5/5 stars purely because this is the place I go to when I'm craving boba. Even with all these new boba shops opening up, Fat Straws is the OG boba shop. They probably stand the test of time alone because of just how tasty their boba is. It's perfectly sweet, super chewy, and perfect every time. Drink wise I would recommend any of their fruit smoothies, it's a combination of real fruit and sorbet. Tea wise classic milk tea is good, or white-tip jasmine if you're looking for something more mild. Service is good and super fast. Tip: Grab one of their gift cards and follow the directions on the back to join their funactics rewards club for free drinks! read more

The employees are really friendly and they were really patient when taking my order. The shop space here is small, however it is kept tidy and there is always enough space to sit because most people just grab and go at this location. I ordered the jasmine grapefruit tea however I felt the sourness was a little too overbearing for the sweetness they put in. I personally love sour drinks however I would maybe get more sweet next time if I choose to get it. I ordered my drink with mango popping boba, however the topping itself it's too big to fit through the fat boba straw they provide. I was left with all of my mango boba after finishing my drink because I was unable to consume them. I had created my rewards account with Tasty cup over 3 years ago and when I gave my number; I was still pleasantly surprised that it went through. To my delight, since my birthday is coming up in less than a month. They gave my $5 off my drink order which was awesome! Overall great service and great system; however I might try another drink next time. read more

We tried Fat Straws for the first time on a recent trip to Dallas. We decided to try the Classic Milk Tea with boba and Peach Passion Slush with lychee jelly. The service was quick and friendly. The taste of the drinks were ok. My husband was not a fan of the Classic Milk Tea, he said it tasted like watered down milk without any tea and the boba was unimpressive. He didn't finish his drink and instead threw it away. The Peach Passion Slush was refreshing and satisfying. read more

My daughter n I went for the first time today and I got the Milk Thai Tea w/easy ice and easy boba. They made it exactly as I asked. It was so good. I also had the Rum donut. It was delic. My daughter got the strawberry piña Colada. It was reeeally good. So good that I may pick that next time. The staff was incredibly kind. Cant wait to go back.... read more

Love! Love! Love! A cute little boba tea shop that has the right drink to cool you down on this hot summer. There's several sitting inside the shop but sometimes you won't be able to find a seat. The Viet Frappe is always first on my list. They have varieties of flavors and different type of drinks you can choose from teas, smoothies, slushy or whatever fits your palette. The Viet Frappe consist of the perfect mixture of milk & coffee with a touch of sweetness to it. The boba always have the right texture & the softness to it. But if you order the slushy I find that the ice melts a little to fast making the drink taste water down. Customer Service is always . read more

If boba milk tea underwent cultural assimilation, you would end up with Fat Straws. For Christ sakes, they have a seasonal pumpkin spice milk tea. #whitegirlfavorite Fat Straws brings back very fond memories from high school (10+ years ago). It used to be the only place in West Plano, but now there are so many boba places. But I still like really like Fat Straws and it appeals to both Asians and non-Asians. The milk teas are pretty good, as the tea is strong and the boba is chewy and above average. I'm a big fan of both the Jasmine Milk Tea and the Thai Milk Tea. There are tons of substitutes for the milk (Oat Milk, Almond Milk, other vegan/healthnut/white folk substitutes that I don't care for). I used to always get the mango slushie with mango jelly. It's pretty good although I don't believe they use real fruit. The mochi doughnuts are unique and pretty good, although somewhat expensive ($2.50 for a doughnut). I am a fan of the black sesame, cookies and cream, and fruity pebbles doughnuts. Stay away from the matcha - it lacks flavor. If you are in West Plano, this is the place to be. But if you want the gold standard of boba, go to Onezo on Park. Drive west down park for approximately 10 minutes, and right before you hit 121, it will be on your left. read more

While Fat Straws is neither my favorite boba shop or my go to, I do love coming here for their... mochi donuts!!! Thank you, Fat Straws, for bringing mochi donuts to Dallas. While it's only available on select days, I definitely recommend driving out for them (it's worth). If you go in the morning, they have more flavors but they start to run out the later it gets. I went around 7 PM on a Saturday night and was able to get a matcha, black sesame and a strawberry. The strawberry was just okay, but the black sesame and matcha were absolutely amazing!!! I'm not a big fan of their drinks as I prefer the more traditional boba, but the mochi donuts are so, so worth it! read more

