You can find me with boba in hand at least once a week. Even though I can make it at home, even though I don’t really need to go out there and buy boba- I will always find an excuse to get some. It might be because boba is comforting and reminds me of good memories with my best friend or because it’s an affordable fun treat. Either way, I’m glad to see that San Antonio has grown their selection of bubble tea spots.

I’ve gotten my order to be really specific so please consider that with my recommendations. I only order two flavors with specific toppings and occasional variations. The first order is Milk Tea with Boba and Egg Pudding (if they have it) at 50% sweetness. The second order is Mango Slush (smoothie) with Crystal Boba and Rainbow Jelly (If they have it). In my opinion, getting the same things makes it easier to compare to other locations.

Medical Center

Artea

When my dog and I wanna go somewhere but not really we head to Artea. I dunno it’s the perfect shop to get to while cruising the streets and they have the most delicious honey bacon glazed chicken bites that are worth getting alone. If that hasn’t convinced you, dunno what will.

The Crepe Addiction

I really like the milk tea here it’s so rich plus they have plenty of savory and sweet crepes to choose from. Not a fan of crepes? They have a great selection of street foods too!

5222 De Zavala Rd Ste 328

Suck It

Another one of the OG spots in San Antonio. They used to have over-the-top presentations of drinks but I’m not sure if they still do. Another restaurant duo; they carry ramen, sushi and other goodies. Definitely good food!

Tea Time

I love book shopping and after I always find an excuse to drink boba. This is my perfect afternoon.

11255 Huebner Rd, Suite #108 San Antonio, TX 78230

Alien Cafe

Is this a smoke shop, yes. But it’s also a fast-casual restaurant with boba. The foods good, the boba is too but the toppings are limited.

6565 Babcock Rd #23

Hellabubble

They have tiny boba. Like mini boba! Plus, they have a great selection of predetermined drinks. That’s to say a set menu and it’s actually really cool and interesting to try them all.

12730 W I-10 Suite 303

Presotea Boba

Is this the second option for boba after books, yes! Am I here after REI, yes. Am I here period, also yes. Presotea has a great selection of boba, toppings, AND snacks.

Central San Antonio Boba

Lustea

It’s in the name, but Lustea has a great selection of teas. I know I usually push the milk tea or the mango but here’s where I cheat and try something different.

602 Northwest Loop 410 #130

Boba Tea Garden

Boba Tea Garden is slowly becoming one of my favorite spots in the city to hit up. Their milk tea is delicious. It’s creamy and has melted ice cream vibes. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s in a Vietnamese restaurant. Great selection of toppings and really good food. Vegetarian friendly.

8333 Culebra Rd #204A

Poke-Yi

Anyone here go to Ingram Park Mall? I mean if you’re ever in the area there’s a hidden poke shop with a great selection of boba.

6301 NW Loop 410 Ste E01

Bobalicious- og spot

The real ones know. You remember when it was an experience to get boba because this was the only spot in all of San Antonio. For me, it was my first experience with the drink, and look at me now.

4907 NW Loop 410 #103

Westside of San Antonio Boba

Ding Tea

All I have to say is that they have a drive-through, egg pudding and rainbow jelly.

8027 W Loop 1604 N Suite 104

Southside San Antonio Boba

Boba Tea

If you’re on the southside of San Antonio and wondering if there’s boba by you? Yes! There are two locations. Boba Tea is another great location for beginners as it has a lot of great options

3850 S New Braunfels Ave #108

Stone Oak Area Boba

Y-Bubble

You already know Stone Oak Parkway traffic is bad, grab a boba, sit in traffic. You won’t be grumpy. They also have light snacks like takoyaki which is perfect for your traffic.

19141 Stone Oak Pkwy #501

Tropic Cup

I’ve taken my mom here to try the che but she wasn’t sure about it. Instead, she got the boba and liked it. But go for the che and live your best life.

1160 N Loop 1604 E #108

Selma and Northeast San Antonio Boba Spots

T-Pioca

Far north east? I got you! T-Pioca is the spot for you! They’re a cute little shop tucked into a shopping center but the major perks are you’re near all the Asian grocery stores on the North East side for easy shopping. Shop first- treat yourself afters.

5514 Walzem Rd, Suite 7

Bobatopia

Is this location far away? Yes, do you go to Ikea and crave boba afters, also yes. Here’s your back to SA road trip treat!

14971 HI 35 North suite # 107 Selma, TX

Boba Tea Lounge

Is this in Selma, yes! Are we going to still recommend it? Yes, my blog has no borders and if you’re by the Forum then might as well grab a boba for the road.

15069 I-35 Frontage Rd #208 Selma, TX

Multiple Locations

Zero Degrees- Multiple Locations

The only true fusion restaurant on this list is Zero Degrees. It’s scattered all around town but apart from getting over the top drinks, mangonadas and shakes- you’re also able to get food. Wings, fries, mac’n’cheese, and noodles are there for you to choose from and it’s definitely giving me sitting in the car watching a movie energy.

Tealicious- Multiple Locations

Honesty, if you’re looking for boba nearly anywhere on the far west side of San Antonio, you’ll find a Tealicious Cafe. Overall perks: they’re a larger boba house so you’ll find a wide selection of toppings which makes this a better place to take beginners.
