What is the best boba in DFW?

Posted by seandon2020@reddit | Dallas | View on Reddit | 65 comments

I seen some post from years ago, but thought from the growth from both Dallas and Fort Worth I could get some insight.

When I mean Boba, I mean just the drink. I do not mind the atmosphere or the environment and stuff. I want something I can get and enjoy with the kids.

Right now, we all enjoy Feng Cha the most. We also used to love Boba Guru, but I feel their changed their ingredient during Covid.
I sort of want to venture out from Feng Cha and try new things.

We currently love
Brown Sugar Milk Tea
Thai Tea
and the kids like very colorful like dragonfruit or like summer melon.

Let say I am looking for the best of
Brown Sugar Milk Tea
Thai Tea
Ube
Orea Milk

If not that please recommend me to try some new drinks. I am open to both Dallas and Fort Worth.

Feng Cha, best. You can try others, but will come back to Feng Cha. Sharetea is a close second.

I second Feng Cha. I haven’t tried Sharetea so I might check them out but I’m loyal to Feng Cha.

Happy Lemon is on my rotation just because of the bubble waffles.

Sharetea is pretty consistent but they recently did away with a lot of their choices adding to the milk tea like grass jelly and mini-boba, etc, sooooooo Feng Cha it is!

Depends on location. My local Sharetea in Rockwall has always had those options, but I was disappointed with the one inside Galleria last week.

We went to Tyler recently for the Rose Garden and Zoo, and the kiddo spotted Happy Lemon in Tyler and I got Kumquat Lemonade and I am indeed a fan of that!

The tiramisu milk foam is literally the best thing ever

[-]

seandon2020@reddit (OP)

So far, we have tried a good amount of spots and we been leaning hard on Feng Cha

[-]

seandon2020@reddit (OP)

What are some favorites, I tried their milk teas couple times in Austin but it felt a bit watery or not milky.

[-]

ango198@reddit

try their strawberry milk tea with oreo 🤌

[-]

fureinku@reddit

Mango yogurt with pearls and coconut jelly

Thai tea with oreo crumble

Those are my go-tos

[-]

Old-Pin-7839@reddit

We’ve tried probably 20 different boba shops in DFW and our overall favorite is TeaLatte in Coppell.

[-]

Ok-Team-6973@reddit

+1 for TeaLatte. There's one in Far North Dallas (Coit & Campbell) and in Frisco too.

[-]

seandon2020@reddit (OP)

Any suggestions, I believe there one near North Dallas!

[-]

I like ShareTea in Mansfield. It’s a chain but I haven’t been to the other locations . I’ve never had a bad boba drink there .

[-]

sgslayer@reddit

Rainbow teashop! Their tiger sugar is the best

[-]

raccoonmacaroon1@reddit

Scoop n’ Boba in Garland has the best thai tea boba I have ever tasted. They have great refreshers too and matcha.

[-]

soffwaerdeveluper@reddit

Yomie’s is pretty solid, but thats more like a yogurt drink than “boba”.

I really like the Mango Pomelo sago drink at Yomie’s and also the one at Yi Fang.

If you really like the tea aspect, Chi Cha San Chen is good. But their drinks are more tea focused and wont have many fruity options.

[-]

TP Tea is a chain straight from Taiwan, and they're among the most authentic imo, especially their taro tea.

They have a location in Richardson, or plano a bit further north

[-]

Admirable_Bad_5192@reddit

If you love Feng Cha, Sharetea is a solid second choice. Also, try Happy Lemon for their unique bubble waffles!

[-]

FigWise5682@reddit

Feng Cha is solid, but if you’re looking for something new, definitely try Gong Cha’s Thai tea with Oreo crumble. It's a game-changer!

[-]

These are probably the best ones in the area. I'd recommend Möge for the Oreo and Fruit teas, Tiger Sugar for the Brown Sugar, and maybe Tea Top for Thai tea. Most Boba shops will have Taro which is a lot like Ube.

tiger sugar and MÖGE TEE are my favorite. Tori dori chicken does make some adult bubble tea which is interesting.

