    Coconut bubba tea
    Estela L.

    If your at the mall and want a quick sweet refresher. I recommend this place. The line can get a little long depending on the day but overall quick service.

    This place has been our meadowwood mall got boba tea place because it's in the mall. We tolerated poor customer service for all the times we visited in the past. Today, we brought in our filled up oyalty rewards card to redeem for a drink. First thing the guy asked was, if the card has their address on it, thinking they are looking for a way out. Then after showing the card, they decided to deny again. A drink that probably costs them 25 cents to make and probably very few people even have any of them anymore. Disgusted, I left. Never going back to this average to subpar boba tea place. In addition my wife first try to get a boba they told her they were closing. We sat down got a different drink somewhere else. Then a few minutes later a line formed. Huh?!

    I love this place. Surprisingly enough for being located in the mall. It took me forever to find a Boba shop in town that I enjoyed. I'm a tough critic after growing up with several a stones throw from my house. This shop has super friendly employees who are always patient when a newbie comes in with questions. The lines can grow quite long because they typically only have a few employees. Customers stack up while they make the drinks. Then they knock the ordering line down temporarily and then go back to creating delicious beverages. I always go with milk tea. My only complaint is more jelly options. They only have 1 - assorted jelly. I was hoping to concoct a Thai Milk Tea with coffee jelly but alas I was let down. That's my only downgrade. They have a great selection of popping Boba which is nice. I also wish they had more of the savory flavored like the tea as they have many fruit flavor options. I should branch out when the weather gets warmer and try their tea or ice selections. In the meantime I'll keep delighting my tastebuds with their milk tea. My latest find - Mango with Pomegranate popping boba.

    Little pearls and pretty low to begin unfortunately

    So so so hopeful for this place but pretty let down. The pricing is pretty steep for a plain Jane drink I got a "dragon" tea with pearls (Half Thai and half regular almond milk) The fast is unfortunately terrible. I wasn't able to drink more than a couple sips. It's very strong / sweet and "fake" tasting The people working were nice and they seemed organized but it appears that either the recipe or ingredients or both are not good I've never not demolished a bubble tea so to leave this practically full especially after paying $5 and change on it was painful

    Finely making them... As they had to ask me my order-

    Coming from Hawaii I love Boba... But time and time again this places either messes your drinks up entirely- or as this time, just forgot to make them all together, while I waited until the very end when I was second to order... Then acted as though I was the inconvenience to them- Now I regret even tipping the little kids... should of looked at their rating no wonder it's a Star location- They hire teenagers, I've never seen an adult at this location...

    I haven't even drank my drink. Pretty much all ice for $3.75.

    I only came here to get Boba because I needed coffee. The Viet coffee is a bit on the condensed side & there wasn't much coffee. More ice if anything.

    In the mood for a little Boba? Wait, first of all - what the heck is Boba?! Simply put, boba (aka the tiny, chewy black balls at the bottom of the drink) is made from tapioca, which is a gluten-free starch extracted from the root of a cassava plant. The actual drink is made from a tea base mixed with milk and flavoring. This little place located inside Meadowood Mall within the food court is great AND they have coconut unlike their other location in Mid Town! The staff is always friendly and they are quick to get their orders out even during their busy times. Consistency of the smoothies is not always smooth...sometimes they get over blended which tends to make them more of a liquid versus being more of a smoothie. That doesn't happen too often but just something to point out. It seems like they did away with a lot of their toppings (by placing stickers over what they use to have) so if you're use to certain toppings at other places; be sure to check out their menu board first. Also, if you're craving that boba, make sure you get there before an hour or so of their closing time or else you might be disappointed to find out that they are out... They only cook so much throughout the day and if it's nearing the end of business hours; they do not cook anymore. If you do get there later, just ask them if they still have boba!

    Bubbly Delicious Menu

    Well after one of my BOBA loving friends left me a compliment saying that I been slacking on my BOBA Tea joint check in's I figured I'd throw a little monkey wrench in her program and review this BOBA spot I visited on superbowl weekend while I stayed in Reno. So lets see....well here is my review and the impression that The Bubbletea Station left on me..... To be honest this isn't my first time coming to this place, in fact I've been here a few times. Yes at one point of time I wasn't a Yelper....but now I am and its never to late to drop a review on a place that you've been too a couple of times. So why not leave a review? Okay here we go..The Bubbletea Station is located inside The Medowood Mall just before you enter the greater part of the awesome food court this mall has. This little operation sits kinda side by side with a Wetzel Pretzel which makes the ordering a little confusing because often times you dont know which line is for which business....but once you figure it out all systems go. The staff here is pretty friendly and have been the few times I've visited, but they are slower than a snail getting chased by an escargot hunter. Slower than molasses. I've never at any BOBA tea place I've visited here in Cali had it take so long (13 min) just for one boba drink. And the other times I've visitsd I had long waits but this time was asinine and it wasn't uber busy....what up with dat!? Anyway, it was a warm day in Reno, like really it went from being like in the low 60's to the mid 70's and thats a another...."what up with dat!?" so a regular Milk Tea wasn't going to be enough for me this day, a slush perhaps....Yes a Slush was indeed in order. I usually go for the creamy flavors, Honeydew, Banana, Cantalope..you should get the drift by now :-D but today I wanted to be a little adventrious so I went with a flavor I've never had at any BOBA place I've visited. Lychee was what was on the menu today and I figured..why not be extra on the edge and add popping BOBA to it, and why not choose Lychee flavored poppong boba.....BOOM! A true double dose! ($3.50) for a Large Drink and ($.50) for the poppong BOBA with the tax ($.31) it rounded me out to ($4.31) not bad, but that is where things kinda left me hanging. They over blended my drink, and the Lychee mix they used seemed they dumped way too much it. Tasted like I was drinking cold Lychee flavored syrup with the same flavored popping boba which made this drink way to much to take down. Honestly after waiting the time I did and to get what I had got....maybe I shouldn't have ordered this drink in slush form....maybe I should have just got in a regular fruit tea form....well that's for my next visit to find that out. With this one I ended up not finishing it and having to give this one the boot. Wasn't a fan, but in the past I've had pretty good BOBA from them. In conclusion, based off past experiences minus this one.....I'm not going to write The Bubbletea Station off completely, maybe I just came at the wrong time, or I really just ordered something I ultimately wasn't a fan of....at the end of the day I haven't written this place off. Most of it being to the fact that this for the time being is the only BOBA place I know of in Reno for the time being. It's located in a pretty happenin mall in a busy area of Reno with a pretty decent foodcourt. Ot makes this place stand out, once they can get more snappy on the service aspect then maybe from me they would see a re review coming soon. But for now it is what it is. So, if you're in Reno and happen to be looking for BOBA, go to the Medowood Mall and check this place out. As always, Yelp your own experience!

