Top 5 Bubble Tea Near Denver, CO

1) Snowl

Our Review of Snowl in Denver, CO

Upon every visit to Snowl, I’ve made a point to try something new, the Chocolate Taiyaki and Boba having been my mainstays for the longest time. My recent switch up involved some delightful new treats on their menu, adding a fresh new twist to each visit.

One thing that’s distinctly stands out at Snowl is their servings. Ah, let’s talk about the Matcha Bingsu! The portion is Herculean, easily enough for a group of four looking for a satiating dessert after a hefty meal – you may need just about 2 or 3 people to finish it if you’d skipped meals.

On a hot Saturday afternoon around 6pm, with the temperature soaring to a sweltering 85°, I decided to stop by and cool off. The place had a reasonable buzz, indicative of its popularity, but was not too busy as to feel overbearing. This balance made the experience rather enjoyable.

Overall, whether you’re a bubble tea connoisseur or just someone looking to beat the heat, Snowl offers a unique adventure for your taste buds with its diverse beverage offerings and surprisngly large servings.

2) Lollicup

Our Review of Lollicup in Denver, CO

Stepping into this bubble tea heaven, it immediately struck me why it’s been a continual favourite amongst many. Their alternative dairy options are a breath of fresh air for those seeking to switch up the traditional milk tea experience. Having been a devoted patron for years, the consistency of their delicious flavours remains unchallenged.

One of the star attractions here, which I personally cannot get enough of, is their Mango Snow Boba. It’s the perfect antidote on a scorching day, a cool refreshing drink that will leave you utterly hooked. The blend of vibrant mango and the chewy delight of boba creates an irresistible harmony.

Not to forget their speedy service, sprightly staff and a smorgasbord of flavor possibilities that make each visit a new adventure. One of their standout items for me was the Okinawa Milk Tea Snow. This fusion of classic milk tea with the uniqueness of Okinawa sugar is a testament to their innovation, making each sip a delightful surprise.

In my opinion, this bubble tea spot is truly the epitome of boba joy, serving up cups full of love, flavor and cheer. A must-visit for both bubble tea aficionados and novices alike. I wholeheartedly agree with many longtime fans that this place is an all-time favourite.

3) Tea Cloud

Our Review of Tea Cloud in Denver, CO

Well, stepping into the bubble tea scene of downtown Denver was intriguing, to say the least. The bubbling world of boba, where drinks flow like liquid poetry, has been given a fresh spin by the quaint spot – Tea Cloud. This wasn’t just another run-of-the-mill boba place – I much appreciated how they let you sample the drink before diving into the whole glass. A rather nice touch, don’t you think?

One thing that caught my fancy was their Sunshine Paradise, a delightful mingling of peach and mango, stirred into a green tea base. Simply divine! A word of advice, though: consider opting for it at 25% sweetness. Trust me, it’s just enough to tantalise the taste buds without overpowering the refreshingly subtle fruit flavours.

Interestingly, even though Denver isn’t exactly the Boba capital like the Bay Area California, Tea Cloud gives competition a run for their money with their quality boba. They proved capable of handling a volume order (16, in my case) without compromising on the taste or the quality – a feat many places struggle with.

And let’s talk prices – I found them to be reasonable considering the quality and the location. Ah, the sweet (or 25% sweet) taste of value for money!

In conclusion, for those days when your hearts yearn for a good boba, and your pockets aren’t feeling too heavy, Tea Cloud provides the silver lining. A truly cheerful spot in downtown Denver that makes bubble tea worth the adventure, one sip at a time.

5) Tbaar

Our Review of Tbaar in Denver, CO

Stepping into this bubble tea spot, you’re first met with an inviting, friendly staff, who are always eager to guide you through your order. Quickly, you’re certain to be impressed by the culinary crossover – I was personally taken aback by the delicious popcorn chicken. With its perfect level of spice, this medium ordered delight adds a savoury spin to your bubble tea run.

The tea selection here is quite commendable with various flavors to cater to all taste buds. The wintermelon tea, in particular, stood out for me. It’s yummy, refreshing, and an absolute delight to sip on! It’s quite evident that the tea here tastes like freshly brewed concoctions rather than the typical instant powders used by most bubble tea spots.

And let’s not forget the star of the show – the boba! The pearls are consistently the perfect texture, achieving the ideal balance between chewiness and softness. This attribute truly sets this place apart from other boba offerings in the area.

However, don’t get your hopes up for a dine-in experience as this spot is specifically designed for takeaway orders. A minor inconvenience, which may require you to enjoy your order in your car or at a nearby park. But trust me, the quality of the bubble tea makes up for any missing ambiance.

Of course, a trip wouldn’t be complete without trying the bubble waffles. While they didn’t have them on my visit, other tea enthusiasts have found these to be a delightful accompaniment to their drink.

Overall, this particular bubble tea location stands out in the southeast Denver boba scene, combining friendly service, delicious snacks, and quality bubble teas, all in a to-go setting. Make sure to stop by and experience it for yourself.
