Rustic bubble tea cafe is a great place for snacks and for a date. There's a hugeeee selection of tea,.flavors and snacks that you can get there. While the environment isn't the most modern, they have tables and enough seats to accommodate customers..and you can definitely spend as much/little time there as you want. What I loved about Rustic Bubble Tea Cafe was...the selection! I found so many flavors that I would like to try that other places just don't offer (for example..guava..who has that flavor at all other than Rustic?!? But..it tasted good! Not overly sweet at all!!). I also liked that the service was quick!! I think when I went, it was the owner making the drink. He was very proficient with his drink creation! I would totally stop by this place again. Nothing fancy..you you can definitely find some drinks that you like..along with some light snacks and a place to spend and kill some time! read more

Highly recommend, I've only been there once and I had a mango smoothie with mango bursting boba. Oh my lord!! Literally the BEST thing that I have ever had. I love this place, definitely will be returning for more visits. Service was quick, and staff is friendly. The shop is clean and aesthetically pleasing. read more

Rustic Bubble Tea is a cute small restaurant. I've only ever ordered boba, but hope to try their food. During the pandemic, dining hasn't been available. We've ordered many a slushies and teas. Most of the slushies are powered, so they tend to be on the sweeter side. The blended drinks are always smooth and creamy. The boba texture is decent. A little tough, but not bad when I froze my matcha boba for later. My favorite drinks are Rose and Matcha. Next time, I could ask for less sweet. Wish they did rewards, so I could go more often. read more

i think it's one of the best bubble teas in town. they offer so many flavors and combinations and the staff is really friendly.

Great place for you're looking for amazing boba tea! The best in Albuquerque! The owner (Huy) is super friendly! He's originally from the Bay Area (San Jose) and brought the best boba teas here! If you know, the Bay Area is very diverse and are known for having the best types of foods around. The avocado smoothie and drinks are made of real fruits (and some sugar) of course. Most places use powder and pure sugar and no fruits in their drinks (more profitable). The tea, boba, grass jelly and other toppings here are freshly cooked to perfection! Yes, he uses real tea. The tea is not bitter and super smooth. If you want quality drinks come here and support the man and his small business! My Bay Area folks! Come support your own people! I heard this place use to be super packed, but had a bad employee. That employee was a good friend in need of help, out of kindness of his soul he tried to help him, but the friend ran this place down to the ground. He lost a lot of his normal costumer's. Good news is he no longer works here. The owner runs the shop now. read more

I liked my tea. However there are so many choices, I kind of felt overwhelmed. I felt pressured to just pick one so I didn't hold up the line. I'll come back again but maybe read the menu ahead of time and decided which to pick at home. read more

This is my favorite boba tea shop in Albuquerque, and I've tried a dozen or so. They have lots of options for customization (including reducing the sweetness level, which I appreciate since some boba shops make their tea too sweet for my taste!), the shop is clean, and they are fast at putting together all the custom teas. Best of all, the boba is always fresh and perfectly chewy. This is a small locally-owned shop that deserves everyone to know how great they are! read more

I really wanted to love Rustic Bubble Tea. My friend and I stopped by on a Wednesday afternoon. I was warmly greeted and given a few recommendations. I decided on the coffee milk tea with Boba. It was good but nothing out of this world. The café was a little run down and needed a good clean. It also had a ton of high school students at the time of day we came. read more

This place is super convenient since it's right off Of Juan Tabo. I like stopping here since it's close to me, and everything inside is great. The menu is well written, and they also offer pho and other food items which is great! The staff are very friendly as well. It is not my favorite place for boba, but it is pretty good. read more

They've come a long way, Baby! Good to see an independent joint hang in there through thick and thin, and that pesky Rona! A lot of options here, along with informative advice from the employees (the owner?). If this is your side of town, you'll want to get your boba fix on here. Cheers! read more

Our all time favorite boba place in Albuquerque!! We have tried most every boba shop in town and always find ourselves craving Rustic and coming back for more! Our favorite is the snow bubble and there are so many different flavors and being able to have more than 1 flavor, there are so many combinations that you could do. We find ourselves trying something new and enjoying our drinks every single time. We usually come for the drinks but when we had their popcorn chicken it was delicious too. Would recommend Rustic to anyone who's never tried boba before or just anyone in general! read more

I LOVE this place. I've been coming here since they opened when I was in high school, and it has always been the Tea shop I constantly recommend! Their Rose Milk Tea is to die for! It's never too flowery, and is always delicious. Their food is also pretty good as well! The inside is a bit bland, and wish they hadn't gotten rid of the couches. Definitely give this place a try! read more

I love this boba spot! I'm a sucker for boba and this one needs more recognition! The locally owned couple is super sweet they always know my order because i always get the same thing, definitely try this place out and if you like lavender get the lavender milk tea with boba! read more

