Why didn't the Sun go to college? Because it already has millions of degrees :D Ok enough with the jokes, time to get Sirius. My wife and I came here on a Saturday. Or was it on a Moon-day? Anyway, it wasn't busy and we didn't have trouble finding a parking space. As I explored the expansive boba menu my eyes gravitated towards an unfamiliar one, sesame milk tea. I was feeling adventurous (I am a Pisces) and got it with 75% sweetness. It was out of this world! It tasted mildly sweet and a bit nutty. I liked the flavor of my wife's (unmodified) Thai tea honey lemon, but it was astronomically sweet. One more sip would have launched my blood sugar level to the moon! As we sipped our drinks we admired the space themed interior. There's three tables for two, a pair of chairs, a bench, and a kids picnic table. Prices are on par with other boba places. Great service! The employee was hospitable and we didn't have to wait a light year for our drinks. Overall, I had a stellar experience at Nova Boba!

Owner was very sweet and happy to take our order right when they opened! My husband got the honeydew milk tea as a frappe with brown sugar boba. He loves boba and said it was an amazing flavor! I got the mocha frappe and really enjoy it! I love sweeter coffees and the size is great! The store itself was very cute and the theming is well done and matches the cups. We're definitely going back again!

The service was excellent, and the staff we spoke with were very friendly. The interior ambiance is a bit small, but that's expected for a boba shop. However, it had a nice, relaxed atmosphere. The boba was also quite good, and I particularly enjoyed the matcha coco.

Amazing new boba place in town! They had such a fun menu to choose from. There are lots of fun options for different types of Thai tea as well! You can also make your own and there are different bases? Flavors and boba to add! We tried the strawberry Thai tea and the lemon tea. Both were delicious! And the lemon tea tasted like we were back in Thailand. Very friendly staff and can't wait to go back!

Menu

This boba spot is ok. It's located at a busy area, just across the street from Epicenter (Higley & Ray) in Gilbert. It is also located next to a pretty decent Thai place, Ta Lew Thai Bistro. The place was pretty compact, were the max capacity of about 20 people. It's pretty clean and quiet, except when you go in and out of their bathroom. The bathroom and door did not have a soft clothes mechanism so when you go in and out of it, the door slams pretty loud. The menu was decent, but it did not one of my favorite flavors, Ube and avocado. I had a sesame milk tea with coconut jelly, my wife had a taro milk, tea, 200% sweetened, with crystal Boba, and my kids shared a strawberry frappe with regular Boba. The sizes were pretty OK, but they put too much ice. It was worth a try being new in the neighborhood, but I think we'll go to our usual Boba spot.

This place has been my go-to boba spot in town with reasonable price and friendly service. And I'm so happy that they added sushi on their menu now! I tried their epics roll and combo tuna with my favorite drink(sesame milk). Everything was delicious. Can't wait to go back and try something else on the menu.

Excellent Thai Tea and they have a ton of Thai tea variations. My favorite is the strawberry jam Thai tea. But all the drinks are good! Staff is so friendly. It's in a great location too!

They are new and very friendly. Family owned and Boba is good. Must try will be going again!

A black bowl contains sliced beef garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, accompanied by a sushi roll topped with orange fish roe on a black tray.

Here's yourI just ordered the beef bowl and sushi, and I was really impressed. The flavors were amazing, and the portions were so generous! I wasn't expecting to get that much food, but it was definitely worth it. They also had boba, which was a great bonus!

Amazing service. Chill vibes. Yummy tea!!! I've been about 4 times now and never disappoints

Fresh Milk Brown Sugar with Boba - A person holds a cup of milk tea with boba, along with a receipt from Nova Boba in Gilbert, AZ, showing the drink's name and details.

I have boba pretty regularly. The boba was definitely old and was not a good texture at all. It tasted like when you leave boba in your fridge overnight, too soft and unpleasant. I do not recommend this place, there are far better options around.

Thai Tea Strawberry w brown sugar boba and oat milk - A person holds a tall, clear cup of bubble tea with orange-colored tea and black tapioca pearls at the bottom, featuring a cartoon logo of a smiling bubble tea cup.

Will be returning to try all the flavors! We just walked in on a whim and were greeted right away! Ordered off the tablet in the front and got a Thai tea strawberry! Best boba drink I've had in Gilbert! I love the way this place was decorated as well

