Elite Boba MKE

Yeah... okay.... if I am ever in the area, I will definitely stop back. The drinks are well-made. I like the fruit tea better than the milk tea (weak in flavor). The boba has a nice chew to it. Love the decoration and cleanliness. The 2 people who took my order were friendly. Fresh and pleasent atmosphere. Go check it out!!

This place is pretty good. The boba drinks were great and flavorful. They tasted good and if you want to go here strictly for a good boba drink, I'd rate it a 4 star. However, I wanted some good pastries and the shelves were completely barren. Recommend going here if you're looking strictly for boba.

the bobarista was so so sweet to all of us, overly kind and helpful. the drinks all turned out amazing. today is my birthday and i wanted to have a special treat and she nailed it! even turned the music down low for us to hang out and chat ❤️

We had a lovely individual take time and care with each of our drinks. We make boba at home and know it takes a minute. We appreciated the attention to detail. Our drinks were yummy.

We tried the strawberry peach smoothie and Mango smoothie. The smoothies melted extremely fast, since the boba was so hot and it affected the taste. We'd also ordered and paid for 2 buns, but didn't receive them when the smoothies were ready. After I asked for the 2 buns we ordered as well, we were told that they were sold out. Also, that we should check the display on the side before ordering from the kiosk. This was our first time here and we weren't aware of this. I'd think that the kiosk shouldn't allow customers to purchase products that are sold out. Normally you wouldn't be able to add an item to your cart, if it's no longer available. She then offered to provide a refund, after I asked about the buns. I just don't understand why I had to ask in order to get the refund. If I didn't say anything, they would've kept the $8 and some change. Also, the tip is calculated by the total cost, so essentially the tip calculations are incorrect too; Since it factored in the buns we weren't receiving. Not sure why I even paid a tip, when Noone greeted us upon entry. Plus another patron recieved their order before ours, even though they came in after and ordered at the counter. Also, Noone told us buns we'd paid for were sold out, or proactively offered to refund. Just a hot mess. The second star was added because the decor is cute.

So excited to have a delicious bubble tea place in this neighborhood! I ordered Brown Sugar Milk Tea and Signature Milk Tea with Oreo & Cheese Top. Both were delicious!! You can customize your sugar level and ice level. Sweetest staffs-even gave my dog a pup cup

Delicious!!!!!!! The guy working was very nice. So good these are. Just watch out they tip over easily and cause a big mess. 😳

Seriously amazing! I've had the ancient brown sugar bubble tea, romantic rose milk tea, matcha with honey red bean, and coconut water with rose jelly & cream and they were all DELICIOUS. Best in MKE

Got the matcha with taro and boba, very yummy! Very cute store, got it quickly, service was great

I've been here a handful of times because I love the consistency of their tapioca boba. However, they have messed up my order the last two times. You can request the sugar content of your drink, and I choose 0 sugar added, while my daughter chooses 50%. The last two times, they have made errors and my drink is all sugared up and my daughter's has zero sugar. Of course we don't realize until we are driving away..... Very odd that this has happened twice consecutively. Time to try out a new boba joint!

My all time favorite boba place. They have good quality ingredients that you can really taste, and the staff is friendly! I made it a goal of mine to try all of their drinks! I'm about a quarter done. AWESOME BOBA AND PASTRIES!

Easy in and out, order at the kiosk and staff has it ready at the end of the bar. Really good selection of teas and juices. I do wish they had just build your own but you can usually get around it with most customizations if you know what you want. Music is always playing on the TV too.

