Honey Bubble Tea

It might not be the most conventional order, but I tend to really like fruity tea with my boba. Not as much into milk tea. I don't often find places that offer options for both. So, I was really excited when I saw all the options at Honey Bubble. The store itself was pretty clean and nice, staff was nice, and the Georgia peach black tea was amazing. Definitely recommend this spot if you're craving a bubble tea near the Ponce area.

Friendly staff and drinks are reasonably priced; menu is on the less traditional side, but still includes a few classic tea flavors. Topping selection is a little limited. Although the parking lot isn’t super big, we’ve never had issues finding a space. Location can be easy to miss; it’s a smaller building on the side of a busy road

Had dinner down the street and wanted a special treat! Stopped in! Very clean, quick and boy was it tasty and priced accordingly. I asked for suggestions, and I had the Peach Clear tea with Strawberry Boba! My picture shows you that it was great!

Update! Honey Bubble is back up to par! I love their Georgia Peach with Lychee Jelly and they make it just right. Really upset with my experience today. I go to Honey Bubble often. Issues: 1. Woman working there by herself did not know how to accept the rewards program, no free drink although I earned it. 2. No whole milk for milk tea, had to have coconut instead and it's warm! 3. Passionfruit tea warm, green tea should have been black,no ice and no flavor - disgusting! Tried to call, no one picking up. I'm so disappointed and out $25.

Great boba and easy to navigate menu. Love the lavender milk tea boba. It's so refreshing. Must try

A very well laid out place with great decor and friendly staff. I had the Georgia Peach clear tea and it was flavorful. The bubbles aren’t the chewy kind. Literally pop like bubbles.

First time here, I’ve always been a Boba fan, but this place is different. It tastes all natural. I was torn between the coconut palm and pistachio. When you first walk in, they have an information wall, which I’ve never seen in any other tea shops. Yup, i totally nerded out over that! Hah!

Honey Bubble is a mainstay in our lives and the reason is simple, a great menu of unique drinks and excellent customer service. The owners also own The Consulate which is an outstanding local restaurant so they have the customer service values in their bones. I have too many favorites but it is a local favorite for kids and adults alike. Despite Covid they still offer the best bubble teas and slushes on Ponce. We keep coming back for more. Updated menu and still fabulous!

I'm not from Atlanta, and when I first ordered, I was wondering why a milk tea with 1 free topping added up to $7. Then I took a sip and realized wow this is really great milk tea! The Sakura green milk tea with coffee jelly is definitely one of the better milk teas I've ever had, and I live in a city with dozen of milk tea stores. I stopped by during the middle of a weekday so the parking lot was empty. I ordered my drink and it was ready within a few minutes. Good to know that the tea is fresh. I'm not really a boba fan, but I like jelly, and I've never had coffee jelly before so I was really impressed with the one here, since it comes for free with the milk tea selection. The workers were nice to interact with. I really liked the decorations in store to show the origins of milk tea.

The boba tea is good, but the service is spotty. Sometimes it's super rude and sometimes they're pretty nice. The sign on the door says open mon-Thurs 12-8, with an easy to miss asterisk that is hand written, saying closed Mondays. Meh.

Honey Bubble was one of my go to boba spots when I am downtown but lately I am not sure what happened to the recipe, I usually get the same order but it started having an odd after taste that I am not a fan of. The service is always very good and the orders come out fast. The parking here is an issue if the lot is full I will just go somewhere else, it only has like 6-8 parking spots.

Used to love coming to this bubble tea spot.!. First time back here in a while. Stopped by for a quick grab & go . Parking was plentiful when I came (no one else was there) , but it's a small lot & can be difficult to park when busy..( I've been here plenty of times when busy) .It was pretty empty inside. All of the couches & chairs are gone. Just a few stools now. It used to be soo cozy inside, but I'm sure it may be due to the Covid times. Clean facility. Workers were nice. They had a decent amount of flavors & toppings. They also offer a few baked pastries. Prices have definitely went up.. now costing $7 for a bubble tea. Not including the toppings.. One size option. Ordered a brown sugar bubble tea w/ lychee popping boba. It was good. Not the best I've had, which was my same experience the last few times I've came & tried different drinks. I'd may return if in the area; Wouldn't go out of my way for it though!

