    Very nice bubble tea and if you drink it in the café they have glass reusable straws which you can also buy. Good idea! The atmosphere is nice but the decoration mainly consists of nice drawings visitors made. Nice to see. Not a lot of room here but lots of bubble tea options. Both types of bobba are available. I had passionfruit tea and tapioca bubbles and it was delicious.

    Super delicious bubble milk tea in the center of Düsseldorf. You can easily order by automatic machine. Service is quick and dont need to wait too much to have your drink. However, the price is a bit high. But it is acceptable with the quality of milk tea. You can save 50cent if you bring your own cup.

    Standard bubble tea taste, a bit pricey for overall menu compared to teamate as the L size tea here is 3,90 euro, taro milk 4,50€. Topping add on 0,50€. They offer Earl grey black tea as the pearl milk tea base which I found imrpessive! Taro Milch is also nice and worth for a try.

    Properly functional self-service machines, anime/manga and video game decoration all over the place, really fast service, a pretty okay atmosphere *and* reusable cups? This is Sphere Bay, in the heart of Düsseldorf. Starting off with the pros: Quick and friendly service, unique flavors, anime figurines to buy, reusable cups and you can even bring your own, therefore saving 0.50€. The place has a toilet, as mentioned a lot of video game and manga decoration making it more interesting, the self-service machine is quite easy to understand and is also fully functional. The bubble tea itself was pretty alright. The self-service machine support many languages and the service itself can also speak English making it more flexible on that factor. Without sugar or with percentages, with non-lactose milk or not, a big variety on the drinks and bubbles. The atmosphere is alright, it could easily be better maybe with a bit more music, a warmer environment or just by separating the first floor from the second. The cons: Tables are available but on the second floor and there aren't many seats. The floor was sticky when I was there but that can be because it was a rainy day. It surely wasn't warm but not necessarily extreme cold, without a jacket or if you were light dressed, you could have had a problem. Nevertheless, the biggest problem about this place would probably be the prices, they aren't extremely expensive but it exceeds the "cheap" or even "average" price for sure. Overall the place is alright, I would probably come again but it surely wouldn't be a place to stick to for bubble tea.

    I would not recommend the brown sugar / leopard milk tea, as there is no foam and the tapioca is not caramelized. But fruit green teas are great !

    Fast service and green bubble tea. Love how they are open late at night so I can get my bubble tea fix on. I recommend getting the han tien topping!

    Ordered the Matcha Latte with tapioca balls. Was very strong, which is how I like it, the quantity of ice was very adequate (and it was shaved ice which is cool). The quality of matcha seemed to be alright as well, slightly bitter yet delicious. The other thing I liked was that it could be ordered with very low amount of sugar which is rare for this specific tea in other stores. The only small problem I had was with the tapioca balls, they seemed too chewy.

    Great tea and atmosphere! An absolute gem in Düsseldorf. Whether you want to stay in or take away, this is a good experience. The place has a clear identity and unique style, but the best is that the tea tastes good and is well made! On top of all, staff is friendly and multi lingual, payment works smoothly with your smart device and service is pretty fast despite a popular place. I will return here for a bubble tea many times!

    🧋🧋🧋Great spot for some bubble tea in the Little Tokyo District! So many flavors to chose from and very affordable prices! We all decided to try different flavors and everything was wonderful!!! 🧋🧋🧋

    Such a HUGE variety of ways to enjoy your drink — you can sit and enjoy it or take it to go — and the decor is very cool! Had the classic: black tea with tapioca and oat milk — can recommend. If you’re doing takeaway just step outside while you wait or grab a book next door.

    Very nice place! I had a Japanese Matcha with red beans instead of tapioca bubbles. A revelation! Not too sweet, just perfect. Very friendly, sometimes the place can get extremely busy.

    I went for the green ice tea passion fruit flavor with Lychee spheres. The great part was having the freedom to order it without sugar. Passionfruit flavor was really good. Lychee spheres were tasting normal good.