After a day of walking around the Historic Third Ward and Lakeshore State Park, we were looking for a nearby boba shop for a sweet drink. Elite Boba seemed like a good option and we dropped by in the afternoon. Ancient Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, Less Ice ($6.95) - This drink comes with black sugar boba. I had to ask what exactly "Ancient Brown Sugar" was and the barista didn't really know. It's unclear to me what the difference is between the brown sugar milk tea and the ancient brown sugar milk tea since the photos look the same. She did state that the drink is made with Assam tea and they added a brown sugar syrup to sweeten the drink. The drink here is actually quite good. The sweetness of the brown sugar, the creamer, and the tea is very well balanced, giving a drink that allows you to taste each individual component quite well. The tea is fragrant and the sweetness is on point at 50%. There's still a lot of ice in the drink for being ordered less ice. The boba here is not good and quite hard overall. The exterior has a decent chew, but most pearls are a bit lumpy. The interior has a firm, chalk-like center as if it hasn't been fully cooked, which made it unpleasant to eat. Milk Tea Rating: (5/5) - More like a 4.5/5 but rounds to 5. Boba Rating: (2/5) Overall the drinks here seem to be quite good, but I would recommend staying away from the boba as a topping. Unless of course you think it was just a fluke this visit. Note: If you order at the Kiosk, they charge a service fee, but if you order at the counter, the fee is waived. Bathrooms - One unisex room in the back.

I've been craving boba for months after moving to Milwaukee, and I finally decided to get some at Elite Boba. Elite Boba is such a cute shop! Not only do they offer a variety of fun drinks, but they also carry a few pastries as well. I loved that they also have two kiosks that you can order at in case the front desk is busy (or if you just prefer to order there instead! I recommend to order at the front if you have a lot of modifications.). I ordered the lychee with mango and strawberry jelly and it was super refreshing! The heart and star shaped jellies are so adorable and tasty. I like how most of their drinks aren't overly sweet even if you opt for 80-100% sweetness. I'll definitely have to come back to try their other drinks, especially the panna cotta! (p.s. if you like kpop, they have cupsleeve events quite often!)

First, if you want to use Yelp's 10% off, don't order via the kiosk. Learned that the hard way. I stopped in on a whim after dinner, I'm always hungry for boba! The shop is very similar, almost exactly the same, to UniUni in West Allis. Same cups, near exact menu, same ordering styles that offer a unique tailored drink to your liking. Unfortunately I didn't like mine all that much. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha Latte with less ice and sugar and it still tasted like a milkshake. It was ok, just way sweet and I couldn't taste the matcha at all. The order didn't take long to make, so that was nice. However, there's a mystery service fee that I noticed after the fact. No idea what it's for, there was no signage recognizing an additional fee on orders. And while it's nominal, I'm still annoyed. I want to know what I'm paying for. It was fairly clean inside, bright and had some seating. But it looks like some of the decor could use a touch-up job. Little things that that make the shop feel a tad run down.

I've lived in MKE for a little over a year now and have been praying for a boba shop to open close to me (or at least downtown). I'm so glad someone out there was able to answer my prayers! This spot has a few tables and chairs inside, but wouldn't recommend it as a place for studying as I would assume this place can get pretty busy and loud. For the short 10 minutes I was there, they had a good amount of orders and food deliveries come through. I've had Le C's before in Madison and enjoyed their tea lattes so definitely was a fan of them opening up this location! Piggybacking off of other Yelpers, they are pretty light-handed with their sweetness. I am personally a fan of a good 30-50% sweetness for my drinks so I really don't have any complaints, but I did notice that my 50% sweetness seemed like a 30%. So happy this place is here and can't wait to come back to get more of their drinks (and pastries once I can catch their schedule)!

Le C's tea house in Madison has always been on my list, but I am so glad they opened a new one in Milwaukee so I don't have to travel to try their treats. The boba cafe is located in Milwaukee's East side, and I do love the walkablility of the area. I asked the staff for a low sugar, dairy free option, and they recommended the White Peach Oolong Tea with Soy Milk Boba and Taro. Since it is the time of Lunar New Year, if I got a $10 purchase, I could pick a lucky red envelope for a future discount. So I also bought a pork floss bun too. The drink was delicious, especially the squishy, fresh boba. The pork floss bun was fresh, scrumptious and almost addictive. 10/10 Le C's! I can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

