    We found bubble cups on a super hot day after feeling like some milk tea might just be the perfect thing to cool us off. When we got there, it was super hot inside, to the point where we ended up having to take our items to go because we were literally sweating. Although they have a lot of items to choose from on their menu, it's a hot mess in terms of organization. There are numerous items that are printed on separate flyers, posters, and on the wall so if you're easily overwhelmed by disorganization, this is not the place for you. Eventually we did narrow our options down, and placed our order. We were the only ones in the restaurant other than who I can imagine was the owner and her daughters, but our items took a super long time to make. Both of our drinks were very strange, a weirdly viscous texture and both the flavor and sweetness of our drinks were off. After our drinks came out, it was another super long wait for our food, which we took to go because it was so blazing hot. Once home with our food, his sandwich was very bland, chewy and the bread was somewhat stale tasting, and my noodles were greasy, heavy, and very unappetizing. Overall, I had high hopes for this place because of the reviews, but the service was unfriendly, the food was underwhelming and poorly seasoned, the wait was really long, and the heat of that restaurant was completely unmanageable. Definitely not on my list to revisit in the future.

    After playing pickleball on a very hot day, the six of us decided we needed some shaved ice. Excellent Yelp ratings guided us to BubbleCups. We were happy to see that they have an extensive menu from drinks, lunch plates, appetizers, banh mi sandwiches, soups and even fried rice. The two ladies working here on this holiday afternoon were super nice and accommodating. They turned on fans for us as it was warm inside. There are a number of tables inside so we were able to sit and enjoy our food there. The shaved ice comes in a cup like a boba drink. We ordered the following: Avocado smoothie Thai iced tea Thai tea float with boba Pineapple/peach Hawaiian snow cone Strawberry shaved ice Peach/lychee shaved ice BBQ pork banh mi sandwich Spam/egg banh mi sandwich Pork fried rice Spam musubi Popcorn chicken The shaved ice and cold drinks hit the spot for us. So refreshing post pickleball. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks, however, I probably wouldn't order the popcorn chicken next time. I told my friends about this place and they have gone twice already! Try BubbleCups if you need a refreshing drink and freshly made snack.

    I decided to try Bubblecups and pickup a Honey Dew Boba drink. It is a small store with a huge menu. Wow they have a lot of things to chose from. I will have to come back sometime. There was a little wait as the young lady behind the counter was putting together another order. I received my Honey Dew melon Boba with just the right amount of Boba and Honey Dew flavor. The Boba tasted fresh with just the right amount of chew and softness. There was nothing that was over powering and was a good solid drink, what you would expect. I will have to return.

    It is more like 3.5 stars because the wait time was too long, probably about 24 mins to get the food after placing the order. I hadn't counted the wait to place the order because there was only a person working at the front and she was busy making 3 drinks. The grilled pork was too dry, but the rice was cooked to perfection. Popcorn chicken was the best, it came with orange sweet and sour sauce ? Coco with basil seeds was good, not too sweet.

    I was pleasantly surprised to find this location when I was yelping for some boba all the way out in Santa Rosa. I loved that this place opened early before the other chain locations. I saw that they also had popcorn chicken and spam masubi as well which are my favorites! I was super excited and decided to try it all. 1. Popcorn chicken: Pretty below avg and flavorless. Wish it had The crunch was good but the chicken didn't taste fresh and it was definitely refried from before. 2. Spam Masubi: Not bad but also nothing special. The rice wasn't compacted enough so the Masubi fell apart immediately after biting into it. The sauce was also just alright and a bit bland. 3. Honeydew Milk Tea Boba: unfortunately made from powder and the boba was not fresh. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall, the service was great and I love the amount of different options they have on their menu. The prices are also really fair. The masubi was 2 for $5, popcorn chicken was $6 I think. However, if this was closer to the bay area, it would probably be 2 stars. But for the location and the amount of items they have on their menu, solid 3 stars.

    I live near BubbleCups and have always seen it when I drive by but never tried here. I decided to take a look at the menu online and didn't realize just how many food options they have. I decided to try 3 options for lunch and was insanely impressed! I called in and ordered the bbq pork combo with noodles and crab rangoons. The person who answered the phone was super sweet. When I popped in 15 min later my food was ready and I decided to order the spam masubi. The person taking my order was so kind while I waited. We chatted up and soon my masubi was ready. This food is so good!!! I've found my new lunch spot to go to. I can't wait to try more items

    I got 4 different drinks including the basil seed coco dessert drink. All were really good. One lady was working and there were customers coming in one after another. She was sweet and was working hard to take orders and make our drinks. I will definitely be back when I'm in Santa Rosa. Maybe I'll try the Thai tea (seems like a lot of people were ordering this) and the food next time.

    Waiting on a Special Olympics soccer tournament, my mom and I were hungry and wanted something that was Asian close by - and behold! Yelp found us a boba place AND they served bahn mi sandwiches! S E R V I C E: The cashier was very friendly and inviting. She wanted to get to know us a little which was sweet, and helped us out with our order. We waited for a bit for our food, but you can literally hear someone cooking in the back, making everything fresh! F O O D: My mom ordered the pork bahn mi and I had their lemon grass chick bahn mi. We also shared a popcorn chicken combo, which came with a drink and it could only be a milk tea - I ended up getting their Thai Tea Milk tea. My mom ordered lychee mint and we got my brother a strawberry green tea to go! Everything was delicious and the sandwiches were a perfect size. O V E R A L L: I'd love to come back and get the exact same thing! Their menu also has a variety of food and I heard their curry is good. Maybe next time :)

    We were looking for a treat on a warm afternoon and I remembered there was a shaved ice place near…read morethe outlets. Waze got a little confused and took us miles away but we eventually found it. Located in the Ross shopping center across the street from the outlets. I had read that it takes time for the employees to complete your order so we were prepared for the wait. There were three families ahead of us and I was pleasantly surprised that it only took 9 minutes for us to get to the front of the line to order. Not bad at all! You can choose up to three flavors for your shaved ice. We ordered: - "Pick-Me-Up" with snow cap and coconut ice cream - green tea, coffee, and coconut flavors - Mango, red raspberry, and coconut flavors Their menu takes you through the five steps of placing your order so for a first time visitor, the process is easy. They also have favorite combos listed that you can choose. We waited for our order to be completed and then we went outside to sit at a table under the tent. They poke holes in the shaved ice for more flavor all the way through. Our shaved ice was refreshing and my husband loved his Pick-Me-Up, especially the coconut ice cream. Music is playing outside and it was quite pleasant under the tent in the shade. To move the line along faster, they have menus available outside. This is definitely a popular spot. All the tables inside were occupied so the extra seating outside really helps. Plenty of parking in the huge lot.

    Open up one in SF and I will be here regardless of how cold it is…read more This place is legit good. This place can sell ice to penguins. With the syrup of course. Amazing fluffy ice with powerful and amazing flavors that don't taste fake artificial even though they are basically syrup LOL. The mango and coconut and passionfruit that I got was amazing. The sparkling soda was also good. I kept getting mango or passionfruit because it was just such a good combination. My friends love it here. One got her Lucky Charm ice which had ube ice cream and what tasted like cotton candy ice. Not my thing, but she liked it. My other friend got their tropical flavor with cream. Be prepared for the long lines, but as they say, it's worth it.
