BAMBU

I Always get the same order when I come here.
I love how when I walked up to the register, they knew my order!

4 stars for the desserts and drinks
2.5 stars for the location and parking
2 stars for cleanliness — there was a line of ants along the wall near the table we were sitting at and the table was super sticky. There was also flies flying around.
They also offer ice cream macaroons in various flavors! If they don’t have something out on the floor, ask for it at the counter, they have more in the back. The times I’ve been to this location is in the evening, so the TV is blasting with music videos. You will need to speak semi loud and clear to avoid an order error. Other then that, enjoy!

Bambu Vietnamese chain around theBay Area, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Portland, Houston, Austin, and even in Morrow, Georgia! Serving up Vietnamese traditional dessert dishes and here is a few of my favorites:
— Coconut, pandan jelly, longan, basil seed
— Combination: Red bean, white bean, green/​mung bean, taro, pandan jelly, pearl, combo jelly
— Basil seed, longan
— Longan, grass jelly
— Grass jelly, pandan jelly
— Red tapioca, grass jelly, pandan jelly, and coconut with ice
Reasonable price point, good service, and cheap eat!

The drinks are average. However the ladies work there are not polite at all, when the drinks are ready they never tell us about it and we just keep waiting until my wife ask them. No way to run a business like that.

I like smash avocado. There are several places they have smash avocado but this place make the best. I like to add some boba and Jellies it tastes very good.

COCONUT MILK TEA WITH PEARLS is all you need to know when coming here. I ordered this drink because I loved it so much at the Davis Bambu location, but this location makes it even better! I am almost inclined to say that this Bambu makes the BEST coconut milk tea I have ever tried (and I’ve tried this drink at many many different boba places).
The place itself is a little small, but they do have some outside seating as well! The place needs a little ventilation however — the first thing I noticed was how warm it was inside the place. But nevertheless I will definitely be coming back to order another coconut milk tea soon! :)

#3 for $ 3.75!!! Why is this location $ 1.25 less than the Sunnyvale location? No idea but it’s so good! Lots of sugar and jelly mixed into my drink. I asked for less ice and they did not skimp on anything like other places will.
So good!

My cousin told me about this place in Seattle and brought me to it when I went to go visit. We discovered that there was right behind my house and so the day my brother picked me up from the airport, he brought me and my kids there to buy one of these drinks that I was raving about. I am so glad that my cousin told me about this place. It’s nice to know that they use fresh and healthy ingredients. They use fresh fruit in their smoothies so I won’t feel guilty bringing my kids here. I will definitely be coming here a lot during the summer because their drinks are super refreshing!

Treated the family to dessert drinks for Mother’s Day, so I bought 8 drinks. Not bad, I suppose. The drinks aren’t too sweet, not too bland, and the beans, jelly, etc. are plentiful — not complaining about that.
However, the girl at the cashier was probably the worst part of the experience. I don’t need a super chatty and bubbly person at the register, but the least she could do is offer a smile instead of the rude/​monotonous service I was delivered.
Only two because the drinks weren’t that great and the service just brought it down a few notches. And all the drinks are pre-​made, too; they just take the prepared cups of ingredients from the fridge and dump in the drink portion of it.

Love Bambu in fremont. Found one in San Jose but it stinky here lol! Waited outside for my drink

Really enjoying the passion tea juice (mixed with tea) with boba.
The pulp is refreshing though it is a bit sweet and the passion fruit seeds can be a bit annoying.
Definitely will be back to try the other drinks.

This place is just like all the other Bambu places with the awesome drinks… with one exception… THE PRICE.
I pay over $ 1 more at OTHER locations I have been to, so when I’m in the area, I always make sure I stop by here and enjoy a great dessert/​drink at a great price.
This place also has a much larger variety of other types of drinks than most Bambu stores, but I always stick with their signature drinks/desserts…why fix what isn’t broke, right?
I am a favorite of their #6 because of all the fruits and other random goodies included. I think it is $ 0.25 more than most of the other drinks, but well worth the couch change.
Happy Eating!

