Eat Bubbles is a small boba shop located near the center of L&L Market. There's plenty of paid parking around the mall, but don't get tricked: Most businesses in the mall give 3 hours of free validated parking. Eat Bubbles in particular has a QR code displayed prominently at the front counter to activate parking. The menu here is a little more advanced than the typical first generation American boba shop. They offer plenty of choices and allow sweetness and ice level adjustments. One thing I found to be nonobvious - all drinks under the "Fresh Brewed Teas" menu section are milk tea. They use lactose-free milk by default, which is a huge boon to people like me with lactose intolerance! Assam Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sweet, Less Ice w/ Boba ($7) - This drink has an interesting milk tea flavor that is a bit of a departure from a standard Assam. Instead of a fruity finish, this tea has a bit of a malty overtone, more pleasingly brown and earthy. It's a very thick drink and feels more rich than what only adding milk would be able to do. I believe they brew tea each morning and then fill individual pitchers for service. 50% sweet is a bit too sweet for my tastes with the additional sugar from the boba. It's not cloying, however. The boba is overall strange and not in a good way. The pearls are very inconsistent in both size and texture. In all cases, the pearls have soft exteriors, some approaching mushy, while others are okay. The interiors range from being too hard to almost mushy. The sizing of the boba is also variable, from small pebbles, to larger spheres. The boba is marinated for a long time, however, giving a somewhat minerally or perhaps herbal quality to them. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating 3/5 There aren't too many boba shops in Nashville, so while I wasn't enthralled with the drink, I think it's probably good for the area. read more

Tried Eat Bubbles and it was such a cute spot! We got the hojicha flight and matcha flight, and both were so good--perfect if you want to sample different flavors. The cat-shaped vanilla jello was adorable and tasted great too. Service was quick and friendly, and the shop itself is super cute and cozy, a great place to chill or snap pics. read more

Amazingggg! This place is so yummy! The drink variety goes crazy here. This is the best hojicha latte in town- IYKYK. For those who would like to know- hojicha is like a toastier, more caramel version of matcha. So clearly I got the hojicha latte. It was absolutely scrumptious- mellow and made me feel like I was being loved via beverage. The boba was also tender and delicious. This is such a rare find- well done hojicha is so hard to execute! The shop is also gorgeous. All of the thoughtful personal touches make this space so cozy and warm. I just want to be a cozy cat curled up in this shop, drinking delicious beverages all day. read more

My favorite boba shop in Nashville. The staff always helps me choose the perfect fruit tea. I typically go with Mango and/or Strawberry Jasmine Tea. On this occasion, I decided to make it a slush with aloe fruit as the topping. I don't typically drink milk tea but the Lebanese Tea with boba is one of the most delicious drinks I've ever had. It feels akin to Chai Tea with all the spices and depth. The boba is made fresh daily and it has the perfect texture. As someone who likes sweeter drinks, I usually ask for additional sweetness for my fruit teas. The decor is so cute! Perfect place to study, read a book, or have a hangout with friends. Seating inside of the shop, as well as within L&L Market. They offer validated parking inside. Can't wait to return to try another seasonal flavor! read more

This is one of those places I look forward to every time we're in town. Delicious!! Staff is friendly, the space is so cute, the tunes are perfect! I usually get the Ube Taro Latte with Boba and Oat Milk (gluten free)! One of the only bubble tea shops I've ever been to that seems to care about ingredients and allergens!! So many gluten free and dairy free options!! They also use lactose free whole milk if you can tolerate dairy, so that's dope! The different flavors are never too sweet!! The flavor is definitely prioritized here rather than just straight up sugary-sweetness, which I am so grateful for!! Until next time!! read more

We decided to try them out after our ramen lunch date. Wanted something sweet but not too sweet. We got their Hojicha latte and Matcha Strawberry both with Oatmilk. I really enjoyed their hojicha- roasted green tea and it has a strong tea taste....just how I like it. It's so good. Matcha strawberry was good. Their matcha is a bit different so if you're a fan of matcha- earthy taste, this is it. I enjoyed it and the strawberry jam gives it a bit of sweetness too it- not too sweet. read more

The boba was highkey mid here, but maybe we just didn't order the right drinks or we came at the wrong time. I got the honeycomb toffee, which was served lukewarm. The little ice that was in there to begin with had melted only after a few sips. I had to ask for more ice. The flavor was too subtle. The milk was overpowering. My friend's hojicha latte was also lacking flavor and was too milky. The employees are nice and the inside is cozy, but I really wasn't a fan of the drinks. The boba was soft & chewy, so at least I could enjoy that. read more

