DC Boba

Solid spot with countless boba tea options with different milks available. The service was great, and the tea was good. There isn't much seating inside so it's probably best to prepare to get your tea to go. All and all a good spot for boba in Columbia Heights.

Barely passable boba. Terrible bao. Person serving didn't know what bao was when I ordered it and I should have left then.

I tried their (smoothie) sky shake and it was probably the best bubble tea flavor I’ve ever had. I was curious about the flavor since blue isn’t a common color for drinks and they described it as “blue matcha with coconut.” I personally don’t enjoy the flavor of coconut but this didn’t have a coconut flavor to it. It was subtly sweet and creamy. The tapioca pearls were not as dense as I would have liked them to be but that may just be my preference. The price was about $10 for a cup so it was a bit steep but it could be due to the location. Overall, I would suggest giving the sky shake a shot!

After six weeks in DC, this has been my favorite place to stop by and get a treat (too often honestly). The boba is perfect for me, the teas are flavorful, and the bao buns are delicious. Highly recommend :)

It was good, but not amazing

The matcha smoothie with the tapioca pearls had good matcha flavor and color and was well-blended (no large ice chunks). I wish the straw had a slightly bigger diameter (or the bubbles slightly smaller) because quite a few got easily stuck in the straw. The $9.63 price was a bit of a sticker shock.

Tea was fine but they charged me a $1 extra when I asked for no ice in my drink. Charge not marked at all on the menu. Place also has a very strong smell inside...

They have a pretty nice range of flavors and options to choose from. I enjoyed the pumpkin milk tea a lot. Their mung bean bun was also really good! They have a counter to sit and eat at to if you want to stop for a minute. The inside is very pretty and the atmosphere is pleasant. The service was quick and the worker at the counter was very helpful!! Will definitely be coming back on future trips.