    Boba appreciation post. :)

    Bubbletea is my weakness. I always go for the milk tea because the "fluff ice" and "snow smoothie" versions are too thick for my liking and "slush" doesn't sound too appetizing to me. After trying nearly all the flavors offered for the milk tea I decided I like the green tea, taro and coconut flavors best! As far as toppings go...BOBAAAAA! There's just something about the texture and taste of boba that complements/completes the milk tea. I do think its somewhat of an acquired taste but man is it good. One time they were out so I opted for the popping boba and I was not a fan. Not only did they taste weird but the popping was disgusting to me! Regular boba please! :) I do like the mochi too it's just harder to pick up with the straws for some reason. I would give this place 5 stars without hesitation if it wasn't for the wait times/staff. 90% of the time they seem understaffed so the line is always ridiculously long and the staff isn't the friendliest (and by that I mean not a single smile sometimes). I understand everyone has their off days but it's happened a few times now... Anyways, I think two people should be there at all times, one to take orders & another to make the drinks. It makes for less stressed employees and happier customers! :) Totally craving boba now...

Loved the option to add oatmilk as an alternative to milk. So many variations to choose from! Service was fast and friendly! It's located in the Taste of Thai. Love that you can get a boba and lunch in the same location. What a wonderful treat!!!

    Quality/Quantity - We are already regular customers. See my…read more5 star review under Thai Lotus and all of my pictures. But I just noticed that even though we are regular customers for years, I have never written a review under your Oddcha brand! Today we got the following: Mango Supreme - 100% as suggested. Very good, but next time I will ask for less sugar as it is my personal preference. Strawberry Milk Bar - My wife's order with less sugar. She enjoyed her drink, but forgot to add boba to her order... Just means we will be back for even more!! My daughter is a regular customer; she probably comes TOO often. I see from my past photos that she enjoys your Milk Tea Boba and Mango Brulee. Ambiance - Decent size location. Cool decor. Oddcha part of the business is to-go. Well, I have never seen people just come in and sit to just drink boba. Plenty of mall parking. The restaurant has indoor/outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is being built and I did not take any pictures as the contractor would have been in them. Free wifi but I did not use it. The restaurant has a Gluten Free menu available upon request. Open 6 days a week from 11am to 8:30pm. Closed Sundays. Service - Great system, congrats! Easy online ordering. A text message when the order is done and it was on time! Slight confusion when we arrived to pick up. As the scarf of the bear covered our name and order #, lol. So the poor guys had to check every single order for our order. Can I suggest lowering the slip on the bottle...? But the guys were friendly and inviting. Also hard workers as this was a busy time of day. Oh - You NEED a tip jar; I just handed them a cash tip. Price - $13 each + generous tip. Expensive, but that is the cost for quality or really for the cute bear bottle, lol. My wife wants to save it and bring it with our travels (I hope NOT). Owner Comment - You have a location in San Rafael, CA...? Congrats on Thai Lotus success for the last 19+ years and with this new concept and two locations. We have been customers of Oddcha for years, just see our pictures posted on your Thai Lotus Yelp page. :)

They even have an air hockey and foosball table. The fact that they have halo halo drinks is definitely a plus in my book because I've been craving it and I can't find Halo halo anywhere in Reno. They had two options: Taro/Ube or Buko Pandan. I went with the Buko Pandan (if you know, you know). And my husband got the Tiger smoothie. The halo halo isn't the traditional dessert where you use a spoon and eat it, BUT I love the convenience of it being a drink and using the same ingredients anyway. I do like the Buko Pandan flavor so next time I'm going to try the Ube. The Tiger smoothie was also really delicious! You can taste both the Thai tea and the milk. It was on the sweeter side, but was still pretty delicious. There was only one employee working the store so it did take a while because a lot of other people showed up after us. But I'll definitely be back to try more things!
