The place was located right in the central went east. There is plenty of street parking nearby. It was a very cute vibe and found seating near the window. The staff were friendly and efficient. I got the brown sugar latte with boba. It was very sweet so if you get to would rec to add less sugar. Overall, I did like it and fulfilled my boba craving. A great place to go with plenty of options to choose from read more

Bubblecup is one of a handful of bubble tea shops located in the Central West End. They offer a variety of dairy and non-dairy based flavored teas, slushes and snow cones. I ordered the Classic Taro Milk Tea (25% sweetness) with boba topping. It was absolutely delicious! The subtle flavor and reduced sweetness made it taste more like a refreshment than a dessert. There are a few considerations when choosing Bubblecup. First, due to its location in the Central West End, street parking nearby may not be available. Second, their seating area is limited to a few 2-top tables and a breakfast bar. Finally, Bubblecup does not serve food or snacks. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and look forward to my next visit. read more

I have two words. Holy Peak. I dont even have a photo because I devoured it so fast, but the shaved ice here is amazing. It melted in my mouth with a perfect consistency and wasnt too sweet. There was a really nice asian guy serving us and I kinda felt bad because the shop was empty, but it still felt cozy. Please please please come here and try the shaved ice. I got the matcha and it was so so so good read more

Cute and cozy spot with conveniently priced and light desserts. Boba and shave ice was the same quality as what we have in California! read more

Tshuah-ping (Taiwanese Shaved Ice) is how we recommend ringing in the first official weekend of summer! A new addition to the Central West End, our trip to Ice Cave ended up being a 2-for-1 surprise because it's tucked inside Bubblecup Tea Zone! Naturally, we needed to order from both menus! Here's what we tried: Strawberry Banana Snow Matcha Shaved Ice Watermelon Shaved Ice Taiwanese Shaved Ice is the perfect middle ground between ice cream and the type of snow cones we grew up with here in STL. It's creamy and refreshing. Not too savory, not too sweet--just right! And the Snow options are comparable to milkshakes. The shaved ice menu is small, but the list of milk teas, fruit teas, slushes, and snows go on and on! Plus, there are a number of enticing toppings. From red beans and grass jelly to popping boba and sea salt cream, the customization options are a whole other flavor adventure! Check out the highlight reel from our visit: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ct1poZBPl2w/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== read more

Bubblecup, a popular Missouri shaved ice and bubble tea shop, recently opened a new location in the Central West End a few weeks ago. This is their second location to open in St. Louis, with their other shop located on Manchester. Bubblecup offers a large selection of drinks, including classic brewed teas, milk teas, sea salt teas, and slush. They also offer a variety of flavors of shaved ice with an assortment of toppings to choose from, including jellies, boba pearls, red bean, taro, mochi balls, and condensed milk. I ordered taro milk tea, my usual go-to drink, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The milk tea was the perfect amount of sweetness and the boba pearls had a nice chewy consistency to them. I also decided to sample the watermelon shaved ice with the assortment of jellies, which was recommended by the owner. The shaved ice was light and fluffy and tasted just like a watermelon! It did not feel like it was artificially flavored like some shaved ices taste sometimes. The owner was very nice and I was able to pick up my milk tea and shaved ice very quickly. I will definitely be returning to try other flavors and would recommend friends to visit too. read more

Visited the CWE location over the weekend and was very disappointed. The inside is cute but there's only a few tables. There was no boba available... again. Waited for about 15 mins to get my drink. I ordered half sweet but the drink was 100% sugar. read more

Great spot for bubble tea in the CWE! They had a HUGE menu, I was a little overwhelmed haha, but went for my go to which is the mango tea with boba and lychee jelly. It was fresh and delicious. They also have different sweetness levels - I asked for 25% sweetness which I was happy with! I'm excited to try their spicy chai bubble tea next time I'm in the area! Never heard of that! read more

Visited the CWE location so maybe other locations will be different, but I was not impressed. The fruit milk teas me and my friends got tasted extremely artificial (for example, the peach milk tea was very syrup-y and had a banana? aftertaste). The shaved ice was overly sweet but would've been alright if it wasn't so expensive. Overall, I would not come back here for boba. read more