The boba I got was so good I loved it so much this place is really amazing and I would definitely recommend

Love the drinks the employees are very nice and friendly and the wait time is never long. We don't have a go to drink we just mix and match every time we go. Always clean which is a huge plus. We haven't been back since the grand reopening hoping to get back there soon.

Something tastes off about this tea. Like almost sour or rancid or something? Not sure if it's in my head but I've gotten Thai tea a bunch in the past and there was an after taste with this one that tasted wrong. The boba was soft but obviously inherited the strange taste of the milk tea. Maybe it's not always this bad but don't wanna return and risk it. Spent almost 9 dollars on this with tip and about to toss it in the trash after a few sips.

I am very particular about my teas and this one wasn't hitting it for me as much _________________________________________________________ PARKING | [When you arrive, this location is in a very small complex with little to no parking. If you can't find parking, you have to park a couple of blocks down and walk to the store where it is located.] _________________________________________________________ EXTERIOR & INTERIOR | [When inputting the address on the GPS, it will take you to the place. The location is near ponce city market. The building is and can be hard to miss because you can't really see the logo outside of the building and its a small store where it is just an in-and-out type situation. Interior of the building, there isn't much of anything but just open space.] _________________________________________________________ IS IT CLEAN? | [For the most part, it was clean at times I have visited] _________________________________________________________ FOOD & DRINKS | [Let's get straight to the point, the drinks were not there. The taste wasn't magnifying, textural, or memorable. I got thai tea and honey tea to try out from the two times I visited and both teas were a little disappointing. It seemed like they focused more on the ice than the drink itself to satisfy their customers.I usually go to the business twice to see if I get different outcomes each time before I review, and the teas where exactly the same outcome each time.] _________________________________________________________ SERVICE ‍‍| [The staff was very nice and knew exactly what they were doing the whole time. Very helpful and friendly.] _________________________________________________________ OVERALL | [While the staff was nice and wonderful, the drinks weren't. It is sad to say that the potential of this place is low because of its location, parking, drinks, and noncreative design. When it comes to a bubble tea place it needs creativity and its own character to its name. This character was not thought out nor was it put to care, other than just opening a business and hope to make green than designing the drink texture]

First time here. The Boba was good! I got the Thai mango with green tea and my mom got the green tea and passionate fruit. Service: was OK. The young guy wasn't really attentive & no enthusiasm at all. And there were 2 other workers there LOUD on their phones. Ambiance: It's cute in there, but it look pretty inside and it was clean. It was just empty (furniture wise) in there. I would probably try that place again, but no rush.

good boba but i got a thai tea and it was awful, it tasted really sour for some reason cute place tho and quick service!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I'm obsessed with the decaf Lavender with coconut milk and boba. The crew is always quick, accurate and very friendly. It looks great inside with the new renovation. I can't find another bubble tea place that compares.

They have a taro brownie (haven't tried it yet) so I had to get it. Lots of boba flavors. The tapioca was a bit hard, wasn't fresh. But the tea itself is good. Would come back, probably earlier in the day when the tapioca is freshly made.

Question: No one will answer phone, does anyone know their holiday hours? Review: I've been coming here since high school (grown ass adult now) and honestly it's just okay. Always dirty and depends on the baristas working. I hardly get boba anymore out of fear it'll be too hard and just stick with aloe topping. It's there when I need a tea spot but not my favorite like some BuHi spots. Favorite orders: green jade smoothie w/ aloe honeydew + papaya w/ soy milk and aloe

i loved the pistachio milk tea! this is my first time trying such a unique flavor of bbt. perfect blend of flavor with coffee jelly!

Love this place but they have been closed. Always pleasant service and gotta have a Taro brownie. Nice ambiance. Anyone know what's happening with their closing or reopening? I need a tea today

Excellent place that I won't stop raving about. Was just here yesterday and back again today. Babe wanted more tea lol. This time was a special treat, since we met the owners. Super awesome people. Thanks for this gem!

