The staff was friendly - they ended up giving us an extra Matcha because they had an extra... but when we had it - it just tasted like milk and not really matcha. The boba was soft. The drinks were a little sweeter even though we adjusted the sweetness. We had been driving for a couple of days and wanted a treat while we stopped in ABQ, but it wasn't a place I HAD to come back to. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute and cozy spot for some boba![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I looove their boba. The tapioca is so soft and fresh. I've been here about 4-5 times and each time, the taste is on point. The drinks are on the sweeter side so thankfully they'll adjust to your preference. I order my drinks 50% - 80% sweet. The staff is unfriendly and stare at customers with glazed over eyes. The most recent time I visited, I stood in front of the cashier for over 1 minute and she didn't say a word. She just stared at me blankly. Very awkward. It's definitely not just her. It's been all the ladies I've ordered with. Anyway, I'm going to keep coming because I love the taste of the drinks and boba! read more

Hi BoBa - Bubble Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I never ever leave bad reviews but this place was definitely disappointing for me. I have celiac disease and normally boba places have all been fine and gluten free but I always like to ask just because some syrups can have gluten and you never know. So I asked they employee and he was unable to give me an answer in any of the boba options were gluten free I asked all three workers and they all gave me a disappointing "I don't know" and didn't offer to ask or try and find out. I left without getting anything. Overall I'd say if you have celiac disease or any gluten intolerance I would seek other boba shops that's have more knowledge about the items. read more

In the ever-evolving landscape of dining options, few establishments have captured my heart quite like this charming boba place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a vibrant atmosphere that buzzed with energy and excitement.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This delightful spot is truly worth seeking out, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a refreshing drink experience. One of the first things that struck me was the freshness of the boba. Unlike many places where the pearls can often taste stale or overly chewy, here, the boba is consistently fresh and perfectly cooked. The quality of the drink reflects this attention to detail, creating a delightful texture that complements the various flavors available. It's clear that the staff takes pride in their product, and this commitment to quality is evident in every sip. Speaking of flavors, the variety offered at this boba place is nothing short of impressive. With an extensive menu featuring countless combinations, there's something for everyone, whether you prefer fruity, creamy, or even more unique options. Each visit presents an opportunity to explore new tastes, and I find myself constantly drawn to experiment with different flavor pairings. This aspect makes it a fantastic venue to enjoy with friends and colleagues, as we can each order something different and share our experiences. The drink I got also comes with lactose free alternative. read more

Hi BoBa - a hand holding a cup of green tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The staff is very nice. They have really good boba selection. Highly recommended, I would come back tomorrow

This is one of my favorite boba places of all time and definitely stands well in comparison to a lot of the places on the west coast. Some of my favorites are the fruit teas, which have fresh fruit in them, and the green Thai tea. The staff is amazing at actually customizing the drinks (the sweetness adjustment works well and the drinks remain flavorful even if you opt for less sweet) and the boba is cooked well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is super cute making this place the perfect trifecta.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Went to get a refreshing mango boba tea after walking around vacant new central and old town today. Mango smoothie with red bean and bobas, an interesting mix, different and not too bad either. The mango smoothie itself has 50% less sugar in it, it's good. $8.05 for my boba smoothie. $0.75 for the red bean and another $0.75 for the bobas. read more

Loved the boba here! You can customize your drink with amount of sugar, flavor and type of boba. I tried their matcha, creme brûlée and the Thai Milk Tea. All three were amazing. You can order at a screen or with a person. The place is clean and cute! Highly recommend! read more

Hi BoBa - Bubble Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This is one of my favorite boba places in Albuquerque. I really enjoy the way that the tea is customizable in the sense that you can elect how much boba, how much sugar, ice, etc. It really distinguishes this boba place from others. The location is also in a convenient spot on Menaul in a very cute and clean little strip mall. the service is always 10/10!! read more

Hi BoBa - F1. Hawaii Fruit Tea, and F9. Tropical Mango - Bubble Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Tried this new boba place before heading the ballon fiesta...and it was pretty darn good. I noticed a lot more boba places doing the personalized drink preferences. Example, the sugar content (30-100%) and the ice content. I got the OG Thai milk tea with 30% sugar and less ice. I should've got the 50%! It was a little watered down, but totally my choice. Next time I'll know to get 50%. My bf got the taro milk tea with 50% and it was spot on especially it having bit chunks of taro on top! A first I've seen at a boba joint! Points for creativity! I'll definitely come back when in town! read more

I saw roach in the restroom, which is okay but then I saw another one lying next to the front door. Also the cashier tries to be sneaky and charge you 8.00% tax when it should be 7.7875% tax, see photo. read more

Hi BoBa - Receipt with sneaky 8.00% tax when it should be 7.7875% - Bubble Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We ordered three 22 oz drinks. We also ordered a 16 oz. drink. All the drinks were "Funky Monkey Boba. the drinks we bought were watered down. It was like drinking faintly flavored water. We live outside the city and were on I-40 west bound, miles out hoping to enjoy a sweet beverage. To our dismay the drinks weren't up to par with the Boba Tea franchise flavor. My suggestion is to sample your product before you drive away. What you see is not necessarily what you get. Definitely poor product and service. read more

I'm all for training new people, but then somebody should double check orders are right. The boba I asked for weren't included in my drink order, my kid's drink had the wrong sweetness level. It wasn't a friendly or inviting place. Bye BoBa. read more

Boba tea was decent but floors were dirty and lots of staff who could have handled it did not. Sweet ladies, just not sure. Give benefit of the doubt that it had been raining so footprints may have been expected, but could have been addressed. read more

