What a joke! We walk in and they ask if we have ever been here before? We say no and they go over their drinks. We realize then that ice cream is off to the side. We look at the menu and order the first ice cream. The girl making the ice cream is a tad slower than a sloth. A group comes in and they ask us if we are going to order more? We say yes, we were waiting for her/someone to ask. Assuming the same girl is taking our order. They then tell us we have to go back to the other counter to order and they help all the new people. read more

Great thai tea. Has a very cute and comfortable interior. Fast service as well. Definitely recommend.

I had the worst experience here. It was my first time getting rolled ice cream and I was so excited to try it I looked in yelp to find a good place and figured based on some reviews you guys would be the best bet. First of all, my order was incorrect. Second, whoever the girl was that rolled my ice cream must not have had any idea what she was doing. First she had the surface too cold, then it was to hot, back to too cold, my ice cream wouldn't roll. Instead of starting over and making my ice cream and experience better, she gave up and put minimal effort.. read more

La Boba is back to being awesome! Amazing owners who care about their customers. Plus, they're from California which is why their boba is so bobalicious! Best in all of Missouri! read more

Get in my tummy!!!! Haha get it from Austin powers, like not the first one but the sequel, which I found to be more entertaining than the first but most critics wouldn't agree which I think is totally insane. Like the characters are more flushed out they introduce mini me and fat bastard who are ICONIC like hello wake up America this movie, nah this film, is a classic and needs to get more attention. read more

I was in there yesterday around noon with no clue as to what I was ordering. The boy behind the counter was really patient with helping me figure out what kind of drink I would enjoy and had awesome customer service. I will certainly be back! read more

This is my daughters favorite place she wants me to take her to. We get the unicorn smoothies and they are fun and great tasting. Its very swanky on the inside and out of place but its seriously good and a cool place to visit and enjoy desert. They have many options on the menu so we may try something different next visit read more

I LOVE this place! I heard about it from others & I honestly didn't know what to order or even what it was all about. With not sure on what to order, I received excellent customer service from a young man whom was very patient with me & helped me get the pefect drink. I can now say I LOVE La Boba, I WILL be back & I would strongly recommend all to go! read more

Delicious fresh ingredients. Strawberry with kiwi boba,very refreshing.Trying cherry with passion. Boba next.

I wanted so badly to LOVE this place.....However, this is NOT the case! When the drinks are made correctly and the Boba is fresh, it's Awesome....but out of maybe 10 visits that has sadly happened only once. The staff for the most part is rude....I've only had 2 experiences where they were decent.....I wait 15 minutes plus for our drinks- that's beginning the time when the person ahead of us walks out the door! And just to be clear, these are just milk teas....not frappe or smoothie type drinks.....and usually there is only 2 drinks.....also everyone ordering after us receives their drinks before us.....I'm just beyond disappointed. At one point, I stated the drink didn't taste like before and was told by staff, " Come back next time and we'll make it like before"......oh, okay....Thanks! Being in the restaurant business myself in the past.....I would never tell a customer " Come back next time and we'll make your steak the way you ordered it then"......I read the reviews about the staff being rude, the inconsistency of the product, but I just wanted Boba!!! SO- save your money$, and save half a day waiting and go somewhere else.....where you won't be constantly disappointed..... read more

I love this place! Very good tea options and several types of boba/jellies. There is something here for any taste! The ice cream rolls are wonderful too - I had the taro coconut. Because of the way it freezes, it's thicker and smoother texture - similar to gelato. The building is cool, I love the decor inside. Great for picking up something to go, or spending time with friends hanging out there. I am a frequent visitor! read more

Wonderful place to go and get your favorite dessert on. They ice cream roll is out of this world. Definitely my new hangout for dessert and treat. Boba tea is also delicious read more

I LOVE boba tea, Boba tea from California, New York, North Carolina, Japan, China, Ireland, New Zealand. I was beyond excited when I found this place in Springfield, but oh my gosh no. My husband and I tried more than once, every time it was horrible. The tea taste dirty, the jelly in some is nasty and taste rotten. I tried, I really did. Good thing Sociatea is now in town I will gladly drive the extra distance. read more

Delicious rolled ice cream but only three stars based on service. My husband and I ordered together. I received my ice cream and by the time I finished his was done. There were two people making ice cream so I'm not sure what the problem was. They don't take names for orders so other customer who just ordered can steal your order. Poor customer service sinks a business so matter how good the product is. Shouldn't be long before this place closes at this rate. read more

Arguably one of the best tea places I've visited nationally. Good service with a friendly staff.

Drove 25 minutes to get to the cafe only to be told that they stop serving ice cream 30 minutes before close. Well, they stopped before that because we were there at 7:27 and the ice cream was completely cleaned out of the area. When I worked in a restaurant, you closed machines closer to actual closing time of the restaurant and cleaned up after the store was closed. Disappointed to say the least. Bad first impression, so probably won't be back. read more

I've tried boba drinks at other spots in Springfield but the quality at La boba is the best! You can taste the freshness in the boba and their black milk tea is my favorite! Definitely place to go to satisfy my sweet tooth! read more

the place itself is nice and pretty and the employees are polite and helpful but the tea is less than mediocre. the vanilla bean milk tea tasted like bubblegum milk and their coffee tastes like cheap folgers coffee. go to societea instead. read more

Hesitantly, I tried a boba drink at a Vietnamese restaurant here in town with a friend and discovered a new favorite, so when I found this cafe I was very happy~a restaurant specializing in this drink! They have smoothies, coffees, milk teas and even snow cones, all with fresh fruits, unique flavors, and different bobas to choose from and so far I have loved every one that I've tried. The La Boba Special and the Honeydew melon smoothies are my favorites so far, and today I tried the Love Passion with strawberry infused boba (strawberry, mango and peach I think--so good though a little heavy on the peach). The staff has been very friendly and patient as I've stood looking at the menu, trying to decide which one I'd like to try and even offered samples of the different bobas and jellies to help me try before I buy. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try something new, to have a smoothie that has actual fruit in it, or an iced coffee that isn't heavy on the ice. Actually, I recommend this place to everyone. read more

I came here because I heard of this place from others. I thought to my self, why not give it a whril? I have never had boba anything before so I came here with my family, cause they have had boba before in Japan. I had the peach boba, they had the melon boba and green tea boba. To my surprise they were really good. We came here the 2nd time so this time I had the lychee smoothie with boba. I really like this place its really relaxing and truly enjoy myself there. They have free wi-fi and two tvs if you're into that kind of stuff. They not only have boba, but a variety of smoothies, cold drinks, teas hot/cold, signature drinks and milk teas. Good place to relax, they don't serve any foods and they will (if not already), be serving ice cream prepared on a anti griddle. What flavors, well why don't you come in your self and find out..... hope to see you there.... Boba, now that's the stuff..... see ya there..... read more
