Whether you are craving boba on a budget or if you just feel like rewarding yourself with a cold treat, Rampage has you covered. Based on our experience, here are the top three boba places for you to get some quality bubble tea at three different price points.
Quickly is a classic boba place where people can get drinks at a very inexpensive price. The drinks are usually sweeter than most boba places, so unless you enjoy sweet drinks, lowering the sweetness of your order is recommended. The quality of their toppings tend to fluctuate, as sometimes the boba is nice and chewy, while on other occasions, the boba is hard. However, with drinks that are usually less than $4, Quickly is hard to beat in terms of prices.
With hundreds of locations across the nation, the nearest Quickly is on 9445 Las Tunas Dr. For those who can’t drive, Quickly will deliver orders over $20 to anywhere in Temple City, free of charge. If you can’t go off-campus during lunch, then Quickly is a potential spot for you to grab some food and boba!
While Tea Station is a little pricier in comparison to Quickly, the quality of the tea is an improvement and the menu has greater variety. They have several drinks with boba that you can choose from, and a wide assortment of appetizers available so you can have something to snack on as you enjoy your boba. The drinks are relatively enjoyable if you prefer a stronger tea flavor and boba that is more firm than chewy. Their drinks typically range from about $4-$6 and are usually made quickly.
The nearest Tea Station is close to the Temple City Park at 9578 Las Tunas Dr. Personal preferences aside, Tea Station’s boba is still a delicious treat.
Dingle Berries Coffee & Tea adds a spin to the boba game with their unique drinks and equally unique names. Their drinks have a different variety than that of the conventional boba joint and different toppings such as mango, peach chunks and coffee jelly. Some of the top sellers include Son of a Peach, Rosemead and There’s Something About Mango. In addition, they also have foods like deep fried peanut butter and jelly and grilled mac and cheese sandwiches. Prices range from $4-$9.
One thing that Dingle Berries does for their first-time customers is giving out small samples of all their drinks in a specific order that enhances the flavors. The experience feels inviting and the aesthetic of their shop is warm and homey, to which the friendly staff also contribute.
This small shop is located at 9711 Valley Blvd., Ste. A, and enjoying a drink with friends at Dingle Berries is a must-try experience.
