Hey besties (best-teas ✌️)! We’re talking boba. We asked about your favorite spot for this sweet and chewy drink and you delivered. Here are some of your faves:

Tiger Sugar is by far the best! Very authentic and they don’t charge you extra for lactose free milk. But let’s talk about the hours. The earliest I have been able to get it is 11 a.m. I need my pre-work boba!” - Chloe B.

“The best boba shop is Möge Tee SLC.” - Joshua J.

Tea Bar is my fave but it might also be because their food menu slaps too. The scallion pancakes are top notch.” - Caroline B.

Irie Coffee Teas and Bobas. It’s in West Jordan and is a locally owned coffee shop run and owned by women of color.” - Jacob L.

Gossip Tapioca in West Valley.” - Luis M.

Space Tea never disappoints. My favorite is New Moon.” - Sen. Luz Escamilla

P.S. We chatted with the Bohoe on City Cast Salt Lake. It’s run by Maya Fraser, who loves boba tea so much, she made an Instagram about it.

Bonus: Maya’s New Pick For The Best

Xing Fu Tang. The Thai tea with their signature HOMEMADE boba is a 10/10 if I ever tasted one. If you enjoy a more tea flavored Thai tea over an overly sweet one you will LOVE this! Bohoe Approved.”

Where’s your go-to place for boba tea?
