Daboba — Restaurant in Gilbert

First time here, and I tried the Winter Mellon Green Tea with Coconut jelly. I haven't tried anything comparable at other boba places, so it wasn't something I was familiar with. Was great, refreshing, and well-balanced flavor and sweetness. I am looking forward to next time; I will try lighter on the ice, a bigger size, and likely try one of the Taro offerings (which I didn't see initially).

Edit 9/9/24: Made it back over this morning around opening. I had some time between appointments, so I was able to try a few things.

First, I tried the Taro Fresh Milk tea with Purple Rice and Sago (lite ice and regular sweet) and thought it was a great mix of flavors and textures, slightly starchier than most of the Taro Milk teas I have had elsewhere and the Sago is basically mini-boba which was new and pleasing.

Next, I tried the Honey Golden Boba Green Milk Tea (lite ice regular sweet). I really love the slight honey sweetness of the Honey Golden Boba, but the milk tea wasn't quite my favorite; good and great contrast to the boba, but maybe slightly sweeter for me next time.

Finally, I mixed it up on the Wintermellon Green Tea with Coconut Jelly by swapping out the regular boba for the Honey Golden Boba, and this was delicious and refreshing.

The gal that helped me through all of these selections also recommended trying another mixup for next time: Wintermellon Milk Tea.

If I have the time again, perhaps try the Wintermellon Green Tea with Crystal and Honey Golden Boba, too, as that sounds like it could be a delightful experience.

As a side note, the straws here aren't my favorite, but they can get the job done. I recommend a puncture on the opposite side of the lid as sometimes without this, you might get a weird vacuum effect on the cup. Also, to puncture the lid or add the straw, I found it was inefficient to ineffectual to cover the flat end with your finger and stab like more ridged straws. Instead, pinch the straw near the pointy end, collapseing it down like the tip of a paper airplane, and give it a quick jab. Of course, you could always just pre-cut the lid where you want with a key or little pocket knife, but even a little knife can sometimes make others in the area as uncomfortable, so I don't fully recommend a knife unless you are...

I’ve tried several different types of boba here, and every single drink has been delicious and made with care. The boba is always fresh, perfectly chewy, and paired with drinks that are full of flavor—not too sweet, just right. You can tell they use quality ingredients and put effort into making sure each drink tastes amazing.

The owner and the staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming you with a smile and making you feel right at home. They’re always happy to answer questions or suggest flavors if you’re not sure what to get, which makes the experience even better.Whether you’re new to boba or a long-time fan, this is the perfect place to visit. The fresh, high-quality drinks and warm, genuine customer service make it a spot worth coming back to again and again. I’ll definitely be recommending this place to friends, family, and anyone who loves a great...

You really can't go wrong here! I have tried their earl grey matcha, cocoa frappe, Thai tea, and strawberry yogurt. Everything has been delicious and they make it quick. My favorite so far has been the cocoa frappe and the earl grey matcha. I get mine at 75% sweetness as it's definitely sweet. I also tried their s'mores bar and it was super good. Moist with a slighty crunchy exterior. My only gripe is that a lot of menu items contain matcha and they have been out of matcha 4 of the 5 times I have been there. I usually go once a week and if twice then it's spaced far apart in the week. I really only go to a coffee shop to order matcha and it has made me branch out and try their other items but I have a hard time understanding how a business can be out of matcha for weeks. Great clean place with awesome staff but if you're craving matcha be prepared to be...
