We frequented this booth at our local mall. There was always a pretty hefty line and it's because it was definitely the best boba spot in the entire area (as far as I know). The people working were always quick and easy to deal with. And the bubble tea itself was always pretty good. I didn't really like that it was in the middle of a food court, I would much prefer a standalone store because sometimes I'd go to the mall just for boba. Overall a nice set up though. read more

JC Bubble Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Probably the better option of bubble tea in the mall, but certainly not the best bubble tea in the area. I come here for the sake of convenience if I'm in the area or at the mall. The prices on the screen do not match the prices on the paper menu in front of the register - they should really update that display. The boba is mushy, the sweetness level is too much for me (so I usually get less sugar, which can still be too much at times). One time the sealer did not work properly, so when I turned it upside down to mix the drink before puncturing it with my straw, it spilled a bit. read more

My two favorite things about this place based on our first visit were that they had a decent tea and that this was a family business. The lady who helped us appeared to be the owner and she was accommodating and friendly as she sweetened our teas using sugar instead of honey. The ultimate downfall was the Boba as I presumei it may have been cooked for a tad too long, although I'll usually prefer too chewy to too firm. This shop was immediately to the left as we entered the food court from the main entrance, so finding somewhere to sit wasn't an issue. I hope they continue to improve and stay open for many more years. read more

Yummy bubble tea! I got taro and previously honeydew and they were both good. Both drinks were very sweet so if you don't prefer that, don't come here. I enjoyed both drinks though. The tapioca pearls were yummy. Owners are nice too. It's in the food court so you can take a seat after getting yo read more

This is located in the food court of Cordova Mall. It is in the very back in a stand alone. They have authentic Taiwanese Bubble Tea and Shaved Ice!! This is the 1st time I have seen this shaved ice in America! This is definitely something different I suggest you try. We had it in Taiwan, very different, but not bad. Their Bubble Tea is very good. The staff is very professional and fast. read more

I wish I could give these people 0 stars because that's what they deserve! me and my kids ordered a honeydew and watermelon slush boba. We did order from them before and it was good, sweetness was just right now too overpowering but just right!! But this batch was super sweet and our drinks tasted like syrup & sugar! One sip and me and my kids couldn't stand the taste, syrup was too overpowering I kindly went up to them with my 2 girls and asked them if they could do anything about it, at least make another drink since we barely drank it, or a refund. Her and the guy making it, was very defensive and started mouthing off to me how they taste everything, and giving a stink look at me. I was shocked since I wasn't even mad when I was talking to her. It sucks how I wasted money on these drinks and the owners couldn't do anything about it, not even have sympathy that they gave us literally a SYRUP drink. I understand there is syrup in the slush but it's not that sweet when we usually buy it. Bad service and poor drinks that's what I'll always remember about this little business. Be careful when ordering your drinks, and beware when they don't turn out the way you want it, they will not give a crap about you. Sad! read more

I was desperate for some boba and tried to find a decent place nearby. I did not know this place was inside the mall. Red flag. It had decent reviews and decided to give it a try anyway. Got the tiger milk tea and red bean milk tea. Both drink sucks and tasted water down. The boba were overcooked and super mushy. The drink was barely edible at most and I wouldn't drink it again even if its free. Wasted calories... read more

I love this place! Their service is very fast and they are very kind. Their boba is amazing and they have almost all the flavors you could think of. I definitely recommend going there,even if you've had a bad experience at a different boba place and decided you didn't like boba it will change your mind!! read more

My favorite bubble tea I've ever had. I've tried them in California north and south, and Disney. And JC is the best!!! Chai tea milk tea with tapioca pearls! read more

As someone who moved here from Seattle and lived in Chinatown, downtown Seattle where there were more than 5 places to get milk tea all within a five minute walking distance, I am quite judgmental when it comes to milk tea. Jc bubble tea deserves a five star being the best MilkTea spot in the whole area. (If you can prove me wrong, message me a place and I'll review it!) The service is always as quick as possible & they are knowledgeable and kind. It's kind of a drag that it's in the mall as it can be too noisy with the mall at times, but that's out of their control. Their boba is always cooked well & I love the various milk teas ranging from the house , the taro , the matcha with red bean, etc. i definitely recommend getting the smoothies for the more fruity options as they tend to taste way better. I also love that I don't have to ask for light ice at this spot, they just always have less ice as a standard so I always feel like I can get my moneys worth! When I'm uncertain of what I want or don't want to deal with dairy, my go to is always a rose tea with double boba. You won't be disappointed! read more