Pretty good boba! Compared to the other boba places I've been, Fat Straws is pretty average, but they whip up the drinks super quick so you can get on your way, whether that be to studying or home or wherever else. I also like how the rewards program is implemented -- you sign up with your email and you just give them your email to earn more rewards! No more worrying about forgetting your stamp card at home. Also!!! Don't forget to check in for an extra 15% off :D read more

Korean food post krave bobaaaaa! Chose the Mango chamoy slush with tajin. Came with a Tamarindo Coated straw. Server was very nice and smiled a lot, offered to let me try the teas if I needed to before choosing. Didn't take him up on the offer since it was late. He asked if I liked spicy stuff and made my drink extra spicy which was nice. A bit of a sodium overdose so if you're prone to acid reflux I wouldn't suggest it. Night cravings are cray and random. read more

Fat Straws has some of the BEST MOCHI DONUTS I've had in my life (no kidding)! If you're an avid boba tea drinker, I would say skip their milktea selection (they're too watery and too sweet in my opinion). Do get their slushes tho! Those are realllyyyy good! And don't forget to grab their mocha donuts! read more

By far the best boba tea in DFW. The boba are soft but don't fall apart. The consistency is perfect. The white peach is a great option - they freshly brew the tea so it's not from a powder like some places. The liquid jade tea is great too. I love the ability to sweeten it with Stevia instead of sugar too. High recommend this place! read more

First time trying mochi donuts and we loved them! Perfect blend of chewy, sweet, donutty goodness! Good selection of boba flavors and options. Love! Love! Love that I can sweeten my boba with stevia instead of sugar. Wish they had a location closer but probably better for my pocket book that it's out of the way. Bottom line: a little spendy for donuts and out of the way but I'll definitely stop in when I'm in the neighborhood read more

Great donuts! Get the matcha or the captain crunch! Not really a sit down place. Although they open at 11 (which is odd for most doughnut places) they don't have actual food. Just boba and the mocchi ball donu read more

Came here once and it was really good in my opinion. I love the mochi donuts and the different flavors they got. The boba drinks were very scrumptious as well. I will admit that it is more on the pricey side, just to keep that in mind. But it is very good and I'll probably come here again read more

Great quality boba at reasonable prices! Drinks: I really like their Taro milk tea & Jasmine milk tea. Honestly, the boba is near flawless to me. Some days I think it could be cooked a bit longer to achieve that really soft gummy texture, but it's really not that big of a deal. I haven't tried their donuts yet, but they look delicious and I've heard great things about them! Atmosphere: The spot is a bit small, but very clean! Service: I don't think I've ever experienced bad service here. The wait time for your drink is also pretty short as well! read more

It was quite the struggle to spell my order out to the cashier. I ordered the matcha milk tea with grass jelly and oat milk substitute ($6.44 including add ons), but the lady kept on repeating if I wanted boba with my drink. It was a loud, busy place (social distancing neither enforced nor feasible) and we had masks on, but the only thing separating our faces was a clear divider, and I felt like I was practically yelling out my order. When I finally said thank you and left the register, my drink had already been made! There was definitely a solid matcha flavor in the drink, but the grass jelly was inconveniently cut in giant slabs, making it difficult to enjoy tea and jelly simultaneously. I had to actively cut all the jelly with my straw to be able to sip it. Overall with the unremarkable customer service and drinks, this place doesn't even make it in my top 10 places for bubble tea, but it was very busy when I was there, so they must be doing something right--maybe the boba. read more

This is probably my favorite bubble tea joint in Dallas---especially with the best "bubbles." Whenever I'm in the coffee mood, my favs are (if slush: viet frapp, if iced coffee: viet coffee, and if i'm in the mood for something sweeter: mocha frapp) WITH BUBBLES. Whenever I'm in the mood for fruity drinks: I love their peach and green apple slushies WITH BUBBLES. Love their taro smoothie too...and mango slush...and strawberry smoothie...o heck, I love them all! For a lighter drink, their white peach tea is delish! Or strawberry green/black teas with lychee jelly. I've had one bad drink here: Thai Milkshake---way too creamy/heavy. They've attempted to make coffee milk tea for me twice---not what I wanted, but the other drinks are good enough to keep me coming back again...and again...and again. read more

