For sweet tea enthusiasts, Bobaland in Plano, is a vast land of endless drinks where beverage-lovers can indulge in their hobby.

Unlike some places, Bobaland makes things easy for first-time customers and provides nice descriptions of their most popular drinks right at the entrance, as well as a detailed picture of the beverage.

The Red Galaxy, one of Bobaland’s specialties, really does look like an endless galaxy of ingredients. The basil seeds drift at the top with some strawberry bits and lychee flavored jelly floating at the bottom, all immersed in black tea. It’s idea for customers who enjoy just regular tea with jellies.

For milk tea lovers, their classic milk tea with bubbles is fresh and delicious.

And even though they look extremely similar, the jasmine milk tea tastes like heaven, with its sweeter taste of the traditional jasmine tea.

The drinks come out fast for those in a rush and the employees provide bags for customers that like to enjoy their drink at home. There is a giant jar full of straws of all kinds of colors, furthering the aesthetic feel of Bobaland.

As a first-time customer, Bobaland’s prices seem slightly overpriced for a drink, (Red Galaxy-$3.95, Milk Tea-$3.50, Jasmine Milk Tea-$3.50), but it really satisfies that craving for something refreshing on a hot summer day, especially in Texas. And the size is plentiful.

Bobaland has a very friendly look to it with its colorful walls and nice lighting. Its location next to Jusgo Supermarket and various restaurants like Umeko Sushi is convenient for families to grab a bottle while on a grocery trip or for diners looking for a cool place for dessert.  

There are plenty of tables and chairs for consumers to enjoy their drinks and even some comfortable lawn chairs for lounging. Not only that, they provide many classic games like Uno, making it a good place for friends to spend their time together.

Bobaland is truly the best place in the area for bubble tea enthusiasts and people simply looking for a place to have a nice chat.
