Great drinks and service! Very quick, efficient and friendly. The drinks themselves are great with lots of options and customizations

Absolutely delicious. I love the variety of options (although my go-to is always the tiger stripe) offered here. read more

I got the Jasmine Green Milk Tea with tapioca boba, 50% less sugar, less ice, and with oat milk. The drink was okay, the sweetness level was perfect. However I felt like the milk tea didn't have a strong flavor or presence. I would've liked to taste the tea more in my drink. The tapioca was really good, I liked the consistency and chewy texture. The boba part of the drink was executed very well. Service was fast and the staff were friendly. They had free stickers! There's a bunch of cute stickers and trinkets by the cashier. Inside, there were a bunch of tables to choose from. When you go inside you'll see that this place also shares the space with an ice cream shop. The interior was very colorful and we enjoyed our time and drinks there. I'd come back and try their other flavors. read more

As someone who is Asian and really loves boba, I'd have to say my drink at Pop Bubble Tea was mediocre. I ordered a black milk tea with boba with half sugar and less ice. The workers behind the register were really sweet and gave me a free sticker; they also told me a little about the shop. However, the service couldn't make up for the unauthentic taste and too-sweet-drink. I'm not sure I'd come back here since I prefer authentic boba, but I will admit that it quelled the boba cravings while I was in the mountains for a week. read more

Located in the Merrimon Square plaza, Pop Bubble Tea also shares space with The Hop Ice Cream Shop - so it's a great place to meet your sweet cravings. I was greeted by 2 friendly ladies working behind the counter. I ordered a mango fruit tea with black tea. Normally, I would have taken it with green or jasmine tea; the black tea was very good too! The also offer packaged asian snacks and adorable kawaii gifts. A very cute and chill place to enjoy boba. Looking forward to more visits. read more

Cute place in a pretty convenient spot. Boba is nice and they offer punch cards too. Overall nice place to get quick boba!

Y'all, I do declare, I just enjoyed the most perfect brown sugar boba in a matcha milk tea. I have ordered here several times, but the boba tonight caught my attention enough to write a review. Seriously, the boba was perfectly prepared, spherical and toothsome. I used to frequent boba shops in Little Tokyo in LA, and I am very happy with the boba tonight at Pop! Also, cute place with friendly staff :) read more

I love the boba it's so delicious everyone should try it. The service is amazing.the ambiance is great.

So glad this store opened up because the other boba options in Asheville are questionable. The milk tea was not too sweet at 50% sugar and you can tell that the tea is actually brewed and not made from powder. The tapioca pearls could be a little chewier but I am looking forward to trying the other toppings! read more

Took forever they need more staff. 30 minutes for boba is unacceptable. Complete disorganization. Used to come here all the time but probably won't be back. Completely derailed my evening plans. read more

I love Bubble Rea and this is such a fun way to try many different types. I keep returning again and again.

Super nice staff. The tapioca was really good. The milk tea itself was decent, and I liked the ability to choose what kind of milk I wanted.

Out of this world!!! I try bubble tea in almost every city I visit- and this place is the BEST! The tapioca is chewy and flavorful- soooo fresh. I'm not a fan of the super sweet and got a oat milk matcha with ginger and brown sugar tapioca, zero sweetness. Unreal. I am now craving it all the time. (It's going to be so hard when I move away ) Service was outstanding. The folks that work there are knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. I always get my drink quickly- even when the line is long. BIG shoutout to cofounders Eva and Ashley for creating a lovely, lovely place and product. read more

For the price paid, I my only critique is I really really wish there were more matcha in it. The local honey I added is carrying the flavor alone read more

This was a beautiful little place run by an amazing woman! I felt very taken care of and the drinks were very tasty. The owner of the store was horribly nice and took great pride in her work. If you looked back before they called your number, you could see her taking pictures of them, and having this huge smile on her face, it was honestly the most endearing thing. If you want a tasty drink, a friendly smile, and good vibes; this is the place to go. read more

Mediocre and pricey. Once you've tried true Boba Tea in Los Angeles or New York City, both with large Asian Communities (Boba Tea originated in Taiwan), Pop Bubble Tea just can't compare ... it's just a poor cultural appropriation of the real thing. read more

Great bubble tea, and not too sweet! Definitely the best in Asheville. Service was also really nice. Got the mango green tea and oolong ginger tea. read more

Disgusting. Ordered a strawberry matcha. I am not sure if an ingredient was bad or what but this was undrinkable. It went in the trash when I got home. Such a waste of $10. Unfortunately had already left parking lot before trying and couldn't turn around. Half the cup looked like it was syrup. Couldn't taste any matcha. This is my go to drink at any boba or tea shop and this is the worst I've ever had. Staff were nice and the space was clean. read more

Good boba for North Carolina, all the taste is balanced, not too sweet. Vibe is nice as well staff were very nice and a welcoming smile. Fo sho gonna come back. read more

Phenomenal bubble tea is finally in WNC. High quality ingredients combined artfully with genuine care and knowledge make Pop a magical place to visit. My son and I have developed a weekly habit, as this is the best bubble tea we have ever had. The owners are truly gracious and kind and one of them, lovely Eva, enjoys sharing her childhood traditions with all that come in the door. Everything is delicious but you must try the oolong milk tea with coffee jellies made from local Pennycup coffee. Amazing! read more