Friendly service, cute aesthetic and really good boba! A little pricey but worth it in my opinion

Been waiting to try out this place for a while now! It's super cute and was decorated in a modern style. I was recommended the Royal honey bubble milk tea which is their specialty. It has such a rich taste and I would definitely recommend this to any milk tea lover. The Thai tea was also super rich and flavorful as one would expect. The hibiscus tea was probably my most favorite. It was sweet, light, and refreshing for the hot summer day! I'd recommend this one to anyone. It was fantastic! The only downside I'd say is that there's only one size. Still, it's decently sized and a tad expensive for the boba you can get in this area. There's no indoor seating! It's all takeout!

Spontaneous visit! Atmosphere: Chill and hilarious! If you come by, look at some of the pictures on the wall. We walked out laughing. Even the parking lot notice has a funny sign. I won't spoil it. Bubble Tea: Yeah, this place beats some other spots I've been to for bubble tea. I got the taro - lactaid milk - jasmine green tea base...whoa. My bf got the pistachio. These things were good enough to go into the street and rave to random strangers about. Seriously. I'm definitely trying some of their other teas this summer with my friends. Customer service: the girls who were there at the time were delightful. Very helpful, patient, and QUICK! I couldn't believe how quickly we received our drinks. Very impressed. Will I be back? Definitely! Would I recommend? Yup!

I like the quality of boba tea here. The decor is nice. They have a small parking lot that helps greatly in the downtown Atlanta

I was never really a fan of bubble tea or boba. I despise the tapioca pearls. However through this place I've come to learn that they now offer aloe Vera jelly and that was a game changer for me. This is the first and only place I've been to that offers so many options and flavors for their milk tea and other items. I am sad that they are closed down for renovations. I would take the drive out to the city just to get their tea and relax. Great service! Can't wait until they reopen again.

Returned this week after visiting last summer, and the customer service was meh. The tea was also mediocre this time around, and prices were higher which is understandable. My first time here the staff was helpful and the drinks were delicious, so it was definitely on my list when I got back to Atlanta this summer. Seems to be a bunch of kids working there now, doesn't have the same atmosphere as the last time. I got a royal milk tea with boba. Probably won't be back, I could think of better ways to spend $8. 7 for the drink plus tip. These drinks are from the last time, they weren't available this time. :(

Got their royal milk bubble tea with black tea and bubbles! Super tasty not too sweet. All one sized drinks at $6 a pop but you get a lot for your buck! As a Taiwanese girl I approve! I like how the have other jelly options like mango and coffee which is fun. They offer macaroons and taro brownies as well. Cute spot. Walk in and take out only right now.

This is my all time favorite place to get boba tea anywhere! It's always sweet enough and they have rotating seasonal flavors to look forward to as well. The Mint Chocolate, Pistachio, and Taro are my go to choices. Once my coworkers tried it to see what the fuss was all about, they couldn't get enough (just like me)!

Great bubble tea. My daughter loves it here. Easy parking out front. Nice people behind counter

They might be a good place, but they were really not satisfying for me and I don't anticipate to be walking in there again. I like my tea and my bubble teas with milk. They offer 2 categories: Milk based and clear teas. My favorite fruit is passion fruit, which is in the clear tea category and I asked, if they can add milk to it. (A place in Hapeville has no problem preparing my bubble tea that way). The guy at the register told me 'yes'. Their normal advertised price is $ 6.50. I was charged a base price of $ 7.00, so I assume they added $ 0.50 for the milk. Ok, that's fine. I waited another 10 minutes (after about waiting 15 minutes to get to the ordering stage) and the woman preparing it told me that they couldn't do it. I said 'but all I'm asking is that you add a little milk to it'. Nope, she would not budge. Then I asked for a refund, gave my card and she tried to hand me $ 7.00 cash. I refused and said that I also added 20% tip and paid tax. If I had to wait all of this time for nothing I'd want every penny back. She was getting even more annoyed with me and I had to wait some more until she finally returned everything to my card. Bubble tea was invested in the 1980s in Taiwan, so, it's not as if I'm breaking some 200 year tradition. Also, milk is not an unusual ingredient. It's something they add all day long to different drinks and they have it on hand. It's a liquid, so, it's not as if some ingredient won't mix with it. All they needed to do is mix their clear passion fruit tea, brew it and leave a little space to add milk. It's a cold drink and milk is cold, so, it has no effect on the temperature. This makes absolutely no sense to me and the only reason I can imagine is that the woman was on some power trip and enjoyed turning me down, because I didn't stay exactly in the box that they set. But it's such a trivial request and they agreed and did charge me extra, that I just don't get it.

