Bubble tea stores in Bangkok
Finding more ways to drink bubble tea is like exploring outer space – we’re always discovering something new. There are bound to be hidden gems among the hundreds of brands available, and it doesn’t have to be from abroad either.
Below are some of the best bubble tea stores in Bangkok from local franchises that you’ll only find in Thailand.
1. Chincha Bubble Tea — self-service BBT buffet

While Chincha has no unique tea flavours to offer like other brands, there aren’t many that can boast themselves as bubble tea buffets.

You can get a small cup for (฿25,~USD0.70) and a large cup for (฿35,~USD0.98). Toppings are an extra (฿5,~USD0.14) and (฿10,~USD0.28) for whipped cream.
You are free to mix and match toppings as you please to create the perfect bubble tea. With almost a dozen toppings and drinks, the possibilities are only limited by how much your cup can hold.

Bearhouse sells quarts of mochi flour (฿120,~USD3.36) so you can DIY mochi pearls at home. This is also a fun activity for the family to mould the mochi pearls as they prefer.
The Yuzu Black Tea With Mochi Pearls (฿105,~USD2.94) or the Southern Thai Milk Tea With Mochi Pearls (฿95,~USD2.66) and pair it with the Milky Chilling Pudding (฿220,~USD6.17) which jiggles from the slightest touch.

3. Moma’s Bubble Tea Bar — cheap but flavourful
The sweet purple potato is another trend that’s been going around lately, and inevitably crossed paths with the bubble tea not long after. Moma’s Sweet Potato Latte (฿39,~USD1.09) has the starchy qualities of the purple potato with the milky sweetness of a bubble milk tea.
Moma’s BBTs are cheap but taste just as great compared to more expensive brands. Also, you don’t have to travel far to taste it yourself because Moma outlets are all over Bangkok.

There was also a bubble tea based on the White Rabbit candy at one point, and we hope to see what other flavours they will surprise us with in the future.

Also recommended is the fresh milk with salted egg custard sauce and konjac boba (฿75,~USD2.10), or you could add salted egg custard sauce to your bubble milk tea as well.

5. Brown Café — unique and colourful flavours

The Brown Café has a magic trick in the form of the anchan strawberry latte with rainbow bubbles (฿80,~USD2.24), a floral drink that transforms before your eyes.
The blue-hued anchan (butterfly pea flower) changes colour when mixed with acidic food like citrus fruits. This drink gets its purple layer when the anchan gets poured into the strawberry latte and followed by collagen bubbles.
The melon niu niu latte with rainbow bubbles (฿80,~USD2.24) looks a lot like melon cream soda in BBT form. This drink doesn’t transform like the anchan, but its lingering melon scent and milky green and rainbow are just as enchanting for photos.
Address: 388 Rama I Rd, Pathum Wan, Pathum Wan District, Bangkok 10330
Opening Hours: 10am-10pm, Daily
Contact: +66 84393 3395 | Brown Cafe’s Facebook | Google Maps
6. Bakt Cafe — dog-themed drinks
Bakt Cafe curiously names all their tea after a breed of dog, each with their own style to love and share the characteristics of their namesake.

The Winter Corgi (฿115,~USD3.22) is a winter melon tea with brown sugar jelly – sweet but on the lighter side.
Then there’s the Puffy Yorkshire (฿115,~USD3.22) that’s familiarly popular but fancy. It is brown sugar fresh milk (or milk tea) with brown sugar jelly and bubble, topped with creme brulee cream cheese.
If you want something standard, they have the Absolute Shiba (฿80,~USD2.24) milk tea with a triple threat of brown sugar bubble, golden bubble, and brown sugar jelly. We’d take all these doggies home if we could.
Address: Soi Ekamai 21, Khwaeng Khlong Tan Nuea, Khet Watthana, Bangkok 10110
Opening Hours: 11am-8pm, Daily

7. GA/GA — stylish BBTs for photos

GAGA’s bubble teas are eye-catching from the very start. Even the more standard milk teas look extravagant because they go overboard with toppings, while fruit teas are beautifully coloured.
Those who love toppings will appreciate GAGA‘s signature GAGA Overload (฿90,~USD2.52), which has four different toppings on milk tea: honey drop, grass jelly, egg pudding, and the usual bubble pearls. Each sip has a blend of chewiness and softness that melts in your mouth.

Take a break from milk teas with fresh tea and juice with these counterparts whether day or night:
- Sunrise (฿95,~USD2.66) are layers of butterfly pea and passion fruit green tea topped with GAGA’s honey drops.
- Blood Moon (฿95,~USD2.66) is pomegranate green tea with grass jelly, chia and honey drops.
Address: 12 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110

8. ATM Tea Bar — order your refreshing boba milk tea through an ATM
This ATM Tea Bar has a unique way of ordering items. You have to order your drink and snack through an ATM provided on the left side of the bar counter and then take the receipt to get your items, which is really interesting.
Last year, the stores announced their new coffee drinks to make you active in the morning. The drinks are Cloud Strawberry Coffee Latte (฿125,~USD3.51) and Cloud Coffee Latte (฿95,~USD2.66). The lattes come with whipped coffee that tastes like a cloud, going perfectly well with the drinks.

Opening Hours: 10am-9pm, Daily

9. cha bar — pearls made from Riceberry rice
The thing that makes this cha bar stand out from other bubble tea stores is its pearls. The pearls are made from Riceberry rice, which is good for your health, so you can drink one without feeling guilty about eating tapioca balls.
The store offers various teas and coffees worth trying, but if you want to try its classic one, you can opt for Classic Milk Cha with Riceberry Boba at ฿55 (~USD1.54).
