Did a search for boba in the area and Hocaa popped up. When I walked in, I had NO idea they had bubble waffles so I ditched my craving for boba and got a bubble waffle instead! You could get your bubble waffle flavored with red bean or matcha. Or you could get them plain if you wanted. I love being able to choose! Variety is the spice of life! So many options, so many toppings, and so many Asian flavors! I love it! The place is small and only has counter seating along the walls but it's so much better than Wondaffles across the street! The service was nice. The young guy who helped me was so patient and that goes a long way! read more

I order from HOCAA almost every Sunday on Uber Eats. I love their drinks, they're always well-made, my order has never been wrong. I think for the quality of their drinks, their prices are very acceptable! Where this location is, in Bethlehem, it is 30 minutes from where I am and when the drinks arrive they're always packaged good, I always have straws, my drinks are always still cold, tapioca is always good, and the drinks always taste exactly like I ordered them before. I have also been into the store personally 4 times and it is kept very clean and the workers are sanitary. 10/10 in all areas, though I have never tried their food, but I'm sure it's good. I love the drink selection, especially their Oreo crème brûlée and watermelon coconut bubble tea. Just amazing! KEEP IT UP!!! read more

Came here again in hopes to get my fiancé his fave bubble slush-taro! And they had it in smoothie version which is very similar to slush and my fiancé liked it :) My son stuck with his Oreo drink and I tried the matcha creme brûlée which is a little stronger than the regular matcha but still enjoyable. Service was great- she was patient and really helpful picking out a new matcha drink. read more

Authentic tasting teas! Would definitely come back! Got the green grape green tea and passionfruit yakult.

I strictly came here for their egg waffle after my dinner. I didn't try their drinks out because I already ordered a drink during my dinner. I ordered their original egg waffle with request for extra crispy. It came out pretty good. (I should never compare to the one I have eaten in elsewhere, like NY, Canada, and HK because they were so much better.) Anyway, texture was pretty good. The taste was just missing some more egg flavor. But overall was satisfied with that egg waffle. Btw, this place do have a nice wall backdrop for photos. My daughter asks to take photos cause she said it was pretty. read more

Great girls, great boba, and great service! Very cute booth in the mall with plenty of shopping to browse when waiting for your drinks. Our fav spot to com to. read more

A good selection of bubble tea drinks but the boba itself doesn't have a lot of flavor. I liked that they automatically offer lactose free milk. They don't have almond or oat milk. My red bean boba drink was ok. Service is friendly but we had to wait a long time for our drinks. They get very busy for sure. The store is pretty small with limited seating. read more

I love all the item from this place .My favorite place in Bethlehem . Mashed taro is my favorite

Excellent service! Kind staff! I ordered the matcha brûlée milk tea & strawberry milk tea, super worth it read more

The staff is very friendly and the bubble tea is great! Great ambiance! I also enjoyed their ice cream, and the offers that they have.

Great selection of teas! So far, my favorite is the Brown Sugar Latte. I love how I can select how much sweetener is added to my tea.

Best Booba drink eveeer love it, they use real fruit Highly recommend wish to have it in my town, read more

Boba: Their boba was not sweet and not chewy. It wasn't awful just very mediocre boba. I've made much better with the dried packaged boba you can make at home. I'm looking for that chewy honey or brown sugar tasting boba. Theirs was slightly hard with nonexistent sugar. The tea itself was fine. Rice ritos: I tried to order one but they weren't making it that day not sure why Matcha Egg waffle: seemed slightly burnt in my opinion. It wasn't very sweet even with a honey drizzle but it had a decent texture - crunchy enough to break off and chewy enough to still enjoy. Not much green tea taste to it. I will give this place another try down the line. Maybe it was a bad day but I'll be back. Seating is limited as it's a small shop and the employees weren't super friendly but they weren't mean. Just took the order and moved on. Expect for a decent wait time as there's always customers and the drinks can take a while to make. Boba: 3/5 Egg waffle: 4/5 Service: 3/5 read more

