Jay's Bubble Tea and Pinoy Snacks, MD — Restaurant in Reisterstown

I don’t leave review often, but this place deserves one. For the past decade, I have been boba’s #1 hater. If boba had no haters, then I’d be dead. However, that changed a week ago when I visited Jay’s Bubble Tea and Pinoy Snacks. The boy I babysit had just finished sports practice in Reisterstown and was craving boba. I reluctantly agreed to go (I didn’t have much of a choice considering I’m paid to be his personal chauffeur) and Googled the closest bubble tea store. I wasn’t planning on ordering anything, but I knew I’d get FOMO if I left empty handed. I ended up ordering the peach oolong tea with 50% sweetness and boba. As I sat waiting for my order, I felt as though it was taking a long time just to make a couple of teas. Little did I know that greatness was in the making. The boy I babysit and I enjoyed the decorum of the lobby—we particularly liked the AI dogs on the seat covers—until our drinks were ready. We get to the car, take our first sips, and my life was changed. The tea was perfect. Such an incredible taste and the perfect amount of sweetness. The bobas were big and delicious. The tea to boba ratio was spot on. I enjoyed every second of it. At this point, I had fully converted. I was hooked. Over the past seven days, I have traveled all around Baltimore and Howard counties trying different bubble tea locations. However, I keep thinking back to Jay’s. None could compare. Jay’s has set the bar and it is high. Now that I’ve shopped around and experienced different variation of the peach oolong bubble tea, I can fully appreciate the greatness that is Jay’s Bubble Tea and Pinoy Snacks. They have earned a new loyal customer and I cannot wait to continue to...

Took my girlfriend to try the new Filipino /bubble tea spot which opened recently in Reisterstown

She got a milk tea and Halo Halo(she said the Halo-Halo tasted like home, which was the best compliment she could give) and I got one the Hawaiian shaved ice, everything was great

We got a couple of traditional Filipino snacks that were there for sale(some of what they had available in stock were not available in other Filipino stores)

everything was great and the staff was polite and accommodating when answering questions being able to speak both English and Tagalog which made my girlfriend super excited and super easy for me

will definitely return again for the Halo-Halo, and to try the rest of the menu of cool...

Their halo halo special is truly special and delicious! You can choose your flavor of Magnolia ice cream on top, and I got the halo halo flavor. Their ingredients are homemade - from the leche flan, ube halaya (best I ever had!), and banana! It’s not too sweet and is very refreshing. You can also customize sweetness of their drinks, which is a plus. I also had their pork shumai - soo tasty! The restaurant is very clean inside. The business is family owned and ran, and they’re very friendly people that focus on food quality and customer service....