Finally, Milwaukee has authentic, great bubble tea / boba / milk tea! We have been regulars at their Madison location and loved their milk teas and Asian style pastries, so we were super excited to visit the newly opened Milwaukee location! Clean, modern and bright environment, full tea menu with real, freshly brewed tea (instead of using tea power... if you know you know), chewy boba, good milk and cheese top, flexible sugar and ice level options... they have everything that I look at a good boba shop. I got black tea milk tea with boba and taro (no sugar since taro is already sweet) and hubby got rose Tie Guanyin milk tea with cheese top and boba (less sugar). Both were very good as we expected! My other favorites on the menu are Ancient Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea, Signature Milk Tea with Honey Red Bean, Ceylon Black Tea Latte and White Peach Oolong Tea w cheese top. They currently don't carry the yummy pastries (oh Hokkaido Cream Cheese Cake Roll, Soy Milk Custard Mug Cake, Basque Cheesecake and Japanese Souffle Cheesecake). But you can always take a look at the menu on their website and call the shop and pre order and they will get everything from the Madison original shop.

I like to think that I live, love, laugh boba considering I have a mild boba obsession and even used to work at a boba shop. Was ecstatic to hear that the Le C's in Madison was opening a new location in MKE! I've tried the Le C's in Madison before and thought it wasn't too bad - definitely on the better side for what you can get in Wisconsin. I'm pleasantly surprised to say I prefer the MKE location over the Madison location. For starters, the menu is very true to a more traditional boba shop -- very tea-centric with the plethora of tea lattes they have on the menu. The pearl topping is cooked very well here. So soft, chewy, with the perfect amount of QQ, and coated well in brown sugar. The drinks were very decent too! Definitely the most similar to boba I've had on the west/east coast. Would highly recommend NOT asking for less sugar at this boba shop. I've noticed that they are quite light-handed with adding sugar to the drinks. Their 50% sweet drinks taste more like 25% sweet. Wish that pastries were available for sale on a more consistent basis, but I'm sure supply is limited. Just glad that the boba options in MKE are expanding!

Was on our way to Chicago and decided to make a pit stop for boba. The little shop is adorable and I loved the simple decor. Taro Pana Cotta - This was LEGIT, the Wear Coast only offers 1-2 flavors with Pana Cotta and this location has a variety! Grape w/ Cheese Foam - One of my NEW favorite flavors this year Brown Sugar Boba - Very VERY safe choice Anyways, I definitely recommend y'all stop by and grab a drink or 2 when you're in the area.

Wonderful place and delicious boba tea! Great service, ambiance, and place to hang out!

Love the location, this part of town was definitely in need of a boba shop! I visited right after they opened and had a great experience, the staff was welcoming and everything was timely. My most recent visit was a little disappointing as I didn't realize they had installed ordering kiosks off to the right when you walk in, so I was standing at the counter for a good few minutes and everyone was ignoring me. I finally saw someone else walk in, so went to use the kiosk but it was odd. The boba is always cooked through, I've had other local shops where it's hard. Little bummed they don't use the vacuum sealed style cups, the lids are a little finnicky and it does seem like an excessive amount of plastic.

We literally saw this shop featured on Yelp while driving into town and decided to stop by. Our intention was to get the panna cotta. Parked on the street and what a cute little cafe! Saw three staffs working but no one was at the register. We ordered via kiosk and didn't see panna cotta. There were a couple of customers and not super busy on Sat around 1 pm. We had osmanthus oolong tea with cheese top and crystal boba, white peach oolong latte with crystal boba and passionfruit lemon rose tea with popping boba. Unsure if the kiosk mentioned there was cheese top in my drink but since I love cheese top, I added the cheese top for an extra $1. My friend's oolong latte had boba but it wasn't clearly stated in the kiosk, so he added crystal boba for an extra $1. The peach green tea with rose flower/lemon tasted too artificial like soap and my friend couldn't drink it. She wanted to get a different drink but was denied. Perhaps it's better to order via register as the cashier could verify/confirm if we wanted extra cheese top and boba. The extra cheesetop was a waste; the oolong latte had brown sugar boba and crystal boba which was extremely filling. I personally like my drink despite it being a bit too sweet (normally order at 50%) but it'll be hard to convince my friend to go back as her first experience on rose green tea was negative. You can customize the ice and sweetness levels on most drinks. For some reason, I couldn't customize my sweetness on the osmanthus drink. I ended up adding the 'free' water near the counter to dilute it. Reasonable pricing and they have a loyalty program once sign up with phone number at the register. You can't do it via kiosk. Also, you get 10% off drinks when checked in via Yelp but I never got it since I ordered via kiosk and that sucks!

