Check out The Boba Bar

If you are a Matcha and boba tea lover, then The Boba Bar is the place to go visit. Check out its latest branch in Ar Rawdah. In addition to boba drinks, it also sells mojito with popping pearls, matcha latte, and soft serve. Everything here is made with love, and it shows in every delicious sip. We also recommend the taro boba – the flavour is amazing without being overwhelmingly sweet but still satisfying enough for those who want their taste buds satisfied. Definitely worth the hype we say.
The Boba Bar, two locations including Prince Saud Al Faisal, Ar Rawdah, Jeddah 23432 & Box Park, Al Zahra, Jeddah 23523, Sat to Wed 1pm to 1am, Thurs 1pm to 2am & Fri 3pm to 2am. @thebobabar.sa
