    Large guava and rose milk tea with boba
    Joop V.

    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!

    Stopped in with a few friends before closing. Service was extremely fast and staff were so friendly! I grabbed a carmel milk tea & a Vietnamese coffee and both were phenomenal!!! The atmosphere is cozy & well kept. Highly recommend!

    Matcha, Rose, Hazelnut slushy with boba

    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.

    Avocado smoothie! (Real avocados)

    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.

    I really liked this boba tea location. It was clean and the menu was simple. There are a lot of offerings and varieties. The service was great. I ordered the guava green tea with boba pearls and 50% sugar. It was good.

    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!

    Coffee Milk Tea and Boba
    Rachel R.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    My yummy PHO AND THAI MILK TEA!

    I decided to stop here for a late lunch because reviews looked promising and I'm so glad I did…read morebecause I had an amazing meal here. I ordered their coda banh mi sandwich and their grilled pork noodle bowl, along with their sesame balls. Everything was delicious. The baguettes are made in house and tasted fresh. The meats in the sandwich were filled with plentiful of meats and was just the perfect combo. The grilled pork in the noodle bowl dish were charred deliciously. Their sesame balls are crispy and had mung bean filling. They went out pretty quickly when I was there so I had to wait for the next batch. It's worth the wait for some piping hot sesame balls. The bakery itself has a fair amount of seating. Service was quick and the bakery is clean. It's located in a big plaza, so parking isn't an issue. I'd definitely come back if I'm ever back in Albuquerque!

(Often with catering, restaurants skimp on the protein- this was not the case!) It was downright delicious! The Heo Nướng - Grilled Pork Banh Mi -House marinated grilled pork was so tender and hearty. Shrimp Spring Rolls, were soo tasty! All the vegetables were fresh, crunchy and delicious. The peanut sauce added to the meal, but really wasn't needed because the flavors were spot on. Now, I have to say, I will be checking them out at the restaurant soon, because I see things on the menu I *need* to try.

The chicken was a little tough to chew. But the flavor was good. My son had meatball pho. It was tasty and very hot (temp). All seemed fresh and served hot.

No attempt at Vietnamese authenticity; instead, corners are cut with cheaper or maybe less challenging (for American palates) ingredients. Truly not great. I've experienced this before in Europe, where some ingredients aren't available locally or they are afraid to insult local tastes. But Albuquerque has a significant Vietnamese population, great local supply of everything. There are so many good Vietnamese restaurants in Albuquerque, but this is not one of them. If you want dumbed down, flavorless food that won't challenge you, this is it. It is clean and pleasant here.