I passed this place all week on my visit and decided to check it out. Great selection and service! Tea was exactly what I wanted. They do it all by hand so you truly customize your order.

Our all time fav bubble tea shop.. always the best tea with great boba ~ toppings etc. Honey Bubble is awesome!!!

Obsessed and addicted to honey bubble! Make sure to try your fav drink as a slushee... mine is either the royal or Thai tea! You're welcome

Previous rating was 5 stars on Google. However, quality, service, and experience have declined since COVID. Staff always made me a hot lavender milk tea whenever I came in; however, the past 2 times I've gone, staff says they can't. This also used to be my fiance and I's go-to study place, but now Honey Bubble only does to-go orders only.

I tried the salted caramel milk tea and it was actually amazing. Only downfall was that the boba was a lil hard which meant it was either old or not cooked all the way but nevertheless still finished it since I haven't had boba in months and have missed it truly. Will definitely try this place out again and get something different as well

Went on Saturday Afternoon; parking was readily available. Interior was clean, menu had assortment of teas and macarons. Got the lavender green tea with lactaid ($0.75 upcharge) and 25% sugar and boba. Overall, boba tasted soft and well done; however, I didn't care for the lavender flavor; it was reminiscent of a mildly soapy taste. I'm sure their regular teas without added flavoring are probably not bad though.

I was a devote customer from early 2013 until last month, before I moved out of state. The owners and their family are amazing. The fresh made boba is amazing. The quality of all their teas...amazing. I've only run into issues 2-3 times in 10 years, when they ran out of traditional boba for the day (not a bad issue) or their blenders were broken (I preferred the matcha snowcap slushy). I will be back on every visit back to Georgia!

Everything is now on point. I've now tried a few flavors (Thai, Royal, and Taro) and the Taro is currently my favorite.

Pretty excited all the way until I got my bubbletea. The only seating is outside right now, and only a few 2 seater tables. Tasted quite watery, the staff seemed to think making it hot was a foreign concept. It wasnt even that hot when it came out. It also came without bubbles (I ordered milky bubble tea) and it was one of the items included...and the girl made the excuse that when it's made hot they usually don't out bubbles. Finally when I got bubbles added in, they were clumped up and yet undercooked, it was weird. Probably the worst bubbletea experience I've had in a while. Should've stuck with what's on Buhi....

I went out of my comfort zone and tried the pistachio bubble tea and was not disappointed!! They were helpful with all of my questions and I loved my drink. I asked for 75% sweetness and it was perfect. Looking forward to going back!

" I would give it a zero but unfortunately I cannot do that so I give it a one" Do not recommend the royal black milk tea. I can't speak for the other drinks but this was just bad. I asked for less sugar and the tea was extremely sweet. I don't know if they added the wrong milk but the tea had this odd oat/plant after taste that was disappointing. The bubbles were undercooked and not good. Also the only size that was available was a large which is like 7 bucks so I am down 7 dollars now. I am an avid bubble tea drinker and felt sad after drinking. I even gave a 20% tip despite the unresponsive staff and lack of urgency to help any of the customers.

