Great spot for boba drinks. We tried the honey dew, mango and strawberry smoothies. All three were really good. They don't have seating right now because of Covid but you could still grab your drinks to go. Will definitely be back if we're in the area again. read more

My husband and I have been three weekends in a row, so I guess it's fair to say that we're fans. There are a ton of milk tea, fruit tea, and smoothie flavors to choose from, in addition to all the fun toppings. My favorite combo so far has been Hawaiian fruit tea with rainbow popping boba and lychee jelly. We also really like the lychee smoothie with classic boba. All of the milk teas are premixed, so there isn't a non-dairy option unfortunately; we just want a vegan Thai tea, is that too much to ask?! They also add milk powder to some smoothies, but it's not always clear which ones. Definitely be sure to ask about milk powder if you have allergies or dietary restrictions. But the drinks are fun and tasty, plus they have a rewards card we've enjoyed filling up. We'll be back. PS. Be sure to check in on yelp to unlock a free topping. read more

To drink, I ordered the rose milk tea with boba, half sweet. I loved the weight of the beverage and how the rose flavor really came through. So far, this has been my best experience with boba in the Raleigh area. It was a good texture and reminded me of boba shops back in Los Angeles. I hope they keep this quality up! To eat, I also ordered a bumble waffle with red bean. The waffle was delicious, warm and crisp with a fluffy inside. I liked the red bean. My only gripe is they served the red bean cold on a warm waffle. It would have been 100% love if the topping was warm. All and all a great visit. Looking forward to trying other flavors, especially the fruit teas. read more

Cute local place I recently found for bubble tea. I've only tried the taro smoothie so far, which is really good. Look forward to trying more on the menu! read more

I'm happy to have another bubble tea option close to my house! We went on the first day they opened and ordered the Rose Milk Tea and a coconut ice cream bubble waffle sundae. Both were good. The tapioca in the bubble tea was just ok, I agree with the poster who said it maybe needed to be cooked a touch longer. The flavor of the tea itself was nice. The waffle was delicious. Good size and nice flavors. There were several people working, and not many customers, but we waited approximately 10-12 minutes for our single milk tea and waffle sundae which seemed long to me. Overall, good experience and I'll be back! read more

Finally a good milk tea smoothie place in Raleigh! Must try. So so good. Taro smoothie was top notch. The batter used for the waffle was so so good. Not too sweet and somehow a bit light. It wasn't just cake, the way some Belgian breakfast waffles can be. The espresso smoothie was not sweet at all - so we just asked him to add sweetener and they did! Tasted great with boba in it. I wish they had a high chair. Noticed we weren't the only ones with toddlers and it's such a magical place for kids. read more

Awesome customer service and flavors and everyone is so nice and forgiving for speech mistakes

The tea is good, but the made to order sugarcane juice - this place deserves your business - we drive 30 minutes to come and get this.

Went to get the bubble waffles again (and more bubble tea ofc) and the waffles have definitely improved! Crisp, sweet and perfect. Definitely pleased and they're as I expect for Hong Kong style bubble waffles. read more

Stopped by on a trip to visit one of my buddies. I've had bubble tea at multiple locations in different cities. This place Is definitely the cleanest attentive staff that greeted me upon entering and open and creative space. Great bubble tea and coffee selections. Would definitely recommend to any regular bubble tea enthusiasts or to anyone else who has not tried it. read more

I love that this place is so close to NC state! Their bumble waffles go so well with ice cream and they're honestly addicting! Now that the close later in Friday's and Saturday's, my friends and I can get boba late at night. Most boba places close earlier. I've been a few times and each time I've been they've updated their menu! So excited to keep trying new things :))))) read more

They used milk powder for their milk tea so I didn't bother ordering it as the milk powder usually destroys the overall quality of the drink. I ordered the Mango Fruit Tea instead and sadly, I'm not impressed. The drink is pretty diluted. read more

Ice cream waffle cone was excellent. Reasonable prices. Also, the tea was good. Very fruity, much better than their sister company in Charlotte #ifuxwitcha read more