Before BAMBU’s came around, the only places to grab some good Vietnamese dessert were Huong Lan or Lee’s Sandwich. But now when I’m craving some Vietnamese dessert, BAMBU is the place to go!
My favorite is their mashed avocado which is slightly sweet with different jellies and bobas in it. Or if I’m feeling something refreshing, I grab the #1 which has some coconut meat, jellies, and chia seeds in it. Perfect for the summer.
Since I’m from Sacramento, there is a BAMBU there, however I enjoy this location a lot better because of the atmosphere with the huge TV. They’re always playing some good music too so it’s fun while I wait for my drinks/​desserts. Wouldn’t recommend for a big party to come here since the place is so small with limited seats and tables.

They play better music now (haha! new Pop and R/​B hits) and their décor has greatly improved.
During my last few visits, I got one of the Combination Che’s, #4, and it was realllly good. I like that it’s not too sweet, just enough that you feel refreshed but not like you’re gonna get DIABEETUS. Haha. The #4 has grass jelly, red tapioca, pandan jelly, jello, and mung bean.
I will definitely be returning!

Not my favorite Bambu — much sweeter than usual, cash only, and does not accept the Bambu stamp card.
Small location with limited indoor seating and some outdoor tables.

LOVE LOVE LOVE BAMBU!
I’ve been to other places that tried to recreate the Smashed Avocado drink, but it is not the same! BAMBU does it the best!
I don’t even know how many avocado goes into a drink, but every spoonful is filled with avocado goodness! :) I loved the different boba and jellies that come along with the drink. I could have sworn I tasted a bit of coffee in there too! Whatever they’re doing with this smashed avocado drink, they’re doing it right! OH and you cannot forget the condense milk. I mean let’s face it, anything with condense milk is delicious!
I have tried other drinks on the menu as well. Mostly the Vietnamese che and desserts. I like the Che Trai Cay! It has jackfruit, coconut and durian in it! A bunch of fruits in a cup. Basically the Vietnamese version of fruit cup! Haha
This location is great since there are plenty of parking spaces! There are outdoor seatings as well! Although, I prefer the indoor seatings since there’s a huge tv that plays the top music videos for your entertainment! The staffs are extremely nice! I love how they take your orders on post-​it notes! But the order comes out really quick. The speediness is what I love! They know that I want my drink and they won’t wait a second less to get it out. :)
I love the new pictures added on the wall! It makes ordering a lot easier! And I cannot wait to try the other favorites as well! :) Keeping my eyes out for the caffeinated drinks! Good job BAMBU, we love YOU!

Jasmine milk tea review only. Yep, I’m very specific.
Having some errands to run in this plaza this morning, I was very pleasantly surprised to find that this shop was open. Even their hours posted in their window state that they are closed on Mondays. However, a printout sign at their register told me that they were open specifically it was Labor Day.
I was in the mood for a drink, not a dessert, so I got the jasmine milk tea ($ 2.95, only seems to be available in that size) without boba. The employee prepared it quickly enough. The tea tasted fine, although it would have benefited about an hour of letting the ice melt. What I’m saying is that it was a little sweet and concentrated, you know?
Still, I can’t help but give brownie points for actually having convenient, reasonably priced milk tea on a date that they were presumably not going to be open. Oh, and it was also fun to see a infamous Miley Cyrus music video on their HD television set.

Che used to scare me.
Imaging a plethora of colorful unrecognizable things growing in your cup, resembling a science project that had been left out in the sun over summer break. Then you come back to school and open the lid, and you think you have Che.
I’m glad I overcame my fear… and now I’m hooked on the #6.

The drinks I got from this place didn’t come close to the other branch in Hostetter. And I had the same order of drinks. I thought since they were a branch of the same store they would have standardized the quality of the products they serve. The one I had here had too much of the jelly, lacking sweetness and the ice wasn’t snow like compared to the other branch. The frequency of comparison is that I had the better one last Sunday and the other «not so good» one was ordered the next day, Monday, which is not so worth my 3.75 worth of buck…
I got the Vietnamese dessert #6 — che trai cay… which should have been my supposedly favorite but here I was sipping a cup of disappointment.
clean place and nice interior. they have a menu and pictures of their best selling desserts and drinks… which is nice. (
