Located in a cozy 750-square-foot space, Boba Bliss accommodates up to 18 guests, making it an ideal setting for both intimate gatherings and casual hangouts. The interior is thoughtfully decorated with an array of flowers and Anime-inspired graphics, which contribute to its unique charm. A striking wall of lush greenery, complemented by twinkling fairy lights and a neon “Boba Bliss” sign, has quickly become a favorite backdrop for social media enthusiasts looking to capture the perfect shot.
Aly Erario, the Social Media/Public Relations Manager, emphasizes the importance of the atmosphere: “The goal of Boba Bliss is to create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere where customers feel at ease and truly at home.” This commitment to comfort is evident in every detail, from the décor to the friendly service provided by the staff.
Boba Bliss offers an extensive selection of bubble teas that cater to various tastes. Customers can indulge in both fruit and milk teas, each customizable with delightful toppings such as popping pearls and jellies. The owner, Leon Hoque, takes pride in crafting fresh tapioca pearls daily, ensuring that each drink is bursting with flavor. Among the standout offerings are the Mint Lemonade, which has quickly become a customer favorite, alongside classic choices like strawberry and mango fruit teas.
Leon’s personal favorites include the taro milk tea and mango fruit tea, while Aly recommends her namesake Lavender Fruit Tea—best enjoyed with blueberry popping pearls for an extra burst of flavor. In addition to bubble teas, patrons can also choose from energizing drinks and refreshing sparkling waters.
The culinary experience at Boba Bliss extends beyond beverages. The menu features a selection of delicious waffles in flavors like strawberry, peach, or chocolate. Crepes are also available, with tempting options such as chocolate chip, Nutella, or vanilla. These treats perfectly complement the drinks and enhance the overall experience.