A must stop off when you're visiting Cordova mall. Family owned, very nice family, always great customer service. My go to drink is the taro bubble tea with tapioca pearls aka boba. Pretty such the tapioca pearls are made in house. Great place for a refreshing drink snack. read more

Look for this key isolated seller in the back of the food court. Past the ATM against the windows. Top rated teas and coffee slush . I like the milk tea with boba too read more

I've been going to this place for years, in fact since they first opened in Santa Rosa Mall in Fort Walton Beach! They have now moved their location to Cordova Mall in Pensacola. I love their bubble teas! My favorites are the lychee tea with extra tapioca or the coffee! Now I've been to many places where their tapioca sucks, but this place makes their tapioca chewy, bouncy, and just right. I do have to say that sometimes, the tea can vary, from being mild to pretty strong. That's why I'm taking one star away. Otherwise, about 90% of the time, they make my order just right. The lady that is I'm assuming the owner, is super fast, sweet, and makes your drink in a timely manner! Definitely go check out this small, but cute place! read more

Cruising around the mall you either get hungry or thirsty. We were on our way out when I noticed the Boba tea stand. I grew excited because the last time I got really good boba tea was in Denver. The woman was very nice, I think she was the owner. I ordered the papaya milk tea with peach boba balls. It took some time (maybe 5-7 min) but wow was the tea good!! I especially loved the flavored boba balls! I can't remember exactly what I paid but the price was very reasonable. The area she worked appeared very clean and we'll taken care of, so I didn't have to second guess if I was getting a quality product. She also offers many flavors and other products like a slushie type of beverage. There really isn't much left to say except I left satisfied and will travel back to this Mall even if it's just for the boba tea alone. read more

Best boba place in the mall and closest one to me. Staff/owners are so sweet and very efficient. Line can run a little long but tea is good, order is always correct and I'm always satisfied. read more

This place is sick. The dude behind the counter is a true boba master. He alone puts all other standalone boba shops to shame. My only complaint is that its a stand in the mall and not a separate cafe... Maybe one day. I usually roll with the taro milk tea and its consistently fire every single time, hands down. The best part is the satisfaction of stabbing the seals on the top of drink. It's my one moment of peace in an otherwise chaotic and busy hellscape that we call life. Deuces read more

JC Bubble Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

I never would have believed that one day we would reach a point where there are three different places where you can get bubble tea in Cordova Mall. JC Bubble tea is the one near the outdoor exit to the food court. It's not one of the regular businesses but rather a little stand with a few bar stools where you can sit while waiting for your tea to be made. The people behind the counter are really nice and actually started remembering my order after my first visit. I've found that I either or love or hate the boba from places and JC does it right! They have a nice selection of milk tea, iced tea, smoothies, and slushes. I'm all about the milk tea and I had theirs several time during my visit. It would be nice if there was an option to select the level of sweetness in your drink. I've gotten used to ordering mine with a lower sweetness level. JC Bubble tea is where I go for my boba when I'm in town. read more

This place is in the food court of the Cordova mall. It's a stand so be careful not to miss it. I ordered a matcha latte, and it was DELICIOUS! Definitely really enjoyed the matcha. I asked if I could try the tapioca bubbles and I thought that the person working there wasn't very pleasant about it. The service wasn't as welcoming as other people have described. Regardless though, the tea was great. Very flavorful, not watered down at all, and definitely can taste the tea. read more

Their drinks are amazing! The bubble tea (with the tapioca) in the mango flavor is my personal favorite. The people that work there are also super kind every time I've came by for a drink. If you're at Cordova mall, you really ought to get a drink there, they're great :)! read more

Very good service and hard working employees. Always kind. I love going here every time im at the mall.

I asked for boba and it was really obvious she realized she gave me the wrong thing because half of my pearls are boba and the other half are the balls that pop and have juice in them... wish she would have just told me instead of me walking all the way back to my car and realizing my drink was wrong. read more

JC Bubble Tea - Wrong order - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Okay just to clarify for those of you who are like me and don't follow directions well it's located in the food court of the Cordova mall! Not its own separate shop. Anyway, I came here 40 mins before closing there was no line, just one lady working, and her service was quick. I ordered the black tea with boba (50 cents extra for boba). It was perfect for what I was craving not too sweet (like most boba places make it) just nice and light. I only wish she put more boba at the bottom but the price is average and its got a cute little bar set up to enjoy your drink read more

JC Bubble Tea - Yummy black tea. Just wish there was more boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

I've had a fair share of delicious bubble tea in my life, and this place is definitely not on the list. Milk tea is always my choice of selection when it comes to bubble tea. My milk tea tasted more like a cup of sweet syrup. It was lacking a tea taste as well. It tasted like milk with a bucket of syrup mixed in it. My friend ordered the Rose bubble tea and didn't get pass two sips. She ended up tossing it in the trash. read more

My favorite place to get boba and tea/coffee. The nicest service ever and absolutely delicious. I go here everytime I go to the mall.

