LOVE them, the tea is fantastic and they add more tea rather than dilute with anything else if you ask for less ice! They're my favorite, low-key boba shop in Rockville. There's a few spots inside to hangout though I haven't gotten a chance to stay and get a real feel for sitting in -- maybe sometime soon. But the staff is super helpful and we always enjoy the tea. read more

Bubbles&Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Tucked away in a shopping center on Rockville Pike! I had them bookmarked and since I was in the area and I decided to stop by. I like exploring new boba tea spots. There's alot in this area! Service was good. Helpful employees. I got a salted caramel milk tea with regular ice, 30% sugar and boba. This drink was good but I've had better! Would I try them again? Maybe, but not in a hurry. read more

We came here right at opening time and the owner was nice enough to take our drink orders. I love that they offer bubble waffles too. Their tea drinks have a lot of flavor and are not too sweet and somewhat traditional which I appreciate. It's a casual cafe with a few seating tables and large TV menu read more

Surprisingly I liked this place! We were craving something sweet after eating next door & this place had boba & other desserts. I got the osmanthus oolong tea with tapioca & oat milk. Was happy to see that they had milk alternatives since I know some places that still don't. It had a good tea flavor & was nice & light. I enjoyed it. Plus the boba was nice & chewy. Would go again. read more

I got the black classic milk tea, in hopes that it would taste like Kung fu's milk tea. My expectations were met! Bubbles&Tea taste more tea than the milky compared to KFU, which I found really refreshing. Next time, I would love to try something from their top 10 that's more adventurous like tiramisu milk, mango milk tea, or their 3Q milk tea (bubble, pudding, grass jelly). Very cute and cozy cafe with gacha machines. Good place for smaller groups like maybe max 4 because of limited seating. read more

Bubbles&Tea - 51. Black Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I didn't even know this tea shop was here, really blends into the rest of the shopping center and being on a lower floor doesn't help. But god damn the tea flavor is really good! Gotten the earl grey and black milk teas before, both were brewed the perfect amount without any astringency, which is really hard for me to find honestly. It beats a lot of the major chains, so major props. They also got token prizes (forgot if capsule or crane game) and some overpriced plushies for sale, but the whole joint is pretty cozy. If you can catch yourself without a crowd, it's a good time to chill or get some work done. Will have to come back to try to snacks! read more

Green Tea Yogurt drink delicious. The staff working there did an excellent job. This is somewhat hidden, to the left of A&J restaurant. read more

Our favorite bubble tea place in the area! It's a hidden gem, next to A&J on the lower level of the Woodmont Station shopping plaza... We love this place because it is super friendly and we're always greeted warmly...the bubble tea is consistently pretty great (we are here at least 3 or 4 times a week), and you can adjust the sugar level (for most of the drinks). My favorites are the regular black milk tea with bubbles, the warm ginger milk tea, and the winter melon bubble tea. They also have special desserts difficult to find anywhere--my favorites are the grass jelly with taro balls and tofu pudding with red bean. Highly recommended! read more

I haven't tried many boba shops in the Rockville area but this seemed to quench my thirst for milk tea. A perfect mix of tea and milk, the tea was not oversteeped and it wasn't too milky either. Will def be coming back. read more

Justin helped us decide what to order, and my son was happy with his drink after a couple fails at other boba places!

Small, cute shop, located next to A&J in the shopping center. Tried the green tea yogurt drink, which can be customized by sweetness and ice amount. Bubbles were extra, but good and chewy. They also have other topping options, which aren't available at all bubble shops. read more

Although not on the menu, the girl behind the counter was accommodating to my request for a red bean slushie. The place is on the smaller side with just a couple of tables. They do have those vending machine thingys but for one item you need tokens ($6), which is a bit pricey. It's also in the same shopping center as Duck donuts so it's a win-win! read more

