Boba Boy

The shop makes its tapioca fresh in-house every day, producing preservative-free pearls in a range of flavors rather than using pre-packaged stock. That handmade tapioca is the signature that sets the drinks apart from other bubble tea chains.

The menu spans signature milk teas like taro and matcha, fruity teas like mango green tea and lychee aloe, plus slushes and fresh juices. Mango drinks and the original milk tea are the most recommended picks.

Boba Boy sells a sturdy reusable bottle for an extra charge and gives a discount when you bring it back for refills. The idea is to cut single-use cup waste while giving regulars a price break.
