    what the drink looked like..

    i love going to this place but oh my gosh have they disappointed me. i ordered the caramel chocolate shake and it tasted and looked like water. this is about the third time this has happened and its always the same guy making the drink.

    Drinks are pretty good. They offer board games in the back. Nice and quiet on weekdays. Medium size groups of 4-6 people can enjoy sitting and chatting. However, the tables are small. If you wanted to study as a group or play elaborate games where you need a larger table, you would need to push the tables together. (Obviously, don't be a d*ck and push them back afterwards.) STUDY Fast, free reliable wifi. The wifi password is upfront where you order. There's plenty of outlets to charge your devices.

    Plenty of parking and nearby lotsa food places like ramen, Korean corn dogs, sandwich shops. The space is big and allows for sitting and hanging out. There's a shelf with board games. Clean bathrooms. Consistent boba tea and friendly owners. We came on Rex's birthday party.

    Very clean establishment, nice service, refreshing matcha green tea latte! I finished mine quick, I should've gotten a large. Definitely beats Starbucks. Nothing more or less to say, I'd recommend and visit again.

    Terribly sad service. Wanted to try out the new boba place but we left disappointed. We ordered a milk tea and passion fruit slush & a cheesecake that was given to us when we paid. We waited 40 mins for our order to be called for our drinks. We thought it was normal because everyone else was waiting too. After a while I noticed the place started to clear up. I finally went up to the counter to ask & the young lady with glasses asked for my receipt. When she saw my receipt she told me it had been ready but she thought it was missing an item (cheesecake). The slush had melted and my milk tea had separated. We were sitting right in front of the counter. She could've said something! NEVER AGAIN.

    Great atmosphere, drinks, and staff! Definitely a great place to work or study with tons of outlets and light. Try their dirty brown sugar milk tea and a matcha bubble waffle (with a side of milk foam ;))

    Stopped at Karma next door and came here to get a drink. It's new so I wanted to try it out. I got the lemon ai Yu white pearl drink. It was light and refreshing. I didn't know what the ai yu jelly was, so I asked and they offered me a sample. It was a light gelatin, a little softer than jello. I'm not sure how to fully describe it, but I ended up getting the drink it's featured in. The drink had the jelly, white boba pearls (I think it was the same as crystal boba at other places) and a lemon syrup. There were pieces of lemon in the syrup. It was a water based drink, so the syrup was the main flavor. It was like a next level lemonade. They had a few games you could take to a table and play. It's a pretty good sized dining area for a tea shop. I went on the weekend of lunar new year and they were giving red envelopes with surprise coupons inside. I'm happy to see more diverse places opening up closer to my house. I'll definitely be back.

    I was really craving boba tea so I came here. The people at the register took a while to take my order because they were more focused on their conversation even though I was right in front of them. I got a milk tea and it spilled because it wasn't sealed all the way. I called and explained the situation and thankfully they were able to give me another one but when I got home and tried the milk tea it wasn't good quality. It tasted like pure milk and it was bitter, not sweet at all. I should've just went to M tea.

    This is my second time here and the first was for the Lunar New Year's event. It's really cozy location, the staff is very kind and make your orders in a fashionable time! They provide free wi-fi and have several outlets if you need to charge your phone or anything else- this place would really be a great studying space. In the back they provide a few card and board games to play with if you plan to stick around longer with friends and/or family Their drinks are amazing and what I had so far (Peach Yogurt Drink w/ Star Jelly and Cool Mint Milk Tea w/ Pearls) did not disappoint me at all!

Maybe it's just because I go during off hours, but this location doesn't feel as lively as it used to back in the early 2000s. That said, the drinks here are always consistent, and I've never had any issues with their service. I really should take advantage of this spot more often when I'm in the area. For this location, there was only one time they ran out of boba and had to substitute with another topping... this was frustrating because seriously, how you gonna run out of boba?! Come on! Other than that, the shop is always clean and usually pretty empty when I visit, which is actually kind of nice. I usually go for the QQ Happy Family milk tea. It's my favorite across all the locations. But now I'm most upset they took this item off their menu and no longer even have the toppings to custom order this drink... this is such a huge disappointment as I only order this particular drink. I guess I'll have to find a new temporary favorite before they decide to change up their menu again...

Both the drinks I ended up getting were DELICIOUS so I can definitely recommend. Did not try any of the baked goods so I can't speak for those but the drinks are worth it, if you're nearby.

    I've been to Bambu a few times, and unfortunately the experience has been really inconsistent…read more The first visit was great, which is why I came back. But on a later visit, the customer service was disappointing. The employee taking our order was distracted and chatting with coworkers, and our order was entered incorrectly. When we politely pointed it out, there was no effort to fix the mistake or even acknowledge it--just pushback and a lack of professionalism. Another visit closer to closing time was even more frustrating. The floor had just been mopped with no warning sign, which is a safety concern. When we tried to order, we were told multiple items were already put away, and it felt like we were inconveniencing them just by being there--even though it was still well before closing. Overall, the atmosphere feels unwelcoming at times, and the customer service doesn't match what you'd expect. It's disappointing because the drinks themselves are good, but the experience makes it hard to want to come back.
