BoBaPoP Tea Bar - Merrifield

This is the first time I’ve ever abandoned an order. I asked if brown sugar coffee had more caffeine than usual, because it’s listed under the “Energy Boost” menu at $7 something, but $5~ on the latte menu. The man looked annoyed and it explained it didn’t, and proceeded to ask if I wanted Vietnamese coffee (…? Why this was offered, I’m not sure). I said I’d have the brown sugar. He let me know they were out of boba and I said that was fine. He was additionally annoyed when I couldn’t hear him when he asked “regular milk or lactose free?” I held my hand up to my ear to ask him to repeat, and he harshly yelled it a second time. I paid the $8.48, but I sat there for a few minutes pretty embarrassed and honestly sad, so I left before my order was ready. He looked miserable, I guess because I made the mistake of entering at 8:45 when they close at 9. I had been excited about this place for a while after just moving to the area. Good luck to other folks visiting close to closing time!

Matchaberry!! Delicious, what a great surprise, great flavor. Place tucked in the corner of retail shop, not too busy, but came when first opened and steady traffic customers coming in and out.

Solid quality milk teas - definitely a step above other milk tea shops in terms of quality of the tea and the creamer. You can taste the tea well, and the creamer they use (the "milk" part of the milk tea) smoothly integrates with the tea. Highly recommend the roasted oolong milk tea and the jasmine milk tea - really fragrant tasting. Also recommend 30% for both sugar and ice.

Awesome boba! Really tasty. Music was a bit loud, but that’s really the only negative. Great spot otherwise.

I drink boba tea almost every day and got the Mango milk tea drink from this place with 30% sugar, no ice. It was basically a sugary syrup, almost see through so not even close to thick. The flavors were so artificial I had the same aftertaste as you do after drinking soda like Pepsi. Never again for sure.

Excellent teas! I've stopped in a couple times to try different teas. I dropped by one evening after work to grab a pick me up, and I really enjoyed the Peach Green Tea that I ordered. It was ordered with 50% sweetness and light ice. I came in another time to grab some teas for my parents to try. I ordered the: Raspberry Tea, Sunrise Tea, Taro Milk Tea, Winter Melon Fruit Tea and [another] Peach Green Tea. All were at 50% sweetness with no ice. My parents loved the Taro Milk Tea and the Sunrise Tea. They liked the other ones as well, but just preferred the two. The same employee took my order the two times I was there. Really good service for sure. They are ready with recommendations if you aren't sure what to get or are not familiar with their menu. They are friendly and patient. The shop is clean and has a handful of tables and good number of chairs. Cute decorations and awesome wall murals: very photo-friendly! LOL. Best boba tea shop I've tried in the area so far. I would definitely come back to try other flavors.

Nice place and cute decor. Vegetarian options: Plant milk alternatives to dairy

Upon entering the store, I really liked the atmosphere. It has cute modern vibe. When ordering, I decided to get the Kiwi Green Tea with 70% sugar. The order came out fairly quick, no complaints. After trying the Kiwi Green Tea, the drink did not taste like Kiwi. It tasted more like the Jolly Ranchers Sour Apple flavor. The drink was still very sweet at 70% sugar, but I won't hold it against them because I'm aware that many places have varying levels of sugar in their drink. Overall, the place was okay, but I wouldn't necessarily look forward to coming back.
