Such a cute and cozy spot for some boba! 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!

Hi boba has really good strawberry tea and you can ask for it sparkling too. The service was really good and I got my drink in about 2 minutes .

In the ever-evolving landscape of dining options, few establishments have captured my heart quite like this charming boba place. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted by a vibrant atmosphere that buzzed with energy and excitement. 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.

Very cute little boba shop The kiwi fruit tea was very refreshing - saw others feedback it's rather sweet so I opt for the 10% sugar level. That was just right for me but would prefer the drink to be more sour

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.

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. The decor is super cute making this place the perfect trifecta.

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!

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!!

My most favorite boba place! Such quality boba, love love love. The people are so nice, and drinks are always good.

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!

Receipt with sneaky 8.00% tax when it should be 7.7875%

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.

Definitely the best boba shop in town! Their fruit teas are always super fresh. I love their milk tea series too! Friendly staffs and great service!

Lychee fruit boba
Mark S.

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.

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

I've gone here for a long time and I love BOBA! This review isn't about the fact that they haven't…read morehad any boba's the last few times I've been in. I totally get that. Some stuff is just hard to come by these days. However, when I was there I saw this kid with bleached hair drop a cup in the ground. It bounced around in the floor where the employees were waking. Then he picks it back up and puts it with the clean cups. Yuck. This girl stacked it back in with the rest of the cups. Seriously dude? If you drop something on the ground it can't be served. I mean I know that happens all the time from my days working in restaurants, but it's gross to see first hand. Another time I'm there this girl pulls her mask down and wipes snot off her nose and then proceeds to make a drink. I just walked out without my drink. Get it together guys. That being said you get three stars for being open during covid.

I have been coming here for YEARS and it's absolutely top favorites LOCAL businesses in ABQ. I was…read moreshocked it was local because they're so well put together. Whoever does their art is incredible! And every drink is so bomb, highly rec the secret menu online. Also, if you're going to order something, I prefer the blended drinks. Staff is overall pretty chill when I come in; they're not overly nice would definitely not rude. There's other stores in the city, but I do think going to this one is the best because I can always find parking.

I stopped by Sharetea last night- I was craving a refreshing tea and they definitely delivered…read more Sharetea has a really extensive menu, and they load you up with boba, which I love. The girl working was super nice and helpful when I asked for guidance on my order. I ended up getting the Wintermelon Lemonade, which was light and refreshing- it hit the spot! I was the only customer when I showed up. It's a tad dark and quiet in there, but that doesn't bother me. I appreciated their variety of drink options; they had quite a few signs in-store with fresh features. I will be back to try a Thai Tea soon!

This is not my first time visiting a ShareTea, but I must say that I am so glad that they have one…read morehere in town. It's a little out of the way for me, but if I ever come back to town, I will definitely visit this place again. They offer a wide variety on their menu. And I like it a lot because you can choose what you like, ice level, sweetness and toppings. Most boba shops in town you're not able to do that, which is a total bummer. Sometimes competitors' drinks are too sweet or not sweet enough. Today, we tried their Okinawa Pearl Milk Tea and Thai Pearl Milk Tea. So delicious and creamy. We loved it. They had great customer service and it wasn't too busy when we were there. Thank you!

Took my niece shopping and she talked me into a boba. Historically, the texture is too much for me…read more She encouraged me to try this because we could get them blended into a smoothy. However, upon standing there I decided to roll the dice. I ordered the "kiss" size (smaller) "Cream de la Cream" which is a coffee flavored boba. I ordered it iced with 2 scoops of boba. You can get it blended, no ice, and their menu go from creamy to tropical and everywhere in between. There is a self-serve check out or workers who will walk you through the drinks and describe them with you. It's in the mall, so expect it to be busy. We went on a Saturday, so it was a bit hectic, the trash was a bit overfilling outside their stand, but regardless I found myself searching to get all the boba! I loved it. I don't think it's a place you can sit, chill, or relax around but you can get a killer boba! I'm converted. 10/10

Boba Tea Company has several locations across a few states, but I love that they started right here…read morein Albuquerque. They serve consistently good boba and a wide variety of drinks. I've tried many of their menu items over the years, and the quality has always been solid. The service is fast and friendly, and the decor and logo give the place a cool, modern vibe. If you're looking for good boba, Boba Tea Company should definitely be in the conversation.