Came here on a busy Friday around rush hour... Needless to say it was pretty busy, but they got my order and it was out relatively quickly so props to them. I ordered a Salted Caramel Milk Bubble Tea with no ice and tapioca pearls, I was actually pleasantly surprised they didnt say anything about no ice as a lot of places (Im looking at you Starbucks) really dont like to give you no ice and sometimes up-charge you for it. I went with a large as the medium looked a little small to my eyes, but to each their own. I would say this bubble tea ranks up there with some of the best I've had, and I consider myself to be a bubble tea snob if Im honest. You could definitely taste the caramel, but the salty part was a little harder to taste with a mix of tapioca/caramel in the same cup. Overall, I enjoyed my bubble tea and will probably be back in the future!

-----ATMOSPHERE------   The inside is a great place to study or work. Some rooms were closed off (maybe because of Covid) but normally they are open. I love the teapot decor. They decorated for Halloween and I love that they do this for each holiday. ------FOOD & DRINKS------ Signature Honey Boba Milk Tea with Boba and Aloe Vera - 7/10. It is not the best boba I have ever had but it is not bad Pomegranate Tea with Boba - 8/10. It is tart and has a nice kick to it Mango Tea with Boba - 6/10. It tasted like apple juice to me. ------PRICE------ All drinks are 6 dollars on the dot and this includes 2 free add-ins. WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! For the cafe if I had to get work done or hang with friends but would get boba from somewhere else.

The rouibos milk tea tasted like sugar water and had no aroma. Tapioca was either undercooked or old, too tough that it was inedible. When I have a boba drink that isn't good, I normally give the shop a second chance and try out different tea with different configuration. But, this place did not make me want to try again because I couldn't see its potential.

Customer service: 3 stars: I told the Asian young lady several times heavy ice in the thai tea, lots of ice in the thai tea, extra ice in the thai iced tea. Get the drink...... literally 6 pebbles of ice in some room temperature tea. The african american young lady quickly resolved my issue and apologized. Price point: 4 stars: its all a flat rate of $5 for 1 standard size.. once you start adding stuff the price goes up. Cleanliness: 4 stars: no real gripes besides they could have a better system on getting ice vs sticking their hand into the bin with an ice shovel. Parking: 0 stars: A real pain getting in and out! Overall.... I would come back if I was in the area and wanted a thai tea.

I've been really loving a good boba tea lately and I've wanted to try out this location for so long. It was definitely worth the wait. I can't wait until quarantine is over because this inside is definitely a mood. It's beautiful, it's calming, it's artistic and so damn cute! The inside alone is amazing. The Thai tea I got was just the icing on top. It's delicious! I couldn't be happier with my experience. I can't wait to come and try out more flavors.

TRUE RATING: 3.5 but I did not want to ding them a whole star because sometimes its REALLY good. But most times, it's just okay. I've been here over 30 times, so I feel like I can give an honest review. It's the closet Boba place to me, and it helps satisfy the "boba gap" between downtown & chamblee. Drinks: Coffee Milk Tea 7/10 Coffee & Caramel Milk Tea 8/10 Signature Royal Milk Tea (8/10) These are depending on who makes it, I've had times where it taste like water, and they happily remade my drink. Boba: 6/10 NOW i've definitely had their boba when it is a 10/10 but I can count that experience on a few fingers. Generally the boba is bad, but it's not particularly good. I've never had an issue with the texture, but it's a matter of sweetness. Most times it's barely sweet and other times it generally lacks taste at all. I just wish there would be some consistency with this because I would then give them 5/5.

Their Thai Milk Tea is great! The cafe is centrally located about 1 light away from Ponce City Market. We visited during the chaos of the coronavirus so they only allowed to-go orders but the cafe looked so cute. They had plenty of seating areas, high ceilings, cute decor, and parking in the front and back of the cafe. The staff was very nice and allowed us to sample the Thai Milk Tea. Their teas are only offered in one size (which is probably a Medium at other cafes). The Thai Milk Tea + Boba (tapioca pearls) was $5 which was pretty good. I'd come back.