I've been meaning to post a review for Eat Bubbles for a while now--this place has been a favorite of mine since I first discovered it years ago (thanks to Yelp), and it's still one of the most reliable spots for boba in Nashville. Located in the L&L Market, which is already such a fun destination, Eat Bubbles fits right in with its fresh, feel-good vibe. What really sets them apart is their commitment to natural ingredients--everything tastes clean and thoughtfully made, and you don't get that overly sugary or artificial flavor you sometimes find elsewhere. I usually go for a milk tea with boba (the jasmine green is a favorite), and I love that they let you adjust the sweetness. The boba is consistently soft and chewy--clearly made fresh--and their drinks always strike a nice balance of being refreshing and filling. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, whether I knew exactly what I wanted or needed suggestions. Inside the shop is bright and modern, and there's a good amount of seating both inside and outside in the shared market space, which makes it a nice little spot to relax or catch up with a friend. If you haven't been, definitely make a stop. read more

Would recommend again for some good Boba and other sweet treats. 10/10 recommend read more

I love coming to Eat Bubbles! I have never had a mochi bubble waffle before. This one came with chocolate syrup and a topping. I got the egg pudding and it was sooooooo good with the waffle and chocolate sauce. I also got a honey comb toffee and it came with actual honey toffee on top. You can customize your ice level and sweetness level and pick your topping(s). I got boba in mine and it was the perfect texture! The staff and owner are always helpful and kind! I love that there's a little nook area and seating so you can hang out and eat/drink. There's also plenty of seating outside of the shop in the L&L market area. read more

This beautiful bubble tea shop inside L&L Market is my go-to when I'm in need of some afternoon caffeine in West Nashville. Lora, Blake, and the entire team are always so welcoming, and they have great recommendations for any and all preferences and dietary restrictions. I've been slowly sampling my way through their menu, and my go-to is a Thai Tea (which isn't packed full of artificial flavors and colors like others around town are). At a time where we're all being a little more considerate of what we're putting into our bodies, it's such a comfort to know that Eat Bubbles only uses high-quality, artisan teas, and its own syrups in-house using organic brown sugar. I've also recently been on a Strawberry Matcha kick. Before I tried the matcha at Eat Bubbles, I would not have considered myself a fan of matcha in any way, shape, or form. I just couldn't get past that earthy taste ... and didn't see what all the hype was about. I shared those concerns with Eat Bubbles team, and they assured me that not all matcha tastes like that. In fact, their matcha is ceremonial grade, and sourced directly from Japan. If you're like me and aren't quite sure about matcha ... you should definitely check out Eat Bubbles before making your decision. You can also find Eat Bubbles pop-ups at various farmers markets around the city, including East Nashville and Richland Park. They won't have their full menu available - but it's a great first stop to fuel up before shopping through your favorite market booths. read more

This is the cutest bubble tea shop, located inside L&L Market in the west Nashville area. The ingredients are fresh and natural. The drinks are consistent, and always delicious!

The seating area is really cute and it's a really fun vibe to just hang out for a bit. read more

Last week Saturday, was my first to Eat Bubbles. There was a little bit of a wait due to one of their viral videos on Tiktok blowing up, but we had no problem waiting. Their store is cute and quaint especially with the benches that feel like couches with tables in the store. Although the workers were busy, they were very friendly and quick making all of the orders. My friend and I got the Ube Taro Twist, i'll definitely be going back to get a flight to try multiple flavors. The ube didn't taste artificial, the chunks of taro was so satisfying to drink and the boba pearls were fresh. Being from Hawaii, I'm so glad I found a good boba spot here since I've been disappointed by a few places compared to back home. read more

stopped by for a Classic Milk Tea because who doesn't love boba! Was tempted by the dark roast options but decided on the Jasmine Green Tea with oat milk and it was SO good, such a yummy flavor you can really taste the Jasmine ~ subtle yet very evident throughout. Wasn't too sweet which I loved. Got through in no time and the employees were super sweet. They even let me know that all the milks they use are lactose free so big win for those of us, who IYKYK! The shop is located inside the L&L market, which has a ton of other stores and restaurants too, so while you're getting boba can always grab a bite to eat or just chill. Onsite parking is available and FREE for the first 3 hours (where do they even do that in Nashville anymore?!) 10/10 would return to try the fruit teas! read more

Visited this place a while back (located inside the L & L market), and tried their Ube Taro Twist and the Orange Creamsicle. The Ube Taro Twist has taro root, ube, organic sugarcane and you can choose the type of milk that'll be used in the drink. This drink was my favorite! The Orange Creamsicle comes with orange juice, vanilla syrup made in house and cream foam. They make only fresh brewed, loose-leaf teas using all natural ingredients - no artificial ingredients or powders. They source their teas from family owned tea gardens around the world and they make their own simple syrups in-house using organic brown sugar, not high-fructose syrups. read more

