First time customer and I will be back! The young men working were extremely friendly and helpful. The young man that made the ice cream PATIENTLY listened to my friends 6 year old daughter tell him stories as he was working. We tried to rescue him, but he assured us it was totally fine. He was even asking her questions! They had a constant flow of customers and every customer was treated with a smile! Plus, everything was delicious! We did tea and ice cream both.
The Boba tea itself I would give 5 stars, as well as the service from the young man at the counter. The part I didnt like was that the two young ladies making our rolled ice cream had their hair hanging over the ice cream as they made it. Im sorry but anyone making or prepping food should have their hair tied back. One of them was also wearing a super revealing crop top with her cleavage hanging out. It just didnt seem very appropriate for a store that serves families with kids.
I love this place SO much. The bubble tea is consistently amazing and they are always so friendly and helpful. 🥰
I use to love this place but I think the customer service I received the other day was awful. If it wasn’t for the guy there that actually helped me and apologized for everything I probably wouldn’t be going back.I ordered my order, paid, and tipped and the the lady who took my order only made half of it. She completely walked off and never finished the order I had. But she was very eager to make the group behind us their order instead. I’ve never felt so discriminated against honestly. I waited for 20-30 minutes on an order that should’ve taken 5 at most. Two groups of people got their orders and left when I ordered ahead of them. I finally told another employee who ACTUALLY helped me and took care of the issue right away.There’s no excuse when you’re literally the first customer and first order, you have the ingredients ready, there’s plenty of other staff around, and your looking right at the order to just walk off like that. Absolutely none.
Really nice variety of milk teas, smoothies, and other drinks and toppings. They also offer rolled ice cream. The prices were low and the employees were super sweet. Definitely a great place for boba tea!
Great fun little place to go. The staff is amazing and provide great customer service. My kids really enjoyed watching them create their ice cream they offer too. Great place to go.
Showed up two hours before closing and place didnt even have the ice cream machine running. Had to wait nearly 20 min and there was no one ahead of me. Also not to mention the group of half stoned high schoolers just loafing on the restaurants couch watching YouTube
I love their boba tea! It’s always so busy when I come in, but they get through everyone quickly and the store is pretty clean. I drive nearly twenty minutes to get here from my house, so I think that shows how much I prefer this place over other places. I also get the same drink order every time and have to resist coming here more than once a week. I recommend them!
I enjoyed the HazelNut with Bkack Boba...EXQUISITE!!!..I WILL BE BACK
I come here a lot after work and its always lovely. Drinks are awesome (only place I can find bursting boba which rocks), atmosphere is chill, always clean too! Today was super sweet because the lovely woman working the cash register was so kind to my partner and I and offered perfect customer service!! Thank you so much, Kylie!!! Youre a doll!!❤❤❤
I ordered the honeydew milk tea with passionfruit bursting boba and loved it. So good!
Truly amazing strawberry smoothie with cherry boba !!
Ill wanna try a different boba next time.
I have loved everything Ive ever tries here! Great smoothies and coffee and the space is fun!
If youre either a fan of boba or have never had it, please go here and check this place out. The people working there are so nice, so cool, and help make sure you get a drink right for you.
Honestly think the manager could have been a little bit more attentive and this is my opinion in my opinion alone if I owned shop, I would promote someone else to his managerial spot
The workers are very nice, The boba is great along with the ice cream!
I ordered over Grub Hub, and while I love the actual tea, the boba left a really bad after taste and it started to make all the teas taste the same. The closest I could describe it to is almost tasting like cleaner. I cant knock the tea, but the boba is not my favorite.
I highly recommend watermelon milk tea with green apple bobas. Mmh!
My #1 favorite place to get a drink. Employees and owner have always been wonderful. Very polite, patient and helpfulThanks everyone who works there!
JOE IS THE BEST!!! LOVE VISITING. BEST BOBA & BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. ENTIRE TEAM IS FRIENDLY, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND CONFIDENT IN PRODUCT.