So Bubbles&Tea is located off the Pike, but very easy to overlook, as it's kind of tucked away in a corner. It's next door to A&J, so I'll usually stop in for a drink after having stuffed my belly with food, but it's easy to forget about it otherwise. I've been to B&T a number of times, and have tried most of the slush/smoothies and standard milk teas, all are good! The juices they use are from Taiwan so it's probably a lot more authentic than some of the other bubble tea shops in the area. The other day, my sister made an Uber Eats order for multiple drinks, and I tried the Earl Grey Almond Milk Tea AND Hazelnut Milk Tea for the first time! WHAT? HAZELNUT?! Where has this been my entire life?! Ok, so I've had Almond milk tea at other shops, and usually it's overly powdery, but not this one! And the Hazelnut... omg so good. Even with 75% sugar, it was plenty sweet to cure my craving for sweets. And the pudding.... So soft and a perfect amount of globby goodness to feel like I got some substance when literally slurping up the entire large drink in 3 minutes. Definitely a must try! Hazelnut Milk Tea, 75% sweet, with pudding. You won't regret it! read more

Some of the best bubble tea in the area! I stopped in randomly one afternoon. The shop was quiet and cozy. They had one staff person working who was patient and friendly as we made our selections. I was pleasantly surprised! My tea was great, not overly sweet and the boba was just the way I like it! I will definitely be back! read more

I can't believe I haven't done a review for this spot... Maybe I am just trying to keep this a secret cause it's my go to spot for amazing bubble tea! We just moved from LA and if you know, LA has a pretty big Asian area where I can get really authentic good bubble tea drinks. Well, moving to Maryland is great and I heard that Rockville is a smaller version of the Asian area in LA... But after a few try in different stores, we found this!!! A store that has strong and flavorful black tea, yet not too sweet nor watered down! Boba is perfectly chewy and not too soft or too hard. We have been here so many times now I can't remember all the drinks I've tried from them... But my hubby only gets their classic black tea with boba and it is always made with perfect boba and perfect amount of sweetness. I am amazed how their staffs are so well trained that whoever made those drinks, it will always be the same! (If you like to go to local bubble tea shops, you know it's a struggle sometimes.) Service is always good and very polite staffs. We are in almost the end of covid19 (well, in my hopes and wishes), they still not allow people inside the store and order by the front door. I actually quite like that since we are still not in guarantee that everyone got their vaccines. I am already a regular (every week/ once every 2 weeks type. Can't do too much sugar for this old body... :'( ), I will sure visit again soon and I hope you do too! read more

They are definitely taking COVID seriously here! You are not let into the store so a staff meme we takes your order from the register and you can see the order on screen by the entrance. Unfortunately, they do not have Apple Pay, but they spray your card before handing it back to you. I ordered the split cup taro with bubbles, 75% sweetness and the passion fruit green tea with lychee bursting bubbles, both on their popular menu. Keep in mind that with the split cup, you get the purple taro and not the brownish one so I didn't have real pieces of taro in it. The taro is a bit on the creamier side, which I liked. I enjoyed both drinks, not too sweet and the bubbles were cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back to try other flavors! read more

Wow, black tea latte, this is a new fav, a tea latte, just as good as a coffee latte. Seriously I had no idea a tea latte existed. This is a great find on the Pike and that dim sum place right next door looks incredible too. Go out an explore everyone, you can find all sorts of hidden gems during COVID-19. I also tried their bubble tea full of yummy sweetness and flavor. Bubble & Tea won't disappoint. They use high quality natural ingredient, so that explains the goodness popping out of their product. For food options, it looks like a limited menu, Icy Taro Ball, Shaved Ice and Snow I've. But check Bubble & Tea out its a winner: read more

I've tried both the egg waffle with ice cream and the mango snow ice. Both so good!! Will definitely be coming back to get boba. The wait time was longer than expected but it was understandable because it was quite busy. The store itself is really cute and I like the ambiance. They also have little vending machines and anime figures. I wish there were more ice cream flavors to eat with the egg waffle but nevertheless it was delicious. read more

Really like this place! Bubbles were the perfect blend of soft/chewy, the tea itself was not too sugary or artificial tasting at all. The flavors were fresh and delicious. Glad to have found another go-to bubble tea spot in Rockville! Also as expected, everything is cutesy. Clean environment, nice lounging areas, friendly service. Nothing to complain about! Definitely going to go back to try the tofu pudding. Sounded and looked very tasty from the posters I saw inside! read more

