Customer Review Summary

Bubble tea draws most reviewers to Bubble & Bean, with the brown sugar bubble tea, taro with strawberry jelly, and watermelon milk boba each singled out for praise, alongside a classic bubble milk tea and chocolate bubble waffles from another visit. Coffee comes up repeatedly too, with several calling it the best around and one highlighting a pistachio oat latte, while the cakes and a vegan sausage sandwich get mentions as well. The owner is repeatedly described as welcoming, with reviewers noting the community feel and a comfortable atmosphere with cushioned seating. A couple of reviewers wanted stronger tea flavor and more brown sugar taste, and one noted there was no option to choose sweetness or ice level. Several reviewers say they plan to return, often after being served a drink alongside a slice of cake.

  • Callum Green
    “An absolute hidden gem. The environment was calming, relaxing, and uniquely decorated. The chairs with extra cushions were comfy and the drinks were both tasty and well-presented. The owner was absolutely lovely and it was very clear how much community there is within this small cafe based on the heartfelt conversations with the locals. Unfortunately we didn't try the food but they do offer a vegan sausage sandwich.”

  • Nikol Shushulova
    “Bubble & Bean is one of my favourite places! Jojo, the owner, is such a hardworking and kind person — she always greets everyone with a smile and makes you feel so welcome. You can tell she puts her heart into everything she does, from the drinks to the atmosphere. The bubble teas and coffees are always delicious, and the café has such a warm, friendly vibe. It’s more than just a café — it’s a little community spot that brightens your day every time you visit. 💛”