The best place to get any drinks in the mall, always kind and friendly. Their Vanilla bubble milk tea is the best!

Atmosphere: The location is in the food court inside Cordova Mall, so like any mall food court, it was loud and bustling with people. But the area is in a little corner, so there's not too many people in front. Drinks: I may be biased, since I'm used to the bubble tea from the Chinatown in Houston. Everything is made with syrups, so I'm not impressed. The drinks themselves aren't too sweet. I got the House milk tea without tapioca because they were completely out of rose milk tea. My sister got the lavender milk tea, and I ordered a mocha smoothie for my uncle. It surprisingly wasn't too sweet, since I forgot to ask to alter the sweetness. But honestly, that wouldn't have mattered anyway because the service sucked. Service: I understand being the only worker there can be stressful and hard. It can be difficult, but legitimately, there were two people ahead of me and one girl behind me. The woman took a bit of time to fix the two customers' drinks ahead of me, but neither me nor my sister minded. We just waited patiently for our turn. But when she got to us, she left halfway while I was giving her our order. And when she came back, she looked at me like I was an idiot. It was so off-putting that I completely forgot to ask to reduce sugar and ice, if possible at all. You know, I get we all have bad days, but I was just so put-off by her attitude. Price: I swear, I think it's the only bubble tea place around Pensacola, since the Asian population isn't big. But it was still pretty dang expensive in my experience. I honestly don't think I'll return. Nor will I return to Cordova Mall in general, but that's a whole other thing. read more

We happened upon JC while visiting family. It's in Cordova Mall. The place was like a library - very quiet. Both the coconut and almond bubble tea had an after taste that reminded us of soap. We couldn't finish them. Disappointed. There are two other places in this Mall that sell bubble tea. We will try those before going back to JC. read more

Love this place! I usually order the taro smoothie with yogurt boba and it is amazing every time.

We stop here any time we are either at the mall or in that general are. I always order the mango boba tea with rainbow pearls, my kid's and husband normally pick a mango smoothie or their watermelon smoothie with rainbow pearls. The drinks are always yummy and the friendly staff, is just as amazing as their drinks! Definitely 5 star service and I would 100% recommend to family and friend's. read more

Finally some real boba! I tried their honeydew milk tea at first, but didnt like it. It was too watery and some of the powder hadn't dissolved so I could taste the granulated powder all bunched up. Their ice teas are so much better. Mango black tea was so refreshing and at the perfect sweetness. Ever since then, I've always made the trip out at least once a week to JC's. Definitely worth it if you love boba! read more

This is hands down my favorite boba place in Pensacola! My favorite drink is jasmine milk tea with lychee jelly! It's not overwhelming sweet and doesn't taste milky and syrupy. When they suddenly closed down temporarily, my friend and I were so upset but now they are back and better! I've recommended their tea to all my other friends as I think it's the best. read more

Best bubble tea I have ever had loved my coconut flavored with passion fruit and I loved the bubbles and the flavor of them

I was so excited to see a bubble tea in our mall! I saw it was Sunday and checked the hours. It said they would open at noon. I arrived at noon to find the stand completely empty. I waited for a half hour for the stand to open and still nothing. I am so very disappointed. read more

The Jasmine bubble tea was great with the sweetness I like(I ask for less sugar). The lady was nice and friendly! I will definitely come back and try more flavors. read more

The flavor of this stuff is wonderful. The service, however, leaves something to be desired. I noticed that my credit card was charged wrong. I was asked to come into the store to retrieve what they owed me in cash. I gave them another shot, but he was so busy that he made the wrong sized drink and threw extra ice in it to fill the cup. I guess I was disappointed in the way the money was handled. There was no apology, nor did they offer to fix anything from the store. read more

It was great! I had a mango bubble tea with the passion fruit boba it was awesome.

Most authentic bubble tea I've tried in Pensacola. Super excited that a place like this exists here. I'm from LA and I'm used to soft boba and this place has it. Flavor of the tea is very prominent as well, not like the powdery stuff where you can't adjust the sugar levels. I'd recommend this place to boba lovers :) read more

This place used to be great however it now lacks the customer service required to be in the food business. As a loyal customer I have been to this establishment many times. Today I was treated very rudely. I order the same thing every time I come there but today I was given the wrong order. When I tried to tell the worker that this was not my order I was very rudely told that if I wanted the drink I ordered I would have to pay again. Needless to say I will not be coming back. read more
