I really love Bubble Nation, I have to shop here every week ( I tried my best not to come here every day haha) Bubble Nation is my favorite bubble tea store and here is why: their stuff is really friendly, give me discount once I dont have enough cash.! They make your tea behind a clear glass where you can see it, is totally trustworthy! Also I heard their tea recipe from Taiwan, and is freshly brewed, it tastes totally different and definitely better than other milk powder milk tea store:)

Okay so I love the bubble tea here its 5 stars for that. However, be warned! ORDER ONLINE. If you dont, you will have to shout your order across the room, as well as your credit card number and details. Yes they have a square machine but its not anywhere close to the door so you cant just tap your card/phone. This is not a quick process obviously. And they will prioritize online orders over you. The other thing is - they wouldnt let me add milk to a regular tea (I ordered a rose tea, asked for milk in it, and they said I couldnt have that. Why not?). Like I guess you can reduce customization for online orders to make it easier, but I ordered in person. The 3 stars is mainly for the ordering process.

I like the cozy environment, friendly cashier, and of course the taste of the drink is great. Definitely recommend this.

Ordering online is easy and always ready on time. My family loves this place.

Not sure if reviewers that left 5 star ratings ever had authentic, fresh boba tea before but this place is not it. They used powder to make our boba tea instead of fresh ingredients and price didn’t match the quality.

My favorite boba place around!! Everyone there is super friendly and always has a smile on their face when I pick up my order. All their teas taste fresh and are delicious. Ordering online is also easy, and the wait times are reasonable. 10/10 recommend checking them out!! :)

Great boba milk tea! Excellent boba, well balanced. Soft + chewy.Tea flavor taste like made with real tea leaves and not overly sweet (when ordering regular sugar).

I love the bubble tea with brown sugar here

Thai ice tea. Delicious tea that wasn’t too sweet and great boba. Friendly staff, quick service, and free 15min parking outside the store.Only downside was the price. I’m sure it’s based off the area but $5.88 for a drink is starting to price me out of the market. It’s not only them, but it would also be nice if they offered a more sustainable straw/lid/cup option.

Best Boba place in Arlington hands down. Come here if you want some classic Boba. It’s a small place and right now they ask you to order online prior to arrival. Hopefully they open up fully soon.

I was really quite impressed how minimalistic the place was. The staff had smiles on there faces right when I walked in and greeted me with a warm hello. Very pleased with that. Made my day better.The tea was really really good. I had a Oolong Bubble foam top tea. Very fresh and the bubble soft.The Price value for the experience is well worth it.My girlfriend and I will be going again.

Very friendly staff. Tea tastes so refreshing and a few varieties to chose from. Bright uncluttered store. My kids love the bubbles and the heart shaped toppings.

Delicious drinks. Experiment with new and awesome flavors.

Afternoon routine.

Best hot chocolate in Arlington. I also love their taro tea.

Nice little shop in Arlington. Takes grub hub and ordering process is easy. Tea taste like it should!

Sorry but if you ask me to order online when I walk in the door and am standing right in front of you, I’ll take my business elsewhere. No matter how good you may be.

Opened and its great Bubble Tea. Quality ingredients and not too sweet. Fizzy drinks and local pastries (if bubble tea is not enough for dessert).

This place has good bubble tea. Just be aware that you have to order online before getting the bubble tea. This review was written during covid19.

Good bubble tea, but be warned: they wont take cash, you have to order ahead and pay with a credit card. So no impulse purchases, and dont send your teens unless they have a card with them!

Hello! The bubble tea is amazing! I recommend trying mango slushee with strawberry boba! I did give it 4 stars though because during COVID-19 the website was confusing, it didn’t tell me if I could only order online or if I could come and pay with cash. Thank you!!

Friendly staff, fresh boba and jelly, excellent quality teas, and they are on top of their ordering system! My orders are always prompt and ready.

The perfect balance and perfect tapiocas. The flavor and texture is just right. I dont feel like Im drinking diabetes. Thanks

Great tea & service!

Great local business. Try The Signature.

Delicious! We stopped by on Saturday night and were lucky enough to meet the owner- very friendly and knowledgeable. Clean, beautiful space with great ingredients and menu. I got a classic milk tea and my husband got an Earl Grey tea with lychee on the owners recommendation, a combo we never would have considered, and it was one of the tastiest things weve tried. Will definitely be back!