I'm not one to usually crave boba, but I was in the mood. I'm so happy I stopped by here…read more Both my bf and I really enjoyed our drinks. I got the roasted brown sugar 50% sweet and that was perfect for me since I don't like too sweet. I've also tried the cheese foam matcha 50% sweet also great. I think it would have been better to drink some of it without the straw because I feel like I missed the cheese foam experience. I've never had cheese foam and so far I feel like it reminds of cold foam just less sweet. I also tried the mango green tea. I think 75% sweet and that was perfect as well. Both times my boyfriend got their house, strawberry milk with added Boba, it sounds silly, but it's actually so delicious. Their fresh strawberry is so yummy! They're also offer free samples of their rice pudding, SO GOOD I can't wait to buy the full product! Service was super friendly and patient. They can get busy super fast but they still seem to get drinks out pretty quickly. You can also order for pick up Very clean, simple aesthetic. Some what cozy enough to sit for a bit and read. Moderate amount of seating, doesn't seem to fill up too quickly Plenty of parking, easy to find They offer a punch card and I've almost filled mine up because I'm so excited to keep trying new drinks haha

​I stumbled upon this super cute boba spot and was immediately in love! The interior is such a vibe…read moreand provides so many great spots for photo ops. The staff was also very friendly! ​My friend tried the Strawberry Matcha and I went with the Shooting Star with Strawberry Popping Boba. It was incredibly refreshing exactly what I needed on a hot Arizona day! ​If you're looking for a trendy atmosphere and delicious drinks you have to visit!! I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

If happiness had a flavor, it would definitely be served in a cup at Bubble Bee Tea Shop and Boba…read more We popped in on a Sunday afternoon expecting a little wait (because, hello, weekend boba cravings are real), but the line zoomed faster than tapioca pearls in a wide straw. The team behind the counter? Absolute sunshine. The nicest humans. Smiling, quick, and somehow managing to be both speedy and genuinely warm -- like caffeinated ninjas of customer service Let's talk menu magic. It's packed with fun, fruity, fizzy, creamy goodness -- basically a choose-your-own-adventure for your taste buds. But the real MVP in our book? The mango all-day option for cotton candy and caffeinated beverages. Mango lovers, prepare yourselves. It's bright, sweet, refreshing, and tastes like summer decided to throw a party in a cup. Everything came out fast, perfectly made, and handed over with a smile. Outstanding customer service, amazing drinks, and an all-around happy vibe? Yes, please. We came. We sipped. We smiled. We will absolutely be back.

This location is always typically busy on the weekends. It is quite small inside so stay away…read moreduring their busy times or you'll be rubbing up against people that are sitting, waiting for their drinks, and those who are in line. The employees are usually friendly and drinks are made quickly. Thera a few tables inside and outside to sit at. Perfect spot to stop at if you are running around thirsty while shopping!

When you walk in, the shop is very inviting. The bright yellows and whites help brighten and warm…read morethe room. I was surprised at how extensive the menu was; I thought there would be a majority of drinks and two items to snack on, but there were definitely more than I was prepared to decide on. I opted for the popcorn chicken. As I waited for my food, there was a couple fun things to see, like their wall of blind boxes you can purchase. For the price of the popcorn chicken, I felt that the amount I received was very fair, and honestly worth it. There were a lot of big pieces of chicken (suchhhh a perk since it could have been all deep fry), and the flavour was super yummy. I think next time I'd order it with extra seasoning or garlic/basil (? I think they had these two in there). I felt it could have been seasoned just a SMIDGE more, but it was still tasty. After iTea left a popcorn chicken sized hole in my heart, I felt this was a suitable replacement. I haven't gotten the drinks yet, but am excited to try it next!

Sono Kitchen & Boba is a great addition to San Tan Village!…read more I've been to Sono a few times now and each time I had a wonderful experience. The space is clean and offers plenty of seating. The staff is always friendly and the food and drinks are consistent. My go-tos are matcha (with or without strawberry) with boba, salt & pepper popcorn tofu, and takoyaki. Flavorful and decent portions and prices. Perfect if you want something quick.

This boba shop is soooooo cute! Their cups even have cute kitty ears so u feel like your cats are…read moreright next to you, enjoying a matcha milk tea! I was happy with my 25% sweet level matcha! It was very lightly sweetened; just how Iike it! If you're like me and you like grass jelly, then you'll be disappointed! They have pretty much every other topping, except grass jelly! The shop is super cute! It's like a mini round 1 with all the claw machines that they have! They sell all types of goodies; not only boba tea! Cheesecake, mochi balls, fried chicken. I didn't try their mochi balls, but my friend tried it, and she said they were excellent! Will be back here to try a few of their sweet items when I'm in the mood!

Boba CuCue is an adorable boba shop adorned with cherry blossoms and claw machines!…read more The staff wasn't the friendliest, but was able to answer a question I had. Their menu offers a combination of drinks (and toppings) and food items. They offer more food items than most boba shops, although most everything appeared to have gluten in it... so it was a no-go for me. For my drink, I opted for a matcha milk tea with oat milk. It arrived unmixed which is fine... but I noticed that it appears to have black tea in it along with the matcha powder and oat milk. I like black tea too... but it's definitely weak on matcha flavor... and it's really more like a matcha-flavored black tea. Not my "cup of tea" but at least it should have more caffeine than a typical matcha milk tea. ****FOUR STARS****
