dairy. The drink was tasty, but it seemed a little coconut-y to me. The ratio of boba to liquid was close to perfect! My friends got the chocolate one and the matcha tea. The chocolate one was so decadent, like a rich chocolate milk. The matcha was also good and just slightly sweet. The lady who took our order was nice and our drinks were made promptly. We all enjoyed our drinks and would certainly return. read more

I can't really handle that much caffeine and yet I find myself craving boba from time to time. After reading multiple reviews, I decided to go with the tried and true tiger milk classic. The prices were a bit higher than I normally see but service was quick and I appreciated that they have a mic to speak into so that you're not shouting your order behind plexiglass. I appreciated that they had non-dairy options for my lactose-intolerant husband and that the service was so quick. If in the area and craving another boba, I would stop here again. read more

When it is warm out, there isn't anything better than bubble tea, well besides sangria and beer. This location is still a spot to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather. The only place I can find it town that makes a good taro boba without it being overly sweet. Texture of the boba is always consistently soft and chewy, but not mushy. Love this place and glad it has remained in business. read more

Finally a stand alone (not in the Mall) boba milk tea station .... long awaited for Reno area- soon to be in Sparks! Give it a try if you have never tried. Sweet milk treat or tea latte with fun in your mouth tapioca pearls ( jelly or mochi bites). Owner said no on burgers - he wanted to revamp the food menu to quick to prep treats ( egg rolls, musubi, katsu- possibly)! read more

Of all the bubble tea stations this one is halfway decent. I still think the sparks location is best. The gal taking our order was really nice and chatty. I'm only giving this 3 stars because the quality of the tea was low. Very watery in flavor. I plan to give this location another try, since I think it has potential. read more

The brown sugar boba we got was good but we knocked off two points because 1. They added more than half a cup of ice and 2. they charged an extra dollar for what we thought was going to be brown sugar flavored boba. But it turned out to be just regular boba and they weren't even fresh. So don't advertise "brown sugar boba for $5.99" when it's actually $6.99 Don't like to give business to people who tries to rip you off. read more

#WorstMilkTea Very watery and no flavor. I understand this is Reno but seriously I think they used a blender to make the milk tea at one point. Called back to talk to the young guy who made them, he didn't understand what 50% sugar mean compared to 50% of the milk tea powder for flavor. Do not go here . read more

This location is outside seating or take away only. They can take forever. Took 10 minutes to get my drink but I think there was a really big order before me.. still 10 minutes..there was only one guy working there. The guy was nice. The milk tea is okay. Not as flavorful as other BOBA PLACES I've been. The coconut is barely noticeable. No blended milk teas on the menu. Sometimes the boba are hard in the middle instead of chewy...It's good enough to get me through a small boba craving though. read more