I wish it is better. Their cold milk tea with bubbles is ok. Tea flavor is kind of weak. My son got the strawberry slush and it tastes nothing like strawberry. It tastes like rose flavor slush and he couldnt drink it. Mango slushy was better but still it doesnt taste like fresh fruit.

Went there a few times already just LOVE it! the bubbles are chewy and you could adjust the sweetness level. The drink tastes natural and in a healthy way.Highly recommend!

The staff is very friendly and the teas/drinks are really good. My girlfriend and I usually go to Kungfu but this is definitely worth the trip. The sparkling sodas are awesome. Definitely my go to spot when Im in the area now.

The signature drink was interesting. Their peach slush is delicious. Nice clean and friendly place! Looks new and modern.

The best bubble tea place you will ever encounter.

This is a whole nother level ⭐🥂 The classic is so good its hard to try new things. but the variety of teas, topping, style are so satisfying. The specialty drinks are like choice bubble tea cocktails. Tried Taro Milk Tea and White Bubbles ❄️🍵. They really went for quality.

Well the rating refects how bad the taste is. Ordered original versions but surprisingly it tasted like taro milk tea, with unnatural taro taste. I like taro but it is not taro milk tea. So to be honest, if they cannot make milk tea right then any other flavor wont be right.(Comment coming from a milk tea enthusiast. Im kind of person who go straight to milk place when travelling)

Great little spot. There are a few stool seats. Delicious bubble tea and they have waffles and cupcakes.

Great bubble tea! So glad this place is in the neighborhood. Great non-dairy dessert alternative. Love the sparkle drinks.

Awesome bubble tea place in Arlington center ^^ I dont need to travel to Davis Sq every time I want bubble tea now! Its so convenient :)

Love this nice bubble tea place. Quality ingredients. Its delicious, not just sweet like most of the bubble tea place in Boston area.

It’s my 2nd or 3rd time coming to this bubble tea store. It’s definately much better than most bubble tea chains in great Boston area. It tastes much more natural. Their staffs there are always nice and friendly. Will definitely come again.

Clean and bright. Good workers. I got the milk tea and I didn’t like it and that is because I don’t like Chai tea. Very similar to Chai Tea and with little jelly balls at the bottom which I don’t like. Personally, I don’t like the drinks but that is also because I don’t like tea. This is a really good place.

Very very watered down the last couple times we went, was good the first few time but inconsistent now. Asked for light ice so I saw her put water in it to fill up, it tasted like slightly flavored water. Waste of $ and is bad to rip customers off like that. Service was unfriendly this time around as well sadly, won’t be back not for watered down bubble tea.

I went in on a whim while walking through the neighborhood. Probably the best milk tea Ive ever had! I will be back especially when the weather is warm.

I ordered Hot tea~ But they made Cold tea~ But I dont care~. Cos Taste was so Cool~!

Super fresh flavors, friendly staff, always delicious. Arlington is so lucky to have this place!

The employees are SUPER nice and the store is cute. Really good tea and a great price for a big size

Delicious bubble tea ! Lots of flavor and topping choices.

Authentic bubble tea! Best Ive found so far!

FINALLY someone opened a bubble tea shop in the Arlington area and theyre really good too! Clean facility and simple menu which is all you need. Tapioca cooked perfectly. Ive had a lot of bubble tea in my life and can say that the drinks here are all fresh and not super powdery/sugary/artificial like a lot of other places. Red bean topping is good too. Highly recommend the barista(?) Drink which is matcha slush with red bean. I dont usually like matcha/red bean drinks at other shops so that says a lot. In sum Im pleasantly surprised and very happy that I can get my bubble tea fix without having to drive outside of the neighborhood.

Friendly place, excellent bubble tea, not too sweet!

Nice new spot with great bubble tea. Lots of options to choose from.

Great drinks and service in a convenient location. A welcome addition to the neighborhood.

The manager here is so bad.I dont want go drink anything there anymore.

There cups are so cute and the bubble’s are perfectly chewy!!

Good but expensive tea.

Excellent flavor and vegan milk options

This place is a great addition to the neighborhood!

Always amazing and they are pet friendly!

Really good bubble tea!!

Nice tea!

So~ good!!

Delicious!
