Boba Pub

Boba Pub is a Taiwanese-style bubble tea shop at 405 W Loop 281, Suite L, in Longview, next to the Albertsons shopping center on the Loop. Its Instagram sums up the pitch in one line: an authentic Taiwanese boba experience. The menu covers milk teas, brewed and flavored fruit teas, Yakult, and milk slushies that work a lot like milkshakes, with boba plus add-ons such as assorted jellies, cheese foam, and egg pudding. Nondairy milk substitutions are available. East Texas Vegan visited soon after the shop opened in 2024 and singled it out for harder-to-find flavors like winter melon and a long list of customizations. Brown sugar boba and taro are among the most-ordered drinks. Drinks are made in plain view of the counter, and the menu asks anyone with allergies or special needs to tell the baristas. The room is small and easygoing, with a seating area on one side and a photo spot on the other. Delivery is available through third-party apps.
