"The branding at this downtown boba shop might be just as good as the actual boba itself — you’ll know you’ve found the right spot by the fiery kitsune adorning the entrance. The boba pearls here are made from scratch and their tea concoctions use very precise measurements, so, unlike other shops, the Boba Bar doesn’t readily offer customizable ice and sugar levels. (If you ask, they’ll do their best to accommodate you.) The brown sugar and Korean strawberry milk bobas are some of the shop’s most popular flavors, but its new Chè Thai made with coconut-flavored milk and lychee is also a standout." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

Boba bar is some of, if not, the best boba in town! Great location, and super delicious drinks. I’ve seen them making the boba while I’m waiting for my drink, so you know it’s super fresh. Love grabbing a drink then heading to the library just across the street!

My kids wanted boba in the worst way so we walked to this location as it was the closest to the food assembly hall. It’s a small shop, but was quiet, clean, and had AC. We tried the jasmine milk tea with boba, mango milk tea with boba, and strawberry matcha. We all enjoyed our drinks and thought it was the perfect sweetness, not overly sweet. The staff was friendly and we got our order quickly. There was a nice variety of drink and topping options! I def recommend people trying this place out.

It's very cute store and friendly customer service, local owed. Drinks are delicious, daily handmade bobas. I love their cups, cool design. My favorite drink is brown sugar boba, but I also had taro, macha, and Korean Strawberry, they are good too. It's right in the heart of Nashville. We walked around taking pictures after we got our drinks. Check them out! ❤

I've been going to this Boba place for a few months now with coworkers. I love getting Boba here because the team at Boba bar is consistently dedicated to fresh ingredients, quality taste, and consistent service. They're always ready to answer any questions about flavors, topping inventory and what makes one jelly different from another. I also really love that they have an oat milk options for their milk teas! The team is so considerate when taking down names for orders, and even if it takes a minute or two longer than some of the chain Boba places, I know it's because the ingredients are fresh and they make sure that each drink is made with care! Seriously, you can't go wrong with a place that makes their own Boba pearls! Seriously, if you love quality Boba tea this is the place to go Nashville!

Great selections of drinks and very authentic flavors. They make their boba in house and it is delicious! I got the kitsune drink which was a peach oolong tea with basil seed, mango, and strawberry and it was so refreshing! The winter melon tea was also very good!! No free parking nearby though since it is downtown.

This place is really good! The homemade boba is delicious, the menu has a large selection, and the tea is flavorful. We tried four drinks and they were all great. Staff is very friendly too! You can tell that they put a lot of thought into designing their drinks. Highly recommend trying it out 😊

Our whole family loves bubble tea. We were so excited to try this place out since we heard good things from friends. I would say the flavor is good. Not the best I’ve had, but definitely the best in terms of taste in Nashville. However, I would never go back again. We bought three no ice bubble tea. One of them was shown in the pictures, which was only 70% or less full. When I asked was it normal to be not a full cup? One of the employees who made the drinks said that’s the ice space and it’s normal. I didn’t say much back and just left with a bitter taste in my mouth. I have been to “millions” bubble tea places across the US. There has never been one place gave me a no-ice bubble tea left the ice space out! Being stingy never flies…

The most disappointing boba tea, I left feeling ripped off.Limited topping selection, the slushy I got was bland and lacked the rich flavors I expected. The tapioca pearls were overcooked and mushy, rather than the chewy texture that makes boba enjoyable. For the price, I anticipated something special, but it tasted more like sugary water than a thoughtfully crafted drink. The atmosphere was nice tho.

Fresh, made from scratch teas and tapioca pearls make The Boba Bar stand out. Boba has started appearing all over, but so many places are doing the syrup-based flavors. Not here. You can watch as your fresh ingredients are added, stirred, and served. The results? Delicious flavors and no sugar crash. The staff answered my questions with transparency and was helpful, and the biba was ready quickly. It's a relatively small space, yet not crowded because they pack the boba with both a seal and a lid for enjoyment on the go. I highly recommend the matcha latte boba. I had it with oat milk and loved the creamy, rich matcha flavor. The boba pearls are fantastically consistent. I look forward to trying more flavors soon.