I tried this place for the first time and ordered a Mango Jasmine tea with mango jelly. It was okay, I would go back to try others. Staff was also nice. read more

Been a loyal customer at Fat straws for 17 years now. We make the extra 15 minute drive because we have always appreciated the quality drinks and customer service. Recently, we noticed that they have been inconsistent with the amount of boba that they give. However, what's upsetting is that their one scoop of boba is very little. I can hand count the boba. Since they've been inconsistent/ not giving the amount of boba they used to just a couple of months ago, we left a comment on our online order saying "please give enough boba." The picture below is a side by side comparison of their one scoop. How does one have a semi- decent amount and the other doesn't? The cost of everything is going up and if we are going to be paying for boba, we would rather pay for consistent quality. We are really disappointed in Fat Straws and this will be our last visit. read more

OG boba!! been a customer here for over a decade and it never gets old. consistency and temperature of the drinks is always perfectly balanced, which i gotta appreciate because the wrong concentrations of any one ingredient can really throw things off. and although the menu may not state it explicitly, you can customize sugar and ice levels!! service is also excellent, with orders being ready in as short a time as a few seconds. within a mile radius of so many restaurants, fat straws is convenient to stop by after meals. its bustling location does sometimes make for crowded parking and seating, but lines move fast and people are in and out every few min. the amt of times i sit in vs. take to-go is probably 50/50. will be coming here till i die! read more

My go-to for bubble tea. I am a middle-aged white man who could feel less hip and cool around the young, trendy kids in this shop... I pray they allow me into their space for just one delectable passion fruit bubble tea. Perhaps if I just sneak in... Is there a back door? No one has accosted member or rejected entry. I think I am learning espionage techniques inherently. read more

I always love fat straws! Every time I got I enjoy what I get. My go to is always the classic milk bubble tea, but sometimes I branch out and get a different flavor! One thing that's awesome about this place is that you can actually try the mile tea before you buy it, which I'm so glad I did. I thought I would like the jasmine one, but I didn't; but since I got to just try it, no harm done. They also have these new cups that's allow you to try more than one flavor- so you can get your go to flavor, and try a new one! read more

It's okay. I think the prices are okay but there's better boba options around the area. Not a bad experience but no so amazing either.

We came here on National Boba Day and got some milk tea with tapioca pearls for a discount, which was a nice treat! We also got two mochi donuts/chewy puffs in the coffee and cookies n' cream flavors, and they were phenomenal and we keep coming back for them. They're always friendly and fast, love this place. read more

Fat Straws - Classic Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Plano, Texas

I first tried Fat Straws a few years ago after hearing nothing but glowing reviews from friends. Truthfully I wasn't terribly impressed even back then. With so much competition for boba shops in DFW, I never felt the need to give it a second try until today. I got an ad for their current drink special: Tropical Pineapple and Blueberry Pomegranate tea for $1.99. Awesome! At that price how could I resist? I ended up ordering the Blueberry Pomegranate tea... Oh, boy. Let's just say it was bitterly disappointing. Emphasis on "bitterly". The tea was so bitter, I couldn't taste even a hint of fruit. Seriously, the "blueberry pomegranate" part of the drink was nonexistent. I hate wasting drinks, but after forcing myself to have a few sips this one is going straight to the trash. I did try their mochi donuts as well. The taste of these were much better overall! I do think they felt a little under baked, but since this is my first time trying mochi donuts I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that the texture is normal. Regarding COVID precautions in the store itself: to their credit, there are signs to stand six feet apart in line. There are also face shields between the cashier and the order area. Unfortunately, the place where you wait to pick up your order can get crowded fast. It's not a big area, so social distancing kind of falls apart when there's multiple customers waiting and they have to brush right past you to get their order. If you do plan on ordering here, you're much safer just calling and requesting curbside pickup. read more

Fat Straws has a special place in my heart because it is the first place I ever tried bubble tea, way back in '06. I'm ashamed to admit that at first I did not care for the pearls, but that was not because of quality. I was a foolish high schooler who didn't know interesting texture when it entered my mouth. I got on the bubble tea train after living in China and now see the true value in tapioca. This place has been around for a very long time and the quality has not changed. They are fast, fairly priced and tasty. They know what they're doing, even if I didn't back in the day. Give it a try if you're in this part of Plano. It's delish. read more

Their coffees are great , they are different from another stores and I like all the donuts

Service is always amazing and fast! My favorite place for boba. Oreo milkshake with tapioca balls is my go to.