Feeling like some bubble tea today. After driving around town wanting some breakfast food. I decided to just get myself some tea and call it an early day. Saw this cute tucked away in a corner spot some time ago and decided to give it at try. Let me warm you if other Yelpers haven't done so. The parking here is horrific. Like I said before the building is literally in a corner. And if I can guess it's only about....Mmmmm!!! Maybe 8 or 9 parking spots in front. Now the space is shared with a Chinese restaurant next door. But the place don't look like it's open at all (deserted). I looked on the trusty ole Yelp app to make sure before I parked over I the restaurant lot. But the app didn't say it was closed down. So I parked anyway considering I was just getting my orders Togo. Coming in to Honey Bubble you fine yourself looking at a wall full of info about Bubble tea and the owner. The decor is modern which I TRULY LOVE. I was welcomed by a cute young lady that seemed eagered to help. Looking around the small space there where customers with laptops and reading books. This is the place for that. And also they have another space towards the back with couches and a table for a more private study area. Now! Getting back to the tea. Honey Bubble offer two item samples. Which is the royal honey tea and the Jasmine Thai tea. Both was pretty good. I chose the royal honey and the royal honey with Matcha. They wasn't to sweet like other places I've been too. But I which they did have a sweet level and more ice. I'm still learning this Bubble Tea thing. So I can't really say how authentic it is. But for my liking it okay. And I will be back to try other flavors.

Staff was very friendly and efficient. The inside is aesthetic and clean. Boba tasted fresh and was super affordable. I will be back soon! Thank you so much!

If you want to go and get bubble tea with your bros from the neighbourhood, you should instead go to "Homey Bubble." And if you want to go to a Disney-like tea shop with really cliché crap, try "Hokey Bubble." Whereas if you are looking to get laid rather than get tea, try "Horny Bubble." What to get: Brown Sugar Milk Tea What not to get: Anything from the Horse Trough Horse Trough???!: Oh wait, no that's at "Horsey Bubble." This place is massively overpriced, and seems like it's going to suck. The first time I got tea here I thought it was excellent. Maybe my tastes changed in the 6 months in between, or maybe the standards went down, but I'm not digging it anymore. It doesn't seem very East Asian, and a lot of the signs on the wall are extremely patronizing to anyone that has ever had a bubble tea before. "What is Boba?." It seems to be a place geared towards people that don't drink a lot of Bubble Tea and haven't been to Taiwan or East Asia - and definitely aren't from there or descended from people who were. If you can get past the prices, which are ridiculous, the Bubble Tea is pretty decent. The service on the other hand, can be awful, especially if you come in during the last 30 mins or so before it closes (because people want to go home). But the Brown Sugar products are pretty good. Far from the best I've had. It's also a great place to meet girls - there were some spectacular looking people in here when I was here. It must be near a party district or something (I mean, I know it is, but you can tell by the clientele). Girls like Bubble Tea, and I like girls. I wonder if that's why I like Bubble Tea? The Brown Sugar (which is actually regular or Royal milk tea) was excellent the first time, and just okay the second time, whereas the Lemon Tea was just okay. My first visit was friendlier in terms of service, but I noticed the male employees spend their entire time gawking at the pretty girl customers (including the person I came here with, but I don't blame them). Another problem with the second visit was that the boba (tapioca) was hard, chewy, and tasteless. I was quite disappointed. I'm not sure if I'll give it a third try, but based on the excellent first visit, I shall have to. And if you need some cuddles, go to "Huggy Bubble." And if you just pooped your pants from too much alcohol, go to "Huggies Bubble." And if you only have 2 mins to drink your tea, go to "Hurry Bubble." And if you're looking to find a man to marry, go to "Hubby Bubble." And if you are still horny, try "Humpme Bubble."

My friend and I came here on a rainy evening on sleepy Sunday. There were about 8 people in the shop when we arrived. She ordered the Honey Jasmine Tea and I ordered their signature Royal Milk Honey Bubble Tea with boba and aloe vera jelly. Their tea is a perfect amount of sweet infused with the delicious flavors of tea. Their boba was chewy as well as having a good bite to it. Their atmosphere is calming and artsy chic with 6 tables a couple comfy-looking sofas. Their bathrooms are well-kept and clean. I look forward to my next visit with anticipation.

I was hoping a bit more due to the high reviews but it was alright. The flavors was alright. The boba wasn't soaked in honey as much as I would have liked.