I did a lot of research about the best boba in Nashville and this place ranked very high. The Boba Bar is right across from the library, so I parked there and it was a short walk up the hill to the shop. Because they've perfected their recipes, they don't allow for substitutions or adjustments like ice level or sugar level. That was ok for me - and I must say I think their ice to drink ratio was spot on. I kind of wanted to try something different because Thai Tea is always my default so I asked the guy working there what he recommended and he wasn't especially helpful. He just responded "depends on what you like" so I asked his favorite and he just said the milk teas are most popular. So I just went with my usual. Having tried a lot of bubble tea by this point, I thought this spot was very much like almost any other tea place I've been to. My drink was good. I was not wowed but I left satisfied. Maybe it was too hyped online, but I think Tiger Sugar and Kung Fu Tea are better.

One of the best boba spots in Nashville! The boba pearls are always fresh and chewy, and the service is always timely. The Korean Strawberry Milk Tea with boba is one of the most unique and delicious drinks with fresh strawberries that really elevate the flavors. Located downtown near the library with a public parking garage!

Came here 3 times while attending a real estate seminar and tried a few different drinks. Overall pretty good. The Taro boba didn't seem very natural but wasn't terrible. The brown sugar boba tasted really good but didn't have any tea which was disappointing. I think it's a great grab and go that won't disappoint your taste buds but it definitely won't be your new favorite authentic boba spot.

Yelp
Nice to have a quality boba spot downtown! Staff was friendly, drinks came out fast, & the quality of the tea & boba was solid. I felt the sweetness of the tea was more subtle than many of the competitors out there, but I actually liked it that way. Some bbt out there is way too sweet. Tapioca was perfect, not too firm & not too soft. It was perfectly chewy with a hint of sweetness. Only downside is parking of course. Yin Yang Tea in Germantown has been my go too, but I may have to frequent The Boba Bar more often!

The drinks were good and they have lots of vegan options including vegan boba! Definitely looking forward to trying more things on the menu. The staff is also helpful and friendly

I iust moved here from San Francisco where we have the best boba shops available to us left and right. I came here because of the reviews and ordered a Lychee Rose tea with boba. The boba is mediocre. It is not chewy and flavorful like boba from any of the great places I'm used to ordering from! The drink itself was good, I'm just bummed that I still haven't found a shop that makes me feel like I'm home. Also the customer service was probably 5/10.

WOW! The Boba Bar is an amazing, customer-friendly boba shop that caters to your needs. I ordered a Vietnamese yogurt slush with pearls ($7). Being in the city, I expect the price to be a little higher than other boba shops. This one is truly impressive because they make their own boba in-house! This boba is unlike any that I have ever had. The texture and the flavor are so good, making it seem like all the boba that you've had in the past were mediocre. The flavor of my drink was as expected, but it's still really good. The shop is also good for customers who have never had boba before because it has tips on what to order like ordering as is instead of adjusting ice and sweetness. The staff is also happy to take any questions too! Overall, a fantastic boba shop. Will definitely come back if I'm ever in Nashville again!

Very good Boba with lots of options for tea. Tried the seasonal mango chili tea tlwhich was delicious. They also have a lactaid option for their milk tea.

This is a really popular spot in the Nashville downtown area! Expect a wait during peak/rush hours. The ambiance of this place is cute and cozy. You won't be able to sit inside; so I'd say this is more of a to-go place. We ordered the brown sugar milk tea with boba. Approximately $13 for two teas. The tea and the boba are about average. They have a variety of flavours available which is nice. Their crème brûlée topping is something really popular. I give this place 4 stars because this is the best bubble tea I have had in the city and I have tried almost every other place that there is.

I ordered the Taro drink and... it was quite powdery in the texture. The folks are nice, but lack quite a bit of energy and I will say it's a nice place but I really want to focus on the drink. There are a lot of powder mixes, front and center. It doesn't feel like a premium boba drink because of this powder that is mixed in. Aside, the Tapioca Boba itself, pretty good. Good chew and flavor.

Best boba in downtown. Fresh tasting ingredients. Cute stickers and cups for sale. There's always music playing in the background from a cute speaker. Cute season drinks. The workers are super kind. They'll remember regulars and are very sweet. Definitely buy boba here (especially over boba in assembly food hall).