Excellent new spot off of Avent ferry!!! They have really great waffle ice cream cones that you can top with a variety of options. I got the fruity pebbles, but next time I'm trying some boba on top! The waffles are still warm when you bite into them. It's a cool space inside with great NCSU artwork (GO PACK!). They also have the bubble tea, which I didn't get a chance to try yet but I'll be going back soon to give it a try! read more

The boba I had was pretty good, but my experience is what kinda leaves me feeling iffy. - We walked in about an hour after they opened. From the outside, I couldn't tell if they were open. It looks dark from the outside. - As I'm walking in, there is this lady sitting at one of Bumble Tea's tables. She stops me. "Excuse me? Ma'am?" I thought she may be with the business, so I respond. "Yes?" She quickly changes tones and says, "I need money. Do you have spare change?" I quickly said no and opened the door to Bumble Tea. The lady? She tells me to go f--k myself. Really? I went into the business and ignored the lady. I told the staff what had happened and -- nobody did anything. I advised they call the cops since the lady is soliciting and harassing, and the girl behind the counter just keeps apologizing and tells her manager. This big guy comes out and I'm expecting him to go up to the lady and tell her to go, or something. But he doesn't. He just-- keeps doing other things. So I forget about it. I'm a bit "ehhh" feeling and I order. You just don't expect to be harassed walking into a bubble tea shop in Raleigh. Fine. I order a passion fruit bubble tea and ... it comes out to almost $7. SEVEN DOLLARS? That's really expensive for Raleigh and really pricey for a boba. It tasted really good and I enjoyed it. But my experience will keep me away for good. Yes, that lady didn't have anything to do with the business, but she is using their tables and using their facilities. If she isn't a customer, someone should have told her to leave. If that was my business and I saw some sketchy lady sitting at my tables outside, I'd politely ask her to leave or purchase something. But because they didn't do any of that and allowed her to sit there, she harassed me (a brand new customer) and the staff's response was so nonchalant it made me feel kinda unsafe. For the price and experience, I'll grab boba elsewhere. Thanks. read more

Nice sweet boba - a little starchy but not in a bad way, mild flavor. Got Earl grey, low sugar low ice. Decent amount of tea flavor, but I like it really strong and this wasn't that. Also got taro, low ice half sugar. This is the artificial taro flavor, which is what I like. I'd go low sugar next time on that one. read more

Great place for some boba or waffle ice cream. Such a cute place to sit and relax with friends. Service was excellent! They even provide games like dominos, checkers, tick tack toe, etc. for you to play while enjoying your yummy treats! read more

This is probably the best boba place I've gone to so far and I've tried my fair share of them in the Raleigh-Cary area. Their seating and space is perfect, not too small or cramped and the tables are a cute honeycomb shape. The drinks themselves are delicious, perfect strength of tea vs milk. You can even get it in a cute light bulb glass for just $1.00 extra! The waffle cones are also scrumptious and smell divine! They have games you can play with friends and enjoy the space. Overall, great place for some good boba. read more

Really excited that NC is opening up to new and somewhat trending foods going around, especially boba shops and bubble waffles! The shop itself is pretty cute and cozy, little hot but that's because of the outside weather. When we entered the young man (and other workers) who was taking our order seemed more interested in their phones. I ordered a mango fruit tea with popping rainbow boba, It tasted like a mango jasmine tea. The description of the popping boba was "strawberry, mango, and lychee" so I was very confused on the very distinct jasmine flavor and couldn't taste any strawberry or lychee. I also ordered a Waffle with vanilla ice cream which was very generic, the waffle itself had a great texture it was crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside although the flavor wasn't there. It tasted very generic like an off-brand waffle that you could get at your neighborhood grocery store, the vanilla ice cream was also very generic, more cream than actual vanilla flavor. Another family member got a mango smoothie and it was more of an Icee than a smoothie, the flavor was very syrupy. read more

For a newly opened store, I'm pleasantly surprised. The menu isn't too complicated but there are still plenty of combinations to be had. I got the classic milk tea with boba and pudding, quarter sweet. I wish there was an option for light ice! The classic tea was on the weaker side, milk flavored actually, but the boba was perfect. My cuter half got a grapefruit oolong with popping boba which did not disappoint at all. Service was swift, cute collegiate atmosphere. Definitely will come again. read more