This has to be the world's slowest bubble tea place. It took them, no lie, 30 minutes to make my bubble tea and there were only 2 other customers in the store with me. I'll never come back here. The bubble tea itself is from powder, with old poorly cooked tapioca. To top this all off a large with two toppings is $8.75. Just crazy. read more

FINALLY! We recently moved here from Seattle (where you can find AMAZING boba places) and we have been in the hunt for a good boba place! Would definitely recommend. DRINKS: We got Honey Milk Tea with Boba and Matcha Milk Tea with Boba. They were sooo delicious! We finished our large drinks so fast! The boba was super soft and chewy, just how we like it. Most places undercook them so it was a pleasant surprise that they were cooked perfectly! FOOD: We ordered calamari and pop corn chicken. I think they're single servings so keep that in mind when ordering. They were also delicious. PRICE: I think the price was reasonable. We paid about $25 for all 4 items. Not bad at all! PLACE: The restaurant was nice and clean. They had board games for everyone to enjoy. We really liked it. SERVICE: Not much service needed. You go up and order at the counter and they bring the food and drinks to you. The staff was very nice and friendly. read more

Like the music, delicious and fast Tea, excellent chewy and fresh tasting/ flavorful boba! Nice staff member and vibe inside. Excited to try the food next time! read more

Rustic Bubble Tea Cafe is the Place that I usually go to after my gym workout. My most preferred drink is the Thai milk tea. And for most of my lunchtime or dinner, or when craving hits me, I usually order their amazing Pho. I've gone to different Vietnamese restaurants but I love their Pho the most. They just have the tastiest Pho ever. FYI, I brought my family and friends to this place. My husband doesn't like boba at all, but when he came across this place, sometimes he's the first one inviting me to get some milk tea here ( gives me giggles sometimes). So, they offer a lot of great Asian food/cuisine here. Kudos to the chef. You guys should find out yourself which is gonna be your favorite. Don't forget to try their Pho. read more

They over charge with so little amount of food. Boba was charged but didn't add on the tea. Ordered 10 pcs chicken and got charged 5 pcs each so it'll be more expensive. read more

Service: the guy working was ok, he seemed a little bugged because I tried to order a bunch of food they currently don't have, but how am I supposed to know? He was efficient tho in making my order. Food: so I got the veggie egg rolls because that's one of the only things food wise, they actually had. They were tasty but nothing to go crazy over. I ordered and almond boba tea cold. It was really good, some of the reviews say they didn't have flavor, but that wasn't the case for me. The boba was fresh and a good texture. I might try to go back after Covid and see they full menu, they menu is currently extremely limited. read more

Rustic Bubble has an extensive list of bubble teas and the ones I've had are pretty darned tasty. They know the formula and have worked it well. Those, alone, make this place a must visit. Their food, on the other hand, is OK, not much more. It's great that they focus on Vietnamese cuisine, but their options are limited and really basic and limited. Their food won't kill you and make you sick. The owners just don't seem to have a passion to make their meals more exciting. They don't really go out of their way to make these dishes more enticing, which is a bummer. If you want decent Vietnamese, there are plenty of good restaurants around town. Some friends and I used to go here regularly, but we stopped because we were looking for a place with better food. It really seems they are more focused on their boba teas. read more

Channon's raving about the place caused me to try our out! Thanks to Yelp the 3 other times i planned to go buy & enjoy, I knew they were closed. I had success today! A delicious Pineapple Snowball with Boba.... all I can say is 7th Heaven! I admit it is a small drive for me.. ohh yeah a whoooole 6 miles! I dont usually come over this way except to visit Channon... that will be changing! Very much worth the visit. Watch out pocket book... i may have a reasonably affordable habit. read more

Since I live right around the corner from this place I like to frequent it often! This is one of my favorite boba spots as they have soooo many flavors! Service is usually pretty quick and the atmosphere is really nice. It's a cool little chill spot you can meet up with friends and maybe play a board game they provide while sipping on your tea! They have the best Taro in my opinion. It's always the perfect amount of sweet. The rose milk tea here is also incredible and the very first drink I had tried here that has become a regular staple for me. I haven't tried their food per say, but I have nibbled on their funnel cake fries and fried banana. They are good, but not great. Nice snack food to munch on. read more

So happy that it's right next to my gym (unsure if my workout counts if I end up here after though...) So the bubble tea menu is legit! So many options and varieties! You can choose between milk one or a green tea one there's also blended or smoothies. Price wise is inexpensive competed to other places and boba tea co. Especially considering that they're tastier! I got the blended vanilla. Yes safe don't hate but it was really good. I also got a large beef pho for $10. It was a huge portion enough for me to share with my husband. On the side we got mint, bean sprouts, and limes. We got 2 egg rolls which came with a sweet and sour sauce. Super yummy! Service was great except the kitchen was backed up so our egg rolls took like 30 mins to come out. The rest of the food came out super quick though. The space is also very inviting and good for small groups. Plus they have games you can play while you eat! It's a must go too! read more