Ordered 6 drinks online, personally got the lychee yakult with boba, basil seeds, and mango. No mango though and was refunded that topping's price. There was no tea flavor, just yakult, which was disappointing. Boba was good, as they're made fresh and not with artificial black coloring, so I definitely appreciated that. Could've been cooked slightly less probably with a bit more chew, but it was decent as is. Basil seeds were a nice addition. Just really wish I could taste the tea and not just yakult, sigh. I thought the tea would be strong since it's earl grey tea, but nope. My drink came in a bag, as did a friend's. I put it into my backpack and because it was in a bag, I guess the bag somehow got opened and the entire contents of the drink went into my bag, yikes. Sigh, one drink wasted and my bag became all sticky and wet. Why do they use bags for their drinks anyway?! Kind of strange. But anyway, not my choice of boba in the city, and the drinks are expensive.

Californian with unlimited choices of boba places in Cali. We were visiting Nashville for the weekend to celebrate a friend's birthday. Was craving boba and surprised to see a few boba places. This place was within walking distance about .4 miles from downtown restaurants. Look like a recently opened place. The drinks were very good and boba were perfectly chewy. Surprised find that satisfied our boba craving.

The atmosphere had a nice and relaxing vibe, workers friendly & helpful and the drinks were great. We got the strawberry matcha which they use a fresh strawberry base for. It was good, but it definitely had a very subtle taste. We also got the Vietnamese Coffee with boba. The coffee was definitely strong and forward, and the boba was a great addition as it complemented the strength of the coffee and helped ease out the boldness. Lastly the Lychee Jaskult specialty drink was definitely the favorite. It was very refreshing and overall tasty; not too sweet. Would definitely love to come back and try their other flavors.

Literally the best boba place ever. I've been to many in my lifetimes and I wish I could come here everyday. The prices also aren't too bad considering the boba is the best boba I've ever had. And the flavors are so unique and delicious! Definitely recommend.

Thai tea with fresh made boba was good. .

Love the Boba Bar! Always wanted to try the trending Korean fresh strawberry milk you see on TikTok or Instagram w/o going to Cali or GA, they made it happen. Tried the potted plant drink of the month for January. Both drinks were delicious the boba was soft and chewy because of how fresh it was. Late post visited Sunday & then again on Tuesday just to get the potted plant drink for the last time for the month. Parking is a challenge to find free spot, whenever your downtown so be prepared to walk. On a positive note they have 2 new featured drinks for the month every month & I'm already planning my next trip . They also offer a stamp card for free 11th drink.

This place was clean and the staff was friendly. I am not a huge milk drinker so I wanted a tea. I ordered the kitsune, the tea flavor was pretty muted. The fruit used was fresh. I would try this place again, but order something different.

Great atmosphere and the 2 owners are wonderful entrepreneurs who made the experience very easy and enjoyable. Thai Tea with coffee jelly was excellent! Anytime I'm around downtown Nashville I'll make it a point to visit this local business!

Just stopped by The Boba Bar for the first time and I am blown away by the quality and flavor of the drinks! Nashville has needed something like this and now we have it. I will be back often!

My husband went to get me boba from this place I searched for on Google because I was in DESPERATE need of boba. Loved it and my toddler loved it too which it ended it being hers lol. We tried the Thai tea and the matcha and it was amazing. 10/10 would recommend. Would love it if they made a ice blended version of their drinks

A cute shop with great drinks! I got a Thai tea with boba and it was delicious! Would definitely visit this shop frequently if I lived here.

This was located in our hotel building and very convenient. Turned out to be really good. I'm from San Francisco where there is boba in abundance, so I know good boba when I get it and this was good. They will vary the sweetness on request. One could observe the boba being made. It was really fresh! Service was friendly and I was remembered after one visit. I'm not expecting to return to Nashville on business again, but if I do and I feel a hankering for boba, this is the first place I'll go.

The food, the service, the ambiance, made the entire experience amazing whilst drinking boba with my friends. The coziness of the Boba bar was immaculate.

OMG the boba is good asf. It makes me wanna combust. The thai tea is one of my favorites because there's still an herbal essence but it doesn't take away from the sweetness. I definitely recommend. not only is the boba good but so it the staff.
