Bubble Bee — Restaurant in Tempe

It was my first time here and I can say for a fact, I’ll never come again for the sake of poor/ blatantly stingy/petty business model and practice. I have a habit of asking for light ice because I notice a lot of places use too much and ends up watering down my drink. I was then told that due to a new company policy starting this month, requests for light ice would mean an extra cost due to “getting more drink” as a result. Now here’s the kicker, I proceed with the purchase and paying extra for light ice; when the drink is ready I find that 75-80% of the cup is filled with ice! Then does that mean, a regular cup would be filled with 80-90% of ice? Lol if we follow this line of thought then the company is charging extra for what amounts to a negligible amount of beverage on top of already essentially already overcharging their customers that just buy the regular without any add ins or modifications. This is just blatantly greed to a new level and not worth your money. The juice shop down the way would be a better bang for your buck. This review will also go on Yelp to better spread awareness of this new horrible practice. Such practices should not be supported and only shows the awful nature...

What a dissapointnent at Arizona Mills Mall. We waited 20 minutes for a cup of Ramen noodles you can buy out of Walmart for$1.00 on October 23, 2020. The employee threw our cup of noodles on the counter that was only 1/4 filled with no lid. After she threw the noodles on the counter, she went back to the kitchen where the door swung open and she grabbed a broom to sweep the noodles off the floor. So I guess this is why the cup was only 1/4 full because the rest was on the floor. I threw it in the trash because what I saw when she threw the noodles on the counter with no lid. No cleansiness in a pandemic. Why serve people food in containers with no lid knowing no one can sit down and eat meaning their food is open while walking through the mall during Covid-19 and mask on? I do not want to eat while walking in the mall because I will have to remove my mask. They do not provide lids where you can take your food home. So how many germs got into my food before walking into the mall portion without a lid and where is the rest of the noodles? My point exactly. First and Last time...

I went to this Bubble Bee inside of the mall on January 14, 2022. My husband and I split a large drink and saw that they also had food options. It seems like the staff don't know much about the actual food items. We asked what type of noodles (Rice? Buckwheat? Wheat?) were in the new Korean dish that was advertised next to the register. The girl who took our order was like. "I don't know. Shrug."

Ummm ok.

I have Celiac so I can't eat wheat noodles so if the cashier doesn't know, I'm not ordering.

Drink list is extensive and overwhelming with the sheer number of toppings in each drink. Our drink, the "Coffee Break" consisted of "French" coffee, half-and-half, honey boba and coffee jelly.

The honey boba didn't taste like anything and the coffee was very light. I think it may be for people who order coffee despite not liking coffee.

Luckily here you can choose the level of sweetness in your drink, including no extra sweetener, so...