After my last experience, they were super friendly when reaching out to me and trying to rectify it!! The owners here do ANYTHING to ensure satisfaction and quality boba. I went back with my friends and our server was BEYOND friendly and so sweet to us, letting me try things and explaining what everything was and what she liked best. I tried the Ube Taro drink again, as she said it had a new recipe. I also got egg pudding with it as per her recommendation! She even let me try it beforehand :) The texture of the drink was so much better this time, with an awesome subtly sweet and earthy flavor. It's also a beautiful drink. There is still SOME texture to it, but that's because it's fresh and real instead of artificial, unlike a lot of other boba places! If you really don't want any of the texture, she recommended getting it with just taro instead of ube. They're super sweet and their bobas are very real and fresh, so definitely worth a visit! read more

The most FRESH boba tea I have consumed! The most kind, friendly, genuine staff! I loved how warm and cozy this place was. It left me with a smiling heart! *Note there are board games inside too! Definitely added to the cute-ness, makes it a perfect place to sit and relax while walking through L&L for a break* All the ingredients are fresh and delicious! No artificial ingredients or powders and you can tell!Being lactose intolerant it can make it difficult if there are no milk alternatives but everything here is natural, farm fresh, milk alternatives including lactose free milk, caffeine free options AND vegan friendly! I wanted the whole menu and I asked what they recommend and I got a Strawberry Matcha with regular boba and the lactose free milk. 11/10 best boba I have had in the Nashville area! Top 3 in my life! The fresh strawberry preserves MADE it! I am so excited to come back again, and again and again! (They have cards here where one purchase you can get it punched and if you order 10 drinks you get 1 free!) read more

Short version: Gluten free! Great selection of teas & toppings. Yummy waffles. Experienced Bobarista. Card only, but cash tip jar. Board games available. Cushioned seats. Pretty colors. Lots of outlets! First of all, great barista (bobarista?). Heard them handle the guest-brings-back-empty-cup-and-asks-for-a-refund gag with finesse. Everything is gluten free, which is a huge win for little old celiac me. Large Iced Thai Tea, 25% sweetness, with dairy milk is delicious, and the classic boba is actually quite good. Great texture, served warm, 10/10. I also ordered a matcha waffle, dry (come at me bruh). It's lovely! Slightly sweet, consistent texture, yummy. The vibe in the place fits with the rest of L&L market: lots of money in the decor, and rarely more than two guests at once. Will return, will eat more waffles. read more

Want to stand in line for 25 minutes, and get a $7 drink with a teaspoon of salted cream foam? And get a dry, plain waffle since they're out of ice cream and it doesn't come with toppings (or at least she told me no to the topping I asked for)? Then you get to wait at a dirty table for another 25 minutes for your drink and waffle. Overpriced, white washed garbage. My cup wasn't even full, it had a tiny amount of foam and it was in a straw cup so the foam was ruined (the whole point is to sip it). Not worth it, I'd rather make it at home, this place is terrible. read more

Excellent bubble tea with a wide variety of natural and organic ingredients, various caffeine levels (including decaffeinated), and more. The person working here was super friendly and helpful, explaining all the options and providing recommendations. They were also really knowledgeable about all the ingredients. It was so great knowing exactly what was going into your bubble tea beverage. The bubble tea is really great. I had the Honeycomb Toffee bubble tea, which was sweet and delicious. My wife had the Ube Taro Twist bubble tea, which has a nice flavor and just a slight touch of sweetness. They're also really helpful when it comes to allergies. They are very knowledgeable about the ingredients, all the milk options (including the real dairy milk) are lactose free, and they offer many vegan and gluten-free options. The caffeine levels are marked on the menu board, and they can modify sweetness to your preference. The interior is open and bright and decorated well. Eat Bubbles is located in the L&L Market, which features a variety of nice shops and restaurants. It is great for grabbing a bubble tea and checking out the shops, or perhaps having a bubble tea for dessert after enjoying one of the restaurants here. read more

Hands down the most delicious Thai tea I've had anywhere! I had the Thai milk tea (dairy) with tapioca pearls. Pearls were bouncy & chewy & big, tea was super flavorful with subtle hints of all the spices used in the brewing process which is so different than most places which probably use a powdered Thai tea blend & copious sweeteners to give it the sugar slam. I was taken by surprise on my first sip & it's not overly sugary either, which is nice. I have tried Thai milk tea everywhere it's available in my travels, Tokyo, Paris, Thailand, & here abroad. The styles & methods vary but no doubt this tea was/is my favorite at the moment. Also the employee was very nice & patient with me while I made my decision. Looking forward to trying their ube next time! read more

