Bubble Bean — Restaurant in Pacific

I was REALLY excited to have a new boba place so close to my home in Eureka. I wanted a traditional mango milk tea so ordered the mango smash with black boba and my son had the rainbow with popping boba. 1. The mango smash isnt like typical milk tea-VERY VERY chunky, more like a smoothie with crushed ice, and the boba are tiny-not the big chewy typical black boba--think tapioca pearls instead. So the entire thing was a mixture of textures (ice chips, hard chewy mango, and tiny chewy tapioca) that just didnt go well and wasnt creamy at all like a milk tea. I know this is typically served with popping boba but that would not have made it better imo. 2. The rainbow looked nothing at all like the pic on the menu-more like if you layered a purple and a blue icee. I wish this place was more like other milk tea shops. Staff was...

Very friendly and helpful, would love to spend a ton of money here. But the brown sugar milk tea was not creamy or.... tea forward. It looked and tasted like very watered down milk over ice with brown sugar and boba. No taste of tea at all and the watery milk was separated looking in my boyfriend's drink too (strawberry milk tea that tasted like strawberry jam in watery milk). Paid over $30 for two large drinks with tip. I love supporting small business, but I can't afford to do it if the beverages aren't great. So bummed. Maybe in time they will...

I couldn't speak higher of this place! Not only were the drinks absolutely delicious but the owners are super friendly! We had a lovely conversation while we ordered and I ended up drinking almost half of my drink before we left the shop it was so good! I highly recommend this place for boba! I ordered the Taro and my fiance ordered the Cookie. They were both so delicious! Can't wait to stop there again...