Bubbles&Tea - Large mango milk tea and medium lychee black tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I am a huge fan of Taro, and the fact that they use real Taro in their Taro Milk was what made me want to try this place! Typically most establishments will use the taro powder but here you get the real thing. Because of this, you will then see the color of the drink is much lighter. Keep in mind that you will feel the texture of mini-chunks of the taro in there, but for me I did not mind that at all. The drink had a great taste and the boba I had was fine. Also, they do have an extensive menu of different tea and boba options, but since I do not live in the area and cannot come here often, I am always just tempted to get the Taro Milk! The place has a nice interior and I have been able to also try some other dessert options such as their shaved ice, which was delicious too! read more

Bubbles&Tea - Some of the menu - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Really good COVID precautions here! You are only allowed in the entrance to order and then you wait outside where they'll wave you down when your drink is ready. Service was also very fast, my drink came out right away. I ordered the real taro milk tea which was yummy and not too sweet. You could tell there was blended taro in there instead of flavoring. Not only are there many drink options but they also seem to sell desserts like puff waffles, shaved ice and various jellos/puddings. I'm looking forward to trying something new the next time I visit. read more

Been looking for a Taiwanese dessert place in the DMV and this place was the best I had. Really fresh ingredients. I Got the icy taro balls with grass jelly Taiwanese dessert.. added vanilla ice cream and pudding and red bean and it really hit the spot. Taro balls had great texture: My girlfriend was also very impressed. Nice people working here too. read more

This place is one of my favorites compared to the other bubble tea places around the area. The taste of the tea was very distinct and not too sweet (though I did order my tea to be 30% sweet). BUT there was just something different about this place. One thing that is cool about this place is they offer a "split sharing cup". With this order, you can order two drinks (only selective ones) in one cup. (Sounds crazy? Check out the photo attached). I got the Black Milk Tea and the Wintermelon Tea. Both were delicious, nothing out of the ordinary. Would I come here again? Yes! And I would recommend this place if you have not tried it yet. read more

Bubbles&Tea - Split Sharing Cup of Black Milk Tea & Wintermelon Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Mmmm... love a good taro bubble tea and when they hyped theirs as the "real" taro, I couldn't help myself. And, it did not disappoint as it definitely had more of the taro taste that others don't always have (as other places uses powdered taro flavoring). So, if you like the purple root crop, they have a good taro milk tea here. We also got the mango slush (you can't go too wrong with mango slush!) and a bowl of shaved ice with condensed milk and for our 3 toppings, we chose grass jelly, lychee jelly, and mango. The shaved ice could be just a little more sweeter or maybe we need to dig deeper to the bottom where all the milk may have pooled. Otherwise, it was a great find as we were next door at A & J for lunch and decided to get sweet treats here, instead of driving down for another spot. My only complaint is that the drinks are already on the expensive side, and I still had to pay for the bubble for my milk tea drink. It would be nice if the bubble were already included, or at least lower the price for the base drink. read more

LOVE! I ordered the rose latte and boyfriend ordered the earl grey. We try our best to try every bubble tea spots to find the best ones and frequent them from time to time.

Awesome find and glad we tried it. read more

This is a great find in the MD area for bubble tea and Asian desserts. Everything was as expected in terms of the choices, prices, ordering, and wait time. Loved that the bubble tea didn't feel powdery or gritty and the bubbles were perfectly done. We came here just before going into A&J and I'm sure it's no coincidence they are next to each other as their pair perfectly. read more

Love this. I love the Calamansi Tea (which is Lemon Tea ) here but this time i like the osmanthus oolong tea. Try this with the honey feeling so good.

Bubbles&Tea - 55. Osmanthus Oolong Tea with Honey .. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

