Ordered the Tutti Frutti drink with boba. The drink itself was very refreshing, and came in a nice color. The service was efficient and friendly. The ambiance was very cozy, and a great place to study or hangout with friends! Nice instrumental music in the background, free wifi available, and numerous places to sit. read more

Hello Boba - S7. Tutti Frutti - Bubble Tea Near Me - Allen, Texas

The drinks are really good, they have a pretty big variety but some of the staff don't have the best attitude or patience

Arrived at 8:25 and doors were already locked with lights off. Posted hours on door and online state 9:00. Seems about par with other reviews about them opening late. read more

Hello Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Allen, Texas

Note 3 stars is an average rating signifying that nothing is bad but nothing went beyond expectations. I got exactly what I expected coming here. I wanted to hit the closest boba spots while I was on a trip in Texas and Hello Boba was the first on this list. I'd say it was a good starting point as I wasn't disappointed, but I do think there's room to improve. Drinks can be a bit pricey at $6.50 for a large, however this may be standard in Texas. I have some biased perspective from all the Seattle boba where that's considered expensive. Honey boba has a light coating and a firm chewiness not the bouncy kind but still good. granted my boba was fresh as i had to wait 10 mins. tea is light and pretty typical but on the sweeter side. even at 50% sugar it felt like 100%. smooth consistency though but very standard tea, milk, and sugar. Also tried a berry smoothie and it wasn't blended the best (a bit chunky), but in the end it followed through the straw fine. The consistency of the smoothie could have been better though and it also did not fill up the cup, leaving some pockets of air. read more

this place is good but the opening shift is always late, i saw 15 people walk up and try to get in but it was locked with no explanation.

We came here after a long day of playing tennis and I didn't want to drive to our usual boba place as it would have been out of our way from driving back home. The reviews were promising so we stopped here to get some drinks. Sooooo the 4 star rating is for their delicious and refreshing tea. But if I would have to rate their boba tea it would be a 3 star. There are way better boba tea places and unfortunately their tapioca is lacking the texture and taste. But nevertheless their tea (rose of Texas) was amazing. Refreshing, tangy and perfect for a hot day. Almost reminded me of the strawberry tea at Starbucks. read more

Hello Boba - Delicious and so refreshing! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Allen, Texas

Nothing too special, but it does the job. I was headed to a meeting in McKinney and found Hello Boba right off of 75. I've passed this location before and I was craving boba so I stopped on by. The shop was simple. They had couches, some games and TVs. It definitely looks catered to a high school hang out. I tried the taro milk tea. Pretty normal and probably made with powder. The boba wasn't as soft as I would have liked it. But again, it did the job and I got my boba tea fix. If I ever go back, I'll ask the staff for their specialty drink. It's one of the few boba places in Allen, so if you live in the area, then it may be your best choice. But if you are looking for more unique boba places, keep driving south on 75 to Plano. read more

First time here: 2.5/5 stars it's was okay. I ordered through the Yelp app and waited so long and then arrived here and still wasn't ready. Had to go inside and tell them I was picking up and they finally stared making the 2 drinks I ordered. Today was the second time here: I decided to give this place another shot. I tried to order a BASIC taro milk with boba tea, I asked if it could be made with black tea (like most places do!) he gave me nasty look and said no. So I did not order my drink. However, I still managed to order a drink for my wife and it was this green tea in this picture. She not only hated the drink but she hated their service. The drink tasted too sweet and all syrup. The popping boba was horrible it tasted like soap and chemicals. Never will support this local place again. If I could give it 0/5 I would. read more

I had the Vietnamese coffee with boba. It was good, but the price is a little too steep. Can't buy this everyday for sure. I asked the fella for a frequent flyer card. He was a little hesitant initially, but gave me one. I will be back because my beautician is next door! So good move to give me a punch card! This place is nothing special. But it could be!! 2018/48 read more

Not sure how it would taste with less sugar/sweetness, but I wish I had gotten it less sweet! The taro flavor wasn't very strong and was overpowered by a sweet cereal milk taste. Pom pom was refreshing but it was super sweet towards the bottom where the jelly was. read more

2.5/5 I got the Classic Milk Tea. There was a little tea flavor in there but overall the drink was more milky and sweet. I did get the default sugar (what I usually do the first time I try a place out) and in my opinion is sweet compared to default sugar amounts at many other boba locations. The boba itself was decent and had some flavor to it. It was not mushy or overly chewy so that's better than a lot of other places! read more

Hello Boba - Classic Milk Tea w/boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Allen, Texas

Hello Boba has a bright, colorful interior and a really friendly staff. Unfortunately, the bubble tea itself was a disappointment. I ordered the Thai Tea with honey boba because that's usually a safe bet when trying a new bubble tea place. However, the tea was seriously lacking in flavor and the boba was stale and clumped together. Hopefully my experience was a one off but I would not be recommending it to a friend. read more

