Boba Quest: Bobba Hubba

As part of Boba Quest 2025 🧋, I'm trying and reviewing a new boba shop each week.

This week I tried Bobba Hubba for the first time. It's across the street from the Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue station, so it's reachable by the 7, E, F, M, and R trains, plus the Q70 SBS if you're itching for boba right after landing at LGA (or right before you leave). For some reason Google Maps has the address as 4032 75th St in Flushing, but according to The New York Times's neighborhood map, it's on the border of Jackson Heights and Elmhurst.

I didn't realize until I walked in, but it also doubles as a gaming cafe! And they had a few empty claw machines too.

Anyways, let's get to the boba! Bobba Hubba had a sign advertising their top 4 drinks, so I ordered from the top of the list: a brown sugar milk tea. I wasn't asked about my sugar or ice preferences, so it was the default.

  • Boba: 2/4 the boba was flavored well but too chewy.
  • Tea: 4/4 I think it's really hard to mess up brown sugar milk tea, especially because I'm not the person to complain if something is too sweet.
  • Bonus: 0/1 maybe it was just late and dark outside, but the ambiance inside was not really a place I'd stick around. I didn't see anything about loyalty programs.

Total: 6/10. If I was in the area and craving boba, I wouldn't mind popping in again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to stop by.

P.S. There's now a dedicated RSS feed for all Boba Quest entries. I'll aim to regularly post them on Wednesdays.