I'd be upset if I was the owner and I saw how the employees were behaving when I went. There were only two other customers in the store and it took them literally 20 minutes to make my drink because they kept stopping in the middle of making orders to chat and joke with each other. They were talking about people's sexuality in crude terms. The drink was just okay, by the way.

By far the best boba i've had so far. The fruit is fresh, and the popping boba is delicious. Workers are very nice! Seems like they get quite busy, yet they manage to get orders out efficiently. High quality & good prices.

First time at the new elite boba mke on Farwell. Overall, good experience and good drinks! They do not really have food but have some desserts you can choose from. They had A TON of drinks to choose from with a lot of different customization options. I just did grab and go but they do have some seating inside and they also have some very cute decor. The staff was very friendly and had some good tips to someone who does not drink boba very often. I would definitely try this place again!

Updating review based on better experience second time around. I ordered two drinks: the same as last time and a rose milk tea. The boba was cooked well and the drinks were sweetened as requested. I'm updating because I wanted to give them another shot to see if it had been an off-day (busy day the first time), and I was pleasantly surprised. The drinks were tasty, the tea shop is clean, and they have a lot of options.

Le C's is one of my favorite boba places in Madison and I am so happy they're opening here too! The staff are super nice and sweet. The interior is cute, bright and clean. They also have various buns for snacks! Le C's sells the same boba tea as Elitea in Chicago's Chinatown and it's pretty authentic Taiwanese milk tea. I've always lamented how Milwaukee doesn't even have a single chain bubble tea shop (not even a KFT), so imagine my joy when we got Elite!!! I would highly recommend this place to those who like the bubble tea shops you can find in Chicago's Chinatown. We got a two drinks: Large Peach Oolong Tea Latte with Boba and Cheese Foam Top (30% sugar): the delicate peach flavor really comes through! I think 30% is a little too unsweetened, however, to balance the milk in this drink (it has a good amount of milk since it's a tea latte). Next time I'd try it with 80% sugar. I LOVE the slightly salty and creamy cheese foam top that balances the sweet/milky drink. It's one of my favorite toppings from Le C's and a real treat! Regular Signature Milk Tea with Boba (50% sugar): this is a really great, safe option for those who aren't sure what to order from their rather extensive menu. You can never go wrong with a basic black milk tea. The boba is chewy, firm, and very yummy! Definitely high quality. A tip on sweetness levels: when I get drinks with boba, I typically get 50% sweetness level since the boba itself adds sweetness (it's cooked in brown sugar). However 50% sweet here is LESS SWEET than the 50% I've had at other places. The 30% is almost not sweet at all. So next time I come here, I'll probably go for 80% sweetness I highly recommend this place!!! I'll be a regular!