I got the taro milk tea. Tapioca pearls seemed smaller .. and chewier ? Overall service was fast, it tasted like all the other bobas. Only one family there , books on the other side for ppl to read. Around $4 something cents maybe should have tried the smoothie taro ? Tho for the drink only finished it halfway and placed it in my fridge , too sugary like all bobas. Got my fix tho read more

This is one of the newer boba places close to my house and I really wanted to check it out. To my surprise it was Really Good! I aimed towards the fruity tea bobas and my husband got the milk tea and coffee bobas. The bobas are always free which is a plus. Granted it's usually 50 cents more but still. Free is free! I've tried the S6 and the S1. The S6 has a rich rose taste which was surprisingly tasty and not too sweet. The S1 had a lot of stuff: boba, lychee jelly, fruit bites, seeds, but I loved having a lotta stuff in there. The boba is on point and chewy and you know it's fresh cuz you can taste warmth when you chew on it. The Vietnamese coffee and the dirty milk tea had a specific richness where the flavor isn't lacking at all. My husband and I were very impressed and we can't wait to go back. There's plenty of seating available and even a play area in the back for kids. There's even a couch and a Nintendo switch where you can play video games which I thought was pretty neat. The service is plenty friendly and super helpful if you don't know which one to pick. And last but not least, the film covering the drink is just the right amount of plastic to where when you poke through it with your straw it's not too strong where you need a lot of force, but it's strong enough to withstand accidental tears or tear too much to where there's room for leakage! That's probably not that important to some, but it kills me when some of my drink sleeps out and I have to slurp my tea on top of the plastic. When I can't make it to my other favorite place, this is the place to go to fulfill my boba needs. read more

First time here. Cool drinks. I probably should've said a little less sugar but we both still enjoyed our drinks and will be back read more

I am very happy to have a bubble tea spot in this area! I want to start with the service - this is a family-owned boba joint. And the service is awesome! The couple here is trying to accommodate the need of every customer! They are extremely helpful and nice, especially if you don't know which drink to pick. It was my second time there last week-end.The owners remembered me and even knew what I ordered the first time. Kid-friendly environment with books, Lego station, board and video games. Clean and cute design. Not very spacious but very effective use of space. Drinks here are delicious. I am not a bubble tea expert yet but I enjoyed what I tried. Both times the drinks were a bit too sweet to me but the owner promised to add less sugar next time. Don't forget to ask about their loyalty card. You will get a stamp for every drink you purchase. Collect 10 stamps and you will get one FREE drink. This will be my go-to bubble tea spot when I am in Allen. read more

Jeez. Called on Christmas Eve to ask if they were open. They said "yes, we are--until 8." Well, clearly not, because we showed up at 6:00 p.m. and the place was locked down tight! On principle alone, I will NEVER come here again. -- -- Okay, so we finally made it when they opened after the holidays. My six-year-old daughter loved it; wife loved it--and I loved it. I went in for the Blueberry Green Tea. It was honestly the most smooth, flavorful bubble tea I've had in Texas. Period. We will be back. Also...the owners are very nice and warm. This place has two TVs and Nintendo Switches for kids and adults! read more

Yay! Boba in Allen!! Cute family owned boba joint. It's bit hidden since it's not facing the main roads but it's in the same building as the Chinese buffet place. My kids went right to the board games when we went in and they later entertained themselves in the kids area with LEGO blocks and a play kitchen. So yeah, it's very kid friendly. I tried their Vietnamese frappe and classic milk tea. They also have a dirty milk tea which has a shot of espresso. The girl taking my order didn't seem to know much about the menu since she didn't know what taro bites were and what a dirty milk tea was. She had to turn around and ask the owners both times. I guess that's okay since it's only the second day of their soft opening. The only other place that I know of that has Vietnamese frappe is fat straws, which is about 30 mins away. The Vietnamese frappe was pretty good. Not too sweet and had a good coffee flavor, which what a Vietnamese coffee should be. I would order it again. My daughter didn't like the milk tea. She's use to the milk tea at Kung Fu. I tasted it and thought the tea flavor was very strong. I am not much of milk tea drinker so don't take my word for it. The menu seems to have a lot of interesting drinks so I will be back again to try some of them. I will definitely be back for the Vietnamese frappe. Big plus for the stamp card and the boba itself had the right amount of chewy texture. read more

For the boba bae... you might be a little disappointed with this boba tea house. Kinda used to having my ice level and sugar level customized... I don't consider myself a super picky person and maybe I need to try this place again. My kid liked that she could play pokemon quest with her friend on the screen. read more

