Called in hoping for a proper Hot & Sour soup after long day and was delighted with super tasty dish. I only bought soup but was attentively looked after with smiles, prawn cracker dip, and water whilst it was cooked. Not just Boba and fantastic desserts but tasty food at fair prices. Licensed. Im going to be back for a full meal and if you are able to visit I recommend unreservedly as simply brilliant.

We had to drive from Aberdeen for hospital appointment in Glasgow, I’ve seen TikTok about this place and straight away I knew I had to visit. We loved it! Food was fresh and very tasty, bubble tea stole our hearts and desserts were lovely. Staff was extremely attentive and very nice. Lady which was looking after us (I believe she was the owner) made us feel very special. After we left my son said - wow mommy, what a lovely people we will definitely come back Big thanks to each member of staff

My original review when I visited the first time seems to have disappeared! This was my second visit today (wanted to show another friend the cakes) Very clean, modern and cosy place to sit in. The staff both times have been lovely and attentive. One of them very kindly ran out with my order I bought for my fiancé that I somehow forgot to take when leaving the shop!! (Was too busy eyeing the menu options for next time at the window haha) What I love about these cakes is that they are the right level of sweetness and not sickly at all. It's good ingredients and not got any junk in them. Freshly made which shows and a good price for it being in the city centre and home made. I would have taken better pictures but my fiancé ate them so I only have the quick pic I sent him (I've uploaded old photos from my last visit) I've currently messaged them to get a birthday cake ordered for a few months time so will update this review if they are available for it and give feedback on this with a picture! Update: May 2025 So as promised, this part is to review the celebration cakes! They sent a file with hundreds of cake styles to choose from. I paid upfront through Instagram after discussing details. I visited today to collect the cake and wow it looked amazing! Beautifully packaged, they even added a little '40' for me and sat a candle with a little happy birthday tiara on top which was a lovely little extra! The better half loved the birthday cake and said it was delicious. Lovely and light just like their cake pop tubs! I picked the 6" size, you could easily cut 14 small slices or about 7 generous slices. They advised me that it would need to be eaten within 3 days as it's fresh cream used. I asked how much notice they need to make cakes (as a work colleague was interested) and they said usually 2-3 days. People might say it's cheaper to buy a cake in store, but then you don't get a freshly made bespoke cake from a lovely little business. My fiancé will definitely want his future birthday cakes from here now haha! Thank you Boba Bakes for making this special! :)

Finally… an Asian restaurant/cafe which is dog friendly!! We really enjoyed the boba tea (very yummy) and pleasantly surprised by the hot food options too! I had the fried horfun which was very delicious! The cafe is connected to a bbq/hotpot restaurant which is also dog friendly so we will definitely be coming back!!

Had a fabulous time at Boba Cafe today. The food from the lunch was really tasty. The staff and owner were very welcoming and attentive. They were happy to provide advice for us on our first foray into the Asian desserts and Boba drinks. I would thoroughly recommend you try out Boba Cafe for a sit in meal or even for a takeaway. We will be back soon.

Great cafe in the city of Glasgow! You can get a lot under one roof, it's a cafe, it's a bubble tea shop, it's a cake shop, you can get celebration cakes here, it's a Chinese restaurant, and it's a hot pot restaurant too! Despite this, everything is delivered at a high level. This has quickly became the go to place for the asian community to get their birthday cakes now (not too sweet!) See our full video review on our experience under The Olive Tree Family on all social media platforms.

I really like this cake shop. The staff here are very friendly and welcoming, especially they are very cute and humorous. The shop looks very clean and tidy, the space is very suitable for everyone to eat and relax. The service is very fast and enthusiastic. The food here is very delicious, everyone should try it. The price here is very reasonable, it is very cheap. They even left a cute note on our cake package. In short, this cake shop is worth the experience. I highly recommend the food here. Of course, if I have the chance, I will come back soon

They have an extremely friendly staff, and the food was awesome. The chicken gyoza were so delicious—probably the best dumplings I've ever had. The rice with chicken was also good, and the portion was so big I couldn't even finish it! I'm not a fan of sweet stuff, but I also ordered the matcha crepe cake and was very happy that it wasn't cloying.
