Flavourful and colourful Bubbles and Booba. Usually order Taro milk tea but decided to try strawberry banana mixed smoothie with some popping and jelly. It's delicious and refreshing just kind of pricey.

Bubbles and Boba has a huge menu with a variety of Bubble teas. It’s not cheap, but worth it for a treat.

I tried the liche passion fruit bubble tea with the bubbles of passion fruit flavor <br/><br/>It is expensive and I have tasted better in my country for lesser price. I have tasted better cause the taste of the drink wasn’t strong enough or this much natural.

While walking around the mall they offered us some samples to try. They were surprisingly good! So we decided to order. Yummy and funny with the bubbles and the jelly toppings. Pricey though.

Bubbles & Boba <br/><br/>I wanted to try the novelty of this new brand and hence had to really find their kiosk in the vast mall. Their stall is outside of the Kidzania in the Dubai mall. <br/><br/>They serve bubbly soda wth various novelties in them. They have these bubbles put in the soda separately which burst in your mouth. They have on the menu various toppings like orange , lychee , etc. Their signature drink is the bubble tea wth tapioca pearls. They serve in a sealed cup sensibly wth a thick straw to suck up the pearls ( bobas). <br/><br/>I asked them for the lychee soda wth the lychee bubbles which they did not have and hence I was forced to try the strawberry soda wth orange bobas. It was good and a little different. <br/><br/>The price is too steep at around Dhs 30 per drink. I felt that it was not worth the price. <br/><br/>Try once for the novelty value

I love bubble tea but it is very over priced compared to other places.. In KL one cup of bubble tea is about 5-6 dirhams where as here it is no less than 25 dirhams what a rip off!!! <br/><br/>And I think if you reduce your price you will have more customers to buy and therefore more profit! <br/>

I am in love with bubble tea! So I am glad to find a bubble tea spot that meets expectations. Bubbles & boba is the best bubble tea shop I've tried in the UAE so far. You get to pick what kind of bubbles you want in your drink. You also get to choose whether you want your drink to be slushy or creamy. <br/><br/>Usual order: Strawberry or blueberry smoothie slush with black bubbles <br/><br/>Total bill for two: AED 62

Too sweet! I specifically asked for half sugar, and what I got was clearly full sugar. It's hard to enjoy the flavors when there is so much sweetness over powering them.

To be honest I've only had Bubbles & Boba twice so far and I must say I have enjoyed it both times. Would like to go and try different single flavours as well as combo flavours.

Great place! Drinks are expensive. Usually get the Green Apple Bubble Tea with the dark boba. They don't have a card machine so be prepared to pay with cash. How to improve? Get a card machine!

The popping bubbles in the mouth....difficult to find completely. However i found it at The Dubai Mall. They have lot of flavours..with and without milk. like their machine for mixing the tea.<br/><br/>coming to the poppers ...they have 3 flavours namely mango,orange and strawberry. Strawberry and mango were good. The poppers did pop as well. However drinks are expensive

Follow me on instagram: HighExpecTASTEion<br/><br/> The drinks are expensive yes but with expensive comes quality. They are in Dubai mall so I don't know if people are expecting 10 aed a drink. <br/><br/>Other places sell bubble tea but it is inferior in quality and you can often taste the powder. The bubble tea at this place is smooth and tastes nice.

Multiple options here.. choose carefully what may suit our palate.. I personally like the fruit pieces and not those popping bubbles.. inverse for my wife.. I liked the taro flavour..<br/>Find it a tad expensive thus knocked a few points from the rating..

Oh My!!! This is the best I have ever tasted. I passed by the stall at Dubai Mall and my daughter told me let's try it. I was not so keen, so I took only one for her ( Coconut flavoured Boba Smoothie). Then when she asked me to try hers, I almost finished it. My bad I could not come back for another one but next time yes!!!! 10/10! So refreshing, awesome, out of this world! The staffs are very friendly too. Thank you!

Taste wise it's fabulous, no doubt about that. I would rate it a 10/10 for the taste. I took the Creamy Blueberry Bubble Tea with the black tapioca pearls. But affordability wise it's way too pricy. I bought a plate of pasta which filled the stomach of two with the same amount I spent on the small size of bubble tea. I would probably rate this 1/10 when it comes to pricing. And on top of that they charge 4.5 Dirhams extra if you want additional toppings.

Simply overly priced... the same drink can be made with more bubbles and more taste at jungle juice. They are too goo. Bubbles & Boba is a no go next time!!!

Strolling through the mall, close by to the Reel cinemas, the Bubbles & Boba stand cannot be missed. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. And the lychee bubble tea I had was simply quenching to my thirst and yummylicious :)

The bubble tea here tastes decent. They have various types of bubble tea (fruity, milk, smoothie) but not enough flavors. In addition, they do feel a bit overpriced in comparison to their competitors but they do have a loyalty card which can snag you 15% off. I do like that they have a better selection of toppings. It's a decent place to pop by if you're in the mood for bubble tea.