Started coming here after working out at the gym off of McDermott and 75. Since it's summer time, I'm always left craving for a cool drink after an intense workout at the gym and driving in the heat... You get to make your own boba drink. Except for honey boba, they do charge for other extra toppings. Service is great and the staff is really nice. The only thing I'd comment on is that I wish they'd offer some snacks on the menu too. That'd really give them a more competitive edge compared to so many other boba places in town. read more

Hello Boba is my new favorite in Allen, TX. I came across it while picking up food next door. Their black milk tea with boba is my choice whenever I drop in. I've tried their lychee drink which was also good. The staff is pleasant and they have a cute seating area inside. Love the vibrant wall art which gives the place a unique look. I'm thinking about getting some boba tea as I'm writing this so yes I'd recommend this place. They are currently allowing people to sit inside and wearing a mask is required. Stay safe and don't forget to support the small businesses in your area. read more

Came here once and fell in love. I love anything boba and they have a great selection from milk teas, green teas, slushies and shakes. They have boba, and also various jellies and popping boba to choose from to add to your drink. One of my favorite things is the free library they have for the customers. You can borrow a book to read, bring in books that might be collecting dust. They also have various games that can be enjoyed by a few or many. Its a cool place to come for a treat and spend some time with friends or family. read more

Hello Boba - Lychee Explosion with boba and rainbow jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Allen, Texas

This place doesn't have an Oriental ambience. The taro milk tea was ok, but the boba in it was hard.

Cute and fun Boba Tea shop that doubles as a hang out spot. Walked in to a very fun and energetic atmosphere- they play music over the speakers, there's Video games for people to play, free wifi for those who want to work. It's very stimulating if you need a little distraction while working, there were lots of people by themselves working on their laptop or reading who didn't mind the hustle and bustle of a boba business happening around them. The place is pretty big, great for groups. Conveniently located off 75, about 10 minutes from the Allen Outlet Malls. I tried their Lychee Slush with boba. I don't know if I'd get another slush drink again because I really did not enjoy the texture or size of their blended ice but the taste was definitely 10/10. The selection is impressive- plenty of fun and new mixed/original drinks to try with them! The worker who helped me was very patient as i perused the menu. I was slightly overwhelmed by the options but her patience was really appreciated. They seem to only have one size which I'd describe as being close to a Large (definitely bigger than standard medium sizes). Show your Student ID for 10% off. Rewards card available: free drink after 10th purchase. Would go again read more

After getting dinner somewhere nearby, my husband and I went here for milk and fruit tea drinks here at Hello Boba. If I'm not mistaken, this is one of two boba tea shops in Allen. It is located in the Target/Home Depot shopping center, right off the 75 freeway. The drink menu includes fruit teas, smoothies, and milk teas. In my opinion, the menu options are not as adventurous as other shops. My husband got the malibu sunset which was a fruit based drink, and I got the taro milk drink. We found the fruit tea a bit too sweet, but the taro milk drink had a good flavor (I wish I got boba with it). Another time, we had tried their Allen Eagle Eye drink, which is another fruity drink. Again, this was a little too sweet for my liking. Perhaps next time I'll see if they can adjust the sweetness level. The shop is casual with games and books for those who want to use them while visiting. Staff was pretty friendly. Overall, this drink shop was good, but not one of my favorites in the area (it's hard when there are so many good boba spots in Plano!). However, I wouldn't mind coming back again to try something new! read more

Very tasty! I love how they display the different kinds of boba we try to hit every boba spot we come across. We'll definitely be back here! read more

WOW QUALITY BOBA. One of the best places for a fruity treat!! I got the superstar drink, passion mango smoothie and the taro milk. All amazing drinks. The best flavor, not too sour or sweet and the milk tea was just right. It's hard to find that in a shop. The boba is also FREEE. No more paying for that extra add in! My parents loved it and they hate sugary drinks. Aesthetic is super cute and there's also a Nintendo switch for hanging out with friends. Highly recommend this place. Sucks it's all the way in Allen but if I'm ever in the area will def be stopping by again! read more

A new local boba shop that is trying to get off the ground in the Allen area. We came here to study for an entire afternoon about a month ago and was pleasantly surprised by our experience. In terms of drinks, they have just the right amount of options in each category. We tried their green tea and milk tea and both were on point. If you're into coffee, their Vietnamese coffee and "dirty" drinks are must-tries. The price is on the higher end ($4+) but at least the boba are included. Seating seems slightly limited given the size of the room. The service counter being in the middle took up a big chunk of the real estate. There's also a toddler play area at the back, which is a unique and interesting idea that we appreciate as parents, but could certainly be converted into more seats if necessary. In the end, what impressed me the most was actually how hard the owner was working trying to start this small business. There are certainly some kinks that needs to be worked out (already worked out?). For example, I can't find a phone number for the place on Google or Yelp. To use the Wifi, the owner had to manually type the password into our laptops. But these are all minor things. Either way, I hope things work out for Hello Boba and we'll certainly be visiting again next time we're in town. read more
