The original boba tea is authentic. The cake is yummy and the lady who makes teas there is always sweet and thoughtful. read more

Unfortunately, this place was really not good. I feel bad for the poor solo worker, stuck working in a hot storefront. She was very busy and I don't blame her, but our drinks were disgusting. Like throw away in the garbage after one sip disgusting. The flavor was sour and the boba was soggy. We also paid extra for blended and they all came out just over ice. Would not recommend or go back. read more

I got one big chunk of tapioca pearls amazing tea tea and the pearls are good good food and quick service :3

We love this Boba!!! I got Butterfly Peaflower Tea with Lavender and Lychee boba pearls. My son got lemonade with Dragonfruit flavor and pearls. All the pastries are gluten free and delicious! Cashier was sweet and we played a little Connect 4 while we sipped :) read more

The boba tea doesn't taste like there's any tea in it. Its overly sweet and that's all I taste is sweet milk. They have to stop getting cheap with the ingredients plus there wasn't enough bobas just enough to cover the bottom of the cup and they are too chewy. I'll be looking for a authentic boba tea shop that knows that 'tea' should be the main ingredient. read more

Love this place! The tea is great and so is the coffee. Lots of options, ordering is easy, lots of places to sit and hang out. Awesome vibes, and the aesthetic is just so cute, the lights and paintings are cool. Everyone there is really nice too! Great service! This might just be my favorite boba tea shop! :) read more

Funky Fresh Boba Tea - Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Nokomis, Florida

I've been dating my boyfriend for almost 6 years and regularly come to Nokomis , how is it that my daughter who just moved here 2 weeks ago , tells me there is a Boba Shop 5 minutes from the house. Of course we jump in the car and head over immediately. Boba tea is a luxury and expect it to cost as much as a Starbucks or even more. We saw somewhere that on Thursdays, its Thai Tea Thursday for $5. However, We didn't speak up when it came to almost $15 for a Thai Tea and Tiger Milk Boba . Don't know how much each of them cost. But was cool and refreshing. So who cares. The young guy working was very polite and even offered us a punch card on our way out as we mentioned this will be our new spot. It is dog friendly, with water bowl outside and a dog treat bowl. There's a place to put your business cards if you want to network. It pays to really drive through these small shopping centers. You never know the gem you will find . read more

The drink has a lot of tea flavor and the boba is pretty chewy. They were running low on boba so we got the last couple in the batch. I felt a little cheated out of what a typical customer would've gotten. The drink also wasn't filled to the top :/ read more

Funky Fresh Boba Tea - Taro tea with lychee popping boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Nokomis, Florida

This was a very unique situation for me. Before driving 40 minutes to this funky fresh boba tea, I called to make sure they have boba and Thai tea. The man who answered said, "yes". I said, "ok great we are on our way". As I arrive and placed my order the girl said, "we are sorry we are out of the boba currently". My heart shattered I was in disbelief! I was so upset and told her we drove so far to get some and I called before hand. She said, "we can make some but it will take about 5 minutes." Unfortunately it took well over 20 minutes. I was a upsetting to wait so long. I ended up purchasing 3 drinks and I didn't even get offered one free drink or even an apology for everything taking so long. I feel like they should have prepared the boba when they knew they were getting low & not make customers wait so long. The Thai tea drink was delicious but not worth the extremely long wait. I ended up spending close to $20 If this was starbucks I would have been taken care of or even offered a free drink today or for next time for the inconvenience. read more

Funky Fresh Boba Tea - Read my Google review on this place! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Nokomis, Florida

Good drink! Yummy boba. Was as expensive as you'd expect. I will probably go back. Not great ambiance for working, though, which is why I went there in the first place. read more

I was really pleasantly surprised with this boba place in this small random ass beach town after a day cooking in the sun. I grew up around areas where there's a boba shop around every corner, but I've also lived around areas where the best boba you can get is a powdered smoothie with tapioca at your local Asian restaurant so I know to adjust my judgement given the context. This one was way better than I expected, I appreciated their creative menu, quirky decor, and Knick knacks sold around the shop contributing to a touristy vibe. I ordered the dawn to galaxy the mango starts and I really enjoyed my drink. I don't have too much to say, other than it tasted good, I was entertained by the idea of it, and I finished the whole thing. Granted I didn't try their tapioca, the staff had a good range of teas and flavorings, I will come back next time I'm around Venice read more

