Welcome to The Boba Tea Shop

“ The Boba Shop debuted in December 2023 in Imperial Valley and is an oasis for those who crave milk tea drinks without driving to a nearby major city. The Tiger milk tea is quite the tasty cup of drink, while sweetened by caramel flavor rather than brown, it’s surely going to it the spot for your sugar craving. Their cheese foam is notably unique, thick full creamy body, salty savory and strong caramel undertone. The bubble waffle is tastes like a spongy waffle and quite fun to eat. Ask for your cream to be subbed with ube ice cream for an Asian flair! ”

“ This little boba shop is a gem! I’m so glad that the Valley is expanding (slowly but surely) and opening different spots like this. The teas are good and the waffle ice cream cone is delicious. I love that there are also milk alternatives like oat milk and coconut milk. I ordered the berry waffle ice cream and it was so good. It had strawberries, blueberries and vanilla ice cream with chocolate drizzle. I also ordered a regular Thai tea with boba and substituted the milk with oat milk, it was good but I honestly recommend getting it with coconut milk instead, it tastes a lot lighter and sweeter. The staff was friendly and the cashier was patient in explaining/ recommending things to me, which I appreciated. The only thing that I do have to acknowledge is that the shop is small so it’s kind of difficult to just sit around and lounge at, especially when it starts getting busy. But I will definitely be stopping by often and trying out different flavors. If you’re in El Centro give this place a try! ”

“ Best milk tea I've tasted. I asked what ingredients they use on their milk teas because theyre not unbearably sweet like other milk teas I've tasted. I was told the owners did research with the sugar they use which is supposed to be a healthier alternative than the other boba shops use. Definitely worth giving a try if you're around. ”

“ It was me and my husband's first time here. We're from Yuma. We were in the mood for some boba and this popped up on Google Maps. I didn't catch the young lady's name, but she was so nice and gave us recommendations on what to try and described the drinks. We tried the Brown Sugar Thai and Brown Sugar Milk bobas. They are so good! We'll be back! ”

“ The Boba Tea Shop in El Centro is hands-down the best tea spot in the Desert South-West! From the moment you walk in, you will experience the warm atmosphere and friendly staff. The menu offers a variety of delicious options, from Classic Milk Tea to Classic Coffee Boba and other creative blends. Each drink is brewed with a perfect balance of flavors every time. Their perfectly cooked tapioca pearls add the perfect chewy texture to every sip. Whether you're a boba enthusiast or trying it for the first time, The Boba Tea Shop is a must-visit destination. Stop by and treat yourself to a refreshing and satisfying experience! A big shout to Phillip and Christine. ”

“ I am a very frequent buyer here and the service is always great but the past few times ive been helped by an older gentleman im charged a little more than usual and im not given what i order, the drink itself is fine but when i ask for certain things its either missing the cheese foam or something else, on this occasion i ordered a thai tea with cheese foam and a matcha with oreo crumbs and both had a milk substitute, everything was fine except for the cheese foam and the oreos which totaled out to $20 which honestly is a bit too much for me i typically pay around $17.50 and on top of that my cups werent even fully filled, i love this place but its happened a few times already and it is a bit disappointing ”

“ Had a Classic milk tea with boba and cream cheese topping. Excellent! They also let me sample the Taro/Ube mix which isn’t powder like the rest of the Imperial Valley boba shops. Definitely recommend! ”

“ The best! Honestly all of then drinks are amazing! Everyone is super sweet and welcoming. Wish they were open later. ”