[-]

Sterfrydude@reddit

the stand at the farmers market is pretty solid! just have to go on the weekend but it’s a great place to hang out.

[-]

17kangm@reddit

Moge Tee in Carrollton. Nothing comes close.

[-]

DangItB0bbi@reddit

The one from a can in a 7/11.

[-]

mrsmateen@reddit

I really like Tea Daddy and The Alley Tea

[-]

fiera6@reddit

Fruitealicious. Carrollton is my fave location.

Last time I went to FengCha they violated health codes by opening my drink with a random utensil on the counter, pouring boba in it, and snapping on a coffee lid to fix their error like nothing. This was after I had drank some of it. Gross.

[-]

NoDadNotMyTrolls@reddit

TP Tea is IMO better than most other places

[-]

mustbemydreams@reddit

Check out the Asian Grub in DFDUB Facebook group! tons of good boba recommendations. I love the brown sugar boba at Gong Cha, Thai tea at 7Leaves Cafe, and Fat Straws is DFW owned with awesome mochi donuts, perfect for the kids.

[-]

seandon2020@reddit (OP)

I am actually in the group and I feel doing some reviews here and there ;)
Thai Tea at 7Leaves is amazing!!! however kiddos dont have any favorites :(

When did Fat Straws add mochi donuts? Last time i went was in 2013 in college O_O

[-]

Mausbarchen@reddit

I would say since around 2017 is when they added mochi donuts. I think they’re the best ones I’ve had in DFW, too.

My vote is for Fat Straws. I’ve always loved them. And locally owned ☺️

[-]

mustbemydreams@reddit

Fat Straws has been doing mochi donuts for a couple of years now, with new flavors every month (they update their IG). I like theirs more than Mochi Nut, and they’ve got a special place in my heart since they’ve been around before the DFW boba scene blew up lol

[-]

wutcooldown@reddit

Chichan San Chen in Carrollton is top tier. The Alley in Plano is also a worthy mention.

[-]

seandon2020@reddit (OP)

That +1 for both, any recommendations from those locations?

[-]

Gamja9538@reddit

Passionfruit oolong

[-]

corthan73@reddit

If you are near Plano, The Alley is awesome for fruity drinks, which may fit your preferences well. TP Tea is very authentic but isn't as sweet. It's in Plano, Richardson, and Carrollton.

[-]

seandon2020@reddit (OP)

I have never heard of The Alley, I will look into this!

TP Tea is great, but like you said their sugar level isnt ideal for the kiddos.

[-]

Gikan64@reddit

I second The Alley, their Brown Sugar Derrioca has warm boba that is such a joy to drink.

[-]

username_user13@reddit

In Garland, try Scoop n Boba! I enjoy their creations—and then if you need an extra dose of fun, visit their sister location down the road Scoop n Bun—ube ice cream on a donut?? Yes please!

[-]

CmonGuy@reddit

Moge tee!

[-]

sunshao1031@reddit

I like moge tee in Carrollton

[-]

IcedCowboyCoffee@reddit

IMO, when it comes to the best boba--as in the actual tapioca balls inside the drink--Fat Straws has made the best boba for years. Perfect consistency, perfect size, perfect level of chewiness. From your list of drinks, I'd also argue they make the best Thai milk tea.

[-]

dau_hu@reddit

Love 7Leaves and Ding Tea!

[-]

Opacarophilyyy@reddit

I like T P Tea and R&B TEA

[-]

tonyr35@reddit

My favorite is redstraw tea bar in Carrollton. In terms of chains I like Happy Lemon and R&B tea

[-]

seandon2020@reddit (OP)

I have had really bad experience with R&B where they either messed up the order or sort of acted like they were rude. Which it could have been also me because I tend to get a bit testy when things arent fixed.
I shall try Red Straw, any favorites that i should look into?

[-]

tonyr35@reddit

Interesting! I’ve only had good experiences at the R&B tea in garland but I’m sure it can vary.

At red straw everything I’ve had is great! They use all natural/organic milks and syrups. And no powdered milk mixes. I’m a fan of the simple drinks so the green milk tea is my fav.
