Ah, what’s a better pick-me-up after a long day of lectures other than a nice, tall cup of milk tea? Even better if there are some fun pearls to chomp on as a side snack as you ponder with your friends on what to have for dinner later…
Bubble tea (or boba, we don’t discriminate how you label it!) is not new to the Malaysian scene. Standing tall against the test of time, it looks like the addictive milk tea is here to stay.
Familiar names and newcomers alike; here is our top list of the best boba and bubble milk teas in Malaysia!
KOI
A household name, KOI is no stranger when it comes to quality bubble tea. From their own signature golden bubble pearls to their creamy milk tea, this is a top boba brand that isn’t going anywhere.
Gong Cha
The classic that most of us grew up with during our school days, Gong Cha remains one of the best boba places in Malaysia! With numerous outlets regionally and a menu that keeps growing; you can’t go wrong with Gong Cha’s signature selection.
Tealive
Malaysians represent! This local brand rose up to the hearts of many as an affordable yet delicious bubble tea brand. Tealive’s addition of hot snacks also makes it a great pit stop before a study session 😉
The Alley
With a trademark logo that could be recognised from a mile away, The Alley is a somewhat pricier boba brand known for handmaking all of its quality ingredients. If you’ve tried their Deerioca specials— then you definitely know it’s worth it!
Chatime
Another classic that we have fond memories with, Chatime is steadily growing despite being in the business for over a decade. This Taiwanese favourite is still in the hearts of many.
Xing Fu Tang
Tapping into the more bougie options, Xing Fu Tang is not a go-to when it comes to affordability but for good reason. Proudly presenting itself as ‘the first stir-fried brown sugar boba’, you’re in for a good time when it comes to a freshly made drink on the spot.
Cojiitii
A local newcomer on the scene that taps into specialty, Cojiitii creates handcraft cocoa beverages for all you chocolate addicts! Rest assured their menu included non-chocolate items as well, so you could still grab milk teas, cheese teas, or freshly made juices.
Which ones of these boba places are your go-to’s when it comes to bubble tea? Let us know down below!