Visited Apr 29, 2023. Eat Bubble is located inside of L&L Market off of Charlotte Ave. The building has it's own free parking lot in the back. Walking in from the back entrance, Eat Bubble is located down the left hall. It's a small space with at least 6 round tables for two. Each table is equipped with an outlet located at the bottom of the booth's seat. I think the decor is also aesthetically pleasing. The bookshelves above the booths gives the atmosphere a cool sophisticated vibe filled with display books, ceramics, glassware, and baskets. Since the shop is within L&L, it's borderline loud (only during busy times) but not as loud as being in the marketplace itself and could be a good option to study or work short term. The menu had a lot of great options from matcha, classic teas to something fruity! We ordered the Honeycomb Toffee & Hojicha Latte Signature Drinks. Our expectations were for the Honeycomb Toffee to have a nice light brown color as seen on the website. The drink and honeycomb flavor was very light and we couldn't taste the toffee (photo comparison attached). The Hojicha came out great and was exactly like the photos before I shook it up! The service was nice as well. We're excited to come back and try the other flavors! read more

The best boba shop in Nashville, without a doubt (my standards are very high, having grown up in the Bay Area and going to Taiwan, where boba is from, every 2-3 years during my entire life). Tea with actual flavor, ingredients made in house, boba perfectly chewy. Absolutely love the ube taro twist, which is in-house ube paste, in-house taro paste, and milk. Usually get boba in it and no sugar. Never had anything like it before, flavors are awesome. Anything with the strawberry puree and mango purees are great too, I've gotten the strawberry matcha, jasmine tea with either of those, and lemonade with either of those. I love the lemonade here (I know it's not tea), because it's sufficiently sour and not overloaded with sugar. Amazing drinks! There's a location in L&L Market, and they also do a lot of regular events like the 12 south farmers market and Vanderbilt's market, along with various events throughout the summer / fall. People working here are also super friendly and helpful, willing and happy to answer all questions, and now offering samples! If you like boba, this is the spot to go in Nashville! read more

Been super excited to try this place. Actually went a bit out of my way to give it a try. But unfortunately was extremely disappointed. Tried the ube, the signature & matcha lemonade. Prices were high for sure but I don't mind at all if it's very good. It wasn't. The interior space is so cute and done well. There was only one younger guy working when we went in and he seemed a bit overwhelmed. The signature tea we ordered had absolutely no flavor, tasted like watered down old coffee or something. So odd. You can even see from the picture how watered down it looks. Ordered all larges and none were filled to the top as well. I love ube and this had again, barely any flavor at all and quite an odd sandy texture. The only one we liked was the matcha lemonade which was very tasty and refreshing. I loved the idea that they don't use any powders or artificial nonsense but we were so bummed. Having spent $30 for 3 drinks, just not pleased. read more

Been coming here semi-regularly for around three years. Easily the highest quality ingredients of any boba I've tried in Nashville. No powders, everything is natural.

The strawberry matcha boba is one of the best I've had. You can really taste the quality of the tea, milk, and homemade strawberry syrup. The boba was made fresh and was perfectly bouncy and chewy. The taro ube milk tea has an aftertaste that is a bit odd. Not my favorite on the menu but still tasty. Service is quick and the baristas are kind. The cafe has limited seating but there are tables outside all up and down the hallways. Overall a solid location for good boba. read more

Came to eat bubbles for the first time yesterday and it was super cute! Adorable decor, good vibes and awesome staff. I ordered a Thai tea boba and which I try everywhere. The drink is made "their" way and tastes more like a chai tea latte in my opinion. Would definitely have preferred that original Thai tea flavor! read more

Matcha and Hojicha lovers--this is your spot. Eat Bubbles in Nashville is elite. Their matcha is bold, clean, and earthy--just the right balance of smooth and refreshing. No fake syrup flavor here--this is the real deal. The hojicha is equally incredible. Roasty, rich, and full of that deep, toasted flavor you only get from properly brewed leaves. It's comforting but still light, and it stands out from anything else you'll find in the city. And the boba? Unreal. Easily the freshest and best-textured I've ever had. Soft on the outside, perfectly chewy in the center--never hard, never mushy. You can tell it's made fresh and handled with care. It takes every drink to the next level. You can adjust sweetness, the staff is friendly, and they actually care about quality. If you're serious about tea or just want something way better than the average boba shop, Eat Bubbles is a must. read more

Nice little shop inside L&L market. Boba is made fresh and kept at the front when you order. The staff is very nice and friendly.

Overall not bad but the staff there deserve credit for kindness and efficiency :) read more
