Saw that there was a bubble tea place and was happy to find it was Bubble Tea and Juice Co. they have drinks that are always consistent. Their stand is about midway along the north side of the market. I stood a bit as the staff was sitting at the stands food bar eating... which I found odd. I ordered a coffee milk tea with boba. The server made it fairly quick and I have to say it was excellent. The boba was super fresh. Would order again. Yum read more

Update: 12/2/23: I'm not sure what happened to the quality and service but it seemed like it has gone downhill. The drinks were very watery and it seemed like the staff were confused at times with the orders. They definitely needed one additional person, at least one cashier and the other 3 making drinks. The line was getting backed up. I think from the time I was waiting in line to ordering my drinks and then receiving the drinks was like 12-15 mins. That's pretty bad. My food wasn't hot anymore just warm. When I went there, the staff was nice. There was a small line. Drinks were tasty and prices were standard. read more

I honestly have never had a good experience with this company. Smoothie bowl wasn't blended fresh. Just scooped some coconut puree already frozen into a bowl. Small amount of toppings. Their bubble tea always lacks in flavor. I tried it again because i got gifted a gift card. Id absolutely never pay for this place. read more

The smoothies here are amazing. We had the mango guava and I wish I had gotten the bigger size. Was amazing! Also in a space to try all kinds of food. Great atmosphere! read more

I got a regular sized lycee tea here. The cashier is also the barista, who honestly looked like she didn't enjoy being there at all. Lycee tea was good! Slightly sweet, but im pretty sure it was just a powder with water and ice. read more

They forgot to add the boba, which is arguably the most important part of bubble tea.

I ordered a Thai tea with tapioca pearls (boba) and no added sugar. The boba was very hard and the tea tasted like an artificial packet mix. I would not order from here again. There's better boba in the area for the same price. read more

The selection was very impressive and the folks manning the counter friendly. Unfortunately, they were really busy and by that I mean popular and we didn't have time to wait when we went back for more! The tea was very good, the people awesome, but a small space to work with means it takes more time to get through a line. They are worth the wait though! read more

This is my first time inside the Notth Market and I seen my favorite place with a couple new items to me. Ary and Garnet greeted me and my friend amazingly. Ary took my order a recommended me a Berry Blast bowl. Garnet gave some excellent reviews about the bowl and that's where I decieded to get it. My bowl looks so amazing and she took get time with it. Garnet kept the place in order and handled it like a boss. I would like to thank them for everything. read more

I've been a customer at Bubbles for 20 years and it's always been my favorite place for bubble tea until recently. They were purchased by another company and the quality and the reward system has gone completely downhill. The rewards system use to be worth it but now it's a joke. Every location is different and the Dublin store never knows how to work the rewards system. The past 3 visits they've either not been at the counter to take our order so we waited, there's only 1 person working to take care of everyone, they are out of products for our drinks and last time they served me my buckeye shake warm. I hen I asked for it to have ice added and reblended the worker acted angry would ask. Nobody wants a warm buckeye drink. We used to visit 2-3 times a week and now we're officially done, sadly. read more

Bubbles was just okay for me. With a plethora of authentic boba places back home in Phoenix, I was interested to try this spot inside north market. I got a black milk tea (light on the sweetener) with boba. My girlfriend got a green apple tea with coconut jelly. The black milk tea was really lacking flavor but at least it wasn't very sweet per my request. It almost even seemed watered down right off the bat. The boba at least seemed to be cooked properly but I was not very impressed. My girlfriend really loved the flavor of her green apple tea. She ended up with rainbow jelly instead of coconut though but she just dealt with it as she doesn't mind rainbow jelly either. Service was fine and fast. If you're in the mood while you peruse the market it will do but I wouldn't make the trip solely for this place. read more

I stop into the North Market on the regular and recently I was on the hunt for something to quench my thirst. I tend to walk right on by Bubbles because I'm looking for some hardy food. Not this time though... this was just what I needed. I took a quick look over the menu and glanced through the pre-made beverages in the cooler. Blueberry lemonade sounded like it could be just what I was looking for. It was a strong blue color and definitely caught my attention. Fresh blueberries bounced around inside the bottle when I grabbed it up and headed two steps over to the register. The staff was a little preoccupied during my visit. I proceeded to stand there for a few minutes while one girl starred at me while cleaning bottles, another cleaned up a big spill, and a third kept her back turned while watching the mess get cleaned up. I waited patiently and eventually handed over the $4 for my drink. I opened it right away and took a giant gulp. It was a little sweet (duh, it's lemonade) and refreshing, not too cold, and just what I was looking for. I would consider grabbing a drink here on my next lunch at the North Market excursion. Next time maybe I'll explore the menu a little further, but I really gotta be in the right mood for this. read more