Excited that there's a boba place right across the street! There are four solid choices in the area (Milk Lab, Kung Fu Tea, iCool, and Grand Asia Market) when it comes to getting good drinks with boba, but now there's a fifth that's in walking distance! I got the Honey Milk Tea with boba (of course). It was much better than I expected! It's right on par with Kung Fu Tea and Milk Lab, my favorite places to get some milk tea multiple times per week. You won't be disappointed with classic flavors! The Matcha with Red Bean and Boba wasn't exactly a crowd pleaser when my friends tried it, though, so take that as a warning for that flavor at least (lol). read more

Hello! My daughter came to your store Saturday evening hoping for a good refresher but she was disappointed in the service and quality of the drink as was I. I came in today hoping for something nice, but was failed by the amount of boba that was in it, they were very small and very limited they also messed up my order (times when I went in and came out with wrong orders, unsweetened and 0 to none boba). There are limited stores In Raleigh and Cary, this is closer to where I live and if you don't fix this you lost one loyal costumer... read more

A very clean and cute hangout spot extremely close to NC State's campus. Plenty of drink options and toppings; also they serve waffles!! Didn't get to try the waffles but the Thai Milk Tea was great, lychee fruit tea was made with fresh fruit, and bobas are perfectly chewy. 100% give this spot a try if you are a boba fanatic or looking to give boba tea a try :) read more

They have a variety of milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, waffles, and other options! I usually order through their online service through clover. It's usually pretty quick however, I wish they would add the option for their taiyaki on their online forum. When picking up I have to order the taiyaki separate from my online order which is inconvenient. If it took less than 10 minutes to make a single taiyaki then Bumble Tea would definitely have 5 stars! read more

My favorite boba place in Raleigh. It's so close to my work so I always grab a treat after shifts! I love the dirty milk tea with boba!

It was delicious- I live in a town where we don't have the option of any bobba tea- so it was definitely worth the hr drive . We got the waffle cone with coconut ice cream and it was delicious - my hubby got the green tea and I got the mango with bobba and it was sooo good. We also love the ambience of the place - we sat there and played a whole game of battleship and just really enjoyed ourselves. We are 36 but felt Iike we were chilling as 17 year olds again- so the place is definitely cool for any age group ... plan to take my daughters soon. read more

Let me start with the fact that Bumble Tea did not disappoint. As a boba addict from SolCal, I can say that the Thai Tea here is amazing. Bumble Tea offers the staple drinks found in many boba shops, and they also carry fresh squeezed sugar cane juice! They also offer ice cream and waffle cones (aka puffle cones) and a variety of toppings. Decor is a mix of cute plus casual. They also have board games and card games! Manager is super nice and opened to suggestions. Staff is also very nice and knowledgeable of the drinks. I will definitely be coming back in the future! read more

Slightly disappointing first time experience here. We saw the reviews, and we were really excited to try the waffle cones & boba drinks. We placed 3 orders-- two boba orders & one waffle cone. We were told to wait about 15-20 minutes for our order. After we waited, we followed up with our order to only find out they had run out of boba and the order would taken another 30 minutes. We were given a refund, but it would have been better for them to be more prepared (keeping in mind how much boba to serve) given that the shop was filled with customers. read more

I love the drinks here! Not too sweet and fit my taste. The bobas are also good and chewy, my fave!!! Didn't even leave a drop. The servers are pretty nice and friendly, would definitely come again read more

Love the waffles and the boba is good too! Having choices on the different milk options is awesome too!!

The triangle area in general has had a number of bubble tea spots open up over the past 3 years, which is really exciting considering bubble tea was one of my childhood drinks. Bumble tea, which opened up fairly recently, has a variety of drinks but what separates their business from others is also the variety of treats they offer. While I was there with my sister we had a bubble waffle with vanilla ice cream and pocky. The waffle had a somewhat hard crust but the individual bubbles of bread were chew and tasty. Our drink of choice was their Thai tea which was just okay with the bubbles being a little too chewy and the drink being too sweet. They offer so much on the menu that we've gotta go back to try the rest. read more
