In my opinion, this bubble tea is a healthier, higher quality brand. Smaller menu, a bit higher price, defintly worth trying to compare and taste the difference honey vs fruit syrups, less ice, and higher quality products make, in comparison to other bubble tea in area. They also offer bubble waffles, and smaller popcorn chicken as snacks with your bubble tea. read more

I was excited to try Honey Bear Bubble Tea after seeing photos of the cute honey bear bubble tea drinks online. Walking in, the place is cutely decorated with a few stools for seating in a counter area. For ordering, you self-order on an iPad. They offer a few types of milk or fruit tea (not a very large variety) and two snack food choices. Unfortunately the iPad ordering doesn't let you customize the sweetness level so the Korean coffee drink I ordered was much too sweet for my taste, so much so that I couldn't really finish the drink. We also ordered the popcorn chicken with sauce (extra 0.99 cents for the sauce) which unfortunately tasted like air fryer burnt dry mystery meat that was pretty much inedible. The container for the bubble tea was cute and insta-worthy, however the lack of being able to customize the sugar level and the poor food likely won't have me coming back. read more

Bubble tea has become a welcomed staple in Buffalo, NY. There are a lot of options and a lot of great places, it truly depends on what you are looking for. Honey Bear has been my go-to for bubble tea, not just because of the product but also because of the experience. Although the shop is small, the owner is always there welcoming you, getting to know your bubble tea preferences and always up for making reccomdations and customizations. Upon entering, you feel like you are in another world. K-pop music playing, K-pop posters on the wall, and the cutest plushies that will keep you company as you wait for your order. What sets Honey Bear apart from the competition is their use of local honey in all of their drinks and no artificial sweeteners. They cold brew their teas for 24 hours and make their own brown sugar tapioca boba. You know, when you receive your bubble tea, you are getting the freshest and most health-conscious tea. To top it off, their drinks are given to you in cute, reusable "honey bear" containers. As far as reccomdations ask the owner Adam, he will steer you in the right direction! My personal favorite and go-to is their Taro milk tea! read more

Honey Bear Bubble Tea - Taro milk tea! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

Finally stopped in to visit. Idk I guess maybe I'm missing the hype? The drink was just okay I didn't think it was anything super special and the menu was super limited overall. The staff were super nice though so no complaints there and the pricing was good for everything. I'd try it again maybe it was just because they were getting set up but I want to give them another chance! read more

FursI'm between a 3 star and a 4 star. This place is tiny but the guy working was nice and greeted us plus answered questions. I got the fruity pebbles taro milk tea with tapioca balls. My cousins got the gummy bear with blueberry pearls and matcha milk tea with lychee. My fruity pebbles taro was good but it didn't taste any different than a regular taro milk tea from other bubble tea places. It's a cute concept, I like that they use honey to sweeten. It's good but I feel like I wanted more from an almost $9 drink. read more

My fiance and I love bubble tea so when a recommendation came up to try Honey Bear we were eager to try it! The substitution of honey for sugar makes the drinks less thick and brings out more natural flavors in the tea. The cashier was super attentive, and super passionate about the products! He answered all our questions and gave us recommendations based on our sugar liking. This was a cute little shop, not a lot of room, but intimate and decorated with amazing boba plushies and anime posters! 12 out of 10 would recommend and go back! read more

We really enjoyed our visit here tonight. The owner is very peppy and eccentric, which I really enjoyed. He was very helpful and you could tell he truly enjoyed what he does! You really can tell a difference with the honey. It was refreshing! The price is higher for less liquid than a usual bubble tea, but I consider this a premium item so the price is adequate. read more

Honey Bear Bubble Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Tonawanda, New York

I don't know if all the other reviews are fake or they just haven't gone into any other bubble tea shops, but this is definitely not the best boba in buffalo. There are so many shops that are higher quality that give you more for a cheaper/same price. the quality of the drinks and food was maybe a 2/10. The worker was very kind, but everything else was just meh. I got a strawberry sorbet with lychee jelly, tasted like water with too much syrup. I also got their ube waffles, tasted like cheap frozen waffles drenched in syrup. If this was cheaper, I would've been content with whatever it was, but that quality for $17? Yeah not worth it. read more

Tried for the first time tonight. Brown sugar with jellies. yummy. You can taste the honey in such a beautiful way. Truly a treat. And was treated to a honey lesson which was a bonus read more

Well went to finally try this place since other bubble tea place was closed ,, which is my go to place but being that it was closed decided to try this place out , small menu , music was loud as u walk in ,, ,, the drink I ordered was one juicy teas , which was nothing but a Arizona honey iced tea , in honey bear cup etc ,, which may have actually been like 6 once's of actual fluid,, rest was ice and tapiocas , which I have no problem paying for item , that is worth taste etc ,, but 9$ for like 6 ounces of tea ? Wow never will I step into this place again,, hope , and another thing has wall at counter covering while they or he makes ur drink , which I found unusual most places like this are open so customer can see item being made . As for me it's no go again read more

Boba is made from real honey and served in the cutest reusable bear cups. Natural all around. Not to mention the atmosphere is so cozy.

You have to try this place - If you are looking for a Bubble Tea that is actually made with quality ingredients and not that crap sold everywhere else with powders and High fructose corn Syrup - You will definitely taste the difference! Popcorn chicken with In-House sauces is a MUST TRY and Ube waffles I discovered and have not seen anywhere else in Buffalo. read more

WOW. This place is truly perfect unlike any other boba tea shop around; the drinks taste out-of-this world, and are made with quality ingredients, and love. The service is extremely kind; the man running the store by himself allowed me and my 2 friends to get boba after the store closed too! True dedication to satisfy people. 5/5, 10/10, 100/100. Will be going back to this undiscovered gem much more! read more

Fabulous food not found in Buffalo the teas are extremely tasty and made with honey which adds an elevated taste the ube I've never had before and is so cool read more

Best tasting bubble tea in the Buffalo area by far. They focus on a handful of flavors, which is in my opinion a good idea. Also, they don't add a ton of ice, so unlike other places, I don't wind up with a bunch of ice and boba at the end. read more

everything about this place was refreshing. limited flavours but that was a good thing in disguise