Bubbles was another one of the great places we experienced while venturing in the North Market. I was craving something sugary, and one of their Raspberry Lemonades was calling me name. This place has some pretty expensive prices for drinks. Some of the bottled juices were more than $15, depending on what what put in them. I think mine was around 8, which is still pretty steep. It was good though! And made out of a few natural ingredients, which is really nice. I'd like to come back and try out their smoothies or tea! read more

Ordered a Thai tea no boba. They make it, with boba. Fine, easy mistake, usually everyone wants boba. The guy immediately recognized his mistake before I had to say anything. Then he proceeds to rush through making the drink again, realizes there isn't enough drink to fill the cup, and then pours hot tea over the iced drink, causing all the ice to melt, then hands it to me. It's room temperature cold at best. I ask for more ice. He cuts open the lid, and pours the drink over ice. Then throws away the rest of the drink (probably a quarter of the drink) I had already drank from. I asked him if he just threw away the rest of my drink, he answered "oh, you wanted that?" Yes, I paid for it. And now the proportions in the drink are off. I was just frustrated at this point and walked away. The newly made Thai tea was watered down, I took about 4 sips and threw the rest away. They were nice enough I suppose, but their haste to try to fix things just made it worse. read more

Could not be happier with the service. I didn't know what to get and Ari was so helpful in making me a good drink. Would recommend the honeydew tea to a friend! The location is also super nice and I enjoyed the ambiance. read more

First and foremost, bubble tea either is or isn't your thing. But let's talk about a different option that not everyone has tried: popping boba. Typical bubble tea is made with dark-colored balls of tapioca, which is definitely strange for many people. I tend to like it, but it has a time and a place. Now popping boba, on the other hand, is a cellulose-like ball filled with juicy syrup that pops in your mouth. I like both under the right circumstances, depending on my mood. I love the smoothies at Bubbles, but I hate sherbet (why would I want artificially fruit-flavored ice cream in an otherwise healthy beverage), and thankfully the staff at Bubbles has always been willing to adjust the ingredients in my favorite option, the Tropical Temptation, to accommodate my wishes. I also love the milk teas, Jasmine or Lavender, and that's when I go for the traditional tapioca bubbles. Bubbles also has a variety of bottled juices and wellness shots which I love. They're losing 1 star because they are always out of the charcoal lemonade that I want when I am there! Certain things shouldn't be on the menu and should only be in the cooler if they are out of stock that often. Overall I love Bubbles and I have gone to the North Market just to go there many times. read more

The first and only time I've been to Bubbles was many years ago, literally when they first opened in the North Market. I don't remember what flavor milk tea I got (I'm inclined to guess it was peach, as that was my then go-to flavor), but I do remember those boba pearls had a bad taste to them, nothing sweet about the gummy balls, and the liquid flavoring, while good, could not mask the foul aftertaste. I have not been back to Bubbles Tea & Juice since then. My stop in today involved a tarp milk tea with extra boba. These boba were a huge flavor upgrade from the first, being slightly sweet and a good chewy consistency. No, Bubbles is not, and never will be, my go-to bubble tea spot, but I was pleased with this second attempt. read more

We were strolling through the North Market and thought that a nice fruit smoothie sounded like a great addition to all of the goodies and food we had picked up. We tried the Mango Tango smoothie, which had a good mango flavor. In addition to the smoothies, they also offer bubble tea and cold pressed juice, as you may expect from the name. There is a refrigerated case on one side with some bottled options, or you can order a drink to be made from the friendly and efficient staff. read more

There are no prices listed on menu which is big oversight. Nice young man made me a chocolatey Buckeye smoothie which was nice and creamy without wayward chunks of ice a la Tim Horton's. No idea how much it was. read more

This is one of those places that seems to think that not putting prices on the menu is the cool thing to do. This is a well-documented psychological trick. If a restaurant is doing this to you, they are trying to trick you into thinking that you are buying a luxury good and so you shouldn't care about the price. It's one thing to see that in a five star restaurant, but for a juice stand in a market, that's wholly inappropriate. I want to see what I'm buying, how much it costs, and order quickly. With that out of the way, I tried two of Bubbles' vaunted cold-pressed juices: Trinity and the Magician. Both were extremely overpriced, at $8 for just a few ounces. Neither were enjoyable to drink in any way. Both came in bottles with some diagrams on them showing how drinking things gives your body nutrients, which seemed to try and imply that their cold-pressed juices were somehow better for you than other juices, while there is no real data to support that. Neither juice was something I enjoyed or wanted to drink again. I would not voluntarily drink either again if I was to be paid the $8 they each cost. Based on the pricing, marketing, and the drinks themselves, Bubbles seems more interested in extracting money from its customers by cashing in on pseudo-science than in delivering quality food. Stay away. read more

