They have a pretty diverse menu and you can customize the ice and sugar levels to your liking. I got the matcha milk tea with boba and I was pretty happy with the consistency of the boba here. It was soft and chewy, just the way I like it. The milk tea was mixed well and provided a good refreshment for a long walk! Unfortunately, they didn't have Wintermelon tea when we came. Hopefully they have it back in stock soon!

Reasonable priced drinks which are out of the ordinary. Loads of combinations to try.read more

i love the location of bobo tea as it's a fairly sized unit in front of aldi and it's just…read moreconveniently placed! i see it gets really popular/queue can get long fast during lunch hour! the staff are really bubbly and nice! seeing the process of your boba/egg waffle being made is another bonus here! i always get the matcha milk tea with red bean & their matcha flavor is so good! some places aren't as authentic tasting but it's super nice here! they also serve matcha soft serve which is really nice as well! i think what's most interesting is the egg waffles which seem to be a huge hit with younger customers! i've seen the cookies & cream one get ordered a lot! overall, i think bobo tea is one of the better bubble tea shops around manchester/arndale! if you haven't gotten the chance to try it for yourself, i think now is the time to!! the prices are relatively cheaper than most others but i think it's well worth it because you can customize also!

I have been wanting to check out Bobo tea for a while and today I did, honestly I want to start by…read morethe name : "I love BoBo tea", I feel this name is quite deluded and arrogant because it is basically saying you love it and if you don't you are stupid. I feel this is more of a slogan than a name of a company as it doesn't give a good vibe. Bobo Tea would be much better with that as a slogan. This is like a popup shop in the Manchester Arndale near Greggs and Subway. They do normal tea, iced tea, bubble tea and you can also put some sort of jelly in them. They is no seating with this being a pop-up sort shop just in the Arndale and not a separate store hence isn't the place to go to relax while shopping, and sit down with a cup of tea. The Iced Teas are made fresh and they normally use fruits like Strawberry, Kiwi and Lemon. My barisa (Can I use that term? They are making drinks?), put in a teabag and then some strawberry syrup and ice. My iced tea was a little watery but the flavour was still quite nice. The straw was a big, fat pink one like what you get with a Mcflurry and I feel it was a little difficult to drink out of it. The staff didn't really sound out, they were relativley busy but they was loads of them to be able to cope with the demand, probably more servers than customers so they could of had a chat with me. This is probably one of the best places to get an iced tea in Manchester but still I feel this place only deserves 3 stars, and that is being generous as the staff don't really stand out, it is a little pricey at £2.50 for a medium tea, they is no where to sit hence this place is one to get a drink to have going round the arndale rather than a place to sit down and relax.

First time here and this place is surprisingly good, which I was not expecting at all. Got here on…read morea weekday afternoon and there was a surprisingly good amount of people but we were able to make and get our order fairly quickly. I ordered the Black Sesame Tapioca Milk Tea and I appreciate that it already came with boba. At first, I thought the drink was a bit too sweet for my taste but after mixing in the sesame, the drink got much better. I really love how thick the sesame flavor was and I appreciate that you can taste all the sesame seeds to it. Beyond the milk tea, I really appreciate the decorations in the milk tea shop down to the printed shiba and logo name on the straw. Also the cover for the milk tea was actually so cute. Definitely would come back to try all their different milk teas.

The matcha milk tea here is really nice, it tasted a bit sweeter than Chatime despite having mine with no sugar, but it did taste good and they have a good variety of flavours and toppings available. The prices are also reasonable, plus they have that essential loyalty card! Service was good, the staff were friendly and they accept card payment. Overall nice bubble tea a bit more on the sweeter side amongst all the boba shop competition in Chinatown.

Bubble tea never tasted this good ... well it kind of tastes the same wherever you go in the world…read more(apart from how much sugar and ice you ask for) - but this is a good thing - as bubble tea rocks - big style! Nestled in a back street in China Town, you need to go underground to a den of tastiness which would actually make you think you's stepped into the Far-East. We're talking about Chinese news on the tv, everything in Mandarin/Cantonese and basically loads of hustle and bustle going on from the regular patrons. I got mine to go - choosing the honeydew melon flavour from the many many flavours and offer - went for half sugar and tapioca pearls (everything is customisable) - for £3.50 (regular size is £3) it was was well worth it due to the bubbly pleasure it brought me! Nice work ICFT

Then I called them to talk about the situation, the first staff just hanged up immediately (I don't know why). I called again, the second staff didn't show the respect to customers, he sounded kind of impatient. When I told him that there's another comment in bigfoodie showed others also had the same situation as me, the staff only said it would not 100% happen without any apologetic attitude. The final solution is that the additional thing will be added in my next order, but I will not order it again though. Such a nice experience!

I know there is a bubble tea place in west one, which I've tried and bubbleology in Meadowhall which I haven't been to yet! I didn't want order via deliveroo to incur delivery charge and wanted to see what the place is like. I hadn't been into orchard square before but found the shop. It was quiet but it was 6pm. I ordered pineapple green tea, and was told I could have half n half toppings so I had one of the jellies and tapioca pearls! She put it in a bag for me n let me choose my own straw! So I picked pink!!! Lol The assistant told me they'd been open a year!! But then I don't go to Sheffield that often but it's a good find! The drink, it does taste strongly of tea, and closer inspection the jellies are star shaped!! Cute!! I wish I had been more Adventurous and tried something more exotic!! But I've come down with man flu so taking it easy!! Lol

I meant to come more than once, but time was always of the essence, so I was glad to have gone at least once. This location has limited hours, and closes at 5 pm on weekdays I believe. The employees said there's another location in the shopping center (which I assume is open later), but I never went to that one. Seems like the old pics on this biz profile might be that actual brick & mortar. I got 2 drinks: the Honey Mooboo Classic Milk Tea with Oatmilk and Boba, and the Green Apple Mango Fruit Tea with Popping Lychee. The fruit tea was super sweet! I feel like it still would have been sweet if I added a full cup of water to it! The Mooboo Classic was okay. Just tasted like a regular milk tea to me. Service was fast as there was only 1 party ahead of me. I'm saddened that I didn't have time to try their other drinks, but hopefully I'll be back one day so I can. Prices here line up with prices back in the US. Hopefully my next experience will be better.