So excited to have a delicious bubble tea place in this neighborhood! I ordered Brown Sugar Milk Tea and Signature Milk Tea with Oreo & Cheese Top. Both were delicious!! You can customize your sugar level and ice level. Sweetest staffs-even gave my dog a pup cup

I tried Elite Boba for this weeks Yelp Elite event, my girlfriend and I are huge lovers of Boba. Upon arrival you are met with the sweet smell of milk tea and flavor in the air and a friendly greeting. The menu had tons if drink options front and back, milk tea options, milk boba, fruit drinks, and a variety. The place is cute and quirky, minimal and simple. I was really impressed with the pineapple orange green tea with the dragonfruit popping boba!! It had real fruit pieces in it and was super flavorful. I also ordered the milk tea with Oreo cheese whip, I was so curious what the cheese whip was, its like a thicker froth, had oreo pieces, and was super interesting and delicious, I'll come back for it again. I came in at 8:15, they close at 8:30. The service was quick and friendly. Had to go a second time today to get them again!! Loved the cheese top so much lol

Finally! A real authentic Bubble tea shop in Milwaukee. No more super sugary cold drinks that's not even tea based labeled as bubble tea. Give it a try it's really high quality at a great price. They also have great pastries.

When I heard that we had a new boba place in town, I was pumped to hear that it was Le C's! It was one of my go to spots in Madison so after hearing that they opened in Milwaukee, I had to check it out. Best boba in Milwaukee hands down.

This place came recommended to me by a few friends, saying that it was more authentic than other mke boba shops. The 5 stars comes from the quality of the milk tea. The ancient brown sugar bubble milk tea. According to staff, the "ancient" is stronger and more flavorful. It was deliciously smooth and creamy. The pearls were nice and soft and 50% sweet was plenty sweet for me! Service was a little slow, and the interior could use some more design, but overall cute and (spirited away will always make me smile).

They have fantastic customer service and delicious Boba! I also love the ambience. It's always very fresh and clean.

First time trying the place, I got the strawberry matcha latte with whole milk and my sister got the ancient boba milk tea. I love myself a matcha and this one very much exceeded my expectations. The service was very quick we went around 7:18, there were people already sitting and we ordered, the server was very nice and patient as we took a while to order. I will be going here again!

We've come to elite boba a few times now and absolutely love it! We've only ever gotten the brown sugar tea because the menu is so expansive it's difficult to decide and it's always busy but they're quick and have a kiosk too. I've tried asking a few questions about the menu, as I'm not as familiar with boba tea, and felt that the questions were a bit dismissed which is the only reason for the 4 stars.

Elite, YOU are the Boba place I have been WAITING for! Sure, there are places in Boba places in Milwaukee, but not like Elite. First of all, they have cheese foam- if you know, you know. If you don't know, then try it out and you will see what I'm talking about. It's delicious! My go to order is the brown sugar boba tea with tapioca pearls and cheese foam (50% sweet with light ice) my mouth is watering just typing it out. So so so good! The service is always on point- friendly and fast! Don't forget to sign up for their rewards!

This was my first time trying boba, loved it. I purchased the brown sugar boba and was really happy. Looking forward to trying more!

Just tried this out yesterday but forgot to take pictures. Plain and simple but it's good drinks for a good price, would highly recommend trying!

Our favorite boba spot in MKE! Love that they offer no sugar, 30%, 50% sugar options, delicious toppings with many options, incredible variety of hot and cold drinks with all the flavor options! Yummy baked goods and tasty treats! The employees are very kind and helpful, too! More of a to go spot feel, but you can always stay a while and sit at their tables. Order in persxn face to face and collect rewards for each purchase 50 points is a $5 reward on a future purchase. If you use the kiosk you can't gain rewards. Enjoy!!!

Nothing's better on a hot summer day than a tea, any tea at Elite Boba MKE!! FOR REAL!! Nice people that are sweet and timely with service. And a cool, fun anime vibe. This is another review that's been hecka overdue!! My reviews are usually tardy to the party but I'm still keep in' it real. Many thanks for having me!!

Took my Niece while visiting back home. We couldn't decide what boba we wanted so we needed up ordering 4. All of them were delicious. Would highly recommend to any boba lovers out there!

Ordered drinks around 7pm tonight, all the two girls working did was talk, cuss, joke around in the back one even said "I don't wanna make this drink" then after she made our taro drink she said "it's better than the last one, eh good enough, where the fuck is the matcha" and she also added "I should just quit this job" as my niece and her boyfriend waited for their drinks. Drinks are okay.

