BOBA STOP — Restaurant in Town of Cheektowaga

Easily the best boba we’ve had in buffalo. You can trust this review because we currently live in DC, a boba hot spot on par with Boston and NYC. Most people in buffalo have no idea what real good boba is supposed to taste like (TBH lol).

We got the matcha and taro boba, and avocado smoothie. Matcha is good, and taro is best one in the area. The boba is a good consistency. It is medium soft on the softness scale, which is perfectly fine. Less experienced boba drinkers assume boba has to be extra soft and gooey, but it is actually a store and drinker preference. Tapioca boba can be super gooey OR more stiff jelly like, with a clear line between jelly like and stale, and this shop leans towards gooey but only slightly so that it is a medium soft and still chewy; right in the safe zone as most people prefer this. The smoothie was authentic as it gets for viet style… extremely nostalgic for me when I had it lots as a kid.

Pro tip: adjust the sugar as needed. 50-70% sugar is the norm in the boba scene but most Americans and boba beginners may want 70-100% sweetness. We got 50%. Pay to enjoy the texture and flavor, not the sugar! Having good taste even at 50% sugar further demonstrates the strong boba fundamentals that this place has. No hiding behind sugar!

Update: Went there a second time and the quality is consistent with...

No idea how this place could get anything other than 5 stars. I wish I had taken some photos, but after the first taste there was no stopping.

I ordered a pineapple tea (large, thank god!) with 50% sugar and no ice. I’m surprised some of these negative reviewers missed those options when ordering. I also grabbed a Vietnamese sub and hands down that might have been the best roll I’ve ever had in my life. It was crispy without tasting stale, and everything was lovingly assembled and wrapped.I was even asked if I had any special dietary restrictions they needed to accommodate. All of this while the place was absolutely slammed with orders. If I lived closer, I’d...

I often get food and beverage here on lunch but my goodness.... Yesterday I was on my lunch break while waiting for them to make up my order. The girl on the sandwhich bar kept putting down my order to text on her phone. I waited for 10 minutes for her to make my food while she just stood their and texted without caring about her surroundings. I do not mind waiting when it is busy but, if I am the only person there, it is my meal break and the person is more focused on their phone then their job I mind.... I guess I will stick to scheduling my meals in advance through door dash to not waste my break time waiting while for "Texty Mcgee" to put the...
