Rustic Bubble Tea Cafe — Restaurant in Albuquerque

Really generous menu offerings of tea, bubble tea, and food. Small but spacious with comfortable seating.

Not too fancy but great selection. Could be a great place for a very first date. It’s the kind of place that communicates that you like someone and hope to get acquainted - but no pressure! And whoever you go with or take with you is likely to find something to enjoy.

I tried it out bc it’s near my doctor’s office; now it may become one of my go-to locations.

I tried the fish and chips - not greasy & very satisfying - plus blueberry green tea - refreshing and healthy - with some boba added on top. And they sweetened it w/ honey, not sugar per my request.

Informal and friendly management. A little hard to find bc it’s tucked between Crunch Fitness and Subway, and the sign is in dark letters. But easy to remember the location once you’ve been there.

So I go to this shopping center where Google says i can get a bubble tea at 9pm on a Tuesday, I see an eclectic menu on the door offering everything from Pho to chicken wings, and as I step inside I'm transported to a world where delicious bubble tea is available in more flavors than I thought possible, a world where I can get a wide variety of food, and sit in a comfortable and cheerful environment, and to be honest it's changed me. The bubble tea was very high quality, delicious, and I look forward to going again! I wish I could...

Really really really bad. In all aspects. Service was bad - the two men working the register were not friendly. The food is AWFUL and overpriced. On top of the tepid taste of the flash-reheated, previously frozen snacks, portions were also super meager. $15 for less than 4 ounces of food.

If you have experience at boba+snack shops from a larger city with a more substantial Asian population (Boston, New York, LA, Chicago, SF, etc.) you will have a misguided expectation trying to get Taiwanese street snacks (popcorn chicken, fried calamari, etc.) at Rustic compared to shops in those cities. This place is nothing like any of the decent street-food snack shops I've previously frequented, and would advise someone seeking that type of food to...