This Bubble tea place is serious. When I went in at like 8:45pm on a Wednesday there was like 13 people working... I was like... whoh. There like a bubble tea convention up the street or something? The menu calls "Black Milk Tea" = "Black Tea Latte." I had to make sure I was getting my tried and true, so I just made sure that it was the same thing. The cashier commented that it was the same thing and that they also use real milk in their drinks. So yeah, I ordered my Large Black Tea Latte (Cold) with boba. Let me tell you, if you like a boatload of boba in your drink. You're gonna LOVE this place. I mean, fo real fo real. There was an aggressive amount of boba. I might have to ask them to tone it down just A LITTLE bit next time. But here's where we get the 5 stars. The black tea latte tasted freakin' delicious. I got it 75% sugar ( you can adjust which is nice), and it was just... it was just really good. The tea had depth. There were layers. I know... I'm describing it like a Beef Wellington...but when you've had enough bubble tea. You know. This place's tea is really something special. Also, I was watching one of the workers make it, and there was like maybe a 1/4 inch at the top from it being completely full. She took more tea from the top dispenser and topped that B off. You couldn't fit any more tea in that B. Trust. Like it had that like water surface tension thing. Ya know how you can like fit a bunch of drops of water on the head of a penny cause of the surface tension. It was full as full can be. Regular price for tea. I think I paid 5 bucks or so. They don't have a credit card minimum. Which is really nice. I can't tell you how many times I go into Kung Fu Tea, forget about the 8 dollar minimum and then buy like 3 mini egg tarts cause I have to make the minimum. It's kind of annoying tbh. I love me some Kung Fu Tea, don't get me wrong. But... have a credit card minimum that is like the price of 1 drink. Not two... It's like the HOV lane of bubble tea places. I need two people with me to get bubble tea. Anyways, really like this place. You will definitely find me there soon. read more

Bubbles&Tea - Jasmine green milk tea and black milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Great addition to the plaza, and it shares the same "main" door with A&J, where the left is Bubbles&Tea and the right is A&J. Very cute interior, set-up, logo, etc. There's a bench by the wall with a sign of their logo and if they modify that "blank"-ish space, I could see it be a popular place to take pictures. The drinks are average price, for both regular and large, around the areas, but toppings are a bit more expensive compared to other places around the area. You can add bubbles for 50 cents, but aloe, honey, etc are an extra 75 cents. When I got in, I first saw the opaque cups and I thought all drinks, hot or cold, will go in those opaque cups like Jin in Pasadena, CA, but it turns out they were for hot drinks and the clear are for the cold drinks. Still good, just cups, ha. There's both an English menu and a Chinese menu. Interesting items, with specials being a rose drink, a real taro milk tea, and tiramisu milk tea. I tried the peach oolong tea with aloe and 50% sugar and the honeydew milk tea with bubbles. The honeydew milk tea tasted pretty normal compared to other artificial honeydew, sweeter than bubble tea cafe, melon-candy like. The peach oolong was good with the aloe, but I could have used a bit more flavor. I'd definitely come back to try some more drinks; great customizations (ice, sugar levels) and some unique flavored drinks on the menu. By the way, the honey topping is shown with a honeycomb image, but the topping itself isn't actual honeycomb! :P read more

One of the most sanitary cafes I've been to during these past couple of months. Of course their drinks are amazing as well. I tried the Black Tea Latte and it was so delicious! I wanted something a little less creamy and sweet than milk tea, and this was the perfect drink! It had the strong tea flavor that I was craving, with a light amount of creaminess to it. I think that's what makes this menu a little different than other bubble tea spots in the area. I also really appreciated that they don't allow customers into the store-- there is a table at the entrance where you stand and order, and they sanitized my credit card before giving it back to me. Great service and great drinks! read more

Great new bubble tea spot off Rockville Pike! This place recently opened--it's right next door to A&J. The place is clean--it's fairly small, but there are a few tables and small couches to sit down and hang out. They have a great range of options for drinks (milk tea, green tea, lattes, teas, etc.) and a variety of topping choices. I was disappointed that they didn't have lychee jelly--maybe they will have it in the future??? I hope so! I tried the passion fruit green tea with aloe jelly--it was great! I always appreciate places that let you pick the level (100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, or 0%, depending) of sugar or ice that you want with your drink (Bubbles&Tea does)--I don't have much of a sweet tooth, so I always like mine with less sugar than the normal order. Not sure if this is just during a promotional period, but there was a "buy 2 get 1 free" discount--a great added bonus that I didn't know about prior to coming! I will definitely be back for more of their bubble teas. read more

Just want to update that I still would give them four stars and they are one of my fav bubble tea shops around rockville! I love their mint milk tea and rose latte (more than the rose milk tea), and love their strawberry yogurt. When it gets busy, it does take like 20 mins to get your bubble tea as sometimes it looks like they are understaffed, but overall, the vibe is nice and it's a chill place to hang with friends. Always a great place to drink boba at and grab a dessert at, especially if you happen to be at A&J's next door for a meal! read more