Popcorn chicken on point! I love this Boba place. Simply because the menu is straight forward. Great varieties. Friendly staff ofcourse! Aaaaaaaand drumroll.... board games! From a deck of cards, jenga and many more! What a great place to hangout with family, friends or significant other. This place has never failed me. Would give better food review after trying new menu which includes rice plates. read more

This is the BEST bubble tea in Albuquerque! The tea was not bitter and still has the tea flavor. The boba are soft, flavorful and perfectly chewy. What we also discovered is the super delicious chicken wings, they are crispy full of flavor and moist. The pho here was discovered by my dad and mom. They came here to visit us from Orange county California where you can find hundreds of authentic Vietnamese restaurants, yet they ate pho here and they both raved about how good it was. We had to try for ourselves and it was really really really good. We have had pho in Boston, new York, San Jose, Orange county, in Vietnam also. This one holds it own. The broth is clear and deep flavor through and through. If you eat a lot pho you definitely will appreciate the details of the chef here! read more

All the staff is super friendly, they know you by name & greet you with a smile. The atmosphere is not like other boba places or cafe's, it's a fun place to go hang out or do work. Not only do they have boba but they also have food. read more

We USED to love this place! It was our go-to for boba drinks. We went a few weeks ago and didn't care for our drinks but thought it was that "one off" day. Today we returned expecting the usual delicious drinks but we ended up being highly disappointed....again. We figure this is their new norm. Sad! We don't plan on going back especially with other boba/bubble shops popping up around town. read more

My Husband and I wanted some boba tea. This is our first time here and we will definitely be back! We met the owner and he is so nice! He did tell us that he is probably going to stop the food service side of the business soon. So we will hurry and go back so we can taste his Pho since it has such great reviews. As mentioned by previous reviewers, the boba is super soft. I was not a fan, as I like a little more substance to my boba, but my husband absolutely loved the boba. He ordered the Irish cream milk tea and I ordered the Thai tea. My husband's was delicious and I almost stole his but didn't. The Thai tea, while good, wasn't very flavorful in my opinion. I like it better at other places in town over this place. What I can say is that there are so many options here that I cannot wait to try and we will be going back very soon! Did I say I Can't wait?!?!!??? Please stop in and support this small local business!! We need places like this to stay open! read more

Can't speak for the food here as I haven't tried it before, so this review is based solely on their boba drinks. The first time I go to a new boba joint, I always get a plain milk tea with boba or a Thai tea with boba. These are my methods for measuring how great the rest of the flavors are. Hahaha. I've got both and they were both pretty yummy! I do have to say that the boba isn't as flavorful as I'd want it to be and the texture is a little too mushy. I expect my boba to be somewhat chewy, but the boba here is too soft. I've ordered a few smoothies as well and those are always great! Passion fruit is my favorite by far. The atmosphere makes for a cool place to hang out with your friends or just simply do your homework. The staff is always nice and they always work quickly. read more

The lavender milk tea was really bad. It tastes like soap. I'm a huge lavender fan and always get lavender milk tea. I won't be back here.

I don't write many reviews, but this place is so good that I felt compelled give them praise. have been coming here for probably about a year now and it is my favorite place for boba tea drinks in town. The flavors are delicious and the boba is quality. Food is good too (popcorn chicken, pho) I typically get the lavender milk tea, snow bubbles (blended) avocado or honeydew w/ boba. Coconut is also good too! Honestly I doubt you can go wrong with any of the variety of flavors. read more

This place is the best. I came here almost every week after school. The funnel cake and slushees are the best!!

This is going to be my new go-to place on weekends! I decided to pop by on my day off because I do like bubble tea but it's never worth the wait or the price at Boba Tea Co in the mall, so when I saw this in my neighborhood I just couldn't resist! I'm glad I came by! The server was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu since I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted. I ended up ordering a lavender milk tea with regular bobas, mostly because I was curious what a lavender drink might taste like, and I really do like it. I'll definitely be back to try a green tea and some of their flavored "brushing bobas" - probably tomorrow! The seating area is clean, open, and has a relaxing vibe. They even have board/table games available for you to play with friends! There are some food items on the menu, mostly appetizer-type food, probably not someplace I'd come for an actual meal. The music isn't really to my taste, I wish it was a bit quieter and more ambient, but you can't always have everything. Anyhow, don't mind me I'll just be here reading a nice book and sipping! read more