One of the second best bubble teas that i've had. After chix choux. Tried the strawberry flavour with popping bubble if the same flavour. Be wary of the extra's though. All sizes come with the chewy tapioca which i'm bot a big fan of. If you want the popping bubbles which is the fun part , you pay 4.5 dirhams extra. Each flavour costs an extra 4.5. The staff is trained so well trained not to inform you in advance should you just ask for a mix of all flavours. So be careful or you will end up paying 50 odd dirhams for a cup of tea. <br/>Service : not upto the mark. The lady who serves you will not bother to help you choose, she just turns around and goes about doing her work which is just turn her back to you. They dont even let you taste your shakes, unlike other bubble tea places. She said we cant taste. As my son wanted to try the honey milk. <br/>Luckily the lady outside the counter was helpful. Otherwise i would rate it even lower.

Definitely better than bubbleology. Had their toro coconut and strawberry blueberry with black tapioca bubbles. You also get to choose how much sugar you want to put in the drink. The drinks tasted good and their small size cup is big enough to fill you up.

My all time favourite whenever I visit dubai mall it's certain that I would buy bubble&boba I usually order Passion Fruit and Strawberry with the chewable and the Mango bubbles I turns out outstanding. The prices are a bit high and the sizes are OK I ordered two smoothies and the bill was 79dhs which is reasonable. I tried this in Vietnam and it was quite cheap out there when I converted it into dirhams It costed around 10 to 15 dhs which is a big difference between the price in Vietnam and the Price in Dubai .

Fantastic! <br/>Highly recommended. <br/>A piece of advice though, go for traditional cold milk tea with tapioca boba, it's lovely. If you prefer a little adventure in your drink, try the flavoured milk tea, they're fun yet still maintains the originality of the drink. (They have coconut milk tea, green tea, honey milk tea, taro milk tea, Thai tea and jasmine tea). <br/><br/>Regarding the price reviews, going crazy with the favours and the bubbles and Bobas is what makes it expensive and also what makes it just a smoothie with pulp that you can buy anywhere else. <br/>If you stick to traditional milk tea (and its derivatives), you'll pay average of 25 dirhams. <br/>

Bubble tea at its finest. Tried the honeydew bubbletea with basil seeds & passionfruit popping bobba (healthier than the traditonal jelly). Paid about 40 dhs for it. Totally worth it. Will come back for more!

It's a tiny stand but its big on bubbles! I always get cold fruity bubble teas with the popping boba.<br/><br/>My friend being a bubble tea virgin decided to try a mango tea with passion fruit popping boba and she loved it. I went with lychee tea with lychee popping boba. After a really hot day, these incredibly cold teas were proper thirst quenchers and really refreshing.<br/><br/>I personally prefer popping boba to tapioca as its kinda like having cold grapes in your mouth that burst into flavour! Tapioca is very squidgy to me and I feel it works better with hot teas.<br/><br/>The menu states there is a small cup, but they only seemed to be serving medium in suspiciously small cups. What's that about yoooo?<br/><br/>Nonetheless, i love the great flavours, I only wish they had some sort of seating area.

My all time favorite Bubble Tea place! I would recommend the honeydew- coconut drink. Super good and perfect for the summer! <br/>Also try their chocolate smoothies. They are pretty good, however I always go back to the honeydew coconut drink! LOVE.

Pricing - Expensive |<br/><br/>Ambience - Located at 2nd Floor | <br/><br/>Ok so after watching a movie was just passing by this place they were distributing the samples so I tried and it tasted lovely . So I ordered the passion fruit along with few toppings . The bill was Dhs 42 for a single drink which was quiet expensive . But it was worth buying it . Freshly made . Friendly staff . <br/>Over all , this place is worth trying out 👍

This was the first time I tried Bubbles & Boba and my first reaction was : expensive. It was AED 42. YES! No doubt, it was refreshing after all the walking around and shopping in Dubai Mall but honestly I dont think its worth it. Tried the one with passion fruit and lychee, truly gives the bubbling effect in your mouth. The server was absent minded or I dont know what, at first he gave us blueberries instead of lychee, but quickly re-made it.

Tried:<br/>Blueberry and Passion Fruit Mixed Smoothie with Lychee Popping Boba, <br/>Strawberry and Mango Mixed Smoothie with Lychee Popping Boba and<br/>Strawberry and Mango Mixed Smoothie with Mango jelly. <br/><br/>I personally enjoyed blueberry and passion fruit the most. <br/>However I wanted Tapioca, which was out of stock. I did however prefer the jelly over the lychee flavoured popping boba. <br/><br/>The staff is quite friendly and they serve you quite quickly. <br/>

Went there for my first Bubble & Boba experience. I didn't know what to get so I ordered the basic Milk Tea with Tapioca and I was amazed and I loved it. Definitely going again to try other options.