Bubbles is a good bubble tea place. Although, in my opinion, not the best in town, they have very good milk teas and a very good assortment of bubbles. I tend to always get the coffee or coconut milk teas, with coconut jellies or Boba. The staff is pretty friendly, and willing to strike up conversation while you sit at their bar. Friendly staff added an extra star from me read more

It's a running joke at this point that we ask for an acai bowl whenever we're at north market and they say they're; out of plastic bowls, blender is broken or they're out of fruit. Then we heard a new employee ask another employee about why they didn't have them available she said it's because they forget to prepare the acai mixture when they get to work in the mornings. Maybe take it off the menu guys--or get new employees. read more

I LOVE the north market in Columbus. It's just such a cool place, but the crown of the market is definitely bubbles tea. I have probably had bubbles probably 20 times in one year, so it was only right to finally Yelp them. I personally enjoyed my favorite drink; the mango tango but this time I decided to try it with strawberry bubbles. I can affirm yo, that I was not disappointed. Here's my homie Kat had to say: The service is always exceptional, I never have to wait longer than a minute to be served. They even have their own merch; in which I will indulge in. The flavor that she tried was the green apple; while it was good, by no means it was bad, but also by no means was it great. I also recommend the chai milk tea with the regular bubbles. It's the crown of all crowns even going as far as surpassing that of the queen of England's; and I have been to England. read more

I'm not a smoothie guy. That being said, my wife and children love them, so I grabbed a couple to go from this stand in the North Market. My wife and daughter really loved the Mango Madness smoothie, and I had a strawberry one hoping that the fruit would counteract all of the other not-so-healthy items I consumed that day - it's science... I really enjoyed my smoothie (words I never thought I'd say...) and I love their system for sealing the freshly made drink and the oversized straws. Next time I need to try their signature teas, as well. read more

This is a Columbus bubble tea chain. I really love bubble tea and this is the place I can go to fulfill that craving since I work downtown. The flavor of the tea is delicious and I normally enjoy what I have ordered. I'm sure that leaves you wondering why I am leaving a 3 star review then. Sometimes the boba isn't as jelly like as they should be. I've bitten into a couple where the inside is hard or powder like. I've also had issues where the barista does not get my order correct. read more

Worst. Boba. In. My. Life. (see pic) They overcook it until they are mushy and then pour hot tea over it (making even more mushy) and then to top it off, add ice and so much milk that my milk tea tasted like lukewarm diluted milk. oh my gads.... I seriously hope that their juices are better. read more

Taste: 2 Value: 2 Service: 3 I came here since I was thirsty and had been walking around North Market few an hour. Should have checked the Yelp review because I was really disappointed.

We had just eaten at Double Comfort, but since we parked at NM we went in to get validated and look around a bit. Not much time to browse, and we'll have to come back for some things we've been needing, but Sweetie wanted some tea so we ended up here. She had a peppermint tea and loved it. I tasted it, and it was really good: full of flavor, a bit sweet, a good winter tea. They apparently make their own teabags, and I saw they sell loose tea. There were some tea accessories on a shelf too. Service was really good- very friendly and fast, but patient and eager to explain stuff. I wasn't up for anything to drink but they had a variety of teas, bubble teas, and smoothies, and a cooler with root beer, water, etc. read more

I love this place everything tastes so good and they have so many different options to choose from I recommend going here

Okay so let's get things straight.. I love bubble tea. I had it for the first time year ago and ever since then I have been trying it when I see it. Bubble Tea & Juice Company had delicious flavor in their teas and juices. I got the Chai bubble tea and I loved the flavor! The mistake I made was getting the flavored jelly strips! I love the tapioca balls but the guy who worked here recommended the jelly strips saying they were just like the tapioca balls... They were not like them at all. Do not get the jellies especially if you have food texture problems. I could not enjoy my tea because I got them. Do not get me wrong though, this place is not bad! I just hated the jellies so much it messed my whole experience up. I will eventually get the Chai bubble tea again with tapioca balls and I am sure I will love it! GET THE TAPIOCA BALLS! read more

It's like a smoothie shop - only it's juice. Well...they can make smoothies too. You order from the menu or pick your own variety of fruits and they put it through the juicer. Yum! It takes a bit, so you must be patient. They also have flavored teas and shots of wheat grass, but I hate tea and can't stomach the thought of wheat grass no matter how nutritious it is. Blech! Bubbles can add boba balls to your drink - a gummy bear type root that adds sweetness and texture. Their freshly squeezed juices come in to go cups, quarts, half gallons, and gallons. I recommend the Cookies 'n' Cream smoothie that has Oreos and chocolate. They'll use soy milk upon request. Also, the hot apple cider! They're selling it right now, but it's only seasonal. I'm a sucker for cider. They have two food options: crepes and fruit salad. I haven't had either. You can call your order in advance if you're hurry. They have counter seats if you want to stick around to sit and sip, but that's a bit awkward here. Extra points for the spill-proof cups. Minus points for the hefty prices. read more
