We recommend getting exactly what we just envisioned (and craving now). But feel free to order some other popular items like drunken noodles, fried rice, or even their chicken wings!
Cube Tea Studio
This bubble tea cafe is very cute inside! We can tell they were very intentional with their branding and aesthetic. When you first walk in you’ll realize the placed is very mute or greyed out. No literally, the walls and even counter are a light charcoal grey.
But that’s not a bad thing, this makes their very bright cube logo stand out!
Here at Cube Tea Studio you can find very delicious boba flavors right here in University City. The workers behind the counter are friendly and help with any questions you have. And the best part, their boba is deliciously good. They have slushies, milk tea, cheese foam, coffee, great tapioca pearls and more! We recommend getting a drink that has cheese foam in it, it’s quite lovely.

Located in Springfield Missouri, Societea brings bubble tea, roll cakes and more for the locals. This boba cafe brings back nostalgic memories.

This place has all those delicious bakery items that you’re used too like those delicious roll cakes (see more bakery items here), but it also serves up great tasting boba flavors. We recommend getting some traditional flavors here like black milk tea with tapioca pearls or Thai iced milk tea. Heck, support the local cafe even more and get yourself and your family a Swiss roll cake to go as well!
Kung Fu Tea
What’s there to say about Kung Fu Tea?
If you’ve never heard of Kung Fu Tea in the USA you might be living under a rock or you’re just not interested in bubble tea. If you’re not interested in bubble tea, let us convince you why you should be here with what is bubble tea?
With hundreds of stores across the USA, if you find a Kung Fu Tea spot you know you can have above par bubble tea. Sometimes their drinks can be on the sweeter side but a great trick is to order your boba flavors at 50% sweetness. We think the best thing about Kung Fu Tea is that they have a huge variety of boba flavors but you’re able to customize exactly how you like your boba tea too! This is like the Starbucks of bubble tea, you can come and order very customized boba drinks like no other place.