I was pretty excited to try out Fat Straws because it wasn't a boba chain that I have been to. Hailing from DC/VA, where Kung Fu Tea has taken over (like many other cities), I was curious to see how Fat Straws held up. I figured I would order the "safe" choice, which is Taro milk tea with bubbles. I was kind of disappointed in the taste because it didn't taste like real taro and more on the artificial side. That is my number one boba tea turn-off, so I was a little bummed. However, I'm glad I got to at least try out Fat Straws but I'll probably stick to another boba spot whenever I am in town again. read more

I didn't like my avocado smoothie last time (which they recommended) so I wasn't sure if I should leave a review but here I am, after another visit :) I tried their split cup with taro milk tea and original milk tea this time. I love their taro milk tea. it has some sweet flavor that I don't know how to describe - it's simply good. I didn't really like the original milk tea that much though. it was too bland. I like more deep flavor in my milk tea. my brother got the jasmine milk tea and that was good. I will probably get taro and jasmine next time!! I did really like the split cup so I can have 2 different milk teas without having to buy 2 big portions of them :) this place is pretty small but I normally buy the bubble tea here and take it next door for some donuts - it works out perfectly :) read more

Can here after Marygame Udon, which is across the street. Had one of the large boba mile tea that had little flavor. Give I've ordered half sugar and half ice, I was hoping for some flavor aside from sugar? Also ordered 4 of the moichi donuts. First off, they were short as half of the ones on menu were sold out. So I guess what they had was just the leftovers, which tasted as such. Definitely not freshly made. Wasn't bad tasting, but just very limited on the selection. Will try making on my own in the future. read more

I don't care when you call me, so long as you don't call me after you leave Fat Straws without my Taro Bubble Tea.

I've been coming here for over 10 years now, and I still believe they make the best bubble tea in all of Plano! Service has always been friendly and very knowledgeable about their menu. Ambiance: This place is great for hanging out with friends, but it can get loud some times. It has the casual mod vibe to it. Drinks: They've been consistent in terms of boba not being too chewy or too hard with the right amount of sweetness. I love getting the smoothies (strawberry banana is my fav) as well as the classic milk tea. You don't need to worry about getting extra sweet or less sugar since it's already perfect :D Will be back soon! read more

Had the classic milk tea with boba. Possibly the worst bubble tea I've had in my life. The tea was quite watered down and had a weird chocolatey flavor. Couldn't really taste any real tea in the drink. The tapioca was pretty good, but not enough to redeem the drink. My wife had the taro milk tea and said it left a sour aftertaste. I had a strawberry mochi donut as well which was interesting and much better than the bubble tea. I'd go back for the mochi donut but not the bubblea tea. read more

I appreciate the in and out convenience of Fat Straws. Sometimes I crave a little sweet pick me up and their offerings do the trick. Their menu is extensive, but even with all those choices, the Taro Bubble Tea is my favorite. The Strawberry Slush is pretty good too but there is something about the purple hued Taro that makes me order it every time. read more

Fat Straws - Taro Bubble Tea! My fave - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Plano, Texas

Cute little doughnut place... Oh but not just your typical doughnuts. These are mochi doughnuts. How would you describe these? They remind you of a baby teether ring back in the early 90's because if the way they were shaped. But let me tell you, one bite and it nothing like them other than looks. Lol. These little glutinous balls connected together to form a ring is actually a good concept. They are a little chewy but not tough. A good chewy, like mochi. Fat straws offers so many different varieties that I couldn't pick a favorite so why get a little of everything. Than you can wash it down with their boba teas & smoothies... Which I did not order. Can't really give you a review of something I didn't order. But the place was clean and cute just like these little mochi doughnuts... Clean and cute read more