Nice interior, friendly staff, and great drink selection! I was so torn between what drink to choose, so much looked yummy! I got a new flavor- the strawberry peach smoothie. The smoothies are more like slushees and are blended with ice and a fruit syrup/purée maybe-but the flavor was still delicious. I like how they have a selection of pastries as well. They have boba, jellies, cheese foam, and popping boba to add to the drinks. I also got some kind of sweet bread roll that was nice. I'll definitely come back and try new flavors and combos!

My first time getting bubble tea in mke and it was pretty good! I got the brown sugar bubble milk tea which I was obsessed with. Unfortunately they were out of the red velvet cake that is strawberry filled so i was unable to try that. Excited to go back and get it though!

Best tea this side of the WI border. Fast and friendly service with a variety of options

We really enjoyed our drinks but the reasoning for 3 stars is that even though there were not a lot of people there, it took forever for us to get our second drink. We placed our order and the guy checking us out was very informative and friendly. But then we sat the the table to wait, we saw them make our first drink and then just waited to be called. They never called us, 10 minutes past we go up and inquire about it. They said oh, this is your drink but we have to still make the other one. So I took that one and sat down back down. Again, I don't see them make it and make others in between. Finally after a really long wait finally our second drink was made. People who came in much after us already got their drinks and left before us or with us. So weird, looks like maybe they had a lot of possibly online orders. Not really pleasant to just have your one drink waiting, they should make full orders completely so people have their drinks timely and fresh. The girl who I asked didn't seem to care when I went up to ask the first time and still made us wait with no explanation. I think this location is new so there are still some kinks and customer service things to work out. I just hope that doesn't happen to anyone else.

best boba in wisconsin probably i love that you can choose your sugar levels and the store is very cute. also it's nice to be able to order electronically with the kiosk they have in-store because it makes it super easy and (probably?) quicker

This place has been open for barely a month and I'm pretty sure the employees recognize me already.....my first sip of their brown sugar boba was a spiritual experience. The bakery is also fire. Thank you Le C's !!!!!

The service here was so bad! They made my drink wrong and it tasted sooo bad, I kindly asked if they could fix the drink at all and the manager (I think he's the manager) told me no they cannot fix it after the other staff member already told me they could..... The manager said I'd have to pay for a whole new drink if they had to fix it. Bad service, very rude, my drink was undrinkable and my whole experience honestly sucked :( I do NOT recommend this place to anyone.

My gf always come to grab 5-10 drinks. Her favorite is ‍ cost a lot but she loves it

We needed a good bubble tea place on the east side!! The pastries are also soooo good!!

If you are looking for the best bubble tea in Milwaukee. This is the place to go. It has bubble tea, fruits tea and other types of tea with variety of flavors. It also has yummy breads and cakes.

Best boba in town, and it's not even close. Excellent and varied drink options. Wide variety of toppings. Having choice of size is nice. Pastries are good, but sell out fast. Boba is excellent texture. Great customer service. Well decorated and some decent room for seating. Of note - the sweetness option for drinks is more variable than most places. If you order 50% sweetness here, it's almost like getting 10-20% sweetness from another shop. Would recommend 80% or above at first.

The best BoBa in Milwaukee hands down! I had Boba from several shops in MKE and Elite Bob's lives up to their name. The drinks are rich, authentic with great quality!

Great selections. This location recently opened. Fresh boba. We will be back. Street parking. We did not have to wait very long for our order.

For my very first time ordering from Elite Boba, I ordered the strawberry matcha with the brown sugar boba and mango nata de coco and let me tell you both the experience and drink itself was amazing! Love how the boba was chewy and sweet, it was my first time trying mango nata de coco and it was delicious! The drink was refreshing and on point! I ordered delivery for my first time and the service was fast and easy to order through their website. I went back again with my sisters but this time in person, the shop and experience inside of their boba shop was great! We loved it and we will be coming back to try other drinks we found interesting