This place is awful. I found more than one hair in my ice cream, they over price and the lady that took my order was unsanitary and rude
We had a little of a bad experience when I first took my girlfriend here as she was told they have no alternative to regular milk, she is lactose intolerant.We came back and a few nice ladies at the counter disproved that and gave my girlfriend a pleasant surprise as she was able to enjoy Boba Tea again! Weve been back many times since and the staff is super friendly and rarely make mistakes but hey, things happen.
REALLY love this place but i get smoothies and, justvin the lastvweek, they havent been doing smoothies when i go in!!! EXTREMELY frustrating and a huge waste of time to drive all the way over therecand stand in line just to see the tiny sign on the register that says not doing smoothies right now 😠
I stayed in Springfield for 3 months and loved this place. They dont have buba at home and I miss it. Hopefully wherever else we travel I can find it.
Went in there because I wanted something new, and had time to kill while at Firestone. The girl behind the counter is rude to customers, cannot take an order accurately to save her life and actually talked to a customer as though she was mentally challenged after messing up her drink 2 times. I understood her order, so did everyone else. If she tried listening as much as talking she might have got the order right the first or even second time, and instead of belligerence the customer might have been treated with a tiny amount of respect. She probably wont return, and I know I wont go back because I wont bite my tongue again if Im spoken to that way.
Great costumer service, vanity of flavors and ofcourse very very tasty Boba drinks...
Friendly service and yummy tea. Ill for sure be back next time Im in town!
I brought in 4 eleven year olds and everyone got a milk tea with popping boba. Unfortunately the strawberry tea with strawberry boba was made with bottom of the barrel boba. There wasnt a single popping boba to be found. As I am sure can imagine, to be the one friend whose drink doesnt have the most important part it was very disappointing. I am not sure why we werent just asked to pick a different flavor if stock was running low. When paying 4 dollars for a drink one would hope for it to be made to the highest standards.
Dalton was very professional and helpful on helping me figure out my drink when i couldnt decide and it was delicious. Very welcoming and friendly i would come again.
My wife and kids love. I cant get past the tapioca balls.🤢
Wonderful coffees & teas! The service is always fast & friendly :)
Strawberry milk tea was a little too different for me. The carmel milk tea was good though!
We received excellent customer service from Kylie and the drinks were great!
By far the best boba place I have been to in Springfield. Out of 4 places, this is my favorite.
Amazing rolled ice cream!!
Thank u charles, sage, and dalton for everything. I love driving up from Arkansas for my boba
Hidden away in Elfindale Center about a block East of Kansas and Sunshine is a delightful little drink speciality coffee and ice cream shop. IT IS BEHIND GREAT SOUTHERN BANK. The people are nice and extra shots are included in cost. WOW!
Kylie is a wonderful boba maker. She truly has a way with the art of boba-ing. A modern day Leonardo DaVinci but if his preferred medium of art was making boba teas. If you are looking for an actual mastercraft boba, look no further than here and ask for Kylie.
The cantaloupe smoothie is the best!
Gluten-free and dairy free options.I used to live in Hawaii so I have strong opinions on boba. They are very tasty for all of the core flavours. Some of the non-standard ones can be a little perfume tasting but they kill it on the milk tea, taro and such.The jellies are my favourite!
La boba has been super amazing and everyone here has been super kind and knowledgeable about boba and all their other products when I have questions. Kylie is always especially kind and she seems to always be there!
Love this place. Lady was super nice. Wasnt expensive. And the rolled ice cream was AMAZING. I totally recommend having the avocado with almonds.
Staff was friendly but the drinks were not so great. I got honeydew milk tea and it had a bitter after taste. The mango milk tea had a small spoiled milk taste. Ended up having to throw them both out. Most likely wont be back.
Customer service was garbage. Very rude and unwelcoming, but besides that ice cream was great!
Went in to get an avacado smoothie and an iced coffee, and I have to say the guy that help me was awesome!
This is the best boba place in town!
Congrats this place now has severe emotional importance to me since I went here with my crush and tried boba for the very first time with them. People at the counter were great and helped me work through the boba ordering process. I had a peach iced tea bursting boba and it was a hair sour at first but beyond that absolutely outstanding.