Those samplers they give near their kiosk caught my (tastebud's) attention… I loved those mini fruity samplers ! <br/>So I decided to go for it, I had no idea what to order nor what I had sampled few days back.. <br/><br/>My low mark is based on the product not on the service because service was worth a good 4.5 ! The ladies were amazing full of good suggestions, very efficient, I had no idea what to order so they helped me out (yeah its just a bubble tea but I am not a bubble tea drinker lol) .. so I ended up having a passion fruit - mango smoothie, with black tapioca bubbles - it comes included in the price. THEN you can add bits of jellies or other bubbles… so here we go for the extra mix jello bits (+ 4dhs for add ons)<br/><br/>The staff asked me what I usually like and enquired about my preferences while she was making my drink, they even presented their 'make it yourself bubble tea box' - which is a box with powder flavors and tapioca etc. <br/><br/>Verdict -- in the beginning  the drink was good very chilled - after I drank half the synthetic taste of the passion fruit made me nauseous and I couldn't reach the bubbles.. yeah its one of those ! where you end up ripping the lid and tapping the bottom of you glass to your mouth to  make those wobbly bits reach you - where your snack partner ends up embarrassed at your poor manners lol <br/><br/>34 dhs for a medium bubble smoothie.. is bubble tea always that expensive ?? <br/><br/>conclusion : excellent staff - excellent service - excellent marketing but I am just not a bubble tea fan - too sweet - flavors are too synthetic too much food coloring - its just not a good refreshing feeling after, you get this after taste. Sorry ! not worth the price. IF you really enjoy your bubble tea this place is pretty cool. I think I enjoy a regular iced tea better.

Not cheap and questionably worth the high price, but their taro flavoured mocktail is delicious and fun to drink. It fills you up and leaves you yearning for more. I haven't given their fruit based drinks a try yet, mainly because the taro is so satisfying, especially sucking up black tapioca pearls through a jumbo straw like a kid. Nothing better to help power you around Dubai Mall than a boba drink!

There's something about Bubbles and Bobba that just keeps you wanting more! I love the variety of bubble tea drinks and how there's plenty of room for customized ones as well without having to pay that much more in amount. I like how the flavors are fun and quirky and having one will always manage to cheer you up in one of those hot and slow moving days.

There are a lot of places cropping up everywhere in Dubai offering Bubble Tea... but Bubbles & Boba seems to be leading this race. It's not the cheapest one around, but their quality of pearls is very high.. the staff is friendly and service is quick. Be sure to try the smoothie if you have a sweet tooth. The jasmine green tea with tapioca pearls tastes a little bitter and needed some extra sugar syrup - but was nice and refreshing.<br/><br/>If you're near the cinemas, take a few steps further and give this a try.

Their location is good, because it's next to a parking door, which you can have a drink before leaving. Their staff were friendly. And the bubble tea juice was refreshing

From Taiwan orginates a unique beverage called Bubble Tea. It's already a hit in Malaysia and other eastern Asian regions of the world. Bubbles and Boba has brought this unique beverage from there to here. It's really basically tea or cooled juice with pearls of tapioca inside it. You might be thinking, tea and tapioca? YES! YES YES YES! It's chewy and has a texture just like gummy bears and adding it to mango juice makes it much more interesting to drink. However, if you don't want the chewy ones, you can get Popping Boba. The Boba or bubbles are filled with a juice of any fruit and the moment you bite them, there is an effect of a firecracker going off in your mouth. Of course, to suck up the Boba, you will need a big thick straw to suck it all up. This is where the genius comes in. You get a thick straw which easily gets the bubbles into your mouth without exerting too much effort. The cups are also heat sealed to prevent the juice and the bubbles from spilling. Bubbles and Boba is a very new concept in Dubai and if handled well, we could see Bubbles and Boba rising up. Don't be fooled by the small kiosk. Do give this place a try, it's one of the best places for a good, refreshing drink that isn't soda.

This small cafe is located at second floor at free space between the shops & Ice rink or in place just above the Papa Roti cafe. This outlet is perhaps only in uae that offers Bubble Tea.<br/><br/>Finally there's a drink that you can actually eat.What makes bubble tea so special is the tapioca pearl aka Boba, which are about the size of actual pearls or small marble balls and they have a consistency that resembles a gummy bear i.e. soft and chewy as well. The Bubble Tea's are available in 3 types, Bubble Teas or iced coffee, Fruity Teas and Smoothies,<br/><br/>The tapioca balls sink to the bottom of the cup waiting to be easily sipped right back up through an extra wide straw. <br/><br/>We had Taro, Chocolate & Blueberry & my favorite is Taro.<br/><br/>This too need few more branches outside Dubai Mall such as area near Al Barsa.<br/><br/>The price are reasonable recommend all to try it at once & experience the concept of Tea drinks.

Amazing Bubble Tea. Great service! I used to drink it all the time in NY and was so happy I found this brand in Dubai!