Very nice owner and quick service. We ordered a mango shaved ice and 3 boba drinks and it was very refreshing. There are a few tables indoor and bar seating. I think people spend 20-30 min here on average. Would recommend! read more

This place has the most amazing, tasty, authentic Taiwanese shaved ice ever!!!!! I'm visiting from California and the last time I had shaved ice this good was when I was vacationing in Taiwan over ten years ago. The owners (who are super nice) mentioned they use recipes from their mom in Taiwan which I totally believe. They create ultra-fine, super flavorful, cascading, layered ribbons of shaved ice with goodies like boba, mango, red beans or taro on the side, depending on which flavor you order. It is so good that in the 10 days I have been in St. Louis visiting, I have gone back 8 times. My favorite is the taro shaved ice, with the mango being a close second. I wish they would open a shop in California near me! read more

This is no Kona slushy, this is a classic Taiwanese slushy! And if you're like me, you didn't know the difference but let me assure you it's astronomical. Parking is easy on the CWE streets. You pop inside and order from a large menu. We split one of the large mango creations meant for sharing and added boba. We sat outside (I do wish there was more outside seating!) because inside is a little loud. The service was great, they brought us our food to our little table outside and we dived in. Will be going back every two weeks to try something new read more

I was in the area and decided to try this small boba spot in CWE. The service was friendly and I asked about the sweetness of the drinks and was recommended to try 100% sweetness for my milk tea. That was a mistake. In addition it was very watered down in tea flavor and surprising had an artificial taste, despite getting regular milk tea. I could not finish my drink. read more

I recently moved to the CWE area, and this tea shop is within my apartment. When I came here one evening, it was a crowded night, and I put in my order only to find out there was a very long wait. I ordered a Brown Sugar Latte (the taste was lacking, but the tapioca was cooked perfectly), and I got the red bean cake (tasty). Overall, my experience at this place was alright. I recommend coming to this place when it's not busy unless you don't mind waiting 30-40 minutes for your food and drinks :) read more

Magnificent choices, excellent price for amounts, and great service. Products were so well put together it forced me to take longer than any experience to settle. Only one server and preparer but he was faster than 3 or 4 people. The Ambiance could cause one to change from take out to eat in. read more

This place was very cute and the drinks are so great! They were out of whipped cream when I went so I didn't get to try the cute cookies and cream special they had with the little face, but my brown sugar latte was one of the best I've had! My daughter got a strawberry slush and liked it. There is a couple of window seats and some little tables inside but most people got theirs to go. There was a greenery wall to also take pics with your drink. I think the person working when I came was training so he didn't have recommendations but was super friendly and got our drinks out fast. read more

Bubble up tea zone in central west end opened at the perfect time, because taiwanese shaved ice and boba ate the perfect summer cures for a hot humid day. And this new location has the BEST and most authentic taiwanese shaved ice. The owners are from Taiwan and used to own another shaved ice shop. They recently moved to St. Louis and brought along their expert shaved ice skills. Their mango shaved ice is also very similar to the ones you'd find on the night market streets of Taiwan. The staff was so helpful and patient while waiting for us to choose what we wanted. They also have an instagram-worthy backdrop for all your snaps with boba. Can't wait to go back! read more

Quite a few places doing bubble tea in the CWE and nearby areas, BCTZ is the best. You can tell the difference in the boba, which are softer and more flavorful than the usual orbs of gel. Cool interior, especially on a hot summer day. Very friendly and locally owned. read more

First thing i noticed walking into bubble up was that they use sugar cane in the drinks. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with the smell of boba and sugar. The crew was super friendly and attentive. The drinks came out in minutes and they were delicious and refreshing. The boba was delicious and the perfect texture , not too mushy and not hard. Coming from Los Angeles we have an abundance of very good boba shops. This one definitely sets the bar for other ones in St. Louis. Definitely, coming back if I am ever back in the area. read more