The Good: My lychee fruit tea with regular boba was very good. The kiwi fruit tea was OK and the boba were overcooked and mushy. The Bad: Veey poor service. Stood in front of the cash register for five minutes before even being acknowledged, despite three people working the front. They seemed irritated we were there and rushed us through our order. The Ugly: The floors, bench seating, and tables are fifty. Don't think they've seen a dish rag except at closing. For a place that's only been open a few weeks it seems grungy and well used. The boba itself was what saved this from being a one star review. Don't know of we'll be back. read more

This place is my go to boba place. Been there at it's grand opening and now seeing it open it's second location makes me very proud. Locally owned Vietnamese boba shop with tasty drinks and nice vibes. My to go item is the m9, black boba lactose drink. The boba in this drink is different from the other Bobas and it's so creamy and delicious. Probably not really good for me but I always get it. The cheese drinks sounds weird for not really experience boba drinkers but trust me when I say it's a very common and delicious type of drink. If you haven't had a cheese tea yet I recommend you trying. read more

This place was very good! Busy and it was worth the wait. I got the tea at the mall and it was a disappointment. So glad when I visit my son and daughter-in-law I have a good place to get boba tea now read more

I took my nieces to hi boba and they enjoyed it. Hi boba used milk alternatives, so I opted for a fruity tea. It was ok, but a bit too sweet for me. I think you can adjust the level of sweetness, so I would go a bit lower next time. read more

Kinda the worst. Never has any Boba after 5pm and they don't even bother to put a sign or anything before you order.

We went to grab boba this evening, and it was really bad. I had ordered the Oreo one, asked for 80% sugar. It was watered down, and not sweet at all. This was the first time I didn't like my drink from here.... I tried it when I got home, or I would have taken it back. Ugh read more

Favorite boba spot at the moment. I love that the drinks are customizable to your preference. Staff is always so friendly & the place has the cutest vibe. read more

This is some awesome boba!! The flavors are wonderful and the boba balls are really good taste and texture. They give you options for amount of sugar, ice and add ons. There is a dairy free milk creamer for the milk teas so vegans can get something! Follows all COVID regulations. read more

I ordered Iced Taro Milk tea with cheese, this was my first time trying to get it with cheese. But they forgot to add the cheese, so I went back to get the cheese, I guess it was cream cheese. I also added bursting mango jelly which was just delicious. I added 50% sugar and it still tasted sweet, probably next time I'll try 30%. read more

I love this place great service, workers were super friendly. I like how they give you the option to how much ice you'd like or even the sugar amount. I got the %30 sugar and still pretty sweet so I may go back and try without any sugar next time. I'll update. read more

Great boba! Big selection of stuff to choose from including sugar levels or alternatives and the type of boba you want to go in the drink.

The store is very clean and had tables to sit at while waiting. read more

First off: PICK YOUR OWN SUGAR LEVEL. Second: so many real tea options! Fresh brewed tea boba is lacking in Abq until Hi Boba. We landed here on a whim while the littlest foodies napped in their carseats and we passed by. What a fortuitous find! I went in to find so many tea options plus organic options!, custom sugar (100%, 80% 50%, 30%, and sugar free). I ordered 30% in my Thai Iced Tea and it was the perfect amount for me. They have more toppings than any boba shop I have visited here. The cup plastic is heavy duty. I am not sure if its made so thick to be brought back, but I am definitely going to keep it for a refill. I am really glad we stumbled upon this tea shop, it is going to be our regular spot when the boba cravings hit. read more

One of the best boba tea places in Albuquerque. Expansive menu with plenty of flavorful options as well as control of sugar and ice levels built into the ordering process. Great for sweet afternoon refreshment. Friendly polite staff and quick service make this a no-brainer. read more

The best boba we've had in the city so far. After 2 other disappointing experiences elsewhere, we were so close to giving up on boba here and just waiting until we go back to CA for our boba fix. But, thankfully, if we're really craving some, we can now come here for a (as close as you can get) taste of home. Tried the classic iced black milk tea and added boba and egg pudding (why it doesn't automatically come with boba, I don't know). I appreciate that you can choose your sweetness and ice levels, since I like my drinks less sweet. The tea was good, and the boba was nice and chewy. Less ice was still kind of a lot of ice so I don't know how you'd get around that. I would probably skip the egg pudding next time- it was hard to get through the straw and was kind of flavorless. And, if anyone is wondering like I was, the black boba milk tea is just a classic milk tea with boba and brown sugar on the cup. read more

Hi BoBa - M1. Iced Classic Milk Tea with boba and egg pudding - Bubble Tea Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Visited Hi Boba for the first time last week, when my boyfriend and I walked in the workers were sitting at a table on their phones taking a break. As soon as we walked in they were quick to get up and take our orders. I ordered the kiwi fruit tea with 80% sugar, less ice, and with peach and orange bursting boba. My boyfriend got the tropical mango fruit tea with 30% sugar, less ice and mango bursting boba. I appreciate how they put fresh kiwi into my drink. Although personally I enjoy really sweet drinks, I expected my drink to be more sweet than my boyfriend's drink. For some reason his drink was sweeter than mine even though he had 30% sugar and I had 80%. My boyfriend and I were wondering if they accidentally put the wrong amounts of sugar into our drinks. Despite this, it was still great and I look forward to visiting again soon! read more

Did I just have the best taro boba tea?! 50% sweetness, less ice, soft and chewy boba, topped with bits of taro. SO DELICIOUS! I order taro 90% of the time. I've hit up places on the east coast, west coast, and the midwest. This place is legit! Definitely check this place out! read more