I was so happy to find this place in the area. I love it. Very hip and pretty decor. The service was friendly. The drinks were good. The menu has a wide selection. I'm excited they have egg waffles. My favorites. read more

I got the Jadeite Jasmine Green tea w White Pearls, 75% sweet. The tea is strong and very fragrant. I couldn't decide between which flavor to get and the worker let me smell the tea leaves to help me decide, so nice of her! Love that there is a small parking lot because street parking in this area can be a pain. Would love to try one of their milk teas next to really get a sense of the drinks here read more

I really enjoy Hocca! I've been here twice now (many more visits to come) and I love the drinks every-time. It is a bit of a wait but regardless it's worth it. Definitely stop in and check it out, the interior is very cute. read more

I changed my mind-- unfortunately, the quality of their drinks have downgraded so much within the past year. Two weeks ago at the Palmer and Bethlehem locations, I ordered the winter melon milk tea with brown sugar boba twice, and I barely tasted the winter melon powder/syrup and the brown sugar. It tasted like plain milk. Today at the Bethlehem location, I ordered the mango milk tea with brown sugar boba. The mango milk tea wasn't mixed properly because I felt the powder on my tongue. It was also easy for me to tell that I was served day-old boba because the texture did not feel soft and chewy at all. And yes, I barely tasted the brown sugar in the boba. From one boba lover to another, I hope the owner takes my review into consideration and works to improve on each drink's quality to reflect their pricing. As an Asian American living in the white suburbs, I was SO excited to finally have an authentic boba establishment open up near me, and I enjoyed your drinks within your first year of opening. Today, I am disappointed that quality of your drinks is just as cheap as a boba mall kiosk-- where non-Asians can't tell the difference between good boba vs bad boba. read more

good boba but way to expensive. However the price if i see a hocaa i usually go because theyre maycha is phenomenal.

Came by this place after dinner. Tried the fruit green tea slushes with honeydew and mango. Unfortunately it was very underwhelming. It had an interesting taste with the green tea but was not sweet at all (with no reduction in sugar level), and the boba was tasteless. Was disappointed as I had seen good reviews on here. read more

It's bubble tea time! Yippee! First time here and we're happy! I got the brown sugar milk tea and my daughter got the Oreo crème brûlée with strawberry popping boba. We also ordered the egg waffle with strawberry ice cream. Both drinks were great as was the dessert. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. We will totally be back soon. read more

Boba was a bit soft for my liking but did not detract from the overall experience. Just glad to have a legitimate boba place in the area. Lots of options for add ins and flavors. Service was quick and friendly and we liked being able to select the sweetness level. They did however run out of boba while we were there and it was about a 10-15 minute wait for a new batch. I understand they're new and so likely still working out kinks in terms of timing/batch size. Will be back! read more

I actually went here a long time ago now and it's very quaint, smaller than the Naruto branch but it makes up for it with unique tea drinks.

My boyfriend and I stopped here in the evening after dinner one night and what a pleasant surprise !! Fun fact. 6pm-8pm they have a "happy hour" where it's buy one get one free. I highly recommend the taro bubble tea. The Oreo creme brûlée one is good too...but taro is just so much better! Also can I just say...look how cute their cups are! Lastly, this place gets busy so give the staff a smile and be nice! You can tell the team is working hard read more

Great options, very awesome atmosphere LOVE the option for healthy (aloe and no sugar options). 4 stars because it took me 15 min to get my drink with one person ahead of me. But honestly it was so good I would say worth the wait. Hopefully the speed picks up because they're going to get super busy!!! Prime location read more

Finally got to try Hocca's Bubble Teas! Today wasn't as busy, but the service was still exceptionally quick. I'm more of a basic tea drink type of person, so I got to try their Golden Grapefruit Green Tea with regular sweetness, brown sugar (always) and also added the cream cheese foam. They also gave a good amount of boba! To my surprise the cream cheese foam wasn't too thick and overall the drink was amazing! I will definitely come again to try more of their drinks! read more

