Cons:
Not much sitting space
We were near the beaches and feeling like a bubble tea. BBT places seem to be few and far between in this part of the city. Luckily we managed to find Boba. If you're craving a BBT in this part of the city, Boba gets the job done.
Boba isn't too big of a place. It's mostly meant for take out if you ask me. We were a group of 10 looking for a place to sit and chill. They have a park like bench in front to sit and that's it. The middle row is connected to both tables which can make having multiple groups sit in it a bit awkward. When the line is big and the benches are occupied, it can get a little cramped. Like I said, Boba is obviously more oriented toward take out. It's no biggie at all really. I'm just used to chilling where I get my BBT.
Boba has a good assortment of your BBT items you would find at BBT places. The prices are pretty good. I expect places downtown to charge a premium because of the location, but I didn't feel that way at all with Boba. Boba offers a bubble waffle which you won't find at too many BBT places. It's basically a egg waffle (HK style) with a scoop or 2 of ice cream. It's a nice little treat. The egg waffle smelled so good while they were making it. Check out my photo for a better description.
The service was very friendly here. Being a new place and probably new type of place to area, the staff have to regularly explain their items to customers. Over hearing the conversations, I could tell they were very helpful with people not familiar with BBT. There were only 2 staffers on, but they made things run very smoothly even when it got busy.
Overall. Boba is a nice little place to get your BBT fix. There probably aren't too many places of this nature in the area as well. If I'm in the area again, I would definitely come back.
