    I was in the area for a haircut and this was in the same shopping center so gave it a try. I ordered a coconut pineapple smoothie and it was refreshing. Strong coconut and pineapple flavor. I got 25% sweet and it was probably too sweet. Next time I'll get 0%. Definitely recommend. 10/10.

    Taro Blush

    Anytime I'm in the area, I try to stop by this place. Their boba is some of the best in the sac area & they have a really clean seating area with lots of cute decor. I got the Taro Blush that comes with strawberry jam at the bottom and added strawberry popping boba and the mini pearls for an additional $.75 each. The staff was really patient in answering my questions and adjusting the drink as needed. The only reason I'm not giving a 5th star is because the cap of the drink leaked all over my clothes and car while drinking it (pictured) I would still come here again with lots of napkins just in case. Also I loved their gotcha machines! Very cute touch

    The place is super cute. I appreciate their seasonal decor. It feels like a new experience every time so it's never boring. Also just found out this place is dog friendly which is a plus! The employees are rather quiet and do their own thing. Would be nice if I was welcomed every now and then. Drinks are always consistent and very delicious. My favorite is the passion fruit tea with strawberry popping boba and lychee jelly.

    I've tried bubble tea from many places, but I think I finally found the one I really like--Bubble Tea University is officially my favorite! I've ordered their Mango Swirl twice already, and it's absolutely delicious. I even had one again last night because I couldn't resist. The shop itself is really nice, with clean furniture and a welcoming vibe. It's quiet and relaxing, making it a great spot to hang out with friends and family--or even a perfect place for a casual date.

    So a computer takes my order, and a computer wants a tip? You have got to be kidding me
    Rich B.

    January 2025. It's very sad nowadays, there's so many boba tea cafe nowadays, but they all run the same playbook! Step one, have a computer serve your order. Step 2, charge extra for anything additional you can think of. Step 3, minimize staff. This place is terrible, there was only 1 person working on a Sunday, someone said hi welcome in but they were behind a wall, so I was confused. If you are going to welcome me, like at least make sure I can see you. No one took my order, I ordered off a computer screen. It was SUPER confusing, there was like 20 different options for boba, and I literally just wanted normal boba, and I guess the normal boba is "pearls." But it's not like I can ask that computer screen any questions. Before I checked out, it had auto tip at 15%!! That is so ridiculous, first off the order was so confusing. You only have one person working, maybe if they took my order I would give them a tip. But PSA tips are a scam nowadays, they don't even go to the workers, the tips go to the owners too who aren't even working. And yea the boba drink when I received it was not even sealed, you have to shake your boba drink that's boba 101, and part of the drink spilled so that was not great. Terrible... I'm going to try to find a boba cafe that is not like the rest maybe one with a real human that will take your order.

    Love the cups!!

    Good boba spot in Roseville. Order from the kiosk. My taro was very sweet and the boba was good. They have non dairy milks. I like the cups! Cutely decorated inside!

    Do you see any sea salt cream?

    I've finally tried BU again after a long time, and they failed me again 2x. Paid for salted cream but never got it. It's not cheap neither. Not happy at all. That was the reason why I go to BU.

    My 5-year-old wanted boba and I remembered this place was in the area we were in at the time. We went in expecting to order at the counter, but we were directed to an electronic kiosk to place and pay for the order. The kiosk is not that user friendly for first timers who are not tech gurus. You kind of need to know what you want and where to look.... I ended up ordering an item that was kind of what I intended on, but it was more expensive because it was organic. The kiosk automatically adds a 20% tip for what turns out to be no service at all. You actually have to catch it and manually remove or change it, if you wish to. Having been a food server, a million years ago, I always tip for service; usually in the 25% range, but if I don't have human interaction I'm not prone to tipping. I tasted my son's brown sugar boba, it was good, but the experience and the overall vibe was not great. It's a small place with chairs that tower above the very short tables in the tiny wizard decorated sitting area. I doubt that I'll be back, but I've learned to never say never!

    Banana smoothie, strawberry jelly popping boba.

    Just visited this today, I've never had boba before so I asked a clarifying question and the staff was really rude, I also heard them laughing after :( I stood over by the counter while waiting for my drink and she snapped at me asking what I was waiting for. There were 2 young girls one that was pretty (the nice one) and one that was pretty rough (the mean one). The date is 1/11 and the time is 3:24. If the owner is reading this please check the staff list and have a conversation with her. Never is it okay to make a customer feel like they are inferior or unwanted. Pretty good banana smoothie though. And for what it's worth the place is decorated nice and love the color changing thermal straws, however, that young lady was so rude that I will not be returning.

    Melon Blizzard  $5.95; March 2023
    Laura T.

    Ordering is only with the self serve kiosk, and card only payments. If you approach the counter the staff will direct you to the self serve kiosk. They appeared quite rude and a bit standoffish as well. Wasn't able to ask the employees about certain options for the drinks or inquire about any other aspect for ordering. The interior is very cute and clean, with plenty of seating for you to enjoy your treats inside if you desire. I ordered the Melon Blizzard which was $5.95 for only one size available. It was average! Most melon smoothies have an artificial melon flavoring but this one was quite tasted a bit watery and didn't leave that strange fake aftertaste like how some other boba places make their melon snow smoothies. Quite disappointed overall.

    Accepting cash or not?

    Yes cash is accepted but only at the front counter

    Are the cups they use re-usable (as in if you bring them back another time and get a drink similar to Starbucks re-usable cups)? Considering these cups are nicer than the norm and ideally to reduce waste, I'd hope so!

    Is this place pet-friendly inside? Is there outdoor seating available?

    Not sure about pet-friendly but there is no outside seating

    Do you offer sugar free options?

    What do I need to order to get the cute design on top? Can I request a specific design?

    Are you closed on the weekends now?

    Are you guys open right now? Phone line keeps ringing busy

    Does anyone know the store hours?

    Is this the same place as The Bomb teashop?

This is my absolute go-to boba shop out here! I don't even waste my time and money trying those other spots that try to look aesthetic or cute, because most times their milk teas just taste like they were made from a powder base. Purple Kow uses fresh milks and good brews. The drink I always get (and love) from here is the oolong milk tea with boba!

The drink & food menu has expanded since we first started coming here. Ordering can be done at kiosks or with a staffer at the counter. Sometimes interaction can be minimal, but often we're greeted & welcomed to ask any questions, & drinks are pleasantly handed off to us. We've tried a variety of drinks here, but our go to faves are a Strawberry Fruit Slush with Brown Sugar Crystal Boba, Thai Tea, & D8. Their 50% sweetness level suits me perfectly. I've encountered bummer times when the drink I've wanted is out & not available. The regular size cup is too wide for a car cup holder, which is inconvenient. We still enjoy coming here for a treat & to get something refreshing.

    *** Non Boba Drinker Review ***…read more If there is such a thing as a designated driver for a boba run, that would be me. I've been on countless number of trips to boba shops over the last 20 years and although I use to succumb to peer pressure early on, it's been so long now. Years since I've ordered anything. But for some reason, when I was the DD to this spot, they had a "Best Seller" menu board. My previous go-to was always taro and after they confirmed it was fresh taro -- actually, they warned me it was fresh taro because customers have something else in mind -- I succumbed. Their verbal drink descriptions were so finely tuned like a Hollywood actor, they made everything sound so good and they were right. No boba added - just their Best Seller "Taro Smash" I watched them make it and after the fist few sips, I immediately regretted not ordering the large. And since I'm such a rookie at this now, I forgot to give it a shake and get the ice to do what ice does. After that, it was even better. So, hands down the best taro drink I've had.
