Bubble Cafe — Restaurant in Athens-Clarke County Unified Government

I really like the feeling and look of this place, and the staff is pretty friendly and courteous, as well as knowledgeable about many different flavor combinations you could try. Very clean interior with a lot of seating, or an optional stand-alone bar top to lean up against while you wait. However, it’s a very popular establishment so the wait times can be a little long and it can get very loud inside, which makes it hard to hear the orders being called out. They have a great variety, and seasonal options as well.

If you’re a bit particular about tastes, I can say their flavored fruit teas are good and flavourful, but very sweet so maybe ask for extra ice? Also, the lettuce in their poke bowls can sometimes taste a little funny and feel gritty, as if they weren’t washed very thoroughly but the seasonings are still very good and I have never gotten sick.

My reason for four stars is due to the last few times I’ve been inside, I’ve ordered the takoyaki - which is delicious, highly recommend - and have been shorted a couple pieces which has been a little disappointing.

Overall, a great place to eat and hang out with many options and always something new to try! They have the usual hiccups that any business has, so please don’t let that discourage you from trying it out or giving it a...

Best food: Fried dumplings (pls try with the siracha mayo, its extra and its worth it), chicken cutlets with rice, and the Taro milk tea.

The chicken cutlets made me nostalgic for a childhood I didnt have. They have some amazing seasoning in them that is barely perceptible to the taste buds except to elicit the feeling that somehow, your mom made it.

If you've had the dumplings anywhere else and were unimpressed (as I once was), give them another shot here because they cook them with much more skill and care than I have found elsewhere. They are alwasy crispy and hot.

The Taro milk tea is a surprise for me, but I've never had it made better, despite always getting it at ever Boba place I go to 😂. It tastes like they ground the Taro in store. Its so creamy and rich with the Taro flavor.

If you want to be disappointed in every other Boba cafe for the rest of your life, eat here because no other will ever be able to compete with the superior level of care these individuals put into food and drink prep. In addition, the atmosphere and decor are fabulous.

Bubble is it. She's her. She's the only one you will ever need. You'll go to another Boba cafe and all you can think about is how much better it was with her....

My favorite restaurant in Athens!! My boyfriend and I order from here maybe once a week lol, we just love it that much. I've been going since they were in their old location and the food and boba are consistently great. I've been to the two other boba options in town and Bubble Cafe is still my favorite and has the best value/portion sizes.

All of their boba options (milk tea, fruit tea, smoothies, etc.) are amazing - my favorite is the pomegranate black tea with boba. The food is priced really fairly and they give a lot! I usually get their poke bowl and it's always fresh, delicious, and filling. I'm also a fan of their rice bowls - the braised beef rice bowl, curry chicken, General Tso's, salt and pepper chicken - all great options that I've tried. The staff are hardworking and efficient no matter how busy they get, just another reason to support this awesome...
