Boba Teas

I’m pretty sure this place is out of business :(
I will happily change my review if someone says otherwise, but every time I go by, it’s deserted.

I’m not generally much of a drive-​thru kind of person, but the location is kind of weird, the only seating is outdoors, and when I was here the other customer was a gentleman who appeared to be homeless, likely intoxicated, and had clearly pissed himself while sitting on one of the iron patio chairs outside. That said, he was also quiet and there to get himself a tea, and I hate drive-​thru stuff. Theirs is a little oddly set up, you can go through on either side of the building but one side only makes sense if you have a passenger. Pay attention to the arrows and such, you are probably better than me at drive-​thrus because I always want any excuse to get out of the car.
Anyway…
The tea here is heavenly. Milk tea, slushies, smoothies, fruit tea, add boba, jelly, or pudding, tons of flavors and options and it’s all delicious. Somehow the huge boba straw makes anything you drink more fun. Service is friendly but I’ve gotten something I didn’t order on occasion. In conclusion: delightful, but don’t sit on the chairs.

My husband has recently been hooked on Thai tea. We decided to check out Boba Teas one afternoon, and opted for the Mango Milk Tea with boba. Although it was really good, it was a bit pricey. Of course, I’m not one to purchase beverages (Starbucks, smoothies, and the like) on a regular basis — so it seemed pricey to me, anyways.
Although I didn’t see it listed on their drive through menu, it appears they also offer traditional Vietnamese sandwiches, which I’d like to go back and try.

I had a Thai ice tea! It was good not the best one I’ve had but I’m from California so nothing can beat that. It is good
As it is the only place to get milk tea in the rock.

Five stars because well its little rock and it meets expectations. Good old little rock — home sweet home since middle school. This is the ONLY bubble tea place in pretty much LR and NLR with the exception of some of the asian restaurants that offer bubble aka powder form 100%. this place has a rather extensive menu AND to top it off, they have healthy powders to add into such as whey powder and weight loss, etc. I was pretty happy when I stumbled upon this place because coming from SF to visit home sometimes I just want a nice bubble tea or fruit smoothie that is fresh and not all fancy and more fruits than just strawberry, banana, pineapple, mango, etc. which is what tropical smoothie and such have. This place has milk teas, green teas, and also fresh fruit smoothies and juice that you can add fruit too. AND they also use fresh milk — no condensed or half & half like some of he asian restaurants — much appreciated. I got 2 drinks tonight — green tea smoothie and thai iced tea.
Green Tea Smoothie — 2% milk, no sugar with weight loss add-​in = awesome. nice consistency, def not sweet and fresh milk. I was concerned the add in might make it taste funky but not at all.
Thai Iced Tea — I got it for a friend of mine who thought I meant Chai. I’m like uh no but she liked it and said it tasted good.
The Actual bubbles/​tapico balls — i tried one piece good texture, not too chewy, not too soft. Also the guy working tonight was mad nice and answered all my questions and was very accomodating. I wish I found this place sooner. Oh and they serve bahn mi sandwiches too. Glad to know now I got a place to fulfill my bubble tea craving when I’m back home.

I first had Boba in California a week ago and when I came home I found this one in little rock and it tastes exactly like the one in Cali! Im so happy i found this place. definitely order the taro milk tea! i did not like the almond milk tea. Hope more pop up.

drive by this place almost every day going to/​from class at UALR. sign promotes their smoothies so i had no idea what all they served until i stumbled upon another Unilocal review. so stopped by before a night class to eat and do some reading on their deck since it was a nice day. had a binh mi sandwich — $ 4 for a «footlong». could use some more meat but was tasty. i first had these at a street vendor in pittsburgh a few years back and loved it! bread was good, fresh crisp veggies. also had a ginger milk boba tea. not on the menu but they made it for me anyway and it was delicious! got hooked on them in new york and had been wishing there was a place in LR to get one. little did i know it was right next to UALR! so i imagine i will stop by more often now. service was great. very friendly. took about 20 minutes to get my tea but i guess they had to make it from scratch since it wasn’t on the menu. i wasn’t in a hurry so i didn’t mind.

Just wanted to update my review to talk about a very welcome addition to the menu: Food!
Not only was Boba Teas the only great Boba place in the city, it has now become the preeminent purveyor of Vietnamese banh mi! For those that haven’t caught the bug, this is a special kind of sandwich served on a French baguette, with Vietnamese-​style deli meats, pickled carrots and daikon, cilantro, and jalapenos, and is to die for. Seriously, I could eat these all day for a week and not get tired of them. Another plus is that they’re just $ 3, so incredibly cheap. Downside is that because they’re prepared fresh by hand, they take a little bit longer to prepare; I usually call in my order before I get there.
They also have really good Boba-​flavored waffles with powdered sugar, which are great, cheap (at $ 1.50), and really warm you up on cold days. They’re not too sweet, and have the crispy outer crust of a good waffle, and the chewy goodness of boba powder inside. Get one!
All-​in-​all, this place gets way too much money out of me, not because of high prices (quite the opposite), but because of their products just make me drool just thinking about them. Highly recommended.

I was on facebook & I came across one of my friends here who had a picture of boba from here. As an asian girl from SoCal, my reaction was point blank like a kid waking up on Christmas morning. I was so excited & I just had to make that trip to get boba!!! My husband, friend and I went on Friday and it’s funny because we’ve never been to a drive thru boba shop, but LR has drive thru’s for MANY businesses, so I’ve been accustomed to it. Anyways, we got thai tea and the royal milk tea’s and it was sooo good! I’ve had better thai tea in Garden Grove, CA but it was still good, BUT the royal milk tea was the best I’ve ever had! We went back the next day because my husband wanted more! So yes, this place is amazing and even though it’s a drive away… we’ll probably be regular customers :)

This is the only real milk tea /​boba shop in little rock. It’s amazing for being in a central state. Myself coming from California, this boba tea compares to ones in OKC, and some of California. Owners are all full viet and did a good job of doing things the right way the first time. They recently got Asian waffles and Vietnamese sandwiches (lees sandwich style) It’s really good and i recommend it anyone. Everyone should come over and help keep this business alive and let everyone know it exist. Good things shouldn’t go away just because people are afraid to try it.

Im from Indianapolis but visit family once a year in Little Rock. I have been on the look out for a good local coffee shop. I had no idea what boba was but stopped in. Super friendly service from the whole staff. They gave me a sample of boba and the coffee jelly. Good stuff. I settled on a java chip coffee. Very good. I will be back more this week and look forward to more next year!
