If you're near Union Station, do yourself a favor and stop by Tao Boba! I got the Nutella taiyaki, and it came out warm and absolutely delicious. The filling is super rich and gooey, and yes... I ate both because there's no way I was sharing. I also always order the Lucky Charm (their matcha latte with oat milk) with boba, and it never disappoints. They make it perfectly every single time--not too milky, just the right amount of matcha flavor. It's become my go-to order. The shop itself is super welcoming too. I love all the colorful furniture--it makes the space feel fun and cozy. They also have a bunch of board games, which is such a nice touch if you want to hang out for a while with friends. Definitely one of my favorite boba spots in Denver. So good! read more

Tao Boba - Nutella Taiyaki - 2 pcs & Matcha Latte with Boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The guy running the counter seemed shocked when I asked for decaf espresso- sadly, anything with tea or coffee in it was not available decaf. I get migraines from caffeine so it's a pretty severe intolerance, and I'm always sad when there isn't much offered. They did have the ube creme brûlée and the mangonada, both of which were fabulous. The mangonada tasted like real mango to me, plus the boba was nice and chewy. The ube was warm at first and took a while to chill, but once it did, the flavor was great! Like a cheesecake with ube almost. The interior is cute with games available too. Next time I visit I would love to try their fish shaped pastry snacks- the one with Nutella or custard called to me, but I ate a big breakfast this morning and could not justify it. A great place to come chill and treat yourself to a fun drink! read more

Yummy teas! Grabbed a couple of teas to go and loved them. The tea is natural tasting and not that powdery consistency that I loathe. This is definitely a great boba option in Denver! read more

Tao Boba - His + hers (BS Milk Tea + Thai Tea) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I went to Tao Boba after I went visiting the nearby Museum of Contemporary Art. My wife and I got the Mangonada and Ube Creme Brulee. Both were excellent but I liked the Ube Creme Brulee more. It was like drinking the milk after eating cereal and it was spectacular. The Mangonada was like a mango smoothie with a little spicy kick and it was okay. The service was fast and they had game boards to play. We sat around playing games while sipping on our drinks. I do wish they had decaf coffee and tea so I could have had some of the other drinks. Either way I would go back if I was in the area. read more

We came to this place after leaving Elitch Gardens and it's less than ten minutes away. There's only street parking but we lucked out since it's a Sunday afternoon and parking was also free (yes!) They have a few food choices like Taiyaki and a strawberry sando. There's an area that has their featured drinks, fall specials, and a coffee menu, or you can order from their regular menu. Some drinks like their brûlée and yogurt only comes in a regular size. We tried their strawberry yogurt and black milk tea. There wasn't a long wait for our drinks to come out but it was no biggie since they had board games to occupy my littles. The drinks tasted great. We'll definitely be back when we're in this area. read more

Tao Boba - Jasmine Green Bubble Milk Tea. Less Ice. Half Sugar. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Tao was a quick walk from the hotel I was staying at and had great reviews so given my love for boba, I knew I had to check it out before leaving Denver! There were so many great options that I had a hard time choosing, but ended up going with Eye of the Thai-ger (brewed from a strong blend of black teas and spices then sweetened with condensed milk; served over brown sugar boba and topped with a homemade salted buttercream). I've had Thai tea many times before, but this one stood out- I loved the depth of the tea plus it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. The boba was perfectly chewy, and the salted buttercream was classic. Ambiance is really nice, I hung out and got some work done for a bit: super open space, lots of natural light, tons of seating, their K-pop playlist was chef's kiss haha. Service was fast and friendly. 10/10 would recommend! read more

This boba spot is great! I've only been once - I came to try the ube crème brûlée, and thought this spot had a similar vibe to the alley (a boba place in California that's really good). The quality was indistinguishable from the alley imo, it was a super sweet drink and very creamy. Would absolutely come back again! read more

Tao Boba - Ube Creme Brulee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This was a solid boba shop but a few things make me feel like I have to go with 4 stars over 5. Still a solid option for those close looking for a tasty beverage. We walked in and were the only patrons and looked over the menu especially their speciality offerings. So many choices and good sounding drinks that made decision making difficult. My wife ended up getting their Honey Matcha Latte and I tried ordering their Cupid Love boba drink. Unfortunately they did not offer this drink in a large version which was a little odd to me so in the end decided to try their Sea Salt Caramel Coffee. I enjoyed mine a lot and my wife liked it despite typically not being a caramel fan. My wife's drink was also solid. The biggest negative though had to do with her drink. On our walk enjoying the drinks she had one of the boba pearls and bit into it when she noticed some pain. Come to find out the boba or the drink in general had a small piece of plastic in it. Thankfully she found it and didn't swallow it. All in all drinks tasted good despite the mishap and not being able to get my original drink in a large. Worth checking out if you are craving boba or other beverage they have but I think there may be some better options out there for similar drinks. read more