I wouldn’t waste your time. I ordered 4 ice creams. 20 minutes later (and after watching SEVERAL people get their order that came in AFTER me) I gave up and got my money back, leaving empty-handed. There were 3 employees. One poor girl was obviously baked out of her ever-loving mind. Never again.
The girl taking our order was friendly and our drinks were pretty good but looking around and seeing dust on the counters and from the things hanging from the ceiling was a little off putting.
My daughter has been begging to try the boba tea, I took her and her friend and this was the closest place. Mind you, I do not have a clue about this stuff. The gentleman working there was so helpful and thoroughly explained everything and what the girls were curious about. We ordered and he got the drinks out to us quick. The girls loved it! We will come back again. Great service and very neat place.
Dont even like boba but the lady and her family love this place. Not much of a wait either
Loved the drink and Saige was great!
First time at La Boba..staff was super helpful and pleasant. Tea was really good and they have a large selection to pick from. I ordered the watermelon smoothie with green apple burst and strawberry jellies..really tasty! If I go back and things are good again Ill give it 5 stars..just wanted to see if they are consistent!
Great Boba, my favorite is the Dragon Milk Tea.
This place is terrible. They messed up my order three times and they didn’t even have what I ordered and they told me after I ordered my ice cream. Don’t go here.
A bit pricey however not over priced. Couldn’t afford regularly but an amazing treat! If you can afford it, it’s far from a waste of money!
Love the oreo slushy bona. Yummy
I was an idiot and left my card in the machine. They set it aside and checked ID when I came to pick it back up. Safe and good drinks
The ice cream rolls were amazing however the Boba was horrible it honestly tasted like perfume we tried the milk then green tea and both were so disgusting and had nothing on the ones from the Mall.
Delicious! We love their eggnog milk tea SO much :)
The service at the Cafe is good and the beverages and food itself is of good quality as well. My complaints come with the price. 5$ for a drink is way too expensive. In most places, 5$ is enough to get 2 or 3 drinks. Not here. The furniture inside of the Cafe is also not the best. The sofas are broken and sink in onto broken wood which is extremely uncomfortable.. Some updates to the furniture and toning the price down would make this place a favorite.
Great drinks and amazing service.
All the milk teas and ice creams I have tried from La Boba Cafe have been great! I introduced it to one of my friends and its now one of her favorite places too!
I dont really like Boba but I enjoyed their coffee when my fiancée wanted Boba.
Nice place
La Boba is fantastic. Great coffee, great smoothies, great Thai ice cream. If you dont like what you get here, you just ordered the wrong flavor for you that time, so do yourself a favor and try something else! There are so many different options available, youre sure to find something you just cant live without anymore.This time, we tried 2 of their new seasonal flavors: Mint Chocolate and Pumpkin Spice (both in smoothie form). Both were AMAZING as usual. I would post pictures, but they were too good to last long enough for that!
The staff was nice and helpful.
If you love bubble tea you have to try it. If you havent had it its like drinking a sweet treat with gelatinous balls of jelly flying in your mouth. Fun for everyone plus you can use them as an amazing pea shooter.
Always speedy and delicious!
I dont come here often for myself but my wife is Vietnamese and she loves their smoothies and other cold drinks they sell with their tapioca pearls and the candies in the bottom. I did order the Vietnamese coffee and was definitely pleasantly surprised. Vietnamese coffee has a very distinct flavor and they made it with a froth that was fantastic. I have looked everywhere online for a menu and could not find one so I took pictures. Hope you can zoom and read them. The colorful one changes periodically but the others stay pretty much the same. Enjoy.....
I had a friend bring me here almost a year ago, and I havent been able to stop coming since! The staff are super friendly and the atmosphere is super comfortable inside. The ice cream rolls, shaved ice, and drinks areall amazing, and the staff are great at giving recommendations if youre new or have trouble deciding!
It was really good and fast service
Never go wrong eating here
My new favorite! A friend turned me on to bubble tea and this was the first place I tried and loved it. The guy was so helpful in explaining what they offered and gave me samples to find what I liked. Place has very hip decor, but its comfortable for anyone to relax. The ice cream rolls look delicious too.