The only bubble tea I can count on to be perfect every time in the Lehigh valley. 10/10 brown sugar milk tea is my fav

Amazing, I only give 4 stars just because They always takes time to make it. Meaning They do it one by one instead of Multitask. read more

Hocaa Bubble Tea - Regular Milk tea with bubble and pudding! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

So happy this place opened in Bethlehem. Extremely good boba that you would find in places like LA or bigger cities. I tried their brown sugar, their standard milk tea, the white rabbit drink, and the Mango green tea. All were good. Not too sweet either. The desert was good too. read more

If this place was even a smidge close to me, I would honestly be here every day. I absolutely love the bubble tea, and their bubble waffles are to die for. Would definitely come again! read more

This is the first time I have had bubble tea! The staff was attentive and explained all the options to me. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

It's been a long wait for a dedicated bubble tea place in the Lehigh Valley. This place does not disappoint. Some expected growing pains for a new business and, not surprisingly, they can get extremely busy. Be patient with wait times, I think it'll get better with time. I've tried the brown sugar, matcha, and red bean bubble teas with different mixes of bubbles, jelly, herbal jelly, or pudding. Some at 50% sugar level though I think their bubble tea is overall not overly sweet anyway without the sugar reduction. They were all delicious and hit the spot for my bubble tea cravings! read more

I am so glad there is actually a really good place to get bubble tea around here. Been here quite a few times now, lots of options and I haven't had a single bad drink. It might be a bit of a wait when it is really busy, but its so worth it and I usually call ahead to order, so its perfect. The interior is really cute and well decorated too. read more

Amazing bubble tea & so many flavor options! The mango green tea and taro milk tea are my favorites.

New bubble tea place. Overall great tea and tapioca. Would love to try their food like the bubble waffles in the future. They're pretty busy decently keep up with the pace. Happy to have this in the Lehigh valley. read more

So excited. Finally an authentic bubble tea place in the area not that powdery crap. Service was great and the wait time for 4 drinks was fairly quick. Love that they had quite a few selections of toppings including my fav herbal jelly. If you're in the area and want the real thing~ this is it! read more

The best bubble tea in Bethlehem. Authentic drinks. They have many choices. The people are nice and friendly. The place is very clean.

Great tea variety. Want cheese foam? They got it. Want fruit tea? They got it. Really tasty and staff friendly

they were out on just about everything, barista dropped the mixing spoon on the floor and just rinsed it with water. absolutely disgusting especially now with covid. asked to remake the drink. taro drink mix was balled up and fell to the bottom of drink. egg waffle was good tho! read more

So we arrived at 11:02. The guy behind the counter said he needed 5 minutes to prep. We waited 20 before he came out of the back By this time there were other people waiting. It was packed. At 11:20 he says he's ready. But the computer isn't on. So we wait for it to boot before we can place an order. We attempt to order and are told the boba for the tea won't be ready for another ten minutes. At this point we walked out, 25 minutes after opening, during which we had been waiting for them to prep. Maybe it's great. I have no idea, but I doubt I will go back. I do know we walked down the street to U&Tea. Easy, fast boba tea and it's cheaper too. read more

I absolutely love Hocaa Bubble Tea! I have had the Oreo Creme Brulee Milk Tea with added Brown Sugar Boba and it is to die for! I have had this drink twice and won't hesitate to come back! Although sometimes a lot of people are in the place, it's still a great business to get nice cold beverages from! You get your drink in less than 5 minutes! And I might add that I love the caps of the large drink cups. I love how they have a place to pop in the big straw and a little heart plug to pull out to just drink the beverage without the boba. I love love LOVE Hocaa Bubble Tea and recommend the Oreo Creme Brulee Milk Tea with added Brown Sugar Boba and added Sugar. (My usual drink order.) I hope this review helps you find a great place to hang out and drink delicious bubble tea! read more