Let me start this off by saying I've only been here once. Hence, the two stars because I'm holding out hope that maybe the next time the drinks could be better (I'll review my second visit as well). I'm a hopeful person - it's my toxic trait. Part of me knows though that if one visit to a "boba tea" place gives you crap boba on the first go around, a one-star crap review is totally warranted. Because if their whole business is built around serving boba tea, oh excuse me, FRESH boba tea, then I would expect good fresh boba tea. What I ordered: Tiger Sugar Milk Tea What I got: "Tiger Sugar Milk Tea" How many times have I ordered a Tiger Sugar Milk Tea at other stores? An abundant of times. Too many times to count. But where did I go? Only at the milk tea capital of America - Orange County, California. So it is purely my fault that I am able to quickly sort out GOOD boba milk tea from CRAP boba milk tea. And this place? One sip already told me it goes into the crap category. Readers and good-boba-milk-tea sojourners, boba milk tea is an art form that is so deeply imbedded in Asian culture. And we also love sharing our love of milk tea with others. That said, when I was first dating my now husband and I heard him order a "blueberry slushie with no boba" at an Asian-owned milk tea store, I cringed in embarrassment and made eyes at the cashier in silent apology that my white boyfriend chose such a basic drink. But he has matured and I eventually married him and he now knows without a doubt that good boba milk tea should have fresh warm boba with a sweet delicate balance of non-dairy milk and sweetener. Even he knows this! A non-Asian! I love when other cultures try other cuisines that are well-treasured in other communities. However, when you start trying to profit off of that prized cultural cuisine, you better do your honest to god research and GET. IT. RIGHT. Here it goes. Tiger Sugar Milk Tea is commonly made with brown sugar syrup, black tea, and some type of milk. The good kinds have their boba soaked and bathed in this brown sugar syrup which the barista will typically pour and swirl around the inner sides of the cup before pouring ice and milk tea. The milk tea should be strong. It shouldn't taste old or like it's been left out too long. The tea itself needn't be too sweet as the brown sugar syrup will do the sweetening. And the boba? Oh, that's supposed to be warm and gooey. Not hard and old and barely edible. It's a hard drink but also a basic drink. It you claim to be a boba milk tea place, this should be simple and easy. You should always get it right because it's pretty much a classic drink now amongst the Asian community. Just...do better people. Yes, they serve "funky" drinks. If you claim other cultural drinks to be abnormal and therefore "funky"...whatever. Sure. But get it right. I see they also claim to make "traditional Vietnamese coffee" and I am itching to try that next because *hysterical laugh* it's traditional alright and very distinct. I'll see you next time and hope to not be disappointed by your, at best, very crappy drinks. read more

Horrible drinks. I paid $22 for three drinks that were all thrown away after several sips. Hands down the worst boba tea we have ever tried.

I'm no boba efficinato however loving this cute boba shop. My kids love it as well. There are a million flavors to choose from, they even have the poppin boba too. Enjoy some chessor just hang with friends on the couch or outside. Really love this treat. read more

The boba is really mediocre and overpriced. I got to try it once but now I know I will not be coming back.

I absolutely LOVED this place!!! They have so many options and I can't say enough good things about them. I got the Passionfruit Black tea with boba and it was DELISH! read more

First time having Boba. The young lady, Caelyn, what a gem. She help me get the best drink (Triple C) to my personal tastes, and was very personable. We had a great conversation and shared some laughs. She wasn't wrong, my beverage was phenomenal! Nice clean establishment, love the art for sale, just a nice experience. read more

Such a disappointment and irresponsibility on employee part! He sure seen us walking towards it and just got in his car and left! What a jerk! read more

I love that there is a boba tea place in Nokomis! I had the taro milk tea with boba and it was delicious.

I am not someone who likes to step out of my comfort zone often, so I'll admit I was a little skeptical when I decided to try a new boba shop I had not vetted out before. However, despite my reservations, I can attest that the boba here at Funky Fresh was both funky, and fresh! I was pleasantly surprised by the prices since boba is traditionally a bit more expensive, but everything was amazing from top-to-bottom here. I had a bit of trouble navigating the menu since I tend to be a bit of a picky eater (drinker?). With that said though, I want to give a personal shout-out to team-member Ava for holding my hand every step of the way! They were so friendly and helpful and overall just an absolute delight to start off my afternoon. I'll definitely be stopping here more when I visit Venice. I would highly recommend my friends and family to do the same when in the area :) read more

Super cute and clean, very fun and fairly priced, boba was amazing and tea was perfect loved the selection they offer especially for being new, very good experience will be going back ! :) read more

Best boba experience. Ava was very sweet. Would happily accept the boba again. Decorations

Cool place okay boba. The tiger drink is good. Wish they had cream cheese drink though.

I've been to funky fresh a couple of times and i love your boba and your costumer service, but lately there has been this short, curly haired girl that has been talking about inappropriate and illegal stuff while i was there with my kids l, and not only was she talking inappropriately she was being rude as well and thats the only reason im not giving a five star review. I love your boba and your services, but that worker really made me discouraged of going back to funky fresh. Sincerely Even A. read more

Really enjoy the drinks they serve. You can customize to whatever you like also. Looks good and tastes better. Would recommend to anybody in the area. read more

Nothing but good words for this place I love it so much I come here almost all the time!! And the boba is always good and never made bad. The staff is so nice. read more

Nice atmosphere, but overpriced. Two large drinks cost over fifteen dollars! Typically, we can get two large drinks elsewhere for between $8-$12. The almond milk tea was the right sweetness for my wife, but she suspects that it was missing the tea. I enjoyed the Starfruit specialty drink. All-in-all, FFBT satisfied our craving, but we wish their prices were lower and that they had aloe, basil or chia seeds as topping options. read more

literally the boba is bad- not good. The tea is just mediocre, boba had a weird flavor and was undercooked. Not a good selection of drinks. I've been to plenty of tea places to know what this place is just okay. Plus they literally rip you off bc they add insane amounts of ice. Won't be going here again :( read more

Our entire family had a great visit. The owner is a great person, friendly, fast, and professional. Kudos to this new business and check it out because they literally make it fresh! read more

The tea is good but the place smells like dirty feet! Almost gag worthy! I'm thinking the upholstered dirty sofa & the bean bag maybe a health hazard. Seriously read more