    Friendly service, my order was prepared quickly. I got number 2 from the recommended drinks. Very flavourful, nothing to complain about. Also you got quite a lot, so the price is reasonable. (fish bread is not from here)

    The experience with self service machines was mixed initially but got the hang of it. The most annoying is the creeping increase in cost which was very annoying and would be the biggest issue for future recurring visits. A step increase of costs associated with the beverage fairly quickly a cup of bubble tea cost 7+ or more euro. (Most other cities 5 euro) incl. Pfand Taste is mediocre compared to options in Vienna, Berlin, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Amsterdam. Compared to Asia the gap is quite extensive yet. Not bad but not good, mixed a bit half hearted or recipe here is just like that. The self service machines was somewhat great to decrease bottleneck issues on orders so can recommend this for other bubble locations. Upstairs great for meeting up and to play games can recommend for TCG or board gamers. Limited seating 20 approx and during summer maybe too hot but nice 4 pers. tables. Definitely a strength to have some seatings. Decorations quite nice. Toilet available by purchasing beverages. Overall alright.

    Busy fast paced spot for milk tea. It was good but I think it could use a bit more flavor, while I enjoy the large size it would be great if there was smaller sizes to choose from. A lot of varieties of teas to choose from. Not enough tapioca pearls for the size of the cups and it was not as cold as I typically enjoy other milk tea establishments.

    The only boba 🧋 milk tea store in Düsseldorf that remains open after 8pm 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 A lot of options and flavors! Personally I love the Leopard: classic black milk tea with brown sugar syrup, plus tapiocas bobas of course! Yum 😋 ✅Tips for first-timers: cold bobas always taste times better than hot/warm ones 🥶 Can you guys do delivery please 🥹🥹 🥲The only “downside”: you speak German really fast and my kaputt Deutsch can’t follow 😆😆😆

    I like the taro latte - a bit too sweet though. Their service is great and very friendly and helpful!

  • 4/5 fhabulous 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered Leopard milk tea and classic milk tea. Both taste not bad but not strong enough tea flavor - anyway boba tastes good not too sweet. Fast and friendly service even when I visited was quite crowd.

    Tasty bubble tea place with many options. On this occasion I also ordered the coconut milkshake. I would repeat!

  • 3/5 AlexNightcoreWorld 2 years ago on Google
    I can’t say anything about the bubbletea since i didn‘t try it there yet. But I actually had an uncomfortable experience today. It was due to my own mistake. So I want to say that the store probably is really good anyways. ITS MY FAULT. I came here with my socialy anxiety, looking for a new bubbletea alternative with a friend. I made the mistake and didn‘t read the menu before ordering and we just trusted the old photo on google maps without thinking about it. Firstly it was hard to order due to the covid restriction glass wall. He was very good at german and english probably too and very nice to us. He was patient until he got the order. Then he told us a different price and we realized we couldn’t afford it, so we tried to explain that but it was hard since he still couldn’t understand it, it was very embarassing and awkward for me and i started talking louder. He still couldn’t understand it and there were some misunderstandings. In the end we just left and I think he was confused because he still didn’t understand. I felt sorry towards him because of that and also because i talked so loud I felt very rude. Things like these must make his working experience a little worse. Im sorry for him. Things like ordering something are very nerve wrecking for me. It made me cry afterwards even though I realized it wasn’t a too bad experience. Its just the first time in such a long time for me to try going into the world and being able to talk to others at all. I will give the store another chance and try it again anyways, because for me they optically are one of the best stores in düsseldorf so far. They also have a huge variety so you should just give them a try. If you have problems like these too or anything similar, just be sure to be prepared for ordering.

    Terrific. The kind of place that makes a good experience even during COVID. Would love to see it when the world opens up again.

  • 5/5 Linkie c. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious Boba in a very cute and comfy place around Little Tokyo district! Definitely great for those who appreciate aesthetic vibes, however it was crowded when we went so we couldn't find a place to sit

  • 4/5 Julia A. 3 years ago on Google
    You need to be a lover of bubbles, otherwise you get disappointed. However, you can always order good tea with no bubbles.

  • 3/5 Nguyen N. 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered the leopard milk tea and the oolong milk tea. Both tasted a bit watered down and not very strong tea flavor. The service was friendly and fast though.

  • 5/5 Sakura G. 3 years ago on Google
    A great place! I‘ve had my first ever bubble tea here years ago and I‘m glady revisiting whenever I can. The people have always been super nice and are very flexible with special requests. Their Leopard Milk Tea is really good and comparatively cheaper to other places, so I‘d definitely recommend visiting.
