    What a cute little shot with delicious drinks!cozy vibe, helpful staff I got the signature brown sugar whip cheese and it was the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The boba was soft and chewy. I had a problem trying to enjoy my drink longer because I drank it down so fast! Will be back!

    Strawberry Matcha
    Dawn M.

    Arrived here on a Sunday. Super slow and chill. Not busy at all which was nice. Located in the Culdesac area is a Vietnamese inspired boba shop. Cute decor and nice comfy seats for relaxing. I got the strawberry matcha. Very creamy drink. Not too sweet, just right with no adjustments. They do offer milk alternatives. No bathrooms. Helpful employees. I'd come back to try the bahn mis!

    Nomad Boba is located on the north side of Culdesac Community in Tempe. There's street parking out front on Apache Blvd and in a lot by Busan Mart. I ordered the Smooth Ube Latte Boba without caffeine. I forgot to modify the sweetness but it was just right! Good ice to boba ratio. I liked my wife's Strawberry Matcha as well! They've got a butterfly garden theme going on inside. There's a long couch that seats 8-9 people and an ottoman that can seat 4. There wasn't any seating outside but plenty throughout the Culdesac Community. Service was quick and friendly! Can't wait to come back and try a bahn mi!

    Salted Caramel Matcha

    Located at the culdesac, this boba spot offers teas, boba, matcha, milk shakes and even Vietnamese sandwiches. We ordered the coconut matcha and salted caramel matcha. The shop is small and cozy with excellent service. Unfortunately there isn't any outdoor seating. Would go again to try out something different.

    Nomad Boba was a total hit with my sister and I. We love to try new boba spots when we get together and we were so excited to stumble upon this shop. Despite ordering very different drinks (me with a lavender matcha boba and my sister with a brown sugar boba), we were both very pleased with our beverages and their flavors. They were served to us quickly and the clerk was very helpful with our questions about the menu. A great find!

    Coconut cream coffee boba

    Located on the edge of the Culdesac community, Nomad Boba is a Vietnamese-inspired boba shop situated alongside a walkable hub of boutiques. This little cafe has a beautiful interior with an excellent lineup of creative Viet coffee drinks, iced teas, and milk teas. We tried the coconut coffee boba--which has a great coconut cream and flake topping with perfectly chewy boba--and a creamy tiramisu coffee latte. Both were great with strong coffee (my preference!) and less sweetness upon request. The owner is super nice. He's a recent college grad who made sure our drinks tasted great and the boba was properly cooked. The business has been open for about two weeks, so I'd definitely recommend trying them out, giving them some support, and walking around Culdesac with a great drink in hand!

    Vietnamese Salt Coffee
    Brandon Y.

    Phenomenal drinks and sandwiches. I had just gotten back from Saigon and wanted to see if there were any similar tasting places nearby. This place exceeded all expectations. I ordered their Vietnamese Egg coffee and subbed for the Salt foam. Also ordered their Chicken Banh Mi. Honestly just as good as you could get abroad. Quang provided five star level service. I ordered for pickup and he filled the salt foam as I walked in and offered to reheat the sandwich. I say better than Lee Lee's. Will be back for sure

    Such a cute spot. Really hard to find for first timers but overall a good experience. I ordered the strawberry matcha boba and a flan and some cheese bites which were really good, however I did ask for a bag to but my items in and they didn't have any. The strawberry was delicious, and the matcha was on point. The employee was very resourceful and gave me a home depot one he had aside to accommodate me. The drink itself was pretty good. The boba was a bit harder than I was hoping but good. I wish they had pictures or better detail. I didn't realize till after I ordered that yelp had pictures of certain drinks. Would go again to try something else.

    Coconut coffee cream boba and pandan cream boba
    Sylvie L.

    Came here after eating lunch and I was craving boba. Loved the different milky flavors they offered here. The tapioca was fresh and drinks taste great. I got the pandan cream boba, family got the coconut coffee boba and classic milk tea bobas. Will definitely come back.

    Their matcha and boba are simply amazing. Everything I've gotten so far has been delicious and the staff are always friendly. Highly recommend!

    Now that they have the sandwiches this place is one of my favorites. Have loved their boba from the beginning but that put it over the top

    On a recommendation from a friend, I ventured to Tempe to try out this Taiwanese tea house. I…read moreordered the Osthmanthus milk tea (dairy free) with signature black tea jelly and an order of original egg puffs (couldn't resist). I loved both and can't wait to try all of their grass jelly flavors! The interior has ample space to enjoy your treats and drink with company or solo. The tables and chairs are clean and well-kept. There is a bathroom requiring a code. I appreciated the free parking in the garage and the boba signs that pointed me where to go and find Hechalou Tea & Jelly. The location is right across from the light rail stop so it is also convenient for those who want to use public transit. Service is friendly and the ambiance is casual and happy. Thank you!

    Wow! Simply decorated (green theme) and efficiently run milk tea shop. My boyfriend and I love…read moreTaiwanese-style drinks, and I've been eyeing this place for awhile.... Very happy we did. I wanted to taste a bit of everything- I tried the Black Peach Milk Tea with the Thai Tea and Black Sesame jellies. He got the brown sugar matcha with boba. Finally, as a promotion, the very friendly staff gave us a free Oolong milk tea with oolong jelly! Nice! Their milk tea is extremely rich and full of "tea" flavor. I felt as though the peach in my black peach milk tea was a bit lost in my drink with my jelly types- next time I'll opt for only one flavor of jelly. The jellies were smooth and flavorful- the black sesame had a nice depth of flavor without being too sweet. The Thai tea jelly was great. My boyfriend's matcha with brown sugar boba was sweeter, but very good. The boba was perfectly cooked. The free drink (oolong milk tea with oolong jelly) was DELICIOUS! The tea and the jelly had a rich, toasty flavor. Unfortunately, we couldn't finish it all because the milk was so rich and we had already tried our own drinks. In the future, I'll probably stick to a small drink- the milk is very high quality, but very rich alongside the jellies. Staff was very friendly, and it was clean. Parking is a bit confusing, but just follow the signs and you will be OK. Can't wait to come back and try a slushy or green tea.

    DaYung's Tea is one of my new favorite boba spots in the valley! I stopped by on Easter Sunday, and…read morethankfully they were open. They weren't packed, but even if it were, there's ample seating inside with tables and booths. There's free WiFi, individual men and women's bathrooms, a quiet ambiance (at least it was on the Sunday afternoon when I visited), and board games! I inquired if they make the ceylon black tea in a milk tea and was informed that that's exactly what the boba milk tea is. The boba cost is included in the drink price. Although it wasn't on the menu, I asked for a foam on top, and a vanilla cold foam was added on top of my drink for an additional $1. I don't know the exact volume of the cup, but it seems a little bigger than normal bobas due to its width (but maybe I'm tripping). Ultimately, I spent under $10 for a customized drink that I love and couldn't be happier! I loved the taste of the tea specifically and the sweetness of the rest of the drink. It felt very well-balanced. I'm glad I made the trek to try this place out and know I'll be back!

    This place was alright. I wanted Boba, but I didn't get any, probably because I didn't…read morespecifically ask it to be added. That's on me. The drinks by themselves were good though. I got 2 drinks a macchiato and a milk tea and they were both very good! The sugar jelly was quite interesting! The macchiato would have been peak with some brown sugar boba in it ;)