Tao Boba is hands down the best boba spot in Denver! Their drinks are packed with real, bold flavors--not just syrup. My favorite is the Passionfruit Green Tea with Lychee Jelly The vibes are cozy, and the staff is always super welcoming. Seasonal specials are always creative and worth trying. If you haven't been yet, you're seriously missing out! read more

The boba was decent. Never anything to complain about. It won't be the best you have ever had but you will enjoy having it. Service is typically quick there have been a couple times that it's been understaffed and things take longer but they still treat you well. They have board games for guests which is a fun touch. read more

Tao Boba - Oolang Black Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Need to improve their boba. It should be pleasantly chewy. As the Taiwanese call it, "QQ". If it's hard and breaks apart easily, it's bad.

I ordered a lavender haze. They said they can't adjust sugar levels so I was little concerned that it would be too sweet. But the drink was perfect! Nice ambiance with lots of tables & chairs for studying as well read more

Tao Boba - Lavender Haze - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This place is mediocre. Don't come here if you're trying to catch the train or be anywhere soon. They take forever and will stop making your order to take someone else's order instead of finishing the first order and getting people out the door . I am now late for the train but don't want to ditch my $35 order after waiting for 15 min already. Sorry but this isn't my kinda place Update 10 min later- the little cheese waffle things barely have any cheese in them. They were soft and doughy. The Ube drink I got has NO flavor at all. Kind of grainy purple milk but no ube flavor at all. My son got pumpkin chai but they out boba in it when it shows no boba in it. That was the only thing I thought tasted good read more

I've been coming here for a year now and it has never disappointed! Staff all work very hard to quickly craft delicious and creative beverages of all types! We've tried the strawberry yogurt drink and the strawberry matcha (pictured) and both are delicious! Fair prices and good sized beverages. They are kind and won't charge for extra pumps of flavor, etc. Cafe is cute and has plenty of seating. This is a good place to grab a drink and catch up with friends! As always, I'll be back. read more

Not exactly sure what happened to Da Boba, but the rebranded Tao Boba is still just as good. Amazing flavor combinations, adventurous tea creations, and the perfect fresh boba chew texture. I should have ordered low-sugar because default drinks definitely come pretty sweet. But they're fantastic, and I will be back for sure. read more

Tao Boba - Taiyaki - 2 pcs Fruit Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Besides niche specialty tea shops such as Milk Tea People, Ku Cha and Tea Cloud, found it was not easy to find more mainstreamed boba tea shops downtown. Luckily ran into one behind the Union Station. Tao Tea, formerly Daboba, was at the ground floor of Cadence Union Station and was spacious and modern looking compared to other boba places in town. They had a variety of boba drinks, including roasted brown sugar and regular brown sugar boba milk, milk tea, chocolate, matcha and espresso. For boba milk tea, they had the one with black tea, Jasmine green tea or Japanese oolong tea, as well as Thai tea, grass jelly milk tea and Chinese milk tea. They also had fruit tea, frappe, yogurt drinks, creme brule and hand whisked matcha latte and hot drinks, including artisan coffees. Indeed quite a selection. For dessert lovers, they had freshly made Taiyaki. Ordered the roasted brown sugar boba milk tea with red bean Taiyaki. The boba was well prepared and chewy. The roasted brown sugar was aromatic and had a hint of smoky and earthy taste, but not overly sweet. What surprised me most was the Taiyaki. Very authentic and probably the best tasting one in town with the right crispy texture and lava like red bean paste filling. Don't know why they changed the name from Daboba to Tao Boba, but the offering was pretty much the same. read more

Took 15 minutes to make one drink when no one was inside the store but me. The staff looked confused and lost.

Great variety of flavors (caffeine free, topping choices, frappe) and very delicious Highly recommend the Ube Creme Brulee with Boba.

We were lucky to spot Tao Boba on our way back from Denver Union Station. They have a wide selection of Boba drinks. We ordered Ube Creme Brûlée, Dalgona Coffee, Passion Fruit Green Tea - we loved all of them. The ambience inside is a perfect if you are looking for a delicious and healthy alternative and a cool spot to hang out. Their service is so good, I can see myself visiting this place more often, it is one of the best new hangout spots in Denver. read more

Fast easy and yummy !! Very kind when I was short on money and gave discount. Very very yummy .

I been going here when it was Da Boba not sure what happened. .At first it was great until one experience really got me not wanting to come back . Staff was rude I asked for soy milk last min when I realized I didn't say when ordering. One staff member exhaled feeling irritated and said I guess I'll make it again . When I did get my drink it still had 2% milk . I really liked this spot and it was a favorite but idk if I'll return here again . read more

They got my order wrong the first time and I went back to get it corrected then they got it wrong again . Staff is not paying attention !
